I have created a small site using google-sites, and I listed a handful of people as collaborators. Some of them have gmail accounts, while some don't. I would understand it if only the users with gmail accounts were able to edit, but that is not the case. Some users can, and some can't. but some gmail users can, and some gmail users cannot.
Should I be focusing on the user, the browser they are using, or is there somewhere else I should look to troubleshoot this?
Does it sound like user error? I have asked them if they see the EDIT button at the top right, and they say no edit buttons of any kind appear.
EDIT: In researching this, it appears that sometimes it is related to the difference between google apps accounts and gmail accounts. Can anyone add anything to that possibility?

Galarraga gets a Corvette for near perfection, Halladay gets a Fishing Pole from the Phillies for Perfection
I knew the Phillies were strapped for cash with all the recent signings of Ryan Howard, Placido Polanco, and of course Roy Halladay himself. According to Cot's Baseball Contracts, an internet site devoted to following contracts of major leaguers, the Phillies payroll is $138 Million this season.
The recent story involving Detroit Tigers pitcher, Armando Gallaraga, and his near perfect game the other night in Detroit has to have you scratching your head in relationship to Roy Halladay's perfect game that he pitched in Florida just one week ago.
General Motors president of North America operations, Mark Reuss happens to be good friends with the owner of the Detroit Tigers and when hearing of Galarraga's saga, responded with giving the Detroit pitcher a brand new red Corvette. He was quoted as saying "It is only fitting we help give back for all the Ilitches have done for Detroit and to celebrate Armando's pitching and sportsmanship during one of the most captivating evenings in Tigers history," Reuss wrote.
Tonight in Philadelphia, before the game with San Diego, Roy Halladay was presented with a 'fishing pole' by none other than the Phillie Phanatic on field at Citizens Bank Park for Halladay's perfect game he pitched in Florida. Wow, talk about a contrast between two gifts for pitching gems like these pitchers did. Halladay also got a trip to fish for Bass from the Phillies. I wonder if they threw in the bait?

It's said that's what Doc would have wanted over a flashy car. Besides, it's not any trip, it's a trip with one of the best bass fishers in the world.ReplyDelete
Yeah, it caught some flack with a lot of people even on ESPN.ReplyDelete
I agree, it's a nice gesture but not what you would expect for pitching a perfect game.
Just didn't fit the occasion for me.

It's been over three months since I've blogged.
Lots of personal changes have taken place. I started a full-time job. And quit after a month. (Reasons too many to go into–)
After a 25-year absence in an elementary classroom, I'm returning this fall as a substitute teacher.
Some of you know a short story of mine appeared in a mystery writers' anthology this summer. The main character, Fancy Raeford Hodge, is a Durham born-and-bred amateur sleuth. She was and is such a kick to write!
The Lord led me to finish editing my mystery manuscript after 7 years of working on it. If and when Dead Doc is published, it will be appearing under my own name.
A new website with my newly-acquired domain (jeanhuffman.com) is in the works. The main character, Fancy, will have her own fun blog.
Readers, this is where I tell you "From the Church House" will soon be coming to an end. It's been a hoot . . .and to be honest, sometimes a worry, when I wasn't sure if anyone was reading. . . .Regardless, the Lord has taught me a lot through this baptism of fire, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
I covet your prayers. If this writing thing flies, it will fly. If it doesn't, that's okay, too. It's always been His idea and I just want to be obedient. May The Lord bless you abundantly!
ALWAYS Lookin' up,

text: It's the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs! Did you know that the woodland cartoon characters are blue because of creator Pierre Culliford's wife? "They couldn't be green — they would have vanished in the vegetation. Red would have been too flashy and yellow a bit unfortunate. Only blue was left!" As for Smurf Village, a place notorious for having only one female resident, Smurfette, changes are in store. The Smurfs are set to star in feature film later this year, marking not only their big anniversary, but the arrival of girl power. Says Hendrik Coysman, head of Smurf rights holder IMPS, "There have been dramatic changes in socio-cultural values in the past 20 to 25 years. One of these is girl empowerment. So, there will be a greater female presence in the Smurf village and this will, of course, be a basis for new stories and this will probably turn upside down certain traditional situations within the village." Hmm, relying on one chick to lay a whole town is traditional? [Time; Reuters]

It could hardly be more impressive: the monumental former abbey church, dating from the 11th century, that dominates the medieval centre of Payerne.
This is the largest Romanesque building in Switzerland, a prime example of Cluniac architecture, and the most important sight in a small town that is exceptionally rich in history. Throughout the year, the abbey and its museum stage important exhibitions of paintings, as well as a series of high-quality concerts.
Thanks to its position near Lake Neuchâtel and not far from the nature reserve of the Grande Cariçaie, Payerne also makes a good base for a host of excursions into nature. And anyone hungry after a day in the outdoors will enjoy the wonderful sausages made here that have become famous way beyond the ruins of the ancient town walls.

Game Leaders
Team Stats
Passing Yards
Rushing Yards
Time of Poss.
LISLE, Ill. - The Benedictine University football team scored in all four quarters to dispose of Aurora University 33-23 in the homecoming game on Saturday afternoon.
Special teams set up the first score of the game as Colin Kanehl blocked a punt after the defense forced Aurora three and out. Benedictine recovered at the two yard line and Michael McNulty recorded a rushing touchdown to put the Eagles in front 7-0 with 10:28 left in the first quarter.
Aurora pulled within 7-3 on a 29-yard field goal with just 1:30 to go in the opening quarter, but Artie Monaco stole the show on special teams on the kickoff. Monaco went end zone to end zone in a 100-yard return to extend the advantage to 14-3. The next Aurora play was intercepted by Rodney Nichols. The Eagles used an eight play drive to distance themselves further on a two yard run from Cyle Schultz with 13:05 left in the half.
The visitors recorded 14 straight points to move within 20-17 early in the second half. Benedictine faked a punt and collected a first down on fourth and 14 on a run by R.J. Bain to help lead the way for Schultz to connect with Kanehl on a 53-yard touchdown through the air. Schultz scored again early in the fourth on a one yard plunge to help put the game away. Aurora would add a late touchdown, but Benedictine was able to run out the clock on the win.
Benedictine racked up almost 400 yards of offense in a balanced effort that featured 142 yards rushing and 250 yards passing. The Eagles also dominated in time of possession, holding the ball for almost two thirds of the game.
McNulty rolled up 112 yards on 34 carries for his third 100-yard effort of the season. Schultz completed 16 passes for 250 yards with a touchdown while running for two. Kanehl reeled in five passes for 111 yards including a 36-yard play that helped set up the final touchdown. Kris Rosemann picked up 10 tackles to lead the defense.
Benedictine (3-2, 1-1) travels to Rockford University next week for a 2:00 p.m. game.

Allen: NHL must negotiate with Fehr, not attack him
At best, an unidentified NHL official exercised poor judgment in accusing NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr of not fully informing his constituents of the NHL's offer.
At worst, owners are embracing a misguided, counter-productive strategy
Anyone who believes owners can bring about peace with players by trying to discredit their leader has not been watching how Fehr has managed this organization.
STORY:What happened in Friday's talks
All you need to do is talk to Fehr for 10 minutes and you realize that he's a union man the way Derek Jeter is a Yankee and Mick Jagger is a Rolling Stone. Transparency. Inclusiveness. Getting more people involved. Fehr doesn't just talk about those ideas; it's clear he believes in them. He has said continually that every player is welcome at every bargaining session.
One of the constant quotes you get from players, often unsolicited, is how well-informed everyone is about the issues.
The targeting of Fehr resulted from his Thursday night memo in which he didn't go into elaborate detail about the owners' proposal. Owners want to reduce players' share of the revenue from 57% to 50% and players say they will only accept a 50-50 split that includes a gradual walk-down that assures the preservation of their already-signed contract values. In response to that request, owners say they will commit $211 million back to players over the first two seasons.
Under the drop from 57% to 50%, players would lose more than $461 million over two years, not counting revenue growth. Hence, owners, through their proposal, are offering to return roughly 45% of player losses for those two years.
About the owners' "make whole" offer, Fehr wrote: "While a small step forward, a significant gap remains."
This memo came after players had the opportunity to climb aboard a conference call to hear about the offers in detail. If a player doesn't know what's happening in the bargaining session, it isn't Fehr's fault.
BLOG:Support flows in for Fehr
Fehr is often vilified by fans because he represented Major League Baseball players when a 1994 strike cost the sport its postseason, but the truth is Fehr is always respected and lionized by those he represents. He's an impressive guy, and his guys will stand up for him.
An NHLPA spokesman offered a one-word expletive as his unofficial response to the Fehr targeting, and it seemed like a perfect response. Players clearly viewed the Fehr attack as pure malarkey.
Owners aren't going to get this deal by trying to tug on Superman's cape. There is no kryptonite that will bring down Fehr. This is not 2004-05.
This battle with players has been about the money from the beginning, and it will only be settled when the money is right. By dropping players from 57% to 50%, owners are trying to gain about $1.6 billion over a six-year period.
In the make whole offer, owners are reducing that take by about $211 million. That's not enough to protect the value of contracts already signed. They will reduce their percentage, but they are adamant about protecting their signed contracts.
How much does the make whole pool have to grow to get players to agree? Some say it is another $370 million, plus the league agreeing to back off on the vast majority of their demands for changes to free agency, arbitration and contract lengths.
Would you consider the sides too far apart to get a deal done? That's an average of more than $12 million per team over the course of six years. Could a deal get done if the NHL added another $100 million to the make-whole pool. Would owners do that? How about $150 million?
The answer is that we don't know. The only way we are going to know if the two sides continue to talk every day without the distractions of finger-pointing, name-calling or personal attacks. Regardless of whether you like Fehr, talking to him in this situation is a more effective strategy than talking about him.

Robinson Cano Signs with Jay-Z's Agency
Rocboys! #rocnationsports #yankees twitter.com/RobinsonCano/s…— Robinson Cano (@RobinsonCano) April 2, 2013
"Allow me to re-introduce myself…" will be said so many times in the next few days that I can't even think of an over/under for it. That lyric is from Jay-Z's song "Public Service Announcement," and it fits in perfectly with what he is doing at this moment in time.
The mogul is already a well-known musician. Already known as a businessman. Already known as a part-owner of a New York sports team. Now he has dipped his feet into the world of sports agents, creating Roc Nation Sports. The man who said, "check out my swag…I walk like a ballplayer" has signed a guy who has spent his entire career in New York, as Robinson Cano has signed with Jay-Z's marketing agency in a joint partnership with CAA to represent him in his contract year.
While I don't have an opinion on whether or not this is a good move on Cano's part, this much is for sure: Jay-Z reps New York. Carries it on his back. Has part-ownership in a New York basketball team. His anthem "Empire State of Mind" pays homage to his city. As his first client, it's not absurd to think that he wants Cano to be the face of the Yankees for the rest of his career. Not only that, but become the face of New York and represent New York just like Jay does. To a degree, he now has that control. Obviously Cano is going to have the final say, but I can definitely see Cano retiring in Pinstripes. He might not hit the open market.
As Jay says in "Dig A Hole," "[you're] playin' checkers with chess playin' Hov." This is the first move in the chess game. So, Jay-Z, brush that dirt off your shoulders. You've got some meetings to attend.

Egypt economic losses on the rise.
Economists are trying to estimate the economic losses incurred by Egypt during the period of protests and political turmoil. There are some estimates that these losses are in the range of 55 to 100 billion pounds.
A report by the Information Center said that these losses are multiplied, especially with the closure of several vital sectors, including tourism and financial services, asserting that the biggest challenge currently is to restore confidence in the Egyptian economy.
Samir Radwan, the new finance minister has said in previous statements that the country suffered huge economic losses during the political protests but noted the government is committed to meeting its financial obligations. "The losses will be huge," he said, adding: "It is premature to accurately estimate the size of these losses."
Warlier this week, Credit Agricole Bank in Egypt, projected the economic growth will drop to 3.7% in 2001 from 5.3%, after the Egyptian economy suffered a major blow with the departure of some one million tourists from the country.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said losses amounted to about $ 90 million after the suspension of the internet services during the first five days of the riots. This is expected to have a greater impact on the Egyptian economy over the long term.
Other reports indicate the loss of the transport sector at 15 million pounds per day as a result of the events in Egypt. The daily losses to the Metro is put at 1 million pounds, the loss of the Egyptian railway amounts to 4 million pounds per day, and the losses of Egyptian ports hit 10 million pounds per day.
On his part, Dr. Fakhry Fiki, a professor of economics at Cairo University and a former Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund explained that there are two types of costs for the economy - the first includes the prices of real assets, buildings and real estate as well as financial assets, stocks and bonds, which will return to normal as soon as things back to normalcy. The second type includes losses which can not be compensated as they were incurred during the period of protests, which caused the significant interruption of economic activity.
Fiki pointed out that Egypt has suffered huge economic losses as well as paralysis in the production sector, distribution of goods and services. According to him, the total economic losses incurred by Egypt range from 55 to 60 billion poundsm but this figure is likely to rise to nearly 100 billion pounds in the event of continuing political tensions.

combat a bigger, supernatural threat
It's executed well simply because the developers never glorified the war or took a stupid way out, unlike most other JRPGs, where you have this war but then both sides stop and join together to combat a bigger, supernatural threat.

WASHINGTON - An Air Force medical technician who served in Afghanistan has been chosen to dance with President Barack Obama at an inaugural ball Monday night.
Staff Sgt. Bria Nelson is one of four enlisted men and women announced Friday as dance partners for the president, first lady, vice president and his wife at the Commander in Chief's Ball.
President George W. Bush was the first to host the ball to honor U.S. troops and began the tradition of taking a brief spin with one of the military guests. Obama did so as well at his first inauguration, and this year is doubling the size of the Commander in Chief's Ball to about 4,000 guests, most of them enlistees.
The four chosen to dance each are stationed in the Washington area after serving in the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. A board of senior enlisted leaders picked them from more than 50 candidates nominated by military leaders, based on criteria including combat experience and volunteer efforts.
Nelson, an Indianapolis native, currently is serving at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington.
First lady Michelle Obama's partner is Marine Gunnery Sgt. Timothy Easterling, a native of Barnwell, S.C., who is assigned to the Marine Barracks in Washington. He is an expert in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense who helped plan for the Obama's first inauguration and each of his State of the Union addresses.
Army Staff Sgt. Keesha Dentino has been chosen to dance with Vice President Joe Biden. The Homestead, Fla., native is a military police officer who currently serves in Fort Myer, Va., as a patrol explosives detection dog handler.
Jill Biden's partner is Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Patrick Figueroa, a Fort Worth, Texas, native who enlisted as a hospital corpsman. Figueroa is assigned to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

Does anyone else have this problem? You've made some changes to one of your start-up emacs files. Then you fire up a new instance of emacs to check if your new feature works. However, none of your changes seem to have made a difference. So you spend some time looking into what you did wrong. And finally you realise – Emacs loads compiled emacs-lisp code in preference to uncompiled code, even when the uncompiled code is newer.
True story – this has happened to me more than a couple of times. The
fifth second time I decided to fix it. I've come up with a solution that I'm fairly happy with: Emacs is started from a script called
run_emacs.sh that runs another script called
compile.sh (I've done it this way so I can run compile.sh independently).
#!/bin/sh $HOME/emacs-files/compile.sh emacs $*
compile.sh calls
#!/bin/sh cd $HOME/emacs-files emacs --batch \ --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name \"~/emacs-files\"))" \ --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name \"~/emacs-files/org-xxx\"))" \ --eval "(batch-byte-compile-if-not-done)" *.el
And last but not least I alias emacs to
$ alias emacs='$HOME/emacs-files/run_emacs.sh'

LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) — A northern Colorado wildfire 60 miles away wrapped Denver in a pungent cloud of smoke for several hours Tuesday and complicated the aerial offensive against the spreading mountain blaze, which has killed one person and destroyed more than 100 structures.
In southern New Mexico, a 56-square-mile wildfire threatening the village of Ruidoso damaged or destroyed at least 224 homes and cabins, and that number was expected to increase. Lincoln County workers found only heaps of burned metal and other debris on home sites hit hardest by the Little Bear fire.
"It's truly heartbreaking to see the damage done to this beautiful part of the country," New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said after touring the area.
With at least 19 large fires burning in nine states, President Barack Obama called Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper to assure him that the federal government stood ready to provide personnel, equipment and emergency grants for Colorado and other states battling fire. Obama also tried to reach Martinez, but her office said poor reception in the fire zone kept the two from connecting.
The 68-square-mile High Park Fire in Colorado shrouded downtown Denver, some 60 miles south, in a smoky haze early Tuesday. The smoke temporarily grounded the air attack on the fire, but helicopters and tanker planes took to the skies by midday. The fire was 10 percent contained Tuesday.
Larimer County authorities allowed some residents to return home but issued 25 more evacuation notices in the fire zone.
The wildfires in the drought-stricken West have tested federal resources.
U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell announced late Monday the agency was contracting eight heavy air tankers to increase the aging national fleet to 17.
Still, Colo. U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet urged President Barack Obama to sign a bill that would allow the Forest Service to buy as many as seven large air tankers outright. The U.S. House and Senate passed the bill last week.
In Colorado's Larimer County, authorities and family said Linda Steadman, 62, perished inside her mountain cabin. Her home received two evacuation warnings that weren't answered, and a firefighter tried to reach the cabin before fire overtook the site, Sheriff Justin Smith said.
Across the West:
—California: A wildfire that briefly threatened homes in Kern County was fully contained.
—Colorado: The 68-square-mile High Park Fire is 5 percent contained. As many as 800 firefighters are expected on the lines by Wednesday. Ten air tankers and 14 water dropping helicopters are attacking the blaze.
—New Mexico: Nearly 1,000 firefighters and more than 200 National Guardsmen are battling the 56-square-mile Little Bear fire. Containment is 30 percent. More than 500 firefighters bolstered lines around the Gila fire, the country's largest at 438 square miles.
—Utah: Two wildfires blackened 4,000 acres in Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. A third fire believed to have been sparked by target shooting near Centerville, 15 miles north of Salt Lake City, was quickly contained late Monday.
—Wyoming: A 4-square-mile blaze at Guernsey State Park is 80 percent contained. Six helicopters and 600 firefighters are deployed. Firefighters contained 95 percent of a 13-square-mile fire in Medicine Bow National Forest and completely contained a 1,700-acre fire in Weston County.

While being interviewed on the Today Programme this morning, Martin Wheatley proved that he was going to be no more effectual as a lead regulator than any of his spineless predecessors.
He was being quizzed about the new regime for supervising the LIBOR market (about which see below), but at the very end of the piece, he was asked whether he would like to see banksters who engage in antics such as the mis-selling of PPI insurance, prosecuted and sent to jail. His answer was that such people were made to pay the money back, but he demurred when it was pointed out that thieves in other sectors who stole money were not only required to pay it back but went to prison as well.
His answer was that the word 'thieves' was a strong term, and that in their (FCA's view) misselling was, and I quote; '...inappropriate conduct which was a long way short of fraud...'
How can we possibly have any faith in a man to regulate one of the most criminogenic markets in the world, when he manifestly demonstrates that he understands so little about the criminal law, or the public attitude towards the organised criminal cess-pit that is the UK financial sector?
This is exactly the same kind of twitchy, lily-livered, fearful attitude towards penalising city crime that has bedevilled the regulation of our financial markets in the past; and which has made the Square Mile a byword for every kind of skulduggery, thievery, fraud, money laundering, institutionalised tax evasion, and general cut-purse activity.
It is exactly this kind of pathetic approach towards financial wrong-doing that is ensuring that the American regulators do not trust us, and who are increasingly being forced back on their own resources to go after the global criminals who find such an easy home in London.
For the record, Mr Wheatley, any mis-selling activity is nothing less than institutionalised fraud at its widest scale. That is why this kind of inflated criminality had to be called 'mis-selling' in the first place because the Government just did not have the moral courage to call it by its real name, 'criminal fraud', for fear of what such a description would do the future of the London market.
When an industry sector is forced to set aside in excess of £10 billion to recompense victims of such crimes, you can hardly call this simply 'inappropriate conduct'! In these few short words, Wheatley, you sent a loud message this morning to every bankster, con-man, huckster and snake-oil salesman that under your regime, it's business as usual. You gave every single one of them a 'get out of jail card free' and none of them will have any illusions but that they are free to carry on defrauding ordinary people out of money they can ill afford to lose on some frolic dreamt up by the organised mafias and criminals who run Britain's banks.
The whole interview this morning with Wheatley was an exercise in the 'same old, same old'! It contained all the tried and trusted shibboleths, it talked about the need for new processes and procedures to help regulate the LIBOR market. It talked about the importance of the LIBOR structure and what needed to happen to make sure it was never abused again.
The interviewer repeatedly tried to get Wheatley to focus on the question of using the criminal law to bring pressure on the bad guys, and to contemplate using prison as a real deterrent.
Wheatley squirmed, he wriggled, he demurred and he obfuscated. He tried to avoid answering the questions about prison sentences. Eventually, grudgingly, he agreed that prison might be a suitable option for sentencing, but a long way after fining and banning from the industry, and then only in the cases of what he called 'extreme fraud'!
Quite what this man thinks manipulating the LIBOR market is and has been for so many years is, if it isn't extreme fraud, I am not certain. How much more extreme does it have to become? He admits that LIBOR is very important as a price setting mechanism, he admits its outcomes have impacts on many areas of financial standards, but for some reason, he is not prepared to see that this activity might fall within the area of 'extreme fraud'
Then why does he think the SFO are conducting an investigation if such activity is not extreme fraud?
He clearly does not understand that the only way to regulate a financial market in a way that the hucksters and lob-lolly men who abuse it really fear, is to make them understand that if they break the criminal law, they will be arrested, charged and tried at the Central Criminal Court.
On one issue, Wheatley is quite clear. He doesn't want to have any responsibility at all for supervising the control of the new LIBOR regime. Oh that doesn't mean he hasn't got all kinds of plans and schemes for it, lots of good bureaucratic plans are afoot. This is what Wheatley himself has said about it;
"...Firstly, reforming the current framework for setting and governing Libor. This will include how banks submit data, and whether actual trade data can be used to set the reference rate; the governance of Libor; and whether the setting of Libor should be brought into statutory regulation.
We will also look at alternative rate-setting processes and the financial stability consequences of a move to a new regime and, how a transition might be appropriately managed.
The second area we'll look at how we work out the best way to tackle abuse. This will consider the scope of the UK authorities' civil and criminal sanctioning powers to deal with the type of misconduct we've seen. We'll also look at whether individual persons in banks with a role in Libor setting should be subject to prior approval by the regulator.
And finally, we'll look at other areas where price-setting mechanisms are used in financial markets and whether we need to make policy changes. We'll make provisional recommendations designed to inform the work on benchmark reform being considered globally..."
Well, that's alright then! Lots of good processes and procedures there to get teeth into. But who is going to oversee it all? Not the BBA that's for sure, and this is probably a good thing. The BBA in recent years has been little more than the talking shop for the various banks' interests, a lobbying group, bought and paid for by its members.
On Radio 4 this morning, Wheatly said he hoped that someone would step forward to want to oversee the new LIBOR structure. Asked why the FCA was not the right agency, and you could almost feel his anxiety to dispel that suggestion right away.
No, he said, we are regulators, not market practitioners. He wants to oversee the actions of others, but just as with his predecessors in title, he doesn't want to have any responsibility for ensuring that the new structure works properly. He will say how it should work but he doesn't want to be placed in direct charge of it.
Of course not, that way he might end up being judged on his effectiveness as a regulator and that would never do, because the public might think he wasn't up to the job if he failed in some way!
Just like the SIB and the FSA, the new FCA doesn't want to be given any responsibilities by which it can be measured by empirical standards. This is the prerogative of the whore, power, but without any responsibiity!
Listening to Wheatley this morning, I experienced the same sinking feeling that I used to experience when I heard Hector Sants telling the financial markets to be very afraid of him, or when I heard Adair Turner turning a simple explanation into three paragraphs of complex gobbledegook!
The fact is that we are back to square one again, with a regulator that has no desire to be held responsible for its actions; which cannot understand why stealing people's hard-earned money is not a crime when it is done by a bank; which has no stomach for using criminal sanctions to put errant executives behind bars; and which wants to do a lot of talking and liaising and exchanging information, and travelling to foreign conferences, but absolutely sweet fuck all about putting the bad bastards who have given the London market the cess-pit reputation it has acquired, in jail. God help us all!

Fusion restaurants can be touch and go. While it may sound like a good idea to mix diner food with Indonesian cuisine, amazingly, it doesn't always work. However, fusion restaurants do offer us New Yorkers with some truly adventurous cuisine, and it seems to be a trend thats hanging around for a little while. So, while I wouldn't recommend trying the Mexican sashimi pierogies, here are some fusion restaurants I would recommend.
1) Natsumi (Japanese/Italian): If you're going to be hitting the theater district, maybe try something a little different before the show. Using olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sushi, chef Konagaya isn't afraid to bring the big boot to the islands.
2) Public (Australian/Indian/Asian): While in the cramped side streets Nolita, there are plenty of fancy places to eat. However, most of them probably don't have Australian cuisine mixed with Indian spices. Brad Farmerie got his culinary training in London, but decided to go even further abroad when putting together his menu. If you know a place that serves a better cut of New Zealand venison, then you, my friend, are a seasoned New York diner.
3) Talde (Asian-American): Are you a fan of Top Chef? Looking for something to eat? Watch out for Dale Talde's unique take on Asian fusion. Bringing pretzel pork to chive dumplings and bacon to pad thai, Talde doesn't mind bringing a little fusion flavor to Park Slope.
4) Ugly Kitchen (Korean/Argentinian): You have to give the guys at Ugly Kitchen credit for picking that name. Despite their opinions, the decor does not detract from the menu. If you like your dumplings fried and your rib-eye ugly, then you'll be right at home in this East Village eatery. Also, the restaurant transitions into a lounge in the evening, so you get to hang out after indulging in the globetrotting menu to sample the cocktails.

Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.
Our community.
Kickstarter is an enormous global community built around creativity and creative projects. Over 10 million people, from every continent on earth, have backed a Kickstarter project.
Some of those projects come from influential artists like De La Soul or Marina Abramović. Most come from amazing creative people you probably haven't heard of — from Grandma Pearl to indie filmmakers to the band down the street.
Every artist, filmmaker, designer, developer, and creator on Kickstarter has complete creative control over their work — and the opportunity to share it with a vibrant community of backers.
Our mission.
We built Kickstarter to help bring creative projects to life. We measure our success as a company by how well we achieve that mission, not by the size of our profits. That's why, in 2015, we became a Benefit Corporation. Benefit Corporations are for-profit companies that are obligated to consider the impact of their decisions on society, not only shareholders. Radically, positive impact on society becomes part of a Benefit Corporation's legally defined goals.
When we became a Benefit Corporation, we amended our corporate charter to lay out specific goals and commitments to arts and culture, making our values core to our operations, fighting inequality, and helping creative projects come to life. You can read our commitments in full below.See our charter
Our team.
We're an independent, founder-controlled company of 153 people working together in an old pencil factory in New York City. We spend our time designing and building Kickstarter, connecting people around inspiring creative projects, and having a lot of fun doing it.
We're developers, designers, support specialists, writers, musicians, painters, poets, gamers, robot-builders — you name it. Between us, we've backed more than 34,000 projects (and launched plenty of our own).Meet the team Join us
Our history.
Kickstarter launched on April 28, 2009. A lot has happened since.
We had the craziest 24 hours ever. We saw $1 billion get pledged. We shared the early designs behind Kickstarter. We learned what a Kickstarter project looked like back in 1713. We talked about why Kickstarter matters. We made some important changes to how we govern the site. We put on film festivals in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. A project won an Oscar. And after five years, we made a video about it all.
as told by founder Perry Chen
The fact that the potential audience had no say in this decision stuck uncomfortably in my brain. I thought: "What if people could go to a site and pledge to buy tickets for a show? And if enough money was pledged they would be charged and the show would happen. If not, it wouldn't."
I loved the idea, but I was focused on making music, not starting an internet company. Yet slowly over the next few years I started to work on the idea more and more. In the spring of 2005 I moved back home to NYC, knowing it would be much more possible there.
Once back in New York, I started to try and tackle the next steps: Who could build the website? How much it would cost? Where could I get money? I talked to a bunch of folks and I learned a ton. I planned and planned.
In the fall of 2005, I met Yancey Strickler, and we became fast friends. Yancey soon joined me in brainstorming. We bought a whiteboard. We had big dreams. I convinced some friends to give us a little bit of money. At some point I made this rough design of the site. Clearly we needed more help.
About a year later, I was introduced to Charles Adler, through an old friend. The day after we were introduced, Charles came over to my apartment and he and I started working together almost every day. After months and months of collaboration, we ended up with wireframes and specifications for the site.
But none of us could code. We had a few false starts hiring people to build the site. There were months where not much happened. Charles moved to San Francisco and took some part-time freelance work. Yancey was still at his day job. We had this money from our friends and not much was happening. It was emotionally draining.
In the summer of 2008 things finally started to move again. I was introduced to Andy Baio, who, though he was living in Portland, started to help us out. Soon after, Charles and Andy found a few developers — including Lance Ivy all the way in Walla Walla, Washington. We were a scattered team that lived through Skype and email (Charles had moved again, this time to Chicago), but we were finally building — even as the economy started to collapse.
Finally, on April 28, 2009, we launched Kickstarter to the public. We told as many friends as possible, and Andy announced it on his awesome blog Waxy.org. Projects trickled in. Yancey jumped into gear to handle all the new emails from people actually using (or wanting to use) Kickstarter. It was amazing! You cannot imagine how excited we all were.
There are so many projects that defined the early days. Designing Obama, Robin Writes a Book, and Mysterious Letters were all landmarks. Filmmakers took their natural-born hustle and wrapped it around our template. People stepped up to support projects over and over again. It was thrilling. And then one day we even had an office. In January 2010, nine months after we launched, we moved into a tenement building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan along with Cassie Marketos and Fred Benenson, our two new teammates.
But before all that, three weeks after Kickstarter launched, a young singer-songwriter from Athens, GA, launched a project to fund her album, Allison Weiss was Right All Along. Allison was using Kickstarter in the exact way we had always dreamed. Her album was funded in one day. She did a Skype chat with the backer that put her over her goal and posted it for all to see. This was the moment Kickstarter was truly alive."

(3.125 lb/ft) of peak torque, and 2,710 to 16,305 rpm, with ultra-smooth velocity and virtually no eddy current or hysteresis losses. Medium and large ThinGap motors using similar concepts are available up to 50 lb/ft peak torque and 6,000 rpm.
ThinGap, based in Ventura, CA, has designed the motors without magnet wire windings, with no measurable cogging and a high peak torque-to-continuous torque ratio. Precision etched copper sheets are laminated into a free-standing, lightweight, composite coil, about 3 mm thick, without iron backing.
Open-frame construction combines with the inner and outer rotating irons to allow designers wide latitude in mechanical integration with the surrounding mechanism. Customers can fabricate and install custom shafts, solid or hollow, for inside or outside the rotor.
The design allows free air to flow on both sides of the coil. Cooling and torque increase at higher rpm. Without magnetic saturation, continuous torque is only limited by cooling. Active cooling can extend safe operating ambient current (SOAC) to higher torque levels, the company said.

|Old Ironsides at dock in the Charlestown Navy Yard, near Boston
The USS Constitution was launched on 21 October 1797 from Hartt's Shipyard in Boston, Massachusetts.
In researching my 4x great grandmother, Catherine Plummer Jones (1799-1828), I learned that her sister Agnes (1816 -1890) married William N. Hart (1812- 1878) on 5 November 1837 in Boston. The Joneses and Harts all lived in Boston's North End, and are buried in Copp's Hill Burial Ground. Edmund Hartt, a distant relative and the owner of Hartt's Shipyard, is also buried at Copp's Hill. He built the USS Boston, the USS Argus and the USS Independence. Most of the relatives in this branch of my family were mariners, ships carpenters, sailmakers, ropemakers or from other sea faring occupations.
The USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) was designed by Joshua Humphrey and built out of pine and southern live oak. Her name was chosen by President George Washington. During the War of 1812 she earned her famous nickname "Old Ironsides" when British soldiers swore they saw cannon balls bounce from her sides. In this era wooden warships were expected to last about fifteen years. In 1830 an article in the Boston newspaper Advertiser erroneously gossiped that she was about to scrapped, which began a letter writing campaign to save her. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote his famous poem "Old Ironsides" during this time. The Constitution was saved, and her sister ship Congress was scrapped.
|Your tour guide is a US Navy crew member

During the Civil War the USS Constitution was saved by the Union Navy and towed to New York City from Annapolis, where it was feared she would fall into the hands of the South. See this link for that story: http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2011/04/old-ironsides-during-civil-war.html. Again, by 1900 her fate was up in the air as it was suggested she be used for target practice and sunk. Protests led to another restoration in 1906, and then she began to serve as a museum ship in the Charlestown Navy Yard. She was restored in 1925, and reconstructed in 1995 and 2010. The USS Constitution is still a commissioned warship of the US Navy, and will participate in a re-enactment of the famous battle versus the HMS Guerriere for the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.

Pete Willcox, who (at the time of this writing) has just been refused bail and remains alone in a Russian jail cell, was my skipper on board the first Rainbow Warrior in 1984.
As a crew we spent five months in a hellhole boat yard in Florida turning the "Warrior" from a motor boat into a sailing boat and she turned really beautifully. Pete had grown up in sailing boats and being at sea was second nature to him, so taking the lead on such a big project for Greenpeace was a perfect fit. He was all over every aspect of the changes that were made. I remember on our sail across the Atlantic sitting at a sail sewing machine strapped to the deck in the middle of the night making adjustments to a torn sail, him on one side of the machine and me on the other. He was thorough, ever present, and like a radar when it came to fine tuning this magnificent campaigning ship that we had 'built'.
The Warrior's first big job was relocating 350 people of the Rongelap community in the Marshall Islands away from their radioactive home atoll to a safe island 100 miles away. Their island had been badly contaminated by radioactive fallout from US nuclear testing there in the 1950s. We made three trips backwards and forwards between their home island and their new home, packed to the gunnels with people and their belongings. We were in and out of lagoons, through tiny passages and around coral reefs, much of which was uncharted, navigating with people up the mast and lead soundings off the bow, and it all happened without a hitch as if Pete had done this "bus run" every day for years. The "Warrior" was a big sailing boat for such delicate terrain and Pete remained the very cool, calm skipper that he is through it all.
He was the same when the French secret service bombed our beloved ship in Auckland harbour in the middle of the night in 1985, while most of us were asleep on board. We were preparing to go with a protest flotilla of sailing boats to French Polynesia where the French were conducting nuclear tests. Moments after the first bomb on the ship's hull went off at 10 to midnight, Pete was out of his bunk calling 'abandon ship.' It was an extraordinarily tough time that followed, particularly because we lost fellow crew member Fernando Pereira that night. He drowned when the second bomb went off at the stern.
Pete respects and understands well the personal commitment and risk that anyone of us knowingly makes when sailing aboard a Greenpeace ship. He has done it time and again. He believes our actions have to count, that's the point. After the bombing of the "Warrior" he quickly signed on as crew on one of the small sailing boats and did go to French Polynesia to protest the French nuclear testing programme, because the "Warrior" no longer could.
Hollywood made a movie of the Warrior bombing and the French government's role in ordering it. Pete was the hero in the story. It was a terrible movie, but Oscar winner Jon Voight did a great job of playing Pete and tried hard to get script changes so the movie was a better reflection of what really happened.
I always thought the French authorities failed in their mission not because they got caught but because they did not understand what makes Greenpeace work, what makes people believe in Greenpeace. Ultimately it is people like Pete that make Greenpeace what it is. Whether on the deck of the Warrior or sitting in a Russian jail he represents what people the world over believe in.
Pete has sailed to both ends of the earth and many times around the middle to peacefully and courageously protect what makes life on this little planet possible for all of us. He has done this whilst raising two daughters. He is truly our Captain Fantastic.

Bunny, what a coincident...
...but first of all: here at Greenpeace International we have agreed on stopping nostalgie and live in the presence.
By the way, I am still wondering what 'climbing vertical swamps in the subbies' means?
I assume it is not dirty, correcr? Just asking, swamps are wet...
Talking abou CAPTAIN Wilcox - I learned more about him.
QUESTION: what is his professional background? Other than Skipper Stewart and Skipper Nicholls he does not seem to be a FISHERMAN...so: WHAT ELSE IS HE.
To me it seems to be similar to
Sorry having to go back into nostalgie...
Sun Wu, godfather of the Rainbow Warrior III
PS: I am not a fisherman nor a skipper of pleasure crafts, therefor completely unqualified for work at Greenpeace International...
...I am just a captain (unlimited) and hold a degree in economics of shipping - the dirtiest industrie in the world (believe me, coal is a green fuel according to our standarts)
PPS: Bunny, I remember quite well having told the head of ship's unit from Greenpeace International SKYSAILS to be a marketingtool for financing ships when being in Amsterdam in 2008.
I made quite clear that Skysails was nothing else but a GREEN media-set up
You don't believe what happened in 2011!
In 2011 the fisherman Joel Stewart told me Greenpeace had been thinking of equipping a ship with Skysails while he was crying to be protected by the Fassmer Security (from me :)
Just talking about qualifications...sorry for not beeing a fisherman.
PPS: the MV Laodicea (ex Enterprise) is currently carring weapons from Ukraine to Syria for at least two years. Weapons given to Assad by his buddy Vladimir P, know to be 'dear Mr. President'
The Laodicea (ex Beluga Enterprise) is cheapest Chinese shipbuilding found on the market...
...and has originally been financed pretending to save the climate (SKYSAILS)
PPPS: the green Beluga Shipping company in 2004 - very interesting for investors to finance 70 ships!!!
PPPPS: I apply to become the next CEO of Greenpeace International - just mentioning in case there will be a vacancy soon.

talking about CAPTAINS...
The ex Beluga Enterprise (now MV Laodicea) was sold to Syrian government (2008?) when it came clear it wouldn't have made 5years-classification because of cracks in the base of main-engine.
The Beluga Enterprise had been hit by a big wave from a storm far down in the Southern Ocean while driving around the 'English Narrow' in the channels of Patagonia 300 miles away from Cap Horn.
How do I know?
I was the one on the bridge taking care of a lost-captain fantastic...
...and making sure the Beluga Enterprise made its way through Chilenian Islands during something I might call a storm (and waves).

Hi Gang:
I have a project that's in the planning stages right now.
Wanted to let you know about it.
You've seen those "custom made check designs" from time to time.
Maybe someone wrote you a check that had a sports theme?
Or flowers, animals, nature scenes, etc?
You see these images on the background or the watermark of the check.
OK, I want one with an image of The Fixx.
I am told by the company that produces my checks that they will need me to send them an image via e-mail. Then they will include that image on my next re-order and send me my new checks with that design included.
Before I proceed, do I need anyone's approval/permission to copy an image from the Street Team page and send it on to the check company?
Street Team Staff?
Just let me know.......
And of course the thinking behind this: whenever someone receives a payment from me, they will know who our favorite band is.
So if we are to go ahead with this.....why not spread the word?
Be glad to hear your input.

Friday night will be a celebration of women in comedy in Philadelphia. Broad Comedy is the City Spotlight's showcase of stand-up, sketch, improv and storytelling from some of Philly's funniest females. We caught up with Mary Radzinski to ask her about the show, her comedy, and attitudes about women in comedy.
First off, Women doing Comedy, what is up with that? I know. It's like, I'm hungry. Quit horsing around and make me a sandwich.
Obviously, my first question is a joke…what are your feelings about those kinds of attitudes that look at "female comedy" as a thing unto itself. I think it's a limited view by limited people, but I sort of understand it. Comedy, like many things, has been male dominated. It's a numbers game. As more and more women are becoming comedians, bringing hilarity to audiences of both men and women, hopefully "female comedian" will eventually become "comedian".
Do you plan on introducing every act with a wink and a "this next performer's a lady" line or any special variation on that time honored tradition – or would answering that be giving too much away. I'm actually not hosting the show, so it won't really be up to me, but I assume there will be some poking fun at that. The introductions of female comics is of great amusement to me. I was introduced once as, "having a vagina". As this is factually correct, I couldn't argue with the host, however, I would have been more impressed if he had used "labia minora". It's annoying to me that this is how some comics get laughs and perpetuate a stereotype. Be smarter. Aim higher. Talk about our tits.
How do you feel about articles like this one from Fox News that say things like this – "For women, frump isn't funny any longer. The new female comedian has to be the sexual aggressor, sexually provocative, dominant and successful…" and "Rosie O'Donnell and Janeane Garofalo will be relegated to playing the female versions of Chris Farley. Hollywood doesn't want a woman that is not sexually enticing like Rosie; it wants the sexual alpha female…" Whatevs. Frump will always be funny. Frump is typically what nurtures the development of funny. Hollywood will always have it's eye on sexy; sex sells. Writing funny scripts for pretty actors will never get old. I recently saw Jennifer Anniston on Inside the Actor's Studio. During the interview she had the personality of an elderly chimp. Referencing Anna Faris as a face of female comedy is a jab at the more than likely frumpy person who wrote her most recent comedic script. There are no absolutes. Would it help your career to be beautiful, sexy, and hilarious? Of course. Necessary? Nah.
Where does your personal style as a comedian come from? I really try to be myself on stage. I'm not a very high energy person offstage, and this translates. I'm not entirely deadpan in my everyday life either, so I've been working on that as well. This has, and continues to be, my biggest challenge.
Your show is going to be a mix of styles of comedy, it's going to have some stand-up, improv, sketch, and storytelling – traditionally these have been kept apart – do you see a growing trend in bringing them all together on one bill? I'm not sure I see a growing trend in doing this, but we wanted to represent different areas of Philly's comedy scene. We were given the title, "Broad Comedy" as part of Sketchfest, so we thought we'd incorporate a "broad spectrum" idea into it to, through different types of comedy. I do think the variety jazzes it up for the audience.
Has running your own weekly open mic and booking shows given you any new insights or perspectives on comedy? Do you have any words of advice for someone looking to start their own show? It has definitely been insightful regarding the amount of work that goes into even an open mic. It's not easy to please everyone but it's a goal to keep trying. Words of advice: Get on stage every week and do time. Host to a room of a hundred (even if there are 5 people and they are all comics). Have fun and act like it.
You're somewhat of a Twitter aficionado – do your best job of summing up and promoting Broad Comedy in 140 characters or less. Broad Comedy.Friday,October 21st. Shakespeare Theater. 8pm.Broads doing comedy. Broadly. Like their broad mothers taught them. Come watch.
Broad Comedy is part of the first annual City Spotlight at the Philadelphia Shakespeare Theater (2111 Sansom St.) Friday night at 8:00PM. Tickets can be purchased online.

I am talking about functional pieces: plates, salad plates, small and big bowls and mugs. Also, how do they usually make the mug handles?? When I make a handle, it takes me forever!!!

Do you mean the word 'stress'?

Do you mean the word 'stress'?
Or are you trying to ask about the stress of finding the right words?
The British Council website have just published a nice quiz for teaching word stress patterns.
BBC | British Council teaching English - Downloads
And there's a short article to help understand what word stress patterns are at the same site, on this page
BBC | British Council teaching English - Pronunciation - Word stress
Hope this is useful, Apex2000 and black cat!

Well, fancy that! That has always been known as putting the stress on the syllables! For my purposes word stress is putting the stress on a particular word in a sentence.
I would argue that the site you pointed me to can lead to more confusion. What is wrong with 'syllable'?
Ours not to reason why. I think the British Council know what they are talking about. They are some of the world's leading experts in teaching English, after all.
In most text books and reference works, 'word stress' is used to talk about the stress patterns within an individual word. (banana, television) - as you say, apex2000, some teachers just call this underlining the stressed syllable.
'Sentence stress' is used to talk about the stress patterns within a whole sentence or phrase (I can walk but I can't run.'). It's a harder thing to teach than word stress, because the stressed words in a sentence can change according to what the speaker wants to say.
For teaching word stress in the classroom, I think it's worth getting students into the habit of everytime they meet a new word, recording where the stressed syllables fall. Dedicating whole lessons to the area often just depresses and confuses classes, so just do little and often.

I would not put too much reliance upon any government department or quango to get it right. They always assume that they are right if only because they are there!! If they really were so expert there would not be any need for anyone else to bother.
I bet they've never heard of Fowler.
It raises a curious point - just who do they teach? Wherever I have been around the world I have never heard the name mentioned, in relation to teaching English, but they always crop up around business and economics discussions which is where I would expect them to be.
The British Council are a professional and highly regarded body of English teachers with excellent schools in many major cities. They pay higher than other language schools, treat their teachers with respect and take their professionalism extremely seriously. I don't work for them, and I never have, but in English language teaching circles they are considered to be at the forefront of innovative and well researched methodology and teaching practices.
If you want to know more about them, have a look at their homepage, associated with the BBC's teaching site.

Ah yes. The body that was formed as an organ for international propaganda? Cultural imperialism or just a gentle almost unnoticed invasion? Selling UK Ltd?
It is, of course, all these things and whilst I do not doubt that it employs teachers of English - which has been an important outcome in helping English to become the lingua franca in so many areas around the world - it covers a very much wider range of objectives, especially since its nadir after the Berrill Report. I can now remember Callaghan talking about it when he used his usual dismissive smile as if to suggest that it was not really worthy of his (political) time. Fortunately, he was wrong on that as in so much else.
I can understand your viewpoint, being in teaching yourself at present, but as one who has seen a bit more than just teaching and English in particular, plus going back to WW2, I still maintain what I believe to be a healthy scepticism about the activities of many of these public bodies.
They are still a useful body of people, and I think one must allow that they provide support and advice to many.
Personal prejudice is best kept to oneself.
Is this diatribe useful for learners of English? Maybe not.

Henri Termeer was one of the first of a pioneering group of business executives who built a disparate group of fledgling companies into a biotech industry that has driven decades of therapeutic innovation. During a 28-year career at Genzyme, including 26 years as CEO, he created a process of drug development that for the first time was patient-centered. He also helped forge biotech's public policy agenda and inspired a generation of entrepreneurs to take on large and important challenges. An extraordinary number of today's biotech leaders were directly mentored by Termeer. His own leadership was iconoclastic: He broke rules and took risks, setting ambitious goals and finding novel ways to reach them. In doing so he transformed an industry and brought hope to patients with a range of diseases previously deemed too rare to justify the investment needed to support the development of specific therapies. In Conscience and Courage, John Hawkins, an insightful analyst of healthcare leaders, reveals the philosophy, principles, methods, and habits of a prominent and successful CEO who defied convention to create an investor-owned global enterprise that put people before profits and improved the lives of thousands of forgotten patients.
Advanced praise:
"Without Henri Termeer, patients with rare diseases would have no hope for new medicines. This authoritative book brings home the highs and the lows of Henri's crusade for rare disease patients and families everywhere. For anyone who really wants to know what 'patient-centric' means, this one's a must-read."
—John Maraganore, CEO, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
"Henri Termeer, through his relentless commitment to patients, created a winning global company and unleashed the era of transformative medicines for rare disease. His astonishing business acumen is only surpassed by his humanity-care for individual patients, his colleagues, his family, and his friends. John Hawkins masterfully captures the incredible business story as well as the amazing essence of the man."
—Deborah Dunsire, MD, President & CEO, H. Lundbeck A/S
"Henri Termeer led a remarkable life. By pioneering the treatment of rare diseases, he transformed the lives of many forgotten patients and families. John Hawkins' account captures this passion and purpose beautifully."
—Robbie Huffines, Global Chairman, Investment Banking, JP Morgan & Co.
"Henri Termeer was a pioneer of the biotechnology industry, combining an astute business mind with a deep passion and empathy for patients and their families. He shaped, almost out of whole cloth, a company that would shine a light on the path to better medicines to an historically underrepresented group of patients and, in so doing, built Genzyme into a formidable enterprise. John Hawkins tells this story with insight, wit, and warmth, painting an indelible portrait of a remarkable man."
—Vicki L. Sato, PhD, Chairman, Denali Therapeutics
"Henri Termeer was among the most talented entrepreneurs I have encountered in my career. His drive, determination, and especially his strategic vision profoundly impacted not only Genzyme, but also the evolution of the biotechnology industry and the development of innovative, new drugs for rare disease patients worldwide. Henri was also a true business statesman in both Boston and the Region who contributed to the prosperity Massachusetts has achieved. John Hawkins' book captures the richness, depth and complexity of Henri's life story and his many contributions. His deep research and colorful writing make this a great read."
—Professor Michael Porter, University Professor, Harvard Business School
"If any leader ever took risks and founded a humanitarian movement, it was Henri Termeer. A thoughtful man driven by what many viewed as an impossible-to-achieve vision, he recruited and encouraged other leaders, many of whom formed new companies, to push on a frontier that he knew was much bigger than he alone could conquer. This is a wonderful, inspirational book which brilliantly describes the high character of an underappreciated, modern-day hero, a man who has improved, and in some cases saved, the lives of millions who will never know his name."
—Professor Carl J. Schramm, Former President of The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Seven-times Author, including Burn the Business Plan
"The prospects for children born with genetic diseases today are vastly different than they were before Henri Termeer defied convention to build Genzyme. John Hawkins has brought Henri vividly to life on the pages of this book. This is sure to be an inspirational read for anyone interested in understanding how Termeer took such a courageous path to transform the outlook for rare disease patients, giving hope to millions."
—James Geraghty, Former Genzyme Executive and Chairman, Orchard Therapeutics
