Johannes BrahmsBorn 7 May 1833. Died 3 April 1897
Johannes Brahms Biography (Wikipedia)
Johannes Brahms (7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna. His reputation and status as a composer are such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.
Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, and voice and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire. An uncompromising perfectionist, Brahms destroyed some of his works and left others unpublished.
Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator. His music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters. While many contemporaries found his music too academic, his contribution and craftsmanship have been admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar. The diligent, highly constructed nature of Brahms's works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers. Embedded within his meticulous structures, however, are deeply romantic motifs.

Ayers is a dynamic speaker, and one of the most important moments for me came when Mr. Ayers spoke about connecting activist movements. He is most famous (or infamous) for his work within the anti-war movement, but he also talked about his experiences protesting after Prop 8. Mr. Ayers noted how the feminist movement and the environmental movement can connect to the anti-war movement to broaden support for all causes.
I think this is absolutely important, and something both feminists and other groups don't do often enough.
I think of myself as a Marxist, pacifist, feminist, with an emphasis on feminist. I also feel passionately about ending global warming, expanding gay rights, and emphasising immigrant concerns. However, I blog, almost solely about feminism.
The post I wrote about the Texas sheriff was linked in many places in the blogsphere, but one aspect I failed to address was the victim's supposed crime, drug possession. While I feel that drugs should be legalized I didn't go there; I don't think I even remarked upon it. I should have. Drug legalization and the prison industrial complex and feminism are intimately linked, as are feminism and environmentalism, feminism and food, feminism and pacifism, feminism and LGBTQ rights, and feminism and [insert your cause here].
However, another issue within the feminist community is the ostracism we may feel after identifying as feminists. Some groups do not want their causes associated with us. There is still a huge stigma on feminism. Many of my progressive friends still shy away from the label or refuse the association. I urge these causes, whether it be the movement for universal health care in the United States or organizations against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to accept feminism as an important cornerstone of your organizations. The agenda of your group will not be diminished or over taken by feminist concerns, instead your participants and concerns will be broadened to make them more comprehensive and important.
And my sisters and brothers in feminism, we must also expand our agendas beyond the typical women's rights checklist. Fair pay has to do with more than sexist discrimination; it deals with economics, socialism, and the further discrimination suffered by sisters of color. Abortion is tied to racism and environmentalism and radical religion. What a beautiful web we could weave.
Historian activist Howard Zinn addressed specialization within social movements:
"To work on a real problem (such as how to eliminate poverty in a nationI didn't address the charges levied against survivor of the Texas sheriff's assault because I didn't want to complicate the issue within a short blog post, so I categorized it as rape, a man's power over a woman. While it was rape, it was also about drug legalization, and the threatening power of the prison industrial complex. The woman's problem was not accurately addressed, and a prescription for her mistreatment will not come out of a misdiagnoses.
producing $800 billion worth of wealth each year), one would have to follow that
problem across many disciplinary lines without qualm, dealing with historical
materials, economic theories, political problems. Specialization insures that one
cannot follow a problem through from start to finish."
Please, my feminists and fellow activists we need to begin a dialogue between each other. I promise to do better as a blogger. I will ask the more complex questions and explore the deeper power dynamics. I will not be afraid to ask other causes for support or help and be quick to answer their calls for assistance. I urge you to do the same. Feminist blogs need to address other environmental issues. Environmental blogs need to address immigrant issues. Immigrant rights blogs need to address feminism. Ect. Ect. Ect. It will make us each stronger. We have the power.
Si se puede.
Yes we can.

Where's the beef? It's on Wheel of Fortune. That was the big announcement made at the annual Beef Bucks, Inc. Golf Challenge held last month in Brandon, SD, and I was there when Beef Bucks founder Nancy Montross shared the news with the crowd that Wheel contestants can win big with beef! Appearing on the nation's number-one game show is no small potatoes, and I'm proud of this innovative group of South Dakota ranchers who banded together to make this happen.
Thanks to the dauntless efforts of a small band of beef-loving volunteers in South Dakota, lucky Wheel of Fortune contestants may be heading home with Beef Bucks to purchase $1,000 each in T-bones, sirloins and burgers. Beginning Jan. 9, 2012, a prize of $1,000 in Beef Bucks will appear as one of the gift tags on the colorful carnival wheel that contestants spin for prizes during the popular nationally syndicated program. Landing a spot for Beef Bucks on Wheel of Fortune was the result of a huge effort by the people who direct Beef Bucks, Inc., the non-profit South Dakota-based organization whose primary purpose is to promote beef and educate consumers on beef nutrition and cooking.
Bob Montross, Nancy's husband, was the kingpin behind the Beef Bucks effort to land a spot on the game show's prize wheel. And, I don't think I've ever met a more outgoing and tireless promoter of beef and the beef industry than this DeSmet, SD, rancher. "We were pretty excited when we received the call in August from the people at Wheel of Fortune," Bob Montross, who is one of eight Beef Bucks, Inc. directors, told me. "We knew then that we had made the big time because we'll be promoting beef to millions of viewers across the country."
This project was two years in the making, as Montross made countless phone calls and sent hundreds of emails to the Wheel of Fortune producers. The time and energy was worth it, as the Beef Bucks logo will be placed on the large wheel, allowing the chance to win for any contestant who lands on the Beef Bucks tag on up to three separate shows.
To date, Beef Bucks, Inc. has sold more than $1 million worth of beef in 40 states since the organization started in 1997. Learn more about the organization here.
The first show to be aired in January has already been taped, but we'll have to wait until Jan. 9, 2012 to see if any lucky
player gets to take home the $1,000 in Beef Bucks during that first program.
Congratulations to the Beef Bucks, Inc. crew! It's a tremendous accomplishment by a totally volunteer effort! Be sure to mark your calendars and tune into the show when the organization makes its debut on Wheel of Fortune!

On Tuesday, the Dr. Phil Show aired the first of two segments featuring Elaine and Mark Redwine, the parents of 14-year-old Dylan Redwine, who went missing in November from his fathers home in Vallecito.
The interview marks the first time that the Redwines, who are divorced, have spoken to each other in three years.
Elaine Redwine said the whole purpose of her appearing on Dr. Phil was to talk to her ex-husband.
Mark said he agreed to appear in the hopes it would help efforts to find Dylan, and at one point attributed his erstwhile refusal to speak with Elaine to her inability to have a civil conversation with him.
Dylan was reported missing by his father on Nov. 19, 2012, less than a day after Dylan arrived in La Plata County for a court-ordered visitation during Thanksgiving.
In promoting the interview, Dr. Phils team did not dwell on the Redwines anguish as parents searching for their lost child. Instead, the program billed Dylans kidnapping as a national mystery and produced a promo titled Whos to Blame? showing Elaine and Mark trading bitter counter-accusations and Dr. Phil occasionally intervening to encourage the blood sport.
During the televised interview, Elaine repeatedly insisted that Mark had something to do with their sons disappearance, and Mark when he was not on the defensive stated his unsubstantiated but strong belief that his wife was involved.
I believe that his mom could have something to do with this, said Mark, before noting he had no evidence to corroborate this hunch. She was very quick from the beginning to start pointing fingers at me ... theres a possibility that she could be keeping him from me.
In one flurry of recrimination, Elaine told Mark, I know that I dont have Dylan. Where is Dylan? You were the last one to see him ... it was on your watch.
I didnt lose Dylan, Elaine, Mark said.
Then why is he gone?
Thats a question we all have to ask, he said.
No, you have to ask that question. You were the last one to see him. Where is he? she asked.
At the beginning of the program, Dr. Phil told Elaine that he wasnt going to do a hatchet job on her ex-husband.
When Mark later joined the interview, Dr. Phil told the Redwines that he assumed neither parents guilt or innocence in the disappearance of their son, but he did make informed decisions based on skilled observations ... Ive been doing this for 35 years.
Dr. Phil said he was accustomed to typical conduct and what is not, and turned to Mark, saying, I am curious about your interest in fighting with (Elaine) and blaming her, or finding your son. Since youve been out here, you havent said one word about finding your son.
Mark, who had been on stage for about three minutes, clarified that he was lost in the world without Dylan.
Dr. Phil is the highest-rated daytime television show. Tuesdays episode closed with Dr. Phil promising to share today the results of a second polygraph test undertaken by Mark to clear his name.
Dr. Phil promised this one would be conducted by the best in the world. Meanwhile, investigators are hoping that the media exposure will again rivet the publics attention on the case, which despite multiple searches of the area, the efforts of various law-enforcement agencies and a $50,000 reward has grown increasingly cold.
In an official statement, La Plata County Sheriffs Office spokesman Dan Bender wrote that the frustrating part is that we are not much farther along than where we were early on in the investigation because of the total lack of clues left behind.
In an interview, Bender said that while investigators from out of state have been helping the task force follow every tip, not one person had yet been identified as suspect or person of interest during the entire investigation.

On the new Fox comedy series The Mindy Project, premiering on September 25th, follows Mindy Lahiri (The Office's Mindy Kaling) who, despite having a successful career, is unlucky in love and desperately needs to get her personal life back on track before her friends and colleagues are forced to stage an intervention. The show also stars Chris Messina, Ed Weeks, Ike Barinholtz, Stephen Tobolowsky, Anna Camp, Zoe Jarman and Amanda Setton.
While at the Fox portion of the TCA Press Tour, show star/executive producer Mindy Kaling talked about wearing both the actor and producer hats for this series, why she decided to make the character a doctor, her love of romance and the desire to address the damage done by romantic comedies to real relationships, how much her ethnicity will play into the story, whether headlining a series is anything like she imagined it would be, and how she'll be returning to The Office for an episode or two. Check out what she had to say after the jump.
Question: Why did you decide to make this character a doctor? Was that to balance out how messed up the rest of her life is?
MINDY KALING: I picked a doctor because my mother was an OB/GYN, and it was just a job that I had done a lot of research on, accidentally, throughout my life. Weirdly, her hours are really similar to my hours as a writer/performer. I could call her in the middle of the night and she would be awake. She lives in Boston and it seems like we have the same sleep-deprived schedule.
Did you want to address some of the damage done by romantic comedies to real relationships?
KALING: I think that a big, funny part of the series is the characters' expectations of how things should work out. How they actually work out in real life is so much of where the comedy comes from, in this series.
Have you had moments of expectation versus reality, in real life?
KALING: Oh, every day, like seeing that handsome guy and immediately finding out he's gay. One of the things that's funny about Chris Messina's character is that Chris is a handsome-looking guy, and his character on the show doesn't want to be part of that world. He's resisting it.
What made you think of doing this particular show? All of the characters have wonderfully messed-up lives, but are there parts of your life that are as messed-up as hers?
KALING: Well, I'm someone who loves romance. I always have loved it. Most people who grew up as nerds, as I was, surprisingly, have loved romance. On The Office, so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary. In a lot of ways, I think it's a reaction to that because I just wanted to explore love and romance, but with people who are legitimately busy and have busy lives. Especially with women my age, if you have a career, you're thinking, "When is this other side of my life going to click into place?"
How much are you going to play off of the cliches and conventions of a woman who is great at her job, but awful at her personal life?
KALING: Well, it's interesting. There is this cliche of, "Oh, your professional life is fine, but your romantic life isn't." But, that's also really true of me and all my friends. You don't want to not do something that's relatable simply because you're worried that it might be cliche. Also, it's about execution. I have the best writing staff in all of Hollywood, and we have the best, funniest cast. A formula isn't bad, if it's executed at a really high level. In fact, it can be kind of cozy and nice, if the jokes are amazing and the acting is great. I think the character really wants to picture herself as the protagonist in a romantic comedy.
Can you talk about producer hat versus your actor hat, when you're in every scene?
KALING: Well, I won't be in every scene. Part of the reason this cast is so big is that it's great to watch them and go back to the writers' room. That's why we have a pretty awesome, big cast of lots of different characters. And Matt [Warburton], who is showrunning this, is going to be helping out a lot, too.
How did you pull this cast together?
KALING: It's like Ocean's Eleven. It's funny. Some were more traditional casting, but some people we had just been fans of.
Do you feel like this series and your starring role is a culmination of the rise of Indian-American actors on television? Will you talk about ethnicity at all, on the show?
KALING: In terms of my Indianness, I try not to rely on it nor deny it. When it comes up organically in my writing, we can address it. About five years ago, we wrote this episode of The Office, called "Diwali," which seemed like an organic way of using it. It's really exciting, with Danny [Pudi] and Aziz [Ansari] in their shows, and The Good Wife, and things like that. There are lots of Indian actors. I don't think about it all the time. It is a cool time for Indian actors.
What's it like to headline your own show after your time on The Office?
KALING: It's awesome!
Is it everything you imagined it would be?
KALING: Even more! Every day, I wake up and I'm like, "Oh, I'm the star of my own show that has my name in it and I get to write it and hire actors that I've loved for such a long time!" It's amazing! I'm going to turn into a monster. I can't handle it. It's a great job! Getting to do this is really awesome!
What is having a heavily male writing staff going to bring to the topics you'll be covering on the show?
KALING: One of the most exciting things is finding female writers. That is definitely a great energy with the stories that we're telling. We just read scripts. We are looking for people who can write women really well and people who are super funny, and these are the people we found. That said, we are always looking for really funny female writers and writer/performers. That's what we're looking forward to, in the future, when we have more money and can hire more people.
Are you going to have a chance to go back to The Office and get closure, or are they just going to have to have someone explain your character's absence?
KALING: I'm actually headed back for the premiere, which I'm really excited about, and maybe another episode. It's great because I got so attached to that character, even though I have like a line in every episode. It's fun to see what's going to happen to Kelly.
Generally speaking, do you think that the target audience for this show is the same audience that you would get for The Office, or is it different?
KALING: We're hoping for prison inmates and the elderly. We're aiming for everybody. One of the challenges we had, in terms of writing the series, is that we want to make this partially a workplace comedy. There's lots of relatable stuff, in terms of that. I'm hoping that people who've read my book will follow me along in this, and really get to see me have more of a platform and a bigger part. But, one of the things about the show, which I like, is that there's a bunch of dudes in the cast. I love this dude energy that we have here. It's so nice.
As the daughter of a doctor and someone playing a doctor, was there ever a point, when you were little, that you thought that was what you were going to do? Did you dream of being a doctor first, or did you know, early on, that you wanted to do comedy?
KALING: Oh, my parents would have loved for me to have been a doctor, but I was bad at science. And I actually wasn't a theatrical kid. I didn't do plays, or anything. I was largely silent, until I was about 15 or 16 years old. But, I was always a silent comedy nerd. I would stay up late and sneak downstairs to watch Saturday Night Live and Kids in the Hall, and things like that. Very early on, my parents realized that I was not going to be an engineer or a doctor. I just don't have those inclinations, at all.
Very early on, you wrote that satire of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Have you since met Matt Damon and Ben Affleck?
KALING: I've never run into them or met them, in the eight years that I've been out here. Who wouldn't want to meet Matt Damon and Ben Affleck? I'm trying to make Chris [Messina] take me to the Argo premiere, so that I can run into him.
What exactly is The Mindy Project and what is she searching for?
KALING: The really fun thing about this character, which is not unlike Michael Scott (Steve Carell), in some ways, is that she wants to just be a better person. In some ways, she's a great doctor. She's hyper-educated, but wants to be a better catch, a better friend, work out, and actually read books instead of magazines. That's something I also strive to be, a little bit. She tries to be a little bit more intellectual, and I just think that's super-relatable. The project part is this woman who's not 21 or 22, and who's trying to get her life together.
You drop references to Downton Abbey and Hugh Grant, on the show. What is your philosophy on dropping references, and what other references might viewers see, in future episodes?
KALING: I think references, where they fit organically, are great. It's great to do a show that's real and relatable, and so much of what is real, is using real things and instances that are specific. Specificity is the best tool you can have, as a writer. That said, we don't want to overdo it. Mostly, it's Game of Thrones references. My writing staff are just obsessed with Game of Thrones. It might just become a violent, strange show with lots of sex in it. I'm trying to watch it, so I can feel a part of the writers.

UBS reports third quarter net profit of CHF 1,673 million
With third quarter 2003 net profit of CHF 1,673 million, UBS reports its most profitable quarter in three years. Excluding goodwill amortization, net profit was CHF 1,911 million, up 53% from a year earlier and 2% higher than second quarter. Net new money of CHF 20 billion demonstrates substantial competitive gains. Return on equity for the year has risen to almost 20%.
UBS reports net profit of CHF 1,673 million for third quarter 2003. Excluding goodwill amortization, net profit was CHF 1,911 million, up 53% from a year earlier and 2% higher than second quarter.
"It is our most profitable quarter in three years, with performance up in all our businesses compared to last year. We captured revenue opportunities despite volatile markets, particularly in fixed income, while the strong net new money inflow again shows our substantial competitive progress," said Peter Wuffli, Chief Executive Officer.
In third quarter, clients brought CHF 20 billion in net new assets to UBS. In institutional asset management, UBS recorded an inflow of CHF 6.3 billion, the highest since 2000. The wealth management businesses posted total net inflows of CHF 15.1 billion; in the US, UBS reported a very strong inflow of CHF 5.7 billion, again outperforming most peers in the private client market. The European wealth management business put in another outstanding performance, reporting strong net new money of CHF 2.8 billion and a 57% year on year rise in revenues.
Operating income was CHF 8,490 million in third quarter 2003, up 6% from the same period a year earlier, benefiting from improved fee and commission income. Corporate finance fees increased, reflecting a pick-up in corporate activity as well as a strengthening of UBS's competitive position. Asset-based and investment fund fees rose on the recovery in equity markets. Revenues in the Fixed Income, Rates and Currencies business remained very strong, despite turbulent bond markets in the summer, highlighting the broad base of this business. Compared to third quarter 2002, private equity writedowns fell significantly.
Costs remained under tight control and were cut in almost all areas, pushing the overall pre-goodwill cost/income ratio to 72.2%, its lowest level since PaineWebber became part of UBS in 2000. Including goodwill amortization, the cost/income ratio was 75.1%. Total operating expenses fell 6% to CHF 6,353 million, with general and administrative expenses down 17%. Personal expenses fell 1%, because of lower salaries, which reflected a decrease in staff levels.
Headcount, at 66,153 on 30 September 2003, was 4% lower than at the beginning of the year. Lean structures and careful management of resources will continue to be crucial success factors in the financial services industry, and so UBS expects to further streamline processes across the firm and reduce corresponding staff levels.
Both the international and Swiss credit portfolios outperformed, with UBS realizing a net recovery of CHF 26 million in third quarter 2003, compared to a net credit loss expense of CHF 95 million a year ago. This positive development was largely due to a consistent level of recoveries and the small number of new impairments.
Employee stock options - grants in 2003 and strategy for future use
UBS recently reviewed the use of stock options in its compensation schemes and concluded that the targeted use of options as an element of the overall compensation strategy gives employees an appropriate long-term incentive to pursue sustainable share price appreciation. Consequently, UBS will continue to make use of options, but will grant them more selectively than before. From 2004 onwards, options will be used solely to match voluntary investments in UBS shares or as targeted discretionary incentives to top performers who make key contributions to the firm's success. As a result of these changes, the number and value of employee stock options awarded are likely to decrease from current levels for grants made in 2004 and thereafter.
As part of its quarterly results discussion from now on, UBS will disclose the pro-forma expense for option awards, net of tax, which would have been incurred if recorded at fair value. In the first nine months of 2003, this expense was CHF 426 million, down from CHF 658 million for the same period a year ago, with the drop mainly attributable to lower prices for the UBS share at grant. Most employee stock options are awarded in the first half of the year, and significant grants are not expected for the remainder of this year. The final value of options awarded in 2003 will be disclosed in UBS's fourth quarter 2003 report.
Throughout the year, market conditions have fluctuated, with trading opportunities shifting from one area to another. UBS has proven to be well positioned to capture those opportunities at the right times. Its diversified revenue mix - with a stable core of wealth and asset management income - helped contain market-driven volatility. Underlying these fluctuations, however, global economies and market conditions have been gradually improving.
"The stronger and more certain the recovery proves, the more positive the effect on our revenues. Our successful track record in delivering consistently excellent results across different market challenges and environments gives us confidence that UBS will continue to offer first-class shareholder returns," Peter Wuffli said.
Financial ratios as reported
Annualized return on equity for the first nine months of 2003 was 16.9%, compared to 11.8% a year earlier. Basic earnings per share were CHF 1.52 in third quarter, against CHF 0.79 in the same quarter a year earlier. The cost/income ratio was 75.1% in third quarter, against 83.9% in the same quarter a year earlier.
Performance against UBS financial targets
(pre-goodwill and adjusted for significant financial results)
UBS sets its financial targets and evaluates performance in terms of adjusted results, excluding significant financial events* and excluding the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.
On that basis, UBS's performance against financial targets shows:
Annualized return on equity for the first nine months was 19.5% - its highest level since 2000, up from 14.6% in the same period a year ago and close to the top of UBS's target range of 15-20%. The increase reflects improving net profit combined with a lower average level of equity due to continued buyback programs
Basic earnings per share - at their third highest level ever - increased by 66% to CHF 1.73 in third quarter 2003 from CHF 1.04 a year ago, driven by the same factors as return on equity
The cost/income ratio was 72.2% in third quarter 2003, an improvement from 80.1% reported a year earlier. This drop pushes the ratio down to its lowest level since the merger with PaineWebber, with improvements seen in all Business Groups compared to a year ago.
Results from the Business Groups
Wealth Management & Business Banking
Wealth Management's pre-tax profit in third quarter 2003 was CHF 714 million, up 9% from second quarter. Despite the second quarter disposal gains from the sale of a participation in Deutsche Börse, operating income increased on rising fee-based revenues as a result of a higher average asset base and recovering client activity levels. The cost/income ratio improved to 59% this quarter from 62% in second quarter. Before goodwill, the ratio stood at 58% and 61% respectively, reflecting stringent cost control measures. Net new money was CHF 9.4 billion, up from CHF 6.5 billion in the previous quarter. It was the highest quarterly inflow ever recorded, with investments mainly from international clients. The European wealth management business reported excellent inflows of CHF 2.8 billion, bolstered by strong performances in the UK and Germany. For the first nine months of 2003, net new money inflows in this business totaled CHF 9.1 billion, corresponding to an annualized growth rate of 43%.
Business Banking Switzerland achieved another good result in third quarter. Pre-tax profit was CHF 528 million, 9% below the second quarter figure. Ignoring last quarter's divestment gains of around CHF 80 million, underlying profit would have risen from second quarter. Operating income benefited from higher fee income and lower credit loss expense. Operating expenses decreased 2%, reflecting falls in depreciation and personnel expenses.
In Switzerland, UBS's total headcount for all Business Groups on 30 September 2003 was 26,901, down 4% from the beginning of the year. The saturation in Switzerland's market for financial services will continue to present a challenge that will demand the most efficient structures and processes. As productivity gains in domestic banking are primarily achievable by progressively automating processes in support areas, headcount is expected to keep declining at the same rate for the remainder of the year and into 2004.
Global Asset Management
Pre-tax profit for third quarter at Global Asset Management was CHF 87 million, a decrease of 2% from second quarter. Revenues rose on positive market developments and higher performance fees, but they were offset by increased general and administrative as well as personnel expenses, reflecting higher incentive-based compensation.
In the Institutional business, net new money was CHF 6.3 billion, up from CHF 1.1 billion in second quarter with the gain reflecting inflows into alternative investments, equities and asset allocation mandates. In its Wholesale Intermediary fund business, Global Asset Management recorded a net outflow of CHF 1.4 billion, compared to inflows of CHF 1.3 billion in the previous quarter. This was entirely attributable to outflows in money market funds as performance in the core business remained resilient with strong inflows in fixed income mandates.
Investment Bank
The Investment Banking & Securities business unit recorded a pre-tax profit of CHF 965 million, up 35% from a year earlier but 9% lower than the exceptionally strong second quarter. Income was CHF 3,486 million, up 7% from the same quarter last year but down 10% from second quarter 2003. In investment banking, advisory revenues improved significantly from third quarter 2002. Equity finance and clearing revenues increased, and are expected to be further strengthened by the acquisition of ABN AMRO's prime brokerage business, which will take effect in fourth quarter. Client commissions in the Equities business remained robust and were up on third quarter 2002. The Fixed Income, Rates and Currencies business delivered strong results despite market turbulence, with revenues up 30% on a year earlier. This strong result was achieved despite negative revenues of CHF 192 million related to credit default swaps hedging credit exposures in the loan book, compared to a gain of CHF 321 million a year earlier.
Operating expenses in third quarter 2003 were CHF 2,509 million, largely unchanged from a year earlier. Personnel expenses rose 3% as a result of higher incentive-based compensation, although that was partially offset by lower salaries. The cost/income ratio was 72% in third quarter 2003. Excluding goodwill amortization, it was 70%, down from 74% in the same period a year earlier. Headcount fell 4% from the start of the year, reflecting reductions in investment banking and logistics.
Private Equity recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 74 million in third quarter 2003 - a marked improvement from the CHF 418 million loss a year earlier, reflecting significantly lower levels of writedowns. Improving valuations led to an increase in unrealized gains.
Wealth Management USA
Investors in the US were generally optimistic about economic and financial markets in third quarter, although latent concerns about inflation moderated their outlook.
Including acquisition costs (goodwill amortization, net goodwill funding and retention payments), Wealth Management USA's pre-tax loss was CHF 43 million. Excluding acquisition costs and the gain realized in second quarter from the disposal of the CSC clearing business**, pre-tax profit decreased 12% to CHF 170 million from CHF 193 million in second quarter.
Since Wealth Management USA's transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars, the movements of the US dollar against the Swiss franc affect comparisons of its results to prior periods. In US dollar terms, performance before acquisition costs and excluding last quarter's disposal gain was 13% lower than the record US dollar performance achieved in second quarter, which reflects an industry-wide decline in municipal securities activity. In the private clients business, performance remained strong, with recurring fees in US dollar terms at their highest level since PaineWebber became part of UBS. The cost/income ratio was 103% in third quarter. Excluding acquisition costs and the gain from the sale of CSC in second quarter, the ratio increased to 87% in third quarter from 86% in second quarter. The inflow of net new money in third quarter was a strong CHF 5.7 billion, significantly higher than the CHF 3.9 billion reported in second quarter.

10 weeks after t-shirts bearing Nazi insignia were discovered in Walmart, the retailer has yet to remove them from all their stores, despite initial promises to do so within days.
We're going to limit ourselves to weekly roundups from now on.
We rather enjoy Philip's above. Good direction. More wide angle shots. Let's see this shirt in action.
On a related note, if anyone got a shot of a cat sitting on a Walmart Nazi shirt, Meghann said she'll explode with love.
Five submissions this week, inside…
Recent updates to this story.

- "I've been following this story from the beginning, and every time I visited my local WalMart (store #2986), I made a point to search their men's shirts section. They had never had any in stock, until my visit two days ago (January 21, 2007) when I noticed the shirt display had quite a few of the "skull" shirts. I went back to the store the following day (January 22, 2007) with my camera phone and grabbed a shot. From the picture, you can count 12 shirts on the shelf, and the one display shirt.
Just for fun, I grabbed a shirt and headed to the self-checkout line. Sure enough, the shirt didn't scan, and I was informed that an associate would be with me shortly. I continued my purchases when I was approached by the employee running the self-checkout lines. She asked me if I wanted the shirt. I told her it would not ring up. She did some cashier magic, and we were presented with the "SELL NOT ALLOWED" message. She again asked me if I wanted the shirt. I told her that I would. She asked how much it cost, and then saw the price was on the shirt. She then manually rang up a shirt at the listed price (while I grabbed another photo).
Before anyone in the comments goes crazy, I do NOT fault the cashier on this at all. Rather, I see her behavior a pleasantly surprising example of good customer service: she saw a customer trying to purchase a product that was for some reason (she probably figured it a glitch or error) not supposed to be sold, and did what she could do to allow the customer to buy it.
I am curious, though, why these shirts appeared on the shelf now, when they hadn't been available before. Perhaps a hidden stash in the "back room" had been discovered and blindly put out for display. Perhaps, though, there is more to it that speculation can easily come up with.

- "Spotted this at the Cordova, TN store on 1/21/07 at 4pm, yep its the nazi shirt again! (I know how much you guys love the Wal-mart nazi shirt story)"
On 1/21/07, Naval in Lubbock, TX writes:
- "I was browsing my local Walmart in Lubbock, TX and came across the infamous Nazi insignia bearing shirts. There were at least 6 or 7 more. I tried to buy one, but the register said "Sell not allowed." However, the supervisor offered to sell it with their department code at the $9.xx price. I declined because I just wanted to see if they were still allowing the sale of that item. "
On 1/19/07, NIck in Houston, TX writes:
- "I went to the Wal-Mart I often go to this afternoon on my way from work. This particular Wal-Mart happens to be in Houston, Texas, in the West Oaks area, store #772. After loading up the cart with the things I had to get, I was walking by the mens clothing section, when I remembered about the Nazi Death Head shirt that Wal-Mart should have removed from their shelves. I thought, surely they will not have any…but what if they did? what if I was actually able to walk of the store with one?? So, I walked over the young mens screen T display and started glancing around. At first it looked grim, then upon looking at the very bottom rack, there they were! In fact, there were about 5 of these supposedly banned T-Shirts. I quickly thought about a previous post I read on The Consumerist about the guy bringing the Nazi shirt and another shirt to the register and coaxing the lady to ring them both up under the same sku. Well, not wanting to spend that kind of extra money on shirts I really didn't need, I looked over at the register area and saw the Self Checkout lanes…
I decided to let fate run its course and just see what happens. Without a doubt, I figured when I scanned the shirt, some kind of message would pop up. When I scanned the shirt, a text box window popped up saying a customer service rep would be assisting me shortly. The clerk watching over the checkout lines came to my register in a matter of seconds. The text box went away by pressing "Ok" and she scanned the shirt again. Sure enough, the text box window popped back up. She had no idea what was going on. I said, "That's wierd, there are 4 of those over on the shelf. They are $11.44."
She walked over to her 1980's style, "regular" Wal-Mart cash register and rang it up. Now, it is important for me to clarify that at no point did I see anything indicating a "NO SALE". Instead a price of $7.83 rang up. The clerk joked with me saying, "See, and you were trying to overcharge yourself!" She walked back over to the self checkout register I was originally at and entered manual register mode, that only employees, or maybe hackers, can access. She had to go through a couple of processes, entering the sku, putting in the price, and other basic descriptive categories about the item, then simply typed in "SCREENT" as the product name that would show up on the receipt. Task completed, she walked back to her register, not knowing what she just did, I checked out, paid and walked out of there with a huge smile on my face! Not because I'm endorsing what the shirt stands for or anything, but basically because I saw it as a good goal from the first time I read the post on The Consumerist to try and get one of these shirts if I ever had the oppurtunity.
I have attached a picture of the shirt laid out on my coffee table. I don't have a camera phone, so I couldn't snap any pics at the store…I hope this pic doesn't scream fake, as in I might have already had a shirt…I tried taking a picture of the receipt but the words are unreadable. If you guys absolutely want to see it, I can scan it. Anyways, hope you can post this, it would be my first internet 15 minutes…errr maybe seconds, of fame! Thanks!!"

First there was the curious case of the 300 pieces of Peranakan artefacts and silverware whose value went from $15 million to under $2 million within a matter of three expert valuations. And all because of a complaint, it seems!
The donation to the Peranakan Museum was made in 2008 and announced last year amid much fanfare. The donors, Mr and Mrs Tan Eng Sian, eventually asked for the collection to be returned.
Mr Tan, who is in his 80s, is a descendant of pioneer and philanthropist Tan Kim Seng.
The expert who gave the $15 million valuation is Mr Peter Wee, a well-known Peranakan artefacts dealer and a fourth-generation Baba who is a descendant of prominent businessman Tan Keong Saik.
He is standing by his valuation and also revealed that he received a $15K fee for his job, not the $100K that he was widely rumoured to have received.
National Heritage Board chairman Tommy Koh wrote to the Straits Times to explain why further valuations were called for after the gift had been accepted by the Asian Civilisations Museum.
"… the Asian Civilisations Museum board felt it had a duty to review the original valuation, after receiving a complaint ….."
While we know that the gift was returned, that there were two sharply lower valuations after Mr Wee made his and that there was a complaint, the Singapore public remains in the dark as to
- who made the complaint
- who the two Peranakan experts whose valuations carry more weight than Mr Wee's and last but not least
- how much were the subsequent experts paid for their valuations?
Care to enlighten us, Prof Koh?
Now, the Tan Eng Sian donation isn't the only multi-million dollar deal that has come a cropper as a result of a complaint.
Last week the Singapore stock market, which already had its hands full from the Grecian debt and deficit fall-out, had to deal with the fall-out from an 11th hour (OK, 12 hours, if you must be precise) pull-out by IPO aspirant, China's New Century Shipbuilding.
Rumours there were aplenty with various unnamed sources close to the matter giving the same story: the withdrawal was due to the Chinese shipbuilder's failure to disclose that its subsidiary is the defendant in a US$60 million lawsuit filed by Singapore-based Sino Noble. Also, New Century is alleged to have included two shipbuilding contracts worth a total of US$180 million, which had already been terminated some time ago
And how did our bourse SGX get wind of that lawsuit allegation and contracts inflation? A complaint apparently is New Century's undoing.
Some powerful complainant it must have been surely for those astute professionals working on the offering — and whose faces must now be covered in egg, if the complaint is true — to take notice? How can a lawsuit involving a Singapore company, which would easily turn up in a search on public records, be overlooked?
Like NHB and ACM over the Peranakan donation, I've a feeling we are never going to know who complained. SGX, MAS, UBS, Morgan Stanley and DBS will probably seal what they know about this fiasco in a … a… kamcheng?

OK, I've been really intrigued by the OBWs posted on the board, and broke down and tried it. The design that came about from the hexagons ended up not being symmetrical (I hate that, being a left-brained, computer programming engineer) ... but I went with it, and tried to make it into something interesting.
Also, this was my first time using fusible batting -- not bad, although I would never be able to do anything large with my current work areas, as I cannot iron anywhere except my ironing board.
I used an old sheet for my backing .. .another first. It was high thread-count cotton, but pretty old. I actually like it a lot for the back because it is REALLY soft. However, I don't think it will stand much wear and tear.
Another first was doing meander type FMQ on the borders. I've been doing a lot of FMQ, but had never quite had the guts to be totally random (again, my left brain, pattern-oriented self).
You might recognize the fabric... it's the same that I used in my bowtuck purse that I posted a while back.

After the recent election, there is a certain buzz around Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and their projected impact upon Healthcare Reform. The establishment of ACOs is part of the Affordable Care Act's long and varied history. The ideas behind the development of ACOS are drawn from the need to significantly reduce Healthcare costs, increase quality of outcomes and offset rising prices. The proposed means of attaining these goals include incentive programs and meaningful technological integration. These provider organizations, which are community-centric and operate heavily within the depleting government Healthcare programs, are seen as the most viable candidates to become ACOs. ACOs are becoming defined as any one large organization, existing system or cluster of smaller organizations partnering as a networked, technology-driven care system with competitive and incentivized markets. ACOs will be created around quality, cost control and tracking care outcomes. These outcomes will be monitored and maintained by EHRs. Continue reading: Accountable Care and the ACO will be "Glued Together With Technology"

After the Flood
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2003 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2003
Since people continue to build - and rebuild - their houses in flood prone areas, finding the materials that hold up best after flooding could save energy and money and keep tons of material out of landfills.
The extensive flooding that took place last fall in the southeastern United States brought attention once again to a persistent problem. Floods and flooding result in more damage to buildings throughout the United States than any other natural cause. Since 1990, property damage in the United States related to flooding alone is estimated to have exceeded $30 billion, and millions of people have been left homeless. Homeowners are discouraged from constructing new homes in flood-prone areas, but where existing homes are flooded and must be repaired, the damage from future flooding will be minimized through the use of materials and methods for renovation that resist flood damage. To identify the materials and methods that floodproof a house, the Residential Group of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)'s Buildings Technology Center, in conjunction with Tuskegee University's College of Engineering,Architecture, and Physical Sciences, is flooding and then testing typical residential building envelopes. Because reproducing flood conditions in actual residential structures would be extremely expensive and impractical,we instead designed small prototypical test structures—8 ft x 8 ft modules placed in outdoor basins ...

we are talking a lot about safety, which is very good that we are doing it.
We always say that if you start kitesurfing, you should do a lession. Also very good!
But we never mentioned to discuss about safety while getting lessons!
I'm mention this, because yesterday I talked to a guys. He is a windsurfer and took a lesson in kitesurfing and doesn't want to try it anymore.
It was the first person I talked to saying this to me, so I asked, why.
Then he told me this unbelievable story:
they booked a course and the total number of trainees have been 10 !!! ( ) with one instructor!
He said, two persons had one kite and the the wind became stronger with gusts up to 6 Beaufort. They used a 5 sqm kite, which still is powerful due to its speed.
The crashed one kite after the other and one girl was already dragged towards the land.
The instructor was screaming not to distroy kites!
So if we talk about safety, this is very important to mention.
You should only book a course with a maximum of 4 people per instructor, max 2 kites.
More people with one instructor is dangerous and a rip off!
Any comments?

A Taste of the 18th Century
Jackie began her career doing research for the historic restoration of her 1740 farmstead, Colonial Yard, near
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in 1968.
The estate had been part of the countryside used by George Washington's Army to evade the British in the Winter of 1776. Jackie made a committment to use authentic tools, materials and methods, and to
preserve the historic heritage of the Colonial Estate.Since neither 18th Century artwork, nor skilled craftsman
were readily available or affordable, she completed
the restoration herself.
This quickly led to her next career project, the original production of Traditional American Art forms: Original
Oil Paintings of Colonial Themes, Authentic Aged Fraktur, Scherenschnitte, Bride's Boxes and Hand-Made Dolls to
furnish the estate.
It was not long before requests were made to purchase
her works and soon after the restoration was complete,
Jackie's career as an American artist began.
Jackie currently tours throughout the Eastern United
States, though the best way to experience her creations
is to call and schedule a visit to her private Studio and
Gallery located just 3 miles North of the Revolutionary War Headquarters of Washington's Army at Valley Forge.

Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
"I see my role in two ways. One is as a reader,
responding just like the kids while having a watchful ear
on how their reading and thinking are going and how they
are growing through the story and learning. [While] I'm helping
kids make connections, at the same time I want to be involved
in that reading and thinking process myself in a natural
way. I don't want to come up with a 'teacher question'... I
want to show my own reactions and my own responses as a reader..."
Rich Thompson, 4th-Grade Teacher
Canyon Elementary School
Hungry Horse, Montana
As students discuss the text in their literature groups, Mr. Thompson poses questions and helps them expand their answers. He reminds them of comments they made during previous discussions, and helps them connect those observations to their developing envisionments of the text. At the end of the session, he helps them reflect on their discussion processes, praising the thoughtfulness of their readings and their response logs and pointing out the effective discussion strategies they employed. Literature discussion group time is customarily followed by half an hour of independent reading. Mr. Thompson uses this time to meet with individual students.
As you watch the video, note how Mr. Thompson assumes the role of engaged reader, and how he uses the discussion not only to support student contributions, but to model additional ways they might approach the literature.

NORTHBRIDGE — A Whitinsville couple appeared in Worcester Housing Court Thursday to fight an eviction from the Linwood Mill senior affordable housing complex, claiming the property managers changed the rules to prohibit smoking after the longtime smokers moved in more than a year ago.
Their lawyer also claimed that the couple had not been properly served their eviction summons, noting that the date, time and place of the housing court hearing were incorrect; and when he learned of the errors, the mistake was not appropriately remedied.
Before the case was heard by the judge Thursday, however, the couple and the property manager agreed in mediation that the tenants could smoke inside their unit until Nov. 1. After that, they would have to agree only to smoke outside the building or move out.
Elizabeth G. McCaffrey, 81, and her husband, Richard J. McCaffrey, 78, stated in their affidavits that they sold their home in Warwick, Rhode Island, to move into Linwood Mill in December 2012. They relied on an advertisement that said smokers were welcome as part of their decision to move there.
Linwood Mill is owned by Linwood Mill, LLC, whose resident agent and manager is William E. Giannopoulos, a Whitinsville businessman. The property was developed by EA Fish Development, which in February 2011 received $60,100 in federal low-income tax credits for redevelopment of the historic textile mill to create 75 units of affordable elderly rental housing. It is managed by Peabody Properties Inc. of Braintree.
The couple said they signed a one-year lease with the landlord but were never provided with an original copy of the lease. They were later asked to sign an addendum, after their lease expired, which outlawed smoking.
The couple refused to sign the addendum and were served an eviction summons and complaint on Aug. 11, according to documents provided by their lawyer, Stephen F. Gaudet of Douglas.
Mr. Gaudet had asked in a counterclaim for $40,000 in damages for breach of landlord's covenant of quiet enjoyment, unjust enrichment of the landlord and detrimental balance resulting from the McCaffreys suffering financial, physical and emotional harm and violation of consumer protection laws.
"The favorite red-headed stepchild of the world is smoking," Mr. Gaudet said in an interview. "So far, Massachusetts hasn't outlawed smoking in your own home."
He acknowledged that landlords have the right to do with their property as they see fit, and that after the first year the couple were tenants at will, continuing their tenancy on a month-by-month basis.
But Mr. Gaudet said: "I would argue that's a major change to somebody's rights ... These people are put in a circumstance that they can't comply with. The zero-tolerance policy is financially devastating to them."
The McCaffreys pay $949 per-month rent for their one-bedroom apartment in the low- to moderate-income property, according to Mr. Gaudet. It has been hard for them to find comparable housing at that price.
Thomas J. Farmer, communications specialist for the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency, which holds the mortgage on Linwood Mill, said it does not set policy regarding smoking.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which shares risk with MassHousing on the mortgage, encourages smoke-free housing policies but leaves the decision up to property owners, according to Rhonda Siciliano, public affairs officer for HUD's New England region.
Mr. Gaudet said that when the apartment complex opened, the property manager needed to fill the units quickly to comply with affordable housing requirements.
"So they opened the flood gates and accepted everybody," he said. "But they did that by drawing the smokers in."
Mr. Gaudet said that about 15 other smokers live in the building, but signed the addendum because they were intimidated by the property manager.
"The atmosphere around this building is toxic now. People are moving out," Mr. Gaudet said. "The smokers are just a test case. Pet owners are worried that they're next."
"We won a little, we lost a little," Mrs. McCaffrey said after the mediation.
"After November, I'll be allowed to smoke outside," she said wryly. "We'll move."
Mrs. McCaffrey, who smokes a few packs of cigarettes a day, relies on a wheelchair to move more than a short distance. She said she would have to be pushed through a narrow door and down a long hall to the elevator at the other end of the building to get to the outside smoking area.
"They advertised it as a smoking unit. That's why we moved here," she said.
In an emailed statement, Doreen Bushashia, president of Peabody Residents Services Inc., a branch of Peabody Properties, said: "The transition to smoke-free housing at Linwood Mill Apartments began in March 2013 and concluded on July 1, 2014. Peabody Properties has in place a standard transition process at all properties. It begins with a smoke-free housing survey for all residents and includes informational meetings and follow-up letters to residents. A reminder letter, distribution of information on smoke cessation resources, referrals to supportive services and individual resident meetings to sign lease addendums are also made available to all residents. This was the protocol followed at Linwood Mill Apartments.
"The property also has a designated outdoor smoking area on-site, furnished with benches.
"The property is a 100 percent tax credit property that accepts Section 8 vouchers."
Therese Quijano, lawyer for Peabody Properties, said after the mediation, "I think it worked out very well."

Multiresolution Data Analysis - Numerical Realization by use of Domain Decomposition Methods and Fast Multipole Techniques / Multiscale Solutions of Oblique Boundary-Value Problems by Layer Potentials (2002)
This survey paper deals with multiresolution analysis from geodetically relevant data and its numerical realization for functions harmonic outside a (Bjerhammar) sphere inside the Earth. Harmonic wavelets are introduced within a suit- able framework of a Sobolev-like Hilbert space. Scaling functions and wavelets are defined by means of convolutions. A pyramid scheme provides efficient implementation und economical computation. Essential tools are the multiplicative Schwarz alternating algorithm (providing domain decomposition procedures) and fast multipole techniques (accelerating iterative solvers of linear systems).

To the editor:
If we are lucky enough, each of us has had that moment in his or her life when someone else took time out to make us feel special. Maybe you were struggling with a subject or issue at school, a counselor pulled you aside to help you through it. Or maybe one of your counselors saw something in you that you couldn't see in yourself, and they pushed you to pursue that thing. Or maybe they showed you how amazing those subjects could be, and it opened up your world and put you on the path that landed you in your ideal future job.
If you've ever had a counselor that inspired you, pushed you past what you thought were your limits, or helped you in a way that is still with you today, take a moment out of your day and give them a shout out!
Behind every fabulous person is an our standing counselor! What is a counselor? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her/his best in order to discover what she/he already knows. A believing and compassionate listener and advocate, I had the opportunity to work with one of the greatest counselors for nine years. The love for counseling and children showed in everything she did. I was particularly blessed that "Ms. Fischer" always gave something to take home to think about besides homework. She encouraged individuality and to think for themselves instead of conforming to narrow minded view of the world around us. She inspired creative expression. Her love for counseling showed in everything she did. A few examples of how counselors make a HUGE difference is by working with children who overcome struggling with a subject or issues at schools and the effects of bullying and sexual violence which will linger and can lead to promiscuity, drug abuse, self-harming behaviors and depression-just a few of the potential consequences.
Counselors building self-esteem and self-confidence make the difference and sometimes saving a life! I have been fortunate to remain friends through the years and at 70, she still amazes me with her enthusiasm for learning. If the quote "Anyone who keeps learning stays young," then she is keeping her mind young. She is a wealth of information on any subject you might bring up. Still always smiling and chuckling and sharing funny anecdotes from the past. Thank you so much, Ms. Fischer. You were and are the best.
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. If all of us were privileged to have a counselor like Mary Fischer, the world would be a different place! Good counseling is one of the best things you can do to improve your experience on planet Earth.
Remember, theories don't heal people; people heal people.
Counselors will always end up giving back to students, parents, staff and community.
I can tell you from long experience; it's a gift that keeps on giving.

A flat belly or a healthy lifestyle aren't the only incentives for exercise anymore. A Seattle startup is now rewarding users with money for completing tasks like walking, jogging and cycling. Heck, you can even earn rewards for mowing the lawn or walking the dog.
EveryMove, a TechStars Seattle grad led by entrepreneurs Marcelo Calbucci and Russell Benaroya, officially launched the service today at the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco.
Western Washington is the first market that EveryMove is testing. It's available online and on iOS devices.
Last May, the company announced $2.6 million in financing from Premera Blue Cross, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners and host of Seattle angel investors.
LifeWise Health Plan of Washington is the initial health plan rewards partner. Consumers can connect to their health plan and earn rewards like lower premiums and gift cards. It's a deal that Benaroya calls "monumental."
"People that are active and healthy reduce their risk. That creates real value," he said. "What we're showing is that a health plan is willing to share that with you."
We've certainly seen a number of companies operating in this so-called Health 2.0 space, from Limeade to Mindbloom to Habit Labs to Keas. San Francisco startup Keas, led by former Microsoft and Google exec Adam Bosworth, scored $6.5 million from Ignition Partners and others last year.
Benaroya says that EveryMove is different, working directly with health plans to ensure individuals are rewarded for their healthy actions.
"Surprisingly, it is not that crowded," Benaroya told GeekWire in May. "It is more crowded in the enterprise space, in the employer wellness space. It is not really that crowded when you think about delivering a service for the consumer, regardless of where they work of who their insurance plan is. Given portability of information to an individual is fairly unique."
Benaroya said that the company is looking to "build a bridge" between one's lifestyle activities — exercise and diet for example — and out-of-pocket health care costs.
I checked out the site for a bit to see what this was all about. Signing up was easy and I was able to immediately pick which reward I wanted. They included movie rentals from Redbox, donations to Make a Wish and Amazon gift cards, to name a few. I went with a $5 Amazon gift card.
I was asked to fill in my city, employer and health plan to unlock additional reward opportunities. Then came a Facebook-like news feed with the option to enter activities, check out a leaderboard and see what your friends (up to 24) have been up to.
I lied and said I played racquetball for one hour today at noon. That gave me 33 points, which meant I needed 1,967 more to get that gift card. That's 59 more hours of racquetball — guess I should stop writing and hit the courts A.S.A.P.
But my test-run sparked a question: what about users who cheat the system? Can't a coach potato post several "activities" he or she performed and then reap in rewards?
EveryMove is combating cheating in three ways. First is the way points are calculated — you get more points for when you do things with frequency and for when your activity is socially validated.
The second way is also part of the user experience.
"If you are a cheater and just doing manual entry, it will take a long time to earn a reward and you would have to consistently cheat on a daily basis, likely in front of your friends," Benaroya said. "That's unlikely."
Finally, EveryMove has a back-end detection mechanism that flags dishonest activity before rewards are claimed.

Alanis Morissette: I'm Breastfeeding My 18-Month-Old & I'm Not Stopping
We've all seen the explosive 'Time' magazine cover of Jamie Lynne Grumet breast feeding her nearly 4-year-old son. Whether or not it's for you, we now know what side of the fence Alanis is sitting on. The singer plans to nurse until her son is finished!
Some celebrities — ahem Jason Biggs — have taken the Time magazine feature on the "attachment parenting" phenomenon as a joke, while others completely embrace it. Alanis Morissette has admitted that she'll be breast feeding her 16-month-old son Ever until he's finished.
"I'm an attachment parent," the singer told Access Hollywood on May 17. "I breast feed and I'll be breast feeding until my son is finished and he weans," the 37-year-old mom explained.
Alanis has a son with rapper husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway.

"I think it affords the child, when he grows up, to have a lot less therapy to go to," she added. "For me, I protect his safety and his well-being and his attachment. That stage of development is a very important stage."
Alanis also said to host Billy Bush that she plans to let her son share their bed: "We're definitely skin-on-skin connected as much as possible."

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of, when I read about the wine-smelling robot, was "Oh man, the poor French"?
I've been reading a lot lately about the hand-wringing going on in France -- a general sense of national malaise and pessimism that's being called "Declinism". Dozens of books have been written for the French market, lamenting the current status and future direction of the country.
And when I read about a little 12"-tall Japanese robot that can recommend an awesome cheese to go with your pinot, it just seemed like the straw to break the camel's back.
But before I sound too high-fallutin' about the reasons why I do a particular cartoon, I need to be honest: The real reason I drew today's strip is...it's just fun to write for French accents. Saying "out-a-rage" just the right way in your head can keep you chuckling for a solid 10 minutes.
At least, it did for me.-Dave
Oh, and in case you liked today's strip, here's another past favorite on France.
