Map It!
Arden's Norwalk Corporate Plaza located at 12501 Imperial Highway in the city of Norwalk, California is a 122,175 rentable square foot, six-story office building that is 88% occupied. Norwalk Corporate Plaza was constructed in 1978. When Norwalk Corporate Plaza was purchased by Arden, we found that there were numerous problems related to the HVAC system. Among the problems found were: an inoperable pneumatic control system, an out of balance air distribution system, return air restrictions throughout ceiling plenums, evaporative condenser scaled beyond repair, an inoperable economizer system, and inoperable return air, outside air and exhaust dampers. A major retrofit was required to get the HVAC system operating efficiently.
First, the ceiling plenums were inspected and all obstructions removed that were inhibiting air flow back to the return air shaft. Dampers were installed and/or enlarged where needed. Next, two 30 horsepower vane axial return fans were installed to help raise the return air static pressure. The evaporative condenser was replaced with a more efficient type. Variable Frequency Drives were installed to control the fan speed of the 3 supply air fans and 2 return air fans. A variable frequency drive is also used to control the fan speed on the evaporative condenser. All inoperable dampers were replaced. A new EMS system was installed to control the operation of the refrigeration compressors, evaporative condenser, static pressure, economizer system and air delivery systems.
Additionally, a lighting retrofit was accomplished at the property. The retrofit consisted of replacing the existing F-40 lamps with high efficiency T-8 lamps, removing one lamp from the three tube fixtures, installing reflectors, energy efficient ballasts and occupancy sensors.
Arden Realty, Inc., with over 240 buildings in seven markets, is currently the largest commercial office landlord in Southern California, operating over 18 million rentable square feet with an additional 285,000 square feet under development. We have completed 32 HVAC plant retrofits, 47 EMS systems, 20 carbon monoxide sensor projects and 117 individual building lighting retrofits, including occupancy sensor installation. Arden Realty has also completed seven cogeneration plants and one solar photovoltaic array with a total capacity of three megawatts.

The funeral of well-known businessman Norman Cousins will take place at St Edmund's Church, Emneth, on Monday at 1pm.
Mr Cousins was the founder of Cousins of Emneth and died on Saturday, May 31.
He and his wife, Betty, bought the forge at Emneth in the 1940s and as the business prospered, they exhibited at their first show in 1960. On their first days they sold 22 harrows. Over the years, new implements were invented which earned silver medals at several country shows.
One of his proudest moments was being presented to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother to receive a silver trophy for the best trade stand at the East of England Show.
He was a member of the Blacksmiths' Association.

Re: New characters you want to see in the First Class sequel?
Here are problems they have.with Origins and Last Stand not being outright Ignored It's probelmatic trying to bring In teenage versions of Cyclops,Jean Grey,and Storm.
Polaris who would be logicil step of characters not used In films has problems.First off she Is Magneto's daughter and has similar powers.It would be stretch imaging Michael Fassbender with grown daughter,and kinda har to Introduce character who same powers as Magneto and have no connection to Magneto.
If you think Havok and Banshee are c list characters then any others not yet used would be D list.
You can defently assume from Bryan Singer's latest Interview that
Majority of film takes place In 1973 11 years after first class
The future scenes are likely Original trilogy actors and sentinles.
Any new characters are In 1973 scenes
The Time Travel will likely be like Comic and be a mind swap

heywatsup is correct. There are many who claim to be able to control the elements. They cannot! Nobody can make rain, or storms,or control fire. Many a youngster has thought he/she has created rain.They find it hard to believe that it would have rained anyway!
It is like claiming to be able to cause earthquakes or tornadoes. You can bet money on it that there will be such an event somewhere in the world, and some guy will claim that they made it happen.
They didn't, Mother Earth did !
There is no way to "control" an element, but you may influence it. There are some people that has the power to do such things.

Snapshot for August 11, 2004
Current recovery blind to education attainment
When asked to testify on labor market problems in the current economy last March, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan emphasized the importance of higher educational attainment. Unfortunately, higher education has not been providing the cushion against economic shocks that it once did.
Two economic indicators—unemployment and employment rates—provide insight into how fully people are engaged in the U.S. economy. These data, which can be broken down by educational status, provide an interesting insight.
Figure 1 shows that, 13 quarters into the early 1990s recovery, unemployment increased for all educational levels, especially for those with less than a high school degree, who saw a 2.5 percentage-point increase in unemployment. This increase was significantly larger than the increases for the three other educational levels examined in Figure 1.
Source: Authors' analysis of BLS data
In contrast, 13 quarters into the current recovery shows a different scenario. Increases in unemployment by educational attainment are more uniform, signaling that this weak recovery has traversed across all educational lines. While the increase was still greatest among those with less than a high school degree, similar increases occurred for all other educational levels (ranging from 1.1 to 1.3 percentage-points). Especially unusual is the significant increase in the unemployment rate for college graduates—a 1.1 percentage-point rise in unemployment that exceeds the 0.7 percentage-point rise in a comparable period in the early 1990s.
Unemployment rates are informative, but they do have shortcomings. For example, not included in the unemployment rate are persons who, because of the lack of job prospects, gave up looking for work altogether. Therefore, employment rates—the ratio of employment to population—are a standard measure of labor demand that offers additional insight into the labor market. A look into employment rates (Figure 2) reinforces the notion that college-educated workers, especially after the 2001 recession, have become more vulnerable to weak labor markets. In fact, following the 2001 recession, employment rates for college-educated workers fell 2.5 percentage-points compared to the 1.1 percentage-point decline 13 quarters into the early 1990s recovery. Conversely, the decline in the employment rate for those with less than a high school degree was 2.8 percentage-points in 1990 and just -0.4 percentage-points since the latest downturn in 2001.
Source: Authors' analysis of BLS data
* Seasonally adjusted data. EPI seasonally adjusted data for 1990:3 to 1991:4
The current recovery has been marred by the persistent lack of job creation for workers of all educational levels. The present economic woes are not due to failures regarding the supply side of labor (such as too few college graduates), but rather they are the result of a persistently low demand for all labor.
Today's Snapshot was written by EPI economist Sylvia Allegretto with research assistance by Grace Maro.

|Bradley Jr.
The suitors include the Boston Red Sox. Red Sox GM Ben Cherington and Alderson met Monday afternoon, with New York looking for top Red Sox prospects - outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and shortstop Xander Boegarts in exchange for the Cy Young Award winner.
However, it's unlikely the Red Sox would part with those two prospects.
Boegarts is ranked #1 in the organization and Bradley is ranked #3.
Alderson insisted he had not resolved to trade Dickey, nor would he say the momentum had moved appreciably in that direction. Still, the GM added, he had not even spoken with Bo McKinnis, Dickey's agent, since arriving in Nashville.
Alderson added about the trade talks: "Everything we did today was preliminary. We've met with several clubs on a variety of topics -- not just R.A. We expect to do that the remainder of the afternoon and maybe this evening as well."
He acknowledged also speaking with clubs about left-hander Jonathon Niese.
Alderson said he would be looking for "difference makers" in return for Dickey -- not low Class A prospects. He added that the incoming player would not necessarily have to be an outfielder or catcher -- the two areas of most glaring need for the club.
"What we've tried to say to ourselves is that we have to get back difference makers," Alderson said. "It doesn't have to be a catcher. It doesn't have to be an outfielder. It doesn't have to be anything. But it has to be a difference-maker. Because R.A. is a difference-maker."

Start by selecting Nilla wafers for your buns. You'll want nice ones for the top buns but can use chipped ones for the bottom buns.
Use your finger to spread a little egg wash onto the tops of your top buns. Then use another finger to press sesame seeds into the egg wash.
Next, you'll need to dye your frosting. If you want to skip this step, then you can buy cookie icing in a tube, one yellow and one red. I found it was worth saving the $4 and just coloring it myself.
The final prep before assembly is to dye your coconut. Place it in a bowl with a dab of green icing color and a couple of drops of water. Use a fork to stir until the coconut is a nice, bright green.
To assemble your hamburgers, place a little bit of frosting (either color) on the bottom of a Grasshopper cookie, and press it into one of your bottom buns.
Use a spoon to put yellow frosting on the outer edge of half of the Grasshopper cookie, then red frosting on the other half. Plan on one of the sides where the yellow and red meet being the front of your burger.
Use your fork to sprinkle some coconut onto the frosting, trying to get the coconut toward the outer edges as well.
The final step is to place your top bun on. You will want it to be positioned slightly away from the front edge of the Grasshopper burger so that you can really see all the layers.
These hamburgers will keep for a few days, but the Nilla wafers will get very soft after 24 hours in humid weather, so they're best stored in an airtight container.
Enjoy your sweet hamburger treats.

Rakeem Brookins, the Siena men's basketball player arrested earlier this month on felony burglary charges, is no longer on the team.
The sophomore guard from Philadelphia has been removed from the roster on the school's official athletics website.
"The players you see listed on the roster are the current members of the team," Siena assistant athletic director for communications Jason Rich said.
It is not known if Brookins remains enrolled in school.
Brookins faces second-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny charges after police allege he was found with another student's wallet.
Brookins allegedly told police he was drunk and went to buy marijuana but then stole his dealer's wallet. He also told police he used the victim's debit card to buy gas for teammate Trenity Burdine's car.
Burdine hasn't been charged in the incident, and he remains on Siena's roster.
Brookins started 17 games for Siena this past season, but his career had been sidetracked by injuries and off-the-court issues. He missed an entire season because of recurring back problems, and he was suspended for three games this past season for what the college called "a violation of athletic department policy."

Weber State University Magazine Spring 2014 : Page 20
What DREAMS May Come WSU ANNOUNCES LARGEST FUNDRAISING EFFORT IN ITS 125-YEAR HISTORY In 1877, German-born educator Louis F. Moench , serving as superintendent of Weber County schools, wrote a report to trustees. In it he said, "I beg leave to Kindly ask the members of the Legislature of our county, as well as county and city officers, to aid in establishing a college for our city, where our students may further qualify themselves for teaching, so that Weber County may maintain her position in education advancement with the leading counties of our Territory." Amy Hendricks UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS
In The Footsteps Of Our Founding Fathers
Amy Hendricks
In 1877, German-born educator Louis F. Moench, serving as superintendent of Weber County schools, wrote a report to trustees. In it he said, "I beg leave to Kindly ask the members of the Legislature of our county, as well as county and city officers, to aid in establishing a college for our city, where our students may further qualify themselves for teaching, so that Weber County may maintain her position in education advancement with the leading counties of our Territory."

 Eleven years later, in December 1888, Moench accepted a great responsibility — for $125 a month, he agreed to guide a fledgling school named Weber Stake Academy. He saw it open Jan. 7, 1889, in an Ogden meetinghouse. He saw it struggle through financial hardships. He saw it grow. And we'd like to think he saw it fulfill his dream — Moench died in 1916, the year college courses were introduced into the curriculum.

 Today, Weber State University stands on the shoulders of giants, of great dreamers like Moench and early faculty and Board of Education members who stretched resources, even mortgaged their homes, to meet needs, build buildings, hire the best of the best, and keep education inexpensive, so it would be "within the reach of the humblest in the land."

 With their help, Weber grew in both size and stature. And while much has changed since our humble beginning as an academy, Weber State has remained firmly dedicated to its students. To foster this legacy, the university has embarked on the largest fundraising effort in its history, "Dream 125: The Campaign for Weber State."

 But as we look to the future, let us also, for a moment, walk in the footsteps of our founding fathers as they worked to provide opportunities, advance knowledge and enhance campus, much like we are today.

 THE EARLY YEARS

 The year was 1889. With the finishing touches having been put on the transcontinental railroad 20 years earlier, Ogden had become the junction of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads, prompting the Chamber of Commerce to adopt the motto, "You can't get anywhere without coming to Ogden." The train brought with it progress and people, including a rough-andtumble sort uncharacteristic to the pioneer village.

 The average house cost approximately $5,000, a quart Of milk 56 cents. $1 at that time would have been worth around $27 today. Tuition at Weber Stake Academy, for a term of 10 weeks, was $3 for the preparatory department, $4.50 for the intermediate department and $6 for the academic department.

 The needs were great. By the academy's third term, enrollment had nearly doubled — to 184 — with every available seat occupied. A move to a larger facility was imminent. Work began on the Ogden Tabernacle to prepare it to accommodate the school. The academy's tabernacle home was short-lived, however, derailed by provisions of federal anti-polygamy legislation.

 A proper home was secured in 1890 on the west side of Jefferson Avenue between 24th and 25th streets, a location that was "sufficiently removed from the business part of the city and secluded from the sight and participation of many of the evils and vices existing in Ogden." At a price of $22,900, Weber Stake Board of Education members mortgaged their homes to fund the project. The new academy opened on Nov. 23, 1891, to much excitement.

 The school struggled financially over the next several years, and in the midst of the Panic of 1893, when the stock exchange crashed and the gold reserve was in rapid decline, school board treasurer Robert McQuarrie advanced $1,000 of his own money to pay faculty and cover ongoing costs.

 It wasn't until 1908 — the year that a second, much-Needed classroom facility opened at a cost of $40,192 — that contributions by faculty, students, church leaders and community members retired the school's debt. It just so happened that then-academy President David O. McKay was enjoying a surprise farewell party — he had decided to dedicate full-time service to the LDS Church — when he received the financial news with "great emotion." The evening concluded with a dance in the auditorium.

 Many made great contributions that not only kept the school afloat in its early years, but also enhanced the quality of education for students, like the Christmastime donation of an organ by Glenn Brothers Piano Company of Ogden, or the $795 contribution by Ogden citizens to purchase instruments for the band. And, when small pox became a problem in 1919, with 20 students out with the disease, Dr. Harry W. Nelson generously offered to furnish a vaccine at no cost, as long as the vaccinations were administered in his office.

 THE GREAT DEPRESSION ERA

 About 43,000 of Utah's 170,000 workers were unemployed.More than 30,000 Utah families were on relief. Twentyfive Utah banks had failed.

 The average house cost approximately $7,543, a quart of milk 14 cents.
 $1 then would have been worth around $13 today.

 And apparently, due to shortage of funds, several of the college's student debaters wished to resort to hitch-hiking to tournaments, a method of transportation that was denounced by the Board of Trustees. Responding to professor Leland Monson's suggestion that "they be able to travel in a variety of ways," the board said, "a hitch-hiking tour by debaters was not appropriate" and "if debaters could not go in a dignified way they should be kept at home."

 Fees at Weber had increased to $75 a year in 1931, the same year church president Heber J. Grant said, "Unless the state Legislature provides for the continuation of Weber and Snow colleges, neither school would be continued longer than the 1931-32 school year." Weber's faculty and administration, recognizing the hard times that had befallen the nation, allowed produce in lieu of tuition money. News of the "produce for tuition" plan was publicized widely, including in the Chicago Tribune.It was not only important to have students receive an Education, but also to have large numbers of students to justify the need for a junior college in Ogden.

 In 1933, at the depth of the Great Depression, Weber College was transferred from the church to the state.

 That same year, the Legislature recommended all state salaries be reduced by 15 percent. In 1934, Weber faculty voted to reduce their salaries by 10 percent rather than eliminate five teaching positions, as suggested by the state school superintendent.

 A CHANGE OF LOCATION

 The year was 1945. World War II was ending, and life in America was returning to normal. Economic conditions were on the upswing. The average house cost approximately $9,914, a gallon of milk 62 cents. $1 at that time would have been worth around $12 today.

 And with the GI Bill having passed a year earlier, many World War II veterans were searching for a college education. Weber College's enrollment jumped from 465 students in the 1944-45 school year to 967 in 1945-46.

 As then-President H. Aldous Dixon watched students flood Weber College, he suggested to the State Board of Education that a committee be formed to study the expansion needs of the college. In 1946, Weber applied for 10 surplus buildings at Hill Field to become temporary classroom facilities on the downtown college campus.

 In 1947, Utah Senate Bill 134 passed, directing the State Board of Education to acquire "a Suitable Campus for Weber College." The bill was passed with the understanding that the people of Ogden would contribute one-half the cost of a new site for the college. The Chamber of Commerce pledged the support of the Weber County community to match the $50,000 appropriated by the Legislature. $50,091 was collected by July 15, 1947, and the property on Harrison Boulevard was purchased soon thereafter.

 Students contributed more than 1,000 hours of labor at the new location, helping build a stadium. Even community organizations got caught up in the excitement, with the Rotary Club of Ogden donating $25,000 to construct a "suitable entrance to the new campus." Its members are to thank for Weber's iconic rock wall. And the Kiwanis Club planted trees and shrubs on the land.

 Classes began at the new "upper campus" on Sept. 22, 1954, with the "lower campus" still in operation.The Ogden Bus Company transported students between the two campuses for 7 cents each way.

 By 1961, the "upper campus" was populated with a number of structures, including the beloved Buildings 1-4 and a stadium. And with the 1962 commencement, another chapter in Weber's history had come to a close, with the college not only having moved from downtown to Harrison Boulevard but also having been granted the authority to transition from a junior college to a senior college.

 MAKING WEBER, WEBER

 The year was 1967. The average house cost $22,700.The average annual income was $5,213.

 And Weber had just hired the first full-time director of the development fund — a coordinated program to encourage gifts from alumni, friends and organizations, gifts that would provide much-needed support for students, faculty, programs and facilities.

 Dean Hurst '48, alongside the development fund board, would spend the next 24 years generating millions for the college, many of which would go toward the buildings and structures that are quintessentially Weber. One of the first gifts officially to come in was funding for the bell tower. Named for alumni and donors Donnell '66 and Elizabeth '25 Stewart — founders of the Stewart Education Foundation — it was the first structure on campus to be memorialized, setting the stage for future naming. Hurst fondly remembers getting the $225,000 check: "President (William 'Bill') Miller ran it down to the safe. We just weren't used to checks of that size!"

 Next up would be the Dee Events Center, named for Lawrence T. Dee. The $11.4 million facility received $5.5 Million in private sector funds, including $1 million pledges by the Stewarts and the Dees. The balance was paid through student fees and revenue bonds.

 Over the next two decades, Hurst also spearheaded funds for the Stewart Library, the Ada Lindquist Plaza and the Marriott Allied Health Building.

 Then, in 1987, a $1 million bequest by Mark Evans and Lola G. Austad put plans for another new building in motion, a building that would confirm Weber State's and the community's commitment to preserving the arts. In the next 10 years, private funds came in from supporters John A. '39 and Telitha E. Lindquist, Barbara Kimball Browning, William Rice Kimball, the Stewart Education Foundation, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, and a host of others. Opened in 2002, the Kimball Visual Arts Building was the first academic building built entirely with private donations.

 Take, for example, Todd Rose '00. In 1989, the selfdescribed "quirky kid" was a high-school dropout with a 0.9 grade point average (GPA). Eleven years later, he was graduating from Weber State with a 3.97 GPA and a psychology degree, and moving cross country to

 Cambridge, Mass., where Harvard's Ph.D. program awaited. Rose credits his father, for challenging him to go to college, and three Weber State psychology professors, for not giving up on him. One even taught an extra class and donated his pay so he could hire Rose as a research assistant. Today, Rose teaches educational neuroscience at Harvard's Graduate School of Education and is co-founder and president of Project Variability, an organization that seeks to reinvent America's "one-size-fits-all" approach to education.

 And then there's Cassie Cox '03, who, at 18, became a widow and single mother to a young son when her abusive husband was killed in a car crash. A few years later, having been left with nothing, she enrolled at Weber State, where faculty heroes nurtured her passion for reading and refused to let her give up. One even called at 10 p.m. demanding to know why she hadn't applied for a scholarship. Today, Cassie is an English teacher at Two Rivers, an alternative high school in the Weber School District. Most recently, she was instrumental in bringing Civil Rights history To life for her students when she successfully invited Simeon Wright to visit. Wright is author of Simeon's Story: An Eyewitness Account of the Kidnapping of Emmett Till, which details the 1955 murder of his cousin.

 "Throughout its 125-year history, Weber State has been launching students' dreams, like Todd's, like Cassie's, like mine," said Alan Hall '69, chair of the Dream 125 Steering Committee and WSU's Board of Trustees, Weber alumnus and successful entrepreneur. "It is absolutely amazing what our students can do when given what I like to call 'transformative opportunities.' Lives are changed when students work one-on-one with talented professors, when students nurture curiosity during undergraduate research projects, when students partner with faculty and community to enhance the lives of others, when students — who never thought they would — receive their diplomas. They are our inspiration. Please consider giving and help us carry on a tradition of making students' dreams come true."

Sorors continue to make headlines as they speak across the country for political issues. First up is singer/songwriter Alicia Keys.
Soror Keys took part in the Women Vote 2012 Summit at the Pennsylvania Convention Center with senior Democratic strategist Valerie Jett on Monday, July 16th. See the video below.
While there, a casually dressed Soror Keys also visited the campaign office. The singer previously threw her support behind Obama for his 2008 presidential campaign.
Next is Soror Jada Pinkett Smith who has not been ashamed about her fight against human trafficking.
This past Tuesday, Soror Smith, along with daughter Willow and hubby, Will Smith wore "Free Slaves" T-shirts as they visited Capitol Hill to urge the government to take action against human trafficking. They also brought three survivors before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"Fighting slavery doesn't cost a lot of money. The costs of allowing it to exist in our nation and abroad are much higher," Soror Pinkett Smith said. "It robs us of the thing we value most, our freedom."
Soror Pinkett Smith called for an extension of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which provides funding to combat trafficking and help trafficking victims. The act also created a task force, chaired by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, which coordinates among federal agencies to implement policies against human trafficking.

Texas Latinos' primary lawsuit to be reconsidered
February 19, 2009 by admin
Filed under Blog, News & Commentary
By KELLEY SHANNON Associated Press
Feb. 18, 2009
AUSTIN — Latino voters who sued the Texas Democratic Party claiming its presidential delegate system discriminates against Hispanics are getting another chance to make their case.
A judge threw out the lawsuit last year, but the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled Tuesday that a three-judge panel — not one judge — should decide the merits of the case and sent it back to lower courts for reconsideration.
The League of United Latin American Citizens, the Mexican American Bar Association of Houston and other plaintiffs sued the state and the Democratic Party after the intense primary between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. The plaintiffs weren't contesting to whom the delegates were awarded, but rather how the allotment was made.
They argue that the complicated delegate system unfairly dilutes Latino votes by awarding fewer presidential delegates to heavily Hispanic areas.
Though a federal Voting Rights Act claim is at the heart of the lawsuit, the Latino voter advocates also are taking aim at the entire Texas delegate system known as the Texas two-step, which included a March 2008 primary and caucus plus senate district caucuses a few weeks later. They say the system dilutes the votes of those who cast only a primary ballot but can't make it to an evening caucus on primary day.
"From the very beginning our goal was to get rid of the Texas two-step," Luis Vera, national general counsel for LULAC, said Wednesday.
Last year Judge Fred Biery of San Antonio dismissed the suit. He had said the spirit and intent of the Voting Rights Act, which protects minorities, was not violated. Biery said the act does not dictate to political parties how to determine their presidential nominees as long as everyone is allowed to participate.
Nearly all the delegates in the Texas system are apportioned based on Democratic voter turnout numbers in state senate districts in previous elections. So, low turnout in a Hispanic area for Democrat Chris Bell in the 2006 gubernatorial election resulted in fewer presidential delegates for that district in 2008.
LULAC contends that Latino districts by nature have fewer Democratic participants because the voting age population is younger.
"They reward white Republican districts and dilute the vote of the Latino districts," Vera said. "The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of inclusion."
The Texas Democratic Party said it strongly supports the Voting Rights Act, and party officials said they are confident they will win again before Biery and two other judges to be named to hear the case in the coming months.
Party attorney Chad Dunn said the Democrats' rules are decided by delegates to the state convention and that there is no discriminatory intent or effect.
"We think it's a fundamental First Amendment issue," he said. "The Texas Democratic Party runs a fair primary system. … You just turn out and vote and you're awarded more delegates next time around."
The Texas Democratic Party system has been in place for 20 years. It sends presidential delegates to the national party convention based on primary and caucus results. The caucus delegates are distributed through a series of meetings, starting on primary day and culminating with a state convention three months later.
The appeals court upheld the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claim against the state, saying that the delegate allocation procedure was enacted and operated by the party, not the state of Texas.

A century of tradition, craftsmanship, heritage, culture and creativity are some of the defining factors of Montblanc , one of the world's most consistent and successful luxury brands, which CEO Lutz Bethge calls international: We are based in Germany but Montblanc is truly an international company our writing instruments manufacture is based in Germany, we have two watch manufactures in Switzerland, a design studio in France and our leather competence centre is Italy.
During my recent visit at the headquarters of Montblanc in Hamburg, I learned that most of the employees have been with Montblanc for generations, some growing up as part of the Montblanc family. For instance, in the nib manufacturing department (Montblanc manufactures internally the nibs for all its writing instruments – all nibs are made of gold) from a technical setter, Axel (20 years with Montblanc) to Eva who has been with Montblanc for 35 years, I was most impressed by the team spirit and passion the staff share. Production is divided in teams and each carry out the entire process of manufacturing – they are given a volume target and they can divide their time accordingly, almost like having your very own private atelier where you take joy in organizing your own time. To understand the passion for perfection in manufacturing, imagine a sealed room, perfectly soundproofed where two ladies test manually each fountain pen writing with invisible ink on paper. Even one cannot see the actual writing sense every single imperfection from the sound the nib makes when writing on paper as well as from the ease of various movements of the nib on paper.
Throughout my visit, I have uncovered efficiency is another key contributing factor to Montblanc's continued success. For instance, in the nib manufacturing facility, the company installed exhaust systems to recover the gold dust which results from the manufacturing process. Production is optimized according to orders and the company keeps minimal stocks.
For its high-end, ultra luxury fountain pens, Montblanc has created a distinct division, almost like a separate company within Montblanc, which focuses solely on the Artisan Collections, the entire production being handled internally, from manufacturing of the nibs to the precious stone settings, as well as the actual creative process. The Artisan Atelier from Hamburg works closely with the design studio of Montblanc in Paris, where all the Montblanc high jewellery pieces are created and at the same time, artisans from Hamburg may provide their expertise to the team in Paris.
It takes up to two years for an artisan fountain pen to be created, from design sketches, the plastic print model (the mock up), to the final touches. Each such artisan pen is produced in a limited edition, usually in a number which is related to the person it is dedicated, in most cases, the age when the respective personality died. Prices range from 10.000 to 200.000 euros and in some cases limited editions are sold out before they reach the stores. There are collectors who are fervently pursuing every such creation. In a recent auction of such a limited edition pen, a collector sold his Lorenzo di Medici artisan limited edition fountain (launched 1992) more than ten times what he actually paid for it, but such auctions are rare, as collectors are truly passionate.
Wearing soft white gloves in the inspiring Artisan Atelier, I held in my hands the only remaining piece of limited edition dedicated to Gustave Eiffel, Statue of Liberty, Charlie Chaplin, Gaudi, Prince Rainier III or Pablo Picasso (launched earlier this year), each a masterpiece reflecting Montblanc's DNA – ultimate level of craftsmanship and the most exclusive materials. The creative process is most impressive, the Montblanc artisans researching every single defining elements of one's personality, almost like a lifetime introspective and then selecting only a few elements to be recreated on the actual pen.
The most vivid Artisan Edition was the one Montblanc dedicated to controversial Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Inspired by her work and her life, the fountain pen's design features a cobalt blue body reminiscent of the Casa Azul, or Blue House, where the artist was born. An openwork cap in champagne gold has a leafy, organic design borrowed from some of her paintings. A pronounced V-shaped clip, evoking her signature eyebrows, is accented at its end by a heart-shaped ruby symbolizing her passion and pain. And the 18k gold tip is engraved with a self-portrait. The limited edition is comprised of 70 pens, one for each page of her diary, whose famous final entry reads, "I'm happy to be leaving and I hope never to return."
The limited edition artisan fountain pens have been crucial to maintaining Montblanc's positioning as a luxury brand and the strict policy of never making any exceptions of producing an extra item of a limited edition has also been beneficial on the long term. It not only creates desirability but it also emphasizes what a true luxury brand stands for – creativity, craftsmanship, raw materials of exceptional quality and rarity and most of all it fuels the credibility and reputation of the brand.
Considering Montblanc's presence in several product categories, I was eager to understand Mr Bethge's position on diversification. He said: Credibility is essential when expanding a luxury brand into different product categories. I don't like the word diversification. I believe such extensions have to be natural, have to be embraced by the brand. In our case for instance, the development from fountain pens to watches was based on our expertise in fine mechanics and our total believe in manufacturing competence, which resulted in our two watch manufactures in Switzerland.
And indeed, Montblanc's launch into watches is a proud achievement of Montblanc and during our interview he explained "When we had our first press conference SIHH to launch our first collection of watches, the entire watch industry considered our move as a mockery and I remember a journalist even asking whether our watches run on ink. Our approach was a sensible and cautious one, of course benefiting from the expertize of our parent company, Richemont, which has this amazing expertize in luxury watches".
Instead of having Montblanc watches manufactured by one of Richemont Group 's established watchmaker companies, Montblanc made a strategic move a few years ago acquiring the historic chronograph watch manufacturer named Minerva in Switzerland. Montblanc incorporated the famous watch maker into the brand as the place where their highest-end watches would be made. Maintaining traditional manufacturing techniques, the Montblanc location in Switzerland produces timepieces using historic machinery and carefully honed skilled human labor. The result is timepieces with not only a friendly vintage charm, but also those with beautifully produced, hand assembled and decorated mechanical movements.
Speaking about the success of the launch into watches, Mr Bethge said it was the Rieussec Collection which established Montblanc as a credible watch maker. Montblanc's Rieussec watch is the first mechanical movement manufactured in Montblanc's own workshops in Le Locle, Switzerland, taking its inspiration from Nicolas Rieussec's 1821 invention of the world's first chronograph. And Mr Bethge proudly showed me the very first chronograph of Nicolas Rieussec, adding Unfortunately, this is a replica. The original showed up at an auction many years ago but since, we have been unable to trace it…If ever you hear about it, call me and I shall buy it, he added with a smile. Speaking about the Rieussec, Mr Bethge said It is a watch that has it all – a unique movement and with it a recognizable design, incredible craftsmanship as well as a beautiful story. It is a watch which people are proud to wear and it will always be recognized.
Much like in the case of its fountain pens, Montblanc did not sit on its laurels with its watches collection and pursued its quest for perfection, through innovation and ultimate craftsmanship. At this year's edition of the SIHH event in Geneva, Switzerland, Montblanc presented the Vintage Tachydate from the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858, with an exquisite Montblanc Calibre MB M16.32. This is the first time that Montblanc presented a timepiece with a date indication in the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858. While it is a minor touch, incorporating a date function into the Montblanc Villeret 1858 watch look is meaningful addition to the design. Doing so the traditional way to indicate a date with a hand versus disc and window helps retain the natural look of the dial and allows it fit into the rest of the collection seamlessly.
When I asked about his views on the fact that consumers nowadays are using modern technology to communicate and less writing using a fountain pen, Mr Bethge said: "For us, making people rediscover writing is both a challenge and an opportunity. Our projects with UNICEF to promote literacy around the world as well as projects such as the John Lennon Tour Bus, which toured America to discover new musical talent have achieved long term awareness for writing. The emotional aspect of writing, the power of a signature, or taking time for a handwritten note to somebody we treasure or love, conveying the message to this person you are important to me, is essential for our approach and despite the growing use of technology, our writing instruments division has been growing and today represents almost 50% of our entire turnover. The decision of my predecessor, Norbert Platt to discontinue the lower priced range of products was also crucial in positioning Montblanc as a luxury brand. Today, our entry level is the iconic Meisterstück. We don't compromise, only the best quality".
Every year since 1992, the Montblanc Cultural Foundation, has been presenting the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage award. This internationally renowned award is bestowed on celebrities from artistic and cultural worlds, whose personal commitment is made, mostly away from the spotlight and the public eye.
Innovation is of utmost importance for Montblanc, not only in terms of products but aslso in terms of service. During my visit at the headquarters I had the opportunity to try out Montblanc's bespoke nib service a computerized system which analyzes the writing patterns of a consumer to the smallest details. This way, Montblanc customers can choose the ideal nib which fits the writing. . Other services include personalization of the nib and online customer assistance on the brand's Facebook page.

Oil Climbs to Two-Year High, Stocks Gain on Recovery Confidence, Takeovers
Oil rose to a two-year high and Asian stocks climbed for a third day on signs of a global economic recovery and a pickup in corporate takeovers.
Crude oil traded in New York gained 0.2 percent to $90.70 a barrel as of 7 a.m. in London, bringing its three-month advance to 21 percent. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index Excluding Japan Index climbed 0.3 percent to 471.97. Japanese markets are closed today for a public holiday. Futures on the U.S. Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index both rose 0.1 percent.
U.S. government data yesterday showed the economy expanded faster than previously estimated and crude supplies dropped to the lowest level since February, before a report today that will probably show consumer spending growth picked up last month. Rio Tinto Group, the world's third-biggest mining company, offered A$3.9 billion ($3.9 billion) for Australian coking coal developer Riversdale Mining Ltd.
"The economic data is showing that the recovery is broadening from the emerging markets, and that even the U.S. recovery is entrenched," said Prasad Patkar, who helps manage about $1.8 billion at Platypus Asset Management Ltd. in Sydney.
Oil gained for a fifth day, its longest winning streak in six weeks. The world's largest economy grew at a 2.6 percent annual rate last quarter, above the government's previous estimate of 2.5 percent. The U.S. Energy Department said stockpiles dropped 5.33 million barrels.
Bullish Numbers
Spending by U.S. consumers, which accounts for about 70 percent of gross domestic product, rose 0.5 percent after a 0.4 percent gain in October, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the data is released today. A separate report may show bookings for durable goods excluding cars and planes climbed 1.8 percent.
"We are bullish on oil in the short, medium and long term," Michael Haigh, global head of commodities research at Standard Chartered Plc in Singapore said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "On the Move Asia" program. "Over the next year we're seeing oil creeping up into the mid-$90s."
The regional stock benchmark that excludes Japan has climbed 5.2 percent this month as China refrained from raising interest rates and U.S. reports on consumer confidence, the trade deficit and employment beat analyst estimates.
Rio Purchase
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.4 percent today, climbing to the highest level in almost seven weeks. Rio Tinto gained 0.5 percent to A$87.20 as its acquisition will help boost its coal reserves in Mozambique as demand rises.
Takeovers in Australia surged to a record this quarter, renewing hopes that 2011 will uncork a backlog of deals in a commodities-led revival. The value of announced mergers and acquisitions since Sept. 30 more than quadrupled from a year ago to $59 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The past week saw bids for Bilfinger Berger SE's construction unit and iron-ore explorer Giralia Resources NL.
Aker Solutions ASA, Norway's largest engineering company, climbed 4.3 percent yesterday after Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. agreed to buy some of its units.
BHP Billiton Ltd. and Woodside Petroleum Ltd., Australia's two largest oil and gas producers, gained 1.4 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the world's biggest electronics manufacturing services provider, advanced 1.7 percent in Taipei on speculation U.S. demand for its products will rise.
Kiwi Gains
The Singapore dollar appreciated 0.3 percent to S$1.3054 against its U.S. counterpart and South Korea's won climbed 0.5 percent to 1,148.95. Taiwan's dollar rose 2.6 percent to NT$29.84, partly reflecting intervention to weaken the currency by the central bank yesterday. Taiwan will report today that factory production increased for a 15th month, and Singapore will say tomorrow that industrial output accelerated last month, economists predicted in separate Bloomberg surveys.
"Risk appetite is boosted again," said David Cohen, the Singapore-based head of Asian forecasting at Action Economics. "We see a more optimistic tone amid investors worldwide as the global recovery is continuing."
The New Zealand dollar advanced against all of its 16 most- traded peers as Finance Minister Bill English said economic expansion will accelerate next year, buoyed by the country hosting the Rugby World Cup finals and strong export prices. The nation's GDP unexpectedly fell in the third quarter, a government showed today.
New Zealand's currency climbed to NZ$1.3438 per Australian dollar from NZ$1.3489 yesterday in New York, where it reached as low as NZ$1.3521, the weakest since September 2000. It rose 0.8 percent to 74.63 U.S. cents.
"Markets were already braced for something relatively weak, so the bigger picture is one where GDP growth should continue to recover next year and that's limiting downside in the kiwi," said Mike Jones, a currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand Ltd. in Wellington.
Pound Gains
The pound advanced 0.3 percent to $1.5424 after Bank of England Markets Director Paul Fisher said in a Daily Telegraph interview that the central bank is seeking higher interest rates. The euro appreciated to $1.3132 from $1.3100 in New York yesterday. It fell to 109.17 yen from 109.47 yen.
Copper declined for a second day in London as the metal's rally to a record deterred purchases in China, the world's largest user. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange dropped 0.4 percent to $9,315 a metric ton.
China's benchmark money-market rate surged to a three-year high on speculation a shortage of funds will worsen as banks hoard cash before the New Year holiday. Policy makers on Dec. 10 ordered lenders to park more money with the central bank for the third time in five weeks to limit inflation.
The seven-day repo rate, which measures lending costs between banks, jumped 150 basis points to 5.67 percent, the highest level since October 2007, according to a daily fixing published at 11 a.m. by the National Interbank Funding Center.

Many have asked for more oiling of the SCORE and Voluptuous Girls and that's what's in store for strapping bosom goddess Vanessa Y. (in addition to her new set and video "To Kill A Bra"). It's an oil spill and there was no help from any environmental agencies in cleaning Vanessa up. Fresh out of the shower after "To Kill A Bra," Vanessa was squirted and then handed the bottle to complete the job. Her healthy, statuesque body looks magnificent coated in baby oil. It was a shame the sight didn't last but at least seeing Vanessa soaping and showering again came next. .

The issue was whether evidence obtained by torture could be taken into account by the home secretary to detain suspected terrorists. Two of the three appeal judges said yes. The third, Neuberger, took an impassioned stand against the majority. He said that "democratic societies, faced with terrorist threats, should not readily accept that the threat justifies the use of torture, or that the end justifies the means. It can be said that, by using torture, or even by adopting the fruits of torture, a democratic state is weakening its case against terrorists by adopting their methods, thereby losing the moral high ground an open democratic society enjoys." On a less serious note, I can safely say that Neuberger is the first law lord in history to have a sister-in-law who is both a rabbi and a member of the house of lords, Baroness (Julia) Neuberger.
There is only a month left for budding QCs to send in their applications and they are going to need every moment (plus just under £3,000 for the privilege of being allowed to apply). It's just possible that there exists, somewhere in the world, an application form longer than the 118 pages they need to complete (the guidance on how to fill it in takes 16 pages). But I cannot believe that anyone else seeking advancement has to provide so many referees. Twenty-four of them. But not just any old 24. Twelve of them have to be judges or arbitrators; six practitioners and six clients. But just to introduce a touch of lottery about the process, only nine of the 24 will actually be asked to give their opinions to the selection committee; how the lucky nine will be chosen is a mystery.
I mention these procedures in order to ask: is this not making the QC contest an absurdity? For heaven's sake, it's not even a job these people want, only the right to put two letters after their names and earn a lot more money as a result. It almost (but not quite) makes you wish for the good old days when QCs were chosen because someone had whispered to the lord chancellor that they were good chaps, not too bad at their work.
What awaits our legal ministers in 2007? Gordon Brown, of course, but how will he shuffle his pack of lawyers? There's a general feeling that Tony Blair's friend Charlie Falconer will not survive as lord chancellor and chief of the Department for Constitutional Affairs. For the first time, according to the recent, controversial Constitutional Reform Act, the lord chancellor will no longer have to be a lawyer, nor indeed a member of the House of Lords.
Will Mr Brown have the courage to give the most ancient and glittering office in the land, once held by Thomas More, to an ambitious party apparatchik who may, in his or her past life have been - an anguished gulp from the lawyers - a teacher, social worker or local authority official? I think not, and here's a way out for him. Make Lord Goldsmith the lord chancellor and DCA boss, and Harriet Harman the attorney general.

Principal's Message July 2014
July 2014
We hope that you will use this website to inform, refresh and involve yourself in Academie Da Vinci. As the new Principal, I look forward to meeting and working with our amazing students, parents, extended family members and our wonderful supporters and volunteers. I am getting to know our teachers and staff this summer and have been impressed by their commitment to the highest standards in academics and the arts. I personally can't wait to see the many exciting shows and participate in the many fundraisers and events at Academie Da Vinci. I am working with the Board of Directors and the PTA to update all the information on the website and to keep it current, informative and exciting.
Currently I am reviewing student enrollment, waitlists and our spring 2014 FCAT results. More information will be posted on FCAT scores soon but individual reports are available for parents to pick up (please call ahead). One change that is happening before school starts is the creation of a new classroom for our gifted students and improved space for our students who use resource support. These changes will support our efforts to instill higher level critical thinking skills in all students. In addition, our Resource Teacher is now a full time position and our Gifted teacher has increased her hours, to better serve our children's needs.
It's very exciting to join a school that has such committed parent involvement. I encourage every parent to join our PTA, attend the meetings and participate in the life of our school. The PTA organizes many events that benefit Academie Da Vinci. Every event needs volunteers. School volunteers assist with classroom tasks, lunchtime, field trips, festivals, PTA fundraising, office help, yearbook, playground maintenance, and more. Please contact the school office to complete a Volunteer Form.
Every subject and activity in the elementary curriculum is important for your child's development. Teachers will assign homework at least four days each week. Homework is designed to reinforce skills taught and give opportunities for practice. Every student should also be reading every day. Please help your child understand the assignments and check afterwards that the work is complete and packed for the next school day.
Sincerely, Lucy Foran

Field season ends August 2011
Final Report December 2011
Progress and Results
This project is looking at demography, dispersal, and management of black-tailed prairie dogs at four small national parks. The third and final field season will end in August of 2011. Sand Creek National Massacre site is the only site that was not trapped after 2009 due to a plague epizootic which killed off the town and it is still currently unoccupied. We use the robust design with full heterogeneity in Program Mark, in conjunction with the delta method, to estimate apparent annual survival for adults. The analysis is run separately for each site. Fort Larned was the only park to show a difference between the sexes of 33% for males and 84% for females and was highest from spring of 2010 to spring of 2011. Scotts Bluff's highest estimated apparent annual survival rates were the same for both sexes at 38% from spring of 2010 to spring of 2011. Bent's Old Fort is quite a bit lower at 17% and was highest from the spring of 2009 to the spring of 2010. Over the course of three years, 171 radio collars have been attached to prairie dogs at all the sites. Both intracolony and intercolony dispersal from both males and females was documented. Lastly, the study will compare the visual count method described by Plumb et al. (2001) to mark-resight analysis in program MARK and mark-recapture using closed population models to help parks decide which methods are the most useful to measure their towns abundance. With this data the parks will be better equipped to assess their populations and choose the best management strategy to both maintain their colonies and lower the risk of the prairie dogs expanding onto private land.

After 5 years and 257 shows, Matt Wells is joined for his final Media Talk by John Plunkett, Paul Robinson and Maggie Brown.
The panel begin by discussing the Norway terror attacks and asking why the media got it so wrong. Neal Mann, who you may know better as fieldproducer on Twitter, gives us his thoughts.
Also in the podcast, former BBC digital chief Ashley Highfield becomes CEO of Johnston Press in one of the most surprising appointments the industry has known - but can Highfield make a viable digital business model out of the local press?
Plus, we wonder what Andy Parfitt will do next after stepping down as controller of Radio 1 (having lumped his successor with another two-and-a-half years of Chris Moyles).
Finally, we look at ITV's system of micropayments. Would you pay to watch Coronation Street and The Only Way is Essex?
Media Talk's taking a break for a few weeks - further developments in the phone-hacking scandal notwithstanding - but it will be back with John Plunkett at the helm. Matt's off to New York, and if you want to share your tearful memories of a half-decade of podding, please leave your feedback on the blog below. We've come a long way since this.

Brookfield boys battle to scoreless tie with Masuk
Updated 11:21 pm, Thursday, October 10, 2013
BROOKFIELD -- The chances were there, but none of them ended up in the back of the net for the Brookfield High boys soccer team, which battled to a scoreless tie with Masuk on Thursday night.
Brookfield goalkeeper Tommy Burkhart made five saves and Masuk goalkeeper Neil McCarter made four in a rematch of last year's South-West Conference quarterfinals, which Brookfield won.
"It's nice to get that shutout because we're really known as a defensive team," said Brookfield senior Steven Almeida. "We've been letting that slip lately, but it was good to get the shutout today. In the second half, we definitely had our chances. We just need to get the ball on net more and we'll score."
Entering Thursday's action, there was quite a logjam in the SWC standings, as the top 11 teams all had legitimate chances to claim a spot in the eight-team conference tournament, which is set to begin on Oct. 25. That means several good teams will be left out in the cold come playoff time, and every point in the standings is important.
"At this point of the year, it's very important to win or tie," Brookfield coach Mark Lukas said, "because if you look at the top of the league, there are a lot of teams that are just a loss away from dropping or a win away from (moving up)."
Brookfield came awfully close to winning Thursday's game, missing by mere inches on several occasions.
Lucas Rodrigues rang a shot off the crossbar from close range with less than five minutes remaining in the first half. In the opening minutes of the second half, Sam Stueck fired a shot just over the crossbar from about 25 yards out. Several minutes later, McCarter gobbled up a header from Austin DaSilva in front of the net off a long throw-in.
Rodrigues just missed on two more chances from inside of 10 yards later in the second half. With 5:49 remaining, Masuk's Tre Bonaparte was issued a yellow card after he took down Brookfield's Nick Ribeiro. Ribeiro's ensuing kick from 35 yards out was corralled by McCarter amid a swarm of Brookfield attackers.
"It was a hard-fought game, and these are both balanced teams, which is why you see the result the way it was," Masuk coach Antonio Viscuso said. "It would've been nice to get out of here with a win, but with a tie, that gets us into states, so we'll take it, no question."
Brookfield and Masuk played two close games last year, battling to a 1-1 tie in the regular season before Brookfield won in the SWC quarterfinals 2-1.
Records: Masuk 5-3-3; Brookfield 6-2-3, 6-1-3.
Goalies: M--Neil McCarter (4 saves); B--Tommy Burkhart 5 saves).

'Se Bag Se Mor' (by Turlough O'Carolan PD) 3:22 arranged and performed by David West: solo guitar In 1972 David co-founded the 'Cache Valley Drifters,' a modern-style bluegrass band that recorded four albums and toured North America for 12 years. Since leaving the band in 1984, David has worked as a freelance musician, playing as a sideman in recording sessions with many well-known artists. As a staff producer and recording artist for C.M.H. Records in L.A. (the 'Pickin' On' series) and Taxim Records in Germany,he has produced over 60 albums. They have involved various groups as well as a reunion album of the Cache Valley Drifters and 2 well-received solo albums released in Europe and the U.S. He recorded this demo especially (and perfectly)for this CD. It is my favorite melody ever. Producer: Patty Tierney Tierney Productions 2003 History of Cold Spring Tavern Cold Spring Tavern is a historical landmark built in 1868. It was a stagecoach relay station until the railroad came through in 1907. The Ovington family bought this 40-acre parcel in the mountains of Santa Barbara in 1941. Cold Spring has always been recognized for serving fine food and featuring the best music. Today travelers arrive by means other than stagecoaches. Now it's motorcycles, cars, trucks, limosines, vintage cars, Corvette clubs, bicycles, and sometimes horses. I am proud to say there is no television reception, no sports, no pool table, no darts, and no foozball. Cold Spring Tavern is all about music, fine dining, meeting friends, and enjoying an escape to clean air, spring water, and the great outdoors. I have worked as the bartender at Cold Spring Tavern almost every weekend since 1989, and have had the privilege to hear not only these great musicians, but also many, many others who hopefully will be on Volumes 2 and 3, and so on, and so on. I thank all of them. Patty Tierney, Producer Tierney Productions 2003.

Hi all, I would like to mention an issue about embellished operators that was reported ten years ago in Bugzilla. Consider the files given as attachment. In the XHTML page, two embellished operators are used as scripts of a <underover/>. The screenshot shows a sample rendering: the two arrows are correctly stretched to the size of the base of the <underover/>. However, the center of the children are aligned and, because of the size added by the embellishments, the arrows do not cover the base of the <underover/>. I suppose you agree that the expected rendering would be to align the arrows with the base, using some kind of automatic positioning for the scripts? Now, MathML3 introduces a new attribute "align" for munderover (and under/over), that can only takes three values: "left" | "right" | "center". In the example I give, none of these values will give the expected result. It seems to me that either a new default value "auto" should be added or say that automatic alignment of embellished operator overrides the value of the align attribute. I think the latter is better: auto would be redundant with center in all the other cases, I don't see why one would refuse to align the stretched symbol with the base and (for munderover) this will allow to apply automatic positioning to only one of the two scripts. Frédéric Wang
