KU Leuven is dedicated to education and research in nearly all fields. Its fifteen faculties offer education, while research activities are organized by the departments and research groups. These faculties and departments, in turn, are clustered into three groups: Humanities and Social Sciences, Science, Engineering and Technology (SET), and Biomedical Sciences. Each of these groups has a doctoral school for its doctoral training programmes.
We believe that the inclusion and collaboration of people with diverse backgrounds, nationalities and cultures enriches the workplace and inspires new perspectives, insights and ideas. Hence, KU Leuven seeks to create an environment where all talents are nurtured, irrespective of gender, age, cultural background, nationality or any disability.
At KU Leuven, our aim is for every employee to feel satisfied at work. That's why we want to support you in your personal development by encouraging self-direction and empowerment. Moreover, we offer you a broad range of career prospects, flexible and tailored to your interests.
As we prioritise the wellbeing of our employees, we want to help you achieve a balance between work and other aspects of your life. We also seek to build a positive and sustainable relationship between each employee and the organisation, with particular attention to psychosocial wellbeing.
We seek to recruit, engage, challenge, foster and inspire talented and
driven individuals. Both national and international candidates, and
academics as well as other professionals.
Yes, working at KU Leuven is quite unique. Why, you may ask? Because innovative insights come to you every day. Because you continuously face new challenges. Because you discover more about who you are, push your boundaries, fulfil your ambitions.
KU Leuven PhD student Apeksha Shapeti studies angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels grow from pre-existing ones. Now pay attention because angiogenesis research has important implications for cancer research and tissue engineering. Tumour cells, like healthy cells, need the oxygen and nutrients found in blood to survive. Understanding how a tumour's environment causes blood vessels to grow could offer clues for how to modify the microenvironment to stop them growing. In a similar vein (sorry), angiogenesis research is vital to improving tissue engineering techniques. One of the major challenges in the field right now is that a synthetic scaffold needs to connect to the body's circulatory system in order to be functional.

good day.
i'm busy downloading the java sdk to start my journey down the path of becoming a java bean.
i've got an simple app thati want to try building (i know i havea large learning curve to get over)...
i want to create an app that would take an input string and convert each character to a different character, eg. abcd would become bcde. But i know that using a search and replace function as:
replace a with b, b with c, d with e means that my program will give me a string if i where to build the step line by line
1: bbcd
2: cccd
3: dddd
4: eeee
how would you do a selective search and replace or translating or encoding (i dont know what to lable it)... without encountering the above
thank you in advanced ( and for not critizing my lack of knowledge yet)

You are getting closer,
I can hear the crunch of soft sand
the skitter of stones beneath your boots.
Your scent fills my flared nostrils
And your hands of steel butterflies
float over proud bones luring me
to the killing fields.
Your fingers are the scent of
tanned leather,
I lick them like fresh flesh wounds.
Your feathered crop gently brushes my shoulders,
no one can save me now, there is nothing to do,
because you have always known how
to break wild horses.

After more than 18 months of negotiating with neighbors and community members, and despite a lack of much-sought-after support from near neighbors, Chestnut Hill College is moving ahead with plans to obtain Institutional Development District status for the two parcels of land that now comprise its campus.
The college won approval for its master plan from the Philadelphia City Planning Commission but has failed to close the negotiations with neighbors, sparking a public feud.
Members of the negotiating group were surprised at the April 19 PCPC hearing to learn that the college's master plan was up for approval. According to group member and near neighbor George Thomas, the college made misleading statements about the nature of the planning commission hearing. Sister Carol Jean Vale, president of the college, disagreed and said she thought the college had verbal approval for the plan.
Thomas and Vale have been meeting regularly as part of a negotiating group, which is comprised of members of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, Chestnut Hill Business Association, Friends of the Wissahickon, Chestnut Hill Historical Society, representatives of the Houston family and near neighbors. The group was established by resolution of the CHCA in 2009 and empowered to work with the college to address the community's concerns.
The group has spent countless, volunteer hours looking at the college's master plan proposal.
"I think we have significantly protected the community," said the group's chairman Larry McEwen, a Chestnut Hill resident, architect and co-chair of the CHCA's Design Review Committee.
McEwen points to several major changes the group was able to negotiate with the college. To preserve view corridors, both for near neighbors and as traffic enters Chestnut Hill, the college agreed to move development on the SugarLoaf site 350 feet from the road.
"As you drive in, things will look as they do now," Vale said.
The bulk of the new campus will be built on the crest of SugarLoaf Hill.
The college has also agreed to build its performing arts center on the main campus and not on SugarLoaf as it had originally intended. Plans for additional dormitories and 150 parking spaces have all been moved to the main campus to diminish increased traffic at Germantown Avenue and Bells Mill Road.
"The neighbors wanted every end tied up before taking any action on any aspect of the IDD," Vale said.
Vale said the college needed to move forward and was urged by its legal counsel and its board of directors to move on from the negotiations.
"The 18 months of intense planning has made it impossible for us to move forward with fundraising," she said.
The college agreed to extend the deadline for its application several times during the negotiations, which are ongoing.
"I have complete faith that everything is moving in the right direction," Vale said. "Our neighbors are important to us, and we are committed to doing what we have to do to make them comfortable."
Down the hill, Thomas categorized the college and the community association as implacable and self-serving.
"There was no agreement on the master plan," Thomas said, although he left some room for improvement. "The general tenure of the plan can be made tenable if and when the college gets serious about listening to the major issues."
According to McEwen, the negotiations were divided into four parts – the master plan, the zoning district, the Community Development Agreement and the easements.
All seem to agree that the discussions and changes to the master plan are the farthest along. The college has made major concessions including the removal of a walkway and pedestrian bridge on the SugarLoaf campus as late as last week.
Thomas said he remains concerned that the plan calls for building in excess of the 20 percent Wissahickon Watershed restriction. McEwen explained that only one part of the property is restricted to 20 percent development (the other allows for 100 percent). He also noted that the portion to be developed has already been disturbed and that the college's construction will not be the first development on that particular site.
Robert Vance, president of Friends of the Wissahickon, released a statement supporting the ongoing negotiations and said he felt "very optimistic about the outcome."
Further, the college has agreed to limit its new construction using an innovative method designed by the group. In lieu of creating a plan that defines what the college will build, the new plan designates "aquariums" that define how much they can build. The aquariums denote the building volume and massing, height and site placement, effectively limiting the college to a total footprint of 370,000 square feet of new buildable space and preserving the view corridors.
"We are trying to be as sensitive as we can to the site, the environment and to the neighbors," Vale said.
Thomas and other near neighbors vehemently disagree that the college is being sensitive. He and Robert Shusterman continue to advocate for a zoning overlay and remain fundamentally opposed to an IDD designation (see page 7).
"It is outrageous what an IDD permits," Thomas said. "At any time City Council can amend the master plan."
Thomas and the neighbors fear an IDD would eliminate their ability to intercede in future development. It is a main sticking point for both sides. When the negotiations began, the group agreed to write a CDA, community development agreement that would outline specific stipulations for the college's development. It would become part of the IDD legislation.
Thomas said the document in its current form, which was written to protect the community and the college, is an agreement that "no one would sign." In return for the college's assurance to act within the agreed upon stipulations, the college is seeking assurances that none of the parties involved will change course and file grievances down the road.
For Thomas, that means he must trust the entity entrusted to negotiate and enforce the agreement – the CHCA.
"It's like having your idiot uncle in charge of your community," Thomas said. "The agreement is only good if the CHCA is willing to fight for it."
The college heads back to the planning commission on May 17 to discuss the remapping of the site, which now includes both campuses, for an IDD. (Initially the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who own the college and the main campus did not consent to the IDD for the main campus, but have since reconsidered and have joined the proposal.)
McEwen said he believed that the group could conclude its final negotiations on the easements of the site. The college is prepared to add additional easements to the portions of the SugarLoaf property that will not be built upon, according to the new master plan.
The bulk of the parameter is already restricted by the Pennsylvania Growing Greener program through which the college received $1 million towards the purchase of the property.
The college has indicated its willingness to create easements for up to 85 percent of the non-buildable land over time in return for the community's cooperation. In order to do that, however, the college must be able to convince its bank that the property is worth the amount of the loan with limited ability to develop the land.
If the college were able to promise the additional easements, the CDA would allow an additional 130,000 gross square feet of development on SugarLoaf Hill and a total of 300,000 gross square feet on new development on the main campus. The stipulations would become part of the college's IDD legislation controlling the maximum build out – far below what is permitted under a standard IDD.
Thomas remains unconvinced that the college is acting in the interest of the community and even more so that allowing an IDD in Chestnut Hill is in the best interest of any community in Philadelphia.
"If Chestnut Hill College gets an IDD, then every institution is going to have this tool, every community is going to be under attack and Chestnut Hill, the character, the charm, will disappear," he said.

The Other Woman Movie
A husband's wife and his two mistress find out about each other and team up to get back at the philanderer
When Cameron Diaz, a type-A corporate attorney — you know this because she wears power skirts and taps officiously on a laptop in a Manhattan skybox office the size of a swimming pool — gets swept off her feet by a dashing businessman (Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), it all seems too good to be true. Because of course, it is: It turns out he's got a wife in Connecticut (Leslie Mann) and a barely-legal blond (Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton) in the Hamptons.
Mann, a maniac in floral capri pants, actually makes her mannerisms work here; she's so stunned by her husband's betrayal that she latches onto Diaz like a kewpie-doll barnacle, and the movie becomes an inspired oddball buddy comedy for a good half hour, until the pair track down Upton and all three — "the wife, the lawyer, the boobs" — join forces to take Coster-Waldau down. That's when the movie (directed by Nick Cassavetes, probably best known for The Notebook) gets sillier, and a lot more slapstick. Yes, the guy's a cheating asshat, but do we really need Wile E. Coyote tricks like laxatives in his Scotch and female hormones in his morning smoothie?
Nicki Minaj, as Diaz's ruthlessly bodacious assistant, and Taylor Kinney, as Mann's sane, handsome brother, both have nice turns, but The Other Woman really is, in its own broad-strokes way, about just these women, and female friendship. Sisterhood comedies, as rare as they are in the testosterone glut of sequels and superheroes, have been done smarter and better. Still, this one has its own wonky charm and intermittent moments of genuine, depraved hilarity; it's like Bridesmaids drawn in crayon. B-

Confidence in security of deposits under 100,000 euros shattered
Paul Joseph Watson

Former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling has warned that the raiding of people's saving accounts in Cyprus could trigger bank runs across Europe.
Darling said that the unprecedented step of looting banks account of those with 100,000 euros or less could lead to a collapse in confidence because it "blows apart" the notion that such sums are protected.
"They have actually now said to people 'We will come after your deposits, no matter how small your savings are' and that seems to me to make it more likely that, if you are a saver in Spain or in Italy, for example, and you have just the sniff of the EU or the IMF coming your way, you will take your money out and you will get a run on the bank," he told BBC Radio Four's Today show.
Highlighting the case of Northern Rock, a UK bank that became the first in 150 years to suffer a bank run, leading to its collapse, Darling warned that the precedent set in Cyprus could cause chaos.
"I'm not suggesting that tomorrow morning everybody in Southern Europe is going to take their money out of their banks," he said. "We saw with Northern Rock, everything can be fine on day, and even though I said the Government was standing behind people's money, we saw queues grow and grow and grow because people thought they were doing the right thing getting their money out."
Darling concluded that the way the European Union had handled the issue illustrated how the EU was beginning to "unravel".
Others such as Pimco CEO Mohamed El-Erian have also warned that the brazen looting of people's bank accounts could trigger civil unrest.
Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman also raised the prospect of bank runs, writing, "It's as if the Europeans are holding up a neon sign, written in Greek and Italian, saying 'time to stage a run on your banks!'"
Italians will certainly not be comforted by German Commerzbank chief Joerg Kraemer's call for a 15% tax on all financial assets.
With the Cypriot government struggling to gain support for the bailout bill in parliament, a new draft would spare those with 20,000 euros or less from having their savings looted. However, this new version would create a €400m funding gap.
Cyprus central bank chief Panicos Demetriades warns that unless savers with up to 100,000 euros are spared from the tax, the Mediterranean island's banks will lose 10% of their deposit base within days.
After Vladimir Putin described the bank levy as "dangerous and unfair," Vladimir Chizhov, Russia's envoy to the EU, labeled the tax as an act of "forceful expropriation," adding that it threatened to cause a collapse of Cyprus' whole banking system.

Internet activist and computer prodigy Aaron Swartz, who helped create an early version of the Web feed system RSS and was facing US federal criminal charges in a controversial fraud case, has committed suicide at age 26, authorities said on Saturday.
Police found Swartz's body in his apartment in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on Friday, according to a spokeswoman for the city's chief medical examiner, which ruled the death a suicide by hanging.
Swartz is widely credited with being a co-author of the specifications for the Web feed format RSS 1.0, which he worked on at age 14, according to a blog post on Saturday from his friend, science fiction author Cory Doctorow.
RSS, which stands for Rich Site Summary, is a format for delivering to users content from sites that change constantly, such as news pages and blogs.
Over the years, he became an online icon for helping to make a virtual mountain of information freely available to the public, including an estimated 19 million pages of federal court documents from the PACER case-law system.
"Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves," Swartz wrote in an online "manifesto" dated 2008.
"The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations ... sharing isn't immoral — it's a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy," he wrote.
That belief — that information should be shared and available for the good of society — prompted Swartz to found the non-profit group Demand Progress.
The group led a successful campaign to block a bill introduced in 2011 in the US House of Representatives called the Stop Online Piracy Act.
The bill, which was withdrawn amid public pressure, would have allowed court orders to curb access to certain Web sites deemed to be engaging in illegal sharing of intellectual property.
Swartz and other activists objected on the grounds it would give the government too many broad powers to censor and squelch legitimate Web communication.
However, Swartz faced trouble in July 2011 when he was indicted by a federal grand jury of wire fraud, computer fraud and other charges related to allegedly stealing millions of academic articles and journals from a digital archive at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
According to the federal indictment, Swartz — who was a fellow at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics — used MIT's computer networks to steal more than 4 million articles from JSTOR, an online archive and journal distribution service.
JSTOR did not press charges against Swartz after the digitized copies of the articles were returned, according to media reports.
Swartz, who pleaded not guilty to all counts, faced 35 years in prison and a US$1 million fine if convicted. He was released on bond. His trial was scheduled to start later this year.
In a statement released on Saturday, the family and partner of Swartz praised his "brilliance" and "profound" commitment to social justice, and struck out at what they said were decisions made at MIT and by prosecutors that contributed to his death.
"Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy. It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach," the statement said.

I have to admit: It was only after signing up to write this article that I realized I had never really thought much about office plants before… that is, at least not the kinds of plants that live inside an office. As an exterior designer, I deal almost exclusively with outdoor spaces and, therefore, with plants that do not really fall into the category of what we commonly refer to as house or office plants. Consequently, as I began to prepare for my writing assignment, I experienced what can only be described as the beginnings of a slight panic attack. As I continued, however, I realized that good design applies just as much to indoor office plantings as it does to outdoor plantings, and many of the same principles that guide garden design are just as applicable inside an office. Whew, panic attack averted!
A trio of flapjack kalanchoe (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora) adds life to a rack of organizing bins. Their placement mimics that of the bins, yet their unique form and common terra-cotta containers stand in stark contrast to the rigid plastic tubs and stainless-steel shelves.
For me, a garden is decidedly manmade, a deliberately arranged space. After all, no matter how natural or realistic a garden is designed to be, it is, by its very nature, contrived. Furthermore, a garden (along with its plantings) is meant to activate one or more of the five senses. In other words, it sets a specific mood and engages the visitor; and so it is with indoor spaces and plantings as well. So, why should designing for the attractive and effective use of office plants be so different from doing the same thing outside in the garden? With this in mind, I decided to use my own office as a testing ground for learning more about this living form of decoration. I hope the results will stimulate and inspire you to grow your own success story by adding a little stylish green to your workspace.
As I began my design experiment, I first asked the question: "Why?" What are the reasons for having office plants in the first place? The primary answer for me is pure aesthetics… just as it is with a garden. Sure, many modern-day garden spaces have functional and aesthetic value (to provide a venue for education, outdoor dining or playing children), but their main purpose is simply to be beautiful. The same is true for the plants in our offices, and it seems perfectly logical to create an atmosphere that is visually appealing to clients and workers alike. I mean, who would not rather go to work in a space that incorporates beautiful, living plants than one that is devoid of such life? I don't think many of us need much convincing on this point, or I hope not.
In addition to making our working environment more attractive, it turns out there are also some rather convincing scientific arguments for bringing plants into our workspaces. For starters, many indoor plants contribute to cleaner, healthier air by removing contaminants such as carbon monoxide, ammonia and even cigarette smoke. This has been shown to reduce headaches, fatigue, cold-related illness and even to lower blood pressure. Similarly, plants are known to lower stress levels and to improve our overall mood, so it is perhaps not surprising then that plants lead to increased efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Aesthetics aside, as an employer and business owner, I can tell you this was just about all the reason I needed to turn my office into a veritable jungle! It is no wonder that the indoor plant-care business is thriving, and large corporations across the world are filling their headquarters with live plants.
Left: The dark leaves and funky inflorescences of this Peperomia sp. look great in silhouette against a frosted window in the kitchen's coffee station and enjoy the filtered light the window provides. The bright orange container provides an eye-catching pop of color amid the otherwise monochromatic countertop and walls. Top Right: Air plants and orchids are right at home in the office washroom, where they can be easily watered and thrive in the extra humidity. The yellow container and gnarly piece of sandblasted grapevine add color and texture to the arrangement and stand out beautifully against the sleek counter and glass sink. Bottom Right: Offering long bloom cycles with relatively low light and water demands, orchids are hard to beat for color and beauty when it comes to choosing a plant for your office or workspace.
So, how does one begin selecting particular plants for the office? Just like in the garden, there are a few technical issues to consider. These primarily include the sunlight, water and temperature requirements of the plant, as well as any fertilization or additional care it will need. Not to worry, though — these things are the easy part, as they should be clearly identified on the plant's identification tag, and most common indoor plants are relatively low maintenance anyway. For additional advice, you can also always consult your friendly local nursery.
A towering fiddleleaf fig (Ficus lyrata) brings the outdoors to a workstation with an otherwise limited view. The simple container keeps the focus on the intriguing form of the tree's huge, glossy leaves.
It is in the design decisions regarding your office plantings, rather than the technical requirements, where the potential for growing success truly lies, and there are several things to consider. The first, uniqueness, is the criterion I focused on the most when devising my planting scheme. I wanted office plants that would not feel or look like "office" plants and offer an unexpected, atypical beauty. I achieved this primarily by choosing plants that feature strong form and structure. In most cases, their shape alone is intriguing enough to stand out and provide interest. Color is also an important factor when choosing your plants, and while we think of most plants simply as green, the many subtle differences in shades can be used to great effect. Blooming plants, and those with white, purple or maroon leaves, are also great opportunities for creative design expressions. Finally, give careful thought to the placement of your office plants. Rather than just plopping something green down in the corner, consider how all of the aforementioned physical qualities of your plant relate to its immediate surroundings and the office as a whole. Choose plants that extend the intended mood and ambience of your work environment, either through uniformity or through contrast. Indoor plants can even relate to what is outside the office and, in fact, are a great way to blur the lines between indoors and out.
Closely related to the attributes of the specific plants you choose are the characteristics of the decorative containers that will house them. Choosing the proper container can effectively make or break your office plantings in terms of both appearance and health. For the most part, indoor plants are sold in appropriately sized growing containers, but over the long term, plants should periodically be repotted in slightly larger containers to promote healthy root growth and foliar rejuvenation. From an aesthetic standpoint, think again about those factors that drove your plant choices (uniqueness, color, texture and overall form), and let these same criteria guide your container selection. Choose containers that match the mood and statement of the plants themselves and, of course, that complement your office décor as a whole.

Browsing Ph.D. theses by Author "Riis, Philip Holst"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
From Vendors to CustomersRiis, Philip Holst (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Enterprise Systems (ES) are generally considered the price of entry for running a business. With the increased scope of ESs to encompass nearly every function or business process of a modern organization, an increasing number of different users are adopting and using the systems. These users occupy a number of different organizational roles which include a wide variety of different tasks in organizations and have very different requirements for ESs. To ensure a better fit between users and ESs, a number of ES vendors have begun to focus on reflecting the concept of organizational roles of users in their systems. Limited research has, however, addressed these "role-oriented" ESs; this dissertation attempts to provide a better understanding of them by studying their design, implementation, and use. The research design for this dissertation is based on Case Studies and the Grounded Theory Method with qualitative empirical data collected across three types of actors in an ES ecosystem: Vendors; partner companies; and customers. The findings are primarily presented in six appended research papers that are aimed at both researchers and practitioners. The main contribution of the dissertation is an improved understanding of: Representation of organizational roles in the deep and surface structures of ESs; the mapping, configuration, and tailoring of predefined systems roles to fit actual roles of users in organizations; and the potential benefits and role-related misfits of role-oriented ESs. Through discussion of the findings, the dissertation also illustrates how the design of role-oriented ESs is influenced by the different actors in an ecosystem. The dissertation also illustrates how systems, organizations, processes, and roles can be aligned during implementation by shifting basis and conceptual focus in the requirements analysis. Finally, the dissertation explains the impact of roleoriented technology on organizational performance and how this technology may influence the existing perception of the role taking process in organizations.

The driver of this yellow cab apparently crashed into the back of this Ferrari F430 Spider in a Las Vegas parking lot over the weekend. The cabbie caused no serious damage to the Ferrari, but the Ferrari owner caused serious damage to him.
Car accidents, even minor ones, cause people to get upset. It happens. But it gives you no right to punch the person who lightly bangs into your car. Could this Ferrari owner act even more like what we all expect Ferrari owners to act like?
And then, at the same time, if you're going to get punched at least punch back or have the dignity to not cry in public. Or, in this case, wail in public. Curiously, the crying cabbie approaches the man's car and the 'roid-raging Ferrari owner thwacks him again.
I sort of hate everyone in this video, including the people who refused to help out this poor guy, but I definitely hate the guy in the Ferrari most.

Ex-senator Scott Brown thinks about comeback in N.H.
Former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown is apparently thinking about running for office again ... from New Hampshire.
Five months after Brown lost his re-election bid in the Bay State and then took a pass on running in the upcoming special Senate election to succeed John Kerry, the moderate Republican is contemplating a political comeback in the state he calls his "second home."
"I don't think I'm done with politics, but I'm not going to rule out anything right now because I really haven't thought a heck of a lot about it," Brown said after a speech in New Hampshire, according to The Boston Globe.
Democrats are having a field day with this one. In New Hampshire, the state Democratic Party has sent out two fundraising pitches since Brown's comments were first reported. "Are you kidding me?!" reads one message from Raymond Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic Party chairman.
Brown stressed his ties to New Hampshire, including owning a summer house in Rye, N.H., the fact that his mom and sister and other family live in the state, and that he was born at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. "I've been a taxpayer for 20 years," he said. "It's not a far drive, either."
Brown's comments immediately sparked a question about whether he's eyeing a Senate race in 2014 against Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the ex-senator said he's "recharging his batteries" but "not going to rule anything out right now."
Hmmm ... Stay tuned.

We all know about the stratospheric growth emerging markets have experienced as a result of globalization, but here's a little statistic that illustrates the full extent of its impact.
"Just 2% of markets in the developing world were investment grade in 1993," said Richard Lawrence, senior vice president and director of institutional client service with Brandywine Global Investment Management. "Today that figure is 60%."
Lawrence made his comment during a panel discussion of top investment managers and executives at Curian Capital's top advisor conference in Chicago in late May.
Moderated by Steve Young, senior vice president of asset management and chief investment officer at Curian, it boasted two panel members with more than 25 years of experience and one with 23 years.
T. Rowe Price Equity Series investment board member Stephon Jackson, who delivered the domestic equity outlook, noted that, "Currently, we're seeing a realization among investors that equities are once again an attractive asset class. The world is seeing markets as half-full rather than half-empty."
He said Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has indicated he will do "whatever it takes" to keep the economy moving forward, but structural unemployment, driven by the fact that "we don't make anything," is acting as a drag on the economy.
Jackson said that T. Rowe Price, which has $600 billion in assets under management (70% in equities), is research-focused, and has "relatively low turnover in the portfolio. We dive deep into each holding to achieve solid, risk-adjusted returns over time."
The firm is underweight energy, but at the same time is "positioned to move quickly into the sector if the situation warrants." On a blue-chip basis, it's "heavy in technology." He added the convergence of mobile technology, in particular, is an ongoing trend, and mentioned companies like American Tower (AMT), a wireless infrastructure company.
"Be prepared to hear the word 'taper,' which is all about how far and how fast the Fed will eventually unwind all the liquidity and roll back the bond buying," he concluded. "Moving forward, we see modest U.S. growth, a modest contraction in Europe, and emerging markets will do better. All of this adds up to a good environment for equities."
Lawrence then took the global bond outlook.
"How do you make bonds interesting? Stick a bond guy between two equity managers," he said to laughter.
He began by noting the U.S. bond market has been very good to investors for the past 25 years, with relatively low volatility and steady returns.
"We'd be the first to say if you look at bonds through the index, it's a mediocre story," he conceded. "But we think the index is a poor area to start in bond investing if you're looking to give your clients what they need."
The reason, Lawrence explained, is that U.S. bonds have returned 5% in recent years, and global fixed income has done a little less than 6%, but with far more volatility.
"If you drop it into a Monte Carlo simulation, the recommended allocation to global fixed income is zero," he said. "Why? It's because of the index. But bond investing is intuitively an active strategy."
U.S. fixed income has performed well in the past, he said, but is currently one of the worst performing markets, second only to Japan.
"Additionally, you would miss out on places like Australia, Poland, Canada and Sweden. They're all AAA-rated and have double-digit or near double-digit returns," he concluded.
Lazard Asset Management's Michael Powers, a portfolio manager and analyst on Lazard's global and international equity teams, rounded out the panel with a discussion of international equities.
"We invest in both developed and emerging markets," he said. When asked about investing in the Middle East, Powers explained, "we can potentially invest in emerging market countries, but a number of countries in the Middle East are considered frontier markets, which are outside of our investment universe."
Powers noted that Lazard is 165 years old and has $172 billion in assets under management. Non-US equity portfolios constitute a large percentage of that AUM.
Powers believes Europe offers attractive return prospects for the long-term equity investor, primarily based on three factors: Europe is realizing the benefits of reform, European revenue sources are increasingly global and many European countries appear to be attractively valued.
Curian's Young followed up with a question about Europe's negative tail risk.
"2012 was likely the peak intensity of Europe's sovereign debt problems" Powers answered. "We believe the eurozone will likely remain in modest recession in 2013, with modest growth expected next year and beyond. Furthermore, the bond and stock markets in southern Europe are showing signs of improvement. The yield on 10-year Spanish and Italian sovereign debt is approximately 4% today compared to over 7% about a year ago, and the stock markets in those countries have also started to improve."

Martinez arrives to camp early, ready to catch if asked
LAKELAND, Fla. -- If there was any doubt that Victor Martinez still considers himself a catcher, at least part-time, the sight of Detroit's likely cleanup hitter walking into the Tigers' clubhouse Thursday morning and unpacking new catching gear might well have erased it.
Tigers pitchers and catchers officially begin workouts Friday. Other Tigers position players aren't due in until full-squad workouts begin Tuesday. That seemingly would include Martinez, who's slated to serve as Detroit's regular designated hitter. His surgically repaired knees don't lend themselves toward catching on a regular basis anymore.
Martinez, though, played three games behind the plate last season, even though he didn't catch at all in Spring Training. Two of those starts happened in an Interleague series against the Mets, keeping his hot bat in the lineup in games when Detroit didn't have the DH slot available.
Martinez didn't catch at all last spring while working his way back into game condition following a lost 2012 season. He might not catch this spring, either, but he wants to be ready.
"Like I've said, I'm ready to do whatever they need me to do," Martinez said.

Omnium1 tablet is not charging
In case of consistent or intermittent charging issues, please contact your SBS service centre.
Touch screen not responsive
The tablet is equipped with capacitive touch screen technology, which means that whenever one of your fingersgets in touch with the screen surface, it creates a tiny electrical disturbance that sends signals to the tablet. There are people who have problems operating a touch screen primarily due to their skin conductivity. Pressing hard on the screen won't address the issue. One way to solve the issue is to use a capacitive stylus.
However, if you still are experiencing slow response even using a capacitive stylus, please contact SBS for further assistance.
Tablet seems to get sluggish and unstable. How to clean up?
Your Omnium1 tablet is built on Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 platform, and like any other rather sophisticated operating systems, over time it may get slowed down due to software application caching, temporary files, etc. created and left over during the usage or during improper shutdown and application crashes. Sometimes this even caused system instability, system refuses to boot-up properly (i.e. boot screen logo keep flashing up in a loop).
The easiest way to "clean-up" your system is by clearing your system cache partition without losing your existing data. Follow the steps below.
- Shutdown your tablet (or push the reset pin if tablet fails to shutdown or response)
- Press POWER and VOLUME (+) button at the same time to bring out the boot menu
- Use VOL (+) button to move selection to [Recovery Mode] and press VOL (-) to select
- At the Android Mascott Screen, press POWER button once to bring up the next menu
- Use VOL (-) button to move selection to [wipe cache partition] and then press VOL (+) once to select
- Press VOL (+) to reboot your tablet
Tablet does not boot up, even when plugged into the wall
There are several possible problems:
- Your tablet might be frozen. Insert a pin into the reset pinhole and reset the tablet.
- The wall adapter is faulty and fails to charge the tablet properly. Please contact your SBS service centre for further advice.
The tablet is getting warm/hot at the backside
Please ensure your firmware is updated to the latest version. If you have already updated to the latest firmware, then this may due to faulty 20 pin flat cable, D/A converter or tablet hardware issue. Please contact your nearest SBS service centre for further assistance.
Note: Avoid extreme bending of the 20 pin flat cable as this may damage the cable and cause a short circuit.
Replacing the battery?
The lifetime of the built in lithium battery pack is calculated with around 500 recharge cycles (depending on various circumstances). Over time the battery pack may need to be replaced. Please contact your SBS service centre for the replacement cost.
Replacing the screen?
Please contact your SBS service centre for the replacement cost and procedure.
SD Card reading error
The maximum micro-SD card size supported is 32GB.
If your SD Card is 32GB or less and still cannot be read by the tablet, reformat the SD Card with your PC or Mac (Fat 32, exFAT) as your current SD card format may not be recognized by the system or is corrupted.
Attention: All data will be erased.

This post is dedicated to the Census Bureau's Associate Director of Communications Steve Jost: More pay delays for Western North Carolina census workersSaturday, May 15th, 2010
Even though spin doctor Steve Jost, tried to Jost-ify the Census Bureau's failure to pay its employees properly and on time in the comments section of this blog, this latest report from North Carolina details how Congressman Heath Shuler had to step in to enable emergency checks to be issued to Census Bureau employees — checks that are yet to arrive. Thanks to Julie Ball of the Citizen Times for the following:
ASHEVILLE — Some Western North Carolina census workers are still waiting on emergency checks after payroll problems caused some workers to get no or only partial pay this week.
Karla Gay, local census office manager for the city office, said those workers should have the emergency pay by next week, but she could not say for sure when.
"I know that there are people who are living paycheck to paycheck, and it's very important. I want them to know we are doing everything we can," Gay said Friday.
Workers who didn't request emergency pay won't get caught up on their pay until Wednesday, according to Gay.
"At this point, what we are telling folks really is to sit tight … people will be paid on Wednesday," said Tony Jones, with media relations for the Charlotte Regional Census Center.
U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler sent a letter Friday to U.S. Census officials urging them to resolve the problem.
Gay said between 5 and 8 percent of 1,100 workers who are doing census work in 11 WNC counties had pay problems, getting either no pay or partial pay Wednesday. She could not say how many of them requested emergency pay.
Of five states covered by the Charlotte regional office — North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia — the pay problem only occurred in the Asheville and Charlotte offices, according to Jones.
Jones didn't have an exact count, but said between 1 and 4 percent of the 1,300 workers in Charlotte either didn't get paid or got only a partial payment.
Census officials have attributed the pay problem to incomplete or unsigned pay sheets and problems with bank account numbers submitted by workers. But at least one worker has said there were no problems with her paperwork.
"We also had challenges here in the office with getting the volume of work in because it came in late," Gay said.
Unlike the 2000 Census when workers submitted weekly pay sheets, census workers must fill out and sign a pay sheet every day they work. Each individual sheet must then be audited.
Jones said there are people working "24-seven" on nothing but payroll.
Some WNC workers who didn't get paid have contacted Shuler's office and U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan's office to complain about the problem.
Stephanie Allen, spokeswoman for Hagan, said the office is turning the information over to U.S. Census officials.
Julie Fishman, communications director for Shuler, said if census workers are having trouble with their pay, they can call Shuler's office at 252-1651 and leave their name and the city/town they are working in.
Shuler's office is compiling the information and will send it directly to Charlotte.

We had the opportunity to take a look at just about every 4G Internet device and plan on the market today. There was a clear winner, and the pun is not intended. CLEAR won hands down over the other providers for a variety of reasons. They are the perfect storm of mobile 4G providers not because of any one thing, but rather a combination of a number of variables such as:
Their devices – They have a USB Stick called Atlas that works very well out of the box and with any usb computer/tablet-with-usb-port/notebook/netbook/etc. They have the CLEAR Spot Voyager which is a really great 2 inch x 2 inch (or so) thin square device that lets you have a roaming access point to connect to where ever you go. It's great for long trips in the car, going to coffee shops, or wherever. You can actually turn it on, throw it back in your bag and forget about it. It lasts for many hours and multiple people can connect to it easily without an issue.
Finally they have the grand daddy of all the devices the CLEAR Modem w/Wi-Fi. It's super fast, brings your Internet connection to your location and allows you to plug a wired switch into it. You can run your entire small office network off it or your house network off it and you have all the basics that you would need such as port forwarding, security, etc… The best part of the CLEAR devices is they don't block ports outside of ports used for running a mail server or a web server. You don't want to run either of those things off of a 4G connection anyway so there is no loss there. This means you can run VOIP applications and save the cost of land line phone systems while you are at it. You'll need to know what you are doing to configure for jitter properly but I was able to successfully run a IPPBOX off the CLEAR Modem w/Wi-Fi and make good clear calls from 4 VOIP phones at the same time.
Another part of the perfect storm was service. They have great service in the more urban areas, and some not so urban areas. Is the coverage spotty in some places? Sure it is, use their coverage map to determine if it's a fit for you. However, chances are if you are in a larger-ish city you will have service. The speed is outstanding. I was able to benchmark over the period of 6 months average speeds of 5 – 8 megabit down and 1.25 – 1.8 megabit up. The service was always online, there wasn't anything henky with it and I really value the offering.
The last three pieces of the perfect storm and the reason Reviewboard Magazine calls CLEAR High-Speed 4G Mobile Internet Service the best 4G Mobile Internet Service in the United States, is Price, Data Limits, and Contract.
It's real simple, you are either paying $34.99 for a slow-ish 1.5Mbit down 500k up connection of $49.99 a month for (they say) 3-6 mbit down (we got 5-8) and 1mbit+ up. There is NO data limit, and NO CONTRACT. That just makes CLEAR a clear winner here. It also keeps them on their toes because if they don't keep upgrading… if they don't keep providing you with great service… you could head on down the road! No contracts means they have to consistently bring their A-Game.
We nominated CLEAR and they WON the Reviewboard Magazine 2012 Best Buy Award for the being the best 4G Mobile Internet Service provider in the United States. Their coverage map is growing all the time, and their service is really extraordinary. You can get the voyager here, the Atlas here, and the Clear Hub Express here.

Get Ready For Monday
We're currently at the tail end of a cold air mass that is sweeping the eastern U.S. With the last bit of that cold air close by Monday morning the temps are looking chilly; lows will be in the 40s across all of the viewing area. But, with the winds switching direction out of the southwest in the afternoon and the sun peaking through a few clouds... we're going to warm up. High temps will be in the upper 70s to 80° across NWAR and in the lower to mid 80s in the River Valley and throughout the Ouachitas. And there certainly will be enough sunshine Monday to warrent keeping the sunscreen handy if you're spending a lot of time outdoors. Mowing the lawn when you get home from work? Maybe hitting the baseball diamond? I've got two words for you... shorts & t-shirt. Enjoy your week foks!

There is a lot to fear from a cancer diagnosis. From the prospect of poverty due to the expense of treatment to the debilitating nature of the disease to the thought of actually dying, the fears are real. My biggest fear was how breast cancer would change me physically. I was afraid that I wouldn't be pretty anymore. I would lose my hair and my figure. I would look sick, and I was worried that I might never look the same again — even after treatment. I was especially afraid I wouldn't get to wear all the shoes I had, or new high heels, or slim leather boots. Seriously, that is what scared me the most. I am confessing to you that a breast cancer diagnosis broke the surface of my well-groomed exterior, but it only went down so far — I was shallow.
None of my accomplishments mattered to me. The fact that I had gone back to finish my bachelor's degree as a working single mother when I was forty, or surviving a divorce and keeping my boys in activities that were difficult to afford, or even moving my family to a new country — these were not what I reflected on. Instead, I thought about how for the first time in my adult life I had hair I loved and could manage and a weight and figure I was content with and how these would be impacted by cancer. In retrospect, however, I choose not to be too hard on myself about it. Women grow up with so much of their self-esteem attached to their appearance, it is hard to blame me for feeling that losing the little attractiveness I had would drastically affect my life.
There is indeed a lot to fear from cancer. Worries about finances, family, children and career are among the greatest, but all of us are thrust into facing our fears when that diagnosis comes. When I was going through treatment, Tim McGraw released a song about someone diagnosed with cancer who then went out and lived all his dreams. The title of the song is "Live Like You Were Dying." As great a song as it is, I hated it. I didn't have the money to run around the world completing a bucket list, and the treatment drained all the energy I had to even try. Fear didn't motivate me to suddenly chase my dreams. I realized I didn't need to dream — I had the life I wanted. Looking the way I did was a part of that life, and I was afraid I would lose it somehow. Truly, fear reminded me that I had a lot of work to do on my character. It also made me get three wigs, tons of makeup and several new pairs of shoes.
We all have fears that are suddenly thrust into the limelight when we get that cancer diagnosis. They are not right or wrong — they are simply ours, and cancer has a way of making us face them.
