Greater Giving from Global Payments offers fundraising and event management solution for nonprofits across different industries.It is capable of handling complex requirements of an auction and fundraising company. The solution allows fundraisers to build event registration web pages, create auction catalogs, bid sheets, receipts, and send emails to constituents. Online auction support and mobile bidding functionality help event planners streamline bidding process and automate check-in sheets.
Greater Giving software collects sponsor, vendor, volunteer, and donor contact information at the registration desk and stores information in a software database for tracking, reporting, and communication. Event organizers can then create seating charts and assign tables to the attendees.
Greater Giving's auctionpay module helps in managing and processing bid payments. Bidders can pre-register their credit card information upon check-in and swipe credit card post event to make final payments. The solution is available for a limited period free trial.

The customer service is very friendly and timely, the auction platform is superior to many others.
The auction portion of this product is really great. I've used this for many events and it is very efficient. Ticketed events are easy to set up, and you can really customize your event pages to your liking.
The reporting and export features work ok, but could be more robust. They have a mobil bidding platform, but that could also use more advancements as well.

This software is an exceptional tool for fundraising efforts. Event planners, auction chairs, and many more benefit from this software offering an organized and unique approach to fundraising. Mobile bidding, online auctions, and much more make this software engaging and easy to use from anywhere!
Initial use may be a challenge before you get used to the product. Learning curve for those that are not used to technology through mobile bidding and online auctions, however, the ease of use makes it easy to explain to a donor.

Overall it is a still a great software that has great functions and so far is the best I have used to run a large silent auction 50 items plus.
The software purchase covers features dealing with ticket sales, silent auction bids, community partners, sponsorship purchases and can safely store credit card information. Also, if your organization hosts more than one event per year you can add several events and track for no extra cost and store all donor information for those events.
The ease of use of this program is lacking. It is a bit confusing to run reports. It also doesn't make it very easy to set a Max capacity for an event and have it close down automatically. Someone has to go in and do so, or at least this is the experience we found. Also, you can only attach one checking/banking account to the software so if you have two large events and two separate accounts for them in order to use the software without having to repurchase you must stick to the one account.

Greater Giving provides all the functionality we need at a very reasonable price. The event registration and check-in/check-out process is easy and much appreciated by our guests. Silent auction online bidding has become very popular, and we've seen a dramatic increase in the amount of money raised through the auctions.
Nice set of features for the cost.
Online auctions have been a tremendous benefit for our organization
Admin interface is sometimes difficult to work with, and could use a redesign. Reporting is also a bit cumbersome.

The best thing about Greater Giving is the mobile capability that allows attendees at our annual gala to bid on silent auction items from their seats. We've yet to find this capability with any other fundraising software.
I'm a newer user and still getting used to the platform, but I'd love for it to be more user-friendly.

Like stated before Greater Giving is an amazing software and it makes it very easy to run your event through it. You are able to easily track ticket sales, input silent auction items, sell silent auction items, store vendor/partner information.
I love the easy access to those working with you (staff) and later for those using the Silent Auction feature the ease for those that sign up to be able to see the items and receive notifactions.
Overall it is a great product. There are a few kinks for example while adding your credit card via picture for those participating in the silent auction the information doesn't get put in exactly correct which causes for the process to take longer and the registration to be more difficult. At an event in which people are moving around and with an older crowd making the registration as easy and less time consuming would be more beneficial.

Would recommend.
We always use greater giving for our 5+ events a year. It's great for checking people in, and just about all the steps necessary to take when running events, before, during, and after.
Some of the nuances in processing payments can be a bit tricky, and are not intuitive when teaching others how to use the softeware.

Greater Giving is an evolving company and continues to improve their product. It is extensive having many features, reports and different ways of going about getting things done. They are PCI compliant which takes away worry about security and adds value to your overall event. Whether you are a small shop or large, any nonprofit can use it with a little bit of training, some practice and time. It is cost effective and adds value to our events. It is amazing that anyone from volunteer to staff can reach out to tech support. I like that it is web based and that you can have multiple events simultaneously. Also the capability to have different permissions for each user including multiple account admin helps s multi department development team like ours. Relatively speaking the mobile bidding works easily.
The "join me"feature is still new and we haven't been able to master it's use yet. The website capability is great but requires a little extra training. However the tech support is excellent with an almost 12 hour a day call hour. If the tech can't answer the question they get back to you. Most often though they will walk you through a step.
We have used other platforms and are so delighted that we found Greater Giving. We had a committee and a vetting process - it is definitely worth every penny. No platform is perfect and all will have some features that are cumbersome or not exactly the way you would want. Greater Giving has made so many aspects of our online registration, auctions, receipting and other aspects smooth and efficient. Make sure to utilize the training to get an edge and rely on their support team. Try it out and compare.

When I started my website it was one of the only sites out there. They are PCI compliant.
How difficult the pages are to set up and understand. The 'FAQ's' and online 'Help' aren't any help at all.
If you have a crew of folks to dedicate to setting up online donate pages go for it. If you are a small business or NP and have minimal web experience like me -- forget it.

It helps keep us organized when we plan for events and the online auction feature is fun to use and helps us raise more money then we could if we did it with paper bid sheets.
The reports are hard to use and hard to customize and the event website it limited in what you can do with it. I wish there was more flexibility in the design aspect.

The benefits of Greater Giving include an easy upload and check-in process, a simple check-out process for auction purchases or donations, and a simple training for staff members.
The features of this products "go-time" make for a really easy event check-in. I've worked a variety of events with this software, most notably a large seated fundraiser. Everyone was able to check-in quickly and all the details needed by our check-in team were easily accessible.
The search function could be expanded on to assist better with misspellings or connections to other members (spouse names, etc).

Greater Giving is very feature-rich. Too feature-rich for my needs, it turns out. We are a small private school and used Greater Giving for 2 years for an annual gala with an auction as well as a Fun Run fundraiser. I liked the flexibility to customize reports and printed materials, but the way it handled auction items was extremely time to consume. You are required to enter each thing as a single item, then create a package. It didn't matter if it really was a package of 2 or 3 items or if it was just one thing - everything had to end up a package. That basically doubled the amount of data entry for me. I found the program far too difficult to use with volunteers - way too much of a learning curve. I did really like the event-night software and found it easy to use, even with the volunteers.

Our development office has now been using Greater Giving for a little over 2 years, after doing some extensive research and choosing it as the BEST option. This has given us the opportunity to use it for many different events more than once and across different departments/colleges within the medical university. Because it is web based, there are no restrictions on number of users and you can lock/unlock per event we have used it with select "third party" events- where all proceeds benefit us but the event is run by a group of volunteers and not a formal organization.
It helped us streamline some of our functions for all our various events. It has also given us an opportunity to try some peer to peer fundraising. Other departments have now begun using it and others are now attempting events because this platform is available.
We've found the ease of use in training our volunteers and interns a plus. The fact that almost anyone can be trained to create a landing page for ticket sales, auctions and peer to peer campaigns is a huge advantage for our organization. Go Time (day of event) process is another favorite aspect of Greater Giving.
Overall we have been so pleased with both the customer support- some of our suggestions have even been incorporated in 2 upgrades since we've been using it! And they've actually lowered instead of increased the cost on Mobile Bidding (you used to have to pay per mb event and now it's a once a year cost) Not only are more funds raised, Greater Giving give us back time as well!
It's overall ease of use and convenience.
Some of the features are difficult to use/not up to par- peer to peer fundraising for ex.
Also the webpage/landing page building can be quite complicated and the tutorial isn't comprehensive enough. Same goes for the reports- we know that there are so many but the training just touches the surface.
Maybe subsequent trainings or "papers" on best practices or features etc. Sometimes you don't even know what you don't know.

Working with Greater Giving has enhanced our department, events and my job tremendously. We have used the software for several years now and have added mobile bidding most recently.

Using Greater Giving Express Pay allowed our guests to have a more seamless experience at our silent auction. Guests commented on how easy it was to participate in all aspects of the event using their bid number and not have to worry about standing in a checkout line at the end of the night. I wouldn't go back to using anything but this! As a small nonprofit, we are always looking to save money, so the price tag is a hurdle - but once you think about the gained revenue because your guests are focused on giving and not worries about check out - the price is worth it in increased revenue.
Makes checkout seamless at silent auction event.
You don't loose revenue trying to hunt down someone who bid but didn't pay at the end of the night.
I'd love for it to be cheaper!

We have used Greater Giving for several years to manage our online giving pages and our school's fundraising event. This year, we added the mobile bidding component. This was the second time we've used mobile bidding, the first with a different company. I was looking for a product to easily manage all the auction and mobile bidding steps myself. This produce was so easy to use.
The customoer support throughout the event was wonderful, often responding the same day when contacted, always by the end of the next business day.
We are most likely planning to use mobile bidding again at our event in 2017, and I am already considering ways to use what I learned at the last event to make this one even easier, all using the things I learned through using Greater Giving.
We are a happy user. Thank you.
I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to increase revenue at an event and enhance the experiences of the attendees

I have used Greater Giving's Event Software and mobile bidding platform for the past several years and just finished my largest gala event yet - with over 400 people attending - and I don't know how I could have done so without it! From tracking all of my items and packages, to assigning guests to tables, viewing their purchases and organizing mobile bidding and a text to give campaign, it makes me look like a pro. My volunteers love it, my guests appreciate the ease with which they check in and check out, and I find the system itself to be very user friendly. And for those rare times when I can't figure it out myself, chat support is fabulous! I have recommended this software to several colleagues and will continue to do so.

I sourced Greater Giving back in 2010 when we were producing our first Gala. I wanted software that would easily keep track of people and items. The ability to create a website was a bonus! Greater Giving performed like a champ before, during and after the event.
I also began using the website capabilities for other events/fundraisers. The sites are pretty easy to set up and maintain. When I have needed more help, customer support is always there.
They were really there for me at our second gala when the power went out. We had just finished the silent auction and the guests were seated for dinner and being served when the power went out. We were able to process all the silent auction items as we worked from the software and not the cloud. We decided not to have the live auction or fund a need. Instead, Greater Giving assisted us in creating an online auction and worked with us every step of the way. Their expertise and great products helped to save what could have been a disaster.
Hospice East Bay has about 4 events a year where Greater Giving is utilized. As long as I am the Development Associate for this organization, we will be continuing our relationship with Greater Giving!
Easy to use. Great customer support. Full reporting capabilities. Easy customization.
When the website gets updated and things move around or there are different ways to do them. No manual updates when that happens.

Our school has benefited tremendously by using the Event Software and Mobile Bidding. In a few weeks we will be using both for the third time at our next Auction fundraiser. After the first year, we not only paid for the software and mobile bidding BUT increased our silent auction profit by $10,000! The program is very easy to use, streamlines all of our donations, and allows us to perform quick reviews post-event. Customer service has been exceptional. Several calls are set up with the Greater Giving team prior to the event and a team member is available during the entire duration of the event. All questions have been answered quickly. The Greater Giving team continues to give suggestions each year as to what we can try at our next event to help increase our profit. And both years the software has been updated with new features. Biggest benefit for our school has been the elimination of long checkout lines at the end of the night. With Mobile Bidding, guests having registered a credit card either before the event or during check-in are instantly notified of their winnings as soon as the Silent Auction closes. Priceless! We continue, a few years into our experience, to get great reviews from our attendees about the significant improvements that this package has made to our annual funraiser.

We use Greater Giving to manage our Marquee events (galas, golf, wine tasting, etc.) - events that usually have an auction component and the staff, volunteers and constituents love it. I've personally used Greater Giving software for the past eight years and have never worked with a software vendor that is more in tune with their customer's wants and needs. They actually ASK for ways they can improve the product and LISTEN! I've seen our suggestions appear in product updates repeatedly over the years and they never stop trying to improve their product.
We began using their mobile bidding service over the past couple of years and the staff and patrons love it. Their Go Time event night software is so easy to use I barely have to train volunteers on event night - the software just walks them through the check-in/registration process and makes check out at the end of the night a breeze. As previous reviews mentioned, their website and reporting areas are a little more cumbersome to use, but I know that they are working on that too - we've already seen some great advances in reporting with the latest software release.
Greater Giving software and event support is outstanding - they are only a phone call away anytime, but most importantly on the day of your event and a LIVE person answers the phone who knows the product and can fix your issues and get you back on track in no time! They are fantastic.
I would highly recommend Greater Giving to any non- profit interested in experiencing a great event management tool. This is one fantastic organization!
Ease of use, outstanding customer support, mobile bidding option/component, auctioneer features for a professional live auction, leader boards, smooth check-in/check-out event process, ability to e-mail receipt to patrons at check out, volunteers absolutely love it! Patrons are very impressed at the flow of the event when we move the event management to Greater Giving.
Reporting is confusing and needs work and they need to make improvements in the backend website creation process but we are able to get the information out of the system that we need and we have great looking, easy to use websites.

We have used the Greater Giving software for our last 7 galas/auctions and each year it continues to improve and make the back-of-house operations easier for our event volunteers. I would highly recommend this software to anyone who is wanting to make operations seamless for both your guest and volunteers. Mobile bidding functions that were incorporated are very popular with our constituents and have raised the overall amount of donations given.
Ease of use and customer support.
It is a little higher in cost but well worth the expense and ease of mind the night of the event.

Using the Greater Giving Software has allowed me to really be in control of the data and the ROI of my events. The software is very easy to use and set up. It has tremendous functionality and flexibility to engage multiple users. We look so professional at our events at check in and check out and guests love it.
I have been using the product for three years and have hosted 10 different events through the software.
Mobile bidding is beyond amazing! It has transformed our event and put the fun back in the cocktail hour because we are able to open up the bidding the day before the event to allow guests to browse and start the bidding process in the comfort of their own home or coffee shop.
The reports have been invaluable to use with new committee members year after year to really hone in on the auction items that sell the best.
The database makes connecting with the audience easy, year after year.
One of the most important areas is the upper management. They actually listen to the clients and work to make needed changes to the product to be the most customer friendly product out there. The concern upper management has for the end consumer shows in the call center support. Their customer service staff is always available to answer questions and help guide me through anything I am doing or stuck on.
This is great product that is just getting better each year!
The database features and fields, mobile bidding and ease of email campaigns.
Some of the fields could be located on different pages to make the work flow more integrated
Don't ever hesitate to call their customer support - they are wonderful and helping to sort out anything you are doing.

I can't wait to get rid of this software. It looks good on paper until you use it. We couldn't make heads or tails of the reports. Designing the website pages were challenging (and I'm a website designer). Not intuitive. Inflexible. Want to had a field? Forget it. Want to add instructions or a different title to a field? Forget it. At the bottom of your website will be an ugly black bar with the Greater Giving logo - and you can't get rid of it. I've ask them to change it from a black bar to transparency or white, no luck.

Greater Giving has been a great partner for planning and executing the auction for our school for the past five years. The addition of Go Time for check-in and check-out and seamless data flow between our auction database and the mobile bidding platform has made event night run smoother than ever. The customer support has always been very responsive and helpful when needed. We have seen a steady increase in auction revenue since switching to mobile bidding, not to mention a decrease in "auction night madness." I call it a win-win-win for staff, volunteers and event guests.

I have been here a couple times now, and I think I found my spa! I've gotten massages at other places, but have always left feeling like nothing was really accomplished… Not the case with this place! I absolutely LOVED my massage… A wonderful calming, personal touch.
Went to the spa and they were so accommodating. I picked the one-hour therapeutic massage and it was fantastic! I had suffered back problems before this from a work accident and I had mentioned that and my masseuse made sure to focus on that. I will definitely be returning!
Rowina was a fantastic masseuse. Highly recommended her. To bad I'm only here on vacation or I would definitely make her my regular masseur. The lobby, bathroom and room were very clean and inviting. The front desk staff was very sweet, which is very important to me.
Reception and hospitality A++…My therapist gave me a massage, facial and microdermabrasion. I only left out one star bc I still had some blackheads left over but I am a little OCD…lol overall it was very nice experience, very relaxing. I would go back
I bought my first massage here with a groupon just trying to find someone that had a next day opening. I've been going regularly now for almost a year. My masseuse, was wonderful. She is incredibly knowledgable and really listens to what I need. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Last month I went for my massage at Mandarin Oriental because I was with a group of girlfriends and was disappointed (again). My massages here are always MUCH better than any of the upscale places on the beach.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's tennis team swept all three doubles matches and went on to a 7-2 victory over visiting UMass Boston in a Little East Conference match at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Saturday.
Junior Karsten Rathlev (Winchester, MA/Winchester HS), junior Mike Parker (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS), senior Brennan Dugas (East Falmouth, MA/Falmouth HS/New York City Tech) and sophomore Matt Bejtlich (Rochester, MA/Moses Brown HS) each won twice for the Corsairs.
Rathlev defeated freshman David Hernandez (Bogota, Colombia/Liceo Segovia) at number one singles, 6-1, 6-2, and teamed with junior Guillaume Cotte (Grenoble, France) to down Hernandez and sophomore Charles Lai (Boston, MA/Boston College HS) at number one doubles, 8-3. Parker defeated senior Himanshu Dubey (Lucknow, India/Medford HS-MA) at number six singles, 6-3, 6-2, and combined with senior Brian Lui (Medfield, MA/Medfield HS) to take out Dubey and sophomore Lyle Analetto (Belmont, MA/Belmont HS) at number three doubles, 8-3. Dugas downed sophomore Seth Shavers (Boston, MA/Academy of the Pacific Rim) at number four singles, 6-0, 6-1; Bejtlich took care of Analetto at number five singles 6-2, 6-0, and Dugas and Bejtlich teamed to defeat Shavers and junior Alex Loyer (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) at number two doubles, 9-7.
"We played very well, and we had four double winners," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Tom Mendell. "Karsten remained undefeated, and Mike continued to win silently. We're playing well as a team, and we're going to be getting into the heart of our league matches very soon.
The Corsairs improved to 5-1 and 2-0 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while the Beacons dropped to 4-3 and 0-1 in the LEC with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Curry Monday. UMass Boston will visit Lesley Monday.

Targeted Killing: Drones
Empirical Analyses of Drones in Pakistan
As a counterpoint to the much-noted critical study of drones in Pakistan from the clinics at NYU and Stanford, I recommend this piece by Joshua Foust of the American Security Project, which is sympathetic to the NYU-Stanford study but maintains that it "has some serious bias issues." I also recommend this (seven-month old) article by Patrick B. Johnston and Anoop Sarbahi (of RAND and Stanford, respectively), which argues very tentatively that drone strikes in northwestern Pakistan reduce militant violence there. The NYU-Stanford study covers many topics (ranging from civilian casualties to the impact of drones on medical assistance, education, social and cultural activities, and the like), and focuses almost exclusively on the undoubted costs of the drone program without much consideration of possible benefits. The Johnston-Sarbahi study focuses very narrowly on the relationship between drones strikes and militant violence in northwestern Pakistan. The authors actually find a positive correlation between drones and violence in that region, but after "controlling for local factors and time trends," they find a negative correlation, though only a "modest" one. The takeaway for me from the Johnston-Sarbahi piece is the genuine difficulty of measuring and assessing the impact of drones on violence in Pakistan, much less their impact on violence in Afghanistan and their other second- and third-order effects.

- Read more of everything.
- Books are great, read those. But there are also newspapers and online news sites, short fiction, poetry, magazines, graffiti in bathroom stalls, motivational sayings at the bottoms of posters featuring kittens dangling precariously. Anything you enjoy reading, you should read more of. Anything that seems informative, you should read more of. Then, you should seek out the opposite information and read that, too, so you can decide for yourself which side you think is correct. Probably, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It tends to be. But the more you read, the better informed you are, and the better chance that you'll be able to sort these things out for yourself.
- Go for more walks.
- Move purposely, out in the world, alone with your own thoughts. Look around the scenery. Stand up straight as you walk. Don't hurry. Don't dawdle.
- Sleep whenever you can.
- If you're not being productive, if you're tired, if you feel frustrated by your aging body's desire to do less than your brain deems necessary at any given moment – go to bed. Rest. Nap. Sleep for many glorious hours. Whatever your body needs, do it. You'll feel better, snap less, get more done, and generally be healthier.
- Replace every instance of "ferret" with: "they're weasels, man, not pets; they're fucking weasels".
- Cook more often.
- I don't mean heating food according to the package directions. Make something from scratch. Taste all of the ingredients. Roll them around on your tongue. Know the individual flavors of everything going into your food. Use ingredients you adore. Love your food.
- Every once in a while, refrain from saying something. You don't always need to. You can listen, instead.
- Pick one thing you are unhappy about, and fix it.
- It doesn't have to be a big thing, but it can be. That's up to you. Just find one thing that's making your life worse, a thing or a person or a way of being that you're trying to ignore, and find a solution. Get rid of it. Have it repaired. Break up with it. Move away from it. Rearrange it. Ship it off to where it actually belongs. Whatever you need to do, stop putting it off, and get it done.
- Laugh every chance you get.
- Give something away. Preferably to someone who needs it, or someone that you would love to have the thing, or – if that fails – to a charity which could use the thing. You really don't need all of those things.
- Take a day off. Listen to some music. Take a walk. Kiss someone you fancy. Eat a nice lunch. Maybe have a nap. Whatever you want, as long as you don't do anything important at all.

A great win, as Energy Secretary Ed Davey of the Lib Dems, loses his seat. Davey was an acolyte of the renewable energy/climate change fetishism.
Labour's Caroline Flint trying to spin this result as a loss for the government.
Labour's Chukka Umunna increases his majority, a possible candidate for the leadership, he is to the right of Ed, much closer to the Blairite tradition. Said during campaign he didn't get into politics to increase taxes.
Liberal Democrats retaining 1 seat in Scotland, Orkney and Shetland, which thoroughly rejected independence. Hard working, independently minded folk who have little time for the mainland nationalist socialism.
Glasgow North East, Labour's safest seat in Scotland, goes SNP. Labour wiped out in Scotland unless some outlier emerges.
George Galloway looks out in Bradford East - excellent news
Conservatives gain two seats from Lib Dems in Wales. Plaid Cymru fourth in vote share in Wales behind Labour, Conservatives and UKIP. Welsh nationalism is very much a minority sport, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood's TV appearances on national debates hasn't worked.
Result at 0400
Labour 94
Conservative 54
Liberal Democrats 3
Others 16

I absolutely love this DVD. It is my favorite real TV family in the universe. Michele and Jimbob are great examples as parents and human beings. Their children are the fruit of their teachings and are educated according to God's standards. I wish this family was the norm about everything we see in TV instead of the vulgar reality TV and Commercials that are produced.

"I am a really big fan of the Duggars. I think what they have done as a family is fantastic. I love getting to watch their episodes when I want to. I also feel like when I buy their products I am supporting their life style, which I feel is above reproach. If you haven't watched their family you wouldn't understand how they live their lives. I am an adult but wish I could have been born into their family. Get to know the Duggars, you'll be inspired!"

Another Smallville, another cute little outfit for Lois Lane to parade around in. "Charade" focuses on the shaky love triangle between Clark, Lois and the Blur. For Clark this is obviously a strange situation as he desperately wants to reveal to Lois who he truly is but ultimately fears for her safety. Well, consider this. Lois does a fantastic job getting herself into trouble without knowing the Blur's true identity and she will continue to get herself into trouble without knowing the Blur's true identity. Both Clark and Chloe know this. As much as these, "I can't tell her my secret identity" storylines are great for building romantic tension, they usually end up feeling fairly unrealistic.
Worst-case scenario: Clark tells Lois his secret and she continues to put herself in dangerous situations. Nothing changes except Clark and Lois live happily ever after. Don't get me wrong, I'm not just ragging on Smallville for this. I've seen it in just about ever superhero story in which someone must protect their secret identity to protect the ones they love. when the ones they love are getting themselves in trouble every issue/week. In the case of Smallville it's just frustrating because we've been through this storyline on more than one occasion. It took Clark years to open up to Lana.
Despite the concept being fairly hackneyed, this unusual love triangle does a pretty good job of highlighting the problems in the Lois and Clark relationship. Clark's alter ego, "The Blur", is the ultimate mystery boy handed up on a silver platter. Everyone loves a good mystery and many want to be involved in something greater than themselves. With the Blur, Lois had both and Clark finds a competitor in himself.
It was great seeing how the outcome of the episode's events had changed the view they each have of their relationship. Despite knowing he's playing second fiddle to Metropolis' Man of Mystery, Clark soldiers on as the boy scout he is, creating an elaborate romantic dinner for Lois. Just like he always does, Clark tries to make lemonade out of the lemons he's been handed. He's already trying to do this with Zod.
Suffering from her "breakup" with the Blur, Lois is now questioning her very feelings for Clark. It's interesting to see how much her feelings evolved over the course of the episode. She was thrilled at the thought of finally saying the "L" word to Clark at the beginning of the episode. I think this may soon prompt the break that these two characters really need. It wouldn't be wise to drag out their relationship from this point onward. Break them up and give them a reason to trust each other again.
The introduction of Maxwell Lord (Gil Bellows) has ignited my interest in the Checkmate storyline once again. It would have been interesting to see him introduced as a friend of the budding Justice League who he'd eventually turn against, but with time running out on the season it's probably best just to jump into his sinister agenda.
The reason I'm so excited by the introduction of Maxwell Lord is due to the fact that he's a potential game changer. Even with recent big events, like the introduction of Checkmate and Zod regaining his powers, I fear some of the character arcs are starting to grow stagnant. Chloe's "big sister" storyline, while interesting, has been spinning its wheels for weeks, meanwhile, the Clark and Lois story is retreading familiar issues with trust that we've already seen in Clark's previous relationship.
Maxwell Lord is a good opportunity to shake things up. When he killed Blue Beetle in the DC Universe it was a controversial yet necessary decision. It shook the very foundation of the big three (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) and incited change. Smallville gave this a shot last year when they killed off Faux-Jimmy Olsen. That didn't quite have the desired effect. Maybe Lord putting a bullet in someone's head is what this show needs going into its final season.
The emphasis on the S-Shield during the Lord/Clark confrontation was very well done. Without "Superman" on the show, it's important to establish that symbol whenever possible. Having the S-Shield stand out as it did also made the ridiculous Blur outfit look a little more Kryptonian. The shield takes the emphasis away from the fact that Clark just throws on a black trench coat and shirt for his superhero costume.

The Hang Up Lyrics
Yet again.
Everything you do just makes me sick.
Bullshit you say.
To get attention.
Shit's pretentious.
I'm growing tired of your shit.
When I'm grabbing the mic what do you see?
Image obsessed.
Go buy a motherfucking magazine.
Go home.
Die slow.
Nobody cares about you.
Go home.
Die slow.
And write a song about me.
You're so new school.
I wonder why everything you do is sick and fly.
Take off your shades.
You wanna talk about gimmicks?
Look at yourself.
When you're alone I know you're somebody else.
I'm the realest motherfucker in the game.
I see you faggots living perfect lives.
Selling all your bullshit angst.
Sold my soul.
So, Satan explain:
Where's my money, power, fame?
So check yourself before you ever say my name.

One of the most important things a grey squirrel has to do in preparation for winter is to find and store seeds. These seeds can be in the form of oak acorns, hickory nuts, berries, fruits, buds, fungi, conifer seeds, and so on, and it is the storing of specific tree seeds that is so important for forest health and regeneration. Grey squirrels are "scatter hoarders," meaning that they bury single nuts in many different locations. What is interesting is that even though these squirrels bury a huge amount of tree seeds every year, they will only only recover about 30% of them. More importantly grey squirrels are burying healthy seeds and eating damaged seeds first! This means that they are essentially planting a huge amount of healthy seeds (those seeds most likely to grow) and leaving 70% of them buried. Also because grey squirrels are scatter hoarders, they have generously contributed to the seed dispersion of different tree species and planted those seeds in a cool, dry, and healthy spots, thereby promoting growth. This is why in forest areas with significant grey squirrel populations, there tends to be higher numbers of young trees. This means that grey squirrels are continuously planting future generations of trees to sustain a happy and healthy forest.
Now some of you might be asking, "Well what about red squirrels? They live around here too." Yes, it is true that there are red squirrels in this area and they also play a role in the ecosystem. However, red squirrels do not necessarily have the same impact on forest regeneration because their strategy for storing seeds is completely different than grey squirrels. Red squirrels are known as "larder hoarders," which means their collected seeds are stored in large piles typically above the ground, not buried. Therefore, these seeds have not been dispersed or stored in such a way for germination success, meaning that red squirrels do not play the same critical role as grey squirrels in terms of forest regeneration.
So the next time you are walking down a trail at Sheep Pasture and see a grey squirrel, feel free to say a little "thank you" for all their hard work and dedication. Without them, who knows what our forests would look like!

Professor of Geography University of Kentucky
Political Economy of Transnational Certification: Signs, Labels & Rents
The political economy of certification is my principal focus at the present. Key questions explore the making of the international certification regime under the ISO rubric, and the effect that this particular certification framework has on producers and producer cooperatives and unions. I make use of ethnographic fieldwork in Oaxaca, Mexico to examine three interlinked questions of political economy. First, to what degree may certified-organic and fair-trade production be understood as a form of rentier capitalism, and what implications does this have for relations with agro-food networks? Second, how does the illumination of certain practices within certified production, for instance of producer prices and cultivation methods, affect the process of commodity fetishism? Third, how does the enrollment of producers within these networks affect household decision-making and local governance practices?
Political Ecology, Agrarian Formations & Matrix Ecology
A second aspect of my research examines the intersection between social conservation networks -- in this case organic- and fair-trade coffee producer networks -- and local conservation ecologies. I make use of matrix ecology and ethnography to raise questions about the how areas in need of protection are identified, how they may be connected to other conservation areas through corridors, and how farmers can participate in regional convervation efforts. This initiative is still 'under construction' as it were, but will examine both ecological questions, framed through matrix theory, and social-network concerns addressed through theories of political economy and cultural studies.
Gender, Indigenous Peoples & Alternative Visions of Latin America
A third research area examines struggles over development within households, villages and communities. My village-based studies in indigenous villages within Oaxaca, Mexico point to both the vast changes that neoliberal development has wrought on Oaxaca's villages, leading to intensive migration flows and new forms of economic life and the frequent -- one might say unalloyed -- failure of project-based development. My published work illuminates both the causes and consequences of failure, and also to the novel ways in which engagement with development projects alters local practices.
