Love is in the air – Napa Valley's Castle of Love celebrates Valentine's Day
Romantic love will be in full celebration as guests express their love for each other at Castello di Amorosa's cupid-friendly Royal Hearts Gala on February 16, 2013. A reception kicks off the festivities at 7:00 p.m. followed by dinner seating at 8:00 p.m. The winery's name embodies the spirit of this gala — "Castle of Love." The evening will also include a performance of excerpts from Shakespeare's works on love.
Castello di Amorosa welcomes special guest chef Alejandra Schrader, a Top 10 Finalist in Fox's MasterChef USA Season 2. "To say we are thrilled to have Chef Schrader showcase her culinary skills is an understatement," said President, Georg Salzner. "I'm sure she'll dazzle us with menu she's creating. We are looking forward to the menu and the evening," he adds.
Currently a private chef in Los Angeles, Shrader has participated in high profile culinary festivals such as "Taste of Chicago," the world's largest, as well as food and wine festivals in Washington, D.C. and Palm Desert. "I have had the opportunity to learn directly from renowned chefs like Mary Sue Milliken from Border Grill and acclaimed Ricardo Zarate of Picca and Mo-Chica (Food & Wine Magazine's 2010 Best Chef)," Shrader explains.
"I was fortunate to compete and present my dishes to Judges Chef Gordon Ramsay, Chef Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich," Chef Schrader explains. "From well over thirty thousand auditions all over the country, 100 people were brought to Los Angeles to compete for the title of MasterChef; and I was one of the lucky ones. I am proud to be part of the MasterChef family and it will be an honor to prepare special dishes for the guests at the Castello's Gala."
The Royal Hearts Gala will include a VIP reception with hors d'oeuvres in the Tasting Room followed by a 4-course meal in the Grand Barrel Room. Cost is $195 for the winery's wine club members and $225 for non-members.
Shakespeare in the Vines will perform selected scenes from Shakespeare's most romantic plays and sonnets during dinner. Shakespeare in the Vines is an acting troupe which specializes in the works of William Shakespeare.
A top finalist and fan favorite on FOX's popular show MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay, Alejandra has established her presence in the culinary world. She has performed cooking demonstrations all over the United States at prestigious food and wine festivals such as this year's Taste of Chicago, the largest food festival in the world. She has shared the culinary stage with renowned chefs like Roy Yamaguchi, Aaron Sanchez, Sara Moulton, Mark Peel and Graham Elliot. Since the end of MasterChef, Alejandra has done appearances on TV shows like Access Hollywood Live, Cafe CNN, NBC's Today in LA, and Primera Edición (Univision, Spanish TV). Her recipes and interviews have been featured in high profile magazines like InTouch Weekly and Taste of Home. She owns a private chef business in Los Angeles; she is also writing her first cookbook and working on exciting new media projects. More at http://www.alejandraschrader.com/my-story/

The versatile Dodge Journey crossover moves into 2018 with a lineup that has been streamlined to four models: SE, SXT, Crossroad and GT. New for 2018 is standard three-row seating on all Journey models. In addition, all Crossroad models now feature new "Black Noise" 19-inch aluminum wheels, which provide a dramatic styling statement.
This year, the popular Blacktop Package is available on Journey SE, joining SXT and GT models. The Blacktop Package includes black roof rails, Gloss Black exterior mirrors, fascia applique, grille, 17-inch aluminum wheels on SE models and 19-inch aluminum wheels on SXT and GT models.
Base power is generated by a 2.4L four-cylinder engine joined to a 40TES four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The top-of-the-line GT is equipped with the automaker's award-winning 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine and bolted to a 62TE six-speed automatic with overdrive. All-wheel drive is an available option.
Journey's all-wheel-drive system works on demand, driving only the front wheels until power to the rear wheels is needed to maximize fuel efficiency. All-wheel drive also is used on dry pavement between speeds of 25 and 65 mph to enhance handling during performance driving. When traveling faster than 25 mph, the all-wheel-drive system sends torque to the rear wheels when cornering with the throttle open to make the crossover turn more easily, which makes the handling more neutral.
The Dodge crossover's chassis architecture delivers a confidence-inspiring driving experience coupled with precise steering for maximum control. Strong torsional stiffness in the steering column intermediate shaft isolator, in conjunction with Journey's rear suspension geometry, delivers precise steering feel and a connected steering response. R/T's more aggressive suspension tuning gives a sportier ride and even greater handling precision for when the roads turn twisty.
Inside the passenger cabin, Journey offers levels of refinement not typically found in the crossover market. A beautifully crafted one-piece soft-touch instrument panel sets the tone. A standard Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is positioned in the center of the gauge cluster, which has a full-color display backlit in Dodge red lights, giving it a soft glow. Integrated center stack bezels are sculpted, and designers softened the radius to make more room for the driver's knees. The cushioned center console armrest lifts to reveal a larger center storage bin with a 12-volt outlet and USB port where owners can hook up their MP3/iPod charging connections and hide them out of sight. Engineers also developed many treatments to reduce noise, vibration and harshness. One example is the Journey's dual dash silencer, which isolates the cabin, making for a nice, quiet ride.
The interior also offers best-in-class utility. Second-row and available third-row seats fold flat for plenty of cargo space. Second-row seats recline and have available integrated child booster seats. There's a large front storage bin with side nets and a multi-function three-spoke steering wheel with standard integrated cruise and radio controls. There are also innovative removable storage bins in the floor ahead of the second-row seats, which can hold everything from muddy clothes to soda cans, and conceal valuables such as a camera, laptop or purse.

Scott Welch began his session at the "Best of IMCA" seminar series with a few stark reminders.
"Modern Portfolio Theory is just that, a theory; it's not Modern Portfolio Fact," Welch stressed Thursday afternoon in Denver. "Efficient Market Hypothesis is a hypothesis; it's not Efficient Market Statement."
Both of these investing staples have too many simplifying assumptions to address them otherwise, he added, but it's something many people forgot, especially between 2002 and 2007.
"But 2008 brought this home in a big, big way," Welch, senior managing director and member of the executive committee at alternative investment firm Fortigent, said.
He then launched into his presentation. Titled "When Bad Things Happen to Good Portfolios: Rethinking Risk and Diversification," it began with an extensive examination of the three reactions advisors and investors have had since; the behavioral response, the "quant" response and the "rethinking the problem" response, three camps each with strong arguments and respected advocates.
The behavioral response wryly notes that "modern portfolio theory ain't so modern anymore" and must be reevaluated. This reevaluation holds that investors act irrationally and do not have uniform risk tolerances or "utility maximizing" risk and return objectives. Rather, an investor's risk tolerance is dependent on the starting point of wealth and changes over time in an "asymmetrical way."
"MPT measure statistical portfolio qualities that do not capture non-statistical sources of risk within portfolios," Welch noted. "And extreme market conditions like Black Swans cause complete model failure. Also, investors do not view upside and downside risk in the same way."
"Is there a better way?" he asked. "In other words, can we bridge the divide between Eugene Fama and Richard Thaler?"
So called "Post-Modern Portfolio Theory" might be this "ecumenical bridge." It measures downside risk more accurately through the Sortino ratio, semi-variance efficient frontiers, lower partial moment, etc. to find how investors actually think about their money. The upside is also more accurately captured through minimum acceptable returns (MAR) and upside potential of an objectives-based investment strategy.
"The verdict to date, based on tons of analysis, is that it is a better way," Welch said. "However, there is little practitioner acceptance of implementation, probably because there are 25 years of investor 'education' to undo."
He then moved to a discussion of the quantitative responses since 2008 (or the theory that it can all be solved with math), among them market "turbulence" optimization.
"This holds that markets pass through periods of 'quiescence' and 'turbulence,'" he said. "These periods are both persistent and forecastable. The key is to build and manage portfolios to incorporate these different turbulent regimes, rather than assuming static volatility and correlation conditions, which results in more 'true' diversification, less tail risk and more consistent portfolio performance."
Another quant response was Extreme Value Theory (EVT), which is the statistical analysis of results that deviate wildly from the norm, that is, the study of market behavior in the "fat tail" portion of the return distribution.
"Applying EVT to portfolio management supposedly leads to a better understanding of both the likelihood and the outcome of extreme market events, and thus drives more intelligent portfolio construction and risk management."
Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVar) are "somewhat related to EVT," he said. "VaR is a statistical metric that measures the potential risk of loss within a portfolio over a specified time period. CVaR measures extreme risk or the risk beyond VaR."
"What do all these quant responses have in common?" he asked. "Standard deviation and correlation analysis are backward looking, unstable over time and represent an insufficient measure of actual portfolio risk. Also, assuming normal 'bell curve' risk can be very dangerous, meaning traditional MPT metrics severely underestimate actual market risk, the empirical evidence indicates that the chance of a market 'blow up' is far greater that what is indicated by normal distribution assumptions."
The last response, the "rethink the problem response," began with a discussion of Black Swan events.
"The response to Black Swans was to note that they are utterly unpredictable, are far more likely to occur and will have a far worse impact than statistics suggest. Once they occur, they are rationalized in hindsight. The practical implication for portfolio management is that 'catastrophe insurance' or conversely 'opportunity exploiters' should be standard components of any portfolio asset allocation."
He then noted the "Unified Field Theory" response is a "very interesting avenue of exploration with vast potential, but we are still very early in the game."
He claimed the theory is a completely different way to think about the problem, one that integrates MPT, behavioral science and evolutionary neurobiology.
"Dr. Andrew Lo suggest in his book Adaptive Market Hypothesis that we should examine the financial markets as a complex adaptive system, meaning it's a system made up of myriad and multiple interconnected networks of relationships that 'learn from experience' and evolve accordingly over time."

Although Housman was known throughout the school as a great wit, Dr. Baxter stated that no one ever really knew him. except perhaps his two closest friends, one of whom was the novelist Thomas Hardy.

Police pulled Williams up from the side of a 30-foot building and arrested him. Public safety director John Calabrese said the department has had contact with Williams before...when he was dressed up as Crow. His official charges are for trespassing and carrying dangerous weapons, and he's being currently held in jail.
Williams is supposedly a 'comic book entusiast' who describes himself in his MySpace page as 'a pretty easy-going guy. I like to help people when I can, especially my friends'. Perhaps one of his friends was in danger? [Petoskey News via Daily Mail]

Testimony in Support of FY 2013 Funding for the
United States Geological Survey, United States Forest Service, and Environmental Protection Agency
Submitted by:

Executive Director

Submitted to:
House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies
The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) appreciates the opportunity to provide testimony in support of appropriations for the United States Geological Survey (USGS), United States Forest Service (USFS), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for fiscal year (FY) 2013. AIBS encourages Congress to provide the USGS with at least $1.2 billion in FY 2013, with at least $177.9 million for the Ecosystems activity. We further request that Congress provide the USFS Forest and Rangeland Research program with at least $295.3 million, and EPA's Office of Research and Development with at least $600 million.
The AIBS is a nonprofit scientific association dedicated to advancing biological research and education for the welfare of society. AIBS works to ensure that the public, legislators, funders, and the community of biologists have access to and use information that will guide them in making informed decisions about matters that require biological knowledge. Founded in 1947 as a part of the National Academy of Sciences, AIBS became an independent, member-governed organization in the 1950s. Today, AIBS has nearly 160 member organizations and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with a Public Policy Office in Washington, DC.
U.S. Geological Survey
The USGS provides unbiased, independent research, data, and assessments that are needed by public and private sector decision-makers. Data generated by the USGS save taxpayers money by reducing economic losses from natural disasters, allowing more effective management of water and natural resources, and providing essential geospatial information that is needed for commercial activity and natural resource management. The data collected by the USGS are not available from other sources and our nation cannot afford to sacrifice this information.
The Ecosystems activity within USGS underpins the agency's other science mission areas by providing information needed for understanding the impacts of water use, energy exploration and production, and natural hazards on natural systems. The USGS conducts research on and monitoring of fish, wildlife, and vegetation - data that informs management decisions by other Interior bureaus regarding protected species and land use. USGS science is also used to control invasive species and wildlife diseases that can cause billions of dollars in economic losses. Collectively, the knowledge generated by these USGS programs is used by federal and state natural resource managers to maintain healthy and diverse ecosystems while balancing the needs of public use.
Other examples of successful USGS Ecosystem initiatives include:
Through the Cooperative Research Units, the USGS and their partners address pressing issues facing natural resource managers at the local, state, and federal levels. Examples of recent research initiatives include studying the effects of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on wildlife and fisheries, and improving management of elk and waterfowl. In addition to providing research expertise, these partnerships at 40 universities in 38 states serve as important training centers for America's next generation of scientists and resource managers. More than 500 graduate students each year receive training by USGS scientists at Cooperative Research Units. The program is also an efficient use of resources: each federal dollar invested in the program is leveraged more than three-fold.
The National Streamflow Information Program within the Water Resources mission area provides needed information for resource managers and scientists. Its national network of streamgages records changes in streamflow due to alterations in precipitation, land use, and water use. This information is vital to state and local governments, utilities, and resource managers who make decisions about water use.
The requested FY 2013 budget would support several science priorities. The proposed budget would enable the USGS to develop methodologies to better prevent, detect, and control Asian carp and other invasive species. USGS would also be able to provide enhanced surveillance and diagnostic tools, and to develop management tools for white-nose syndrome and other ecologically and economically costly wildlife diseases. Additionally, USGS would be able to study and better inform decisions about new energy sources. Importantly, the proposed budget would increase support for USGS research on high priority conservation and land use issues faced by other Interior bureaus, which lack intramural scientific resources to study these issues.
Although the proposed budget supports many USGS priorities, the requested funding level would result in cuts to other programs that support agency core missions. For instance, USGS would have to diminish efforts to assess the nation's water quality and reduce studies on the impacts of environmental contaminants. Given the agency's critical role in informing the environmental and economic health of the nation, more support is justified. We urge Congress to fully fund the USGS by restoring Administration-proposed reductions to core science programs and operations costs while maintaining the proposed increases for other areas.
In summary, the USGS is uniquely positioned to provide a scientific context for many of the nation's biological and environmental challenges, including water quality and use, energy independence, and conservation of biological diversity. Biological science programs within the USGS gather long-term data not available from other sources. These data have contributed fundamentally to our understanding of the status and dynamics of biological populations and have improved our understanding of how ecosystems function, all of which is necessary for predicting the impacts of land management practices and other human activities on the natural environment. This array of research expertise not only serves the core missions of the Department of the Interior, but also contributes to management decisions made by other agencies and private sector organizations. USGS science is also cost-effective, as the agency's activities help to identify the most effective management actions. In short, increased investments in these important research activities will yield dividends.
U.S. Forest Service
United States Forest Service research provides scientific information and new technologies to support sustainable management of the nation's forests and rangelands. These products and services increase the basic biological and physical knowledge of the composition, structure, and function of forest, rangeland, and aquatic ecosystems.
The FY 2013 budget request would cut funding for the Forest and Rangeland Research by $2.5 million. If enacted, the budget would reduce the Forest Service's capacity to conduct research relevant to wildfires, control of invasive species, and management of wildlife and fish. Given the importance of this scientific work to the management of public and private lands, we urge Congress to fund the program at the FY 2012 enacted level.
Environmental Protection Agency
The Office of Research and Development (ORD) supports valuable extramural and intramural research that is used to identify and mitigate environmental problems facing our nation. ORD research informs decisions made by public health and safety managers, natural resource managers, businesses, and other stakeholders concerned about air and water pollution, human health, and land management and restoration. In short, ORD provides the scientific basis upon which EPA monitoring and enforcement programs are built.
Despite the important role played by ORD, its funding has declined by 11 percent since FY 2004, when it peaked at $646.5 million. At $575.6 million, the budget request for FY 2013 falls far short of addressing past and current shortfalls. We ask that Congress restore funding for ORD to at least the FY 2010 level.
The Ecosystem Services Research program within ORD is responsible for enhancing, protecting, and restoring ecosystem services, such as clean air and water, rich soil for crop production, pollination, and flood control. The program has been chronically underfunded, according to the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB). Indeed, the current level of funding "provides inadequate funding for research that supports multiple EPA regulatory programs and that the SAB has characterized as transdisciplinary with the 'potential to be transformative for environmental decision making'...," according to an SAB analysis of the FY 2012 budget request. The FY 2013 request fails to correct this problem, instead proposing a reduction of $600,000. Moreover, funding for EPA ecosystem research has been cut nearly in half since 2004. We ask that Congress address the chronic underfunding of the program.
The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program supports valuable research on human health and the environment through competitively awarded research grants. The program enables EPA to fill information gaps that are not addressed by intramural EPA research programs or by other agencies. A report by the National Academy of Sciences found that the "STAR program is an important part of the overall EPA research program." That same report recommends that funding for the STAR program should be at 15 to 20 percent of the overall ORD budget, "even in budget-constrained times." Despite a proposed increase for the program, the FY 2013 request would fund STAR at less than 15 percent of the overall ORD budget. We urge Congress to fund STAR at the recommended level.
The STAR Graduate Fellowship contributes to the training of the next generation of scientists by supporting graduate students pursuing an advanced degree in environmental science. The National Academy of Sciences called the fellowship "a valuable mechanism for enabling a continuing supply of graduate students in environmental sciences and engineering." Since its inception in 1995, this successful program has supported the education and training of 1,500 fellows who have gone on to pursue careers as scientists and educators. The agency's request would flat fund the program. Given the fellowship's valuable role in preparing environmental scientists and engineers, we ask for the program's funding to be increased accordingly.
ORD's Safe and Sustainable Water Resources program supports research that underpins safe and sustainable water. In addition to helping to ensure safe drinking water for society, the program's research focuses on better understanding resiliency of watersheds to stressors and factors that affect watershed restoration. The budget request would allow the program to pursue research that will inform decisions about water safety and to ensure the sustainability of our coastal watersheds and estuaries.
In conclusion, we urge Congress to restore funding for the ORD to the FY 2010 enacted level. These appropriation levels would allow ORD to address a backlog of research needs.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request.

Logic Behind The Design Of Digits
Do you ever wonder how the shape of digits were designed? What is logic behind numbers?
The numbers we all use (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are known as "arabic" numbers to distinguish them from the "Roman Numerals" (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, etc). Actually the Arabs popularized these numbers but they were originally used by the early phonecian traders to count and keep track of their trading accounts.
Have you ever thought why ........ 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the phonecian numbers?
It's all about angles !
It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why. Angle are marked with "o"s.
No 1 has one angle.
No 2 has two angles.
No 3 has three angles.
and "O" has no angles
Amazing isn't it.
After getting so many abuses in comments and double checking on google. I want to add that this might be imaginary stuff (I got this in chain mail and thought it was interesting so I added to my blog). So, please consider it as someone's great imagination with little flaws. Thanks

Synopsis by Judd Blaise
Franz Kafka's classic tale of Josef K., a bank clerk who is placed on trial for an unnamed, unknowable crime, is given a faithful, if not overly literal, treatment in this drama. Knowing only that he has been charged, Josef naturally sets out to defend himself, but soon finds himself deeply mired in a battle against an incomprehensible government bureaucracy. Following Orson Welles's adaptation of the book by some three decades, director David Jones chooses to avoid the earlier film's expressionistic approach. Instead, he sets Josef's travails against a realistic background that specifically recalls Eastern Europe during the early 20th century, the time of the book's writing. Similarly, the screenplay by famed British playwright Harold Pinter, whose own darkly absurd vision owes much to Kafka, hews closely to the original text. This faithful approach helps ground the story in historical reality, and allows for a good use of brooding Prague locations. However, many critics have found this approach less effective than the low-budget abstraction of Welles' version, which is more successful at highlighting the universality and symbolic nature of the tale.

Buzz: Rock, rattle, roll: Latest from 6 Day Bender frontman a sure thing
For local music aficionados, it's lucky that local blues rocker Luke Nutting has a short attention span. As the front man for a favorite rollicking local bluegrass–- sometimes, they prefer "mountain rock"–- band, 6 Day Bender, Nutting found himself listless and bored during some scheduled downtime. Unable to sit still without an instrument to strum or a lyric to yell, the guitarist began fiddling with melodies, loops, ideas. On a whim, he asked friend and drummer David Jacobs to join him during a solo show–- and Red Rattles was born.
"I don't like the aesthetic of the quiet, singer-songwriter in the corner," Nutting says. "But I get down if I don't play shows. I get ornery."
There's nothing singer-songwriter about Red Rattles. While distracting himself from the boredom of life off the road, Nutting began experimenting with gospel and rock, creating a "Pentecostal punk, hard gospel" aesthetic for the Rattles. How exactly does that play out? A mixture of Southern sticky-sweet blues with loud, rowdy garage rock.
"Somber fury," he grins. "The dualities of Black soul music and white banjo music–- back when gospel and blues were still bedfellows. I took that era and plugged it in, turned it loud, put it through an Iggy Pop lens."
The first release from the duo reflects those dualities seamlessly. Sure Thing contains five songs, and all need to be played at eardrum breaking levels to be best appreciated. The base of the songs were recorded by Nutting and Jacobs during an impromptu rehearsal in Nutting's basement, with one microphone pointed towards the ceiling with the duo playing through the songs as loud as they could. Nutting went back over the tracks individually and added in all other instruments (banjo, upright bass and organ, among at least a dozen) and vocals overtop those original guitar and drum recordings–- and the result is sultry, loud, messy rock. "You can fake a band with two people convincingly," he says.
The album efficiently flows, but never ebbs. Energy seeps throughout the entire 17 minutes and 53 seconds, and it's incredible to hear Nutting's voice reach ever higher pitches in the overlapping layers of vocals. Most songs can be analyzed as relationship quandaries– "Take Me Home" details "good old-fashioned loving"–- although issues of "institutional infallibility" and "the difficulties of circumstance" are overriding themes as well. The duo is, in this reviewer's opinion, strongest on the first and final tracks, "It's a Shame," and "Sure Thing," wrapping the album into a neat package of gospel rage, all sex appeal and grunge. Perhaps the glory of the EP lies in its whimsy–- every song has a different reincarnation when played live, and Nutting plans to keep it that way.
"For better or worse, [Red Rattles] can totally follow whims–- it's a total blank slate," he says. "I can be whoever, the song can be written however, there's nothing to be a sequel to."
If Nutting's solution to boredom is to create exhilarating, devil-may-care musical projects, the local music scene may be just a bit rowdier, even when his main band goes on a well-deserved hiatus.
Red Rattles releases Sure Thing online Sunday, June 13, then playing two release shows Monday, June 14, one at Sidetracks and one at The Box. The Sidetracks show starts at 5pm, The Box show at 10pm and tickets to both are free.

Cate Blanchett covers Vogue
Actress and mother Cate Blanchett is on the December cover of Vogue and she looks amazing! The 40-year-old Academy Award-winning actress is currently performing as the pretentious Blanche Dubois in the play Streetcar Named Desire at Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater through November 21 Cate has three sons Dashiell, 7 1/2, Roman, 5, and Ignatius, 1 1/2 and she proclaims herself as a "theater geek," opens up about the importance of theater, her career choices and her family.
On her family: "When the boys aren't playing with friends, they can usually be found playing backstage. They're always engaged in the family business, so to speak."
On her career choices: "I'm not very cautious or careful. It's always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory… I think that in a way, projects choose you."
On the importance of theater: "In the wake of everything that's happened in the world in the last eighteen months, we're thinking about what we've lost. So much of the play is about the death of poetry and idealism and hope—the fine, delicate things in our lives, the intangible, ephemeral things in our lives—which theater actually represents, doesn't it? It's ephemeral by its very nature. If you're not there, you miss it. It's gone."

Charitable giving by America's top philanthropists boomed last year, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
The Chronicle's annual ranking of the top 50 donors to charitable causes showed that they contributed $7.7 billion in 2013, 4% more than in the previous year.
The stock market surge drove giving, The Chronicle said, but, Claire Costello, a philanthropic executive at U.S. Trust, suspects that the intergenerational transfer of wealth was moving into high gear. Costello suggested that charities could look forward to receiving many big gifts in 2014 and beyond.
Despite the appearance of some young faces on the list, the median age of last year's donors was 72.5. Most were men. Twenty-three earned their wealth in either investments or finance, 12 in real estate, six in technology and the rest from a mix of other pursuits or inheritances.
Colleges, foundations and hospitals received the most gifts worth $1 million or more in 2013, The Chronicle reported. The biggest donors made the fewest gifts and contributed the least money to causes for children and youths, the environment, religion and public broadcasting.
Several of the best-known names in American philanthropy do not appear on the new list. That's because The Chronicle's rankings are based on new commitments donors made to their foundations and other nonprofits in 2013. The rankings do not count payments on past pledges of foundation grants.
Last year, Bill and Melinda Gates gave their foundation some $181 million, which went to pay off a $3.3 billion pledge they had made in 2004, The Chronicle said.
Ted Turner paid $50 million in 2013 to the United Nations Foundation and the Better World Fund. This was the second-to-last payment toward a $1 billion pledge he had made in 1997 to establish the charities.
Warren Buffett is still paying off a previous multibillion-dollar pledge.

text: I Gained Back Control with Farrell's 03/01/2018 Blog category: Testimonials Obesity has been an issue in my family for a long time. Being younger, I have only just begun the slow path toward obesity with losing weight and gaining weight in a yo-yo style, each time getting heavier. Like an addict, I would seek out food to feel fulfilled. I knew my habits were unhealthy, but I could never find a sustainable solution. My twin sister and I had heard of Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping, but always thought it was for super fit people to become more fit. We were intimidated by that thought when discussing enrolling in the program. Finally, we took the leap and enrolled for the 10-week challenge at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping Elk River in October 2016. Our competitive nature has always helped us push each other, but in this case, we wanted to support each other completely. We agreed to split the money if one of us won the $1,000 challenge because through our support of one another, we would both deserve the reward. When I first started the 10-week challenge, it was very difficult. My goal was to have perfect attendance and no excuses. As the weeks progressed, I became stronger and started to form relationships with various people at the gym, all of us supporting each other's individual fitness journeys. I stuck to the Farrell's nutrition plan, kept perfect attendance and managed to lose over 20 pounds and 10.25 inches. My commitment to the 10-week program was enough to win the $1,000 female 10-week challenge prize. You would think that my success throughout the 10 weeks would be enough to have created a new lifestyle and sustain new habits, but I knew deep down that I could easily fall into bad habits again. Unfortunately, my bad habits are so deeply ingrained in me that it was clear it would take more then 10 weeks to lock down new habits, so I committed to the Farrell's yearlong $10,000 National Challenge. I also committed to coaching and FIT challenges to help keep my focus and remain accountable for the decisions I was making. Through various life challenges and blessings, I managed to sustain my weight loss and stay committed to a new lifestyle. There are countless people that have supported me throughout my journey and helped me to push across the finish line. I have gained control of my life and have met many great friends with similar goals through this program. Farrell's has changed my life in ways that are contagious to the people around me. I have now inspired various friends and family members to join the Farrell's program, of which all have loved it! I am so blessed to have found this program! Farrell's has helped me to shape more than just my body; I have become a happier and more confident person, which in turn has made me a better wife, mother and person. I appreciate all the Farrell's program has done for me. I have already won. Joleen P. is a FIT Member at our Elk River, Minnesota, Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping location.

I liked the "the must be Japanese" line from Spike, funny.
BEEOOOTCH!! Quote from: jedijaybird on May 17, 2007, 03:47 PMI liked the "the must be Japanese" line from Spike, funny. His name is Sam in the movie goofy Jay...or as Steven likes to call him - Indy Jr.
Um..I was referring to Bumblebee's air freshener. I'm pretty sure that it says BEEOTCH on the other side, at least that's what I heard a few months ago. Steve - I would have spelt your name with a silent y if I was referring to you.
Actually after careful studio of the HI-Def trailer it says "Bee Super"

One hundred caps, two goals and victory in a competitive match against France for the first time in Spain's history. Revenge too for the last time they were knocked out of a major tournament, six long years ago. Xabi Alonso was on the losing side that night in Hanover. He led the winning side on Saturday night in Donetsk. Everything has changed since then: Spain have gone from habitual failures to perpetual winners. And, ultimately, they were comfortable here. France were simply unable to trouble the world and European champions. Alonso helped control much of this game. He decided it too.
He scored a first-half header and a 90th-minute penalty to maintain Spain's hopes of achieving a unique treble: Euros-World Cup-Euros. Portugal are next. It always looked that way after Spain scored a 19th-minute opener. When Alonso coolly side-footed in a penalty a little over an hour later, victory was secure. For all the concern, Spain progressed. The key was control, achieved with dominance of midfield. Vicente Del Bosque admitted to doubts and resolved them by selecting Cesc Fábregas over Fernando Torres. Laurent Blanc insisted that it was impossible to compete with Spain for possession and anticipated that France would enjoy only a third of the ball. His prediction was not far off. He had hoped France would be dangerous when they did get it. That part of the plan did not come together.
Laurent Koscielny came in to replace the suspended Philippe Mexès and there were two right-backs in the French side, with Anthony Réveillère getting his first minutes of the tournament; ahead of him, Mathieu Debuchy returned to the defence from midfield. The plan seemed clear: Garer l'autobus. But France parked it higher than anticipated. Spain were offered a certain space to seek behind the back line.
When Del Bosque complained that the criticism had been exaggerated, he did admit that there were elements of Spain's performances that had not pleased him. Two words were repeated often: profundidad and verticalidad. He wanted depth to the attacks, principally from the full-backs, and greater cutting edge, more directness.
Here, Spain looked for the space behind the defence often and after just five minutes Alonso swung a curling ball over the top for Fábregas, who tumbled in the area, while both full-backs were choosing their runs carefully and often. When Jordi Alba progressed on the left in the 19th minute, they paid dearly.
The move began with seemingly little malicious intent, until an almost imperceptible swivel from Andrés Iniesta's hips and a dash from Alba changed everything. Suddenly, the pace quickened and France were opened. Spain were in the lead. The ball was moved from right to left, Xavi Hernández rolling a simple pass to Iniesta. He snaked away from his marker and slotted a ball for Alba's run. Alba got away from Debuchy, stumbling behind him, and was now ahead of the play. The cross was clipped towards the back post where Alonso was closing in. His header, down on to the turf and back up into the far corner, was impeccable.
So much for two right-backs. So often, it has taken Spain a long time to get the opener. Now, they had got it early; now, France had little choice but to break with their plan. They never managed it. Spain could keep the ball and few keep the ball like Spain. Alonso started superbly: he found Fábregas for the penalty appeal, almost surprised Hugo Lloris from long-range and got the opening goal. Iniesta and Fábregas then combined with a typical move, the Barcelona midfielder clipping a first-time ball into Iniesta's path. Spain were dominating possession, even if Iker Casillas was forced to make a sharp save from Yohan Cabaye's free-kick.
Early in the second half, Karim Benzema's quick first-time pass looked for Franck Ribéry but Sergio Ramos closed him down. A moment later the same two players combined after Cabaye had won the ball from Sergio Busquets. Just as there appeared to be a gap to exploit, the final pass was poorly hit. Almost immediately, Ribéry was involved once more, Benzema peeling away, but the pass was mis-hit. These were no more than glimpses but they had come in quick succession: it was clear where France's threat was likely to come from.
But the threat was fleeting, even if there was seemingly greater intent about Blanc's side. Ribery's cross found Debuchy to head over and there was half an hour remaining. It felt like Spain were no longer in complete control but nor were they ever in trouble. Lloris had to be fast off his line to prevent Fábregas from adding a second. Meanwhile, Pedro and Torres were preparing to come on, offering a more direct, faster threat. As they were given instructions, Samir Nasri and Jérémy Ménez were limbering up. Decisive moments approached, and yet the game in fact drifted away.
Pedro and Torres had been on the pitch for only a minute when they almost combined. Busquets then gave the ball away with an ill-advised flick that almost caught Spain out, Gaël Clichy slotting the ball up the line and Ribery sprinting into the area to pull back a sharp, low cross that Casillas had to intercept. And that, in truth, was that.
Decisive moments became rather dead ones until Pedro was bundled over by Réveillère and Alonso stepped up to send Spain through to the semi-finals.
