About a month ago I was exchanging emails with my long-time friend and former business colleague George Taniwaki. During the course of the digital conversation George mentioned that he had made the decision to donate a kidney to an undesignated recipient as a living donor. This is a particularly selfless act – George does not know the potential recipient, who will be identified through a tissue match. Sailing in uncharted waters, George found the donation process to be both extremely interesting and amazingly challenging.
At this time more than 80,000 people are on the official Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) kidney waiting list. One study estimated that there are an additional 80,000 people in this country who are not on the list who are good transplant candidates. Last year just 15,517 people received transplants. More than 4,000 of those on the list died waiting for a kidney transplant – an average of 11 individuals each day.
Dialysis can save a life, but the quality of that life is impaired. Patients must spend up to four hours three times a week connected to a dialysis machine. They may develop health problems such as anemia, they can suffer from weight gain and bloating, and because they eventually lose the ability to urinate they must severely restrict fluid intake. In comparison, kidney transplant recipients must take immunosuppresants, but can otherwise lead near-normal lives.
When George offered to tell his story, I jumped at the chance to share it here. Over the next several weeks, you will learn the "back story", which began in November 2007 when George made his decision to become a living kidney donor. After that series of posts is complete, he will continue to provide regular updates as he continues the process.
George hopes that by sharing his personal journey with others it will raise awareness of the urgent need for kidney donations and encourage another person to consider donating a kidney to help someone in need. Here is George's first post; please read on to learn how he decided to become a living kidney donor and make a real difference in someone's life.
George Taniwaki: I'm donating my kidney, I hope you do too!
It's Nov 25, 2007 and I've decided to donate one of my kidneys to a person who needs it. Unlike most people who make this decision, I'm not helping a relative, a friend, or a neighbor. Instead, I'm going to donate it through a charity that will match me with a recipient.
It's a big decision and not one I've taken lightly. However, I've done my research and feel confident that the benefits vastly outweigh the risks. The recipient of the kidney will probably be able to stop dialysis, which will greatly improve his quality of life and quite possible will save his life. Meanwhile, the risks to my own health are minimal.
I've just signed up with two organizations, the National Kidney Registry and the Alliance for Paired Donation, that will coordinate with participating hospitals to match donors with recipients.
Two factors have led me to my decision to donate a kidney. First, I've known several people who have donated a kidney, who have needed a kidney, or have worked for the National Kidney Foundation.
Second, I've been a blood donor, and more recently a plasma donor, for most of my adult life. I'm comfortable with donating a part of my body to a stranger to save their life. I'm not concerned about the discomfort or pain caused by having surgery. And I'm not worried about the loss of income (I don't get paid sick time) while I stay home during my recovery.
(To be continued next week.)
George Taniwaki is a software program manager living in Bellevue, Washington.
Editor's note: Over the next several months, Mr. Taniwaki will be writing about his experiences on the path to becoming a living kidney donor for an undesignated recipient. Please note that the opinions expressed are those of Mr. Taniwaki and do not represent medical or legal advice.

Brittany Climate & Weather
Brittany Climate and Weather
Brittany has a warm, temperate climate with frequent rainfall and wet weather. Sunny, cloudless days are also common throughout the year and summer months see temperatures reach as high as 86°F (30°C) while the winter months are wet and mild with average daytime temperatures reaching 42°F (6°C). Summers don't get as hot as in some other areas of France, just as the winters don't get as cold. The spring and autumn seasons are changeable and the weather can be unpredictable; spring and autumn tend to get the most stormy weather.
Some of Brittany's best hotels and restaurants are closed during the winter months, so the best time to visit is April through October. It is best to avoid August, the hottest month of the year and the French national holiday, because the region becomes overcrowded and more expensive. Whatever time of year you visit take along a foul-weather jacket to stay comfy in the capricious coastal climate - though you are unlikely to need it in summer.

In Detroit, it is a fact of life that you are what you drive.
GM and Chrysler have staked their future — and some $20 billion of taxpayer-backed loans — on the idea that they can reinvent themselves as lean, green and mean manufacturers of small and fuel-efficient cars and electric-drive vehicles.
That's a vision that resonates with the Obama administration, which has announced an ambitious target of putting 1 million plug-in hybrid cars like the much-touted Chevy Volt on the road by 2010.
But some of Detroit's highest-profile auto executives are still driving like its 1999. Their rides still harken back to the era when they were the kings of the road.
GM sales chief Mark LaNeve called in from the road on Friday to brief reporters on the automaker's plans to cut dealerships.
LaNeve said he used OnStar's hands-free dialing to join the conference call from the cockpit of a luxury Cadillac Escalade SUV.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.— The 2012 flu season is already shaping up to be much different than in years past. This flu season is starting earlier, and it's making doctors nervous.
"We've been seeing patients everyday with the flu, and we started seeing them probably three to four weeks ago," said Dr. Charles Bregier of Presbyterian Urgent Care.
It's unusual. Flu season usually peaks in January, but the CDC says this season is already off to a dangerous start.
"My throat hurts, light headed, spitting up a lot of stuff, kind of crappy overall," said Carter Mahoney as he sat in the Urgent Care waiting to be seen.
Mahoney's coworkers urged him to get tested. He's not alone. Bregier said he worked long past normal hours last week seeing patients who were sick.
And the doctor warns that even patients who have had the flu already, could get sick again. Just because you've had the flu already, and didn't get the flu shot, you should still be vaccinated, he said.
"'We've seen patients who say, 'I've had the flu last month. I'm sick again now.' You can have the flu two to three times in a particular season," he said.
Bregier says healthcare workers, teachers, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, children in daycare and students are especially at risk.
Everyone could be nailed by this year's flu if they're not vaccinated, he warns.

I focus on taxes and litigation.
Taxes are on everyone's mind right now. Much of the debate is about who pays, who doesn't and who should. But it's also about fairness. Is it fair for everyone to pay the same rate, or for those who earn more to pay more?
This isn't a new question. In 1953, two University of Chicago law professors, Walter J. Blum and Harry Kalven Jr. published The Uneasy Case for Progressive Taxation, an influential work addressing our tax system. With a flat tax, everyone pays the same percentage rate. Those with higher incomes simply pay larger amounts.
With progressive rates, additional dollars are subjected to higher marginal rates even though the first dollars qualify for lower rates. Progressivity has resulted in some bizarre history, including a time when U.S. taxpayers paid 70% on some income. Rates were even higher in England.
More than mere rates, what most people find inequitable is Byzantine complexity and endless special rules. Some seem arbitrary or flatly wrong. Like so much else in life, it hurts most in your backyard.
This article: The Most Outrageous Tax of the Year, notes that taxes on forgiven debt can be especially egregious. We know when a debt is forgiven you generally have income. See Ten Things To Know About COD Income. Because the exceptions to cancellation of debt income are narrow, Congress enacted the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act in 2007.
Unfortunately, even these rules are limited. What's more, they expire at the end of 2012. That means you can be taxed when you have a debt forgiven and must dig in your pocket to pay the IRS.
What other tax rules seem especially unfair? If you've been a successful litigant you may feel skewered by paying tax on monies your lawyer receives. If you hire a lawyer on contingency and settle a lawsuit, a third or more of the money will be paid directly to your lawyer.
Even so, the IRS treats it as 100% paid to you. In two cases, you won't pay tax on the lawyer's fees. The first is if 100% of your damages aren't taxable (say an auto crash injury). The second is if your case is against your employer. See Six Tax-Wise Ways To Reduce Your Legal Bills.
But in other suits, attorney fees are income to you but your deduction for them is only a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to strict limits and to the alternative minimum tax. Bottom line: you pay tax on money your attorney received. See Duke Lacrosse Tax Lien Highlights How Lawsuits Are Taxed.
What else is unfair? It depends on which tax rule hits you hardest. Apart from rate discussions, greater simplicity and transparency would be big improvements.

This discussion is not intended as legal advice, and cannot be relied upon for any purpose without the services of a qualified professional.
On the 1st July this year, Australia introduced the controversial "Carbon tax".
It's too early yet to know if it will ever reduce mans fouling of the environment, but it may have an immediate effect on the political scene.
It's also too soon to judge its effect on peoples pocket, but it doesn't stop people complaining.
Regardless of all this, it's given me a lot of material for my cartoons.
It would have helped if you listed the fundamental reasons for Federal income taxes, none of which is to raise revenue for the Federal Government to meet its obligations.
We are taxed to,
–make us accept the otherwise worthless paper called the dollar
–manage aggregate demand and reduce inflationary pressures
–redistribute and distort incomes
–allow government to select winners and losers by subsidizing private enterprise
–measure the costs of Federally funded public purpose program
Monetary sovereign, by definition, eliminates the need to raise revenue to spend. Our Federal government must issue the currency before it can tax or borrow it. The Treasury and Fed have created byzantine accounting practices to satisfy archaic legislative recordation needs which feed into CBO's own record keeping and reportage.
What most Americans harbor are notions of gold standard principles abandoned in August, 1971, but which remain driving forces leading to the mismangement of fiscal and monetary policy today. We don't need a balanced budget and deficits are nothing more than accounting realities; the Federal governments deficit is equal to the penny to net financial assets in the non-government sector.
Because a monetarily sovereign nation is the monopoly issuer of its currency there should only be one tax, and that should be to eliminate the likelihood of inflation, because the Federal Government never runs the risk of insolvency.
All current tax code provisions are either discriminatory or punitive given current, longstanding core and real inflation rates in the U.S. A large part of our economic stagnation is due to the overtaxation of workers and the maldistribution of monetary palliatives.
In a capitalist economy sales are required to generate economic growth. Therefore, income must not be constrained by taxation preventing economic growth.
BTW, the study you reference, "This isn't a new question. In 1953, two University of Chicago law professors, Walter J. Blum and Harry Kalven Jr. published The Uneasy Case for Progressive Taxation, an influential work addressing our tax system."
Was based on gold standard rules and fixed exchange rates. They no longer apply in our fiat currency, flexible exchange rate world—post Bretton Woods.
and Professor l. Randall Wray's, "Modern Money Theory"
what do you think about a single step progressive tax system where the first say 50k is completely untaxed, and then the rest is taxed all the same?
that would mean people making 70k are taxed on 20k of their salary (28% of the total is taxed) and a person making a million is taxed on 950k (95% of the total is taxed)
if there is a 25% tax on everything over 50k, the 70k would pay effectively 6.6% and the million would pay 23.75%
you could peg the "50k" to what ever rate you want and alter it based on inflation.
I pretty much agree with what you have said, except that it seems to me that you are getting the cart before the horse, as the saying goes.
You are accepting the tax laws, rates, rules, and regulations as being true and correct, albeit in some cases unfair, and underlying you are accepting that the government needs to collect the taxes it does and perhaps more than it does and that each one of us is obligated to pay his fair share of the amount the government has determined is needed.
That's totally bogus. Tax money has a purpose, a singular purpose, and that is to pay the costs of the legitimate activities of government. And I have a serious problem with the activities of our federal government. This is not a new problem. I dare say that this problem has existed since immediately after our Constitution was originally ratified. The Founding Fathers determined that the federal government was to be limited, very limited, and therefore its expenditures were and are to be very limited. They sealed it up with the Tenth Amendment, giving all powers not specifically enumerated in the Constitution to the states and to the people. Ever since then politicians, bureaucrats, and even the Supreme Court have made every effort to finagle their way around this to the point that we have this monstrous federal government mostly doing unconstitutional things and charging us for them. A quick read of the 2012 federal budget tells me that at least 69% is unconstitutional. That includes the 45% for Social Security and Medicare.
Is anything going to be done about this? Not as long as politicians and bureaucrats are in control of the government. I believe that our only real solution is for a new generation of Founding Fathers, willing to risk their fortunes and lives, to arise and instigate a New American Revolution. It seems to me that, according to our Declaration of Independence, we not only have the right to do this, but the duty.
When thinking about taxation whether it should be progressive or flat most people tend to think only about the federal income taxes we pay and not all of the other taxation that we pay. Most of which is neither progressive or flat, but regressive taxation. Property taxes are regressive taxation because someone who owns outright a $200K house and makes $200K a year pays the same dollar amount in property taxes that his neighbor who has his $200K house mortgaged to the hilt and only makes $100K a year.
Sales tax is another regressive form of taxation because when someone making a million dollars a year goes and buys a tank full of gas for their car they pay the same dollar amount in taxes as the cleaning lady making $10K a year to fill up her gas tank. As a percentage of their incomes the cleaning lady is paying a much higher rate of taxes.
The same goes for all of the taxation that we pay in the form of fees like fishing licenses, tags for vehicles, etc…
So although I agree that the tax code needs to be simplified a great deal I do not think that we need to adjust or do away with one of the only progressive taxes that we have. It helps to offset the unfairness of the rest of the taxes we all pay.

I write about entrepreneurship, leadership and everything in-between.
Greek God Caerus personifies opportunity. Youth-led global organization AIESEC truly embodies leadership and entrepreneurship development. This post celebrates the lineage of Caerus by applauding AIESEC for creating opportunities that grooms leaders, entrepreneurs and global citizens who transcend borders and geographic constraints.
The other day, I experienced an epiphany. Over the past few months, I interviewed many founders of startups and successful ventures. My blog-post inventory also swelled with decent-to-great blog post ideas and drafts. However, I wanted this post to celebrate the Spirit of Entrepreneurship with a metaphoric exuberance that befits the subject and reflects my passion for it.
My search was for something that I could identify with that had an unparalleled track record in leadership and entrepreneurship development while creating a body of work that is meaningful and lasts for decades and generations. This post would also pay tribute to Caerus, Greek mythological personification of opportunity, luck and favorable moments.
Then it dawned upon me that the ideal subject for this "high-ask" blog post should be AIESEC. This global organization lives entrepreneurship with a piety that belies ulterior motives or personal gains in name of "value" for the "customer". It ranks in the highest echelons among "platforms" offering leadership development and nurturing entrepreneurial mindsets. For over 64 years, this organization has been driven by its vision to promote world peace, cultural understanding, youth empowerment and leadership development.
French acronym for Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales, AIESEC today operates in areas that transcend the confines of its original French full-form.
As an active AIESECer, I find AIESEC is not only a learning platform, but as a real business of changing people's lives. It enables me to clearly understand the meaning behind the phrase "develop yourself through developing others". It enables me to keep idealism alive while giving me space to do great things for others. This is one of the rare platforms where youth from around the globe can share the same positive values, talk about their belief towards humanity, and their ability to really create positive impacts to society. Thank you for the great article :)

Let me know if you'd like Mobify to participate in the survey of AIESEC-influenced start-ups. Myself and two colleagues first worked together as an organizing committee for a conference six years ago and now are really happy working together!
Great article! Thanks for sharing this!
AIESEC is definitely the experience to change your life and the life of others, it's a powerful network that could change the world, and also is doing it in different ways. I think every student in the world should know about AIESEC. AIESEC helped me to win the most beatiful professional experiences. Greetings from a Colombian AIESECer in Chile.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Metro Police say a hiker alerted them to an
illegal marijuana growing operation in Clark County canyon and that
officers found 11,000 plants.
KLAS-TV reports that the plants had a street value of $16.5 million. Police say it's one of the largest marijuana growing operations they've discovered in Clark County.
The hiker led police to the plants Wednesday. Police say they found four separate plots located at about 8,400 feet in the Wallace Canyon.
The officers destroyed the plants.

I typically buy these chicken breasts and bake them in the oven:
I base my meals off of the "cooked" stats you will see on the page. Basically from uncooked to cooked the 4 oz stats become the 3 oz stats. So each oz of chicken is 40 calories.
This week I couldn't find them so I bought the local Publix brand:
These are 97/3 chicken breasts vs. the 99% fat free ones I typically buy. There was visible white fat on the chicken, although I didn't remove. I cooked them on the foreman grill.
The stats only show 4 oz, but no cooked stats. Can I assume its the same affect as the ones I usually use where 4 oz turns into 3 oz? So 43 calories per oz of chicken? Was I suppose to remove the visible fat? Is this included in the nutrition breakdown?
I know I may be nitpicking, but I'm leaning out to my final few pounds and want to make sure I'm counting right!
Thanks guys!
I'd only say you're nitpicking because the nutrition facts tend to be averages with margins of error to plus or minus 10% in nearly every macronutrient and calorie count by weight overall, which means that the information probably varies as much between the Perdue breasts as those ones do to the Publix. And honestly, if you spend an extra three second per bite chewing, you'll make up the caloric difference.
Assume they're identical.

I agree with the chewing parameter. Calories count can't be said on a empirical basis as to how much it totally consists of.

If I bother to go into details, she will be accompanied by two of her fellow Korean skaters including Jin-Seo Kim (who's also participating in the event), an international judge representing KSF at the event, some officials, her manager, and the coaches of the athletes including two of hers. And FYI she does her own makeup and hairdo.
Lighten up, and enjoy her return. Like many of us here.

"Those new senses she'd been given went dark just as suddenly as they'd come to her, although she could now sense the upkeep of the units she was stacked with."Free Radical wrote:From when Wanda briefly became Overlord of Goodminton, we know that her Ruler senses disappeared when she became a barbarian.
Is that really her sense disappearing? It doesn't answer one critical question: do her senses go dark because she ceases to be a ruler, or do they go dark because she no longer has anyone to rule? It's the difference between not being able to hear and being in silence. Given that Jillian used "I'm not a Ruler" as proof that her father was alive, I think we have no choice but to conclude that Wanda continued to be ruler of Goodminton until she turned to Haffaton. If Jillian had said something like, "I never became a ruler" then she might have been referring to a passing moment of being a ruler, but instead she actually seemed to expect that if Banhammer had died then she would still be a ruler.

Take a moment to glance at the photo above the text you're currently reading. Note the horns and the guy tap-dancing.
"This is hip-hop?" you may ask. It certainly is, according to the group's MC — that and more.
"We like to think of ourselves as an evolution of hip-hop, soul and jazz," said Rico Sisney of the group Sidewalk Chalk. "...Every song that we make kind of has all three of those elements in some proportion.
"A lot of people are always kind of surprised by our instrumentation," he continued. "You hear 'hip-hop band,' you're not necessarily expecting to hear that we have a horn section or a tap dancer or a male MC and a female vocalist."
Chicago-based Sidewalk Chalk incorporates all of these musicians and sonic elements. On Saturday night, the group's eclecticism will be on display at A Constant Spring in downtown Goshen. Also on the concert bill will be The B.E.A.T., hip-hop adventurers from South Bend.
In addition to Sisney, Sidewalk Chalk consists of Maggie Vagle on vocals, Charlie Coffeen on keys, Garrett McGinn on bass, Tyler Berg on drums, tap dancer Jumaane Taylor, David Ben-Porat on trombone and Sam Trump on trumpet. The group formed in 2008 after several of the members met while studying music at Columbia College in Chicago. More were later added to the Chalk circle.
"It was pretty spontaneous, just to kind of do something new and see what happened," Coffeen said.
What happened, and continues to happen, doesn't lend itself to categorization.
"We never really made a conscious effort to start a hip-hop band, or write a hip-hop song or to write a jazz song, or anything like that," Coffeen said. "The influences from everybody are so broad and the group is so diverse that I think our sound just kind of happens. There's rarely a time when we say, 'We want a song to sound like this' or 'We want someone to be reminded of this when they listen to our record.' It just kind of happens that way — there's lots of jazz, there's lots of hip-hop, there's lots of funk, Curtis Mayfield type of stuff. We're all across the board with it."
In addition to playing music, Coffeen teaches a course in hip-hop history. He views, and hears, hip-hop as a big sonic tent.
"The music is based on other people's music," he said, citing the history of DJs sampling records for parties before MCs even entered the picture. "That's what it's all about: It's about reinterpreting the music that came before you and turning it into something new. And that's kind of what we do. We don't do it with a DJ and sampling records, but we definitely take bits and pieces of everything that's going on around us and turn it into our own thing."
Sidewalk Chalk's musical thing has garnered notice. The Chicago Reader dubbed the group the "Best Hip-Hop Act in Chicago of 2010." This year, the Chalk is nominated for two Chicago Music Awards: Best New Entertainer and Best Musical Group.
"That's a pretty big deal for us," Coffeen said.
On Saturday, Sidewalk Chalk's heralded performance will be seen and heard downtown. Coffeen sounds proud of the live show that will be on display at The Spring.
"There's nothing like it, really," he said. "We're a big band. The energy is just through the roof onstage. We try to bring the energy out of the crowd. The more they give us, the more we're able to give back.
"We have tons of fun on stage," Coffeen continued. "Every show is different. We actually have a couple brand new tunes we're going to be playing in Goshen, so that will be fun for us. Really, we just try to have a good time and give people something they've never seen before."

President Barack Obama and Republican hopeful Gov. Mitt Romney met Tuesday night for their second debate this election season, this time in a "town hall" format that allowed citizens to ask questions on foreign policy, oil and jobs, among other topics.
The debate, at Hofstra University in New York, was crucial for both candidates, who are less than a month out from the Nov. 6 election.
The candidates' running mates debated last week in Kentucky. Many experts said Vice President Joe Biden came out ahead of Republican candidate Paul Ryan in the meeting.
Some said Obama needed to be more aggressive after a performance in the first debate experts dubbed "passive" and "safe." Romney supporters said he needed to maintain the momentum he gained in his first appearance.
Tell us: Who performed better at Tuesday's debate? Were there any questions you would have liked asked? Did the debate strengthen or hurt either campaign? Was there a clear winner?

TRAVERSE CITY — A few years ago, Candace Wallace was reading about cuts to the arts in schools and worried that it would become available only to the privileged.
So the lifelong educator and choir director decided to create "Pure A Cappella," an evening that showcases area vocalists, with the proceeds supporting local music programs.
The second annual "Pure A Cappella" music festival will be held Saturday, March 16, at 7 p.m. in Milliken Auditorium.
"What's exciting about this concert is it's all about singers helping to keep singers singing," she said.
This year the proceeds will benefit Traverse City Central High School's chorale trip to Estonia and Latvia.
"It's for a great cause and an amazing opportunity for these kids," she said.
This year's performers include student groups from Traverse City Central's Chorale choir, the Choral-Aires and Sock Apella, an ad hoc of Chorale.
Trillium Singers, a group founded by Wallace, as well as Quad Pro Quo, a men's barbershop quartet, along with the women's barbershop quartet, Sashay, will join them. Wallace said a surprise group will also perform.
Dick Wallace, host of "Pops Potpourri" on WTCM AM 580 and former Interlochen Public Radio host, will emcee.
"We'll be showcasing a variety of music," said Candace Wallace. "There will be music from Estonia, barbershop, oldies and more up-to-date."
Wallace said she's pleased to be helping the more than 40 Central choir members get to Europe.
"Latvia is a choral music haven and they have a singing festival every other year in Estonia," she said.
Micaela Jankowski, a member of Traverse City Central's Chorale and Choral-Aires who performed last year in "Pure A Cappella," is excited to be included in this collaboration again.
"It really gives us an avenue to express ourselves, using our favorite tool — pure voice. And with our music we get to show the community what it is that we work for everyday — to be heard," she said.
Wallace said the concert is also a great opportunity for the community to come listen to singing without musical accompaniment.
"It's a little more intimate with no instruments," she said. "It's so interesting to hear the overtures of the voices and the colors the human voice can have."
Tickets are $12 and available at www.MyNorthTickets.com or at Oryana in Traverse City.

Robust Control Toolbox
Detailed first-principles or finite-element plant models often have a large number of states. Similarly, H-infinity and mu-synthesis algorithms tend to produce high-order controllers with superfluous states. Robust Control Toolbox provides algorithms that let you reduce the order (number of states) of a plant or controller model while preserving its essential dynamics. As you extract lower-order models, which are more cost-effective to implement, you can control the approximation error.
The model reduction algorithms are based on Hankel singular values of the system, which measure the energy of the states. By retaining high-energy states and ignoring low-energy states, the reduced model preserves the essential features of the original model. You can use the absolute or relative approximation error to select the order, and use frequency-dependent weights to focus the model reduction algorithms on specific frequency ranges.
Simplifying Higher-Order Plant Models
Approximate higher-order plant models with simpler, lower-order models.

What a superpower wants
Guest post written by David Roman, Lenovo CMO
What makes a brand truly global and why the top brands from the West should not be complacent.
Market research agency Millward Brown Optimor released their 7th annual BrandZ "Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands" last month. Much attention was paid to the fact that 13 companies within the rankings are from China. However, the idea that all these companies are "global brands" may be a little misleading. Many of them are indeed very large and successful companies, but in reality most worldwide consumers will fail to recognize them. Because the majority of their business is conducted within China, they have yet to gain recognition with consumers elsewhere; they are not yet truly global.
I suggest that for a brand to be called "global," it needs to power a company that sells products globally. The fact is that many Chinese and other emerging market companies have phenomenal business success, but they have not yet leveraged that success into a high brand value outside their home markets. This "business success – brand momentum gap" should be taken into account when deciding whether a brand is truly GLOBAL or just really BIG.
Lenovo, the company I work for, is the world's second largest PC maker and the fastest growing in the industry. We were founded some 25 years ago in China. Outside of China, even after our reasonably well-known acquisition of IBM's PC division, we register as barely a blip in global brand-valuation. And we are not alone. Other notable Chinese companies like China Mobile, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Sina, to name a few, are among the biggest companies in the world. They make a lot of money. They employ a lot of people. They are successful and growing rapidly. Yet, they are practically unknown beyond their home markets.
Just as many companies in emerging markets have operationally and technologically caught up to the West, the next natural step in their corporate evolutions is to build global brands that have global meaning. In a recent survey of Chinese executives, some 80% said globalization is a strategic priority and half said they plan to be multinational players within a decade.
Historically, it has taken companies a long time to translate such business success into brand value. Today's global brands primarily got their start in the West and, with few exceptions, took many years to achieve global prominence. Even brands from Japan and Korea took decades to rise.
Some critics say that it will be years, possibly many years, before we see truly global Chinese brands. But I believe there are two factors that will close the gap for Chinese brands between their business success and brand momentum and quicken the rise of a new set of global power brands from emerging markets.
First, with the rise of Asia and emerging market economies fueling much of the world's growth, we're seeing a shift to a much larger global market that resets the playing field and opens the door to new entrants. Today, with slow or no-growth markets in the West, no company can expect to be globally competitive without a brand that is strong where there is growth. And, since emerging market brands have a natural advantage in this respect – in terms of market share in their home market and the ability to nimbly execute in other fast growth emerging markets – they have a fantastic asset to leverage on the road to being global.
Second, the rise of a so-called "Net-Generation" youth market, which exhibits important commonalities that cross borders and cultures. The cultural references, the way they communicate, the music they listen to and the videos they watch are similar, if not the same around the world. They are Internet natives. They can't imagine a world without instant access, feedback, insight and impact. There are more than one billion of them, and already more than half hail from emerging markets.
The BrandZ Top 100 doesn't discriminate on the basis of the number of countries a brand is present in. What's important is that the brand is loved by consumers and performs well financially. The BrandZ ranking is unique because as well as financial data, the valuation also draws on research collected from over 2 million consumers in over 41 countries.
As the Chinese domestic market is so huge, with over 530 million consumers, companies such as Baidu, Tencent and ICBC, who have worked hard to build their brands, can achieve phenomenal levels of success from the Chinese domestic market alone. While many of the 13 Chinese brands in the BrandZ Top 100 remain largely unknown outside of China, we do not exclude them from the ranking because of this.
Brands such as Tsgintao, Lenovo, Li-Ning and Anta have already taken international steps and it's only a matter of time before they take their place on the global stage.
Robert, it is very incorrect of you to claim that 'Net Gen consumers are the undisputed arbiters of coolness and are re-defining the brand experience'. This position merely reflects your limited vision. How else can you exclude 50% of the world's population? Think about it. Now go and research the concept of ethical marketing and maintain a vow of silence for one week on Mount Shasta as punishment for your error in judgement.

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets, making a strong late-season push, moved a step closer to reaching the Stanley Cup playoffs Thursday.
The Carolina Hurricanes, no longer in the playoff conversation, moved another step closer to the end of the season.
The Jets, taking advantage of a run of home games, topped the Hurricanes 4-3 in overtime at MTS Centre to extend their winning streak to five games. They're looking every bit the team that can take the Washington Capitals to the wire in the Southeast Division, trailing the Caps by two points.
Dustin Byfuglien's goal with 3:37 left in overtime was the winner after Justin Peters stopped a shot by Andrew Ladd.
The Hurricanes (17-23-3) had their playoff chances end when the New York Rangers topped the Florida Panthers 6-1 on Thursday. In five more games, their season will be over.
The Canes played without forward Jeff Skinner, who absorbed an open-ice hit from Ottawa"s Jared Cowen and was knocked out of the game Tuesday in Ottawa. Skinner returned to Raleigh for medical evaluaton, but general manager Jim Rutherford said Thursday Skinner did not suffer a concussion.
Ondrej Pavelec, making his ninth straight start in net, gave the Jets another strong game, giving up two goals to the Canes' Tuomo Ruutu and then a goal by Alexander Semin with 1:12 left in regulaton that tied the score 3-3 and forced overtime.
Ruutu scored in the second period with a shot from the slot. In the third, he got a piece of a Marc-Andre Bergeron shot from the point.
Semin's goal came with Peters pulled from the net for a sixth attacker.
"We played pretty good game, just couldn't get the finish we wanted," Ruutu said. "In the third period I thought we were pushing. We had a couple of opportunities (late in regulation). Maybe next time."
Defensemen Zach Bogosian and Paul Postma scored goals as the Jets (23-19-2) led 1-0 after the opening period and moved ahead 2-0 in the second. Bogosian also assisted on Postma's power-play score.
Blake Wheeler then roared down ice and scored in the third period as Winnipeg's top line continued to pile up points and spearhead the Jets.
Bogosian had the only goal -- and provided about the only excitement -- in a lackluster first period. On a rush into the Canes zone, he thrust out his stick to poke the puck wide and past Peters.
"It's a tough building to play in and you have to be really ready, work hard, skate hard, hit hard," Ruutu said. "They were a little bit better in the first period but then I thought we were pretty good."
Ruutu missed much of the season as he recovered from hip surgery and did not have a goal in his first 11 games. But the winger took a pass in the slot from Faulk and ripped a shot past Pavelec with 9 minutes, 22 seconds left in the second period.
In the third, he went to the front of the net to tip the Bergeron shot.
"He's a very efficient player," Begreron said of Ruutu. "He's really hard to play against. He goes to the dirty areas and is a very solid player all around."
Penalties dogged the Hurricanes in the game. Faulk was called for tripping 46 seconds into the game. With three seconds left in the Faulk penalty, Jordan Staal was called for hooking the Jets' Blake Wheeler.
In the second period, Canes captain Eric Staal was called for an interference penalty. The Canes killed it off but Staal later was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct, possibly for arguing about the interference penalty.
Wheeler's goal, his 17th, came as he took a stretch pass from Bryan Little and split the Canes' defense up the middle of the ice. Little and Ladd each picked up their second assists of the game.
"I've said it for a while, the way we've been playing we haven't gotten great results we really deserve," Canes coach Kirk Muller said. "But again I'm proud of the guys, the way they've been battling. When it does change they're going to get rewarded."
The Hurricanes beat the Jets 3-1 on their last visit to MTS Centre, on March 30, as Peters stopped 34 of 35 shots. That ended a seven-game winless streak, but Carolina followed up the win by losing the next seven games in regulation.
Peters was making his fifth consecutive start for the Canes and had a few sparkling saves. With the game scoreless in the first, the Jets' Evander Kane had an open net, only to have Peters kick out his right leg for a pad save -- Kane looking to the rafter in disbelief.
With the NHL set for realignment and new divisions next season, it was the last Southeast Division game between the Canes and Jets, who relocated to Winnipeg from Atlanta.

Lights! Camera! Banjo!
Meet Mark Bauserman, Executive Director Engineering, Paramount Pictures Corp. Bauserman is a brilliant lighting engineer, a fascinating story teller, and a superior facility planner who knows exactly what he wants from buildings, systems, equipment, and personnel.
Who: Mark Bauserman
What: Executive Director Engineering, Paramount Pictures Corp.
Where: Los Angeles, CA
Why: Bauserman is a brilliant lighting engineer, a fascinating story teller, and a superior facility planner who knows exactly what he wants from buildings, systems, equipment, and personnel. And, he plays the banjo.
About: As one of several engineering students who was a frustrated theater buff, he was the first unofficial graduate of a concept program in Theatre Engineering at Michigan Tech University. Back then, engineering began to play a larger role in live theater production due to the increased use of computers and process controls for lighting and rigging—skills that a Liberal Arts degree wouldn't cover. He later worked for Strand Lighting, a theatrical, motion picture, and TV lighting manufacturer, and then Paramount, which was introducing new lighting technologies because it was getting more involved in TV production. Bauserman has been with Paramount for 28 years.
Q. When you first wanted to be something in life, what was it?
A. In junior high shop class, I discovered that I liked to draw and build things. Then I was given the opportunity to run the lighting for a high school play. After those experiences, I found that I had a gift for lighting. In fact, I say that lighting design is why I was put on the planet.
Q. What helped to keep you on that path?
A. As a frustrated theatre buff at Michigan Tech University, I and other engineering students were given the opportunity to do all the behind-the-scenes theater work from design through execution. Since we had no theater, we would do shows in an ROTC gym, a supper club, and the Calumet Theatre near the campus. It gave us a lot experience in adapting to different environments, and it helped me get my first after-college job as the Lighting Technical Director for Theatre Memphis in Memphis, Tenn.
Q. What life adventure do you have yet to accomplish?
A. To crew on a tall ship, build a log cabin, and play banjo in a family band.
Q. What is working well for the engineering profession?
A. The evolution of the commissioning field. Defining a project up front, managing the design against the definition, and testing to prove it meets the criteria. It is the upfront work that is the most critical.
Q. What is not working well for the engineering profession?
A. The quality of training available for engineers. The best engineers worked in the field with the tools early in their careers. Starting in a trade to learning what you need to know, then going to school to get the classroom training, makes for the best education.
Q. What makes you laugh?
A. The sound of my son laughing with glee.
Q. What gets under your skin?
A. When I make mistakes. It's the perfectionist curse.
Q. What do you look forward to at the end of the day?
A. Playing catch with my son and sitting in front of a crackling wood fire, watching a good movie with my wife.
Q. What do you wonder about?
A. I wonder what the world will be like when my son enters the workforce. As with the World War II "greatest generation" that protected us from world domination, I think that my 9-year-old son will be part of the next greatest generation. His generation will have to solve the world environmental and social problems our generation has created.
Q. What do you remind yourself of often?
A. To listen more, talk less, and count the good things that happen.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Panos Mourdoukoutas, Contributor
I cover global markets, business and investment strategy
New York, the country's third largest milk producer, doesn't have enough cows to raise the supply of milk needed to accommodate the soaring demand.
The reason? Rapid growth of the Greek yogurt industry in New York, combined with environmental regulations that prevent farmers from raising more cows to produce more milk. It's a typical demand/supply imbalance that pushes the price of milk higher, hurting both milk consumers and yogurt producers.
The rapid growth of the Greek yogurt industry at a time when growth is hard to come by highlights the importance of entrepreneurship in revitalizing the country. As discussed in a previous piece, Greek yogurt was brought to New York by Costas Mastoras, owner and founder of Optima and Titan Foods in Astoria, Queens. Costas is the man who discovered FAGE, the first Greek company that mass-produced the centuries-old strained yogurt, and imported it in America.
In the beginning, FAGE yogurt was selling at Titan Foods only, to Greek American customers. Eventually, word of mouth spread the news, and demand expanded among Titan's American customers in Manhattan and Long Island. The turning point, however, came when Trader Joe's and Whole Foods decided to carry the product, and sales jumped from $4 to 40 million.
Now, FAGE doesn't have enough capacity to supply the US market. Besides, what is the point of bringing yogurt from Greece when milk is less expensive in New York?
Eventually, FAGE opened its owned factory in upstate New York. Efratis, a feta cheese company, followed suit shortly after with the brand name "Chobani," which end up dominating the market.
According to a CNBC documentary Chobani saw its sales soar, from nothing in 2007 to $500million by 2011, leaving traditional yogurt makers like General Mills and Kraft (NYSE:KFT) striving to catch up.
The rest is history — In 2010, New York State produced 368 million pounds of yogurt, 60 percent more than five years earlier, straining the State's milk supplies, as Greek yogurt contains more milk than traditional American yogurt.
But there is one more question to be addressed: Will regulations kill another vibrant industry, hurting consumers and producers?
Also read:
How To Live Longer And Happier
New York State is running out of milk and in Barbados, the dairy farmers have to dump excess milk when they've reached their supply quota to the local milk processing plant. Someone in Barbados should take notice of this need in NY.
The dairy farmers are hurting in Barbados. This could be an opportunity for them to sell their excess milk.
So why don't they set up production in say, Wisconsin?
Cheaper labor, lots of milk.
We need regulations, that's a good thing. They just have to figure out a way to safely produce or acquire enough milk to meet demands. And if not, we'll just all have to wait a bit and treat this good like we do any other local/seasonal product. Besides, what's the sense in having a bunch of milk and yogurt if everyone eventually gets sick because regulation standards are allowed to lower?
As a dairy farmer who ships most of my milk to Chobani, I would like everyone to know what a sham DMS is. They control the market on the east coast and keep the price to farmers low. Even with the boom in yogurt production here, we farmers are making no more for our raw milk than the rest of the east coast. As a matter of fact, last May, we were charged a "balancing fee" because they said they had to ship our milk out of the area. At the very same time, they were trucking skim milk to Chobani from Vermont . That is one of the reasons there is a law suit pending against DMS by THEIR OWN MEMBERS! Several local farmers and my small local co-op have offered to sell milk directly to Chobani, but they refuse to deal directly with farmers, because they have to refuse under the threat that DMS will cut their supply short if they do. The government needs to break up the Dean Foods/DMS monopoly, and allow the free market back in to the dairy industry.
Greek yogurt is one the hottest trends in the grocery stores right now and because it is so popular every brand name is getting on the Greek yogurt game. In parallel to this Mediterranean Diet has been reported by several studies that it is probably the healthiest diet of all the diets. Yogurt is one the basic components of the Mediterranean Diet.
We promote Mediterranean diet at http://www.mediterraneandietforall.com/ because we believe in it.

ELYSBURG - State police and the local fire marshal are investigating the cause of a fire that consumed a storage building located behind Vic's Transmission.
An investigation took place this morning and an answer is expected within the next few days, said Bob Dluge, the assistant chief of Elysburg Fire Department.
The building was owned by James Levan, who lives just outside Elysburg, said Dluge. The primary contents of the building were two automobiles and a minor amount of automotive parts. Only one of the vehicles might be salvageable, said Dluge.
There is no damage estimate yet. Dluge said he believed Levan had fire insurance, but was not certain.
Nobody was hurt by the blaze, which had at least 10 regional fire departments responding at around 4:05 p.m. Sunday. While the main fire was knocked down within 10 minutes, firefighters were out until 8:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. putting out additional fire hotspots within the building, said Dluge.
While some of the building is still standing, there was significant damage to its rafters, said Dluge. Firefighters had to evacuate part of it while putting out the fire due to structural instability.
Emergency responders closed down a portion of Route 54 while responding to the blaze.

FW: CVE-2011-4127 kernel: possible privilege escalation via SG_IO ioctl
|[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
----- Forwarded message from Petr Matousek <email@example.com> ----- Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:06:47 +0100 From: Petr Matousek <email@example.com> Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat found out that the host Linux system allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or even on an LVM volume, and will pass the command to the underlying block device. This could be further exploited in the in the context of virtualization, because virtio disks support a limited form of SCSI passthrough via the SG_IO ioctl. If virtio disk is hosted on a partition or LVM volume with format=raw, tools such as sg_dd can be used to read and write other data on the same disk --- even data that belongs to the host or to other guests. References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/8/12/218 https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/8/12/260 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752375 Thanks, -- Petr Matousek / Red Hat Security Response Team ----- End forwarded message ----- For a storage stack to be vulnerable, every layer must forward the SG_IO ioctls to the layer below it. Three device-mapper target types are known to do this: linear, multipath and flakey. If the I/O has to pass through striped, crypt, mirror or snapshot* device-mapper target types or an md software raid layer on its route to disk, any SG_IO will get blocked by those layers and so we believe such configurations are not vulnerable. Immediate mitigation (without patching your kernel/rebooting) is available with a systemtap script mentioned in the bug if you have systemtap installed, or alternatively by creating a patched version of LVM with: http://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2011-November/msg00171.html http://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=commitdiff;h=bb69784719932515baea4757dc9d61e81b825285;hp=8ec116a6b874f3575bc346e4cbd69ac5f0522160 and then setting 'use_linear_target = 0' in the 'activation' section of lvm.conf and running lvchange --refresh on the relevant logical volumes to convert them in-situ from the vulnerable 'linear' target type to the not-vulnerable 'striped' target type. (A linear target works the same as a striped target with just 1 stripe.) When you run 'dmsetup table' you should then see 'striped' in the output where previously there was 'linear'. A kernel patch that fixes device-mapper/LVM devices is here: http://people.redhat.com/agk/patches/linux/editing/dm-block-sg_io-ioctls.patch ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/patches/2.6-unstable/editing/patches/dm-block-sg_io-ioctls.patch Alasdair _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/

Steve Bush announced last week he is running for Floyd County sheriff in 2014. Frank Loop says he has been running for the post for the past six years.
The two Republicans have 17 months to get their message across to voters before the May 2014 primary.
Both candidates are law enforcement veterans. Bush, 45, is a 21-year veteran of the New Albany Police Department while Loop, 53, has been with the Floyd County Sheriff's Department for 31 years. Both also believe they are the right man for the job. Bush was elected in November to a third term as Floyd County Commissioner.
"I try to plan and evaluate where I have been, and where I am going. I've thought about it, talked to my family, and decided this was the right thing to do," said Bush, who has a degree in criminology from Indiana State. "Law enforcement is my profession, my field of choice. I think I have done a good job as commissioner and have been a city police officer for 21 years.
"It just makes sense when you put everything together. I will be able to put all of my experiences together — from law enforcement to working with budgets as a commissioner. As a commissioner, I have a better understanding of what is going on. I think all of those things makes me a viable candidate."
Loop holds a criminal justice degree and teaches it at Ivy Tech. He is also a graduate of the FBI Academy. He lost his bid for sheriff in 2006 to Darrell Mills. He is currently the Greenville Township Trustee.
"I have always been running. When I lost to Sheriff Mills in 2006 my intention was to run again," Loop said. "I might as well follow my dream.
"I have been on the county police department for 31 years and have the education and experience working with the public. I am out there every day with them."
Mills, a Democrat, is in his second term and is not permitted to run again because of term limits.
Bush said he expects a tough election which is why he wanted to announce early.
"You have to get a plan together, begin fundraising and campaigning," he said. "It's early, but you want to get your organization together.
"It will be an open field and a tough election. I have never had a primary opponent so that will be different. But I think I am up to the task. You have to expect everything. I will just campaign on what I can offer and my experience."
Loop also expects a tough campaign. However, he said being chief of the sheriff's department on two separate occasions, and from holding every job except for sheriff, gives him a solid chance. He is currently a lieutenant on the department.
"I think the public recognizes I know what I am doing," he said. "I think anyone that runs for office believes they have a shot. I think people recognize I have the experience and education to run for sheriff."
Bush said he felt "humbled" by his victory in November where he received more votes — 18,009 — than in his previous two election victories. He also said he will probably face some naysayers since he was just elected to a third term as commissioner.
"I will probably we criticized, but what is wrong with planning for the future? I will be halfway through my term at the time of the election," he said. "I will continue to represent Floyd County as a commissioner, and do what I said I would do when I ran last year."
