"With MathWorks tools, we provide answers to complex portfolio management questions rapidly. Responding quickly to our clients with quantitative analysis is a competitive advantage for EIM."
Dr. Stéphane Daul, EIM Group
Institutional investors, such as insurance companies and central banks, invest in hedge fund portfolios to diversify the risks associated with traditional stock and bond portfolios. To assess, monitor, and forecast these risks, hedge fund portfolio managers rely heavily on quantitative methods. Since hedge funds have more complex statistical characteristics than equities and bonds, however, portfolio managers cannot use traditional models and standard analytical approaches.
EIM Group, a fund-of-funds manager and a global leader in the hedge fund industry, has developed a sophisticated analytical model using MATLAB® that enables portfolio managers to tailor hedge fund portfolios to each client's needs and risk profile using quantitative assessments and risk analysis.
"Using MathWorks tools and enhanced statistical methods, we have constructed a risk model that is unique in the industry," explains Dr. Stéphane Daul, certified financial analyst and senior quantitative analyst at EIM. "Each portfolio manager at EIM uses a compiled, standalone application, also built with MathWorks tools, to incorporate simulation results from the model as they create and monitor portfolios."
To tailor hedge fund portfolios for clients, EIM portfolio managers use advanced analytical models that incorporate copulas, which are mathematical functions to describe the dependencies between investments. Because the complexity of the model makes analytical solutions impossible, EIM uses Monte Carlo simulations of thousands of samples to construct accurate risk and return assessments for each portfolio.
To do this, the company needs a development environment that enables quantitative analysts to model complex algorithms and run thousands of simulations quickly. EIM also needs to build and deploy easy-to-use tools that portfolio managers use to access simulation results and calculate their portfolio's profit-and-loss distribution.
The EIM team uses MATLAB technical computing software to develop and simulate the advanced model for quantitative hedge fund analysis. They then use MATLAB development tools and MATLAB Compiler™ to build and deploy an application that includes a graphical user interface (GUI). Portfolio managers use this standalone application to access simulation results and to calculate their portfolio's profit-and-loss distribution, which includes relevant statistics and measures such as value at risk, drawdowns, expected returns, and the risk contribution of each fund.
The team first used MATLAB to build an advanced analytical model based on a year of research. The group then used MATLAB to run Monte Carlo simulations of 24,000 samples for the 700 hedge funds that the company tracks.
Simulations, which are scheduled to run automatically each night, initially required six hours to complete. To accelerate this task, EIM used Parallel Computing Toolbox™ to run the simulations in parallel on three dual-processor servers, reducing the simulation time by more than four hours.
Using MATLAB development tools, Daul and his team then created a second application for portfolio managers to calculate the profit and loss distribution of their portfolios. This application uses the simulation results built with the distributed computing tools. The results are then displayed in an ActiveX Excel® worksheet.
"Without the MATLAB Compiler, it would have taken us between two to five times longer to develop our deployable application," Daul notes.
EIM used Optimization Toolbox™ to propose allocation weights to their portfolio managers that maximize the Omega ratio, a performance measure that considers the skewness and fat tails inherent in asymmetrical hedge fund distributions.
Throughout development, the group also used Statistics Toolbox™ to create key distributions, histograms, logistic progressions, and linear regressions.
EIM is currently working on the second version of the portfolio management tool. They plan to integrate functionality from existing qualitative risk management tools into their quantitative tools.

The man accused of attempted murder of a Minot police officer was seen beating the officer's head against a post as the officer was limp and passed out.
That's what police say happened Friday night leading to the attempted murder charge along with other felonies including assault on a police officer against Jesse Ili.
Ili is a California native who is attending Minot State University and has been on the football team, although his name has been removed from the team's roster.
In court today Ili was read the charges by judge Richard Hagar, who set his bail at 200-thousand dollars.
Police say officers Eric Laudenschlager and Brandon Schmitt responded to a Friday night call of men smoking marijuana in a car in northwest Minot.
The report says Ili took off running when officers were trying to handcuff him.
Schmitt chased him and used his taser but the taser probes came free when Ili was climbing over a fence.
Schmitt then tried to control Ili by hand.
At the same time Laudenschlager took off chasing another suspect.
But he heard Schmitt calling for help and returned and saw Ili slamming Schmitt's head into a retaining wall post.
Laudenschlager said Schmitt appeared limp and unconscious while Ili continued slamming his head against the post.
Laudenschlager says he used his taser on Ili and tried to cuff him but was elbowed in the throat by the suspect.
Eventually Laudenschlager and a revived Schmitt were able to handcuff Ili.
At today's initial appearance, Ili pleaded for a lower bail saying he is a non-violent person, and his attorney said Ili is not a risk to the general public.
But State's Attorney Roza Larson disagreed, saying anyone who attacks cops and nearly kills one is a risk to the public and should have higher bail.
Judge Hagar set Ili's bail at 200-thousand dollar cash or corporate bond.
Ili's preliminary hearing is set for October 11th.
Both officers injured in the incident attended today's court appearance.

Madelines, of course!
Shortbread and fresh fruit! Though the cookies' flavorsing depend on the tea, of course, some of my favorites are lemon and poppyseed, dark chocolate and craisin, and orange and almond. YUM!
(Also, that tea set is beautiful! I covet!)
scones with clotted cream and lemon curd
My husband is British and my mother-in-law makes all kinds of wonderful sweet treats to have with tea. I love her shortbread, her fruit-loaf, and she makes these delicious chewy oatmeal treats called flapjacks. Oh to be in Scotland with a cup of tea and a flapjack!
Rosemary, lemon and orange infused shortbread. Delightful
My homemade almond poppy seed bread! A coworker told me it was just like his mothers (and that made me happy to no end!).
This may seem silly, but my favorite childhood memory was having tea and a bowl of elbow macaroni in broth with my grandfather at sidewalk cafes in Hong Kong.
a slice of whole grain bread (a really nutty one), spread with goat cheese, and topped with honey and figs.
sweet and savory shortbreads!
my favorite thing to have with tea has to be a simple scone with with clotted cream and jam...any jam will do...but I do love a seeded rasberry or fig...
preferably with a nice breakfast blend tea...yummm!
toasted Ezekiel raisin bread- with creamy neufchatel cheese.
my favorite thing to eat with tea are blueberry lemon scones that my husband makes with a good book on a cool, cloudy fall afternoon.
I love to have tea with a scone with clotted cream and lemon curd, and I love to have some little cucumber sandwiches too.
Back home, my mom always make something called "Parippu vada" (its made with dal: http://pachakam.com/recipe.asp?id=1470) to go with the tea when we come back from school. Its slightly spicy and goes wonderfully with the Chai...
Strawberry tarts with cream and a shortbread crust - YUM!
homemade lemon pound cake....yum!
scones. especially raspberry scones.
Definitely raspberry scones and cucumber and dill sandwiches. Throwback to tea at the hotel with my mother when I was small.....
uh, is crumpets the right answer? unlike everyone else who likes a classic carb item, I usually end up eating carrots with my tea...it's just always been my after work snack.
Chocolate or possibly cardamom cookies. Lovely.
I love red tea with a piece of toasted, buttered, cinnamon'd and sugared sourdough. Heaven.
The classic cucumber sandwich.
Wouldn't it be better to say set of teacups? Tea set implies a teapot and sugar/creamer also.
chocolate! or an english muffin with farm cheese and bacon
beautiful set! I'd love to sip tea out of these and enjoy some shortbread with it!!
Buttery shortbread cookies!
I love homemade Tea Cake with my tea .
I actually love making a green tea salad dressing. Simultaneous eat & drink!
Heh, anything! Tea is my primary drink for meals, be it iced or hot. I suppose my favorite thing with tea is peanut butter toast...or chocolate truffles...or sushi...
muffins, crunchy cookies, anything that doesn't overpower the tea but adds to the flavor. Although i don't really consider it like other teas my favorite tea has to be chai tea.
Although to this day I don't really know what a crumpet is. But when I was little my mom would bring out the tea set and we would make whole wheat toast with some kind of jam. We'd cut them into tiny triangles and sip our tea while eating our 'crumpets'.
This was our special break from 12,000 acres of dryland wheat farming. For a little swedish farmgirl, this was the height of culture. Good memories, thanks. :)
I love to drink tea with raspberry tarts!
Mini cucumber and dill sandwiches, or anything mini really!
Chocolate. Of course thats my favorite thing to eat with any thing. I don't generally eat anything while drinking tea.
blueberry scones!
Cucumber and ham sandiches.
mini tea sandwiches, smoked salmon, and any kind of carbo-loaded baked good!
dainty little tea sandwiches, or knafeh
Pumpkin bread spread with cream cheese!
poppy seed muffins, for sure
When I was in college, I studied in the UK and happened to have the chance opportunity to have high tea at 4pm in a little pub in Canterbury. It was a magical time and the meal that accompanied it was and is my favorite thing to eat with tea.
crispy spicy oatmeal cookies!
For a while, my favourite snack was a pot of tea and toast with jam. Lots of jam. Sometimes, I'll add a spoonful of jam to the tea (a la Russian tea). Works best with cherry or apricot. Serious yum.
Swedish cardamom bread also goes nicely.
Oh, anything with strawberries-- strawberry cake, strawberry parfait, strawberry pie, strawberry shortcake...
almond pear cake
I love to have ginger cookies with my tea! I have to hide them from my husband, because he'll indiscriminately eat them with anything - and fast! Comfy on the couch with tea and cookies is totally the way to be! :)
Well, I think that my very favorite tea to drink is chai, so some cardamom cookies may be my very most favorite thing to eat with the tea. The flavors go so well together.
When I try out the fresh tea from my weekly CSA, I sometimes pair it with shortbread cookies. They soak up everything nice and add a hint of sweetness to the beverage without having to add anything to it.
I eat bagels with my tea. How American of me.
I don't eat anything habitually with tea... that's a hard question! Though if I was planning a tea party, shortbread would be my choice.
Ginger scones fresh from the farmer's market. Nothing like indulging in fresh baked goods after a long saturday morning run.
ritz crackers with peanut butter
homemade cranberry almond biscotti or homemade buttermilk scones with cranberries... i love anything cranberry with my favorite lemon or cranberry apple zinger!
My favorite thing to eat at a tea party would have to be what in my family is referred to as "lady sandwiches." Growing up, my mother hosted her book club a few times a year. When she did, out came the tiny cucumber and cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off, a delicacy my siblings and I were only treated to when all of the ladies came to our house. Not only did we have to be on our absolute best behavior, but if we were extra helpful we got to stay up a little bit later and eat those "lady sandwich" leftovers. I'd share this tea set with my sister and cut the crusts of her sandwich if she was very very good.
Honestly - store bought Nabisco gingersnaps. So spicy!
I switch back and forth between drinking tea and coffee with my breakfast. I'm currently on coffee, but with the rising temperatures, I'll probably be going back to tea soon. Even hot, tea seems less heavy.
In any case, as it is breakfast, I would usually have my tea with some fruit and yogurt, or possibly some cereal. I'm not a fan of dessert for breakfast, and it always feels too early for something like a sandwich, or something heavy like eggs or bacon.
Cucumber and cream cheese on thinly sliced rye bread; tart cherry scones with homemade apricot jam
No joke....Peanut Butter and Jelly. It turned into a late night ritual while doing homework I put off till the last minute.
Homemade banana bread with dollop of whipped cream :-)
Ginger cookies with lemon custard. Mmmm. So perfect with a nice pot of Earl Grey.
ginger lemon scones!
Samosas, the spicier the better!
Belgium Chocolate Cake!
I used to make molasses tea cakes for my husband's grandmother. She always said mine weren't as good as those made in the oven of a wood stove, but she never refused them either.
a smoked salmon and dill tea sandwich, yum!
cucumber, tomato, and cream cheese sandwich!
I like elaborate teas, but they have to end with something very chocolatey, like a truffle.
cardamom scones or cucumber tea sandwiches
anything--everything tastes better with tea
either my homemade raspberry scones or my mom's lemon poppyseed bread - yum!
Breakfast with tea, please!
chocolate digestive biscuits for dipping - yum!
My first inclination was to say "coffee" since I have been known to drink both at the same. But coffee is not really something to eat so I'll say freshly made beignets with tons of powdered sugar.
Lemon lavender shortbread with my earl grey, please!
either a berry-packed blueberry muffin or a korean walnut cookie. yum!
A little bit of milk in the tea served with cinnamon-sugar toast. Mom always gave this to us when we were sick, and I find that it still fixes just about anything.
My fresh anise pizzeles are lovely with tea.
strawberries and clotted cream, cucumber sandwiches, and cream scones (no currents or raisins) with fresh lemon curd
REAL scones (not american) and always love the tea sandwiches...
My favorite thing to eat with tea is anything tiny - finger sandwiches, mini tarts, petit fours. It's all good.
Can't have enough tea sets, never, ever ...
(Did not read the instructions), I like either anis biscotti with black tea or daifuku with green tea
ginger snaps, please
pepperidge farm cookies
My favorite thing to eat with tea is nice, juicy dates. But a chocolate chip cookie would be welcome too.
homemade raspberry muffins
ooo! Shortbread cookies! delish.
Lace cookies with chocolate!
I would have cheese danish with my tea!
cheddar and branston pickle tea sandwich
Cucumber sandwiches! or homemade biscuits
i love to eat any kind of fresh fruit with my tea :)
Petits fours, something I remember having at a tea party as a little girl.
I typically don't eat anything when I drink tea, but do think scones are a good partner (my friend makes a lemon/cranberry scone to die for).
peanut butter toast with sliced apple. or my mom's lemon bread.
apple scones and lemon bread
I love lemon scones!
glazed lemon cakes (anything lemon flavored, actually)
ooh, cranberry scones
My aunt loved having social tea cookies with her tea - and I do too! I have a feeling it has something more to do with her than the cookie itself.
We usually drink tea as more of a ceremonial drink but if I were going to serve something to eat, it would be shortbread or madelines.
I love to eat scones topped with clotted cream and jam with my tea.
Chocolate truffles, or crackers. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
Magnolia Bakery cupcakes - without the 3 inches of frosting :)
When I was in England 24 years ago I learned to drink milk in my tea (like the English do) and we were offered cookies. So to this day I eat cookies with my "white" tea.
Favorite? Scones. Usually? Fruit. (gluten allergy and all that)
mmm... scones or muffins fresh out of the oven
My favorite to have with tea are Florentines!
My wife would love this set
cake, naturally! and i'm not even picky about what kind!
Usually muffins, or anything freshly baked!
mmm....green tea and a bowl of white rice...yummy!
blueberry muffin
Scones ... cranberry orange are my favorite, although it depends on the type of tea. With Lady Grey, I prefer something not as sweet, so would probably go with lemon scones ... or perhaps even pound cake (freshly baked and homemade, of course).
the ritual! Of course, the foods are great too, but i love the anticipation of steeping the tea.
This tea set is beautiful. I love short bread or sugar wafer cookies with my tea. Thanks for this giveaway.
I love shortbread made with all the fat, sugar, etc!
usually crackers and cheese
This is pAthetic but I eat chocolate chip cookies with tea!
I eat cookies with tea. I love shortbread and I also enjoy pound cake.
I love to eat any kind of chocolate cake with tea - Heaven! Thank you!
I Love to eat Ginger snaps with my tea MMMM
Cucumber finger sandwiches...mmm.
Toast with strawberry jam is great with tea.
I drink tea every morning, so I actually eat many things with my tea. Gotta keep life exciting don't I?
Snickerdoodles. There is nothing better to me on a lazy Sunday afternoon than to curl up with my husband, dog, and a good book and to sip a good Lady Grey and munch on snickerdoodles.
When I have my noal weekday afternoon tea, though, I usually just have a slice of wheat toast with strawberry jam, and that is almost as yummy.
I love cookies or little sandwiches (the little triangles) with my tea!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Any cookie, petit four, etc. Really, anything small and sweet!
Finger sandwiches with cucumber, smoked salmon and dill OR olive tapenade and goat cheese OR deviled egg salad with tarragon. Hm, I might need to have finger sandwiches for dinner tonight...
Fresh fruits! Especially strawberries and confectionery sugar. :)
Maple Cookies and Green Tea, two great tastes that taste great together!
petit fours are nice with tea
lemon poppy scones, yum!
Definitely blueberry scones or shortbread cookies...yum!
When I'm feeling pretentious, I say scones, but when I'm just looking for a hot cuppa with a handful of comfort, they're old fashioned baking-powder biscuits, slapped into shape between my two hands, baked to a nice golden brown, and eaten with honey or homemade strawberry jam. Yummy!
shortbread cookies!
shortbread and fruit for me too :-)
Please pick me to win this tea set. I have friends come over for tea at least 2X a week. Plus, I love this color green. It's so fresh and uplifting.
This set is GORGEOUS! I love the color and "hawaiian-ish" pattern. It just screams Spring! There is nothing better then sitting outside on a warm spring morning with a cup of tea and an english muffin, listening to the birds chirp and watching the clouds float by.
We just had a formal tea for mother's day..we served scones with clotted cream and fresh jam...lemon tarts..cucumber sandwiches...olive sandwiches...deviled ham...cream puffs..and of course tea! all yummy! love to have a new tea set
A juicy tart apple is great to eat when drinking tea.
I love scones with tea.
Our Pastor's wife grew up on a farm and, because her Mum
came from England, they had tea at 3 o'clock on the dot
every afternoon. She said that it was so fun and comforting
to have that tea to look forward to every day after getting
off the schoolbus. Her dad and mum would be sitting there
at the kitchen table that was set with teacups and "a bit
of something to take with our tea". Things could be discussed
at the tea table of all sorts -- happy things, things that were
troubling the children, funny things -- it was just a family place where all could talk together and strengthen family ties.
She and her family now do the very same, and her daughter's special gift at turning 13 years old was her very own
tea service. She uses it on occasion now, and she looks forward to the day when it will be a part of her home and tea traditions as a wife and mom.
All of this to say....I think that it's not so much what is
served with the tea, but the love and grace that goes along
with it all that matters most to me. Sometimes we have
ginger biscuits, other times perhaps lemon shortbread or
small cherry cheesecake tarts. But I hope that the memories
of family times at the tea table are the choicest fare of

Botsford News Release
Farmington Hills, Mich. (November 23, 2010)---Summer may be over, but that doesn't mean that you should put away the sunscreen and forget about skin care. November, National Healthy Skin Month, is the perfect time to get your skin checked by your dermatologist and find out how you can best protect your skin all year long.
Francisca Kartono, D.O., Chief Dermatology Resident at Botsford Hospital, says, "Winter is just as important as summer when it comes to taking care of your skin. The winter sun combined with the sun's glare can damage your skin, so sunscreen is still necessary. Cold winter days can also bring uncomfortable dryness to the face, hands and feet. This can often result in flaking, cracking and even eczema. Learning about your skin type and becoming familiar with good moisturizing products is important when it comes to the best care for your body."
Dr. Kartono recommends the following skin care tips for the winter:
- Use soaps for sensitive skin care (Dove, Basis, Cetaphil). Antibacterial soaps tend to be more drying on the skin so beware of Dial, Zest, Irish Spring and Lever 2000 soaps as they may feel to dry for your skin during the winter months.
- Moisturize your skin daily. Reach for "fragrance free" moisturizers. "Unscented" products may still contain a masking fragrance.
- Protect hands with cotton gloves after moisturizing to allow for better absorption of the moisturizer.
- Change wet gloves and socks. Wool tends to be irritating on the skin, so even dry wool gloves can worsen hand eczema in the winter time.
- Use a humidifier. Keep the skin away from close contact with heaters to prevent skin dryness.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Keep feet happy with moisturizers.
- Avoid using harsh facial peels.
- Apply sunscreen daily.
- Check with a dermatologist to see how you can keep your skin healthy.
Need to find a dermatologist? Botsford Hospital's HealthMatch can help. Call 877-477-DOC1.
Botsford Hospital is a multi-specialty 330 bed hospital and verified trauma center located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The campus also houses an imaging center and a comprehensive care cancer center. Botsford Hospital is also home to an extensive medical education program and is part of Michigan State University's statewide campus system. Botsford Hospital each year cares for approximately 16,000 inpatients and more than 60,000 emergency and trauma patients with a team of 2,500 employees, 300 volunteers and more than 600 physicians. A not-for-profit hospital, Botsford provided almost $10.5 million in community benefit during its 2011 fiscal year.

District Announcements
Butte County Sheriff Department Press Release
Click here to read the press release from the Butte County Sheriff's Department.
Letter from the Superintendent
August, 2014
The 2014-2015 school year will begin in the Oroville Union High School District on August 13, 2014. I am looking forward to an AWESOME year!
The 2014-2015 school year marks a couple of changes in graduation requirements that will go into effect beginning with this year's incoming ninth graders. Students will be required to take and pass three years of math. Students will be required to earn 230 credits to earn a diploma from a comprehensive high school in the Oroville Union High School District.
The District's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is available on the website (ouhsd.org). The LCAP guides the instructional and student priorities at all of the schools in our district for the next three years. We will review the priorities yearly to evaluate our progress on those goals. One of the major goals for us this year is to improve parent engagement. It is true that it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to educate a child. Parent engagement in the schools helps teachers and administrators do our job better. Each school will be sending home information on athletic events, the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), Student Site Councils and Back to School Night. Any contribution you can make to these organizations and your child's school is greatly appreciated. Back to School Night is scheduled at all of our schools on Wednesday, September 10th.
The District uses the website to post most of our information. We also have a Mobile App that you can load on your smart phone or tablet. The OUHSD App is available at ITunes or Google Play. Students will also receive information from the schools regarding the Aeries Parent Portal, which allows you to look at your child's grades and attendance.
As we work together to make the high schools in the Oroville Union High School District great places for kids to learn, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at (530) 538-2300 x 1107, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions, concerns and/or comments that I can assist you with.

Scott Peeler (Springboro Lacrosse Club) Named US Lacrosse Boys' Youth Coach of the Year
US Lacrosse named the six winners of its 2013 Youth Awards, which were awarded during the US Lacrosse National Convention, presented by Champion, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The awards are given to honor contributors to youth lacrosse around the country.
Boys' Youth Coach of the Year
Scott Peeler – Springboro, Ohio
Given to an outstanding youth boys' coach who embodies the characteristics of an ideal coach supporting US Lacrosse mission and vision, dedicating him or herself to his or her players and providing the best possible lacrosse experience for everyone involved. Over the last six years, Scott Peeler has helped foster the growth of the Springboro (Ohio) Lacrosse Club and its players. In addition to coaching the third and fourth grades teams, he requested and received the director of youth development position through which he meets regularly with the other youth coaches to help them improve as coaches. In his nomination letter, John Stachler, a parent of a current player, wrote, "The energy that Scott has provided the program [as director of youth development] also follows him on the field. I have never observed a coach put as much energy in truly teaching kids what the game is lacrosse is about."

Ohio Concussion Awareness / Return to Play Law
Folks, you may have heard that Ohio has adopted a new law concerning concussions that applies to both HS teams and also youth sports organizations. Each of our club or school sponsored organizations are covered and are required to comply. In general, the law requires each coach and official to take a free on-line concussion awareness course, and establishes procedures for removing a player from practice or games who exhibits signs of a concussion. The law also establishes the requirements for a player to return to play (i.e., physician or certified trainer release). Finally, the law requires each program to provide an informational disclosure on concussions in sports to the parent or guardian of each of your players. The form is prescribed by the Ohio Department of Health. The Department of Health has identified the on-line courses, and has also completed the parent disclosure form. I have set forth below a link below to the Ohio Department of Health website that contains all of this information. NOTE: this law is effective 4/26/13 so each Program will have to comply. Please note that the League and the Southern Ohio Chapter of US Lacrosse are not responsible for compliance with this law: compliance is the responsibility of each Program. You only have the immunity and other benefits of the law if you comply by having each coach and official take the on-line training, and for Programs to provide the disclosure to parents.
Note the requirements and training are more detailed for HS programs, and also require the players to sign off on the player and parent receiving the concussion awareness disclosure.
Everyone should read this information carefully and make sure you comply.
The Ohio Department of Health's Violence and Injury Prevention Program is pleased to announce our new youth concussion web page,www.healthyohioprogram.org/concussion

The nearly $257 million purchase of Waltham battery maker A123 Systems Inc. by a Chinese conglomerate hangs on approval by an obscure, secretive federal panel that scrutinizes foreign acquisitions of American businesses to protect national security.
The panel, known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, has approved nearly all the deals it has considered over the past several years, according to committee annual reports. But more recently it has intensified its scrutiny of foreign entities — particularly those from China — seeking to obtain advanced US technologies, presenting a hurdle for Wanxiang America Corp. as it tries to acquire nearly all the assets of bankrupt A123.

Guest post: The greatest vegan waffle recipe in the world! »
Waffles! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh they're awesome. Seriously, the smell of waffles in the morning is the best alarm clock in the world. No one wants an extra 30 minutes when you can sneak an extra waffle or five instead.
This is the best vegan waffle recipe in the world. These waffles are so good, you should serve them with a gold crown with full-on royal fanfare. They're easy to make, too; you could just stare at the ingredients and after a while you'd have made this recipe—it's that easy.
What do we need?
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 ½ cups soy milk
2 Tbsp. canola oil
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
So you don't suffer from Baker's Enthusiasm, before doing anything plug your waffle maker in and start preheating. Now you can make waffles as soon as your batter is ready.
There's two ways to do this: quick but reckless, or perfectionist. The quick but reckless way is simple. Just mix all the dry ingredients together, then add in all the wet ingredients, and BOOM you've got waffle mix.
If you want to stroll down Perfectionist Avenue, get your flour and sieve it into a large bowl, then add your sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then get your soy milk and canola oil, mix it all up until consistent.
When mixing all the ingredients, be gentle, as if you were stroking a tiny kitten's head. This way you get a smooth and consistent batter. If you beat or whisk your batter like an angry bionic robot, then you'll get a bowl of froth.
Once you're happy with your batter, pour it in your waffle maker evenly and slowly. Be careful; overspill is both a waste of the world's greatest waffle batter and also a pain in the ass to clean up.
It should take around five minutes to cook, give or take a minute. Plate up, add your toppings, and put them in your mouth hole. Enjoy!
Matt is a vegan from the U.K. After spending most of his life eating non-vegan food, he was converted by an ex-girlfriend and has never looked back. He writes waffle maker reviews at WaffleMakers.net. Check out his Waring Pro WMK600 review.

A beautiful night in the city :)
People always ask me, "How's life?" Honestly, it's great, but it can always be better. Like any other person, I don't think I'll be fully satisfied with life. Nothing will ever be perfect. I will always want more.
Words cannot explain how I completely feel, but I will try my best to compose my thoughts into this post.
On Saturday, June 11, 2011, I became an official high school graduate. While tears came down my fellow classmates' eyes and everyone was impacted by the feeling that everything was coming to an end, I was actually okay. I did not think everything was ending. I was excited to start a new chapter in my life.
So many things happened throughout the years. I met new friends when I came back to Hercules. I re-developed my relationships with friends I met in preschool and elementary school. I learned the importance of asking questions and taking control. I forgot what it was like to have a dad. I got my first boyfriend. I learned how to drive. I got into fights with my mom and sister. I took on more responsibilities. I lost friends, but found my true friends. But most importantly, I learned how to be independent and discovered who I am.
I am sure I still have more to learn, but I think I made decent progress growing up. And to be honest, it really was because I had a dad who wasn't around anymore and a mom who had to work full-time to make ends meet. I started to feel what it was like to have most of the responsibilities. I know I cannot change the past, but I will always wonder what it would have been like to live my teenage years with my whole family together. Would I be different from how I am now? Would I not feel ready to face the world on my own because I had both of my parents spoonfeeding me? I will never know. But really, I thank my mom for everything. Without her, I would not be who I am today. As for my dad, I do not know what to say. Unfortunately, he took barely any part in my teenage life and shows no regret. I will forever be disappointed.
Of course I am still excited for this new chapter in my life. But I realized that I am also overwhelmed. Overwhelmed at the fact that I am growing up and that my life is solely in my hands now. Nothing is spoonfed to me anymore and no one can hold my hand when I make mistakes. I am on my own.
But despite this overwhelming feeling, I am confident. I am scared, but I know that everything will be okay as long as I do something about it. I cannot be lazy, weak, or even, cocky. I must be productive, strong, and faithful. I need to re-establish my priorities and set goals that I will strive to succeed. Life will always try to challenge me, but I must remember that I am the winner.
From the locker-filled hallways to the loud cafeteria, quiet classrooms, and now the World Wide Web - bullying seems to follow someone everywhere.
Teenagers, in general, just aren't the "precious little angels" most parents describe them to be. Some of them sneak out of their houses late at night or party when they are supposed to be sleeping over at a friend's house, and others lose their virginity or engage in drugs and alcohol. However, now there's something else added to the list: teenagers are getting meaner.
The definition of bullying has changed and expanded over the years. The stereotype of a bully remains as a large boy or girl who steals innocent people's lunch money, forces them to do their homework, and stuffs them in lockers if they disobey. Now, ordinary name-calling and texting naked or exposing pictures of someone to hundreds of people are categorized as bullying. However, what is becoming the biggest problem is teenage girls calling each other "sluts," "whores," and "losers," and threatening other girls for their own personal gain.
It is difficult to believe for those who have never experienced any type of name-calling or teasing that bullying still exists today, mainly because stereotypical bullying has shifted into something more extreme. High school females, for example, are now willing to do anything to inflict pain and humiliation to others by turning the entire school against their victims or constantly harassing them on their social networking sites. In the end, this extreme bullying seems to come down to competition. Whether it is being the prettiest, skinniest girl with the high-end clothes and perfect hair or the one with the most attractive-looking boyfriend, all girls seem to stop at nothing to get what they want. Perhaps that is why girls feel a need to step on someone else in order to reach the top of the social ladder. If they feel threatened, they will do everything in their power to feel secure again, even if it means losing their class, or their minds, for a moment.
Despite how long bullying has been around, reasons for this extreme behavior are still pretty vague. Bullying could well be a stress-reliever, a hobby, or revenge for once being humiliated. However, some believe that movies, shows, and reality television play factors in bullying. In films and programs such as Mean Girls, One Tree Hill, Real World, and Jersey Shore, girls are seen to utter vulgar terms such as "sluts," "whores," and "bitches" quite frequently, start physical fights, and humiliate another by spray-painting "dyke" on their locker or writing negative comments about others in a "burn book." Like all parents say to their children after they watch a horror film, "it's just a movie." However, in reality, people see what is on television and believe that is how life should be and therefore, that is how they should act.
Being verbally and mentally abused can cause too much of a pain to even escape, especially when the tormenter is a friend. Unfortunately, girls feel too ashamed to share what is happening to them and eventually turn to suicide to erase the humiliation. However, attempting to get help from an adult or counselor is much better than ending life altogether. In the end, it's not about making someone else happy because the only person that truly matters is the one who is getting bullied and stands up to say "no."
So deal with it.

This is one of the few times I wish I had a cat.
I need this!
I may be short, but I'm strong. I may have a high-pitched-little-kid-sounding voice, but I'm mature. I may have a chubby, baby-looking face, but I'm grown up.
I'm sure not an adult, but I'm sure not a little kid either. I know my rights and wrongs. And I know if I make a mistake, I'll fix it on my own.
But I am 17-years-old and refuse to be underestimated. So get it straight.
Guaranteed. On everything. Pinky promised.
I refuse to give up. I refuse to be let down. I refuse to underachieve. I refuse to be just satisfied. I refuse to fail.

Review: DmC Devil May Cry's stylish action and stunning visuals make for the perfect reboot
Remember when the new Dante was shown for the first time and everyone freaked out? Yea, forget all that. Even if you only play the old Devil May Cry games and refuse to play anything else, you'll have a tough time denying that DmC: Devil May Cry is an amazing reboot that surpasses the older games in the series in many ways.

Last season, particularly after the 0-2 start, the biggest challenge for Mark Richt's Bulldogs was blocking out all the fan and media talk about whether their head coach would keep his job.
This year, it's a matter of the players trying to focus amid all the preseason hype about Georgia returning a lot of starters, probably starting the season in the Top 10, being favored to win the SEC East again and even figuring in some early BCS chatter.
Georgia's been there before and it didn't turn out so well. The 2008 Dawgs had lots of star power and even loftier preseason expectations, but proved to be a big disappointment.
Christian Robinson, who's emerged as one of the more vocal leaders of the 2012 Bulldogs and who redshirted in 2008, told Edward Aschoff of ESPN.com that selfishness and immaturity were a problem for that team. Robinson maintained this year's team is smarter and more mature. "This is a totally different team," Robinson said. "You don't read your press clippings and start believing."
But then you'd kind of expect him to say that.
Judging by the increased number of off-field problems that have cropped up so far, some involving seniors who ought to know better, you might begin to wonder whether some on this year's team have looked at Georgia's favorable schedule, heard the hype and are taking success for granted.
"We have to understand that we have to earn it and nothing's going to be given to us," Richt told Aschoff. "I hope they're not believing the hype. I have to make sure they understand that they gotta earn everything they get and I can reference 2008."
Here's hoping Richt cites the lessons of that year frequently, and that the players listen more closely than some of them appear to have done so far during this offseason.
Ironically, Robinson believes that the adversity caused by having several starters possibly suspended early in the season will end up being a plus, banding the team together more tightly and forcing them to work harder early on. I hope he's right.
Quarterback Aaron Murray, who Aschoff said has taken it on himself to become more outspoken on team issues, thinks the lesson has been learned.
"Our guys understand that you can't be doing anything too crazy right now," Murray said. "This could be a very special season. This could be a season you remember for the rest of your life. If we work hard, the sky's the limit for us."
If not, it could be 2008 all over again.

Well Arkansas is out of the mix. LSU has some issues with the team being split over the Coaches choices during the BCS CG game. UGa could easily win.

What's your issue with Aron White? While not blessed with outstanding physcial gifts, he made the most of what he had and developed into a strong and dependable player. I wish we had more players with that type of attitude.

I liked White and he had a good senior season but, like C Robinson, he was king of the sound bite which ultimately rang hollow. I want those guys to believe in themselves and believe they can win the SEC, but until they do it, I wish they would ease off on the public comments. Murray is guilty of it as well. No more talk guys. Just win.

2008 is but one of a number of recent underachieving years. The 2008 roster won't be suiting up for Georgia this year so it doesn't matter. If this year's team doesn't get it done, the coach will still love them anyway. Underachieve in life and see how much love you get.

I like this year's team. Day's like today make us proud to have CMR in charge. Glad we don't have to worry about ethics of our head man.
Saban – oversigning.
Petrino – adultry.
Chizkv – paying recruits.
Meyer – never supends star drug users
Spuurier – left 5 time criminal stay as QB starter. Hotelgate.
Richt – only finished 2nd and 3rd never won MNC.

Seems like Ga started that 2008 season with a stacked offense that was also breaking in a few new O-line players, due to graduation and injuries.
The media over rated that 2008 team to prove that they didn't screw Ga in the post season of 2007, when LSU leap froged Ga because "if you don't even win your conference you cant play for the MNCG". Dawg fans can thank ESPN for that!
Ga didn't have the O-line or the defense in 2008. Defense won't be a problem this time, we'll see about the O-line.

Until this team learns how 2 win the big games and not beat themselves I have my doubts. I think our team is satisfied being good not great. If I am Richt I would be preaching last year we were 0-4 in the big games. I sure hope the coaches give extra drills for the whole team when anyone brings negative publicity to the team. I think the suspensions only holds that person accountable and the team just welcomes them back. When their held accountable 4 making their team do something they don't want to do and put the burden on the team instead of just the player. Then and only then will that person have 2 answer 4 the team. Go Dawgs!!!

What's Robinson doing in the room anyway? Y'all got one sick program up there. Literally.
April 11th, 2012
11:50 am
I believe that Richt has enough sense to evaluate the players in question after serving their suspensions, and factoring in how each suspended player handles the rest of the off season before handing them back their starter status. For that matter, here's hoping that Branden and Rambo have enough sense to know that their draft status will also be affected by their decisions going forward. Ogletree may or may not go pro after this season, but I'm sure that he does not want to lose his starting role because of a case of D.A. Georgia has plenty of players capable of winning the first four, and who knows, by the time Rambo's time is served, his safety spot may be well manned. Robinson may be correct in his analogy concerning the tightening up on the players part due to what has already happened. It was mentioned in the article that Bill read and got his idea for this blog from that there are more upperclassmen, and leaders on this team than the 2008 team, and Murray needs to lead by example and quit his B.S. shenanigans as well. I was guilty of some under aged drinking back in the seventies too, but I was not the starting QB of the Georgia Bulldogs, either. I agree with Bill that there is a tremendous amount of pressure on Coach Richt to produce a championship this year, mostly because most know what the defense will lose after this season. From Grantham's comments thus far, it does not sound like he's worried about having to play without the suspended players. I believe that in their minds, that the first four are very winnable, and the fact that the game with the Chickens has been moved down the road is a big plus. The game that worries me is the Tennessee game, and a lack of focus here will get them beat. Richt wants to talk about referencing the 2008 season, he had better reference the 2007 season as well, because a win over the Vols that year would have given the Dawgs a shot at the BCS that year. Before any of you loud mouth LSU folks start yapping, go ask your beloved pos coach Lester Miles about being grateful that he did not have to face Georgia in the dome that year instead of the Vols. He even stated this on national television.
All of this being said, I really do believe that the Dawgs OL will be better this year, and special teams can be fixed. I also believe that Richt is saving the priority of special teams to fall camp so that the players will have special teams fresh in their minds when the season begins.
I have a copy of the letter that Erk Russell sent to the entire team before the start of the 1980 season, it is a bit humorous, but very motivational. Maybe Grantham needs to do something like this before the season kicks off!!!

No defense in 2008. How many times did we give up over 30 points? Bama and fl were pretty good that year too. But we had no defense at all thanks to Martinez. How do you give up 45 points to a high school offense? Oh yeah. bump tackling. That defense couldn't knock me down or out of bounds. One more thing about 2008. Wardrobe malfunctions!!!

"Georgia players need to learn lesson from underachieving 2008 Dawgs"
Yeah, they sure do. Let's see, hmmm, ok:
1) Never, ever wear all black again for a game. Besides being a terrible fashion statement, all it did was make the team look like they were going to a funeral. Oh, that's right. They were at a funeral – their own. I think the halftime score was something like 31-0.
2) If you are going to order your players to charge the field after finally scoring a touchdown against UF like in 2007, remember that you still have to play them again the next year and paybacks are he!!. Time out – Florida at 49-10.
3) Make sure that when you are playing your in-state rival at home and have them down at the half, that the defense knows there is still another thirty minutes of football to be played. Oh wait, never mind. They didn't remember that last year against LSU either.

Murray said, "This could be a very special season. This could be a season you remember for the rest of your life."
Well, he may have a point there. UGA has come out of the gate real strong in the arrest/suspension/kicked-off-the-team department. At this rate, there will be alot of playes having to play positions they are not used to playing to fill in the holes. So I guess it would be a memorable season for them – wondering why they they came to UGA as an offensive player only to wind up playing on the defense.
April 11th, 2012
12:37 pm
bham dawg -
How is that morality thing working out for UGA? Oh, that's right. The SEC has not started adding won – lost – moral victories to their game stat results yet, but when they do, UGA will have that one more than covered. Also, can you even remember 1980 or do you just watch replays on your Beta machine?

@SSIgator… It's pretty funny that you call out uga for disciplining players. Only just recently florida has learned what discipline really means. Do you think percy harvin would have lasted through his freshman year at UGA with all the things that have come out about him when he was at florida. No chance. You are a hypocrite my friend.

@SSIgator… wasn't born in 1980 so no don't remember that year too well. Richt is trying to teach these young men lessons and if that comes with a suspension so be it. Its just laughable that UGA gets this label about beingn undisciplined and a bunch of thugs. When in fact we discipline harder than the majority of college football programs. Well after reading the article about meyer and the state of the florida program yall have just as many if not more off the field incidents the difference is that Meyer didn't hold his players accountable. He still let them play and when they were suspended he told the media they were hurt. You are an idiot
April 11th, 2012
12:56 pm
Some of the naysayers keep laying the blame on CMR for the perils that plague some of the players! It's really good that all the idiocy that has occurred happened for the most part during off-season! CMR is dealing with it head on and getting it taken care of before the first kickoff. I believe the team will be much better off in the long run and even the recipients of his punishment will realize what they must do in order to be a part of the good things to come! Look at the mess that Urban Meyer left at Florida not to mention the scenario at Arkansas! I'd say CMR and the DAWGS are faring quite well! GO DAWGS!!

Dont worry about SSI Gator…. As I mentioned before last season his run was over and now it's setting in… I watch the O&B game over the weekend and if it wasn't for the defense not accepting a penalty close to the half (like that happens in the red zone with a minute to go) they wouldnt have scored until all the scrubs were on the field… even that TD before the half was scored over a 5′9 DB with a 50 wing span that should be backing up at FIU!
Your team seems really pitaful at this point (as it can be felt by the disappointment in your rants) and I'll go on record that you'll finish 4 or 5th in the East!
Get ready for a thumping this season….. the joke is now on SSI GATOR!

Hey guys. with a shortage of running backs for G-day, why not let Richt and Bobo line up at tailback in a single back set behind your offensive line. after they're both carried off on stretchers, the first person they call is Shamire Devine at Tri-Cities, don't cha think? What a program.

yes Grantham ain't going No Where because he has a lot of Loyalty to UGa and Richt. His ties to both go back for decades and he wouldn't want to be a HC in the SEC.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. I agree with everyone that is tired of all the talk. That is all we've been doing for years now is talk. Winning football games is about blocking, tackling and beating the guy in front of you. Please spare me all the lame psychobabble crap about not "reading your press clippings" and believing the "hype." Remember that Sports Illustrated "curse" crap? Well, Alabama was Sports Illustrated's preseason #1 team last year, were they not? It didn't seem to affect them in any way. They just went out there and played football and did their damn jobs. They blocked and tackled better than the teams they were playing. They beat the guy's lined up in front of them. Curse my azz. There's not voo doo magic to winning football games. We haven't won a single solitary game of any significance in YEARS now and our players are out there in the press running their mouths about not believing the "hype." Are you freaking kidding me? Put a muzzle on these clowns and get their azzes out on the practice field.
Good grief.
