How can we build a better educational system?
I've been realizing more and more that our education system is pretty much designed to benefit only the corporations that run this world. I'm talking about the heavy emphasis on maths and sciences and not enough focus on helping the children find their passion by planting dreams in their capable minds.
Personally, I think it would be great if the variety of courses that we are able to take were widened, and if we get passionate teachers that know how to teach and want to teach. What I mean by knowing "how to teach" is if the person is able to get someone else up to their level of knowledge in something they are passionate about, and make it fun in the process! I think that defines a great teacher/professor, in any subject. That way, we'll be able to have a much more intelligent generation full of happy people who are doing what they want to do and are great at it! Ultimately that would benefit all of us as a species.
I know it may sound very ideal, but with time I think it is definitely possible.

Aug 14 2012: The students' desires are key in long-term education. I feel it's a balance of education (to draw out that which is latent in someone) and training. Education is based in the moment, the unknown, because the teacher can't know for certain what is needed in the classroom until the student(s) initiate a need, a desire. It might be a subtle initiation, but it must come from the student for the information to stick.
Training is based in the past "these are the steps, this is how it works and how it'll always work". Factual. Most schooling is really training, not education, unfortunately.
But we, and I say we because I believe it's important to be life-long learners, need a mixture of both to explore the world and how we want to shape it. You can teach me how to cut vegetable with a knife (training) and I may or may not really remember it, even after drilling and testing, unless I originally came to you with the desire or curiosity about cooking. Then the knife skill is needed... wanted. It supports my exploration in to my curiosity about cooking.
School can and should be like that. Math is important... to those that want to use it. The arts are important... to those that want to use it.
There are universal skills that can be taught and/or supported to help us all recognize our interests: empathy, vulnerability, failing gloriously, ownership, awareness, self-observation, group dynamics, collective leadership, intention, commitment and play. The last skill, play, is vitally important. It's the work of children, how they original explore the world and they're place in it. So, it doesn't need to be taught, it needs to be supported and extended into every day activities. Play is curiosity. Play is creativity. Play is the key to joyful learning, which has no end-date.
I'm excited to hear your passion to start a new school. Do it! Clear intentions addressing a solid need... we need more of that. Do it now. :)

Our appellation release of chardonnay exemplifies all the verve and personality of the 2006 vintage. An opalescent pale straw hue carries an expressive nose that sings with heady aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle and citrus oil, preparing the senses for a palate creamy in texture and bursting with flavors of tropical fruit and custard.

A repost of a classic in honor of the 61% of North Carolinians who should be ashamed of themselves.
A good way to start the week?
Or the best way to start the week?
(Source: whenallyourheroeshavefailedyou)
from Twenty-one Love Poems
Since we're not young, weeks have to do time
for years of missing each other. Yet only this odd warp
in time tells me we're not young.
Did I ever walk the morning streets at twenty,
my limbs streaming with a purer joy?
did I lean from any window over the city
listening for the future
as I listened here with nerves tuned for your ring?
And you, you move toward me with the same tempo.
Your eyes are everlasting, the green spark
of the blue-eyed grass of early summer,
the green-blue wild cress washed by the spring.
At twenty, yes: we thought we'd live forever.
At forty-five, I want to know even our limits.
I touch you knowing we weren't born tomorrow,
and somehow, each of us will help the other live,
and somewhere, each of us must help the other die.
Adrienne Rich
After Love
Afterwards, the compromise.
Bodies resume their boundaries.
These legs, for instance, mine.
Your arms take you back in.
Spoons of our fingers, lips
admit their ownership.
The bedding yawns, a door
blows aimlessly ajar
and overhead, a plane
singsongs coming down.
Nothing is changed, except
there was a moment when
the wolf, the mongering wolf
who stands outside the self
lay lightly down, and slept.
Maxine Kumin
The Layers
Stanley Kunitz
I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,
as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength
to proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing
from the abandoned camp-sites,
over which scavenger angels
wheel on heavy wings.
Oh, I have made myself a tribe
out of my true affections,
and my tribe is scattered!
How shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?
In a rising wind
the manic dust of my friends,
those who fell along the way,
bitterly stings my face.
Yet I turn, I turn,
exulting somewhat,
with my will intact to go
wherever I need to go,
and every stone on the road
precious to me.
In my darkest night,
when the moon was covered
and I roamed through wreckage,
a nimbus-clouded voice
directed me:
"Live in the layers,
not on the litter."
Though I lack the art
to decipher it,
no doubt the next chapter
in my book of transformations
is already written.
I am not done with my changes.
Love Amidst The War - by Jean Binta Breeze
love amidst the war
like where you lay your head
between my breasts
flows river green
between the arid peaks
as crimson petals
on new graves
fresh lilies
from rotting corpse
amidst the war
you and I
in the riot
of our lives
Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy": A Neuroscience Reading
by Maria Popova
Unpacking the lyrics of the iconic happiness anthem to find surprising science-tested insights on well-being.
In 1988, Bobby McFerrin wrote one of the most beloved anthems to happiness of all time. On September 24 that year, "Don't Worry Be Happy" became the first a cappella song to reach #1 on the Billboard Top 100 Chart. But more than a mere feel-good tune, the iconic song is brimming with neuroscience and psychology insights on happiness that McFerrin — whose fascinating musings on music and the brain you might recall from World Science Festival's Notes & Neurons — embedded in its lyrics, whether consciously or not.
To celebrate the anniversary of "Don't Worry, Be Happy," I unpack the verses to explore the scientific wisdom they contain in the context of several studies that offer lab-tested validation for McFerrin's intuitive insight.
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Our tendency to add more stress to our stress by dwelling on it is known is Buddhism as the second arrow and its eradication is a cornerstone of mindfulness practice. But now scientists are confirming that worrying about our worries is rather worrisome. Recent research has found prolonged negative cardiac effects of worry episodes, following a 2006 study that linked worrying to heart disease.
Here, I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Multiple studies have confirmed the positive correlation between social support and well-being, and some have examined the "buffering model," which holds that social support protects people from the adverse effects of stressful events.
Harvard physician Nicholas Christakis has studied the surprising power of our social networks, finding profound and long-term correlation between the well-being, both physical and mental, of those with whom we choose to surround ourselves and our own.
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Mirror neurons are one of the most important and fascinating discoveries of modern neuroscience — neurons that fire not only when we perform a behavior, but also when we observe that behavior in others. In other words, neural circuitry that serves as social mimicry allowing the expressed emotions of others to trigger a reflection of these emotions in us. Frowns, it turns out, are indeed contagious.
Put a smile on your face
Pop-culture wisdom calls it "fake it 'till you make it"; psychotherapy calls it "cognitive behavioral therapy"; social psychology call it story editing. Evidence abounds that consciously changing our thoughts and behaviors to emulate the emotions we'd like to feel helps us internalize and embody those emotions in a genuine felt sense. Paul Ekman, who pioneered the study of facial expressions, found that voluntarily producing a smile may help deliberately generate the psychological change that takes place during spontaneous positive affect — something corroborated in the recently explored science of smiles.
Don't worry, it will soon pass
Whatever it is
In 1983, UCLA psychologist Shelley E. Taylor published a seminal paper [PDF] in the journal American Psychologist proposing a theory of cognitive adaptation for how we adjust to threatening events, based on evidence from a number of clinical and empirical studies indicating that we grossly overestimate the negative impact of the events that befall us, from cancer to divorce to paralysis, and return to our previous levels of happiness shortly after these negative events take place.
As Daniel Gilbert puts it in Stumbling on Happiness, one of our 7 must-read books on the art and science of happiness, "The fact is that negative events do affect us, but they generally don't affect us as much or for as long as we expect them to."

Andy and Ryan Zuckerman spent a day driving around the Bay area. The father and son are looking for their next big investment. They say it's time to build and they say the place to do it is right here in Tampa Bay.
"We believe that 2013 is gonna be a great year," Andy said, "We think that Tampa is a fantastic market, it's growing tremendously, it has been growing tremendously."
The Zuckermans said proof is in the numbers. In Tampa, housing sales soared 18 percent in January from a year ago. In Pinellas, the numbers were up by 14 percent.
When asked how today's market compares to four years ago, Andy said, "Oh my goodness, that's kinda like day and night."
This family has seen a lot of ups and downs. The Zuckerman business started in New York back in 1929 -- the same year the stock market crashed, triggering the Great Depression.
Then the family survived the oil embargo days of the 70s, the banking crisis of the 80s and most recently, the Great Recession ignited when the the real estate bubble burst.
"We would have 30 homes that we were trying to sell and we would have 300 people show up to try and buy their home and literally, we would put our names in the hat and my grandma was pulling them out and giving you the opportunity to buy, and we said to each other, 'this is crazy!' " Ryan exclaimed.
Andy added, "We realized at that time that things had just gotten too overheated."
So, the Zuckermans pulled back, like many investors.
"We got very lucky. We decided at that time, we're gonna stop buying," said Andy.
However, for the past year, they've gotten back into the game.
"The bottom line is, we're definitely off the bottom and had been talking about the bottom a year ago, actually," Andy explained.
One sign of the upswing is the inventory. What used to be a six-month supply is down to a four-month supply, and experts say that means if you like something, you need to jump on it.
"My one word answer would be, 'Hurry!' " Ryan said.
Following their own advice, they're rushing to buy properties in southwest Florida too, with recent purchases in Naples, Sarasota and Fort Myers.
Their decisions aren't hasty, but they are certainly hungry to get in on what they say is the best market they've seen since the real estate crash.
"We're gonna have to go back on the other side of Tampa and keep looking over in the Brandon area, where we've seen a couple of things that we really like," Andy said, as he finished looking at a property in St. Pete that wasn't the right fit for them.
Big money investors are back in the game.
"We have a lot of confidence in the Tampa Bay market. We think it'll be really good throughout all of '13 and into '14."

Safari Charles of Owings Mills learned a few important lessons after running her first half-marathon last year.
Wear shoes that fit, or your toenails may turn black. Run with a group for motivation (and for those days your husband would rather sleep in). Carry water on your long runs.
This year as Charles prepares to run her first full marathon at the Baltimore Running Festival in October, she hopes to have learned from last year's experience. She has bigger shoes and trains with the group Black Girls Run, which she says gets her on the pavement consistently. She keeps her body hydrated.
"I was kind of lackadaisical about training for the half," she said. "I didn't prepare as best as I could. You can't run a full marathon without training properly."
Thousands of people like Charles are starting to get their bodies ready for fall races, and many are newcomers who will likely make mistakes. Some will end up with injuries that could have been prevented.
But running coaches and doctors say a little planning and proper training will help people run, rather than hobble, across the finish line.
"It's the only sport where you have to plan months in advance what you eat, what you wear, when you're going to run," said Dr. John Senatore, a veteran marathoner and chief of podiatry at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. "It takes a lot of thought and planning. The people who get hurt aren't usually the ones who follow a program. They are the ones who train haphazardly."
Getting started
The biggest mistake people make when training for a long race is doing too much too quickly, veteran runners and coaches said.
"People get signed up and excited, then get worried about running 13 miles and go out and try to run 13 miles 20 weeks before the race," said Marie Bolton, general manager at Charm City Run and a certified running coach who has finished eight marathons.
Coaches suggest following a training program that includes three to four short runs during the week and a long run on the weekend. The weekend runs increase in duration each week. Going with a group will help keep runners motivated and on pace. People who train alone may run too fast and get bored during the long runs.
The long runs will get those in training accustomed to being on their feet for hours at a time. Long runs during training should be at a slower pace than times on race day, Senatore said. He also suggests running the last long run three weeks before the race so muscles have time to recover.
Senatore recommends the New York Road Runners training programs. Area running groups use plans by nationally known runners, such as Jeff Galloway, a former Olympian who has trained people since the 1970s. He promotes combining running and walking to complete a marathon injury-free.
Karen Levin, co-owner of Fleet Feet running store in Pikesville, leads Galloway's plan in training runs and said people using the walk-run method can finish just as fast as people who run the whole race.
DeNita Morrison a 40-year-old nurse from Owings Mills who also trains with Black Girls Run, follows a program by Hal Higdon, a well-known trainer who has been running for a half-century. His plan gradually gets people into running.
"He starts you off very slowly and builds you up so you don't feel overwhelmed," said Morrison, who started running five years ago and plans to compete in her first half-marathon this year.
Preparing for a race also usually includes at least one day a week of cross training to help prevent wear and tear on the same muscle groups and help with conditioning. Runners should mix biking, swimming, weight training and other activities between their running sessions.
Advanced and intermediate runners looking to improve their time from previous races can also do speed training, or run short intervals at a fast pace. There are also programs that include training on hills.
Coaches have varying opinions on whether newbies should speed-train or include hill work. Some coaches believe beginners should focus on mileage and worry about speed for the next race. Others say speed work is OK as long as you go only as fast as your body can handle. Don't try to keep up with more advanced runners.

Safari in The Meru National Park
Meru National Park lies east of Mount Kenya and although it is one of Kenya's lesser known game reserves it has a variety of special features.
The park covers an area of 870m² that straddles the Equator and is classified as semi-arid although the thirteen rivers and springs that flow through it ensure permanent water and create a diverse landscape of lovely forest areas and swampland that compliments a vast savannah of waving grasses.
Visitors to Meru National Park will not have the same access to the wide variety of game that is found in the country's other game reserves, however, during the dry season when the grass is at its lowest, herds of elephant return to the park. There are also good populations of lion, leopard and cheetah as well as buffalo, Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. The park is also home to more than 350 different bird species and the river wildlife is abundant with large pods of ungainly hippo and many crocodiles sharing the depths or motionless on the banks absorbing the rays of the sun.
The rhino sanctuary covers an area of 44km² and is situated on the western boundary of the park devoted to the protection and population increase of the rhino. The sanctuary is a great success story with 6o animals – 40 white and 20 black rhino roaming freely and enjoying the best birth rates and less mortality numbers that any other area in Kenya. Many of the rhino were successfully relocated from the over-populated areas of Nakuru National Park, Nairobi National Park, and Lewa Downs Conservancy. This is a huge territory where you will still need a game drive to find them!
One of Meru's best features is the peacefulness of the landscape that you will be aware of as you are on your game drives which also take place at night. Night games drives excitingly offer a completely different group of animal sightings. As there is only one lodge in the national park the wildlife are not used to droves of vehicles and are often elusive and timid.
Meru National Park and its wildlife was immortalised by the work of British conservationists George and Joy Adamson whose life long work included the successful release of several hand-reared orphaned lions. Most famous of all was the lioness Elsa whose story was told in print and by the well known film "Born Free". This partnership helped promote conservation work and interest in Kenya. It is Elsa that gives her name to the only lodge in the park – Elsa's Kopje. This is a very elegant and luxurious lodge which comprises of just nine cottages, a honeymoon suite and the exclusive Elsa's Private House, which is ideal for a family or small group. The accommodation is tastefully constructed in local materials to blend into the surroundings of the kopje (small hill) just above the site of George Adamson's original campsite and enjoys breathtaking views. Incidentally there is tented camp - Joy's Camp, built on the site of his wife's former home, located to the north within the Shaba National Reserve.

July 19, 2012, 3:03 PM — It's time for Apple to make it's Bonjour and AirPlay technologies enterprise friendly. That's the contention of a group of college and university IT managers who are finalizing a petition that urges Apple to adapt both for enterprise networks.
"Designing 'iPad WLANs' poses new, renewed challenges"
The proposed changes, they say, would make it easier for IT to provision, manage and secure Bonjour-enabled networking of Apple products. But the changes also would make more Apple's networking more useable for iPad and iPhone owners. On campus, or at the office, they want the same kind ease of access and use they have at home. They want to connect easily over enterprise networks with resources such as printers running Apple's AirPrint protocol, or use Apple's AirPlay wireless multimedia streaming, and to marry iOS devices with flat-panel displays or high-def speakers via Apple TV, or with projectors. And today, they often can't do that because of how enterprise networks are designed.
Not everyone agrees about what should be changed. And some network professionals argue that the petition, in effect, asks Apple to scrap Bonjour and craft an entirely new and more complex discovery mechanism, which few seem to think is likely.
The petition drive began earlier this month, at the WLAN listserv group at Educause, a non-profit group that focuses on higher education IT. A draft of the final text, completed over the past weekend is available on a Facebook group. But dissatisfaction with Bonjour and AirPlay has been simmering for a long time.
Apple had not yet responded to a request for comment as this story was posted.
Bonjour, originally called Rendezvous when introduced in the early 2000's, is Apple's latest implementation of "zero configuration networking" or Zeroconf, which is a group of open protocols to automatically and quickly set up an IP network, without having to set up services such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DNS. More background is online, at a page maintained by Stuart Cheshire, Zeroconf's pioneer who was later hired by Apple.

Rangers acquire Carcillo from Kings
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Rangers moved quickly after an injury struck one of their players, acquiring forward Dan Carcillo from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2014.
The move was made Saturday, less than 24 hours after forward Derek Dorsett suffered a broken fibula and is expected to miss the next 4-to-6 weeks.
"We picked up a player that can bring an element of toughness. It's an area we felt we needed to get a little bit better," Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said.
Dorsett exited Friday's game against Pittsburgh in the first period and did not return after going down to block a shot from Pens defenseman Matt Niskanen. The puck eventually found its way to Chris Kunitz for the game's first goal and Dorsett skated to the bench slowly, hunched over and in visible pain. Pittsburgh eventually won, 5-2.
Carcillo has posted one goal and one assist with 57 penalty minutes in 26 games for the Kings this season. He won a Stanley Cup with Chicago last year, contributing two goals and three points in 23 appearances.
The 28-year-old has collected 41 goals and 89 points with 1,136 PIM over 359 NHL contests for the Coyotes, Flyers, Blackhawks and Kings.

'All That She Wants,' Ace of Base( YouTube / April 16, 2013 )
Dare we call this Ace of Base's finest, loneliest hit? Sure, "The Sign" is great (and, for the record, released in the U.S. in 1994, thus missing this list), but "All That She Wants" is such a sad tale of a lonely-life leader girl who really just wants another baby. Though it was hard to be fearful of a girl who spends most of her evening apparently putting on lip-liner. -- Captions by Jordan Bartel

Monday March 3, 2008
Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today that $1 million in college scholarships are available to help Louisville-area residents finish their associate's degrees. The money is part of the mayor's effort to increase the city's educational levels through the Graduate Greater Louisville initiative, unveiled in February.The KentuckianaWorks Scholars program will help 500 people in the 2008-2009 academic year by giving them up to $3,000 for tuition and up to $600 for books and supplies.
"Raising the educational level in Louisville is one of the most important things we can do to shape the future of our region—for both our individual citizens and for economic development," Abramson said.
The $1 million comes from the Workforce Investment Act, the federal government's principal investment in raising the skills of adult workers. Congressman Yarmuth, a member of the Committee on Education and Labor, oversees the workforce development dollars.
"A two-year associate's degree is a key to helping people get better-paying jobs," Yarmuth said. "Data shows that people in Louisville with an associate's degree earn $262,500 more over a lifetime than someone with only a high school diploma. That is why this federal funding is so critically important."
The $1 million will be awarded to students who have a year left to finish their associate's degrees. Students must complete college by December 2009 and maintain at least a "C" average.
The most recent update to the KentuckianaWorks Human Capital Scorecard, prepared by Dr. Paul Coomes at University of Louisville, showed that 2,458 associate's degrees were awarded in the Louisville area in 2006, ranking the region ninth among 16 peer cities.
By adding 500 additional associate's degrees and continuing at the same growth rate, the metro region would jump to fifth.
"We know that the affordability of two years of school is a huge barrier to many students," said Michael Gritton, executive director of KentuckianaWorks. "This barrier forces many of them into situations where they work too many hours and their studies suffer. Or sometimes, they drop out because they cannot afford school, family, work and personal responsibilities. We hope to address these issues with this program."
For more information on qualifications and applying, contact a KentuckianaWorks Scholarship Program career counselor by calling toll-free, 1-877-639-7559 or by e-mail: email@example.com.

lose their shape
By discerning shopper
from Victoria
These jeans fit larger than usual for Diane's jeans. If anything, order a size down. Unfortunately, after wearing these jeans they lose their shape and do not spring back until they are washed, losing their shape once again, bagging at the knees. Not smart looking.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't judge a bok by its cover!
By Trish The Pedicurist
from Toronto, Ontario
The models looked fabulous when this product was introduced. I ordered the large but when it arrived it was way too big for me, so I returned it for the large petite.It fits, but the waist is way too big for me, I MUST wear it with a belt and it's ok. I like the fabric.I love wearing the pant, but I wish I did not have to wear it with a belt.

I Promise This is the Last Time--
By Stylish Lady
from New Brunswick
Here I am again. Last review I did on these, I was ordering the wine which were to be my 4th pair. I have received them, nice color, and returned them. The 3 pair I have fit great in the small and I really like them but when I tried the wine on, they seemed a lot tighter, especially in the legs. I measured them and they were 1-1/4" smaller overall then the other 3 pair. I could have worn them through the hips and waist but the legs and thighs were really uncomfortable. As I said, liked the color so was disappointed to have to send them back but knew I would not wear. Just be aware, Ladies, if you order, there may be an incinsistency in size.

Material meant for perfect legs
By Shellie
from Calgary
If you have any cellulite, imperfections etc these are not the "jeans" for you. NOT jeans material, very thin and clingy, which showed everything. I ordered in the lighter mushroom colour which actually was lovely. I am so disappointed as I was throughly horrified with the effect when I tried them on.

Super Comfy
By Leslie
from Calgary (AB)
The lean jean looks and feels great on. Not sure why others have had problems with sizing, they fit perfectly and I have not had a problem with stretching. I do wear a belt with them though. Maybe some people are looking for a super tight fit, but I have two pairs and they fit slim but not super tight.

I am back Again
I have written a couple of reviews on these jeans prior to this but decided to write again after some experience with them. I have just ordered my 4th pair in the red. I now have the espresso which is a beautiful dark brown, the taupe and the black. I wear them quite often and find them really comfortable. I had to, as I stated before, downsize in them to a small. I always wear a belt so no problem. They are nice and long and are lean. So far, I have not had any stretching on any of the ones I have. Maybe I don't wear either pair often enough but have worn the espresso often. I often wear them with a shirt, tucked in and while I am a senior and do have some spinal issues, I still find I look long and relatively lean in them. Was wearing them only with riding boots and wondered about when warm weather came, if ever, but then Sandie advised that skinny type jeans looked better with a high slender heel so I have found she was quite right. Do really like these as is obvious.
great jean

Love these jeans very much.I took a small petit and they fit perfect .the comfort is wonderful.Also well made.

A thousand-mile joyride across three states ended just north of Custer on Monday morning, August 3, for five Montana teenagers when they were stopped and arrested by Whatcom County sheriff's deputies working on a tip from the Billings, Montana police.
Deputy chief Tim O'Connell of the Billings, Montana police department said a Billings woman reported on Sunday her granddaughter had stolen her 2003 motor home, worth an estimated $50,000. The woman believed the girl might be heading to Washington or Phoenix, O'Connell said, so Billings officers notified law enforcement, including the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office, about 10 a.m.
The next day deputies stopped the vehicle in the 2400 block of Birch Bay-Lynden Road and found five juveniles inside, two 16-year-old boys, a 15 year-old boy and two girls aged 14 and 15, according to Sergeant Kevin McFadden of the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office.
All five teens were booked into juvenile detention on charges of first-degree possession of stolen property, McFadden said. The motor home was not damaged. O'Connell said that the youths will be returned to Billings where they will be cited in juvenile court.
The Billings police department at first refused to give details on the case as it involved juveniles. A spokesperson said, however, when the vehicle was stolen "We didn't have as many juveniles involved as is being reported, so maybe they picked someone up along the way."

I believe it's safe to say that among all of the aspects of international trade, the most misunderstood and misused element of an international transaction is the correct application of shipping Incoterms.
In fact, some of my earliest and most valued reading in The Journal of Commerce dates back to Frank Reynolds' "Export ABCs" column, and his monthly submissions on the subject, although they didn't start out that way. After reading my first article and as I struggled with this new lexicon, I vaguely recall mumbling something to the effect of, "What in the world is this guy talking about?"
It wasn't long, however, before I would be clipping those columns and saving them in a dedicated folder as part of my own continuing education on the subject.
As background, Incoterms are a series of three-letter trade terms that establish uniform rules for defining the tasks, costs, risks and responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international transactions. Its origins can be traced to the 1920s, by which time international traders had developed a set of short abbreviations as replacements for lengthy contract provisions dealing with a party's rights and obligations to the sale and transportation of goods.
But the early terms weren't interpreted uniformly, which led to frequent disputes between trading parties. As a result, the International Chamber of Commerce stepped in and developed INternational COmmercial TERMS, or "Incoterms®." First published in 1936, these rules have been revised periodically to account for changing modes of transportation, delivery, business practices and security, with the most recent update in 2010.
One of the most common misunderstandings of Incoterms that I encounter is the misconception that Incoterms also define when title transfers between parties — likely due to the additional misunderstanding that clearing customs as the importer of record only can be made by the owner of the goods. Instead, the terms of title transfer should be detailed separately within the purchasing contract because there can be multiple variations of ownership transfer within the same Incoterm.
Take, for example, a shipment purchased under a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) arrangement where components are to be used for production at the buyer's manufacturing premises. The goods could be purchased under EX Works (EXW), which would make the buyer responsible for all of the activities and costs associated with getting the merchandise from the foreign seller's dock to the buyer's production site, and yet by contract would have the seller agree to hold title to the goods until such time that they are physically pulled for production.
Other things that Incoterms don't do, include:
- Application to services.
- Define contractual rights and obligations other than for delivery.
- Specify details of the transfer, transport and/or delivery.
- Protect a party from risk of loss.
- Define the remedies for breach of contract.
Another problem I see routinely is where a U.S. buyer places an international order in which it has simply used an incorrect term for the intended shipment, or has combined terms that result in a confusing hybrid, such as "EXW-Duty Paid."
I also have seen — with rather surprising frequency — a buyer placing a domestic order with a domestic vendor (at a fully landed-cost price), but he includes an international Incoterm, such as FCA, on the purchase order.
In several of these instances, this resulted in an international shipment arriving from the domestic vendor's foreign manufacturing plant, which not only made the buyer responsible for clearing customs, but also for paying (again) the entry fees, duty and tax — something akin to ordering a new TV from Best Buy, only to learn later that your TV has arrived at the Port of Los Angeles and now requires you to perform the customs clearance.
In essence, Incoterms help to define how little, or how much, you want to be involved with the international movement — from controlling everything under EXW, to having the goods simply arrive at your door under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP); understanding the costs and risks of each are critical.
If you're looking for some help, a great job aide I recommend highly is the "Illustrated Guide to Incoterms® 2010," published by World Trade Press (http://www.worldtradepress.com). Also available within their popular "Dictionary of International Trade," the visual format used is especially helpful in quickly understanding the roles and responsibilities of each term.

Film on Childhood Cancer Has Big Ambitions
Watching Jen, a bright-eyed 7-year-old with chemo-induced thinning hair, her face reddened from tears, lying on her side as a doctor prepares to perform a spinal tap, the agony of her anticipation is wrenching. She knows all too well what is coming. As she recounted in the hallway on her way to the procedure, she has already had eight spinal taps since her leukemia treatment began.
The scene takes up just a few minutes of the approximately 500 hours of footage that two Dayton, Ohio-based filmmakers, Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar, are turning into a 6-hour documentary titled A Lion in the House, which follows 5 children with cancer and their families over 6 years. A 30-minute segment of the film was shown on the NIH campus last week as part of a lecture series sponsored by NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD). A wide-ranging documentary, A Lion in the House offers a first-hand glimpse at the barriers and difficulties faced by cancer patients who are poor or from underserved communities. Tim, a 15-year-old African American being treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma, for example, can't maintain his weight. It's not that the treatment isn't going well: He lives in a small apartment with his mother (who was forced to go on welfare after Tim became sick), his aunt, and three other children. There just isn't enough food to go around.
Although A Lion in the House isn't scheduled to be shown nationwide on PBS-TV until early 2006, the experience of making the film led Ms. Reichert and Mr. Bognar to an important realization. "We didn't want to work on a film for 8 years and have it shown on TV only once," Ms. Reichert told the NIH audience. "That kept pushing us toward outreach."
That awareness led the filmmakers to secure funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and some nonprofit groups, including the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, to pursue using the film to raise awareness among the public and medical professionals about issues such as cancer care disparities, survivorship, and end-of-life care.
The documentary is important, said CRCHD Director Dr. Harold P. Freeman during the screening, because it provides a snapshot of the entire cancer experience. "It offers the opportunity to show the broader picture - a child's ordeal with cancer, a poor family - a universal story," he said. "Because if it occurs for these children, it occurs for everybody."
While much of the education and outreach is still in the planning stages, shorter clips from the documentary - shot primarily at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center - already are being pulled together into "educational modules" that speak to the filmmakers' goals to call national attention to health disparities, improve care, and strengthen support systems for childhood cancer patients and their families, especially those with socioeconomic challenges. Some modules have already been piloted with medical students and staff at Wright State University School of Medicine, where Ms. Reichert serves as a professor in both the Community Health and Theatre Arts departments.
Working with the Independent Television Service, which produces independent programming for PBS and was the initial source of funding for the film, Ms. Reichert and Mr. Bognar have begun to work more closely with the cancer community, bringing on partners such as the American Cancer Society and engaging in discussions with groups including the Oncology Nursing Society about developing continuing education materials based on the film. According to Dr. Emmanuel Taylor, of CRCHD's Health Policy Branch, NCI likely will be engaged in activities such as offering technical assistance on developing and evaluating the educational modules, including those for patient navigators, oncology doctors and nurses, new cancer patients and their families, and policy makers.
The filmmakers have high hopes for this project. "This is the hardest film we've ever made," Mr. Bognar said. "But I think it will be the most rewarding film we'll ever make."

News - Afghanistan
An Afghan policewoman opened fire on a US adviser in the Kabul police chief's compound Monday morning, senior police officials said.
The adviser later died in hospital. Isaf has confirmed the death, saying the victim was a civilian.
This is the first so-called green-on-blue attack by a female member of the Afghan security forces.
The shooter has been identified as Nargis. She has been arrested by security forces, said Mohammad Zahir, head of the police criminal investigation department.
Police have started investigating the incident, he said.
Insider attacks have increased dramatically over the past few years, with the greatest number of Isaf fatalities coming in 2012. Nato had suspended the training of Afghan security forces and stopped joint patrols with Afghan forces earlier this year.
The Pentagon said in a recent report that most of the insider attacks were motivated by personal grievances and cultural differences, downplaying insurgent infiltration.

So, what exactly is Kim Kardashian's job? Clearing up rumors and smoothing over celebrity feuds, apparently. Kardashian was first romantically linked to Kanye West last year, when she donned a Princess Leia costume for a sketch in the rapper's failed Comedy Central pilot. Recently the rumors flared up again, since both stars happen to be single though, as Kardashian points out, that isn't quite the case.
This morning Ryan Seacrest confronted the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star on his radio show, and she joked, "I think I'm still married." (Technically, Kim won't be available until she and Kris Humphries stop bickering over their annulment.) "I'm really not dating right now at all: I'm really just focusing on work," Kardashian explained. "I know I always say this, but I'm trying to just get through my situation and just have fun."
And what of the other feud that just won't die down? Kardashian tried to keep things classy when commenting on Jon Hamm calling her an ""idiot."" "I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not everyone takes the same path in life. We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another," she said. "I just feel like, to be honest, it's all about trying to stay focused and keeping everything positive. It really takes a lot more energy and effort to be harsh than to say something nice and be positive."

If you were right handed and couldn't raise your right arm at all without wincing in pain, it would drive you crazy right? Nancy Naeve Brown and Photojournalist Jeff Cleland were allowed into the operating room to watch as a Sioux Falls woman had her torn rotator cuff repaired without having to cut open her shoulder.
Renee Coley from Sioux Falls is having surgery in one of the new Avera Surgery Center Operating Suites to have her right rotator cuff repaired. A fix she has been looking forward to.
Renee says, "Everyone asks me how I did it? I don't really know. I've been suffering since January with it and I have pain all the way from my elbow to my neck which really gives be a headache."
Dr. Erik Peterson CORE Orthopedics Avera says, "In her case, it's the most common reason (for the tear). It comes from rubbing on a prominent spur. You see the bone; it sits above the rotator cuff and acts life the roof of the shoulder. Often times a spur develops on the end of that bone and overtime can lead to thinning and eventually a tear or a hole develops in the rotator cuff as was the case with her."
Surgeon Dr. Erik Peterson operates under a green light. It helps him see the monitors better and yet still see what's going on around him.
Dr. Peterson says, "The traditional surgical approach for rotator cuff repair is to make a large incision around the shoulder splitting through the muscle in order to get down to the level of the rotator cuff and then repair the tendons back. I use a minimally invasive approach called arthroscopic rotator repair which includes making tiny hole pokes or key holes around the shoulder inserting a small instrument called an arthroscope, we view it on the screen and using various instruments and suture anchors in order to repair the tendon."
Before he can suture the tendon in place on the shoulder bone he shaves down the surface of that bone to make it bleed. The bone thinks it's fractured and initiates a healing response so the tendon adheres solidly to it. The real advantage to this less invasive way of repairing her rotator cuff is less pain meds and a faster recovery. Renee will start rehab in month.
Renee says, "I know it's going to be tough, but you have to have pain to gain."
Gaining motion and strength in her right arm is something she very much looks forward to having again.
We are going to follow Renee through some of her physical therapy and rehab too.
