here now
Well, hello again. It's been awhile, hasn't it? As they say, I'm here now.
It's been a bit of a whirlwind 6 months or so since I stopped blogging. During that time I debated whether to start posting here again – how much effort I wanted to put into this site, how much of my life I wanted to share, whether I'd rather spend my time on other priorities. That choice made itself – life got in the way. I moved to Seattle, started culinary school, got a boyfriend, made new friends. And now here I am near the end of my second quarter of school, wondering where the time went.
On this rainy Memorial Day (Seattle why do you always have to be so….Seattle) I finally feel like I am in a place where I want to start sharing again. I think you'll see more writing and musings, and less pretty styled pictures and carefully crafted recipes. It's what I have time for and what I feel the urge to create. I hope you'll forgive me for my long absence and stay with me as I explore this new space.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (News Release) -– University of Louisville track and field signee Codie Hamsley has been named the 2012-13 Gatorade Indiana Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA Today High School Sports, announced.
Hamsley is the first Gatorade award winner from Floyd Central High in Floyd Knobs, Ind.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and character demonstrated on and off the track, distinguishes Hamsley as Indiana's best high school boys track and field athlete. He now is a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year award to be announced in June.
This past spring, Hamsley won the discus state title, along with two of his three sectional titles. At the conclusion of his junior year, Hamsley placed runner-up in the discus. Recently, at the USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships, he scored a sixth-place finish in the event. Currently, Hamsley ranks fifth nationally among the 2013 class in the discus with a personal-best throw of 61.34m/201-3. Away from the track, Hamsley has maintained an exemplary academic standing and raised funds to benefit the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track and field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA Today High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.

Paul Anka apparently is ticked off at rap mogul Jay-Z . In a video interview with TMZ , the legendary singer/songwriter says he "loaned" his version of "My Way" to the hip-hop superstar some years ago, but nowadays Jay won't even return his phone calls. Anka wanted the rapper to add a verse to a Michael Jackson track that appears on his upcoming Duets album, but he claims that "Jay-Z has totally blown me off."
Nevertheless, Paul says he's a fan of Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce , who he thinks is "great."
Anka's Duets album, which is due out on April 9, will include a version of Jackson's "This Is It," a song he co-wrote with the King of Pop. Other collaborators on the collection include the late Frank Sinatra , Tom Jones , Michael McDonald , George Benson , Dolly Parton , Patti LaBelle , Peter Cetera , Willie Nelson , Leon Russell , Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan .

Survivor STORY
Andre and his mother were liberated at the end of 1944. Andre started to attend public school and life slowly returned to normal. Andre's father returned to the family in August 1945, after recuperating for several months in a sanitorium. Romania, after the war, became part of the Communist Eastern Bloc, and the family made plans to flee to the west. Ladislaw's factory was nationalized, and rather than give up his property, he set explosives on a timer, and blew it up.
Andre and his parents were arrested crossing the border into Austria, but were released and resettled as political refugees in Vienna in 1948. It was during this period that Andre learned that over 120 relatives had been murdered in the Holocaust.
In 195,1Andre's father joined his brothers in Paris, France, and Andre and his mother emigrated to New York. Andre continued his education and excelled at sports, but started getting into trouble. Just before graduating high school, Andre was arrested for stealing a car and was given the choice between reform school and joining the military. He joined the Navy, and was honored by induction into the Ceremonial Honor Guard in Washington, D.C. After the service, Andre graduated from New York University with a degree in business administration and then was drafted into the NBA and played two years of professional basketball. After retiring from the NBA, Andre embarked on a career in sales, which eventually brought him to Atlanta. He retired in 2001.
Andre and his wife, Marsha, married in 1973, and have two children, Gena and Laurence.
So, when the air raid sirens went off, because the Americans wanted to bomb the Ploeshdy [phonetic] oil fields, so you had to go to the air raid shelter. So the only way we could, I got out of the apartment is when we went to the air raid shelters. So again, it was always, "Be quiet, don't talk to a lot of people, don't draw attention to yourself." Fortunately, my mother did not look like the stereotype of what most Jewish looked like. My mother was blond hair and blue eyed. So she passed for non-Jewish. So we spent time in the air raid shelters. But my recollection, basically, when the war over was jubilation, of freedom, that I could go out of that apartment, I could go play again in the front yard, I could make friends. Because I grew up really from almost three until four-and-a-half, five years old not interacting with other children. My world was my mother.Coming to America
The ship had two sections. It had a woman's section and it had a man's section. At eleven, I was a pretty big kid, so they didn't think I belonged in with the women, so they put me in with the men. At first it was very traumatic, because I had never really been away from my mother. And then I learned aboard ship, that for the first time, food was plentiful, I could eat as much as I wanted to, and I had my first taste of freedom. My mother, unfortunately, spent the ten days that it took to cross in her bunk. She was seasick. The ship was, it was August and we were crossing the North Atlantic, there was, the ship was really a very small ship, so she was seasick. So I spent most of the crossing hanging over the railings. They were afraid I was going to fall overboard! But it was my first taste of freedom.
We landed in New York August the 17th, 1951. And it's funny, because in Europe, in Vienna, I wore, constantly as I young boy I wore short pants. I wore lederhosen, leather pants. When we got, just before we landed my mother somehow, somewhere from her suitcase, she reached and got me my first pair of long pants. So I had a shirt, long pants, and we got off the dock and my mother's brother was waiting for us with his, two of his sons. And he had a Buick, a big Buick convertible. And they took us, the ship landed, in New York the docks were over on the West Side, and we went from there. And he took us down Broadway, with all the lights. And it was, I remember the old Camel cigarette sign with the guy blowing smoke rings out of his mouth. And we were down Broadway and my uncle said, "You're free. You're in America. You can breathe easy now."Learning English
In high school I had joined the drama club. I got involved with acting. And I still, I was 16, almost 17 years old, I still had an accent. So all the parts I got to play was always the ones that called for accents. I had a teacher, and I still remember her name, Mrs. Hupschmidt, and Mrs. Hupschmidt got polio late in life. She had two leg braces and she walked with crutches. And she had a very distinct way of speaking. And one day she got a hold of me and says, "Andre?" This is how she spoke. And she says, "With your accent, you're as much a cripple as I am." I know. This was a terrible thing to say to a 16-year-old boy. She says, "Work with me an hour a day," she says. "Instead of going to lunch, come to my class, we'll have your lunch there." And she literally was my Professor Higgins. It was "how now brown cow," and the rain in Spain," and rocks in the mouth, marbles, and she got rid of my accent. The only accent I still have I think to this day, I have a New York accent.Remembering and Legacy
Well, when my wife was pregnant with Gena and she called and told me that she was pregnant, I couldn't stop smiling for three days. The thoughts, what came to my mind, "It's OK. Continuation." By that time, I was involved, more or less, in the Holocaust, we formed Second Generation, Children of Holocaust Survivors. I was very active in that organization here in Atlanta. And, very honestly, what went through my mind was continuation. We lost a million-and-a-half kids. Now here I'm looking at my kids. So it's continuation. That as much as Hitler and the Nazis wanted to get rid of us, didn't succeed. We're here. I survived, and now I'm going to have children who survive, and hopefully, one of these days, I will have grandchildren. So continuation is what went through my mind.

First some historical perspective: prime numbers of the form
2q-1 are named "Mersenne primes" after the French monk
Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), who discussed them in correspondence with
the great Fermat. Mersenne primes have long played an important role in
theory--for example, in the theory of so-called perfect numbers and in
cryptography, where certain algebraic fields enjoy efficient,
Mersenne-based arithmetic. Though Mersenne primes have been studied for
centuries, many fundamental questions remain, including whether an infinite
number of them exist.
The only way to determine whether a very large number is really prime is to
run a so-called primality test, which in the case of Mersenne primes can be
an efficient manifestation called the Lucas-Lehmer test. The Lucas-Lehmer
test involves the squaring of giant numbers--numbers with thousands or
millions of digits.
For such arithmetic, the underlying algorithm--an "irrational base discrete
weighted transform" (IBDWT)--was developed in the
early 1990s by R. Crandall at Reed College and NeXT, Inc., using
Mathematica as a prototyping environment. It was this algorithm
that Woltman cast in the mid-1990s as an assembler variant, thus
completing the prototyping/development cycle for which
Mathematica is ideal.
The idea of the IBDWT is to expand giant numbers in an irrational base. One
then applies a discrete weighted transform--a variant of the classical
FFT--to multiply or square numbers in this base with unprecedented speed.
As Crandall puts it:
"Mathematica is an ideal environment for the requisite mixing of
symbolics and numerics and the kind of interactive exploration
that leads to such a new, nonstandard algorithm."
A prime-number wall poster, showing all decimal digits (more than two
million of them) for the record prime number is available from Perfectly Scientific, Inc.

Loss to Aggies leaves volleyball with day-two Mean Green split
DENTON, Texas -- Northern Colorado volleyball found itself in an 0-2 hole on Saturday afternoon for the second straight day at the North Texas Mean Green Volleyball Classic.
The Bears this time, though, weren't able to climb all the way out in a 3-1 (23-25, 23-25, 25-19, 22-25) loss to New Mexico State, which received 28 votes in this year's AVCA Top 25 Preseason Poll.
The Bears (3-1) started the day with a resounding 3-0 (26-24, 25-23, 25-18) win against Texas-San Antonio, setting the stage for their tournament-heavyweight showdown.
The Aggies were just too tough.
They chased Northern Colorado into the break with a pair of 23-25 victories, but the Bears broke from intermission with a 25-19 victory and seemed poised to repeat their performance from Friday morning, when they knocked off SMU in five sets after falling behing 0-2.
New Mexico State (3-0) squelched that thought, though, with a 25-22 set-four victory.
"I'm proud of our weekend," Northern Colorado coach Lyndsey Benson said. "I thought we really battled through some adversity and fought through, even in this last match (against NMSU), proving we can play with some of the top teams. New Mexico State is a very good team. They are great offensively, but we countered that and we were pretty good offensively, too. But we just couldn't make some key defensive plays.
"We'll get to work on that this week. We need more matches like this one. We need to go against great offensive teams that will push us. So playing New Mexico State was a great learning match for us early in the season. And we'll get better because of it."
Kenzie Shreeve finished with team-high kills in both of the Bears' matches Saturday, getting 11 in the morning match and 14 in the afternoon. True-freshman Kelley Arnold, after a slow start Friday, got going Saturday with 20 kills in the two matches while commiting just three errors.
And Taylor Smith, after turning in a .438 hitting percentage in the loss to the Aggies, finished the two-day tournament in her hometown with an absolutely scorching .514 hitting percentage.
Smith's numbers weren't quite good enough to lead the Bears to a tournament title, but they were enough to land Smith on the Mean Green Classic All-Tournament team.
"Taylor had a great offensive weekend and was a solid blocker all weekend as well," Benson said. "She's absolutely deserving of earning that honor in her hometown tournament."
Breanna VanDerMost led the Bears defensively in the morning win (11 digs), while Julie Stephenson keyed the charge in the loss (14). But, in what is potentially becoming a trend for Benson's crew, they were just part of the defensive effort in the two matches.
Five players in all scooped up at least four digs in the win against Texas-San Antonio, and the same was true against New Mexico State.
"We just keep growing with each match and getting a little bit better each time," Benson said. "We're getting a lot better with our mental toughness, to win those close sets. That's been a big difference early on this year, is that we've really been able to pull out those close ones at the end. At 20-20, we've been really tough."

Anthony Weiner is not dropping out of the race. But it's clear that the sexting scandal and the constant questions about it are getting to him.
Since the second wave of his sexting scandal broke last week, dozens of reporters have questioned him about it every day. So, Weiner's campaign offered one-on-one interviews with him on Friday to answer the questions again.
Weiner's campaign manager quit last weekend. A few days ago, a story broke about his communications director, Barbara Morgan, who had flown into a tirade against a former intern. Morgan called the intern numerous vulgar names, including "slut."
Weiner has complained that the media is strictly focused on his scandal and ignores issues that voters are more concerned about. So Fox 5 asked him how he felt about the teacher's union and what the role of the school's chancellor would be if he were mayor.

Text-messaging anti-smoking phrases may be an effective method to motivate a smoker to quit long-term, according to a review of studies looking at anti-smoking interventions.
The review of five studies, which included 9,000 smokers, found that smokers were more likely to quit if sent motivational text messages and quitting advice. In some cases, when participants felt the urge to smoke, interactive messages that required the participant's response were helpful.

Gas pipeline: a less messy choiceSeptember 19,2013As co-owners of Kennedy Brothers in Vergennes, we have been looking forward to reducing our greenhouse gas footprint by replacing outdated oil-fueled furnaces with smaller, cleaner, and more efficient gas furnaces. This will also provide much-needed savings to our tenants, which are all locally owned small businesses. Thus, we attended the public hearing in Middlebury on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
It was disappointing to hear so many statements that just made no sense ecologically. It was also annoying that almost no supporters got to speak because the opponents listed themselves as supporting the pipeline on the sign-up-to-speak forms. We are as concerned about climate change as much as the opponents to this project, but we see natural gas as the better solution.
Ever since people began using fire, we have abused the environment for our energy needs. Nothing has changed, except there are a lot more people doing it today and we have more sources of energy. No energy source is perfect. Wind farms are despised by otherwise green people because they spoil the views. Hydropower dams rivers. Solar panels require mining materials and dirty chemical processes to manufacture, and many dont like the look of fields of solar panels. Nuclear has radioactive waste issues. Oil is messy (many oil spills and dirty drilling process) and generates greenhouse gases, as does natural gas, wood, coal and biomass. Nothing is perfect.
Whether it is people denuding mountainsides of trees for firewood, or BP spilling oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, humankinds use of energy negatively impacts the environment. So it all comes down to one question: What do we choose in order to minimize the mess we make? Because people arent giving up their heat, cooking and lighting, not to mention driving. That is the question the Public Service Board needs to keep in mind as it decides on the certificate of public good for the Colchester-to-Middlebury pipeline.
The pipeline into Middlebury will not make this worse. It will be better since gas for heat can be burned at very high efficiency, compared to oil, and is cleaner burning as well. It is also lower cost, which will benefit all the people who can access the gas, as well as businesses. It will not increase the damage to the environment. It will likely reduce negative impacts, and I expect evidence showing that will be provided at the technical hearings the PSB will conduct next week.
All the comments at the PSB meeting in Middlebury about adding to our greenhouse problem make no sense. This replaces one fuel (mostly oil) with more efficient and cleaner gas. It doesnt lock anyone into gas for the next 100 years either. That is just absurd. It will only be used as long as it makes sense. When we develop new clean energy sources that replace oil and gas, then the gas line will go into disuse.
All the comments on scarring the land make no sense either. Once the construction is complete, it will have much, much, much, less of an impact than a road. It is not taking any land. It will be under land that can continue to raise corn or hay or graze cows. One must wonder where the people at this meeting are getting their misinformation. The few pressure control stations and distribution points will be above ground and in out of the way areas.
As for safety, most people in the United States are served by underground gas lines, and have been for decades. It is an exceedingly rare day when someone dies because of a gas explosion. Worrying about the safety of underground pipelines is like worrying about electric lines falling on you as you walk down the street. Almost never happens.
People are messy. Once again, to emphasize the decision under consideration by the Public Service Board: What mess do we choose to make?
In our view a natural gas pipeline is the smaller mess, and provides lower cost energy for the people and businesses of Addison County.

Dr. Glenn Wong of Scotts Valley has made a career out of poking people with needles to diagnose blood disorders. He also does everything possible to make his patients feel comfortable and help them get back on track.
I met him in 2008, shortly after completing surgery and treatment for breast cancer. Because my oncologist was no longer covered by our insurance, I was forced to find another doctor.
It was difficult to change oncologists, but Wong's friendly, compassionate nature put me at ease right away.
"I love developing a relationship with my patients," Wong said. "They become my teachers. We work together every step of the way to ensure that proper treatment is given. They're like family."
Born in 1973, Wong and his older sister, Dana, were raised in Alameda. His father, Donald, was a pharmacist, and his mother, Elaine, worked as an elementary school teacher.
"Even though my dad worked long hours, I have fond memories of fishing together and helping him work on his rental properties," Wong said. "I also enjoyed sports, especially tennis and lacrosse."
Wong considered going into the medical field in high school.
"I became fascinated by human biology and how the body works," he said. "I also excelled in math and physics. This helped steer me in the direction I decided to go in college."
Wong attended University of California, Davis, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1996. He received his medical degree from Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo in 2001.
The following year, he met Uyen Hoang, an optometry student, through a shared friend. They were married in 2002 at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. He completed his internship in internal medicine at Saint Elizabeth's Medical Center, a teaching affiliate of Tufts University in Boston, Mass.
"After being exposed to the multiple phases of internal medicine during rotations, I decided that I wanted to go into the field of hematology and oncology," Wong said. "I enjoyed looking at blood under a microscope in order to diagnose blood cancer. I also thought there was a better chance to bond with my patients in this field."
Wong and his family moved to Scotts Valley in 2008 after he was offered an oncology and hematology position at Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Santa Cruz. His wife was also hired at the clinic as an optometrist.
He spoke about the hardest part of his job — losing a patient.
"I've seen more than my share of loss," Wong said. "But this is a part of life. What's touching is the resilience of the human spirit and the courage we witness. People with a strong faith and a positive outlook seem to tolerate treatment better, and they are usually more accepting of the outcome."
At 40, Wong is working with PAMF to develop a survivor program to help patients get back on track after they leave the hospital. This would include a team of professionals including psychiatrists, primary care doctors and counselors.
"A lot of people have survivor issues that need to be addressed," he added.
Off the job, Wong loves to mountain bike in the redwoods. He also likes to surf.
"When I'm biking in the redwoods I can leave all that stress behind me and just focus on the beauty around me," Wong said. "It's the same thing when I'm surfing in the ocean."
He also enjoys the simple things, such as time with his wife and the laughter of his two children, Sierra, 7, and Evan, 5.
"I'm just a regular guy who wants to make a difference in our community," Wong said. "I love Scotts Valley and feel so blessed to live in this area."

responds: Several things make this type of job
very challenging: It can be difficult to finish the
wall on the same plane as the existing stucco.
You'll undoubtedly wind up with shrinkage
cracking around the perimeter of the old opening.
And most challenging of all, it's
extremely difficult to match the color and texture
of existing weathered stucco with a new mix.
It's likely the existing coating on the
foundation is a multi-layer cement parge coat, and
not true stucco. True stucco contains white
waterproof cement, lime, and silica sand, and is
applied over metal lathe. Each coat is mixed to
different strengths, starting with the scratch
coat, which has the highest cement content for the
highest strength. Each layer outwards gets
increasingly weaker, with the finish coat being the
weakest and least brittle to minimize cracking.
Instead of using a bagged mortar mix, repair the
parge coat with a product such as Monocouche
(Parex, P.O. Box 189, Redan, GA 30074;
800/537-2739). This can be applied in one coat
(just add water). It's incredibly strong;
you can build it up to about 21/4 inches thick
without it checking or cracking. Also, like true
stucco, Monocouche has a white base, so it can be
tinted with iron-oxide pigments to closely match
the existing finish.

Great seats!!! Love the fact that we were able to get the Tommy Lasorda replica Hall of Frame Plaque...a memorable treasure to keep for the grandchildren.
The Los Angeles Dodgers conclude the 2009 regular season with a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers hope to end the season's final month the same way they began it: in first place, heading toward the playoffs. But manager Jim Tracy's surging Rockies are one of several teams making a late push to unseat the Dodgers.

Habitat for Humanity International establishes alliance with Independent Community Bankers
WASHINGTON, May 10, 2004 — Habitat for Humanity International and the Independent Community Bankers of America are establishing a national alliance to address poverty housing and the lack of affordable homes in the United States.
The alliance will encourage Habitat for Humanity affiliates and community banks across the country to form local alliances to address local need. The organizations signed the alliance during ICBA's annual meeting of community banking leaders in Washington
The HFHI-ICBA alliance will serve as a vehicle to establish local relationships between Habitat's nearly 1,700 United States-based affiliates and community banks in their areas where there is the greatest need. There are more than 8,800 community banks across the country, including commercial banks and savings and loans. ICBA represents the largest constituency of community banks in the nation.
The alliance will include the launch of ICBA National Build Day, in which staff and leadership of community banks will work on Habitat for Humanity construction sites across the country to build houses with low-income families. The first ICBA National Build Day will be in 2005.
"This partnership holds exciting opportunities for Habitat for Humanity and community banks," said Tom Jones, vice president, Habitat for Humanity International. "Manifested at the local level, these groups will leverage their resources, expertise and skills to help families better their lives and their communities."
ICBA's goal is to raise a minimum of $120,000 to support construction of Habitat houses. The group will establish an Independent Community Bankers of America Fund to manage donations from ICBA members. ICBA will also work with Habitat's international office to organize additional volunteer build days with community banks across the country.
"Community banks help millions of Americans realize the dream of homeownership every day," said Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of ICBA. "Many of our members already work with Habitat for Humanity in their local communities. This alliance merely strengthens the common goal between ICBA and Habitat to help provide housing for every family possible."
About ICBA
ICBA represents the largest constituency of community banks in the nation and is dedicated exclusively to protecting the interests of the community banking industry. ICBA aggregates the power of its members to provide a voice for community banking interests in Washington, resources to enhance community bank education and marketability, and profitability options to help community banks compete in an ever-changing marketplace. www.icba.org [1].
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is a Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 3,000 communities in 92 nations have built and sold more than 150,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. www.habitat.org [2].

What's in Store
for 2013
Tom Zara
In January 2010 an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude rocked Haiti, leaving 650,000 Haitians homeless and destitute. Already one of the poorest countries on earth, with a crushing mixture of exposure to natural disasters, poor infrastructure, rampant malnutrition, and low educational attainment, Haiti on the eve of the quake had already spent decades near the bottom of every global index. The Haitian people, as a result, had become forgotten and ignored by much of the global community, consigned to the "basket case" category by the cynical and the well meaning alike.
After the quake, something remarkable happened. Money, relief, and volunteers began pouring in to the country, much of it through corporate giving and corporate matches—eventually totaling over $5.2 billion. Largesse this robust carried the potential not only to help Haiti recover from the earthquake, but also to "build back better" so many of the social institutions and infrastructure Haiti had long lacked. Yet today more than 600,000 Haitians still call displacement camps home, generally under squalid conditions and with uncertain hopes for the future. More than mere metaphor, this episode speaks to the failure of good intentions. While this chapter of human suffering remains unfinished, and the resolve to bring some semblance of normality to all Haitians continues to motivate millions of generous intentions, the question remains glaring: Why hasn't citizenship, and corporate citizenship in particular, been more effective?
We've split off our best thinking from our best intentions. Focus is the key to reuniting them. We need to remember there are two pieces; "citizenship" is only half of it. We like to say yes to the ever-widening requests for help. We want to try to be good citizens, but in doing so we are, ironically, neglecting the "corporate" piece—which is where the focus and effectiveness reside. If our efforts are failing to register a meaningful change—if all that money is adding up to mere hand wringing, as the Haitian case suggests—then we need look no further than our own tendency to think of corporate citizenship as an addendum to our business (at best) or a necessary medicine we take because we're told it's good for us. It's past time to align strategy and social conscience.
One would think that marshalling energy and desire into a concerted and focused corporate citizenship strategy would be a logical and presumed competency of any well-managed organization. Evidence would suggest otherwise. Having canvassed CSR executives, heads of corporate foundations, CMOs and CEOs on the efficacy of their corporate citizenship, the frequent lament was the same: The tendency to steadfastly perpetuate grandfathered charitable efforts, coupled with the seemingly inexhaustible number of requests for help, contributes to an overwhelming set of choices and decisions.
We must operate companies in the hard light of economic uncertainty and face the cold facts that more are in need and there are fewer funds to support these needs. Corporations have fallen into the trap of diluting their commitments as a compromise to "feed the mouths" of more obligations. This well-intentioned thinking is taking us down the wrong road.
Corporate citizenship has six constituents that define the horizon of any strategic approach of "doing good." They are: the corporation's employees; its customers; its suppliers; the communities in which it operates and plays; the governments with jurisdiction over the corporation's affairs; and the planet we all rely on.
A 2009 Interbrand global study on corporate citizenship concludes, among other things, that any aspect of corporate citizenship directly correlates to all other aspects of the definition. In other words, if you are known to excel at programs that relate to the community, you get credit for all five other dimensions of citizenship. One has both the opportunity and permission to focus, and the reputation of the company is neither diluted nor compromised by embracing the strategy of single-mindedness.
That focus will enable you to manage the gap that exists between your corporate citizenship performance and public perception. It was this gap that shaped Interbrand's latest corporate citizenship research, our Best Global Green Brands study. We knew that if we were going to create a better measurement of a brand's participation in sustainability (and there are already over 100 in existence), we needed to consider two dimensions. The first was public perception. What does the customer actually think about these brands relative to their responsibility to the environment? We also know that in this world of transparency there is a tremendous amount of data available. Today we can actually examine the processes and the performance of these organizations. It's the marriage of these two metrics, performance and perception, that gives us a truer reflection of how well these organizations are doing. And each must be managed carefully, as scoring too highly on either measure can be dangerous. If public perception outpaces your performance you could be called out for greenwashing. If your performance far outweighs perception you are leaving a considerable amount of value on the table.
How an organization chooses where to focus and communicate that focus is the key—the place where the rhetoric gives way to reality. And that is precisely the place where this issue of IQ picks up the trail.

Timeshare and Resort Consumer Protection Act
While vacationing with my family in Orlando we were offered \"free\" tickets if we attended a \"no obligation\" presentation. I was psicologically pressured to sing a contract and the reason I did it, is not that I am stupid (yes I was) They lied to me about the timeshare to increase in value, they lied to me that they would rent it for me (they had a lot of people in waiting lists) and they even lied to me about re-selling it with a gain...Now I am being sued, they will foreclose a \"property\" that really is not an Investment like a Real Estate investment, is \"just the right to rent a week whenever they please\" Never was disclosed that there was a risk involved on it and now I will be forced to pay them $20,000 for nothing or damage my credit and my family future filing in an bakrupcy court. I know I am not the only one on this and when I tried to find a group or some information about how to respond to this I could not find it anywhere in the entire wide world web. I hope to unite a lot of people that is on my situtaion a form a group to submit a law that will protect consumers from these professional con artists. In short words, they commited the following Acts: Misleading Advertising. Improper Selling Practices. Non-delivery of Goods or Services. Misrepresentation. Unhonored Guarantees or Warranty. Unsatisfactory Service. Unfulfilled Contracts.
I think the Timeshare business should be run out of business. They make big bucks off little people.They do nothing but lie,inform and committ fraud. Something wrong with this picture. Where is the protection for us little people?

Team Ratings
Real Madrid
A glorified spectator for most of the evening, yet he could do nothing to prevent Dzeko giving City a shock opener or Kolarov restoring the hosts' advantage.
R. Varane
A surprise starter in favour of Sergio Ramos, the youngster looked assured in the face of some formidable attacking talent, but at times looked out of position, particularly as City attacked in the second half.
The visitors' lack of threat in wide areas allowed him to play most of the match as an auxiliary winger - some would say his best role. Despite rumours of a private feud, he combined well with Ronaldo and gave Maicon a torrid evening. Looked his side's likeliest goal threat after the break, and deserved his deflected equaliser.
His covering pace stifled a number of City's attempted counterattacks, and he handled Tevez with ease during the Argentine's time on the pitch.
Caught out of position a couple of times when Kolarov chanced to venture forward, but the Serb's poor delivery ensured he never paid the price.
Xabi Alonso
His stunning passing range was in evidence again, switching the ball from flank to flank with ease and keeping City on the ropes for the majority of the evening.
S. Khedira
His industry and physicality kept Silva on the periphery but, as he tired, he fatally allowed Toure more room to break from midfield.
M. Essien
Not quite the implacable beast of old, but this was a promising display in which he largely kept City's creative talents firmly in check. His lack of general fitness, however, lead to his withdrawal after 65 minutes.
Á. di María
His work rate, pace and skill gave Clichy trouble in the opening exchanges, and only his own poor shooting prevented him getting his reward. His influence dwindled after Kolarov's introduction, but set up Benzema's equaliser well.
Cristiano Ronaldo
If he is unhappy in Madrid, he certainly didn't show it. Rampant in the early stages, only Hart kept him off the scoresheet until the 89th minute, when he unleashed a devilish dipping winner.
G. Higuaín
The Argentine was presented with a number of chances, but a combination of Hart's brilliance and his own profligacy meant he endured a barren, and ultimately frustrating, evening.
Manchester City
J. Hart
The only reason his team withstood an early Real Madrid barrage. Made brilliant saves to deny Ronaldo and Higuain, and provided a reassuring presence at the heart of an uncertain defence. Unlucky to be on the losing side, although he might perhaps have done better with Ronaldo's winner.
G. Clichy
Seriously troubled by the pace, skill and trickery of Di Maria, he looked far calmer when reinforcement arrived in the form of Kolarov.
V. Kompany
Outwitted by Ronaldo and Higuain early, and inexplicably ducked out of the way as Ronaldo's dipping shot flew past him and into the net.
M. Nastasić
The words "baptism of fire" don't quite go far enough in describing his selection for this game. He had some hairy moments, and in the end succumbed as Benzema turned him to drill into the net.
Faced with one of the hardest tasks in football in stopping Ronaldo, he failed more miserably than anyone could have predicted. Embarrassed time and again by the Portuguese superstar and whoever else chose to take him on, his mind must have drifted back to Gareth Bale and that tortuous evening at White Hart Lane two years ago.
S. Nasri
Had very little time to make any sort of impact before a suspected hamstring injury forced his withdrawal 37 minutes in.
Javi García
A slightly more effective shielding presence than Barry, but Madrid's tendency to attack down the flanks rather than through the middle limited his ability to protect his defence.
Y. Touré
Starved of possession early on, he grew into the contest and his awesome driving runs provided City's most likely hope of a goal. Eventually, on 68 minutes, one did, but his night ended in misery anyway.
David Silva
Showed some excellent touches, although he was never afforded the chance to showcase the class which reportedly made the Spanish giants so keen to prise him away from the Etihad Stadium.
G. Barry
Made some important interceptions as Madrid dominated in the first half, but at times looked off the pace when the home side attacked at speed.
C. Tévez
Industrious as ever, but a chronic lack of service meant most of his efforts were in vain.
L. Modrić
Replaced Khedira with just over 15 minutes left, and his assured touch and awareness played it's own part in his side's remarkable comeback.
M. Özil
Came on for Essien on 65 minutes and added more creativity and vision to the Madrid attack, but his introduction also helped create the space for Dzeko's opener.
K. Benzema
Brought on as an impact substitute on 73 minutes and fulfilled the role to perfection, drilling a superb equaliser beyond Hart.
P. Zabaleta
Replaced the disastrous Maicon, but fared little better up against Ronaldo, allowing the Portuguese to cut inside and smash home the winner.
A. Kolarov
Chosen as Nasri's replacement to give his team greater width and defensive solidity, he did manage to help Clichy restrict Di Maria, but poor decision-making meant he contributed little to his side's forays forward. His curling free-kick looked to have given his side an unlikely victory, but it wasn't to be.
E. Džeko
Brought on to give his side greater cutting edge, and took his chance with aplomb on 68 minutes. Unfortunately for his team, it wasn't enough.

I would like to inform you of an app I have recently created for the Apple AppStore. It is called SkyGems and it is about Double Star Observing.
It has a database of about 1300 double stars and allows filtering based on:
- constellations
- magnitudes
- separation
- primary color
- designations (Bayer, Flamsteed, Struve, Variable)
The application displays results as either text lists or graphic depictions.
Detailed information is given for each couple.
If you shake your device while viewing a specific double star the field changes North-South East-West directions to allow for use or not of star diagonals.
I hope that you will find this app useful for your double star observing!
This is the link for the app ($0.99)

A mystery is afoot. And it has to do with the new G.I. Joe: Retaliation international trailer.
It's not the mystery actually featured within the trailer the one concerning a nefarious U.S. president who turns out to actually be an evil doppelganger of the kidnapped head of state. It has to do with the fact that in this two-and-a-half minute video, we see approximately five seconds of Mr. Channing Tatum.
You might recall that the developing G.I. Joe flick was supposed to actually hit theaters this past summer, before it was announced pretty close to the release date, in fact that the movie would be pushed back until March of 2013. We all speculated that the delay had everything to do with the lack of focus paid to Tatum, who became a superstar after his casting in this film. The film was to be converted to 3D, but the world assumed that announed reshoots were also intended to give Tatum a larger and more central role a logical move considering the popularity of the young actor. But the new trailer doesn't seem to offer any indication of the sort. We're just as Tatumless as we were before.
The one scene that does feature Tatum slates him as star Dwayne Johnson's babysitter hardly the hero position we all assumed he'd be taking. Then, things explode, and we never see him again. The rest of the trailer focuses on Johnson's ragtag team of Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, Ray Park, and the ringer Bruce Willis, and their mission to faceoff against the president impersonator.
Thus, our steadfast hypotheses on why G.I. Joe: Retaliation was heading back into the furnace are shot to hell. Why didn't they amp up the Tatum?
That is the question plaguing the world right now. Check out the trailer below, compare it to trailers of past, and let us know come up with a good theory... we're dyin' here! We need an answer!
