GIM Announcements
International Business and Markets
Global Initiatives in Management (GIM)
A cornerstone of the Kellogg School's international curriculum is the Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) program. GIM began in 1990 when a group of 27 students organized a course and a two-week trip to what was then the Soviet Union. Since then, the program has expanded greatly, covering five continents and hundreds of international destinations. Today, 250 students participate annually in the program, which offers courses to Kellogg's Full-Time and Evening & Weekend programs.
GIM China/Korea 2015 Plenary Meeting with Baidu in Beijing
GIM Basics
The GIM program is an intensive global business course, designed with the following objectives that will allow students to:
Gain an in-depth understanding of the economic, political, social, and culture characteristics of a country or region outside the United States
Learn about key business trends, norms, challenges, and successes in a country or region outside the United States
Conduct international business research on a topic of interest
Further develop teamwork and leadership skills
The GIM experience is divided into two sections---in-class and in-country:
In-Class Portion:
GIM is offered as a Winter elective class for Full-Time and Evening & Weekend students that meets 8 out of the 10 weeks during the Winter Quarter in addition to one wrap-up class that meets during the Spring Quarter.
Winter Quarter (Jan. 4-Mar. 11)
8 classes
Academic course focused on broad overview of country or region (or topic within country or region)
GIM Trip (Mar. 13-25) *trip dates vary by class
All-class company meetings
Group project company meetings
Cultural activities
Free time
Spring Quarter (April 6 9:00am)
1 class
Research presentations
Wrap-up discussion
Major Deliverable:
Students work in groups of four - five to design a business plan, research question, industry analysis, or business case around a business topic of interest (see examples below) relating to all countries being studied.
Examples of GIM 2015 Student Projects
China's Beer Industry: An Analysis of Evolving Behavior and Growth Potential for Brewers in the World's Largest Consumer Market
Luxury Cosmetics in Asia: Urban Decay's Entry Strategy
India's Prospects for Digital Media Disruption
Expanding Wine Sales to Middle-Class Brazilians: A Proposal to Concha Y Toro
In-Country Portion:
Over spring break, all GIM classes will spend up to ten days in-country. All students are expected to arrange their own international flights and meet up with their classes at 9:00am on the designated start-date of their itineraries. At the end of the trip, students may either continue traveling or return to Evanston. All students are expected to return in time for their first class of the Spring Quarter.
In-country time is primarily devoted to business and culture, with free time for the students primarily in the evenings and during the weekends. The class will meet with government officials and business and industry leaders as a group (called "plenary meetings"; see examples below), while the group project teams will work to set up their own meetings and conduct first-hand research with key stakeholders in country.

Bluetooth meets best-in-class noise canceling: the Bose QuietComfort 35 is the ultimate noise canceling wireless headphone you can buy right now.
The Bose SoundSport Wireless is the most comfortable, best overall in-ear Bluetooth sports headphone you can buy right now.
The wireless successor to the QuietComfort 20, the upcoming QC30, which also features active noise-cancellation, arrives this September for $300.
Bose takes a crack at the fitness tracker market by building a heart-rate monitor into its SoundSport Pulse Wireless headphones.
Pricing not available
The affordable Bose SoundTouch 10 is an impressive sounding compact Wi-Fi wireless speaker that also offers Bluetooth connectivity.
The Bose SoundTouch 30 keeps a good pace for both price and feature count with mostly excellent sound quality, particularly at moderate volumes.
While the Bose SoundSport In-Ear may not be the best sounding in-ear headphone for the money, the design and comfort level are great, and it's ideal for people who want this sort of headphone style without the need to jam the tips into their ear canals.
If you're looking for a pair of clean-sounding, really comfortable in-ear noise-isolating headphones that stay in your ears, the Bose SoundTrue Ultra should be on your short list.
As the very comfortable Bose SoundTrue In-Ear nears retirement, it's become a better value with some nice price chops on certain colors.
Bose SoundLink Mini II remains one the few standout products in the ultracompact wireless speaker category, featuring a top-notch design and very good sound for its tiny size.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

"I chose to remain a domiciled taxpayer for a couple of reasons. The main one was that I wanted my children to grow up where I grew up, to have proper roots in a culture as old and magnificent as Britain's; to be citizens, with everything that implies, of a real country, not free-floating ex-pats, living in the limbo of some tax haven and associating only with the children of similarly greedy tax exiles.
A second reason, however, was that I am indebted to the British welfare state; the very one that Mr Cameron would like to replace with charity handouts. When my life hit rock bottom, that safety net, threadbare though it had become under John Major's Government, was there to break the fall. I cannot help feeling, therefore, that it would have been contemptible to scarper for the West Indies at the first sniff of a seven-figure royalty cheque. This, if you like, is my notion of patriotism. ..." J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter author) on why she does not leave Britain to avoid high taxes.

CLOVIS, N.M. - Rural New Mexico residents who want to ring in with their opinions about which part of the state should switch telephone area codes have less than two weeks to turn up the volume for their voices to be heard.
The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission originally voted 3-2 on May 8 to have the greater Albuquerque-Santa Fe-Los Alamos area in central New Mexico switch to a new area code later this year.
The new area code is needed because New Mexico is projected to reach the maximum amount of telephone numbers available in the state's current 505 numbering plan area by fall 2002, according to PRC data.
But after pressure from protesters in Albuquerque and other parts of central New Mexico, the PRC agreed to reconsider its decision and plans to hold another public hearing about the issue June 13 in Socorro.
At stake is the PRC's decision about whether rural New Mexico throughout the eastern, western, southern and northern parts of the state will keep the Land of Enchantment's current "505" area code or switch to the proposed new "575" area code.
Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chase Gentry of Portales said he is concerned that while the current plan to switch central New Mexico to 575 involves only one local telephone provider, Qwest Communications, changing the rest of the state would mean changes for Qwest and 15 other telecommunications providers.
The Business Quarter of New Mexico, which represents nine communities in the southeastern part of the state, recently decided to take a stand against any attempt to force rural New Mexicans to switch to a new area code, largely because of the cost and logistics associated with making changes to 15 rural telephone service providers.
Gentry, who is mailing several hundred letters to area business leaders about the issue, said he and other rural New Mexicans who are tired of getting slighted on most state issues in favor of the Albuquerque-Santa Fe area saw the PRC's initial area code decision as a chance that "for once, we get the long end of the stick instead of the short end."
Clovis/Curry County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ernie Kos said she is organizing a contingent of eastern New Mexico residents to submit comments and attend the public hearing in Socorro to rally for rural New Mexico to keep the 505 area code.
"If you look at the 2000 Census, three of New Mexico's four most populous cities were Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Rio Rancho, and it's because of the state's growth that we need a new area code, so I think they should be the ones who pay for it," Kos said.
But Steve Metts of Clovis, who serves as president of the New Mexico Exchange Carrier Group that represents most of the state's phone service providers, said the telecommunications industry as a whole supports the concept of allowing the Albuquerque-Santa Fe-Los Alamos area to keep the existing 505 area code because of the number of phone customers in that area.
Metts said industry representatives considered the impact on customers more important than the smaller impact on all of the state's telecommunications providers because customers who have to switch area codes will face increased costs from having to change stationery, business cards and other related materials.
The state PRC said that for the area code issue, New Mexico was divided into two sections with approximately the same amount of population.
The PRC public hearing to reconsider who must switch area codes is scheduled for 10 a.m. MDT on June 13 in the Macey Center on the New Mexico Tech campus in Socorro.

Palestinians are asking a U.N. agency to designate parts of biblical Bethlehem as endangered world heritage sites.
Letters were sent to the global cultural organization UNESCO, saying the international community has a "legal and moral responsibility" to the sites.
Palestinians want recognition for the Church of the Nativity and a Bethlehem pilgrimage route, but UNESCO turned down the bid, saying it needs more work.
Some Israeli government officials have contended that the Palestinians' request is an effort to wipe out traces of Jewish history.
Christian denominations are opposed as well. A decision on the matter is expected this week.

Phoenix Bishop says Notre Dame prez "disobedient"
A remarkable development in the Obama-to-Notre Dame saga, via Thomas Peters, the "American Papist": BishopThomas Olmsted of Phoenix has sent Fr. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, an email saying his invitation to Obama to speak at the May 17 commencement and receive an honorary degree was "a public act of disobedience to US Bishops."Olmsted concludes: "I pray that you come to see the grave mistake of your decision, and the way it undercuts the Church's proclamation of the Gospel of Life in our day."Peters says he was given the email and permission to print it by Mike Phelan, Director of Marriage and Respect Life for the Diocese of Phoenix, who said:
"Due to the fact that the invitation by Notre Dame's president, Fr. John Jenkins, to President Barack Obama to give the commencement speech at Notre Dame's May graduation is a public act causing widespread public scandal due to the US President's clear support of policies which fail to protect and even attack innocent human life, Bishop Olmsted has given permission to release the attached email text publicly."
A screen shot of Olmsted's letter is below:

Is this how a bishop ought to register such a complaint? In public? Is this an attempt to embarrass the president of the University of Notre Dame? Presumably Bishop Olmsted has not sent a similar missive to Cardinal Egan, who invited then-candidate Obama to speak at the Al Smith Dinner in October.
Why is this remarkable, David? It seems pretty predictable to me.Whenever somebody (Obama) or something ("The Vagina Monologues") is slated to appear on the ND campus, it spawns a whole bunch of squabbles about what's appropriate for a Catholic college to host, and to what extent engaging with the larger world crosses a line and seems to be endorsing something that's not in line with Catholic teaching.Is this going to change any time soon? I don't think so, and this is the last of the threads on the ND/Obama event I plan to read.
I wonder what Bishop D'Arcy thinks of this letter? Maybe "turf war" is too strong a term, but this strikes me as not being much of Olmsted's business, as it has very little to do with the goings-on in his diocese. It especially seems not to warrant a public letter from him rebuking someone who isn't under his pastoral care.I understand the public nature of this invitation and the concern for public scandal, which Mike Phelan refers to. But it doesn't negate the fact that if anyone should do anything (and that if can be debated), it should be either D'Arcy or Jenkins' religious superiors.More in-fighting among the bishops, perhaps? Is Olmsted trying to make up for what he perceives to be D'Arcy's more squishy response? Pretty audacious, if you ask me.
I also oppose Notre Dame's honoring President Obama. But I am a little troubled by the quotation from "Catholics in Political Life" as I thought the document applied more to Catholic politicians who espouse views that run counter to Church teachings. Am I misreading the document?
Olmsted's letter is just one more nail in the coffin of episcopal credibility.Where was the uproar (i.e., from the reactionary ecclesial right) when Notre Dame honored George W. Bush?Truly, these bishops --- like their leader --- appear increasingly out of touch with reality. I've noted before that Benedict amazes me with his ability to continually outdo himself with outrageous statements and decisions. I can only imagine Olmsted, Burke, Vasa, and the like constantly vying to outdo one another in obesiance to the "Holy Father." With his episcopal appointments, a control-oriented JPII assured the continual decline of genuine episcopal leadership in the Church of Rome. The "birds" are coming home to roost.And the church is worse off for it.
. . . those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles . . . .How about "those who disagree with moral principles we hold to be fundamental and act according to their own understanding"?
How is this invitation an act of "disobedience"? "Catholics in Political Life" simply says that universities "should not" do this or that, not that they are forbidden from such activities. Semantics? Perhaps. But once you start throwing around words like disobedience, you invite these kinds of questions. Unless you are possessed of an inordinate amount of self-importance.
For the record: there are strong groups (nearing 4,000) on Facebook of alums in support of Jenkins' decision.Obama does not come as a representative of the Catholic Church; Bush, when he spoke in 2001, did not either. It's basic parity. It's also basic to the life of the mind. This hysteria is self-serving, as though the authors of it can be sure that they are not complicit in any sin for having shouted loudest. I continue to be unclear as to why there was not similar outrage when Bush (author of Guantanamo, two unjust and church-opposed wars, repealing of environmental standards, etc., etc.) spoke. The end of our faith isn't politics and it isn't the U.S. and it isn't noise. It's God.
I'd just also note that Catholics United has a petition from ND alums asking support for Fr. Jenkins against these "extremist groups."More divisiveness in the name of standing up for truth just hurts the Church more and more -Maria's got it right!
The appropriate response to this letter? Yawwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Suggested headline for the New York Post or any other tabloid wanting to cover this story:Catholic Church: "Obama Evil!"
George Bush spoke in May, 2001. Maria's argument is not relevant.Since Father Jenkins is a good and Holy priest who respects the Dignity of Human Life and God's intention for Marriage and the Family, I believe he approved of the invitation only because he thought he may be able to help President Obama understand these Truths of our Catholic Faith.Truth is not divisive. It is not standing up for Truth that is divisive.
I assume everyone agrees that the bishops have no practical or effective control over ND. It's legally and financially independent of the episcopy (or even the Holy Cross order), true?That being the case, it makes me wonder, which is better: for the bishops to concede that there are areas of church governance over which they have no control, and to bite their tongues, but while retaining some semblance of their aura of unity and omnipotence;Or, to wage a feisty but losing battle that shows that they mean what they teach, even when they have no effective way of enforcing it?The former perpetuates the notion of bishop as power-broker, a very traditional American image. The bishop as insider, counselor to kings - high priest, if you will.The latter has the unfortunate side effect of portraying the bishop as ineffectual and powerless, but the virtue of speaking the truth (as they see it). Bishop as prophet. Which do we want - high priest or prophet? It seems that the American bishops have been casting themselves more in the prophetic role lately. Perhaps they will adopt the camel-hair-and-leather look (kind of like Adam on American Idol) and locusts will be the featured dish at their next conference dinner.
Regarding the huffington post and the so called Republic "right "wing conspiracy, long before there existed a Democrat or Republican Party, God created Human Life, for "God alone is the Lord of Life from its beginning until its end." -ccc,no.2258
Bishop Olmstead's criticizm seems to have the underlying assumption that there is an obligation to obey the USCCB in all cases. With respect to the bishop, this is not correct.Catholics have an obligation to obey authentic teachings. The USCCB, however, is incapable of authentically teaching by itself except if it is unanimous. If memory serves, the 2004 statement he quotes was not unanimous. I'd be happy to be corrected on that, though.
Paul, I'm not sure that the rule of thumb you cite applies to all church matters. There are some areas where the national conference has jurisdiction, and a unanimous approval isn't necessary, e.g. certain liturgical responsibilities. To what extent a national conference would have control over Catholic universities I'm not sure - but I assume that the universities have a lot of leeway. I'd think that Ex Corde Ecclesiae would be a place to check on it.
Jim, I'm making a distinction between the episcopal conference's authority to make law (which it has in matters delegated to them under universal canon law) and its authentic teaching authority (which it has only unanimously or with Papal approval). Or so says John Paul II:When the doctrinal declarations of Episcopal Conferences are approved unanimously, they may certainly be issued in the name of the Conferences themselves, and the faithful are obliged to adhere with a sense of religious respect to that authentic magisterium of their own Bishops. However, if this unanimity is lacking, a majority alone of the Bishops of a Conference cannot issue a declaration as authentic teaching of the Conference to which all the faithful of the territory would have to adhere, unless it obtains the recognitio of the Apostolic See, which will not give it if the majority requesting it is not substantial. The intervention of the Apostolic See is analogous to that required by the law in order for the Episcopal Conference to issue general decrees.John Paul II, Apostolic Letter motu proprio Apostolos suos 22 (1998).
Jim, a few more thoughts. I do not think anyone can make the argument that the 2004 statement is normative, or that the bishop's conference was canonically authorized to make that statement normative. If someone makes the argument that the conference had been delegated that authority, they would need to quote the law so authorizing.For example, one can quote canon 283 as the authority for the bishop's conference to regulate clerical attire, and canon 838 3 as the authority for the bishop's conference to prepare vernacular translations of the liturgy.Neither the code, or anywhere else in the law, gives the bishop's conference the authority to make law regarding Catholics in Political Life, though I'd be happy to be corrected on this one.My argument is that Catholics in Political Life was a teaching, and while I think it should be respected, it is to be respected on its own merits and not on the authenticity of the USCCB which, according to the Pope, does not exist here to lack of unanimity.Just to clarify, my concern is Bishop Olmstead's assertion that Father Jenkins disobeyed hierarchical authority. It is possible that Father Jenkins did not do the right thing, but he is not guilty of disobeying hierarchical authority at least with respect to the USCCB for the simple matter that it did not have it in this case.
That first canon should be 284, not 283, by the way.
Bishop Olmstead doesn't have enough to do in his diocese apparently. Why he would weigh in with the President of Notre Dame when there is no apparent jurisdictional or personal connection. Look like a case of ecclesiastical overreach to me! The bishops are becoming more of side show jockeying around this issue. It's just too bad they don't know how to be leaders in the Church. Perhaps as they shut down vibrant parishes in the name of reconfiguration, we laity ought to form some commissions to "reconfigure" and "consolidate" chanceries and give many of them a chance for another job.
In my experience Irish and French and Japanese bishops are humble -- humbled -- men. American bishops seem to be a different breed, especially the Bush-worshipers among them.Obama should tell Notre Dame to get lost. He should refuse to appear in a venue that is likely to make him look ridiculous, and even expose him to danger from crazed Catholic rightists.
There is a very interesting take on the ND-Obama controversy by student Andrew Nesi in the (March 26, 2009) issue of The ND paper The Observer Obama, protesters and my graduation At one point he says:On both sides, this is Notre Dame at her best - actively navigating the place of the Church in education, and the role of religion in a world too often ignorant of its extraordinary power for good and for evil.The article can be seen at: http://media.www.ndsmcobserver.com/media/storage/paper660/news/2009/03/2... hope Bishop Olmstead reads it.
I worry about all of the thousands and thousands of potential converts who hear comments like these from clergy and think, "There is no place for me in the Body of Christ. I am not welcome. The Good News is not for me." For 41 years I was one of them, but through grace, by witness of lives well lived, I will come home at the Easter vigil. It wasn't public criticism and intimidation that brought me home. It was love. I pray that the Bishop will continue to have his heart changed as grace continues to change mine.
"Just to clarify, my concern is Bishop Olmsteads assertion that Father Jenkins disobeyed hierarchical authority. It is possible that Father Jenkins did not do the right thing, but he is not guilty of disobeying hierarchical authority at least with respect to the USCCB for the simple matter that it did not have it in this case."... and just so I am clear, I do agree with you. I also thought "disobedient" was overly strong, and am glad you commented on it.My train of thought is along these lines: I am familiar with what Apostolos Suos stated, and it was in the back of my mind when I raised the question. The portion you quoted pertains to doctrinal declarations. Implicit in my comments (which I'll now make explicit) is the question of whether Catholics in Political Life would qualify as a doctrinal declaration. My assumption is that it is a statement of church discipline, not a doctrinal declaration. That is why I'm not certain that what Apostolos suos said would apply in this case.If I am right in this, it still leaves unanswered the question, 'What authority does the national conference have to direct a Catholic university?'I took a few moments to consult Ex Corde Ecclesiae, so I'll hazard a suggestion: in the General Norms section of the document, Article 5 concerns "The Catholic University Within the Church". #2 within that article states, "Each Bishop has a responsibility to promote the welfare of the Catholic Universities in his diocese and has the right and duty to watch over the preservation and strengthening of their Catholic character. If problems should arise conceming this Catholic character, the local Bishop is to take the initiatives necessary to resolve the matter, working with the competent university authorities in accordance with established procedures(52) and, if necessary, with the help of the Holy See." Footnote 52 in turn states, "52 For Universities to which Article 3 1 and 2 refer, these procedures are to be established in the university statutes approved by the competent ecclesiastical Authority; for other Catholic Universities, they are to be determined by Episcopal Conferences or other Assemblies of Catholic Hierarchy." I'm not completely clear on all of the juridical distinctions here, but I believe that Notre Dame would be classified as one of the "other Catholic Universities" in footnote 52. If that is so, then it seems that both the local bishop (which would be Bishop D'Arcy) and the Episcopal Conference (i.e. the USCCB) - and indeed the Holy See - does have some authority over the university if "problems should arise" concerning the university's "Catholic character". The Catholic character of the university, istm, is at the heart of this dispute over President Obama's appearance.I don't think this means that the local bishop and the national conference can ride roughshod over Notre Dame. Ex Corde Ecclesiae seems to contemplate that the national conference will take the general norms expounded into the document, and apply them via local norms that make sense for an American Catholic university; and that Notre Dame incorporate those local norms into its charter. Whether any of that applying and incorporating has formally taken place, I don't know. Perhaps the relevant portion of "Catholics in Political Life" could be considered such an application of the general norms, though.
"Perhaps as they shut down vibrant parishes in the name of reconfiguration, we laity ought to form some commissions to reconfigure and consolidate chanceries and give many of them a chance for another job." Bishops are pastors by identity and history. They should oversee, supervise (definition of bishop) a few parishes and tend work to build up the faithful. Large dioceses are monarchical, anti-gospel, unwieldy and temptations to grandeur. The present setup is theologically and scripturall incorrect and inauthentic.Constantine made them Lords and the church has not recovered since. Now is a good time. The paishes need help and the administrators (bishops) are lost.
Jim, I think you may have a point regarding universities established by private persons or groups under art. 3 3 (i.e. Ave Maria University). An argument could be made that the episcopal conference would have more authority to regulate them than the universities established by dioceses or by religious institutes.Notre Dame, though, is a university established by a religious institute, so it would fall under art. 3 2, not 3. According to the footnote you cite, issues regarding its catholicity would be resolved by its own statutes, not by episcopal conference norms.

GENEVA (Reuters) - A "declaration of principles" that the Syrian government presented at a peace conference in Geneva on Monday fails to address the main objective of the talks, the opposition said.
"The declaration is outside the framework of Geneva, which centers on creating a transitional governing body. It fails to address the core issue," the opposition's chief negotiator Hadi al Bahra told Reuters.

For example, if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, a spa hotel may be the perfect choice for you.

If you're traveling with the kiddos, a family friendly hotel will offer larger rooms and more sleeping arrangements.

How might hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) be treated?
Treatment of nosebleeds with humidification and nasal lubricants, laser ablation, septal dermoplasty, or estrogen-progesterone therapy can prevent anemia and allow individuals with HHT to pursue normal activities. In more severe cases, coagulation therapy may be needed.[1][2]
Individuals with GI bleeding are treated with iron therapy to maintain hemoglobin concentration; endoscopic application of a heater probe, bicap, or laser; surgical removal of bleeding sites; and estrogen-progesterone therapy. Iron replacement and red blood cell transfusions are used to treat anemia.[1][2]
Treatment of pulmonary AVMs is indicated for dyspnea, exercise intolerance, hypoxemia, and prevention of lung hemorrhage and the neurologic complications of brain abscess and stroke. Pulmonary AVMs with feeding vessels that exceed 1.0 mm in diameter require consideration of occlusion.[2] Preventive measures should be undertaken by those who have pulmonary AVMs, including antibiotics prior to dental or surgical procedures, the implementation of IV filters, avoidance of blood thinners and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and regular monitoring by a qualified medical professional.[1]
Cerebral AVMs greater than 1.0 cm in diameter are usually treated by surgery, embolotherapy, and/or stereotactic radiosurgery.[1][2] Liver AVMs are currently treated only if a patient shows signs of heart failure or other significant health problems. Treatments might include liver transplantation or medications like bevacizumab.[1]
Surveillance includes annual evaluations for anemia and neurologic conditions and re-evaluation for pulmonary AVMs every one to two years during childhood and every five years thereafter. Women with HHT considering pregnancy are screened and treated for pulmonary AVMs; if pulmonary AVMs are discovered during pregnancy, they are treated during the second trimester.[2]

'Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball'
When the Brooklyn Dodgers recruited Jackie Robinson as the first black major league baseball player of the 20th century, the team's desire to win a pennant had as much to do with the decision as civil rights did. NPR's Scott Simon, who has just written a book on Robinson's milestone, discusses the legendary player on Morning Edition.

text: Posted January 31, 2013 I watched Wagner a few times and he doesnt really make a lot of splash plays like Luke to me, just racks up tackles. Falcons were one of the worst teams running the ball this year and Seattle got gashed by them. I think Luke prevents some of those big runs in that game if he is playing. Just an example. I noticed he comes off the field in nickel/dime so he has some coverage issues whereas Luke has become a 3-down backer, which should be in his advantage.

I'm gratified to see from the site poll to date that Nick Smith rates as odiously with others as he does with me.
It's not just his unprincipled bleating about the RMA and what he actually proposes to fix it, ie., nothing; it's that this is the same approach he takes to everything.
Take for example the forced training regime imposed on early childhood education teachers, first by Nick Smith when he was Minister, and thence ratcheted up further by Trevor Mallard when he took up the ministerial reins. I suggested when introduced this regime would be a disaster, and so they have been -- unless that is your aim was to limit choice, close down private centres, drive experienced teachers from the industry, and achieve complete state control over a once-independent sector.
If that was the aim, then the policy introduced by Smith and followed through by Mallard is a great success.
You can see why I'm pleased with the poll results so far. What a repellent pair.

Please help ,it's driving me crazy...
I'm using this code to load wordpress menu:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu' ) ); ?>
How can i define the ul tags a class, for example:

You should look at the codes page for wp_nav_menu(). You'll find the answer there.
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu', 'menu_class' => 'mymenu' ) ); ?>
but this code doesn't do it..
what you sent me give me that:

and i want to give class to the ul tag

Please help =)!
Are you using a custom nenu, or the default WordPress generated menu? From what I've seen this only works when using a custom menu that you've created (not sure if that's a bug or a "feature").
what does it mean custom menu?
I've started to design a theme from a blank template, and I'm trying to style my navigation...
A custom menu is when you go into the 'Appearance -> Menus' area, create a menu there and assign it to your chosen menu area. It doesn't sound like you've done that, so I would say that you haven't got that set up. Like I said, from what I've seen, the menu_class doesn't work on the standard WP menus for some reason. I don't know why, but that's jsut how it is.
If you need to make changes to this I'd suggest wrapping the menu in a

 tag and using that to define the styling. That way it will work no matter what the actual menu class is.
yes, it's custom menu!.. what next?
Well, you can either go through the options in the codex page that I linked to above, or you can do what I said before and wrap the menu in a div tag so you can use that tags ID's for styling, etc. That's pretty much what you're left with here.
well.. that i knew already
so there's not solution for this..
ok, Thanks anyway!
what does it matter if it's custom menu anyway?
Found a solution by chrisburton
If anyone would like to know how to define to ul tags a class:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' )); ?>
Working perfect!

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson works with an executive koala. He's rude though. He eats, shoots, and leaves.
The Charge
"Attack the koala and he'll get you back ten-fold."
Opening Statement
It's about a giant koala bear. Who's an executive. The term "WTF" was made precisely for this movie.
Facts of the Case
The aforementioned Executive Koala is one Mr. Tamura, an up-and-coming sales superstar in a pickle distribution company. He is well on his way to climbing to the top rung of the corporate ladder, and all the ladies in the office adore him, but there's something amiss in his life. For one, he doesn't know what happened to his beloved wife, who may or not have been murdered. Plus there's a detective after him, thinking he's the murderer.
Can that be possible? Does a dark, murderous heart beat beneath that cuddly, furry exterior?
The Evidence
Not really sure where to begin here. Seriously, if anyone has any ideas for an opening paragraph in a review about a Japanese movie about 6-foot-tall koala bear that sells pickles for a living, please e-mail it to me. I'll go into the database and fix the review.
This movie is as surreal and ridiculous as you would think—and great. So great. It's structured in an incredibly bizarre way, and just when you think you sort of have it figured out, director Minoru Kawasaki tweaks the story and makes it even weirder. By the time this thing ends in a giant two-on-one Korean kung fu match in an amusement park, there's an excellent chance you'll either be a) checking to see if your Pringles were laced with PCP, or b) sending out a mass e-mail to all your friends and loved ones telling them about the mind-obliterating awesomeness that you had just watched.
Let's break this thing down in its separate, wildly different parts so you know what to expect:
• Part 1: A Giant Koala Bear is an Executive
• Part 2: Killer Koala!
• Intermission
• Part 3: Koala in Prison
• Part 4: The Showdown
That synopsis doesn't really do justice to the wondrous weirdness that awaits you with this film but, if you're even slightly intrigued, go find this movie. I can't even begin to imagine the experience this would be with alcohol tossed into the mix.
Synapse coughs up yet another good DVD, with the film transferred nicely in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and pushed by a 2.0 stereo track (Japanese with English subtitles). Extras: a making-of featurette and a couple of trailers.
Closing Statement
Just a mind-blowing movie; Executive Koala escapes simple genre classification. All I know is, you really need to see this @#$%.
The Verdict
Not guilty. My brain is empty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Executive Koala a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

text: Hendrick's Gin is distilled in small batches and boasts a unique infusion of rose petals and cucumbers. It's one of our favorite gins, either straight up or in cocktails, so pairing rose water and cucumber in our latest recipe seemed like an obvious choice. As a salute to elderflower, one of the many botanicals that makes Hendrick's so special, we also added St. Germain. Finally, a pinch of ground cardamom that slowly cascades to the bottom of the glass complements this drink perfectly with its aromatic sweetness.

Flora 7 is the answer to IBS problems
Posted by kathie eckloff on 17th Mar 2014
Flora7 provided me with relief from bloating, gas, and all the problems commonly associated with irritable bowel syndrome. I am so glad I took the opportunity to try it out and now will not be without it. I had tried other probiotics and none provided me with the results I enjoy by taking Flora 7.
