The Secretary-General: Leading on Climate Change
Calling climate change "the defining issue of our time", the Secretary-General has made addressing climate change among his top priorities as UN Secretary-General and an important component of his Five Year Action Agenda. In his very first address to the General Assembly Hall as UN chief, the Secretary-General warned that the effects of climate change are being felt around the world, with poor populations suffering the most. To spur action, he has fought tirelessly to ensure that climate change stays at the top of the leaders' agendas. Mr. Ban has also launched a number of initiatives to fight climate change on the ground.
Moving the world forward
Under the leadership of the Secretary-General, governments have advanced international efforts to fight, mitigate and adapt to climate change.
At the Climate Conference (COP) in Cancun in 2010, governments adopted the Cancun agreements, forming the basis for the largest-ever collective effort to reduce both emissions and to address the long-term challenges of climate change, as well as to take concrete action now to step up the global response. The Cancun agreements include the most comprehensive package ever agreed by Governments to help developing nations deal with climate change, including through finance, technology and capacity-building support. Importantly, governments recognised developed countries' goal of mobilizing jointly USD100 billion per year by 2020 to address the needs of developing countries.
In Durban in 2011, governments made good on their promises in Cancun and again responded to the Secretary-General's call for action. The Durban Platform set the path towards a new legally binding agreement applicable to all; committed governments to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol; and launched the Green Climate Fund. Governments also enabled the establishment of a Technology Mechanism to promote access by developing countries to clean, low-carbon technologies, and an Adaptation Committee to coordinate adaptation activities on a global scale. They welcomed progress on the fast-start finance provided by developed countries as part of their commitment to provide new and additional resources approaching USD 30 billion for the period 2010–2012.
"As we convene here in Bali, the eyes of the world are upon us – this is a historic moment long in the making." – Ban Ki-moon, December 2007
These major steps in Cancun and Durban grew out of the pivotal 2007 COP in Bali – the first Climate Conference under the Secretary-General's leadership. In Bali, Parties focused on long-term issues, adopting a Roadmap to enable full, effective and sustained implementation of the Convention through long-term cooperative action. The resulting Bali Action Plan addresses the four key building blocks of the global response to climate change: mitigation, adaptation, technology and financing.
Action on the Ground
Progress at the global level must be coupled by action on the ground. While working to build consensus for action at the international level, the Secretary-General is also leading a number of initiatives that promote effective action at the local and national levels to tackle climate change.
In September 2011, the Secretary-General launched his Sustainable Energy for All initiative, to drive action and mobilize commitments to positively transform the world's energy systems. Sustainable Energy for All is working to achieve three objectives by 2030: universal energy access, doubling energy efficiency rate, and doubling renewable energy share. Over 60 countries have joined the initiative; tens of billions of dollars have been mobilized to advance its three objectives; and more than 150 specific commitments have been made by governments, donors, private sector and civil society organizations to support the initiative. More than one billion people will benefit from increased access to modern energy services, a number that will increase as additional public-private partnerships are formed.
The Secretary-General's Zero Hunger Challenge is working towards a future without hunger. However, our ability to ensure all people enjoy their right to food now and in the future is increasingly challenged by climate change, so the Zero Hunger Challenge is committed to making all food systems sustainable. Currently agriculture and food systems contribute to the production of greenhouse gases – but they can also be harnessed to mitigate the effects of climate change. The Challenge urges farmers, agribusinesses, cooperatives, governments, unions and civil society to: establish standards for sustainability and be accountable for their observance; encourage the universal adoption of sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture practices; pursue cross-sectoral policies; and implement the responsible governance of land, fisheries and forests.
The Secretary-General is actively leading by example, ensuring that the UN's operations are continuously monitored and improved—not just in terms of what the UN delivers, but how it delivers. This means "greening the blue", making the United Nations more efficient in its operations. The Secretary-General has committed to move the UN to a paperless office environment by 2015. The newly renovated UN Secretariat building, whose plans the Secretary-General approved, is more efficient and sustainable and is designed to reduce energy consumption by 50 per cent and cut by 45 per cent the UN's carbon footprint.
Face-to-Face with Climate Change
The Secretary-General has witnessed first-hand the impacts of climate change, from the North Pole to the rainforests of the Amazon to small Pacific Islands to Antarctica. In 2007, he was the first UN chief to visit Antarctica and Chilean Patagonia, bringing global attention to the effects of climate change on the world's largest wilderness. He has since visited the rainforests of the Amazon and has seen the retreating ice sheets in the Arctic Ocean. In 2011, the Secretary-General was the first UN Secretary-General to visit Kiribati, focusing the world's attention on this small Pacific island nation suffering on the climate frontline.
"Many countries are dealing with climate change. But here, climate change threatens your territory, your culture and your very way of life." – Ban Ki-moon, during his visit to Kiribati, September 2011.
The Secretary-General also speaks regularly on the issue of climate change at universities, think tanks and research institutes around the world, urging leading thinkers to play their part in addressing climate change.
Mobilizing Climate Finance
Addressing climate change – to both reduce greenhouse emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change – requires significant and stable financing. The Secretary-General has made climate change finance one of the priority areas for his second tenure. He is working with governments to meet their agreement to mobilize of US$ 100 billion per year by 2020 in new and additional finance, and is committed to helping operationalize the Green Climate Fund so that the Fund can play a major role in delivering long-term climate finance.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has been working with the private sector, which has the creativity and resources, to advance the role of business in addressing climate change.
"The business case for sustainability is strong and getting stronger." – Ban Ki-moon, December 2007
Financing for climate change is one of the top priorities of the Secretary-General's work. He encourages and urges investors to lend their support for climate change initiatives to provide solutions to climate-affected communities around the world.
Galvanizing the Private Sector
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has been working with the private sector, encouraging businesses to draw on their creativity and resources to address climate change.
In 2007, the Secretary-General launched "Caring for Climate," providing a framework for over 400 business leaders to advance practical solutions to climate change and help shape public policy, as well as public attitudes. Pledging to advance low-carbon solutions and bring the green economy to reality, from 2009-2010 the total carbon emissions for all Caring for Climate signatories was lower than the EU-15 group of large economies. Many Caring for Climate signatories have established themselves as climate champions within their organization and beyond.
Climate Change and Sustainable Development
Addressing climate change is critical to achieving sustainable development. Recognising this connection, the Secretary-General is committed to action that both advances sustainable development and tackles climate change. At the Rio+20 Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012, he called on world leaders to step up their political commitment to sustainability. Under the Secretary-General's leadership, Member States in Rio agreed to clear and practical measures for implementing sustainable development and addressing climate change, including by promoting more sustainable agriculture, enhancing resilience to climate change, improving energy efficiency, addressing ocean acidification, and enhancing strategies that integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into decision-making. Find out more about the voluntary commitments made at the Rio+20 Conference.
"Now, more than ever, we need to connect the dots between climate, poverty, energy, food and water. These issues cannot be addressed in isolation." – Ban Ki-moon, December 2010

I love Catalyst, but at one point I could not find it and I did not buy it again until I found it here @ F.net. I also like Provocative, similar in class.

I was seeking a green floral, and remembered sampling Catalyst many years ago when it first came out. The opening is quite green, the middle and bottom notes less so, but it is beautiful all the way through. There is such a springtime feel to this scent, especially in the beginning, then it morphs into a lovely floral blend with an undertone of green, then a warm, slightly spicy-woody ending (still with a bit of green). I may need to get back-up bottles so I won't ever have to go without Catalyst. The bottle is as beautiful as the scent. I can't believe what a bargain this winner is.

Catalyst is an uplifting floral fragrance, especially good for summer and spring. It has a sweet, warm fragrance, but needs to be applied with a light hand, because it can be too overpowering otherwise.

As the pair begin to tackle their second Super Rugby season, their re-signing is welcomed news for Hurricanes and Wellington Rugby CEO James Te Puni.
"This is fantastic for our region and the Hurricanes. Both are hardworking, dedicated young men who reflect the team culture we seek to create. They are great role models for aspiring Hurricanes," said Te Puni.
Shields, who successfully came back on the field in Mangatainoka after sustaining a knee injury last July, was thrilled to continue his career with the Canes.
"I'm stoked that I can play where I love and I can't see myself playing anywhere else. There is such an awesome team culture here and it is pretty special to be a part of it," Shields explained.
Shields has signed for the Hurricanes for the 2014 season and extended his Wellington Lions contract for 2013.
South African born prop, Goodes made an exciting start to his Super Rugby in 2012 and is looking forward to doing it all a second time around this year. Goodes will add to the hotly contested propping positions within the 2013 team.
"I'm very happy to have re-signed with the Lions and extend my Hurricanes contract to the end of 2014. It's an exciting two years ahead."

When I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, someone said brightly to me, "Well, at least you don't have cancer!" Others told me with naïve confidence, "You can beat this thing!" Another person remarked to my mother, "If anyone could do a good job with diabetes, it's Rachel! I'm too scared of needles." Not one of these comments, nor about ninety percent of the others I received, was helpful, encouraging, or beneficial.
While in the hospital for five days following my diagnosis, I received dozens of get well cards. Though their landscaped illustrations and well wishes were meant to encourage me, they did the exact opposite. I knew I wouldn't ever "get well" from diabetes. My disease has no cure. In fact, the brochures told me that if I weren't a perfect patient, I could expect to face the potential of blindness, limb amputation, heart problems, kidney failure, depression, sexual dysfunction, and much more. It wasn't as if I had had my tonsils removed and would spend a few days eating popsicles and watching movies before I would quickly recover and rejoin the real world.
Flowers were even worse. First, I'm allergic. Second, flowers are for funerals in my opinion. Third, they were a reminder of the world outside my hospital window that was carrying on as if nothing were wrong, while I lay hooked up to monitors and IVs, thinking about what the rest of my life looked like.
I realize that I was very angry at the time, and I believe that my well-wishers had good intentions. Most people just don't know what to do when a diagnosis occurs, so they often default to a card, a bouquet of lilies, or an offhand comment.
I believe that it's important to reflect on our diabetes journey and discover the lessons that were laid out for us after we were diagnosed. This concept has been on my mind a lot lately for one reason: Several people I know are facing a diagnosis. And I'm trying to figure out what the heck to do for them.
For example, a fellow adoptive mother of my acquaintance recently found out that her breast cancer has returned. On her Facebook page is a slew of messages, many of which say, "Let us know what we can do" followed by a smiley face. I find this type of message incredibly unhelpful. It's as if to say, "I don't really know what to do or say, and, in fact, I don't have time for you, but if I pretend to offer to be there, perhaps that will suffice." Instead, why aren't these people offering to babysit her son, bring pizza over, or escort her to a doctor's appointment?
When I arrived home from the hospital, I needed supervision and guidance. I was weak, exhausted, and mentally foggy. My mother-in-law took me to the grocery store and helped me read labels as I filled my cart with diabetes-friendly foods. She then helped me bake my first batch of cookies, all carefully measured and calculated. These two acts of kindness were not only practical, but very much appreciated. She helped me address needs and took it upon herself to learn right along with me.
My cousin, a father, husband, and professional salesperson, was diagnosed a few weeks ago with lymphoma. He lives three hundred miles from me, and honestly, I haven't decided what to do for him. A "get well" card seems insulting, a phone call might invade his privacy and be incredibly awkward, and a gift card for delivery pizza seems too simple. I'm considering writing him a letter of support that he can digest when or if he is ever ready.
My mother did the same for me. Throughout my diabetes journey, which has now been four years, she's sent me encouraging letters. I have appreciated these letters for a few reasons. One, I can process a letter in the peace and quiet of my home instead of facing a person who expects some sort of immediate response (crying? confession? thankfulness?). Two, these letters have come weeks, months, and years after my diagnosis. The majority of my "support" came within two weeks of my hospital stay. After that, my diabetes, which is with me forever, was ignored or forgotten.
A friend of mine who has multiple sclerosis is much like me. We are independent and confident in our diseases, or at least we appear to be. If someone leans in too close and whispers, "Are you OK?" or "How are you doing?" with their eyes wide open, we get annoyed. Although the person believes he or she is being sincere and helpful, the truth is, most coping is a solo journey and, oftentimes, a private journey. To know that others believe we need their pity, overabundant concern, or invasive and impromptu therapy sessions interferes with our process and progress.
What do you say and what do you do when someone you know learns of a life-altering diagnosis? I encourage you to consider the person's immediate needs and personality. Is a "get well" card really appropriate? Would flowers truly be appreciated over the offer to bring over a homemade meal? Is a "Go forth and beat cancer" comment more comforting than an evening of watching a sports game on television or a visit to the local coffee shop? Consider your own situation, and remember the day you were told that you had diabetes. What did people do or not do for you? What did you appreciate? What were you told that was discouraging?
When people have been informed that their life is about to drastically change, it is crucial to help them feel that they can deal with their diagnosis as they see fit. They aren't required to enjoy get well cards, sniff carefully arranged bouquets, or tearfully confess all of their fears at the drop of hat when asked, "How are you?" Each person and each diagnosis is different, and supporters should be equally unique in their responses. A little of your time and creative energy can go a long way with someone who is facing a daunting medical unknown and a crowd of status quo supporters who are here today, gone tomorrow.

Working with women's group in Burkina Faso, L'Occitane supports the women's cooperative year round whilst they grow, harvest and produce the shea butter which is used for these soaps. The women are pleased to be contributing to the work of ORBIS as it tackles the global issues of blindness prevention. The packaging and the name are a reflection of the origins and inspiration behind the product, rural life in Burkina Faso. ORBIS will begin providing eye care to these communities in Burkina Faso, in 2011, thanks to this further support from L'Occitane.
Funds raised previously have been donated to a rural eye care project in Bangladesh. Partnering with Islamia Eye Hospital in Dhaka, three eye hospitals and two vision centres are being built and staffed in three rural districts. This will provide eye care services to communities who previously had no access to eye care and will fulfill a need in the area.
ORBIS is proud to be part of such a fantastic initiative and thanks L'Occitane for its support.
If you would like to know more about how your company can support an ORBIS project like this one or participate in cause related marketing campaigns, please contact Karen Jaques on 020 7608 7266 or e-mail email@example.com

The Harrisong family lives in Normal, Illinois—but this loveably quirky family still has a hard time fitting in. Mr. and Mrs. Harrisong are financially challenged but rich in good intentions. While struggling to make ends meet, their homemade dresses and gaudy bargain-bin gift-wrap inadvertently provides the five Harrisong kids with plenty to blush about. Luckily, Clara, a 12-year-old budding artist, is too confidently optimistic to notice, and 8-year...

Recruits Predict Josiah Turner
This profile currently has no predictions.
Year | GP | Min | Pts | FG% | FT% | 3PT% | Ast | Reb | Blk | Stl |

Turner has decided to leave the Arizona program following an up and down freshman season.
Josiah Turner was Arizona's top recruit in 2011, ending his high school career as the No. 2 point guard recruit in the nation and 10th-best player overall. Turner began his high school career at Sacramento High School (Calif.) before transferring to Quality Education (N.C.) early in his senior season.
Turner has a strong handle and is poised to man the point guard position for Arizona in the year's ahead. He's averaging 7.1 points per game as a true freshman through Arizona's first 13 games. The Wildcats are looking for Turner to become a better distributor of the basketball while not losing his aggressiveness as a scorer.
Since being suspended for a game for violating team rules, Turner has really turned on the jets and taken more of a leadership role on the court. The true freshman has maintained his 7.0 scoring averaging while starting to contribute in more ways on the defensive end of the floor with steals, blocked shots and hustle plays.

I felt like I "deserved" a vacation: The thought of hanging back in the city, alone, while my friends frolicked on the beach had triggered my FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out, thus overpowering the logic that I should simply have said, "No, thanks."
I never thought of myself as a competitive person, until I realized I was constantly comparing myself to the women around me -- and coming up short.
Last Saturday, my wild evening pre-game was centered around sticking my paw into a bag of kale chips and licking the crumbs off my fist like a bear as my friends did shots.
I'm a confirmed extrovert who desperately needs some tips on becoming an introvert for the sake of my sanity (and everyone else's).

home > learning center > insights > insurance by state > alaska driver information
Welcome to our overview of Alaska driving. We've got the lowdown on everything you need to know about driving in the Last Frontier, from Off-Highway licenses to young driver requirements and the most stolen cars in Alaska.
Number of licensed drivers: 537,488
Registered vehicles: 932,411
Licensing and registration authority: Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
"Off-Highway" license Since the Last Frontier is home to rural communities not serviced by local Alaska DMVs, "Off-Highway" licenses are available for their residents. Drivers with an "Off-Highway" license can drive on roads that are not connected to the Alaska State Highway System.
Check with the DMV for more info on how to apply for an "Off-Highway" license.
Number of car and light truck fatalities in 2009: 40, the lowest of any state in the U.S.
Average commuting time to work: 18.1 minutes (national average: 25.2 minutes)
Gallons of fuel used in 2011: 297,565,661 (fewest of any state)
The state applies points for moving violations to a driver's official record. These points range from 2 to 10, depending on the severity of the violation. Getting 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months leads to a suspended drivers license.
Your driving record is a key factor in determining what you pay for car insurance. So the fewer points you have, the less you can expect to pay.
A DUI in Alaska is costly. Not only will it stay on a driver's official record for life, but the average DUI ends up costing the driver $24,265.
All drivers are banned from texting while driving in Alaska.
If you get into an accident resulting in injuries, death, or more than $500 in property damage, you'll have 15 days to report the accident and provide proof of insurance to the DMV. If you don't report these types of accidents within 15 days, penalties can include a 90-day license suspension.
If anyone is injured or you believe there could be more than $2,000 in property damage, call the local police department. If you're outside of a municipality, contact the Alaska State Troopers.
New residents of Alaska have 30 days to get their Alaska drivers licenses.
If you're in the state for 90 days (or fewer) and have a valid license from your home state, you don't need an Alaska drivers license.
If you're an active member of the military (or are married to one), your Alaska drivers license will automatically remain valid for as long as you're on duty. You and your spouse will have 90 days after your discharge or return to Alaska to renew your licenses.
See the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles' Provisional Licensing page for more info.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that the following cars were stolen most frequently in 2011:
In 2011, Anchorage and Fairbanks, the top 2 areas for car thefts, had fewer than 1,000 thefts combined.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Perhaps no team in the country needed a week off more than No. 12 South Carolina. Coach Steve Spurrier says after the time away his Gamecocks are refreshed and ready to finish the season in style.
That starts Saturday at home in South Carolina's first game since star tailback Marcus Lattimore's gruesome knee injury. The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) finish league play against up-and-down Arkansas (4-5, 2-3).
Spurrier says Lattimore had successful surgery Friday and is recuperating. The Gamecocks tailback is expected to attend the game and be honored for establishing school records with 41 career touchdowns and 38 rushing scores.
Senior Kenny Miles will start for Lattimore and Spurrier says his players know an at-large BCS berth is possible if they continue winning.

Each week I'll be looking at some favorable match-ups to help you grab a few extra steals for your fantasy team. Whether you are in a weekly or daily league, looking at weak defensive catchers and strong/aggressive base running teams may help you make decisions as to which players you should start or sit in your hunt for an edge in the stolen base category. Since the 2013 season is only a week old, I'll use some data from 2012 to get started and give you an idea of what we will be looking for. Just realize that these are only two dimensions that can affect stolen base totals.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Lou Marson
I usually like to wait a couple of months into the season to look at some of the catchers that couldn't throw out your grandma even if she loses the tennis balls off her walker. (What is the deal with those tennis balls? I feel like that's the kinda nonsense thing that would have a Facebook Fan Page. Everyone who likes tennis balls on walkers! Yay! BTW, what did people do before Facebook? Oh, yeah, Myspace. BTW II, The Return of BTW, is there anything sadder than getting an email from Friendster. Hey, come check out the new Friendster! Sure, as soon as I get on the internet with this dial-up modem.) Or some of the catchers that are quite agile — hey, it's Italian! I wait a few months because new catchers come into the league and I like to see a decent sample size — that's what she said! Anyway, here's some of the best and worst catchers for fantasy baseball:
The Bad
Jonathan Lucroy – Has only thrown out 6 baserunners out of 33. And he doesn't even get to try and throw out Prince Fielder. "Pretend 2nd base is a vegan muffin…Now run!"
John Jaso – 7 caught out of 35. And John Jaso Jingleheimer Schmidt doesn't have to try and throw out Upton.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Javier Vazquez touched you in your no-no area for two months to the point where just looking at his name made you crawl up into a ball and cry, but yesterday he flirted with a no-no for seven innings. He held the 1927 Blue Jays to only one hit, a home run by HGH Wells. (In a strange twist, Bautista didn't homer, but he did have sex with your wife. Don't shoot the messenger!) So can Javier Vazquez now be trusted? The better question is did anyone really think he was the 8 ERA pitcher he was showing in April and May? Come on, this is baseball. It's a sport of aberrations from day-to-day and week-to-week and month-to-month, but, in the end, people find their level. Vazquez is more or less a 4.50 ERA pitcher in the AL. So you need some months of dreckitude surrounded by some months of usability. Vazquez is still walking too many guys and, other than him striking out 9 Blue Kays yesterday and the Suckie-O's the game before, his Ks have been down. So usable, but don't expect a full return of 2009 Vazquez. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Mike Stanton – He's coming up on Tuesday. Can you hear that? It's my heart going pitter patter. Put your ear up to the computer monitor, you'll hear it.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Disgraceful List claimed two more yesterday, Josh Beckett and Grady Sizemore. Neither is a big surprise. Closest Grady Sizemore came to taking off this year was in his amateur Playgirl shoot. Even when he hit a home run, the rain washed it away. The Indians are talking about knee surgery for Grady. Turns out Tom Sizemore isn't the only Sizemore with a joint problem. I'd DL Sizemore until more news surfaces, but, if recent history is any indication, new news (stutter much?) will be bad news. As for Josh Beckett, I'm more optimistic. He can miss a few weeks, put this back injury behind him (literally!) and return. Will he be effective on his return? What, I'm Nostradumbass? I don't know, but it's possible he has a decent half season. I wouldn't trade for him, but I would pick him up off waivers and stash him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Psyche! Before I jump into the roundup, quick bit of business. No one likes to have to ask for shizz, but this voting thing at the Refresh Challenge is for a good cause. To up the stakes, we're donating a $100 gift card to Wal-Mart. All you have to do is vote and comment "Razzball" over at the voting site. The comment names will be chosen at random on Monday and the winner will be announced here. That link again is http://pep.si/abEtbm — Wow, I feel like George Clooney. Anyway II, here's the roundup:
Trevor Hoffman – Probably should be headed to the Disgraceful List but in the meantime the Brewers say he won't pitch for a few days while he works on his mechanics. Carlos Villanueva and Todd Coffey are the pickups, in that order. Or the reverse order if you're dyslexic.

Around the time of the demise of Jumo, the social network for nonprofits and activists started by Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, Betabeat got an email from a source intimately familiar with the social media startup sector. "I'm intrigued by the fact that Facebook doesn't seem to be proving to have the kind of second-act momentum among early employees that PayPal had, and I wonder why that is," the source wrote. "I don't have high hopes for Asana, Quora, or Path either, but maybe it's too early to make a judgment call."
With the rise of secondary trading, many Facebook employees have already cashed out. The company's hefty exodus of early employees has been well-documented. Sarah Lacy, writing for TechCrunch, identified the emergence of a "Facebook mafia" as "early and distinct" last year. But with the Facebook-spawned startups still unproven, is it fair to say that yet?
"There is no organized 'Facebook mafia,' although more and more former Facebook employees have either started their own companies, joined others or invested together with former colleagues in new ventures," former Facebook executive Netanel "Net" Jacobsson weighed in via email. "It's only natural, people who have been working together and know each other and also trust each others judgment regarding new opportunities, that they invest together = social proof. However, to the best of my knowledge there is nothing organized, but friends investing together from time to time."
The "PayPal mafia" describes the collective of PayPal co-founders and early employees including Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, Roelaf Botha, Keith Rabois, Reid Hoffman, and others, who Wikipedia says are "often credited with inspiring Web 2.0." The PayPal mafia invested in each others startups, founded little things like Yelp, LinkedIn and YouTube, and plunked down bucks in promising companies like Flickr and Zynga. The nickname caught on after a 2007 article in Fortune magazine that featured several mafiosos dressed like gangsters.
Xooglers got the same moniker in 2007, three years after Google's IPO when their stock fully vested. But Google size's meant those connections were less apparent and more diffuse. Plus, as one purported Xoogler wrote on Quora, "Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in!!"
It may be too early to judge Facebook by the startups it's spawned just yet. Not everyone can be like Mr. Hoffman, who served as PayPal's executive vice president when the company was sold to eBay in 2002 . . . then went on to found LinkedIn later that year.
Facebook has an IPO coming up shortly, after which we'll surely see more from early employees. Academic and entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa told the Mercury News that the coming flood of capital from "hundreds of millionaires who can fund thousands of startups" might even offset any potential downturn in the overall VC market. Tim Kendall, Facebook's former director of monetization, thinks Facebook employees may be more entrepreneurial. After a year or so of advising and investing in young companies, Mr. Kendall, who left the company in late 2010, is itching for another taste of the startup life. "[Facebook employees] want to be in the trenches; we don't want to be on the sidelines, writing checks," he told peHUB yesterday.
With a little digging, we realized there is already evidence of a syndicate: a few high-profile startups founded by ex-Facebookers, copious cross-investments, at least one inter-Facebook marriage, and some stealth projects that could be the next big thing. For every few employees who now boasts titles like "Baggage Handler at Traveling" or "Chief Mom Officer at Deitch Family," on LinkedIn, there's an budding venture capitalist. Meanwhile, former Facebook engineers lying low find their careers pored over on Quora. It's no wonder some of them have run from the scrutiny and turned off the messaging function on LinkedIn.
"Despite its size, Facebook is still just at the start of the cycle of spawning new startups," Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, who left to co-found the task management software startup Asana, wrote in an email to Betabeat well before the company's S-1 filing. "Asana is an early example, but the Facebook network will produce a lot of compelling companies. Smart people, unique experience, and access to capital is a powerful combination."
But with the IPO looming, we thought now would be the perfect time to look at where Facebook's early employees—Zuck's chosen ones, and those lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time—landed next. -Adrianne Jeffries

Liberty Square. Tents pitched in front of corporate offices. Shouts proclaiming, "We are the 99 percent!"
Hundreds of peaceful protestors currently gather in the financial districts of cities across the globe in support of narrowing the gap between the wealthy and the poor. With more than 1,500 cities worldwide and more than 20,000 protesters and counting, the Occupy movement is spreading fast.
However, will violence corrupt the protests, and, if so, does this violate America's Constitution?
Occupy Wall Street (whose unofficial website is occupywallst.org) is a people-powered movement that began Sept. 17 in Liberty Square in Manhattan's Financial District. Inspired by the recent movements in Egypt and Tunisia, OWS' mission is to fight against the financial powerhouses of the world.
OWS claims that the richest 1 percent of the population controls the "inferior" 99 percent and creates social injustice among the world's economy. The movement seeks to expose and oppose the rich.
Although the First Amendment of the United States Constitution represents free speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly, some seek to terminate the protests of OWS. Many political figures attack the demonstrators for being "lazy." Former New York City mayor Rudy Guliani told Fox News that the demonstrators should "occupy a job" instead of Wall Street.
According to CNBC writer John Carney, the protests are "hurting the economy" by "supporting anti-housing." Some who are participating stay camped out on the streets. The homeless have taken interest in the protests, and, in many cases, have found a place to call home. Fellow protestors aid these people, providing them with food and shelter until they can get back on their feet.

L'Oréal's success is built on a strong foundation. The world's largest beauty products company, it creates cosmetics, perfume, and hair and skin care items. Its brands include L'Oréal Paris and Maybelline (mass-market), Lancôme (luxury), and Redken and SoftSheen/Carson (retail and salon). L'Oréal, which owns Dallas-based SkinCeuticals, also conducts cosmetology and dermatology research. With more than 50% of sales generated outside Europe, L'Oréal has focused on acquiring brands in those markets. L'Oréal also owns the UK-based natural cosmetics retailer The Body Shop International, which numbers some 2,550 stores worldwide. The firm's dermatology branch Galderma is a joint venture between L'Oréal and Nestlé.
L'Oréal's cosmetics branch generates more than 90% of its revenue and is organized into four divisions: Professional (salon hair care); Consumer (hair and skin care, makeup); Luxury (beauty products, fragrances); and Active Cosmetics (dermo-cosmetic products). In 2010 sales of the company's cosmetics increased by about 6% (at constant exchange rates) vs. 2009, after posting a essentially flat comparison in 2009 vs. 2008. The Body Shop's sales fell by about 1% in 2010, while L'Oréal's detmatology unit saw sales increase by about 16%. New markets, which includes Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, and India, all enjoyed double-digit growth. Emerging markets, particularly in Asia and Latin America, are a key growth aveneue for the Paris-based cosmetics giant, which sells its products in some 130 countries worldwide.
In recent years, the firm has been expanding its professional division. To that end, in 2009 L'Oréal acquired three regional US distributors of professional products to salons: Idaho Barber and Beauty Supply in the North West, and Maly's Midwest, and Marshall Salon Services, which both operate in the Midwest. Also in the US, in April 2010 the firm agreed to acquire Essie Cosmetics, a maker of nail polish sold in salons and spas. The purchase will enable L'Oréal to boost its presence in the nail care market.
The French cosmetics giant is also expanding internationally. It tapped into the growing Turkish hair care market with its purchase of Canan in early 2008. (Founded in 1981, Canan generated about €26 million in 2006 and makes the Ipek brand, which is distributed in mass-market and retail outlets throughout Turkey.) L'Oréal has also enlisted the Indian actress Freida Pin (who appeared in Slumdog Millionaire) as a spokeswoman, hoping to gain traction in the Indian market. L'Oréal has set a target of increasing its customer base from 1.2 billion to 2.5 billion, with much of that growth coming from India and elsewhere outside Europe.
Consumer brands, such as GARNIER, L'Oréal, Maybelline, and Softsheen/Carson contribute more than half of the company's cosmetic sales. However, its well-known luxury brands, which are sold at department store cosmetic counters, perfumeries, and L'Oréal's own boutiques contribute about a quarter of cosmetics sales and continue to gain in popularity. Luxury brands, including Kiehl's, Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, and Giorgio Armani, continue to gain popularity. To maintain its momentum in the luxury sector, L'Oreal in mid-2008 paid compatriot PPR more than $2 billion to acquire the rights to the Yves Saint Laurent, Boucheron, Stella McCartney, and Oscar de la Renta fragrance and cosmetics brands, among others.
L'Oréal expanded its Active Cosmetics division (with existing brands Vichy, La Roche-Posay, and Inneov) by folding SkinCeuticals into the operation. Buying SkinCeuticals has opened doors for the company in the dermatology arena, which caters to high-end spas and plastic surgeons. The purchase builds on previous acquisitions, such as Sara Lee Corporation's sun care brand Delial and Sanoflore, maker of certified organic cosmetics. L'Oréal derives only about 3% of its sales from dermatology subsidiaries, including Galderma (dermatology products) and Sanofi (French pharmaceuticals group). The company also has formed The Laboratories Inneov with Nestlé to develop diet supplements for skin care, hair care, and nail care.
Liliane Bettencourt, director and daughter of founder Eugène Schueller, is L'Oréal's primary stockholder and the world's second-richest woman. She and her family own about 27% of the company's shares, while Nestlé owns 26%. The Bettencourts and Nestlé have been indirect owners of L'Oréal through the Gesparal SA holding company for some 30 years. (Gesparal was merged into L'Oréal in 2004.) In early 2009 both parties became able to sell their shares for the first time since 2004, which led to speculation that Nestlé may attempt to take over L'Oréal. Further fueling suspicion has been a deepening estrangement between Bettencourt and her only daughter as well as a scandal that points to Bettencourt and her advisers for massive tax evasion and alleged illegal contributions to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Nevertheless, the 89-year-old Bettencourt in April 2011 was re-elected to the board for a four-year term. She has said that she is keen to resist advances from suitors, such as Nestlé.

Six places to store your files online
This is a look at the pros and cons of six different online storage solutions.
Since we saw the beta release of Windows Live Folders a couple of days ago, I thought that now would be a good time to take a look at the different online storage solutions that are out there now. So, without further ado here are six places to store your files online.
Their Facebook application lets you upload files into a special shared folder in your Box account from either the Box.net website or your Facebook page and share them with your friends, right in Facebook. It's good that they have features like this to keep people coming back because their storage limits are a little bit...limiting:
Free - 1 GB/10 GB of bandwidth/10MB file size limit
$80/yr - 5 GB/unlimited bandwidth/1 GB file size limit
$199/yr - 15 GB/unlimited bandwidth/1 GB file size
1 gig of storage space for free gives you a little bit to work with and you probably won't run into the 10 GB bandwidth limit, but my main concern is with the 10MB file size limit. While you should be able to upload most music to Box, aside from maybe Stairway, 10 MB is really limiting when it comes to video. The paid plans are also definitely on the high side for the amount of storage that you get for the price. Although there are other services out there with better price to storage ratios, the real value of Box.net lies with the additional features and services that it offers to compliment the storage.
The shot, seen above, is of Mozy's client application. Upon installation, Mozy checked off a bunch of folders that I might want to backup. One more click and a backup of those files was scheduled for the next time my computer was idle. Granted, I did a clean install of my operating system about a month ago, so I do not have a ton of stuff on my computer right now, the entire backup only took up 33% of my storage limit. Speaking of storage limits, here's how Mozy breaks it down:
Free - 2 GB
$55/yr - Unlimited space
Both of these packages come with unlimited bandwidth and no restrictions on file size. The $55 a year package for unlimited storage allows for the backup of only one computer, so don't think that you are going to be able to backup every computer in your house at this price.
Free - 1 GB/5 GB of bandwidth
$40/yr - 10 GB/20 GB of bandwidth
$99/yr - 25 GB/50 GB of bandwidth
$199/yr - 50 GB/100 GB of bandwidth
Omnidrive is a little bit on the low end as far as its free offering goes, but their paid offerings are priced competitively with the other services. For uploading, Omnidrive also offers the choice of a browser based tool or a standalone application for both Mac and PC. It also includes functionality for sharing with other Omnidrive users and also for making files publicly downloadable.
Amazon S3
$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB - all data transfer in
$0.18 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out
$0.16 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out
$0.13 per GB - data transfer out / month over 50 TB
The pricing may look a bit daunting, but it is really pretty simple. The concept is that you only pay for what you use. Why pay for 50 GB when you are only going to use 45? Amazon is hoping that people will see the upside of flexible pricing and start storing their data with them. The other benefit to going with someone like Amazon is that they are really reliable and fast. So, when that crucial moment hits and you absolutely need a file, it is almost guaranteed that Amazon will be there to serve it up.
Windows Live Folders
Windows Live Folders, currently in the early stages of beta, provides the least amount of storage of any of these services that I have gone through. The free package, which is the only package that they have for right now, gives you 500 MB of storage and a cap on file size, set at 50 MB.
Chris Jones, Corporate VP for Windows Live Experience Program Management is saying that 500 MB is enough for this service since it is built to store and share documents as opposed to music and video, despite one of the default folders created with new accounts being named "Music." Although Folders does include the standard sharing and publishing features that the other services do, there is little else there right now. Keep in mind that this is a beta product and that by the time it is released, we could see drastic changes. It's not that Folders is a bad service by any means, but I personally expect a lot more from Microsoft and their web services. I think that they have the talent and the resources to be able to compete with anyone in the industry, but they need to take a step back and see what the users really want.
When it comes down to figuring out which of these services are the best, I like to take a few things into consideration. First, I'll look at the amount of storage space/bandwidth/file size limit. Second, I have to consider the pricing. Finally, the make or break factor: features.AOL's Xdrive wins hands down in amount of storage offered. You really can't beat getting 5 GB of storage with unlimited bandwidth and no file size cap for free. Even the pricing for the paid plan is very reasonable. For pricing, I would have to say that I like Amazon's S3 the best. I really give them credit for going with a pricing structure that is completely different from any of their competitors. Although it is geared more towards developers, it would be really nice to see Amazon bring S3 into the mainstream. Who knows, maybe pay as you go is the next big thing. Finally, we come to features. Box.net wins the contest for best features in a landslide. None of the other services integrate sharing, widgets, a variety of access and uploading points, and third party application development anywhere near as well. Box.net's storage is on the low end, but as I said before, their innovative features and implementation more than make up for it.

Where is rue St Catherine's? I heard that that's where the best stereo stores are.
A Party Atmosphere
One hall leads seamlessly to the next, so that if you walk in a straight line, you will inevitably encounter every exhibitor room on the main floor. An escalator then leads down to larger convention rooms where we find popular Canadian dealers such as Audio Basics and Coup de Foudre, vinyl suppliers Aux 33 Tours, and familiar names such as Dynaudio, Simaudio, Sennheiser, and Sony. Just outside the Sony display is where I ran into SSI manager, Michel Plante. I expressed my enthusiasm for the show's intuitive layout.
"We wanted to create a party atmosphere," he told me, "to avoid a dry experience." Indeed, moving through the halls of SSI 2010 is similar to walking through a dance club, new music to be heard at every turn. I asked Plante if he was concerned about hindering the overall quality of sound due to music leaking from one room to the next.
"Nothing is perfect," he said, "but when we attempted to separate some exhibitors, they declined, preferring to be closer together." Presumably, the decision to bunch rooms together will keep show traffic high and ever-flowinga move that should make just about everyone happy.
In addition, the doors to exhibitors' rooms have been stamped with "Enter" labels, matching the color of their particular hall. "We wanted to encourage a warm, welcoming feeling," Plante said.
Mission accomplished, I'd say.
Being a Montrealer, I would say that the best stereo stores are not on St-Catherine's street. Take a look at the website of the following well known Montreal Hi-Fi stores: Coup de Foudre Audio, Filtronique and Fillion Electronique. PLease note that these stores might be closed due to the SSI show (they'll have rooms at the show). Good luck!
The hotel's layout should have been easy to figure out, yet I still managed to get lost on the very first day! :)BTW, I have a new camcorder and microphone set-up. This year's production of my SSI video should at the very least sound much better than the previous two years.This year, I'll be asking some on-camera questions to a few of the exhibitors in order to find out how everyone is doing business-wise, and what they believe will happen in the coming year. I would also like to record the point of view of the Stereophile staff if you all don't mind.Have a good show!
