Kathleen D. Wilkinson, Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association, today announced additional results of the Association's investigation into the qualifications of candidates for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas and candidates for Philadelphia Municipal Court in the May 21 primary election. The investigation was conducted by the Association's Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention.
Wilkinson noted that the list of "Recommended" and "Not Recommended" candidates announced today includes additional names of candidates whose investigations were completed since the original list of ratings was released by the Bar Association on April 2. The list announced today also removes the names of previously rated candidates who have withdrawn from the ballot since April 2.
"We invite people to learn about these candidate ratings by visiting our website at www.philadelphiabar.org," Wilkinson said. The Chancellor pointed out that the Association's Campaign for Qualified Judges has launched a banner that appears on the homepage of the Association's website. The banner contains a link to print the candidates' ratings so voters can bring the list to the polls. Wilkinson said the Association wants voters to know "not just who to vote for but why the judicial elections are so important and why we invest so much time and energy in reviewing and rating these candidates. This is the one place for voters to find a thorough, non-partisan, objective rating of the candidates."
The Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention is independent and non-partisan. It includes lawyers and non-lawyers. Among the members of the Commission are community leaders, officials including the Chief Public Defender, City Solicitor, and the President Judges of Common Pleas Court and Municipal Court, and representatives of minority legal groups and practice groups.
The ratings by the 30-member Judicial Commission follow extensive study and investigation by the Commission's own 120-member investigative division, which includes 30 non-lawyer members. Candidates found "Recommended" satisfied a cumulative review of criteria including qualifications such as legal ability, experience, integrity, temperament, community involvement and judgment. Complete details can be found at www.philadelphiabar.org.
"The Commission completed more than 35 evaluations of candidates for the nine open seats on Common Pleas Court and Municipal Court," said Commission Chair Teresa F. Sachs. "That is an enormous undertaking involving many hundreds of interviews by the investigative division and careful review, consideration and deliberation by the Commission."
Following is the updated list of ratings.
The following judicial candidates, listed alphabetically, were found "RECOMMENDED" for election to the Court of Common Pleas:
The following judicial candidates, listed alphabetically, were found "RECOMMENDED" for election to Municipal Court:
The following judicial candidates, listed alphabetically, were found "NOT RECOMMENDED" for election to the Court of Common Pleas:

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions asking us to recommend a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Programmers as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it." – gnat, GlenH7, MichaelT, Kilian Foth, StuperUser
For Hibernate, I can recommend Java Persistence with Hibernate. I found it very useful and thorough - it may be that others feel it's too dense, but if you are an SQL expert already, I don't think you will have any problem with it. |
For Tomcat, the official documentation is a good start. Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition is also worth a look. |

The College Station City Council on Thursday approved a plan to develop a Medical District anchored by the new Scott and White Hospital and the College Station Medical Center.
Planners would like to see more medical office parks, lofts and mixed urban residential areas complete with retail businesses.
It's a decades-long plan that would require an estimated 58- million dollars in infrastructure for new roads and sewer lines.
It would be funded in part by the city government, along with private development.

A local campaign being waged at community fairs and chambers of commerce has drawn the attention of Big Tobacco, Big Beer and a San Francisco billionaire fighting global warming.
Those interests may not claim Washington's 26th District as their home, but they are competing all the same to win votes in Gig Harbor, Port Orchard and Bremerton.
Out-of-state money is a big part of the funding that has fueled about $400,000 worth of independent spending in the state Senate race with seven weeks to go. The candidates, Rep. Jan Angel and Sen. Nathan Schlicher, have spent slightly more but with a much larger share of their contributions coming from within Washington.
The biggest players in the race from outside the Pacific Northwest include national Republican and Democratic groups, companies such as Altria Client Services and MillerCoors and, by far the largest contributor, California environmentalist Thomas Steyer.
"We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in an obscure legislative race in Washington state," said Susan Hutchison, the new chairwoman of the state Republican Party, which has been questioning Steyer's interest in Washington politics. "You just have to wonder."
Regarding the donors to the Republican effort, Hutchison's Democratic counterpart, Dwight Pelz, does more than wonder.
"The Koch brothers-ALEC axis out there has realized that by controlling statehouses they can get a lot done," Pelz said, referring to the American Legislative Exchange Council, which has ties to the industrialist Koch Brothers and many large corporations. "For example, they can gerrymander congressional districts and control the U.S. House."
Pelz said in a year without many elections nationally, national interests may be drawn to a race with big implications for power in Olympia.
Republicans rely on two Democrats to help them control the Senate. They would move closer to full control if Port Orchard Republican Angel unseated Gig Harbor Democrat Schlicher, who was appointed in January to replace Congress-bound Derek Kilmer.
Steyer founded a major hedge fund, but these days he spends all his time promoting the cause of clean energy through political, academic and charitable pursuits, said Matthew Lewis, a spokesman for Steyer's NextGen Climate Action Committee.
Steyer has contributed millions of dollars to the committee in recent months, directing it around the country. Lewis said the largest target is the governor's race in Virginia. Steyer puts his money where it can add "unique value" in connection with his cause, Lewis said.
In Washington, that includes $150,000 each for the committee targeting Angel, known as She's Changed PAC, and for Washington Conservation Voters, another contributor to She's Changed PAC.
Steyer's contribution to the anti-Angel group joins those from Washington labor unions and a national Democratic committee that gave $35,000.
On the most recent prominent vote related to global warming, Angel opposed a study of how Washington should meet its greenhouse-gas emission limits, while Schlicher supported it. Lewis didn't comment on that measure, but criticized Angel's record.
"She's taken votes that protect tax loopholes for big oil companies instead of funding for kids, classrooms," he said.
Angel voted against a Democratic plan this year to raise $900 million for schools by extending higher tax rates and closing or narrowing tax exemptions, including a break intended for mills that is now mostly used by the state's five oil refineries in Tacoma, Anacortes and near Ferndale. But she later voted for a compromise budget that added about $1 billion to basic education, less than Democrats had originally called for, while omitting those tax changes.
"She's adamant about not burdening families with more taxes," said her spokesman, Keith Schipper, who said it's not clear how she might have voted on the oil tax break by itself.
Taxes have been at issue in the race. Schlicher supported a change to the estate tax that eliminated an unintended exemption for married couples, hitting some of the wealthy estates retroactively. (Angel opposed the change.) Schlicher said it was needed to fund schools. The independent group has attacked him for joining with fellow Democrats on that and other tax measures, as well as for his positions on gun laws.
The main group attacking Schlicher is the Good Government Leadership Council, whose sole donor is Senate Republicans' committee, the Leadership Council.
The Leadership Council's biggest donor is a national Republican group that gave $75,000. Other out-of-state contributions include $15,500 from Altria Client Services and $10,000 from RAI Services Co., both offshoots of tobacco companies. The council also received $15,000 from MillerCoors and, closer to home, $20,000 from Portland-based Cambia Health Solutions.
Cambia, which operates Regence BlueShield in Washington and which gave the maximum amount to Angel, said through a spokeswoman that it gives regularly to the Leadership Council without intending the money for a specific race.
Altria, which also gave the maximum to Angel, directed an inquiry to the section of its website that lists campaign contributions, including tens of thousands of dollars the tobacco parent company gave to Washington groups and politicians last year when many more races were on the ballot.
Some out-of-state companies with ties to ALEC have helped the effort to elect Angel, who is ALEC's co-chairwoman for Washington.
The right-of-center group brings together business leaders and lawmakers from around the country. Its Private Enterprise Advisory Council includes a representative of Altria and has included one from Reynolds American, parent of RAI. (Liberal groups recently touted what they said was their success in persuading MillerCoors and other companies to cut ties to the group.) Angel's critics say some other donors have also been revealed as members of ALEC.
Bob Williams, a member of the council, said its discussions are strictly about policy. He's been involved with ALEC since 1978 when he was a state lawmaker in Washington.
"I've never heard them bring up any campaign," he said, "even when Gov. Walker of Wisconsin was under attack." He said it's more likely to be business groups in states that drive contributions.
ALEC crafts proposals intended for state legislatures, and Schlicher and Angel have sparred over how involved Angel has been with bringing the proposals to Washington.
Schlicher, at a candidate forum, claimed Angel's proposal this year to allow drug testing for some welfare recipients was so-called model legislation from ALEC. But his campaign has not provided evidence supporting the assertion, although it pointed to reports that the topic was discussed at an ALEC meeting.
At the same forum, Angel maintained she hadn't "brought any bill forward" that came from ALEC. But she did sign on to another lawmaker's proposal on climate change that is very similar to ALEC model legislation. Her spokesman said she hadn't knowingly signed on to any of the group's model bills.

Sebo Essential G1 9591AT Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Sebo Essential G1 9591AT Features and Benefits:
- Electronic Control
The Electronic Control is the brain of the SEBO essential G vacuums. It is equipped with warning systems and automatic shut-off capabilities that are designed to alert the user to machine problems such as clogs, full bag and brush obstructions. The Electronic Control will also tell you if you have the correct brush setting for optimum cleaning. - Perfect Function: Brush Action, Suction and Filtration
The brush removes the dirt and hair and moves it to the suction chamber. The strong airflow carries the debris to the three-layer filter bag. - The 3-Step Filtration System:
First, the three-layer, full-size filter bag collects the vast majority of the debris. Then, any remaining particles are collected by the hospital-grade micro-hygiene filter. Finally, the micro-exhaust filter cleans the exhaust air that the vacuum emits. - 3 Year Belt Guarantee:
The reinforced toothed belt on the SEBO essential G-Series vacuums will not slip or stretch resulting in a more efficient use of power and should last the life of the machine. - Intelligent Design
The SEBO design goes deeper than superficial styling. SEBO vacuum cleaners are built to work. They are easy to maintain and simple to use. Changing the filter bag is simple and clean - when the bag is sealed, no dust can escape. Removal and maintenance of the brush roller requires no tools! Double-size electrostatic exhaust filter for improved air quality. The entire machine is user friendly and can be disassembled in minutes (no tools are necessary). Finding and clearing blockages has never been easier.

Posted: 8:12 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010
By Jamie Dupree
With Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) pursuing a write-in candidacy after losing her primary, her Senate Republican colleagues may exact a measure of revenge today back in Washington, D.C.
While Murkowski is back in her home state, GOP Senators will meet behind closed doors to possibly vote on replacing Murkowski in the Senate Republican leadership, and whether to strip the Alaska Senator of her spot as the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy Committee.
That move comes amid the first polling from Alaska since Murkowski announced last Friday that she would try to reverse her primary defeat and run as a write-in candidate.
A Rasmussen poll found GOP nominee Joe Miller with a healthy lead over Murkowski, 47-27 percent. Democrat Scott McAdams trailed with 25 percent.
Murkowski's decision to conduct a write-in bid definitely aggravated some members of the Senate on the GOP side, who fear it could ultimately split enough votes that it might lead to a Democratic win in November.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell refused to tip his hand in public as to whether he wants Murkowski replaced on the Energy panel.
The likely choice will be to elevate Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) into the top slot. But will he stay there?
Well, let's not forget the lesson of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT).
When Lieberman decided to run as an Independent after losing the Democratic Primary in 2006, his colleagues were outraged. Some of them campaigned against him and a number raised money for his opponent, Ned Lamont.
But in the end, Lieberman won. Even more interesting was that he was the key 51st vote for Democrats to control the Senate, so they were forced to keep him, and forced to give him a committee chairmanship.
Hmmmm. What if Murkowski wins? And then, what if the Republicans win a net gain of 10 seats to grab a 51-49 edge in the Senate.
That would make Murkowski the Lieberman of the 2010 Elections. If she sided with the Democrats, the Dems would control the Senate at 50-50 with the vote of the Vice President.
Now, that scenario seems unlikely, but not many people would have put money on the Lieberman Scenario either.
So, while Payback is Hell, that street can run both ways.
We'll see what happens on November 2.

Hang tight!
Recipe by JTk364
"I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/8 teaspoon celery seeds
1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained
I did slightly brown the brats (for appearance sake) before simmering in the beer mixture. This was pretty good, but in the future, I would reduce the brown sugar to 1 tsp and maybe even throw the brats on the grill briefly to get some grill marks on them. In my opinion, the sauerkraut will yield 4 servings, not 6, particularly if you serve the brat on the top of it. Certainly was quick to make, and will be made again.
What an amazing recipe! I had everything I needed for beer brats but the buns, so I decided to make a casserole of sorts. The beer glaze is fabulous. I, like the author, was always looking for beer brats with more of a beer flavor, and this is definitely it! The only changes I made was omitting the onion powder for grilled onions and browning the brats for a few minutes. I also transferred everything to a foil pan and baked it for 10-15 mins. at 350 degrees to let the flavors meld a little. Served it with a little jalapeno mustard on the side and it was a huge hit with the guys that came over for football. Will file this one away for future use.

This was a hit with my guests, but I did make a couple of changes to it, which is why I felt it deserving of 4 rather than 5 stars. I skipped the brown sugar altogether as others had suggested, omitted the caraway seeds since I had none and in step #3, I added a big healthy squeeze of spicy brown mustard. Also, use a hearty beer, not a light beer, and you should let it sit open for awhile before cooking so it gets flat.
Terrific recipe. I made this recipe for a dinner party and all of my guests loved it!! I did make some changes to the recipe since I had to make it to serve 20 people. First, I did not find caraway seeds at the grocery store but the flavor turned out amazing without it. I also just browned the brats on a large skillet and transferred them to a baking dish with the beer sauce and baked them. In another baking dish, I added 2 large ladles of the beer sauce and the sauerkraut and baked it for 10 minutes. I just served the sauerkraut and brats together. The sauce was not thick like a syrup but it had a great consistency and it was delicious. Everyone raved about it and wanted seconds.
My family loved this!!! Very good- so easy to make!! I used exact recipe, no changes!! Will make this again very soon!! I did brown the brats.
I followed recipe except I did not crush the caraway seed and celery seed. This was outstanding!
found this recipe on Pintrest as my husband wanted brats and kraut for father's day. based on other reviews, browned them first, used real onion other than powder. No one here likes caraway, so left that out, but brats and kraut were so flavorful! Paired with my grandmother's German potato salad recipe and supper was a WINNER!!!! This recipe.....definately a keeper.
This is so simple, yet the flavor is wonderful. I'm made no changes and my family, even those who don't normally care for sauerkraut, love the blend of spices, sugar, and beer.

I was going to say Celine Dion, Village People and Kenny G, but then I figured I might be drummed off the board. Seriously, i agree with everyone here but I would add Johnny Cash (especially in his younger days...I just can't get into "Hurt" although I will admit it's powerful), Elvis, ZZ Top and John Fogerty by himself and with CCR. I have to say that in terms of pureness of voice, and obviously he's nowhere near rock or anything, is Nat King Cole. You want some good make-out music, play his love songs CD. Hot stuff!

gymnast who was the first American woman to win an individual Olympic gold medal in gymnastics. At the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Retton achieved perfect scores in her final two events to win a dramatic victory in the all-around exercises.
Retton began studying dance and acrobatics at age four, starting gymnastics training a year later. In 1983 she moved to Houston, Texas, to train with Bela Karolyi, who helped Retton develop a style that suited her compact, muscular frame. In contrast to the fluttering, balletic movements then popular in floor-event performance, Retton's revolutionary style exhibited speed, accuracy, and power and transformed women's gymnastics.
Retton was successful at major American and international tournaments during the early 1980s, becoming the first American to win the combined-events title at the Chunichi Cup in Japan (1983). At the 1984 U.S. national championships, she won first place in the vault, floor exercise, and all-around events. Later that year she made her Olympic debut.
In the all-around competition, Retton trailed the Romanian team's Ecaterina Szabo by 0.05 points going into the final rotation and needed a perfect score of 10 on the vault to win the gold. She executed the exceptionally difficult Tsukahara vaulta twisting layout back somersaultflawlessly, winning the gold. In addition, she led the U.S. women's team to a silver, its first medal since 1948, and won individual medals in the vault (silver), the uneven parallel bars (bronze), and the floor exercise (bronze).
Soon after the Los Angeles Games, Retton retired from competition and became a motivational speaker and a television commentator. In 1985 she became the first gymnast to be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.

It's an older home, with its quirks like squeaky floors and a leaky roof, but the biggest issues for DiFilippo are the lack of space and privacy. Now that this spunky physical education teacher has her first real job out of college, she'd like to start her professional life in a place of her own. She is thinking a condo would be best, since she's not big on yardwork or housekeeping. She wants to stay in the same area, which is close to her friends and her job.

MODEL MOMENT: For the first time in two years, models have replaced the usual celebrities on the cover of the new V magazine, which hits newsstands Nov. 8. The title went with four different covers to showcase the pretty faces, which include Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls; Daphne Groeneveld and Saskia de Brauw; Sui He and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, and Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Lindsey Wixson.
"It's a big moment of change in fashion. In some cases, you feel like it's the end of an era. I have been feeling this with cover subjects, and especially models," explained Carine Roitfeld, who styled the Terry Richardson-lensed covers. "These eight girls are unique, not one is like the other. Candice is the only blonde and blue-eyed of this new generation of supermodels. Joan is black, Sui He is Asian, Hanna is North African. It's their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion."
On Sunday, V will celebrate the issue with a Halloween party at the gay nightclub Escuelita, hosted by Richardson, Swanepoel, Smalls, Northwood-Blyth and He.

That game put the country on notice about how strong our conference is!
Love to see college basketball played at that high of a level.
Was a great game. Actually had a "flow" as basketball should (and used to), and wasn't marred by a whistle every 30 seconds. Have to applaud the officials. Thought they called a great game.
Still vote to get ride of the TV timeouts, but that's never going to happen... ever.
What an incredible game guys. (Ive been on Miami's typical end of being mediocre or worse for YEARS) Idk about you all, but I felt like I was nearing a heart attack for most of the game. Hairston was a machine, hand in bandages and all. Very impressive performance. Just came to say great game and good luck in the NCAA tourney. I'm just hoping we can play at a high level year in and out. Will hurt losing our Seniors. ACC will be doing heavy damage for sure in the tourney
Great game today Heels! You guys have a great team! Hairston played spectacular for being injured, you would have never known he was. I think the ACC can do some damage in this tournament.
Our Canes may never have another season like this again so its exciting for us to watch down here , I know UNC will be back on top very soon!

Two Tomball residents are squaring off in a bid to replace former Tomball City Councilman Rick Brown, who resigned recently, after moving out of the city.
Lori Ball and Chad Degges both signed up to replace Brown and the Tribune recently talked to the two candidates about the election, their views and their backgrounds.
Lori Ball
Ball was raised in Oklahoma and moved to Tomball about eight years ago, she said. She is a member of the Tomball Charter Review Committee, the Tomball Volunteer Fire Department Retention Committee and has been an ambassador for the Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce. She has also volunteered her time as a board member for the Tomball Redcat Football organization and as a chair for the Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's.
She and her husband Eric area both members of the Tomball Volunteer Fire Department. They have two sons. She currently works in the medical field.
"I've always wanted to run," Ball said. "Over the last few years I have seen the progress here and I want to be a part of it."
Ball said that she wants to serve on council because she sees a need that she believes she can fill.
"A lot of people have come to me and said that the city could be just a bit easier to work with on various situations and I agree," she said. "I want to make Tomball a place to do business, as well as raise a family."
She also said that she would like to see a different approach in the city's trash collection process.
"I would like to see whoever we award the next trash services contract to use receptacles instead of having bags out at the curb," she said.
Ball said she would support initiatives that bring more youth activities to Tomball, including a Boys & Girls Club type of organization.
"I want Tomball to be a place where my kids want to come back and raise their kids," she said.
Chad Degges
Degges is a mechanical engineer and owns Heat Transfer Specialties, Inc., working in the oil and gas industry. He has lived in Tomball since 2008 and was also a member of the
Tomball Charter Review Committee. He has been a member of the Tomball Board of Adjustments and is currently serving on the board for the Tomball Economic Development Corporation. Degges has also served on the Harris County Republican Committee as a precinct chair and has coached Tomball Little League for the last five years.
He has been married to his wife Jennifer for 17 years and they have three sons.
"We feel blessed to be a part of Tomball and I look forward to hopefully serving on city council," he said. "The growth we are going to experience will be significant and I want to do my part to help guide that."
Degges said that he believes that owning a business gives him a unique perspective that he can bring to city council.
"Owning a business gives you a certain appreciation for handling the taxpayers money," he said. "My experience with business, the Board of Adjustments and the Tomball Economic Development Corporation introduced me to the workings of the city and gave me a good front row seat to what is going on."
He went on to say that he believes local elections like this are important and the results can affect residents daily lives even more than what goes on in Washington D.C.
"If you ever wanted your vote to count, local elections are the place where they do," he said. "So many people don't bother to vote; so many times the difference is just 10 or 15 votes."
Early voting starts today, Jan. 6, while Election Day is Jan. 18. City hall is the polling station for both early voting and Election Day voting.
For more information visit www.tomballtx.gov.
Tomball has a new city councilman, following a special election Jan. 18 to fill the term of former councilman Rick Brown, who resigned after moving out of the city limits.
Chad Degges defeated Lori Ball with a whopping 68 percent of the total vote count. Only eight percent of registered voters within the city cast a ballot.
"I'm very excited to win," Degges said. "I am thankful for the great race as it was respectful and clean with a great opponent. I can't wait to begin representing the people of this city."
He said he is hopeful that the tone and positiveness exhibited by both himself and Ball during the campaign will prove as an example for future races.
"It has been a very positive experience as a whole," he said. 'It was a pleasant campaign and I am excited to move forward."
Degges said he has been keeping up with the issues currently before council, by attending the meetings for the past several months.
"There are several ongoing issues that I am aware of from being at the meetings, so I'll be able to be involved from the beginning," he said.
The low turnout was expected, Degges said, but he would like to see more residents get involved at a local level.
"I expected a turnout like this for a special election and I am thankful for those that did turn out," he said. "I am going to continue to reach out to my neighbors and people that I run into and let them know about the ways they can get involved."
Degges will officially be sworn in at a special Tomball city council meeting Jan. 27, at 5 p.m. Degges will serve the remaining two years left on Brown's term.

Who is Trond Grande, you ask? Well, he is perhaps the most knowledgeable individual in the world when it comes to the internal operations and strategies of Norway's $550 billion sovereign fund. He is currently the Deputy CEO and Chief of Staff of Norges Bank Investment Management. And, previously, he was the fund's Chief Risk Officer and Deputy COO. So if you want to learn something about the NBIM, this is the guy you need to talk to. And, lucky for us, Rupert Wright of The National did just that. So, without further ado, here are some 'deep thoughts' by Trond Grande:
On the rise of the Norwegian SWF: "You could say it all began for Norway when Phillips Petroleum found oil on Christmas Eve 1969; they had been drilling without success since the mid-1960s. The [border] line was drawn and much of the oil ended up on the Norwegian side. Throughout 1970s and 1980s most of the revenue was reinvested in the oil business. By the mid-1980s we realised the revenues might outweigh the investments and we might have net positive cash flow from these activities and it might even be so substantial we should try to set something aside, the idea being that these are fields that have been there for millions and millions of years and even though we are the generation that struck oil we shouldn't be the only ones to benefit. This idea for future generations came up, but also to save the economy from the classic "Dutch disease" of overheating. In 1991 the government passed a law to create a pension fund and in 1996 the first money came into the fund, 2bn a Norwegian krone (Dh1.36bn).
On the shifting investment strategies: "The question was: where do you put this money? There wasn't an investment strategy; they just put it in foreign government bonds and that expertise was in the central bank, which partly explains why we are here. Decision was taken to invest outside Norway and Norwegian currencies. In 1998 decision was taken to go into equities. A gradual expansion took place in small and medium-size companies, emerging markets, corporate bonds etc…We lean on the same classification as the FTSE. Not in frontier or African markets, but in developed and emerging markets, 47 different countries…In 2004 we moved to being a responsible investor – our goals are purely financial long term, but we take our investments on the premise that companies that are responsive to certain issues such as climate change and water management, we single them out as focus areas. When we invest we have a series of principles…By 2007 a decision was taken to increase equities from 40 to 60 per cent. As markets were falling, we were buying. About two thirds of equities we hold were bought during the crisis…[W]e are now allowed to invest 5 per cent in real estate. We now have 60 per cent in equities, 35 per cent in bonds and 5 per cent in real estate. It's our first venture into non-listed or private investment space. Everything else is public in well-regulated markets and exchange traded. We follow benchmarks decided by the finance ministry.
On the benefit from transparency: "Benefit creates legitimacy of the fund for the Norwegian people. It's a one-way street, once you say what you're doing, it's hard to backtrack. Are we too transparent? I don't think so but we are getting close. We are balancing that."
On the Financial Crisis: "2007 was a zero year. 2008 fund returned minus 23.4 per cent. That was a big loss. This caused a lot of debate. We were selling bonds to buy more equities, because that was part of our new strategy…I wouldn't say it was calm. There was a lot of debate, culminated in March '09, that was the bottom. March 11 annual report was released, lots of debate. There was a lot of criticism and suggestion that we sell equities and at least stop buying more. Having been through that stress test we are much stronger now. Because we are a long-term investor we can withstand short-term fluctuations. It could have been the end of the world, all the companies could have gone bust, but it wasn't likely that would happen."
Quite a fascinating interview. Kudos to The National (and NBIM) for making it happen.

"I feel if it would not have been for Mark Critz we never would have got it," she said. "By Mark not getting Mr. Murtha's seat there is little hope for us small communities."
Ralphton water problems are nothing new. Critz's predecessor and former boss, the late U.S. Rep. John Murtha, tried to bring good water to Ralphton when Critz was his district director.
"He continued Mr. Murtha's work," she said. "He saw that the county commissioners got the grants. He worked with the water people."
Caldrone, who has met Critz, said that the congressmen knew from working for Murtha how important the water situation was.
"He's more like a hometown person," she said. "He was in for the people."
She said that even when Murtha was working on the project, she believes Critz was doing the legwork.
"He was in the job for the people," she said. "He's a unique man, a caring individual. He really does care how we feel."
Critz was always a cellphone call away on projects such as Ralphton, according to county Commissioner Pamela Tokar-Ickes. Tokar-Ickes met Critz in 2000 when she began her first term as county commissioner.
One particular phone call came in 2008 when the Route 219 project was about to lose federal funding because the state had not identified a $35 million match. Tokar-Ickes picked up the telephone and called Critz.
"That was an 11th hour call to try and assist our state legislators to make sure the $35 million would be allocated for the project," Tokar-Ickes said. "He's on my speed dial and he answers his phone. That's very refreshing."
Whether it was telephone calls for state funding as an aide or voting for the toll credit language changes this year, Critz has been supportive of the project, Commissioner John Vatavuk said.
Vatavuk said Critz's strength as a congressmen came from Murtha. Not only did he learn from Murtha but being on his staff allowed him to make contacts he kept when he became a lawmaker himself, he said.
"He probably dealt with more people than Murtha did as his director," he said.
Critz served as a staff member on the Somerset County Leadership Team, which works with the commissioners on issues, as a staff member and made sure his staff was represented on the team. Tokar-Ickes said Critz did a lot for the county that people do not know about. She said as a staff member Critz was an "unsung hero" to the county.
"That's what he continued to do as a congressman," she said. "Many of the things he did most people probably didn't know about."
Vatavuk met Critz in 1999 when Vatavuk ran for the state House and considers him a friend. Vatavuk said being a politician did not change Critz.
"Since he got elected he is still the same person," he said.
Part of being the same person is being concerned in infrastructure projects and knowing the value of a strong infasturecure in bringing growth to an area, he said.
Ed Sheehan, CEO of Concurrent Technologies Corp. in Johnstown, said Critz has not changed in the 18 years he has known him.

Transferring info from rooted phone to non-rooted tablet?
I have Titanium Backup Pro on a rooted LG S phone running Android 2.2.2. Just got an Acer A110 tablet w/Android 4.1.2. I would like to transfer my AB scores & game progress to the tablet, but so far there are no rooting programs for the A110. Additionally, the popular Angry Birds Backup from Sergio Patricio program does not function on Jelly Bean. Are there any means to accomplish this transfer? Thanks.

Important Mobile Banking Updates (1/13/13)
iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G |
iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G models will no longer be supported for future app updates. This release will not require mandatory application update; however, subsequent updates will result in the app no longer being usable for the 2G and 3G models. The mobile browser and text message channels are unaffected by this change and will remain accessible to customers with any iPhone model. |
Blackberry | The MCT Mobile Banking application will no longer be available for BlackBerry devices due to the significant decline of BlackBerry users. Users who have downloaded the app prior to January 13, 2013 will still be able to access the Mobile Banking icon but upon launch will be redirected to the mobile browser channel. These users will have the same functionality they have today with their BlackBerry, but they will have a slightly different user experience using the browser channel instead of the downloadable application. |

Adult Informed Consent Form
Title of Research Study: The Effects of Exercise Duration on Salivary Levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA)
Invitation to Participate
You are invited to participate in this research study. The following information is provided in order to help you make an informed decision whether or not to participate. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Basis for Subject Selection
You are eligible to participate because you are a healthy male between the ages of 19 and 29, who exercises less than three times per week.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of exercise duration (the length of time a person exercises) on salivary Immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentration. IgA is a substance that is found in the saliva that plays a role in preventing infection by viruses.
Explanation of Procedures
This study will take two weeks to complete during which you will be scheduled for four different exercise sessions in the University of Nebraska at Kearney Human Performance Lab. The following are the procedures you will undergo if you agree to participate in this study:
Health History Questionnaire:
You will complete a Health History Questionnaire during your first visit to the Human Performance Lab. The questionnaire, which will take about 15 minutes, will provide your health history including diagnoses of illness and/or medical problems, history of surgeries, use of over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs, allergies, personal health and exercise habits, and your family health history. Individuals who are potentially at risk associated with the exercise required in this research should not participate in this study, or they will be required to obtain a physician's clearance before participating.
Maximal Treadmill Test:
During your initial visit to the Human Performance Lab, the maximal treadmill test will be conducted in order to determine your maximal ability to perform aerobic exercise. This is based on the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygenduring incremental exercise (VO2max). Before the text begins you will be asked to sit quietly. Following several minutes of rest, your blood pressure will be measured, and a mouthpiece will be placed in your mouth in order to measure ventilation and the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the inhaled and exhaled air. VO2max is reached when oxygen consumption remains at a steady state despite the increase in workload. Your heart rate responses will be monitored by electrodes taped to your chest.
You will then begin walking on a motor driven treadmill. At the start of the test the treadmill speed will be a slow (4 mph), and you will walk on a level surface. Every three minutes the speed will be increased 1 mph up to 9 mph. When you reach a speed of 9 mph, no further increase in speed will occur. Instead, the treadmill surface will be raised 2 degrees every three minutes until you can no longer continue. You will be encouraged to give your best effort at the end of the test. The test will take about 60 minutes.
The test will be completed when you indicate that you do not wish to continue on to more demanding exercise. If you do not give such an indication, the test will be completed when your responses (heart function, breathing rate, and/or physical appearance) indicate that either you should not continue or that you have reached your peak effort. Following completion of this test, the speed and incline of the treadmill will be decreased so that you may recover at a slow jogging pace on a level surface for as long as you like.
Submaximal Treadmill Test:
One week after the maximal treadmill test and for two subsequent sessions at the Human Performance Lab, you will return to the Human Performance Lab to complete a series of three submaximal treadmill tests. You will perform these tests at an intensity that is equal to 60 percent of your previously determined VO2max. Each of the tests will require about 60 minutes. The tests will be performed at least 48 hours apart and as close to the same time of day as possible.
To start the submaximal treadmill test, you will be allowed a 5-10 minute warm-up at a walking speed (4 mph). The speed will then be increased so that you will be running at 60 percent of your VO2max for 50 minutes.
Salivary Analysis:
Saliva samples will be taken at the time of each of the exercise sessions. The saliva sample will require that you expectorate (spit) into a test tube. Two saliva samples will be taken at the time of the maximal treadmill test, one before the test and one following the test. Two saliva samples will be taken at the time of each of the submaximal tests. These samples will be taken before the start of each run and five minutes after each run.
Potential Risks and Discomforts
The following are the risks and discomforts you could potentially experience during this study:
As a result of the maximal treadmill test you may experience, for a short time, some breathing discomfort and/or muscle soreness similar to what you may have experienced during or following intense running and/or exercise. The mouthpiece may be uncomfortable during the test and may cause some soreness in the mouth. You should be aware that these tests involve the possible risk of falls and/or muscle-joint injuries. Some muscle soreness may also be experienced following the test. Sudden death is also a possible risk. However, considering your age and fitness level as determined by the Health History Questionnaire, sudden death is unlikely.
Submaximal Test:
The submaximal treadmill tests should not cause any undue discomfort, except for some muscle fatigue toward the end of the test. Other risks such as muscle-joint injuries and sudden death are also possible risks, but are considered highly unlikely.
No known risks are associated with the salivary analysis.
Protection Against Risks
A person certified in CPR will be present throughout all exercise procedures. Subjects also will be shown appropriate stretching maneuvers in order to alleviate muscle soreness.
Potential Benefits to Subject
You will receive feedback about your aerobic fitness level. It also may be of interest to you to see what changes, if any, in salivary IgA levels occur following a bout of exercise of a particular duration and intensity.
Potential Benefits to Society
Results from this study may help to determine if exercise of a certain duration and intensity affect susceptibility to upper respiratory infections.
Alternatives to Participation
The alternative to participation is not to participate.
Assurance of Confidentiality
Your participation in this study is voluntary. Any information obtained in this study that could identify you will be kept strictly confidential. Your name will not be associated in any way with the research findings. The information obtained in this study may be published in scientific journals and presented at professional meetings, but only as aggregated date. Your information will be identified only by a code number, and will be stored in a secure filing cabinet and computer database in the Human Performance Laboratory at UNK.
Compensation for Participation
There is no financial compensation for participating in this study.
In Case of Emergency Contact Procedure
In the event of a research-related injury, or if you experience an adverse reaction, please immediately contact one of the investigators listed at the end of this consent form.
Emergency Care and Compensation in Case of Injury
In the unlikely event that you should suffer an injury as a direct consequence of the research procedures described above, no additional compensation for physical care, hospitalization, loss of income, pain, suffering, or any other form of compensation will be provided. None of the above shall be construed as a waiver of any legal rights or redress you may have.
Rights of Research Subjects
Your rights as a research subject have been explained to you. If you have any additional questions concerning your rights as a research subject, you may contact the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Nebraska at Kearney, phone (308) 865-8886.
Voluntary Participation and Withdrawal
You are free to decide not to participate in this study or to withdraw at any time without adversely affecting your relationship with the investigators, or the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Your decision will not result in any loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
Documentation of Informed Consent

* An endangered bird may force the partial closure of Lake McConaughy beaches. The birds are getting kind of cocky. On Memorial Day weekend, they were tailgating.
* May has been declared National Hamburger Month. I think it says a lot about our priorities when we have Mother's Day and Hamburger Month. One day to honor our moms and an entire month to pay homage to the burger.
* On Tuesday night, Mitt Romney officially clinched the GOP nomination for president. Now Republicans are just keeping their fingers crossed that Newt Gingrich doesn't jump back into the race.
* Romney was about to deliver some poignant remarks about clinching the nomination when Donald Trump stepped in front of him at the mic to demand to see President Obama's birth certificate.
* On Tuesday, the Texas state primary was held. As usual, the big problem was Texans writing in their own names.
* The Texas primary was decided based on the biggest issue currently facing Texans: reopening the investigation to learn who's responsible for botching the Alamo.
* In Michigan, a dog bit a politician who was going door to door to campaign for state legislature. So I guess it's true: Dogs can immediately sense a person's character.
* According to test scores, nearly four in 10 Nebraska public high school juniors lack basic writing skills. I'm reasonably confident this study will be completely refuted this fall once students complete their essays on "What I Done On My Summer Vacation."
* While they may lack basic writing skills, our students can text message while blindfolded.
* Apparently, there was some confusion. During the writing tests, students incorrectly assumed they were limited to 140 characters.
* Kiplinger.com ranked Omaha as the best city in America to raise kids. Unless you want those kids to be able to write.
* A customer is complaining that when she brought her car in to Walmart for an oil change, the technician scrawled satanic slogans on the vehicle. I tell you, if everything isn't just perfect nowadays the consumer goes and complains.
* A man in Israel is divorcing his wife because she has 550 cats. The last straw was when the guy still found a mouse running freely about the house.
* The Chicago Cubs broke a 12-game losing streak. Cubs fans are withholding comment until they can find the appropriate curse to blame the 12 losses on.
