More on Queen's Birthday Party HP Sketch, DVD, and BookHP Cast
As we told you previously, there is to be a special birthday party for the Queen on June 25, and several figures from the world of Harry Potter are involved in this event. We now have several updates for you regarding their involvement. First, Warner Brothers has updated their official Harry Potter website with more information on sketch that will be included involving four actors from the films. This sketch, which has already been filmed, will air during a special play that is part of the festivities.
"As part of the event, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Matthew Lewis will appear in character as Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville in a filmed segment on the Gryffindor common room set recommending a spell for the Palace to use in order to apprehend a thief. It is this spell that ultimately leads to them catching the crook. "
Also, the official Children's Party at the Palace website has been updated and now says that a special DVD and book from the event will be available for purchase later this summer. While we do NOT know yet if this DVD will contain the special Harry Potter sketch, we are working to find out more on this. TLC can tell you that author J.K. Rowling will not specifically be part of this "souvenir storybook based on the script of the BBC live show" coming from Harper Collins. Finally, while there is to be a special author tent at the party, there is not to be any formal question and answer session involving our favorite author there. Jo will still indeed be reading from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince before the play. The BBC and CBBC will be broadcasting highlights and portions of the party and play 6.15 to 7.30 pm (until 7.00 pm on CBBC).

RALEIGH This is a tense moment. Economic growth remains lackluster. Gas prices and unemployment rates are high. And in this high-stakes election year, were talking not just about our economic woes but also about tough issues such as abortion, a racially charged shooting in Florida, and a North Carolina measure that would create a constitutional prohibition against same-sex marriage and civil unions.
Something happened last week that raised tensions even further. Unfortunately, it happened on a website published by my organization, the John Locke Foundation.
In case you havent heard, a freelance contributor to JLFs Charlotte-focused blog, The Meck Deck, used an offensive illustration and headline to accompany her post about President Obamas announced opposition to the states marriage amendment.
The blogger, Tara Servatius, argued that the president had political motives for intervening in the North Carolina vote. Having stated his opposition to same-sex marriage in 2008, and passed up opportunities since then to weigh in forcefully on the issue in other states, Obama decided to oppose North Carolinas marriage amendment as a means of reaching out to moderate swing voters, she maintained.
Whatever you think of her argument, it wasnt offensive. However, she chose to headline the article Obama Goes Gay to Win NC on Election Day, which sacrificed good taste to a bad rhyme. And she chose to illustrate the post with an image she found on the Internet of Obama dressed in bondage gear with a bucket of chicken placed between his legs.
It would be difficult to imagine a more revolting depiction of the president of the United States. It would offend virtually anyone who saw it, regardless of ones race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or political ideology. It would have been embarrassing for such an image to appear on anyones blog for any length of time. Unfortunately, it was on the site for two days from Monday evening to Wednesday evening, when it was first brought to my attention by a reader (thanks, Andy).
I was horrified, outraged, and very sorry that I hadnt seen it much earlier. The image was immediately taken down, but the damage was done. Whatever Taras intentions may have been, we simply dont publish or condone that kind of thing. But embarrassment isnt the only damage I mean. As I wrote the next morning:
The political discourse in our state and nation has grown increasingly coarse, unnecessarily personal, and destructively vitriolic. This is the kind of episode that can only make the situation worse. We should be able to disagree about controversial issues without it coming to this.
The problem spans the political spectrum. Be it comparing a Georgetown student to a prostitute, comparing a peaceful conservative activist to a Taliban thug, subjecting Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin to sexist ridicule, or publishing threats of violence against conservative friends of mine all recent events extremism in the defense of ones debating point or personal notoriety is no virtue.
There is nothing wrong with robust policy debate. When we have strong disagreements, we should feel free to argue about them and to employ humor while doing so. But the use of extreme language, analogies, or images that demean others merely serves to demean ourselves, our causes, and our society. Intention isnt the point. Outcome is.
Take the issue raised in the Meck Deck post, North Carolinas marriage amendment. While our bloggers may comment on its political implications or Carolina Journal may publish news stories on the referendum campaign, the John Locke Foundation does not take positions on gay rights, abortion, or other social issues. Other organizations, Left and Right, exist to debate those issues. From our founding in 1989, JLF has focused on fiscal and economic matters. Since I began writing a column for the organization, I have followed the same editorial policy, although I have commented on other issues in other forums.
But in this case Ill suspend the rule for the sake of illustration. As it happens, JLF staffers and contributors have a wide range of views on social issues, including the marriage amendment. Some support it, based on heartfelt moral or religious convictions. Others oppose it, including me.
I think amending North Carolinas constitution to forbid gay and lesbian couples from receiving any future legal recognition, including civil unions, is unwise and unfair. In my opinion the real threat to marriage is not the prospect of gay people getting hitched. It is the reality of straight people too quickly resorting to divorce, or never getting hitched in the first place.
Should I assume and say that anyone who supports the amendment, including friends and colleagues, must be a bigot? Should they assume and say that anyone who opposes the amendment must be faithless, or hostile to family values? Not if we want to live and work together in a civil society. And not if we actually want to persuade rather than to preen, persecute, or provoke.
Most North Carolina voters, it seems, are likely to support the amendment. I disagree with them, but that doesnt mean I should say they all have small minds or evil intent. Once you start down that road, you end up ranting and raving to an ever-shrinking audience characterized by uniform views and smug self-satisfaction.
I know it has become a cliché to make the following point, but some clichés are simply popular distillations of important truths. We should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. We should be able to debate political topics without making everything relentlessly and poisonously personal. And we should be able to laugh at ourselves, and among ourselves, even when discussing serious topics.
There is a bright line between levity and offense, however, and the image in question crossed it. Its use was an offense for which there was no defense.
Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation.

Oxford United in danger of breaking trophy rules
9:30am Tuesday 9th October 2012 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Chris Wilder says he is happy to provide medical evidence if Oxford United break Johnstone's Paint Trophy rules tonight because of the number of injuries which have ravaged the squad.
Under competition rules, teams have to include six players who started the previous game, or six first-team regulars from the season to date.
It is designed to prevent clubs fielding weakened sides, but in United's case at Cheltenham Town they have no choice – with potentially only a dozen fully fit outfield players available for selection for the Southern Section second-round tie.
Damian Batt and Deane Smalley both suffered groin injuries in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Gillingham, increasing the injured list to nine.
Alfie Potter faces a late fitness test, while new signing Johnny Mullins is cup-tied.
The absences could bring the U's very close to breaking the rules, but Wilder insists there is nothing he can do.
The United boss said: "It's not a case of us resting players, we're just picking a side which is available to us.
"Hopefully, it will still be in the rules of the competition, but if people want a doctor's note I can give them a medical report straight away, because there's no way we'll pick players who are injured and unfit.
"I've got 12 outfield players, plus Alfie, who might not be able to start, but could be fit enough to be on the bench."
Daniel Boateng, who started in United's first-round victory over Swindon Town, is expected to replace Batt at right back, while up front, James Constable could make only his second start in eight games.
Harry Worley is favourite to replace Mullins after overcoming a lengthy ankle injury.
He said: "I'm hoping to play and prove my fitness. We'll soon find out if I can get through 90 minutes."
Teenage striker Tyrone Marsh, who has only made two brief substitute appearances for the first team, will also feature at some stage.
Wilder said: "It's good for him because he's done well and in the glimpses we saw at Leeds, he was excellent.
"We think quite a lot of him, he's done great and hopefully this is a little window for him to show what he's about.
"There's always a chance to gain something, whatever team we put out, it won't be a mis-match.
"If we get a result and go through I'll be delighted, as long as everybody comes through unscathed."
Cheltenham are expected to have the luxury of resting several players.
Cheltenham Tn: from Brown, Jones, Lowe, Hooman, Jombati, Pack, Deering, McGlashan, Mohamed, Zebroski, Duffy, Harrad, Roberts, Goulding, Elliott, Penn, Carter.
Oxford Utd: from Clarke, Boateng, Worley, Wright, O'Brien, Chapman, Heslop, Forster-Caskey, Rigg, Craddock, Constable, Potter, Capaldi, Leven, Marsh, Crocombe, Lynn.

I know a few European sides have shown an interest in the part Synthetic surface, but I've never known a team with so many injuries. Hopefully, it's an unfortunate coincidence.

Seen from the ocean, it presents a majestic panorama; a great circle of hills is backed by the snow-capped peaks of the distant Cordillera.

A temporary boil water advisory has been issued for an area east of Hughes Road, north of Madison Pike, and south of Bradford Farms due to a water main break.
Bob Jones High School and Discovery Middle School were closed Friday, according to Superintendent Dr. Dee Fowler.
The water main break happened near the intersection of Eastview Drive and McAdoo Drive in Madison Thursday night.
Madison Utilities General Manager Ricky Pounders said the main break happened at the Madison Utilities pump facility on McAdoo Drive and Coveshire Place. Crews were making construction upgrades on Thursday when the water main line burst.
The Madison Water Department has completed the water main repairs and will increase water pressure gradually.
Madison Utilities said if your home was completely out of water, you will need to boil water until all system water sampling is complete.
They expect the boil advisory to be lifted by Saturday night.
Crews had to flush the system and the boil advisory is a precautionary measure.
Officials said the offices will be staffed on Saturday to answer questions. They can be reached at 256-772-0253.

LinkedIn, the professional social networking site, has confirmed reports of a security breach that leaked password information of up to 6.5 million users.
On Monday, the leaked passwords were posted on a Russian online forum. The passwords were camouflaged with the cryptographic hash called SHA-1.
LinkedIn confirmed the reports of the password leak on their blog today, and encouraged users to change their passwords. If you haven't changed your password, do it now.
What is LinkedIn doing for those who have had their passwords leaked?
From the LinkedIn blog:
1. Members that have accounts associated with the compromised passwords will notice that their LinkedIn account password is no longer valid.
2. These members will also receive an email from LinkedIn with instructions on how to reset their passwords. There will not be any links in these emails. For security reasons, you should never change your password on any website by following a link in an email.
3. These affected members will receive a second email from our Customer Support team providing a bit more context on this situation and why they are being asked to change their passwords.
In addition, LinkedIn has noted that they are taking additional steps to protect users by adding some extra security to their password database.
It is worth noting that the affected members who update their passwords and members whose passwords have not been compromised benefit from the enhanced security we just recently put in place, which includes hashing and salting of our current password databases. - Via LinkedIn blog
What's all this talk of hashing and salting you may ask? What does it mean when someone asks if you have salted your password?
Put away that Morton salt, because that isn't what we are talking about here.
Password hashing
Hashing is the process of converting a piece of data into a relatively short piece of data such as a string or an integer. LinkedIn had their passwords encrypted using the 160-bit Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1). This method is usually secure, but only if the hashes are "salted."
Salt is data added during the hashing process to make it more difficult to crack the data. When data is salted, it helps prevent the hashes from being looked up on a list of pre-computed hashes, also known as a rainbow table.
So what can all of us learn from this? Make sure you have strong passwords, and have different passwords for all your accounts. If you used the same password for other accounts, it would be wise to change those passwords as well.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Rays have taken a conservative approach when it's come to their injured players this spring.
A pair of Rays took big steps forward Sunday as star third baseman Evan Longoria and designated hitter Luke Scott made their spring debuts in Tampa Bay's 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Overshadowing their return was Rays starter Jeff Niemann, who tossed three perfect innings in his second spring start. The right-hander, vying for a spot in the rotation, threw only 27 pitches and used his entire repertoire.
"I feel like we're just refining now," Niemann said. "We're not searching. We're not trying to find a new pitch. Everything's pretty much there. We're really just trying to make things that much better and not trying to search."
Longoria was hitless and committed a throwing error in the fourth inning. He drew a walk and later scored on Reid Brignac's squeeze bunt, and added a sacrifice fly.
The slugger said he felt no pain in his right hand that was bruised when he was hit by a pitch earlier in camp. He said it was to be expected that he'd struggle a bit at the start.
"The thing about playing spring training games is adjusting to the speed of the game again, and just being out there and errors, and obviously those are going to happen, but the adjustment to playing in a major league game again and feeling that speed is what's needed, why we need spring," he said.
"So those adjustments will be made. It's the first game, so I got my feet wet and it felt good doing it," he said.
Scott was hitless in his first game as a Ray, but felt no pain in his right shoulder that he had surgically repaired in the offseason. While it felt good to see game action, Scott said he can't put a timetable on when he'll feel all settled at the plate.
"It's kind of like trying to hold back the tide," Scott said. "You just can't predict when you're going to be locked in. I've had years where my second at-bat of the spring I was locked in and ready to go, and I had spring trainings where I never got locked in, not even one at-bat."
Pirates right-hander Kevin Correia was sharp in three scoreless innings. He yielded two hits with a walk and a strikeout in his second spring start.
"Everything felt pretty good," Correia said. "I got some longer counts with some guys, and managed to get them out. All and all, I was pretty happy with it."
Pittsburgh's lineup looked similar to what it is projected to look like on opening day, but the Pirates were held to just four hits.
Pedro Alvarez hit his second homer of the spring in the fifth against Rays reliever Joel Peralta.
"Pedro put another real good swing on a ball," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I like the fact from the first at-bat he was ready to hit. (Peralta) fired a first-pitch strike."
Jake Fox homered in the ninth for Pittsburgh. The Rays scored twice in the bottom half and won on a single by Chris Gimenez.
"You always look for positive things that happen during every spring training game, every 'B' game regardless of the outcome," Hurdle said. "It's not all about the outcome. I think at this point in time towards the back of spring training, we're a little more focused on getting the right people in the situations in that you feel they are going to perform in during the season. Right now, it's still the evaluation process."
NOTES: Bryan Morris, Daniel Moskos and Jared Hughes logged scoreless innings for the Pirates. ... J.P. Howell, Jake McGee and Brandon Gomes pitches scoreless innings for the Rays. ... Brignac, Jose Molina and Matt Mangini each had two hits for Tampa Bay.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reduced Hargrove's eight-game suspension previously given to him for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal.||||||| Hargrove, a free agent defensive lineman, will face a two-game suspension once he signs with a team.
The suspensions of four players in the NFL's bounty investigation have been lifted by a three-member appeals panel. The league reinstated those players a few minutes after Friday's ruling.||||||| Hargrove can play immediately, but he must join a team first. That won't happen in time for this weekend's games.
Hargrove, already facing an eight-game suspension for his role in the Saints bounty pool, has been released by the Green Bay Packers.||||||| The 29-year-old Hargrove has denied NFL accusations that he lied to league investigators. Hargrove, with the Saints from 2009-2010, played last season with Seattle. Green Bay signed the 6-foot-3, 287-pound Hargrove on March 29. He was suspended by the NFL on May 2.
Hargrove, now with the Green Bay Packers, is suspended without pay for eight games this season, the NFL announced Wednesday.||||||| Hargrove is one of four players punished for participating in a pay-for-pain bounty system employed by the Saints.

After watching almost every snap of every game the Packers have played so far this season, it has become clear that nothing is going to come easy for them this season, and that includes a victory against a Cowboys team widely considered to be the most disappointing in the league up to now.
I look for feisty Cowboys QB Jon Kitna, who has engaged in his share of wars against the Packers as the Lions' former signalcaller, to offer a more difficult challenge than might be expected for a Green Bay defense coming off a simply superhuman effort against the Jets.
That said, Aaron Rodgers should be able to generate enough firepower against the Cowboys' defense to enable the Packers to win their third straight game. I see the game being tight going into the fourth quarter with the Packers ultimately pulling away. And don't be surprised if a score by a Packers defender on an interception by Kitna provides the winning margin.
Prediction: Packers 26, Cowboys 21

Women's Soccer Shuts Out Stetson, 5-0, in Home Finale
Oct. 19, 2002

PawSox Release
R.I. -- Making his regular season debut in the Red Sox organization,
Mitch Maier delivered a two-out, three-run homer in Sunday's 11th inning
to lift Pawtucket to a 5-2 victory over Rochester and four-game series
sweep of the Red Wings.
Before a paid crowd of 5,657 at McCoy Stadium, Red Wings reliever Anthony Slama (LP, 0-3) walked two of the first four hitters he faced, before falling behind Maier, 2-and-0. Slama's next pitch resulted in a low line-drive hugging the foul pole in the right-field corner.
Maier batted .346 in spring training with Boston, but sprained his left wrist, forcing him to remain in Fort Myers before joining Pawtucket. With Maier's final swing, in his fifth plate appearance Sunday, the ex-Kansas City Royal helped the PawSox to a 9-1 start, the best in franchise history.
Pawtucket immediately fell behind, when Clete Thomas led off the game with a home run off Jeremy Kehrt. A fourth-inning error by third baseman Drew Sutton led to Rochester's second run and a 2-0 lead. Sutton, however, made amends with a game-tying, two-run single off reliever Daniel Turpen in the bottom of the seventh.
Meanwhile, the PawSox bullpen was in shutdown mode, particularly Jose De La Torre and Ryan Rowland-Smith, who co-authored 6.0 hitless innings. Rowland-Smith (1-0) earned the win by retiring all nine batters faced.
The homestand continues Monday at 6:15 p.m., with a visit by Lehigh Valley to open a four-game series. Pawtucket is scheduled to start righthander Allen Webster vs. Tyler Cloyd (0-2).
Afterthoughts: David Ortiz was a late scratch from the starting lineup...Brandon Snyder collected two of Pawtucket's eight hits...The Sox trailed in all four games vs. Rochester, but wound up outscoring the Red Wings, 24-8, in the series...Righthander Steven Wright (1-0) was originally scheduled to start on Sunday, but instead will pitch Tuesday vs. Lehigh Valley.

Now we are getting somewhere. Because this gets to the core of the issue: percpetion. It's the brain which constructs a cohesive scene for us. It's what allows us to perceive a scenario with widely varying illumination as being more evenly illuminated. It's why we don't perceive a room as turning black whenever we look out a window.Looking outside a window, you can still see stuff in the room.
Actually, you can't. I do believe it's a common undergraduate psychology lab experiment to have a subject close her eyes, have the experimenter re-arrange the scene, have the subject open her eyes and look straight ahead at a well-lit scene, and be utterly unable to even vaguely describe what's off to the sides and not directly lit (but by no means in the dark) without directly looking at them.
This is the message I am trying to get across. The prison photo example, that is how a person standing there actually perceives the scene. To be a good photographer, you have to understand how human perception is different from what is actually recorded by a camera, when it is necessary to reconcile those differences, and how to do so when necessary.

Bedford, VA - The Town of Bedford got hit with a whopping electric bill for January and is asking elected officials to investigate potential price gouging.
The transmission rate the town pays was $500,000 more than usual. That portion of the town's bill went from $60,000 to $560,000.
The transmission rate is what's charged to get electricity to the town for distribution to homes. Bedford buys electricity using PJM, a regional transmission system that services this part of the country.
Town leaders plan to ask state and federal officials to look into whether this is a case of price gouging while it was extremely cold and demand was high.
The cost will be passed on to customers over three years. Bills will be about $1.40 more each month.

Summer Greetings from CGI! We hope this newsletter finds you enjoying long, relaxing days with family and friends while welcoming colleagues from around the world. CGI completed its annual whirlwind of activity in May with more than 90 Global Executive MBA students in Minnesota for residencies and graduation, and another 172 Carlson School graduate and undergraduate students departing for faculty-led programs around the world.
We too enjoy the summer months when CGI partner faculty and Executive and Full-Time MBA students from South Korea and Romania visit Minneapolis for custom academic and corporate sessions -- and we love to show off the beauty of the Twin Cities this time of year. As you know, colleagues are always surprised given the state's cold and snowy reputation!
As we reflect on the past fiscal year, we continue to incorporate your input into our strategic agenda to advance global competence of leaders in our community and shape the future of management education. In this spirit, we are pleased to have launched a newly re-established CGI Advisory Council that will provide us with valuable insights into real-time global business issues and opportunities. We also envision this group of leaders to continue to assist us in our work to serve as a catalyst for all stakeholders to function as a more interactive and effective global network. This Council joins our Faculty Advisory Board that focuses on the internationalization of the Carlson School curricula, research on how it impacts our students and faculty, and other related policy issues.
Of particular interest in this issue is research on expatriate adjustment by Professor Connie Wanberg, associate dean of Undergraduate Programs and Industrial Relations Faculty Excellence Chair. A few years ago, CGI was able to provide a travel grant to support this timely and significant research. See below for a link to this story and for information about research by Carlson School faculty, please visit the Carlson School's homepage.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Going Global and, if you are in the Twin Cities on September 27, please plan to join us from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Carlson School atrium for CGI's annual fall reception celebrating global engagement and advances at the Carlson School of Management.

An expatriate assignment is often seen as a valuable part of a manager's career development. While these assignments are opportunities, expatriates also face challenges adjusting to their surroundings. Many organizational development and human resources professionals and researchers have accepted the U-curved theory of cultural adaptation. This theory postulates that individuals entering into a culture new to them will start at a high point, sometimes referred to as a honeymoon stage. This stage is followed by a low, which may include feelings of isolation or frustration. The third stage is one of personal responsibility for cultural adjustment, a greater understanding of the host culture, and general positive feelings about the experience.
Carlson School Professor of Work and Organizations Connie Wanberg has traveled extensively and was curious about the U-shaped adjustment curve theory. Together with Jing Zhu, a professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and a PhD alumna of the Carlson School of Management's Human Resources and Industrial Relations program, Wanberg started to explore this theory when Professor Zhu was a student at Carlson. They found that little quantitative evidence existed to support or refute the U-curve theory and that much of the theory was based on anecdotal evidence. With seed funding from the Carlson Global Institute (previously International Programs), Wanberg and Zhu decided to perform empirical research to test the U-curve theory. The preliminary findings of their research offer an alternative to the long-accepted understanding of cultural adjustment.
Their study explores the transitions of 170 expatriates from three large multinational firms over the first nine months of their international assignments. The majority of the study participants were expected to be abroad for less than three years. The participants completed an electronic baseline survey before they left for their assignment to establish a foundational level for psychological well-being and host country language fluency. Participants then completed a survey at the end of each of their first nine months abroad, which explored concepts such as personal learning, career development, co-worker support, and role clarity in the context of this international assignment.
The initial results of the study reveal that on average, expatriate adjustment does not follow a U-curve pattern. Instead, adjustment starts low and then rises over the first few months before leveling off. In designing the study, the researchers also wanted to understand what impacted individual expatriate adjustment experiences. Results indicate the following:
So, what does all this mean? Strong psychological well-being and host country language fluency appear to be key factors to adjustment. According to Zhu, "Expats with the two tend to have a higher level of adjustment at the beginning of the assignment." Wanberg also noted that while companies prepare employees to leave, not all prepare the host employees to receive expatriates and be supportive in their transition. As this study demonstrated, co-worker support can be another important factor in the successful transition of expatriates. Such research can help companies and employees better prepare to fully leverage an international assignment.
The study is coming to a close, with final data being incorporated into the analysis. Wanberg and Zhu anticipate submitting their key findings soon to relevant academic journals.
Carlson Global Institute Launches Advisory Council
The mission of the Carlson Global Institute is to "lead global management education, research, and outreach and serve as a catalyst for stakeholders to function as an interactive global network that generates new knowledge toward the development of globally mindful leaders." The Advisory Council, which met for the first time in May, is another step toward creating a more interactive global network. It provides a forum for Twin Cities-based global leaders to share opportunities, challenges, and insights with one another and the Carlson School as we support the development of global competency in undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and corporate and community leaders here and around the world. The CGI Advisory Council joins the CGI Faculty Advisory Committee in providing advice and guidance related to stakeholder engagement, curriculum development, research about impact of global initiatives, and development of future initiatives of the Institute.
The Council currently consists of eight members representing the public and private sectors. Members include:
David Clark

*Global Business Practicum (live case) sponsors, May 2012.
Every year, the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) invites faculty from outside the University of Minnesota to participate in Carlson School faculty-led, short-term education abroad programs. These shadowing opportunities support faculty who want to develop similar course offerings at their home institutions, and further CIBER's goal of building capacity in global business education.
Faculty from Iowa State University and the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University contributed their enthusiasm, interest and subject matter expertise to two Carlson School programs. Their engagement enriched the experience for students and Carlson faculty leaders as well.
Dr. Qing Hu, Chair of the Department of Supply Chain and Information Systems, College of Business at Iowa State University, joined Carlson School faculty leader David Bartlett and a group of 22 MBA students on a Global Business Practicum (GBP), or a "live" case, in Austria and the Czech Republic. The students worked on a project for Toro in partnership with students and faculty from the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Their challenge: to optimize the aftermarket experience of Toro's golf customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

|Faculty participants with leader Robert Strand at Partnership 2012 conference at Copenhagen Business School
Ten faculty members from universities across the U.S. recently returned from the first ever Professional Development in International Business (PDIB) program in Scandinavia. The program, offered by the University of Minnesota Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), focused on sustainability and CSR strategies in Scandinavian companies, NGOs, and universities. Participating faculty came from American University, Florida International University, Haskell Indian Nations University, St. Catherine University, and the Universities of Alabama, Florida, Iowa, and Miami.
The group explored current business practices and future challenges with top executives at IKEA, Carlsberg, Maersk, Novozymes, and Volvo Group, and connected with international leaders at the Partnership 2012 conference at Copenhagen Business School. As one participant reflected, sustainability and CSR require significant cooperation across the supply chain. To see short video interviews from the conference, please visit www.partnership2012.com.
CIBER will offer PDIB Scandinavia - Sustainability and CSR for faculty and industry professionals in June 2013. For more information about CIBER, please visit www.carlsonschool.umn.edu/ciber.

Another plug for the midship cleat involves its use in everyday docking situations. For instance, stand on any dock and watch how most boats approach and tie up. Often, the bowline is sent over first. That's a no-brainer. When making an approach, the easiest thing to do is to point the bow in. And it makes sense; if the approach isn't to the skipper's liking, it's easier to back or veer off from a bow-on position. But what happens if the bowline is set up on the boat, the line is also secured on the dock and the boat has a bit too much way on? That bowline, in effect, becomes a forward spring, Newton's Law takes over and "crunch."
Let's take the same angle of attack, but the initial line sent ashore is bent to the midship cleat and then led forward rather than being bent directly to the bow cleat. The line is then handed to a person ashore, or a crew member can step on the dock with it. The skipper can then come ahead or go astern with confidence, as the line can be easily controlled from aboard.
When attempting a single-handed approach, depending on the vessel, it's usually more convenient for the boat's operator to reach a midship line rather than a bowline. Either way, if the midship line sets up inadvertently, the bow won't catapult in and take a hit. Instead, under most conditions, the boat will approach the dock broadside rather than bow-in, especially if the skipper comes ahead while steering away from the dock.
Using that midship spring can allow a vessel to come into a dock space just slightly longer than its length — for instance, between two other boats on a fuel dock. Each time the boat is given a small burst of forward throttle, it not only comes ahead on the spring, it also gets closer — and still parallel — to the dock. Then, by coming astern, the skipper can limit forward motion while excess line is taken in. The process is repeated until you're alongside. Like everything else, it takes practice to do this single-handedly or even with coordination between skipper, crew and dock personnel. Of course, fendering is essential.
As in any situation where someone takes lines on a dock, the line must always be controlled from aboard. The person ashore needs to be sent a looped line and told where to place it, all adjustments being made from the boat. Anything short of that means control of the boat is being handed over to the line handler on the dock. You can bet when something goes wrong, the dockside line handler won't be at fault — it'll be, and rightly so, the skipper's fault.

The U.S. Coast Guard is asking all boat owners and operators to help reduce fatalities, injuries, property damage, and associated healthcare costs related to recreational boating accidents by taking personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their passengers. Essential steps include: wearing a life jacket at all times and requiring passengers to do the same; never boating under the influence (BUI); successfully completing a boating safety course; and getting a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) annually from local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadrons(r), or your state boating agency's Vessel Examiners. The U.S. Coast Guard reminds all boaters to "Boat Responsibly!" For more tips on boating safety, visit www.uscgboating.org.

Sesame Street's Most Eyebrow-Raising Characters by POPSUGAR Moms 10/26/11 0 Reactions 13 Shares Print 0 8 5 0 0 For more than 40 years, Sesame Street has been nearly synonymous with childhood, but that doesn't mean the beloved program has been controversy free. New puppet Lily is the latest character to get tongues wagging about the appropriateness of certain topics for tots, but she's far from the first. Since its inception, Sesame Street has pushed boundaries and tackled tough topics, some of which critics deem too tough for tots. Keep reading for some Sesame Street characters, storylines, and guest stars who've had people talking about way more than ABCs and 123s. Are They or Aren't They? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In August 2011, an online petition to let Bert and Ernie get married circulated. It garnered a lot of media attention despite Sesame Street's official statement on the matter, posted on its Facebook page: Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics . . . they remain puppets and do not have a sexual orientation. The speculation about the nature of their relationship is nothing new for Bert and Ernie. In 1980, Studio 360 host and author Kurt Andersen wrote: "Bert and Ernie conduct themselves in the same loving, discreet way that millions of gay men, women, and hand puppets do. They do their jobs well and live a splendidly settled life together in an impeccably decorated cabinet." Photo courtesy of Sesame Street Workshop 1 / 7 The Katy Perry Cleavage Fiasco What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Katy Perry joined Elmo for a duet, they weren't the pair that everyone was talking about. When a preview of the episode was broadcast on YouTube, some parents and critics complained that Perry's low-cut neckline and enviable assets were inappropriate for lil eyes, and Sesame Street pulled the episode. Source: YouTube 2 / 7 Oscar the Grouch vs. "Pox" News What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network), an angry listener calls in to complain that Oscar's version of the news isn't grouchy enough, saying, "I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching 'Pox' News. Now there is a trashy news show." Not surprisingly, Fox News didn't take kindly to the thinly veiled barb. Source: Getty 3 / 7 Cookie Monster's Questionable Eating Habits What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At a time when America's childhood obesity levels are reaching epic proportions, the giant blue monster with an insatiable appetite for sugary treats has been criticized for exacerbating US tots' addiction to junk food. In 2005, a reformed Cookie Monster changed his tune, singing "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," and began eating healthier foods, like fruits and vegetables. Source: WireImage 4 / 7 HIV Positive Puppet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 2002, Sesame Street introduced viewers to Kami, an HIV-positive puppet on Nigeria's Takalani Sesame, in an effort to educate and fight stereotypes about people with AIDS. Though Kami never appeared on American Sesame Street, some individuals staunchly opposed the introduction of Kami, and a group of conservative US representatives cautioned PBS against introducing HIV-positive puppets to American audiences or risk losing funding. Photo courtesy of Sesame Street Workshop 6 / 7 The Arab/Israeli Conflict Conflict What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 2006, two versions of Sesame Street were broadcast in Israel — one for Arab children and one for Israealis. Doing their part to bring peace to the Middle East, and despite protests and professional blacklisting, Sesame Street brought Arab Muppet Mahboub to Rechov Sumsum, Israel's Sesame Street adaptation. Photo courtesy of Sesame Street Workshop 6 / 7 Lily, the "Food Insecure" Puppet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Introduced in a special earlier this month to raise awareness about hunger and poverty, Lily is a 7-year-old girl representing one of the 17 million American children that the Department of Agriculture estimates are "food insecure," meaning they have limited or uncertain access to affordable and nutritious food. Some critics feel that Lily isn't an accurate portrayal of hunger, given that most children in this country are much better off than their peers in third-world countries.

Once just a nameless peasant working in the depths of sculleries and kitchens, Lord Camulus has been plucked from the obscurity by that very service he has joyfully provided to Barony and Kingdom.
The exact details of his origins are a muddled affair as the descriptors "village, by a hill, we had a blacksmith" where not the most helpful in determining geographical location.
Most ascribe a Roman source due to his name. Other factors point to a lineage connected to a family of minor Britannia administrators who kept alive the names of emperors with belief that though the empire has crumbled, to fraction of its size and far to the East, it will curry favor with the Romans if and when they make a come back.
