How To Land Your Dream Internship: LIDS Projects!
Jan. 21, 2014 – John Rennie
With the start of the spring semester one of the biggest questions on students' minds is how they will spend the upcoming summer. For many law students this has already been settled and they know what law firm they will be working at during the summer. But others, especially graduate students like myself, face an open opportunity. This can be a challenge – finding the right internship can require both work and luck – but also an opportunity, as it provides a reason to reach out to organizations that you have always been interested in and see where you might fit.
I mention the process of finding internship and jobs because I think it highlights one of the biggest assets of LIDS projects – the opportunity to engage with organizations doing exciting and cutting-edge development work. As I learned last year, this can be a natural step to a great summer internship.
I began working on LIDS projects last year when I joined a project with the Vale Columbia Center for Sustainable International Investment. Our project researched best practices in the use of technology transfers in FDI. As I got to know the organization and their work … Read More »

By Ahura Mujuni Mark
Lord's Resistance Army rebels have continued to carry out atrocities in Central African Republic despite his continuous hunt.The recent report indicate that LRA rebels carried out attacks from June 21 to 25, 2012 killing at least two people near a remote hunting concession outside Bakouma, in the Central African Republic (CAR) ,Human Rights Watch said in today
The attackers killed at least two civilians and abducted at least 14 others. The attacks followed killings of 13 civilians in the same area in March,a release from Human rights watch say
Witnesses reported to Human Rights Watch and a national human rights activist that from June 21 to 25, at least 30 LRA combatants carried out a series of attacks near Bakouma, Mbomou prefecture, in eastern CAR.
The LRA attacked the field base of French company, Areva, whose staff are conducting uranium mining activities in the area, and the nearby villages of Lengo, Ouanda, and Denguiro. Large quantities of food, clothing, electronics, and other materials were looted from the Areva base.
In Lengo, 10 kilometers from Bakouma, LRA combatants killed a fisherman near the river on June 23. The same day, they stabbed an elderly carpenter with a bayonet and then decapitated him.
When his wife heard gunshots, she ran outside their home and found her husband's body. While she was sobbing by the body, the LRA combatants returned, beat the elderly woman, and forced her to lead them to her home, and looted all their belongings. The combatants then forced her and three men from Lengo to carry the stolen goods into the forest. She later managed to escape.
At least 10 other civilians were abducted in and around Ouanda and Denguiro. One of the men, abducted near Ouanda while buying meat, who later managed to escape, said: "There were 34 LRA in the group, men as well as women and children. Two children in the group, a girl and a boy, spoke Sango [the national language in CAR]. They told us that we were with the LRA. We were beaten a lot, especially if we didn't walk fast enough."
LRA rebels have operated in CAR after being pushed from Northern Uganda by Uganda People's Defense Forces.The rebel group first operated in parts of DRC and South Sudan before escaping to Central African Republic.The Human Rights group says LRA rebels have killed more than 2,600 civilians and abducted more than 4,000 other people since 2008.
LRA leader Joseph Kony is being hunted by the International Criminal Court to answer the war crimes he committed in Northern Uganda in a two decades war which left thousands of people dead.Uganda People's Defence Forces were recently joined by American forces to capture Joseph Kony and end his rebel movement.

Have you dreamed of owning your own restaurant for years, but always thought it was out of your reach? Stop dreaming and take charge of your life! It will take hard work and dedication, but if you are willing to invest the effort and follow these steps to owning your own restaurant, within a year you could be serving your first customers!
1. Choose Your Concept Decide what your dining concept will be and whether you will open a franchise or independent establishment. The main dining concepts are:
- QSR (quick serve restaurant) Features a limited menu of fast food items with minimal table service; typically franchises
- Fast Casual Minimal table service; serving more upscale food than QSRs, such as gourmet style foods and organic ingredients
- Casual Dining Moderately priced food with table service in a casual atmosphere; usually features a full bar with separate staff; limited wine menu.
- Fine Dining Full service restaurant with defined courses, atmospheric décor, high quality food, with extensive wine list
- Ethnic Menus consist of items from specific region: Italian, Thai, Mexican, etc.
2. Location Moving into a location that is already outfitted as a restaurant can save you money, but make sure you investigate why the last restaurant moved to avoid potential problems. Your ideal site will have:
- Visibility / Accessibility
- Foot Traffic
- Ample Parking
- Sufficient Size
- Affordable Rent
- Demographics that fit your restaurant concept
3. Write a Business Plan A detailed business plan will give you an overview of all aspects of your restaurant and local business conditions, and show potential partners and/or lenders the feasibility of your restaurant idea.
4. Obtain Financing Present your business plan to private investors and/or banks to secure financial backing or loans. If you raise the capital through partners, it is imperative to detail everyone's rights and responsibilities clearly in a binding contract- even with family members!
5. Name Your Restaurant Choose a memorable, descriptive name that reflects your concept or incorporate your address / numbers into your name (ex. Prime 112).
6. Register Your Business Decide whether you will operate as a limited liability company, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship, register with the state, obtain a sales tax number and an employer tax identification number (EIN).
7. Design Your Layout and Décor All the elements in your restaurant should work together – balance seating and kitchen space, ambiance, lighting, and music to create a welcoming, defined theme. Consider hiring a professional designer to actualize your concept.
8. Create and Price Your Menu This is the heart and soul of your restaurant – the food! Design a menu that embodies the theme of your restaurant. Scale the number of dishes you offer to what your kitchen can comfortably handle and set your food cost goal – generally somewhere between 26% and 33% – and strictly stick to it! Include every cost when figuring price, and vary your price points to bring in a wide selection of customers.
9. Equip Your Establishment If cash flow is an issue, consider leasing large equipment or purchasing refurbished equipment. Compare wholesale food vendors' prices and services; set up credit and establish delivery schedules. Fully stock your bar and acquire approximately one week's worth of food supplies.
10. Market Your Restaurant You should start marketing your business a month before your opening date. Introduce your business to the area with fliers, and invest in print and radio ads. Set up a website; use social media and location-based services to build customer interest.
11. Get Permits, Licenses, & Insurance Apply for whatever small business and health department permits are required in your area. Cover your business with property, liability, and Workers' Compensation insurance (liquor liability if applicable).
12. Hire Your Staff Great service is imperative for building repeat customers! Ensure you have the staff your cuisine merits by:
- Thoroughly screening applicants
- Creating detailed job descriptions so all employees know their responsibilities and chain of command
- Providing initial detailed training; maintain with on-going refreshers as needed
13. Hold a Grand Opening Advertise your grand opening and bring the customers in. Welcome to your dream venture!

text: nighthawk V.I.P. Member Posts: 333 (9/14/01 12:13:56 pm) | Del All FYI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trying to get back to normal,,(me??normal??) anyway, thought I would post a little info about some of my (probably boring to most) duties in VN Upon arrival of all Army personnel initially assigned to MACV, they were added to a punched-card database. This is where I worked. This database was used for strength accounting as well as unit readiness, personal qualifications, promotions, etc. In some instances, these were classified units. I am sure most of you know all the unit designations (i.e. SOG, etc.). If the GI was attached to a civilian organization or another service unit, that soldier was carried in a TDY status in a separate file set up for that purpose. Now, some people were assigned directly from the States to a "classified" unit or organization, and some of these we had no record of, but in the most part, we had files on almost every GI in MACV. I had a safe behind my desk where I kept these classified card files. There were various transaction codes for the status of troops, such as "present for duty", "wounded, in hospital", "ill, in hospital", and of course, "KIA". These codes were utilized, regarding assignments, departures, TDY, attachments, etc., based on reporting date on orders. The difficult part was if a person was attached to one of the "ghost" units and was KIA, we would get a Morning Report and orders saying he was "relieved from attached and returned to parent unit". When the soldier failed to return to his parent unit by the "reporting date", they would have to show him as "MIA" or a term called "assigned, not joined". This left the soldiers sort of in limbo. I suppose after the war this was resolved by declaring these troops as KIA. Not sure. For those assigned or attached directly from the states to a "spook" unit, there were no morning reports for verification of the individual's status. On numerous occasions, a senior officer (usually the same one) would come by and give me a name to remove from file. The individual files on these soldiers were very small, containing relatively little information. Usually, just name, perhaps rank and MOS, and unit. I always figured even this info was probably bogus. With these files, we never used any of the above transaction codes. I just pulled the cards and destroyed them. If a person returned to the states, I would get a memo from the officer, but he always came in person to notify me of a death. We produced a lot of reports on these files, some of which were forwarded to DA, some for HQ, MACV, and some for commanders of the smaller units. The small classified files I maintained were used sparingly. I would only run about 3 reports per month on them and those reports were hand carried (by me most of the time) directly to the DCSOPS, MACV (Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations-MACV). By the way, yes, this is all unclassified now!! I guess the main point of this comment is it always made me uneasy when that officer would walk into my office. It had to mean a person had died. I think this LTC had a sense of duty and respect towards those he had to "send in harms way". That is why, I believe, he personally came to take care of the job. Just a little info for you Stan H ,, nighthawk dap22 Senior Chief Moderator II Posts: 1172 (9/14/01 12:44:35 pm) | Del ezSupporter Re: FYI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would think that knowledge of unit codes, status, and designation would be helpful should you discuss such things with a wannabe. Stolen Valor brought to light the fact that there are probably far more fakes and wannabes around than we realize. nighthawk V.I.P.

Member Posts: 200 (9/14/01 11:12:28 pm) | Del Re: FYI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very interesting, Stan. I can imagine that keeping track of all the folks over there was a very difficult task. LarryD Misterstan Moderator Posts: 616 (9/15/01 7:03:35 pm) | Del Re: FYI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nighthawk, I know what you mean about keeping good records. Whenever our ship would get underway, we had to type a new up-to-date ship's roster and put it in the mail. In those days we didn't have computers, so everything had to be typed by hand. If you made a typo, you had to retype the entire form all over again. Once in a while we would carry soldiers and sailors from other units from point A to point B. Each time, we had to add them to our list before we got underway. Our ship seldom stayed in one place more than a few days. Then our ship was decommissioned on July 1, 1970, in Taiwan. Talk about a ton of paperwork! Stan Lambert St. Clair Shores, Michigan

What a year this year has been for those fans
Who went from worst place, to wanting first place--
Ignoring teams with more skin in the race--
As though decreed from some omniscient plan!
A playoff spot can't stop the jeering chorus
Of second-guessing and reminiscing
From almost experts so plainly missing
The bounties this season's brought before us.
We've risen from the ashes. This is clear.
Foundations have been laid for coming years.
Our rivals won't look forward to our games,
One February soon they'll feel the dread.
The Red Storm's rising out of Arrowhead!

Rider wins race on horse destined for knacker's yard
Equine insurance policyholders may be interested to hear that a jockey recently won an event at Flagg Races on a horse that had been scheduled to head to the knacker's yard.
Mark Caley from Buxton took the trophy in the High Peak Hunt's Members Race on mount Twist and Shout and revealed that the sturdy animal had been destined to meet its end prior to being picked up by him.
"The horse was going to be put down the next day when I first saw him," he told the Sheffield Star. "I went and bought him for £350. There was nothing wrong with him, though his legs were a bit heavy."
However, this trait may have in part helped Twist and Shout's performance on Tuesday (April 26th), as Caley said he "loves the hard ground".
Earlier this week, eventer Mark Todd achieved a momentous feat at Badminton Horse Trials, taking the trophy 31 years after first lifting the cup at the competition.

News: Juvenile Addresses Child Custody Battle & Cash Money Woes, "I Wanted To Be Compensated For My Work" [Video]
Sunday, Apr 22, 2012 11:09AM
Former Cash Money Records rapper Juvenile recently discussed his departuare from Birdman's label in the early 2000's and provided an update on his current child custody battle.
First focusing on Cash Money, Juvie said compensation issues forced him to leave the music empire in 2002.
I wanted to stay," Juve said in an interview "You never wanna leave a winning team. That's like [Michael] Jordan leaving the Bulls. I just felt like I wanted to be compensated for my work, I just wanted to get paid for it. ... Once the success came, things started switching up and I was paying attention. ... [Child custody battle?] if you want to know what the situation is, I want custody of my son. That's all that is." (Power 105.1)
Back in January, ex-Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh called out the label over money woes.
"We still have money issues. We will always have them, as long as Cash Money is selling anything that has Mannie Fresh on it. 'Til this day, I'm like, "Dude, what's going on? Where are the statements for this?" There's always some kind of complication, that's all I can say," Fresh said in an interview. "Everybody has to get paid. It would be something large if Cash Money did a tour with the first generation of artists, but with everything that's happened, we need money upfront and on top of that we all need our own attorneys. You don't get my money and pay me-I get my money directly." (Billboard)
A couple weeks ago, Juve clarified reports claiming he wanted a paternity test for his thirteen year-old son.
Rapper Juvenile tells TMZ ... he strongly believes he's the biological father of his 13-year-old son ... and claims he only demanded a paternity test as a procedural step to "get custody" of the kid. Juvenile recently filed court docs, demanding the test ... claiming he never established paternity when his son was born and didn't even sign the birth certificate at the time. He also claimed the boy's mother has had sexual relations with other people ... so there's a chance he's not the real daddy. But despite what he said in the court papers, Juv tells TMZ ... "My son acts and looks just like me. I am doing this for procedural reasons to get custody." (TMZ)
The same week, reports emerged online detailing Juve's paternity test request.
Juvenile has been a bit absent from the music community, but it looks like he's been battling a bit more than just trying to sell records these days. The "Back That Azz Up" rapper has been playing Dad for the last 13 years, with a baby mama requesting child support; even though their son stays with him a majority of the time. But recently Juvy has had an arrest warrant out for his supposed skipped child support payments totaling somewhere around $160,000. Perhaps he's never paid? Either way, Juvenile has taken this situation into his own hands and decided to file suit against his baby mama. (Fresh Like Dougie)

The jolly green retailer that somehow isn't a retailer grew turnover 10.4% to R38.459billion for the year to September, while operating profit was 7.8% higher at R1.404billion. Wholesale turnover increased by 8.6% to R31.9billion. Retail trading space was up by 3% with the opening of 25 new stores, for a total of 859. Of these, it added another 5 to its in-house retail division, for a total of 10, although sadly those stores are not contributing vastly to the swag, with the division losing R29.9million for the year. On the upside, liquor was strong like witblits, with TOPS lifting turnover to the tune of 19.9% for a total of R2.6billion, and wholesale sales in hardware up 18.2% to R3.9billion over at Build it on a Saturday morning.
Comment: Powerful, confident stuff for a business which hit its stride some years back and like that feller on our favourite bottle of scotch has just kept walking.

After decades of safari suits and Lion Lager on the board, Shoprite has signalled its willingness to appoint die vroumens to the board of SA's butchest retailer. Within months, it says, there will be two women (of some stature, they assure us) in the burgundy leather boardroom down in Brackenfell. And these women will not even be required to conceal their ankles in public. About time, we hear you mutter. Some of you, anyway. But the average punter has not been so vocal. This might be because, when it comes to just knuckling down and showing us the money, Shoprite has never stinted. And so it continues. For the three months ending September, real turnover was up by 7%, with sales in the South African arm up by 10.8% and Africa by 13.9%. This pleasing trend has caused the Big Red One to wax bullish about its festive prospects. Comment: Nice work, gents. And of course ladies. At some point.
Business Day 31/10/11, IOL 01/11/11
Sales at the actual Clicks division of the Clicks Group were up 13% to R9,79bn for the year to August. Of this, price increases contributed only 1%, with volume increases of anyone? 12% accounting for the balance. Like store sales were up 7.5% by volume and 8.5% in value. The rest of the business, not so good. Musica, for whom we have an unbelievable business model if they're interested, saw pre-tax profit decline 40% to R31,4m, Body Shop grew profit just 4% to R20,6m while UPD's pre-tax profit slid 20% to R130m, and this is unlikely to improve much with 2012's freeze on medicine prices. But Clicks, ah, Clicks, now. 32 new pharmacies for a total of 283, and store numbers which grew by 31 to 400.
Comment: They may be a one trick pony right now. But it's a hell of a good trick.
Financial Mail 03/11/11
In Mozambique, the Big Feller is getting into this whole trendy micro-brew artisanal thing everyone is getting so excited about, making a beer out of the local root Cassava under the Impala brand, which, it hopes, will capture an eventual 10% of the market. Impala will go up against mainstream beers, priced at around 75% of the average, and also against local home brews, which are about a third of the price, but which often contain lumps. One of the challenges of the Mozambican market is the locals' stubborn insistence upon not drinking nearly as much as they should in order to support a vast multinational brewer in their market. Mozambicans consume around 8 litres of beer per capita every year, compared with 60litres on the thirsty side of the border.
Comment: One of the many great things about cassava beer is that you brew it using ingredients bought inexpensively from local farmers. A win/win situation if you're familiar with the expression.
Business Day 02/11/11
Sugar and Golf Estate barons Tongaat Hulett have released a tidy set of interims for the six months to September and the word we believe you are seeking is "corker": revenue up 27.6% to R6.027bn and profit from operations expected to increase to R1.047bn from R963m, of which the increase in profit from operations will be 25.7%. The crop is 14% bigger than the 1million tons produced in 2010/11. But all is not green and gold in the Land of Sugar Production, we are told. The South African Sugar Association (Sasa) says that it is damnably difficult to earn a crust making the sweet, crunchy stuff, and that if the government has a shred of decency it will let beleaguered producers venture more robustly into large-scale power generation and ethanol production. The industry produces 20-million tons of cane each year, the biomass of which is equivalent to 1,75-million tons of coal with a power-generation potential of 1,6GWh. Comment: And who among us would not love to drive a gold plated roller with a bevy of willing concubines in the back seat?
Business Day 01/11/11, Fastmoving 07/11/11
Kraft Foods, recent acquirer of Cadbury's, is launching a 3-in-1 dispenser unit to the informal trade, in which hawkers will be able to display the popular Hall's, Chocolate Éclairs and Chappies brands together. The very cool thing about the project is not simply that it brings a degree of affordable formality to informal retail, but that it does so to the benefit of the Awethu Project's youth entrepreneurship programme, which aims to produce world-class entrepreneurs from under-resourced backgrounds in South Africa. One of Awethu's first entrepreneurs, Chris Pienaar, will be punting the units to spaza shops, hawkers and general dealers in Alexandra from later this month. Awethu has recently been recognised with a major global social entrepreneurship award.
Comment: Another thing we love is that businesses like Kraft take the embattled pavement sector so seriously. Nice one, everyone.
BizCommunity 02/11/11
Bad news for those enterprises which earn a living by allowing punters to run up an ultimately crippling tab over at the Savings and Loan is that consumer debt is still headed south. Growth in private-sector credit extension slowed to 5.5% YOY in September, down from 6% in August and well below expectations among beard-tugging economists for a 5.9% increase. What on earth is going on, you ask, and we'll tell you: it would appear that consumers are already burdened by high levels of debt and are reluctant (or indeed prevented from) taking on any more. This is borne out by the similarly depressed household borrowing numbers, which grew at an annual rate of 5% in September after an increase of 5.2% in August. The worry here – even for non-credit businesses – is that consumer spending is one of economy's major growth engines. Comment: Although the messages if you happen to be a consumer, as many of you doubtless are, are confusing: Borrow! Spend! Whoah! Stop! Now shove it all under the mattress as if you are Japanese!
Business Week 01/11/11
Last week, leaders from business, the government and organised labour signed an accord which set a target to procure at least 75% of supplies from locally based companies to protect and create jobs and enterprises, and also if we know Mr Ebrahim Patel to prove some sort of a point. Fifteen companies with a combined annual turnover of about R350billion pledged their support in the accord, and anyone who could supply us with a list of those will get a free subscription to the Trade Tatler. Probably.

The paper proposes a set of feasibility criteria to assist decision makers to make an informed decision and assess whether an NCF is a feasible option for a country. It also presents important design and management features of NCFs.
The Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2012 identifies global climate finance flows of USD 364 billion in 2011. The private sector provided the majority of finance, mostly from developed countries. The public sector acted as a catalyst for private investment by providing incentives and concessional loans, as well as bilateral aid to developing countries. Public and private intermediaries, especially national development banks and commercial banks, played an important role in channeling as well as raising climate finance.
This guidebook is intended to address challenges in accessing climate finance and assist developing countries in speeding up the transfer, deployment, and diffusion of mitigation technologies, enabling to contribute to climate change mitigation and reduce climate change impacts while pursuing national development goals. Over 100 public and private funding sources are analyzed and their main features and application requirements and procedures presented. A general section provides guidance on how to prepare high quality project and programme proposals.
In light of the benefits that the CDM can bring to lesser developed regions, the Nairobi Framework partners and others began funding technical support and capacity-building programmes for the CDM, particularly in Africa. The following document provides a short description of the most important financing and support opportunities available for CDM projects in Africa.
The total value of the carbon market grew by 11 percent in 2011, to $176 billion, and transaction volumes reached a new high of 10.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) according to a new report from the World Bank. The report, State and Trends of the Carbon Market 2012, shows that this growth took place in the face of economic turbulence, growing long-term oversupply in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and plummeting carbon prices.
The paper presents a framework for understanding what it means to be "ready" to plan for, access, deliver, and monitor climate finance in a transformative way at the national level. The aim is provide policy-makers with an overall lens through which readiness and preparatory activities offered by a range of international, regional, and national partners can be organised.
Finanzas Carbono, the Carbon Finance Platform for Latin America is an initiative of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in collaboration with the World Bank Institute and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The main objectives of the Carbon Finance Platform are to: (1) Strengthen the capacity of key actors in the public and private sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean, to participate actively in the carbon markets (both compliance and voluntary carbon markets); (2) Support the decision making based on lessons learned, best practices and information sharing; (3)
This paper provides an overview of the concept of direct access to funding for climate change actions in developing countries. It focuses on the institutional arrangements that are necessary to facilitate and support direct access and is intended to inform the current and future discussions on direct access modalities, including within the design process for the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The paper begins by looking at what the term 'direct access' implies, what it is seeking to achieve, and how it has been defined to-date.

In recent years, through new technologies and research into the brain and the psycho-social development of human beings, we have gained a greater understanding of the importance of Attachment and Trauma Informed Practice in supporting the recovery of people with trauma histories. These findings have been backed by over 100 years of research and practice in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, community psychology, neuroscience and clinical practice from around the world.
As a 'Knowledge Centre' that works in collaboration with organisations and learning institutions around the world to advance the field of attachment and trauma informed practice through community debate, education, training, consultancy and research, Lighthouse Institute is excited to bring this historical event to Australia.
Many of the world leaders in attachment and trauma informed research and practice will be participating in this exciting event. Presenters and Panel Members include:
- Bernie Geary (Principal Commissioner for Children and Young People Victoria)
- Dr Michael Merzenich (Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco, Leading Neuroscientist specialising in Neuroplasticity)
- Professor Patrick McGorry (Former Australian of the Year, Orygen Youth Health Research Centre Executive Director)
- Dr Cathy Kezelman (Trauma Survivor, Medical Doctor, President of Adults Surviving Child Abuse)
- Patrick Tomlinson (Child Trauma Expert and Trauma Informed Systems Consultant)
- Deborra-lee Furness (Internationally acclaimed actress as well as a passionate supporter of children and defender of their human rights across the globe)
- Moira Kelly AO (Humanitarian, Ambassador of Carers Victoria, Founder of Children First Foundation, Founder of Global Gardens of Peace)
I encourage anyone interested in attachment and trauma informed practice to register now to avoid disappointment.
I look forward to seeing you at the Conference, and learning from your experiences in this very important field of research and practice.

Donna Summer Biography
Once upon a time, a young girl stood in front of the parishioners in a Boston church. She opened her mouth to sing, and a huge voice came out - moving the congregation to tears. At that moment the girl heard the voice of God tell her, "You're gonna be famous." From that time on, the girl knew that she was destined for greatness. That girl grew up to become Donna Summer.
Most people know about her hits. Great songs like "Last Dance", Hot Stuff", "On The Radio" and "She Works Hard For The Money." What most people don't know is that Donna started off as Donna Gaines in a rock band called The Crow. And that when the band broke up, she left school to be in the German production of the the musical Hair. Once in Germany, there was no stopping Donna. She was active in musical theater, playing in such shows as Showboat, Porgy And Bess, and The Me Nobody Knows, and in 1971 she cut her first solo record, "Sally Go 'Round The Roses"
By 1974, and now going by the name Donna Summer, she was doing a great deal of session work which brought her into contact with producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Together they recorded "The Hostage", a song which became Donna's first hit in Europe. An album and a few more European hits followed. Then in 1975, Donna recorded "Love To Love You Baby", the song that finally brought her success in America. The rest is history.
Since then she has racked up fourteen top ten hits, four number one singles, three platinum albums, five Grammy awards and twelve other Grammy nominations. She is the first female artist to have three number one solo singles in one year ("MacArthur Park", "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls") and she is the only artist to have three number one double albums in a row (Live And More, Bad Girls, and On The Radio).
Over the years Donna has proven herself to be a consummate artist and songwriter - she has written or cowritten many of her hits, and is currently writing a musical based on her life story. Most recently she has done a benefit performance for GHMC at Carnegie Hall that raised over $400,000 for that organization. She has also inked a multi-album deal with Epic Records and her first release her new label will be a live cd recorded at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. This concert was also videotaped and will air on VH1 sometime in the summer of 1999. Twenty years after her biggest success, Donna is poised for a major comeback. And no one deserves it more.

Donna - Rest In Peace | Reviewer: Forestkaat | 6/2/12
She was so multi-talented: singer, songwriter, actress, painter & producer while also being a giving mother, loving wife & wonderful friend to so many around the world. Donna was so much more than just the "Queen of Disco". May her voice echo forever on the radio & beyond.
Donna Summer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/11
Looking for some things to do this evening,I'm looking for a place to have fun. Looking for a place to dance now honey, a place to have a dance of my own. She is hot stuff and has worked hard for the money.

Video streaming service Oculu said last week that it had brought a trademark infringement lawsuit against Oculus in U.S. federal court, claiming that consumers might confuse its brand with that of the 3D headset maker.
In the case, filed in the Central District for California, Oculu alleges "false designation of origin, trademark dilution and unfair competition," according to a lawyer for the claimant.
The video-streaming firm suspects that the headset maker is also building a network to "stream audio and video by means of the Internet" to its headset, attorney John Kristensen said, as quoted by PCMag. Streaming audio and video is already part of Oculus' roadmap for its gaming headset Rift and according to the attorney, Oculus' plans to develop its own Internet streaming service were relevant to the case of his client.
Ars Technica commented that the Rift demos shown by Oculus did reveal that the device would be used to display movies in a virtual theatre, but currently there is no information about any streaming video component for the Rift.
Oculu registered its trademark in 2010; two years before Oculus's creation. When the video streaming service filed its first complaint, it stated that the start-up could have chosen from a number of names instead of simply adding an "s" to its trademark. The lawsuit also alleged that Oculus approached Oculu to talk about buying the domain name of the streaming service, which could imply that Oculus founder Palmer Luckey was aware that the names might confuse consumers.
Do you see a likelihood of confusion?

Municipal de Fútbol, where Angelenos do not fear to tread
Holy Virgin Mary Coptic Orthodox Church at 4900 Cleland Avenue blends fútbol and faith in five-a-side format. (Photograph © 2008 Michael Wells from Municipal de Fútbol, © 2008 Christoph Keller Editions, Textfield. Used by permission.)
Doyle's eye takes in fútbol's intrinsically political aspects. She lives near Bellevue Park in the Rampart district, space designated in 1996 for $2 million in improvements that took 10 years to achieve. An online report glosses over background to the decision by a citizens' committee to make Bellevue more pastoral in character, with baseball fields as centerpiece. Closed for nearly two years, the park reopened in 2006 with strategically placed boulders to help prevent pickup soccer games and with signs to make the point clear: "No Soccer/No Fútbol." Area residents had connected "rough and tumble" pickup games that used to feature at the park to drug trafficking and guns, demonstrating how soccer, Latinos and crime quickly become linked in public imagination. "You can't talk about fútbol and parks in Los Angeles without stirring up passion and making people nervous," Doyle writes, adding later:
[T]he resistance to fútbol is a form of border patrol, an attempt to regulate the culture of public space in a city whose identity has, since at least the 1950s, been bound up in the dream of bourgeois privacy—home ownership and tossing a baseball around with your kid in your own back yard. (Municipal de Fútbol, 79).
Los Angeles suffers from an open-space shortage; according to the LA Times, only 33 percent of city residents live within a quarter-mile of a park. Last summer, the first new downtown park since 1895 opened to help address what advocates call a "nature deficit disorder" and latent discrimination in denying recreation to poorer sections of the city.
Further evidence of how fútbol revises the suburban stereotypes of American soccer are the presence of mixed-ethnicity women's teams in the municipal leagues. Doyle writes that women players have pushed outside their comfort zones such that soccer becomes a stronger bond than identification as Latina, Filipina, Anglo and so on. The Times last year profiled a side of Guatemalan women who have been playing as an adjunct to an independent youth league in MacArthur Park—setting for early scenes in the schlocky FIFA-backed serial Goal: The Dream Begins. Curiously, being able to play a sport denied them in Guatemala has made them feel more like Americans with, according to one player, "the freedom to play for yourself" (see 30 Jun 07 on the documentary Estrellas de la Línea, produced in Guatemala City).
Soccer also has transformed Doyle's relationship to the city by breaking down entrenched socioeconomic patterns. Perhaps the latest big-budget AEG transfer, Marta Vieira da Silva of Los Angeles Sol, will find more success connecting to the grassroots than Becks could manage. Doyle issues an invitation from the center of the pitch at Lafayette: "I am here, and I am ready to play."

Tim Flannery's putting together a benefit show for the continuing recovery costs of Bryan Stow. He asked my dad, who does some local bluegrass/Americana promotion, to spread the word, and my dad in turn asked me. So here you guys go. You should check it out, especially if you enjoyed Hardly Strictly this year.
Here's the press release:
A musical benefit for San Francisco Giants' fan Bryan Stow is scheduled for Wednesday, November 9th at Yoshi's in San Francisco. Giants' third-base coach and bluegrass musician Tim Flannery headlines the event with his band Lunatic Fringe. Also on the bill are Randi Driscoll, Turi and Brent McClain, Dennis Caplinger, Jeff Berkley, and Dean Smith. Comcast SportsNet personality Amy Gutierrez will serve as master of ceremonies.
Stow, a San Francisco paramedic, was brutally attacked in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium following the 2011 season opener between the Giants and Dodgers. He recently transferred to a rehabilitation facility after five months in the hospital, and while there are hopeful signs for recovery, a long and difficult road remains ahead for Stow and his family.
Yoshi's reached out to Flannery, who has bridged the world of baseball and bluegrass music for decades, to put together an evening of entertainment for a good cause. A native of Kentucky, Flannery has performed bluegrass, folk, and original music for many years in the San Diego area, where he played and coached before taking a post with the Giants.
Flannery's decision to join the benefit is typical of the outpouring of support that Stow and his family have received from Giants' players, coaches, and fans.
"We've all been affected by this hate crime," said Flannery. "We want to help and we have the entire Stow family in our prayers."
Flannery has used his music to benefit good causes in the past, such as donating proceeds from CD sales to bring underprivileged children to baseball games. He's mixed his talents for baseball and music throughout his career and makes a point to check out the local music scene wherever his team's travels take him. And wherever he goes, his guitar goes too.
"I go nowhere without Loretta," said Tim. "That's my guitar's name. I do most of my writing during the baseball season."
What do the Giants' players and coaches think about their guitar-pickin' third-base coach?
"That he's full of passion has 11 records out and loves mountain music. Every time we play Cincinnati my brother comes down from the mountains of Kentucky with our mother's milking jars," Flannery chuckled.

This time its is chasing Spanish cable operator – Ono
Reports emerged yesterday [February 9th 2014], that leading MNO [Mobile Network Operator] and Britain's second largest company, Vodafone, has tabled a bid to acquire Spanish cable operator, Ono. The perceived wisdoom is, of course, that Vodafone wants the cable company so that it can provide a 'fourplay' offering to its Spanish customers. The four being TV, fixed line telephone, broadband and mobile. GoMo News isn't so keen on fourplay because of the potential to lose all four services simultaneously if a customer churns. Network backbone is different, of course.
Whilst it may look good if you can offer fixed line broadband, it's also extremely useful as an MNO if you also happen to own an optical fibre network. Like Ono's, for example.
The best way of offering a really good 4G network as an MNO is, of course, if you can utilise plenty of optical fibre capacity for your own back bone network.
And, of course, with the Spanish economy being in something of a sorry state at present, now would be a good time to acquire Spanish assets.
Especially if you happen to be sitting on a very large warchest (think £1.3 billion) with the impending sale of Vodafone's stake in Verizon Wireless.
Another happy co-incidence is the fact that the current Vodafone CEO, Vittorio Colao, just happens to be Italian.
So he must know a thing or two about the Italian market. Which has led to rumours that Vodafone's next fourplay move might be in Italy, where it seems to have taken a fancy to Fastweb.

At this point, any sane society would be moving very aggressively to build its way back out of cars-first transportation. Part of that effort would be steep taxes on gas guzzlers.
In the United States, where we not only don't begrudge people getting rich, we don't even allow them to be questioned, what are we getting?
DETROIT — It's diet time for the once best-selling SUV in America.
The redesigned Ford Explorer has been slimmed down for 2011 and transferred to a car-based platform. And it no longer will be a gas-guzzling hulk with a V-8 under the hood.
Ford Motor Co. said today that the redesigned 2011 model — equipped with an optional, two-liter EcoBoost I4 engine — will achieve a 30 percent increase in fuel efficiency compared with the current V-6-equipped Explorer. EcoBoost has delivered similar fuel economy gains in other cars and trucks.
The current Explorer equipped with two-wheel drive and a four-liter V-6 is rated at 14 mpg city/20 highway. With a 30 percent increase in fuel economy, the EcoBoost-equipped Explorer should deliver 18/26.
Eighteen miles per gallon.
In the car-pushing trade, this is what's called "hitting the mark":
"We believe we've hit the mark with the next-generation Explorer," Mark Fields, head of Ford's Americas unit, said in statement. "It has the potential to change perceptions of what a modern SUV is all about."
In honest language, this is the same old same old: Capitalists selling the largest possible vehicles, the planet and its people be damned. "Hitting the mark" means figuring out how much waste you can get away with under new conditions.

Just received a forward of a new moveon.org appeal. The group, founded to protect the horrendous Bill Clinton from facing perjury charges, wants us all to join Presidents Bush and Obama in their diagnosis of "our" disease and then "tell" Congress* "It's time for a bold plan to get America off of oil. Please learn from the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and take action to end the U.S. addiction to oil."
Hey, dipshits: It's cars, not oil. And its capitalists, not "us."
*The last time a major "highway bill" was before Congress, in 2005, it passed 503-12, with all 12 of the nays coming from ultra-right Republicans happy to get a puffball chance to grandstand their supposed hatred of government spending. Zero Democrats spoke or voted against the bill, which reduced the "traditional" share of money going to public transportation.
Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!
