Before this year, Majedie Asset Management had rolled out just five products since it was established in 2002 – one of which was a concentrated version of another. By those standards, 2014 has seen riotous activity, with the summer launches of a US equities fund and two global funds adding to the existing line-up of UK equity and global long/short funds.

Diary of an Investor: Generation games

A-shares on the rise
There are signs that European institutional investors find Chinese equities interesting. Finland's Ilmarinen now separates China equity holdings (A and H-shares), in its reports, and Denmark's AP Pension has boosted its China equity exposure to 5%, although it has excluded domestic property and banks.
That's about the size of it
In late September, one of the world's largest pension funds ditched its hedge funds, and one of the world's largest mutual funds lost its manager. One decision made sense, but not for the reasons most commentators put forward. The other made sense, despite all the focus on the nonsense surrounding it.

Demolition Recommended At Ohio Uranium Plant Site
The federal government recommends demolishing over 200 buildings at the site of a former Cold War-era uranium plant in southern Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services says the state jobless rate was 7.2 percent last month. That's down from 7.4 percent in November but higher than the 6.7 percent reported for December 2012.

Could you imagine Kae with some double Ds? Hmmmm
Karrueche Speaks On Boob Jobs, Chris Brown, Haters And More
Karrueche Tran has been continuously slandered and criticized by the public from the first day she was caught on camera coupled up with Chris Brown a few years ago, but despite it all, she continues to stick by his side and says she's pushing forward with a positive outlook.
She recently stopped by "The No Judgement Zone" to chat it up with Blogxilla up about everything from her relationship with Chris, to haters to heartbreak and more. Check out a few excerpts from the interview below.
On her haters:
It's kind of hard and annoying because these people just say whatever they want. Anything I do, they are like 'you couldn't launch your line… you're a dumb b! You're whack.' Just stupid stuff that's just like, you can't even spell my name or say my name first of all.
I try my best to ignore it and look on the positive side because at the end of the day, they don't know who I am and they are judging me based off of their own opinion so I just stay on the positive side.
On finding herself:
I've discovered myself a little more, personality wise just being put through certain situations, whether being in the spotlight, heartbreak, friends coming and going, family. I've grown and I've matured and I kind of like that.
Even going back to the haters, it's messed up what they say but that's made me stronger and it's built me into who I am today and I am completely fine with that."
Kae also spoke on her relationship with Chris, getting a boob job and going through heartbreak with the world watching. See what else she had to say on the flip.

The council of Port of Tallinn approved an investment of 1.8 million euros for deepening the aquatory of Paldiski South Harbor in order to enable the harbour to accept bigger vessels with total tonnage up to 75,000 GT. With the help of the investment aimed to increase the competitiveness of Paldiski South Harbor the channel and turning circle of the aquatory will be deepened from current 13.5 meters to 14.5 meters.
"Paldiski South Harbor today is a regional cargo harbour oriented towards handling both, the Estonian export and import cargo and specific transit goods," said Remo Holsmer, the Chairman of the Council of Port of Tallinn. "The investment in increasing the competitiveness of Paldiski South Harbor is made while looking into the future and the aim is to satisfy the future needs of present clients as well as raise harbor's attractiveness for new potential clients."
The core activity of Paldiski South Harbor is focused today on the handling of ro-ro cargo, scrap metal, timber, peat and oil products. Developing fields of activity include transit of new cars for neighbouring markets and pre-sale service.
Port of Tallinn is Estonia's biggest harbor complex that completely belongs to the state. For 2014, Port of Tallinn forecasts 8% growth of operational income (that will reach 111 million euros) and the net profit of 37 million euros. The expected growth of turnover of goods is slightly below 2% (reaching 29 million tons), while the number of passengers serviced by the port is to remain on last year's level of 9.19 million people.

To Be of Use
Exploring the gripping bond between clinical depression and music.
By Tom Ewing , June 17, 2011
My first depressive episode was in my early teens. Children are creatures of enforced routine, and depression fit into mine: I'd fall into it as the light failed, sometime between coming home from school and supper. My most vivid memory is of a drive through the Lake District, a gray and green landscape of slate and grass. At half past four I was looking out of the window, enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery in England. At five I was imagining that same scenery with mushroom clouds in the distance-- sheep vaporized nearer the blast zone, the car veering off the road as my parents' eyes were boiled in their sockets by nuclear fire. And so on. It sounds ridiculous-- it was ridiculous, a switch flipped in my head and I was overwhelmed by the corniest atom-age paranoia. It wasn't always the bomb, but that episode fit the routine: every evening for a month, two or three hours of crushing hopelessness until I calmed down with bed and a book. It was so absurd, in fact, that I never imagined I could be ill: I was just ashamed of being so horridly teenage.
But after that I had other bouts of depression, enough to realize I was indeed ill. My symptoms didn't generally have such lurid backdrops, though sometimes there was a trigger-- an outbreak of disease or war, something my brain could use as an excuse to claw at itself. Mostly it was the dull, loathsome symptoms familiar from accounts of depression-- the flatness of the world, the sense of narrowing possibilities, the gravity of despair that makes action so difficult. But this isn't really a piece about being depressed-- it's tedious to describe, let alone to suffer from, and besides, I'm lucky: Mine struck rarely and responded to treatment.
Depression could lead to my consuming music with an awful hunger, obsessively wringing the use out of records.
What I want to do instead is talk about depression and pop music. Because my depressive episodes had soundtracks. Along with the mushroom clouds, what I remember from that first encounter was Low-Life by New Order. Depression can make listening to music hard-- it can make doing anything hard-- so some of the emptiest parts had no soundtrack. But it could also lead to my consuming music with an awful hunger, obsessively wringing the use out of records. I plugged the self-holed gaps with music, and I bled that music dry.
Every depression is different, but when I asked people on Tumblr about their memories of music and depression, I got some amazing and moving replies, many chiming with my own experience. "It feels like listening to music that I only turn to at the worst of times in any other mood is disrespectful to it," wrote one anonymous responder. This seems exactly right. Initially, I thought it was hard to go back to my depression soundtracks because I'd vampirized those records entirely, reduced them to husks with little relevance for a healthier me. But the truth is less that I'm over them and more that I'm frightened of them: I put so much of myself into them, at such an intense time, that there's a lingering malignancy and power in them.
What music, though? I've avoided the specifics so far because I think the way I used the records was quite far removed from anything inherent in them. There are a lot of lazy associations about which music is or isn't "depressing" that have nothing to do with the kind of illness I'm talking about. Music can't cause depression, but that isn't to say it can't resonate and sometimes even help.
But let's look at the lazy links first. For a start, there's music which is theatrically miserable, a performance of sadness which can have all sorts of effects, including but hardly limited to empathizing with the gloom. Morrissey sometimes sits here, of course, but so does a lot of soul music. Tellingly, though, I became very used to people briskly telling me to ditch the Smiths because it was "sad" music, and have never once endured a similar reaction to "Drown in My Own Tears" or "Seven Rooms of Gloom". The judgement is based on cultural associations far more than content.
Songs about depression aren't uncommon, but it's rarer to find music that sounds like depression.
I adore the theatrical in music, but I hardly ever listened to that kind of thing when I was clinically depressed. Because such pop was inauthentic, one may think, and as a depressive I could see through its triviality? No, because it existed in a state of intimate distance-- it inhabited an emotion and stepped aside from it at the same time-- and that kind of empathy, for me, was impossible when I was in depression's selfish cocoon.
Songs which capture the specifics of depressive illness are a different matter, and sometimes I would latch onto these. When Manic Street Preachers' "From Despair to Where" came out, I disliked my enjoyment of it-- at all of 20 I felt too sophisticated for its stark, quotable sentiment: "I've poisoned every room in the house... I look at others as if they're drunk." But I couldn't deny that it perfectly caught the fog I'd fallen into-- that haze where it seemed like my interactions with people were false and slowed down, subject to some mysterious time delay: a symptom I learned to recognize as the onset of a depressive spell. The song became one of those I filled up, used up, and put away for good.
Recognizing your illness in a song is no different from recognizing your anger or love in one-- it's down to a lucky phrase here or there, a glint of the familiar that pulls you in. No pop song is universal, whatever its theme. A lot of music about depression, or by people who've suffered from it, leaves me cold or impatient-- not because of any fault in the music, but simply because it hasn't caught me the right way on the wrong day. Other songs I love but can't use. "I See a Darkness" is marvelous, but there's a dark swagger in it that's quite foreign to my experience of depression. But perhaps not to yours: Of all the things ill people have to deal with, the possessive demarcation of what's real illness and what isn't seems to me one of the most pernicious.
My use of pop when I was depressed interests me not just because I'm an inveterate self-diagnoser, but also because it seems like a more extreme version of how I use music all the time. People who criticize pop music for being ephemeral or disposable baffle me, because my favorite experiences with pop are often flings-- playing a song to pieces, until I don't want to hear it again and can just keep the memory. So my habits when ill were like a shadowy cousin of how I listen when well. I was just more aware-- in hindsight, anyway-- that I was using the records, not appreciating them or even enjoying them. Anything I couldn't cling to was discarded.
Bill Callahan's songs used taut, repeated guitar phrases to entrance and numb the listener... an effect that mirrored my depressive struggle to act.
Songs about depression aren't uncommon, but it's rarer to find music that sounds like depression. For obvious reasons, perhaps: As one respondent to my question put it, "If there was anything I'd listen to, it'd have to be something that goes nowhere, does nothing, just sits there inert. This generally doesn't make for good music, certainly nothing I'd listen to otherwise." But in my longest and worst illness, in 1997-98, this was just the quality I thought I'd found. The music that was most helpful that winter was dry and spartan, shut-in and private. Much of it wasn't song-based at all. Arnold Dreyblatt's Orchestra of Excited Strings was minimal, instrumental, and its aggressive flatness seemed perfect for my mood. Often it was no more than plucking individual strings again and again to give an acrid, metallic twang-- playing as scab-picking, I thought.
Dreyblatt's work also echoed the record I listened to the most that year, Smog's Red Apple Falls. Bill Callahan's songs used taut, repeated guitar phrases to entrance and numb the listener, creating a state where every lyric or melodic figure felt wrestled from the song against mighty odds-- an effect that mirrored my depressive struggle to act. And the lyrics stung too, full of impotence, impossible situations, and pathetic hopes. Callahan sung them a half-clause at a time, dredging the words up from some numb depth. "Most of my/ Fantasies/ Are of"-- the longest pause here-- "Making someone else come." He sounded abject.
Later, when I was better, I heard other Smog albums, but I would play them only once or twice. Much later, the other week in fact, I played Bill Callahan's new one, and enjoyed it a lot. His idiosyncratic approach to craft was intact. He could still be very funny. But again, I can't see myself coming back to it much, simply because it isn't Red Apple Falls. But no record could be, because so much of what I hear in that album wasn't put there by anyone who made it.
A record I do still listen to, the last from that time, is Jim O'Rourke's Bad Timing. In places, the sound of it approaches that shut-in picking I heard in Dreyblatt and Smog: Its long instrumental pieces include inert and thoughtful stretches, as if O'Rourke is deciding where they need to go next in real time. But here the music doesn't spiral in on itself, it gradually, shyly, opens out, adding instruments and melodies. It's one of my favorite and most precious records-- the sound, whether O'Rourke intended it as such or not, of feeling better.

WASHINGTON -- The harsh economic reality for black Americans and their national leaders here is that black unemployment is worsening under the policies of the first black president.
The sadder political reality is that these leaders, frustrated that blacks have the highest jobless rate among all other Americans, are going easy on President Obama, with polls showing virtually no decline in black support for him, at least not yet.
Even more depressing, black leaders are still calling for more of the same old economic bromides to deal with black unemployment, unwilling to break with leftist Democratic policies that have made things worse for their own people.
While the national unemployment rate for all Americans is at nearly 10 percent (17 percent if you count people who have given up looking for jobs or work only part time), the black jobless rate stands at 15.8 percent and a lot higher than that in states such as Michigan, New York and California.
Jobless statistics in key sectors of the black population are off the charts for younger blacks. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half of black males between the ages of 16 and 19 are unemployed.
If George W. Bush -- or any Republican, for that matter -- were still in the White House, black leaders would be pounding the White House for their failure to create more jobs. The nightly news programs would be running nonstop stories about inner-city unemployment and the bleak employment picture among minorities.
But as the jobless numbers worsened in black communities as well as across the country, the complaints among black leaders in Congress were few and far between or at least muted.
A recent front-page headline over a Washington Post story about black unemployment read, "Black Caucus frustrated but reluctant to say so," with the subhead that read, "Lawmakers think Obama should be doing more for African Americans, but they won't criticize him."
But as the situation grows more desperate among black Americans, who are beginning to see little or no evidence that they are benefiting from the nearly $1 trillion the president is spending on the jobs programs he has signed into law, black leaders are beginning to speak up. The first faint glimmers of political unrest are beginning to be seen and heard.
Increasingly disgruntled Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) leaders are now saying that White House officials have taken them for granted, believing that they would not publicly criticize one of their own.

M1 Crash: Man Arrested After Two Killed
A 25-year-old has been arrested after two men were killed in a crash on the M1.
The man, from East London, is being held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The collision between two black BMWs happened shortly before 2.40am, near Watford in Hertfordshire.
The crash, on the southbound carriageway between junctions four and five, forced the temporary closure of a section of the M1, leading to morning traffic chaos.
The men killed, aged 22 and 24, were one of the drivers and his rear seat passenger.
Two other passengers of the vehicle, who are both men, suffered serious injuries and were taken to a hospital in London.
The four men in the second car were also injured and were taken to hospital.
Those who escaped the wreckage started fighting with the occupants of a third car that had pulled over to lay blame over the death of their friends, the Evening Standard reported.
Basit Nasir, who witnessed the crash, told the newspaper: "They all jumped out and everybody started punching each other. They said, 'What have you done? You have killed them.'
"I tried to break up the fight and called the police from my mobile."
He also said: "It was total mayhem. There was mangled metal everywhere."

Pictured: The pregnant guard carrying convicted cop killer's baby shows as it's revealed he 'wanted a child so badly he
offered to CONFESS to murders in return for life sentence with conjugal visits'
- Ronell Wilson convicted in 2007 of shooting dead detectives James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews in 2003
- First federal defendant to receive death sentence in New York since 1954 before it was tossed on appeal
- Prison guard Nancy Gonzalez, 29, accused of having affair with Wilson last year
- Gonzalez is eight months pregnant with Wilson's baby and has another boyfriend in state prison
- In 2006, Wilson wanted to accept plea deal that would have sent him to a state prison with conjugal visits
- Rodney Andrews' father called for no leniency for Wilson and Gonzalez after pregnancy revelations
Expecting: Former prison guard Nancy Gonzalez poses on Facebook, showing off her baby bump as she prepares to give birth to the child of convicted cop killer Ronell Wilson
A convicted killer who impregnated a prison guard in an alleged plot to avoid the death penalty had been so desperate to father a child that he offered to confess to the murders of two detectives, according to his former lawyer.
Attorney Ephraim Savitt said that in 2006, his then-client Ronell Wilson was poised to accept a plea deal as part of which he would accept responsibility for the 2003 slayings of undercover detectives Rodney Andrews and James Nemorin and be sentenced to a life in prison.
'Wilson advised me that he would take the life deal — as
long as he could have conjugal visits — because he was determined to leave this
earth with a child of his own, to give his wasted life some meaning, Savitt
told the New York Post.
For Wilson to be allowed to meet with women behind bars, he would have had to be sent to a state prison, but his former attorney said that the negotiations with the prosecution never went that far because Attorney general Alberto Gonzalez rejected the proposed agreement.
On Tuesday, Wilson's former prison guard-turned-paramour Nancy Gonzalez, 29, was arrested for having an illicit affair with him and getting pregnant with his child in an alleged scheme to help him escape the death penalty.
Sources told The New York Post Wednesday that during his try with
Gonzalez last year, Wilson was also placing 'romantic' phone calls with three
other women from behind bars.
Illegal liaison: Federal prison guard Nancy Gonzalez, left, was arrested after police say she had an illicit affair with convicted cop killer Ronell Wilson, right, and became pregnant with his baby to save him from execution
Explanation: Gonzalez allegedly said in a recorded phone conversation that she was 'vulnerable' when she decided to start a relationship with Wilson in a bid to give him some 'hope'
In the aftermath of Gonzalez's arrest on suspicion that she had hatched a plot with Wilson to help save his life, the father of one of the slain officers, Rodney Andrews, spoke out against the idea that his son's killer should be shown leniency just because he got the woman pregnant.
'Put him to death for what he did,' Rodney Andrews Sr told New York Daily News. 'If he had 20 children, it wouldn't change my mind.'
The 72-year-old father went on to say that Ms Gonzalez does not deserve any mercy either.
Change of heart: On her MySpace page, Gonzalez summed up her attitude toward children thus: 'Love kids, but not for me'
On her Facebook page, Gonzalez posted a photo depicting herself proudly showing off her swollen pregnant belly in a tight yellow T-shirt with the world 'Love' printed across the front.
Interestingly enough, on her MySpace page, the 29-year-old described her attitude towards children thus: 'Love kids, but not for me.'
Gonzalez was arrested Tuesday on charges she intentionally had sex with Ronell Wilson while working the night shift at the Metropolitan Detention Center, which is against the law. She became pregnant in June, a few months into the affair, according to court papers.
Wilson was a young gang member when he was convicted in the point-blank shootings of two undercover officers in an illegal gun sting gone awry.
'I took a chance because I was so vulnerable and wanted to be loved and now I am carrying his child,' Gonzalez said, according to court papers.
Wilson was sentenced to death in the killing of officers Rodney Andrews and James Nemorin, but the sentence was thrown out in 2010 by an appeals court.
Victims: Detectives James Nemorin, left, and Rodney Andrews, right, were gunned down by Wilson during a drug bust gone awry in Staten Island in 2003
Legal complications: Wilson's death sentence was thrown out after an appeals court found that a prosecutor had vilified the convicted killer
A new jury must decide his fate. But replay of the trial's penalty phase has been put off as Wilson's lawyers seek to convince a judge that he's ineligible for the death penalty because he is mentally disabled.
On Tuesday, Gonzales, who is eight months pregnant, was taken into custody at her Long Island home, New York Daily News reported. She could face 15 years in prison if convicted.
According to a complaint, Wilson and Gonzales' scheme to help the convicted killer escape capital punishment was revealed by prison informants.
According to one inmate, he witnessed the 29-year-old female guard moving away from Wilson's cell door while he was standing there with his pants down.
The complaint made public Tuesday and cited by CBS New York stated that the inmate and guard had sex in a vacant activity room while Gonzalez was supposed to be checking up on prisoners. The two were caught on video talking or hours at her desk in the kitchen.
Military career: Before taking a job as a federal corrections officer, Gonzalez served in the U.S. Army
One of many: While carrying on an affair with Gonzalez, pictured, Wilson was allegedly wooing three other women from behind bars
The corrections officer came clean about her affair with Wilson, which lasted between March and August 2012, in a taped phone conversation with her boyfriend, who is serving time in a state prison.
Gonzalez allegedly said she 'kind of got sucked into his world' and 'why not give him a child as far as giving him some kind of hope.
'I can't explain it. I know what's to come. I know what is going to be said about me,' Gonzalez allegedly said. 'I know that for me as a parent, how am I going to explain this to this little boy?'
It remains unknown what effect the uncovered plot will have on Wilson's mental retardation claim. He still faces life in prison or death by lethal injection.
'If this was done by design, it's not the actions of a person who is mentally retarded,' said Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives Endowment Association. 'It's a devious plot to avoid the death penalty.'
Insanity claim: Wilson's defense attorney argued that he cannot be executed because he is mentally handicapped
Wilson was found guilty in December 2006 of shooting detectives James Nemorin, 36, and Rodney Andrews, 34, in the back of their heads in a car March 10, 2003 in Staten Island.
The following year, he was sentenced to death, making him the first federal defendant in New York to face capital punishment since 1954.
However, an appeals court reversed the sentence in 2010 claiming than a prosecutor violated Wilson's constitutional rights by making him out to be a villain.
Raymond Patterson, a noted psychiatrist who testified on behalf of the prosecution, told the New York Post that while Wilson suffers from anti-social personality disorder, he is not mentally handicapped.

TV Highlights
What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Series Overview
Genre: Comedy
Mr. Daggett Goes to Washington
Program Synopsis
Secret Service Agent Daggett is reassigned to guard the First Lady after he makes a mistake during a failed assassination attempt on the President. He struggles to bring some order to the unit where he must contend with Edward Pillows, a tall, handsome guy who fancies himself a great agent, but who can't quite get his act together, and Susan Cole, an overzealous female agent. In addition, Daggett has his hands full with the demanding First Lady, Judith Whitman, with whom he tries to establish a balanced relationship; the First Lady's secretary, Ginger Chin, a former grifter; Sullivan Pope, the power-mad First Lady's Chief of Staff; and the First Family's beautiful teenage daughter, Camilla, the world's biggest security risk.
Daggett's greatest challenge is the First Lady herself -- a larger-than-life character who is brilliant, but kooky; strong, but needy; and self-absorbed, but with an endless wealth of compassion. Her public mask hides a wounded politician's wife who is determined to assert herself and take a more proactive role in the administration -- even if doing so sets up rival camps between her staff and the President's team.

Baby left overnight in woods; mother held
SoVaNow.com / April 21, 2014
A Crystal Hill-area woman is behind bars on a charge of felony child abandonment after she confessed to police to leaving her five-month-old infant daughter outside in the woods for a 17-hour period this weekend.
Rachel Pittman, 25, of Hodges Street, located north of Crystal Hill, was charged with abandoning the infant after she first reported her daughter's disappearance to police Saturday morning around 7:45. According to Sheriff Fred Clark, Pittman initially told deputies that someone had entered her Hodges Street home Friday night after she and the baby had gone to sleep.
"The lady had said someone had stolen her five-month-old daughter sometime during the night," said Clark. According to Pittman's initial account, the alleged culprit had entered the home through a sliding glass door and snatched the baby away as both mother and child were sleeping across the room from each other.
"We knew what she was telling us didn't add up," said Clark.
Pittman was brought in to the Sheriff's Office later in the day Saturday for further questioning by lead investigator Lt. Mike Womack and Sheriff's Investigator Jeff Burton. During the interrogation, Clark said, Pittman made a startling confession: that on Friday night around 9 p.m., she had taken the baby and dropped her off in a wooded area located a quarter of a mile down a farm road. The farm road is located a short distance off Hunting Creek Road.
Around 2 p.m. Saturday, very soon after the confession, authorities found the infant safe and sound after spending the night in the woods. The infant was wrapped in a blanket and dressed in pajamas, "making a few noises," said Clark. She was still in the spot that her mother had revealed moments earlier to police.
"Thank God the baby was alive," said Clark.
The infant was taken to the local emergency room but aside from suffering from insect bites, hunger and dehydration, weathered the ordeal in "okay" condition, said Clark.
"She was hungry but other than that got a good bill of health," he said.
The Department of Social Services was called in and transferred the infant to foster parents. The Sheriff's Office made contact with the man believed to be the father of the child, living in Danville, and the infant's grandmother. Neither was involved in the incident, Clark said.
The investigation is continuing and "additional charges will be forthcoming," he added.
The sheriff noted that it was cold overnight and rain fell at times Saturday, and the child hadn't eaten since the prior evening. "Just thank God she finally told us the truth," Clark said.
Joining the search for the infant were members of the Halifax County rescue squad and Triangle firefighters and EMS personnel. As they set out to find the child, the searchers first gathered at a staging site of the Clarkton waste disposal convenience center — giving rise to rampant rumors that the infant had been deposited in a trash dumpster, Clark said. The rumor probably got started by persons listening in on the dispatcher's communications.
Pittman is being held at the Blue Ridge jail.

If you are a company that offers something, you are responsible for complying with regulations regarding that thing. If you sell meat, you are responsible for ensuring it is not rotten. If you manufacture or sell toys, it is your responsibility to ensure that they do not contain toxic substances nor small parts that are easy to swallow.

I have no idea where technology companies, especially U.S. based ones, get this idea that they should be allowed to infringe upon rights and regulations wherever it gets in the way of doing business simply because what they do is somehow new and cool. That's not how that works. Mercedes-Benz cannot make a car that doesn't follow road safety regulations, even though that may allow for cool things and cheaper cars. And in the same vein, Facebook cannot simply store whatever data they please and sell it to whomever, and Google cannot simply index all things until the end of times, even if all of these things would be very useful for them and possibly allow for neat features - because there are regulations that protect the common interest, which they have to follow.

If your company demographics are significantly different from general demographics, you are probably not hiring the best person for the job - probably, your hiring is skewed towards some demographic, for whatever reason (number of canidates, subtle unconcious or even open racism or sexism). If you want to have the best people for the job, you should have a strong interest figuring out if you have such a bias in your hiring and to eliminate it.
Further, diversity is healthy, especially in jobs that require some creativity. Many different people with many different approaches beats a bunch of people who all work roughly the same way.

Stealing Data Via Electrical Outlet 208

Ponca City, We love you writes "NetworkWorld reports that security consultants Andrea Barisani and Daniele Bianco are preparing to unveil their methodology at the Black Hat USA conference for stealing information typed on a computer keyboard using nothing more than the power outlet to which the computer is connected. When you type on a standard computer keyboard, electrical signals run through the cable to the PC. Those cables aren't shielded, so the signal leaks via the ground wire in the cable and into the ground wire on the computer's power supply. The attacker connects a probe to a nearby power socket, detects the ground leakage, and converts the signal back into alphanumeric characters. So far, the attack has proven successful using outlets up to about 15 meters away. The cost of the equipment to carry out the power-line attack could be as little as $500 and while the researchers admit their hacking tools are rudimentary, they believe they could be improved upon with a little time, effort and backing. 'If our small research was able to accomplish acceptable results in a brief development time (approximately a week of work) and with cheap hardware,' they say, 'Consider what a dedicated team or government agency can accomplish with more expensive equipment and effort.'"

The interpretation of the act by the Court to cover violations of website terms of service, a circumstance obviously not considered in the law's formulation and passage, may have profound effects on the intersection of the Internet and US law. Referring to an amicus curiae brief filed by online rights organizations and law professors, PJ at Groklaw breaks down the implications of the decision to support her assertion that 'unless this case is overturned, it is time to get off the Internet completely, because it will have become too risky to use a computer.'"

Computerworld thinks we're getting there, talking of Linux 'going mainstream 'with Ubuntu. 'If there is a single complaint that is laid at the feet of Linux time and time again, it's that the operating system is too complicated and arcane for casual computer users to tolerate. You can't ask newbies to install device drivers or recompile the kernel, naysayers argue. Of course, many of those criticisms date back to the bad old days, but Ubuntu, the user-friendly distribution sponsored by Mark Shuttleworth's Canonical Ltd., has made a mission out of dispelling such complaints entirely.'"

The engine in your 2004 Audi A6 should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your A6 and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your A6 is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your A6, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your A6, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

When employees have a serious health condition that qualifies them for FMLA leave, employers have the right to some basic information. But you have to ask for it in the right way and at the right time.
Those rules are set out for you in the U.S. Department of Labor FMLA regulations. Miss a step and you could face a lawsuit alleging interference with the right to take FMLA leave.
As an employer, you are permitted—within certain limits—to ask the employee to provide medical information. Specifically, you may initially ask the employee for a certification that he has a serious health condition that makes him eligible for leave. You can later request a certification that he is again fit to return to work.
You can't wait until the employee is ready to return to ask, though.

Title: Problems with maple in Denver
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Denver, CO and planted an Autumn Blaze maple three years ago. It has done very well until about a week ago. The leaves are drying out and falling off and earlier today I noticed some bugs on the trunk, which I believe are red-headed ash borers. Can I save my tree?
"Autumn Blaze" maple is a commercial trade name given to a hybrid of Acer rubrum (Red maple) and Acer saccharinum (Silver maple), neither of which is native to Colorado, although both are native to North America. From the Growing Conditions of the Red Maple, we extracted these Growing Conditions:
"Soil Description: Moist, slightly acidic soils.
Conditions Comments: Though usually found in moist woodlands and wet swamps, also found in drier Post Oak woods"
And on the Silver Maple:
"Soil Description: Rich, wet to moist, slightly acid soils."
Since we are dealing with a hybrid, we don't know which characteristics of each tree are dominant, but their soil and moisture preferences are practically identical. We don't know what the pH of your soil is, but are guessing alkaline, although probably not enough so to kill the tree.
From the Entomology Department of Oklahoma State University, Redheaded Ash Borer, here is a description of the trees they attack:
"Redheaded ash borers will attack nearly all dying and dead hardwoods, but chiefly ash, oak, hickory, persimmon, and hackberry."
From about.com, courtesy of the United States Forestry Services, here is a discussion of common pests and diseases of the maple.
The puzzle here is whether there is a sudden decline of your tree. It is pointed out in the articles on the redheaded ash borer that it only attacks dead or dying trees. The other article, about pests and diseases, also says most of them are not serious, but rather opportunistic pests taking advantage of an already weakened tree. If you noticed no problem earlier than a week ago, it's hard to see how any of these things could have been the cause. We are wondering if it could possibly be aphids, which are small bugs that pierce the leaves and draw nutrition out of them. Please read this University of California Integrated Pest Management article on Aphids, and see if that might be your problem. A good hard spray of water on the leaves, as suggested in the article, might alleviate your problem.
In that does not prove to be the case, we suggest that you contact a licensed, certified arborist and have the tree examined; it is beyond our abilities to diagnose from a distance.
