The Business On... Sidney Harman, Tycoon
Wednesday 04 August 2010
Any particular type of business?
Media. He's just bought Newsweek, the US weekly news magazine, for the princely sum of $1 (60p).
Wow, that's cheaper than a copy of the magazine.
To be fair, Mr Harman's full outlay may be a little larger – the magazine was put up for sale by the Washington Post Company in May because it couldn't stop losing money. The magazine may have "national treasure" status but it has lost $44m over the past three years.
Well, thank goodness it has a new owner to keep it going long-term.
Hmmm. The good news is Mr Harman says he is "in no hurry" to make a return on his investment. On the downside, he's 91. He looks well, but still.
Why has he bought it?
Well, Mr Harman does have a long record of generous philanthropy – in the US magazine market, where advertising has not recovered from the recession and readers have migrated online, that's the sort of proprietor needed. He's also a patron of the arts and says he believes in the Newsweek mission.
Does he have deep pockets?
He's certainly well off, having made his money from the audio company, Harman/Kardon, which bears his name. Stereo aficionados will tell you that Mr Harman and his partner, Bernard Kardon, effectively invented the home music system by coming up with the first integrated audio receiver.
What else has he done?
Quite a lot, actually. In the 1960s he taught African-American school children in Virginia, when the state closed its education establishments after being ordered to desegregate them. He also taught at Friends' World, an experimental Quaker college on Long Island.
He sounds quite the liberal?
Did I mention that his policy of giving staff freedom to set their own working hours and to contribute ideas to the company led to a spell as President Jimmy Carter's deputy secretary of commerce?

Recent Placencia Peninsula reviews
"Really enjoyed staying at this condo which was well-equipped, stylish and clean. The view from the balcony was amazing especially for morning coffee. Both the beach and pool were great places to enjoy the day. The building was quiet but it's only a short 20 minute walk to the village for great restaurants and nightlife. Would be great for two couples as the rooms have their own bathrooms and are private. Also a great place for a family as it's a safe distance from the village and the beach and pool are close and visible from the condo balcony. A great escape from Alberta winters!"Guest: SJBL Date of Stay: February 2014 Review Submitted: March 19, 2014View listing
"This was my 5th trip to Belize, 3rd time to Placencia. I would return to Dolce Cabana for another stay. The property is exactly as pictured and described, that is important. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Owner on site and very pleasant to be around. Location is perfect for reaching the beach, town, shops, banks and restaurants. Very much enjoyed being able to cook for ourselves, kitchen is ideal. Thank you again for everything. Dee & Sam"Guest: Delores O.

"HI, We were in Belize for 2 weeks in August we had the best time ever. Villa is just amazing fully equipped and beautiful. Swimming pool was just refreshing and having the palapa with the hammock was my highlight of the trip...just relaxing. My 2 girls 9 and 12 just loved hanging out in the pool and making sand castles on our private beach that was cleaned up every day. Listening to the waves at night from the bedroom was my god soooo relaxing :) I really recommend taking Alrin for a tour guide we did Monkey River and Snorkeling/fishing both days were just perfect. We did some hiking, visited chocolate and banana plantation, zipline, cave tubing, ATM cave... Belize was just the perfect family vacation. August was a perfect month beautiful weather and less tourist! Food in Belize is just WOW!!! Thank you Yvonne and David for your recommendations and renting out your Villa this was the best family trip ever!"Guest: Sharon R.

"We arrived short notice during low season and Janis was super accommodating. Francisco, the caretaker, was pleasant and very helpful, and Alfred was really a gem! First time to Belize, 2nd accommodation and we couldn't have planned it any better. The coconuts falling from the trees startled us at first but once Alfred showed us how to open them they became a treat. I hope we get back to this place and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!"Guest: llorrenzo Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 27, 2014View listing
Placencia Peninsula Travel Tips
Unwind and Relax at Placencia Peninsula Vacation Rentals
Belize is a beautiful vacation destination. The lush coastline and barrier reef attract divers from all around the world that come to explore its underwater wonders. It's a place where you can enjoy nature, partake in a wide variety of activities and still take some time out to simply enjoy the view. The Placienda Peninsula is a popular destination for honeymooners and people who are looking for a peaceful beach vacation. Travelers that like to explore nature and have an interest in bird watching, butterflies and unusual flora can explore the forests and trails. A little further inland, there are a number of Mayan ruins that will be of interest to people who enjoy studying ancient cultures.
Excursions and Things to Do near Placencia Peninsula House Rentals
Placencia's primary attraction is the barrier reef that runs the length of Belize. The second-largest barrier reef in the world, it has spectacular dive sites and is an amazing natural phenomenon. Underwater canyons, walls and coral bommies are home to host of reef fish and marine creatures.
Sailing is a great eco-friendly way to explore the coastline near Placencia. Cruise charters can take you to snorkel on the reefs and explore secluded beaches and cays. Sit back and relax with a cocktail and enjoy cruising the calm tropical waters.
About a half-hour from Placencia is the small village of Monkey River. From there, you can take a leisurely trip upriver spotting wildlife along the way. If you're fortunate, you could see the shy manatees, green iguana, boa constrictors, crocodiles and wild deer. The local guides are extremely knowledgeable and provide an entertaining narration during the tour. The bird life is abundant and occasionally you can hear the monkeys in the trees above.
To see the Mayan Ruins at Lubaantun and Nim Li Punit, you will need to join a full-day excursion. On it, you can see the partially excavated sites and hear about the ancient mythology from the local guides. It's an eerie and enchanting experience.
The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is about an hour from Placencia. It is the world's first jaguar sanctuary. Although sightings are rare, touring the sanctuary is still a wonderful experience as you get to see many unique species of plants, animals and birds.
What to Take with You When Staying at Placencia Peninsula Villas
Since it is a tropical destination, you can afford to pack quite light. The essentials are good sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, comfortable shoes and your swimsuit. In general, the clothing is quite casual. Lightweight cotton shirts, shorts and skirts are most suitable for the climate. If you are planning on doing some nature walks or excursions, make sure you have a comfortable pair of walking shoes. Insect repellant is another essential. It's advisable to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants at night and on jungle tours to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Leave valuables such as expensive jewelry at home. If you are keen photographer, pack an extra memory card as you are likely to take loads of photos.
When to Visit Belize Vacation Rentals
Placencia is a destination that has a year-round warm tropical climate. From May to November, the weather is hot and humid and tropical storms can occur at the end of the season. The summer months are somewhat dryer and run from December to April. The most popular travel period is between December and February which coincides with the dryer weather. Travel during peak season does come at a premium and if you are on a budget, it's worth looking at traveling in mid-season. The low season is during September and October when hurricanes are most likely to occur.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
What Are Canes Waiting For

Perhaps Jim Rutherford is too busy clearing out space on his mantle for that Executive of the Year trophy. Perhaps he was too busy trying to lowball 2005 draftee Jack Johnson into giving up his college career at Michigan and jumping to the Hurricanes. Whatever it is, the Carolina Hurricanes president/general manager needs to get on the ball and stop procrastinating. He must sign coach Peter Laviolette to an extension, and the time to do it was yesterday.continued

what makes you beautiful is your ability to love yourself. You are perfect just the way you are. I understand how it's easy to get down on yourself, but remember this: comparisons ruin happiness. the next time you find yourself comparing, remember that you are you, and on one else, and that's a good thing

We talk about fashion/beauty, celeb gossip, guys, and advice about life in general. We need 2 custom officers, so join and ask about that. I also just need members in general. A club isn't much fun when you only have five members. If you have any ideas for me to add to my club, let me know on my profile.

I hate clutches (i like to have my hands free so i can text and walk at the same time, clutches restrict that and whol wants to hold a bag in their hand all day) so i have this bag from Target, it's a Mossimo Supply Co. bag and its just like a light periwinkle bag and it has 3 outside pockets and on the inside it has 2 pockets and one zipper pocket. Also on the outside there are 2 pockets on each side that aren't too bag. This bag is perfect for me. At first I was likewhat am i going to do with all these pockets! But now, all of thm are filled except one pocket on the inside and the two pockets on the sides. It's realky cute regardless of the pockets, and its more spacious on the inside than t looks on the ouside; it can hold my ipad mini, my books and others with space to spare! Its cute and it can be a crossover or a one shoulder badpg, but it's just awesome and perf. for spring and summer!

There was a point in time where I would openly come out and say that Amar'e Stoudemire was the best power forward in the NBA. It wasn't that I actually believed it; I was just enamored by the man's physical capabilities and the potential that oozed out of him. 6'10", 250 pounds and a first step that reminded many of a young James Worthy.
Yet, there were some flaws in his game that were hard to overlook. The inability to play defense, the lack of desire to pass the ball, the tendency to lean on that mid-range jumper and, most importantly, rebound worth a damn.
Kenny and I have had many conversations about big men and their ability to rebound. If you're a starter playing true starter's minutes, then you have to get ten rebounds a game to be truly worth a damn or, at least, so you can command some damn respect. Time and time again, Amar'e has proven to us that he has no desire at all to rebound. Too many nights he'd put up numbers like four, seven and five in the rebound column and we'd watch dudes 3-4 inches smaller than him but who had some heart about them go up and get 10-12 boards.
It's a damn disgrace.
So last night, while coming home from watching some high school kids hoop, I noticed that Orlando and New York squared off. Orlando won 103-92, and then I saw Amare's stat line.
A. Stoudemire: 22 min, ten points, two rebounds.
Two. Boards.
No, man; that is not acceptable. This is why no one respects you, Amar'e. Yes, you have a knee that's been operated on more than Kim Kardashian's face but, dammit, if you have the ability to go up there repeatedly and dunk on people, then you should have every ability in the world necessary to rebound the ball off the rim.
*wipes brow and sips my soy caramel macchiato*
That's not even what really pissed me off today, as I didn't actually have any inclination to write about Stoudemire. However, a report on Pro Basketball Talk came out that stated Stoudemire was upset that he didn't make the Team USA final 20.
"It's definitely not my choice," Stoudemire said. "I would love to play. If USA wants me to play, then I'm totally down with playing. If they need me, I'm there." In 2010, the Knicks told Stoudemire, who has had multiple knee surgeries, to withdraw from the World Championships, because they couldn't insure his contract."
Yes, I can understand that you might feel some kind of way that your fellow teammates Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler are on the list. Yes, you might even feel some kind of way that your head coach Mike D'Antoni is an assistant on the team. But sir, there's no chance you will be out there in London embarrassing the United States of America getting two rebounds in a game. There's no country for 6'10" shooting guards, Amar'e, so sit down, rest your knee and go watch some old footage of Moses Malone, Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman rebounding the ball worth a damn.
*logs off and continues to sip his soy caramel macchiato*

Utah photographer donates her talents to children facing terminal illness
Jennifer Fauset, Fauset Photography
As a child, Jennifer Fauset loved to look at the picture of her 2-year-old self hanging in her grandfather's office.
It gave her confidence, made her feel beautiful and eventually confirmed her decision to help other people feel beautiful by becoming a professional photographer whose company, Fauset Photography, is based in Salt Lake City.
While immortalizing wedding bliss has its perks, the most rewarding job for Fauset is photographing children facing terminal diseases — for free.
Fauset began her "Giving Back" project in 2010 when she was asked to take pictures of a boy undergoing chemotherapy.
She documented the heartbreaking process of shaving his hair and went on to take pictures of him declaring his wish with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
After that, she was hooked on helping.
"I started telling people if they knew any child with a terminal illness that I was more than happy to photograph their family for free," Fauset said. "They already have so much to worry about, and I think the last thing on their mind is to go and spend money on pictures, especially with children."
Many children don't want pictures of themselves without their hair, but Fauset said that when they see pictures of other children in similar situations, it encourages them.
And although the hospital may not seem like the ideal environment for a photo shoot, Fauset's talent brings out the personality and interests of each child.
"I'm with the kids for such a short amount of time, but I feel like when you photograph someone you see deeper into them," Fauset said. "I really try to capture the soul of the person, not just what they look like."
One of Fauset's favorite clients was Millie Flamm, a 7-year-old girl who died as a result of leukemia in June 2013.
Millie was diagnosed when she was 4 years old and underwent treatment for two and a half years.
The same day the Flamms celebrated her last dose of treatment in 2012, a bone marrow test result informed the family that Millie's leukemia had returned.
Although the Flamms thoroughly researched different forms of treatment, Millie's body stopped responding to everything.
One day, while Millie was preparing for her first bone marrow transplant, Fauset met her dad at the hospital.
"I hadn't heard of Jen, but she asked my husband Brady if he was Millie's dad, and when he said, 'Yes,' she said she'd love to take pictures of Millie," said Amanda Flamm, Millie's mom.
Fauset photographed Millie dressed in her Justin Bieber T-shirt, and Amanda Flamm couldn't think of anything more fitting for her little girl.
"We got these pictures back, and they were the most beautiful images I'd ever seen," Flamm said. "They captured Millie and her personality, and you can just feel who she is through those pictures."
When Flamm learned that Millie's body wouldn't accept any more treatment, she knew she wanted Fauset to take more pictures, but this time of their whole family.
Flamm didn't tell Fauset of the grim prognosis, but she said Fauset seemed to understand.
"I wanted her to capture a moment in time that I knew I was going to lose," Flamm said. "The photo shoot brought us so much closer together as we were able to play and let the dog on the bed and just be us, and Jen was a fly on the wall. She wasn't even posing us or telling what to do. She just captured us."

Canadian women advance at baseball World Cup

The Canadian Press
Published Tuesday, September 2, 2014 1:34PM EDT
MIYAZAKI, Japan -- Canada's women's baseball team clinched a spot in the second round of the World Cup with a 9-8 extra-inning comeback victory over Taiwan on Tuesday.
The Canadians were down by five runs going into the sixth inning, before battling back to win.
"It's something that everyone needs to know about Canada," manager Andre Lachance said. "We're never going to let anything go, we never quit and we always battle right to the end. Whoever plays us will have to battle to beat us every single time."
Stephanie Savoie of La Pocatiere, Que., led off the sixth with a single before driving in two runs in the same inning to put Canada up 7-6. She drove in the winning run with her third hit of the game, finishing with three RBIs.
"That felt great," Savoie said. "It's amazing. I love to play when the game is a challenge, and I think I'm better where there is some pressure. If I have no pressure, I'm good, but I'm better when I have that pressure on my shoulders."
Autumn Mills of London, Ont., got the start for Canada and went 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with a walk and two strikeouts.
Canada will face the United States on Wednesday to wrap up the first round. Both teams have two victories and have already clinched their spots in the second round.

Officials eyeing land for new city center
Published: January 4,2011
Tags: municipal government, real estate
RIDGELAND — The City of Ridgeland will spend $4.6 million for 24.7 acres in the middle of town to build a new city center.
The Madison County Journal reports that aldermen voted 5-2 for the project along U.S. 51 near the police department and municipal court building.
Mayor Gene F. McGee says the site is perfect place for the relocation of city hall and several other departmental offices.
McGee says the next step is an environmental assessment.
After the land has been cleared, the design process for the municipal complex at the site can begin. City officials did not have a time frame on when the construction would begin.
McGee says the current city hall property would be declared surplus and sold.

Exclusive E-vites
Request your pals' presence with an oh-so elegant digital
invitation: "In celebration of the 74th Annual Hunger Games, Capitol
Couture requests your presence for a frippery-filled slumber party. We await
your RSVP by jabberjay!"
Set the scene
As we see throughout the series, the Capitol basks in all
things beautiful, over-the-top and trendy. Go all out by making your party
space into a vibrant lounge bedecked with bright colors and glittery jewels.
Cover lampshades with colorful scarves and bedazzle disposable plastic glasses
and plates with rhinestones and sequins.
Sweet treats (and gaudy eats)
When Katniss and Peeta attend the Capitol party prior to the
Quarter Quell, they are amazed by the abundance of indulgent goodies. Pamper
your pals with a spread fit for Capitol-ites by dressing up standard slumber
party fare. Wrap cocktail hotdogs in crescent rolls and bake until golden
brown. Use a melonballer to scoop elegant shapes from fruit (or candy-colored
sorbet—yum!). Dip strawberries in chocolate and then roll in sprinkles. Bake
off a batch of sugar cookies and learn how to pipe like a pro. Just don't get a
tummy ache!
Lucky charms
Each of the tributes is allowed to bring one item with them
into the Hunger Games arena, a lucky charm. Katniss brings a mockingjay pin. Because
the inhabitants of the Capitol live for the excitement of the annual Games,
we're sure there are crafting parties aplenty (or at least lucky charm
boutiques!) catering to the creation of custom lucky charms. Head to Michael's
and grab the fixings for bracelets, necklaces, pins and earrings. Then go wild!
Get glam
Ask your girls to set their own Capitol trends. Have 'em
bring their outfits along and spend an hour getting gussied up together. Stock
a bathroom with inexpensive beauty boosters: eyeliner in kooky colors, stick-on
rhinestones, feathered false lashes—anything that you'd normally never wear. Then get ready to strut your stuff. Be sure to
snap some runway-worthy shots (and a few candids, too).
Trivia night!
Do you know your HG trivia? Pick a bud to serve as trivia
master, and ask her to come up with dozens of tricky Qs based on the books.
Better study up so you can shine, sistah!
Watch the trailers
Panem is nothing without its Capitol-driven propaganda.

Friends of Susan Powell mark 4th year since she vanished
Friends of Susan Powell gathered at the Salt Lake City Cemetery to remember the West Valley City woman and her two sons on the fourth anniversary of her disappearance.
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Friends of Susan Powell gathered at the Salt Lake City Cemetery to remember the West Valley City, Utah, woman and her two sons on the fourth anniversary of her disappearance.
Friends who bundled up for Friday night's vigil say they still seek answers about the mother, who was last seen alive at her home on Dec. 6, 2009. Her body has not been found.
Utah police focused their investigation into her disappearance on her husband, Josh Powell, until he killed himself and the couple's two sons in February 2012.
"We're never going to stop looking for (her), so every year we try to commemorate her disappearance and keep ... her memory in everybody's minds because she's still missing, and we really need to find her," Kiirsi Hellewell, her best friend, told the Deseret News.
Friday's vigil at the Christmas Box Angel statue in the cemetery is held every year on Dec. 6, the date of the child's death in the book "The Christmas Box" — and the day Susan Powell went missing.
One of more than 100 similar statues in 39 states, it's part of a nationwide movement to remember abused children.
Susan Powell's parents, Judy and Chuck Cox, attended a similar vigil near the Christmas Box Angel memorial at the Woodbine Cemetery in Puyallup, where her sons, Charlie and Braden, are buried.

The highest rate of penetration for BlackBerry Messenger users is in the Caribbean and Latin America, according to RIM's carrier relationship marketing manager for the region, Angela Friar. Friar was speaking during the RIM/LIME launch of four of the latest BlackBerry smartphone devices and OS 7 (Operating System 7) platform yesterday at the Olympus Theatres VIP Lounge. The four new devices launched were the BlackBerry Bold 9900, Torch 9850, Torch 9810 and the Curve 9360. "In the Caribbean, we actually have the highest penetrations of BlackBerry Messenger worldwide – up to about 90 per cent. So every nine persons who buy a BlackBerry with a data plan is using BlackBerry Messenger," said Friar. She further told the DAILY NATION: "I can say that BlackBerry in Latin America and the Caribbean holds the number one smartphone position with market share of over 45 per cent, based on industry stance." Describing the new series of smartphone as "smooth, fast and high-end", Friar said they were "significantly more powerful". She also noted that the new OS 7 platform had PDF and Microsoft Office capabilities. Head of marketing for LIME (Barbados), Gail Niles, stated that the BlackBerry Curve continued to be a favourite across the market, while the Torch and Bold "are also popular, but mostly among the corporate clients".
