Ireland's attitude to getting business done was considered one of the reasons Qualtrics, a research software company, decided to establish its European base in Ireland two years ago and it has expanded ever since.
Speaking at this year's Web Summit, the company's CEO and co-founder, Ryan Smith, said that having visited Ireland during previous Web Summits, he drew comparisons with Ireland and his home state of Utah which he believes had the 'scrappy' culture that manages to get things done.
This would appear to have been the case as since they first set up their office in Ireland, they have created hundreds of jobs in Dublin and are soon to expand into their new 26,000 sq ft office in Grafton Street.
Back home in their native US, the company is showing considerable growth since Smith and his father both started the company in 2002 from their home garage, having last September raised US$150m in Series B funding and has Microsoft, Fedex, Jet Blue and HP using its data survey, data collection and analysis technology.
Speaking of their model of data analysis compared with big data, Smith said, "There's a lot of discussion around big data and organisations trying to line up, but the reality is that when they get to the end of getting that data sorted out, they typically already know what they're trying to come up with. And the questions that they don't have answers to, they still don't have answers to it."

British fashion retailer New Look has received an offer for its loss-making French unit Mim and is confident a deal will be struck.
The firm, owned by private equity groups Apax and Permira as well as founder Tom Singh, also said on Tuesday its first-quarter sales and earnings exceeded its own expectations as it tapped into key summer fashion trends such as Kimonos, printed trousers and running shorts.
Chief Executive Anders Kristiansen declined to name the suitor for the Mim business, which has over 350 stores, but told reporters it was an Asian group that already operates in Europe, though not in retail.
"We're making good progress, I think it will happen," he said, declining to say what the non-binding offer is worth.
New Look, which goes up against Primark and Next in a fiercely competitive British fashion retail market, had said in June it could sell Mim as France is not a country it plans to focus on.
Its strategy is to focus on building and developing the New Look brand in Britain, online and internationally in four countries - China, Poland, Russia and Germany.
The group said revenue rose 8.1 percent to 392.5 million pounds ($658 million) in the 13 weeks to June 28, with sales at stores open over a year up 8.9 percent. UK like-for-like sales rose 11.6 percent, while e-commerce sales jumped 39.2 percent.
New Look said underlying earnings rose 18.8 percent to 59.4 million pounds.
Kristiansen said the company was well placed for the year ahead, though he did caution that the second quarter faces tougher comparative numbers versus the year before.
"We have had a pleasing start to the second quarter," he said, noting the benefit of good weather.
New Look, which currently has net debt of 1.04 billion pounds, pulled a planned stock market listing in 2010 amid turbulent financial markets.
Kristiansen said another attempt at an initial public offering (IPO) should not be expected any time soon.
"The owners, shareholders, will decide when we should do an IPO ... I don't see that happening in the imminent future," he said.

The two French companies operating in the energy industry, EDF and Veolia, have just finalized the agreement signed the 25 of March 2014 on their joint subsidiary: Dalkia, which is a leading player in the field of energy services. As part of this agreement, EDF handles the entire business of Dalkia in France while international operations are taken over by Veolia. This transaction, announced in October 2013, was subject to clearances from competition authorities which it was obtained in late June 2014.

French cybersecurity firms increasingly successful in fast-growing market
Interview : Thibaut Barde, UBIFRANCE's Project Manager for Digital Trust & Cyber Security,
In 2013, there was a 12% year-on-year rise in cybersecurity attacks, with nearly 60% of them causing either brand damage or direct revenue loss to businesses. This, coupled with highly publicized commercial and government breaches of IT security, has increased the demand for cybersecurity services. French companies are strongly placed in this growing market and their advanced solutions are in demand.
The 12% year-on-year increase in cybersecurity attacks that affected businesses in 2013 (Source: IBM 2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index), regrettable as it may be, translates into the fact that the IT-security sector is experiencing sustained growth in this segment of the market. High-profile cases, such as the cyber-attacks on US retail chain Target, have raised awareness among business executives.
While US-based and British companies dominate current business in this sector, client entities are looking for alternatives in order to alleviate their worries of government intrusion. In this respect, French specialist companies are a strong contender in the eyes of many professionals and executives working for SMEs and start-ups, but also at established, larger groups: these clients are leveraging the French know-how stemming from top R&D centres and universities.
In 2013, the French cybersecurity sector was valued at more than $2 billion. The French network-security sector offers a wide range of services, including B2B IT solutions meeting strategic challenges, and comprises many world champions such as Atos, Orange, Sogeti, Bull, Cassidian and the cybersecurity division at Thales.
Thanks to their advanced technical research laboratories, more particularly in cryptology and encryption, French players are recognized worldwide. According to Thibaut Barde, UBIFRANCE's Project Manager for Digital Trust & Cyber Security, "The reason for cutting-edge technology [thriving in France] is the quality of French universities in the field of engineering, which is known globally. Research laboratories associated with these universities train the best engineers of tomorrow."
Secure IC SAS is a shining example of a company that has been working with top graduates having come out of the French educational system in order to become a thought leader in cybersecurity. Its platforms provide the highest level of security on a client entity's embedded systems, preventing hacking and reverse engineering as well as protecting intellectual property and proprietary data. In 2013, Secure IC SAS won a Sesame Award for innovation in the manufacturing and testing of IT products.
French start-ups and SMEs have developed out of a strong domestic talent pool and many have decided to join forces under the HexaTrust label, which regroups 20 hi-tech SMEs that are keen to offer a co-ordinated, total service package to their clients. These software vendors and integrators provide a full range of products and services dedicated to the protection of the critical infrastructure of businesses and institutions from cyber-attacks. The HexaTrust umbrella group's portfolio of current and potential clients is diverse and growing, including businesses and public-sector agencies of all sizes.
Due to the dramatic increase in the level of sophistication and intensity of cyber-attacks, public- and private-sector investment in cybersecurity is growing fast and is expected to rise by nearly 10% per year between now and 2017. This trend illustrates the promising opportunities that exist for a large business looking for a new market, or for a dynamic SME scaling up a new product.
Thibaut Barde of UBIFRANCE Paris explains that, "France's distance from recent scandals [involving the international and covert collection of data by various government agencies, as revealed in the media] is favourable for French players since awareness on the use of data takes place at a global level. This has helped to build the profile of the industry and has generated increasing concerns for [the security of] personal data, which is a real asset for the French in particular: it is important when it comes to data-storage companies, among others."
Many French companies in the sector are choosing to develop an international business outlook. French players have strong opportunities to seize in this market thanks to their technological expertise, combined with the diversity of products and services they can offer.
UBIFRANCE is here to help, with a strong presence at next year's Infosecurity Europe trade event, where there will be as many as 15 French companies looking to expand their presence into the British market and other European markets. Infosecurity Europe will take place from 2 to 4 June 2015 at the Olympia exhibition centre, in central London (UK).

Interview : Viviane SILBERSTEIN, Project Head at Ubifrance
GL Events of France managed Rio Centro, an exposition park that was the site of FIFA's organization committee and press centre. Nearby sits a 306-room hotel that was used by many of the FIFA delegates: it was built by French construction group Bouygues and designed by French-born architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Each day, when officials arrived at the state-of-the-art Maracana stadium, the renewable energy powering the stadium was supplied thanks to a pilot project run by French energy group EDF and its partners.
French-based companies have a long history of winning contracts for the supply of products and services at major international sporting events. According to Viviane Silberstein, Project Head at UBIFRANCE, much of the winning know-how of French businesses is acquired in their domestic market: "When French companies go abroad, they have to adapt to other markets, but domestic experience already gives a reference and an image, like Roland Garros or the next European football championship, and this is very important for an organizing committee."
France has proven experience in handling international sports events: the country has hosted various Winter Olympics (Chamonix, Grenoble and Albertville), the 1984 UEFA European Championship, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Every year, France organizes the Tour de France cycling event. Roland Garros is another key international sporting event organised in France, and the country will host the 2016 UEFA European Championship.
GL Event's performance at the 2012 Summer Olympics helped the company to launch a successful bid for contracts during this summer's Football World Cup in Brazil. GL Events was responsible for the design and installation of 25 indoor and 15 temporary outdoor sites across London — a contract that represented €21 million. However, even before this sizeable addition to its portfolio, GL Events had been managing a range of international events in Paris for years.
In 2014, the Winter Olympics — the most expensive in history, at a total cost of $51 billion — took place in Sochi, in the Russian Federation: 12 French companies won a total of €100 million in contracts.
A 2013 survey of the Rhône-Alpes region in South-Eastern France found that there are 300 locally based companies involved in the management of the winter-sports industry, bringing in approximately €1 billion in revenue per year. After all, France ranks third worldwide in winter-sports tourism, after Austria and the USA…
French companies, building on their track record, have been successful domestically and internationally in this field. Innovative companies, which offer new products and technologies, find opportunities to showcase their solutions and grow. Seat Advert is a very young company that is revolutionizing the sporting experience: its small screens, as installed in stadiums, allow viewers to peruse ads and access real-time information, including game statistics. Seat Advert's innovative solution has already found new clients in Mexico, with plans to expand into South America. The company has recently been awarded a contract for this year's World Equestrian Games in Normandy, in North-Western France.
Esportec Eco-Industriel is yet another young innovative company developing natural and ecological surfacing solutions for outdoor spaces. ECO'STABIL®, its patented material, is made out of waste and can be combined with other recycled products. While many of the uses of this and other products are not entirely recreational, they can be used to create cycle tracks, equestrian paths and footpaths. Currently, the company exports to Morocco, Benelux countries and Switzerland: the potential for expansion of this eco-friendly material in export markets is considerable, as more and more international sports events require contractors to pay attention to environmental considerations.
Ms V Silberstein of UBIFRANCE explains that French companies are not afraid to take on the biggest challenges and, with their many successes, it is not surprising that, "They are approaching the market based on the biggest business opportunities, and these are the biggest international events, international football events, and Olympic Games. The criterion is not francophone and country specific and, now, UBIFRANCE is working with companies on all events."
International opportunities will continue to grow, with the $100 billion in new investments expected at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, $15 billion at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and $30 billion for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Apart from the biggest prizes over the next decade, there is a diverse set of opportunities that can sustain a business in the coming years. For example, there are smaller but lucrative events that French companies can target through UBIFRANCE, including sales expositions in Almaty (Kazakhstan) and preparatory events in Saint Petersburg (Russia) for the 2018 World Cup, all in the next 12 months.
Furthermore, existing markets are always in a state of flux and French companies with good products and services are being rewarded with new contracts. Bodet, an equipment manufacturer specializing in scoreboards and video screens, is a prime example. Even though this French company has been present in the Middle East for more than 30 years, it recently acquired new business from Al Jazeera Sport Studios and in relation to stadiums in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait City.
While Ms Silberstein admits that, "The international sports-event market is extremely competitive," it is also clear that many French companies, encouraged by expertise gained in their domestic market, are more than ready for the challenge. Besides, as she points out, "New opportunities and existing national markets will only grow over the next decade, with contracts that are so big that, if you have a small percentage of this contract, it is worth fighting for it."
In conclusion, it is clear that French-based companies are poised to continue with their off-the-pitch success in this competitive market.

The Farnborough International Airshow, located next to London, is one of the world's largest exhibitions and air displays for facilitating first-class businesses opportunities for the global aerospace industry. The 2014 edition was the best of Airbus history. The group has signed orders of 353 aircrafts, worth of 28.3 billion € and memoranda of understanding for the purchases of 138 others devices for 27.2 billion €. The event was marked by the successful launch of the A330neo with a record of 121 purchase intentions by the Russia's Transaero Airlines. The main order was from the Irish based leasing company: SMBC Aviation Capital, with 110 A320neo and 5 A320 for an estimated value of 8.5 billion €.
France is a country particularly appealing to technology startups. This goes especially for companies doing predictive analysis using Big Data such as PrediSis, a startup launched a year ago and working with distribution, e-commerce, and bank-insurance companies. Jean-Louis Fuccellaro and Bertrand Grezes-Besset, co-founder of PrediSis describe the reasons making France one of the greatest location for startupers.
When talking about startups and technologies, France isn't usually the top of mind. When leaders of the sector are in the US and London is the second world financial center, France offers key succes factors that can make the difference for tech companies.
France is one of the only country benefitting from both highly qualified and educated engineers as well as a support from public authorities encouraging innovation.
Most of the market is located outside of France, often in the US when taking into account the biggest players but being a startup using the web means forgetting about geographical barriers and being able to work from anywhere. Thus, location of the market shouldn't be the most important aspect when choosing a place to launch a startup, resources should be. France has it both: capital and human resources.
Engineering is a strong suit for France. The average level of its engineers is high. PubliSis partners can take their many years managing international teams as a proof. Moreover, trainings usually include a strong culture in software engineering and mathematics as well as a theoritical base which is quit unique. Young graduates are capable of developing skills and know how to adapt to new technologies. For instance, Big Data, implies a development strategy that is absolutely new. Having talents at the cutting edge of technology, France is part of the world leaders in this sector.
Moreover, public authorities in France are supporting innovation and technology. The government is well-aware of the importance of the tech sector for its economy. As a result, many organisations and mecanisms can be used by companies to raise funds and invest in R & D giving them a distinct comparative advantage.
Founded in June 2013, PrediSis is located in Lannion, France by Jean-Louis Fuccellaro (former CEO of Orange Labs in the UK) and Bertrand Grezes-Besset (from Orange Business Service and n°2 of Sofrecom, international consulting firm).
UBIFRANCE, the French agency for international business developement, comes under the aegis of France's Ministry for the Economy, Industry & Employment. UBIFRANCE lies at the heart of France's public-sector export support framework.

About Dan
I am an executive for an international company and a very frequent traveler. As a result, I stay in many hotels across the country and understand what it takes to create a great atmosphere for someone away from home. I think you will find my home to be very comfortable and convenient and will provide a memorable vacation or stay for years to come!
Dan purchased this house in 2010
Why Dan chose Pensacola Beach
I simply fell in love with the beauty of this beach. I was actually here in Pensacola for business and happend to visit the coast area for lunch. I was sold thereafter and have been coming here for 6 years now. I liked it so much, I bought the house! The sugar white sands and emerald waters cannot be compared with any domestic beaches in the US. I have seen them all and this one is the best in my opinion.
What makes this house unique
This neighborhood is very quiet and quaint but is also only 1 mile from the main restaurants and focus areas of Penacola Beach! You really get the best of both worlds here. The sun is great and the water is spectacular especially when the sun hits it in the morning and late evenings. Incredible!

Offensive guard retiring Aaron Wilson
Denver Broncos offensive guard Chris Kuper plans to retire.
Kuper has played eight NFL seasons and is a three-time team captain who played in 90 games for the Broncos.
A former fifth-round draft pick, Kuper started 79 career games.
"I'd like to thank Mr. Bowlen, John Elway, Coach Fox and the coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to play for the Broncos," Kuper said in a statement. "I'm also appreciative of Mike Shanahan for drafting me and bringing me into this organization back in 2006. So many people have supported me during my career, including all my teammates and coaches, my parents, David and Tina, and especially my wife, Cynthia.
"This felt like the right time for me to leave this game on my terms. I'm going to miss hanging out in the locker room, and the offensive line meeting room, in particular. We shared a lot of laughs. I was fortunate to grow up in the game around a good group of veterans, especially Tom Nalen and Ben Hamilton, and became great friends with so many of the guys. I sincerely appreciate all of the support from Broncos fans over the years, and I am excited for new opportunities in the future."
"Chris Kuper had a strong impact on this organization during his eight years in Denver," Broncos general manager John Elway said. "He was a great Bronco whose toughness and grit made us better. I congratulate Chris on his outstanding NFL career and wish him well in his retirement from football."
"'Kup' consistently demonstrated the type of leadership you look for in a team captain," Broncos coach John Fox said. "He earned the respect of his teammates and coaches for his dedication to the game. I congratulate him on a great career, and I thank him for his many contributions to our team."

Apps: Expedia 3.2, Microsoft OneNote 2.0, Pandora 4.4 + Pixter Scanner OCR 2.0
Expedia has updated its Expedia Hotels & Flights (free) app to version 3.2. Previously capable of helping users compare hotel and flight prices, the app now features local experts that can help users book reservations and find activities in Orlando, Las Vegas, and Hawaii, as well as synchronized FlightTrack integration for FlightTrack app users. Notably, the app is universal with a unique workaround for its still-in-progress iPad flight-booking interface: when switching from hotel search to flight search, the iPad app animates a transition to using an iPhone, right on the iPad screen. The updated app also offers more low-cost flights, and more countries, as users in India, Malaysia, Sinagpore, and Thailand can now book flights.
Microsoft's digital notebook Microsoft OneNote has updated its free app for iPad and iPhone to version 2.0. The app improves formatting and consistency across devices, and allows users to create or edit tables. Notes will now sync automatically to SkyDrive Pro and SharePoint. It's also easier to view and find notes, with updated navigation and full page view. Ink annotations and rich text formatting are also now available.
Pandora Media has released version 4.4 of its free Pandora Radio app. The updated claims to improve playback buffering, to keep music "stutter-free" even when dealing with a shaky connection. Also, muting a phone now automatically pauses the music. Additionally, URLs that work on Pandora.com will now "work just as well" on an iPhone.
Affordable and easy to use for optical character recognition, Pixter Scanner OCR ($4/$1) from Quanticapps has updated to version 2.0. The app is now available on the iPad, and its interface has been updated — it now resembles the look of iOS 7, thanks to font and icon changes that borrow from Apple's upcoming operating system. You can scan a document using the iOS device's camera, crop it to spotlight the portion of a page you want turned into text, and then wait a few seconds for the text to appear in editable form. Pixter now supports a variety of new languages, as well: Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, Dutch, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Russian, Swedish, and Turkish.

And another one swims the Tiber.
From the Sacramento Bee:
Jeff Henry's long journey of faith has brought him full circle, not only back to the church in which he was baptized as an infant but also back to serving God. When he's ordained at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on June 4, he will become the Sacramento Catholic Diocese's first converted, married priest.
"This will be new for us," said Bishop Jaime Soto. "I announced it to our priests on Monday, and they're very excited. They were curious but very welcoming of the idea. I think it will be an adventure not just for Jeff and his wife but for us."
With Peg, his wife of 26 years, at his side, Henry called their grown daughter when he learned two weeks ago that the Vatican has approved his application to become a Roman Catholic priest.
"I said, 'Guess what? I'm going to be a father again,' " said Henry, 51, a former Lutheran minister who lives in Vacaville.
There's much more, including details about what led to his conversion. Check it out.

The Lexington is as beautiful and functional as described in the catalog. My husband put it together in less than an hour, all the pieces fit perfectly together. We love how it looks when turned on it gives such a warm glow and heats the room as well. I'm sure we will use it all winter. My husband loves the remote, sure beats hauling wood!

Beautiful cabinet with gorgeous veneer!
By jeffk
from Knoxville, IL
Very very heavy. It comes in two packages on a pallet. The wood surround package is heavy even using a dolly. The delivery driver was nice enough to use a pallet jack to bring it into my garage, even though it was raining out!!! The price was great with free shipping, no tax! The fire is quite realistic and the heater is nice on chilly nights. The wood veneer surround is beautiful and has a fine furniture quality. My wife and family are very pleased, even the dogs like to lie in front of it.

By Pat and Simon
from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
My husband and I first bought one for ourselves to complete a room that we were redecorating and for the function of added warmth. We were so taken with the ease of the on-line order process and fast delivery that we ordered fireplaces for both of our daughters for Christmas. They too are thrilled with the ambience that an electric fireplace brings. It is something that they will always have, given its movability as any other piece of furniture.

Posted by FHM.com, 13 June 2007
"I briefly dated a girl called Genevieve when I was 19, who had two defining qualities. One: she'd learned how to snog from books, so would simply lie absolutely still, eyes closed and her mouth wide open, waiting. And two: she'd 'promised' herself she'd never ever shave. Her pubes were already growing across the top of her thighs.
I think the madness was hereditary, mind. Her mum was a French hippy who served me her 'special' coffee the first time I visited. It was made with her own breast milk."

7 Reasons You're Not Getting Stronger
Strength gains aren't easy. Find out what could be holding you back.
Reason 2: You've Been on the Same Program Far Too Long
Even the greatest of strength training protocols will only work for so long. If you've been banging your head against the wall trying to progress with the same program, no matter how great and proven it is, for the past 6 months, try a new strategy. Adhere to the law of diminishing returns and develop a completely different strength quality (like hypertrophy) for a 4 or 6 week cycle and then come back to your strength training. It may just help you roll right through new personal bests in your big lifts.

I don't know who any of these women are. Before I vote, I suggest a quiet little happy hour with each lovely lady so I can make an informed decision.
I gather Melissa was a winner. She is my fave of all. Liked her the moment I first saw her. So glad she won the silver ball for Dancing with the Stars. I always voted for her.

These Rattler torsional vibration absorbers by TCI are pendulum absorbers developed to control amplitudes of vibration and angle of crankshaft twist like no other design. Their ability to absorb, rather than dampen, is the key to their success. The Rattlers are effective for the entire rpm range and they extend crankshaft and bearing life. The Rattlers also allow the engine to run more smoothly, which can potentially increase valvetrain stability and life. Their design does not utilize viscous fluids and they require virtually no maintenance. You can always depend on the Rattlers' timing marks to be correct because they're etched onto the body and cannot move relative to the crankshaft centerline. The Rattlers are also lighter in weight than most units of the same size and material construction, plus they're SFI 18.1 certified.

Exclusive Video Inside Cooper Union Student Occupation to Protest End of Free Tuition
More than 50 students, faculty and staff at The Cooper Union in New York have begun a sit-in inside the office of the school's president, Jamshed Bharucha. Democracy Now!'s Martyna Starosta filmed students reading an open letter to Bharucha condemning his decision to end the school's longstanding tradition of free tuition for all undergraduates. Shortly after this video was filmed, school officials removed Starosta from the office.
VICTORIA SOBEL: The action began as a sit-in in Jamshed Bharucha's office this morning at 11:00 a.m. The plan was to intercept the president and read this statement to him. Right now we have more than half of the signatures of the School of Art for students, so that is a majority of the students voicing no confidence in Jamshed Bharucha. So, for us, it began as a sit-in. And his absence has marked it as an occupation. He is no longer welcome in this office space. It is one that's been reclaimed by the students, for the students, for this school. It's not about tuition. It's about repealing tuition. It's about reclaiming administrative spaces and re-examining the roles of administration within a school context.
DEVONN FRANCIS: This is a nonviolent direct action. You are not being held in this room. You are free to exit when you please. Jamshed Bharucha, we are here today to deliver you a statement of no confidence from the School of Art. We no longer recognize your presidency at Cooper as legitimate. And in so doing, we commit to reclaim this office in the interim until a suitable administrative alternative is secured.
SEBASTIAN QUIJADA LINK: We, the students of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, can no longer uphold or endorse the direction our college has taken under the leadership of Jamshed Bharucha, with the support of the current board of trustees. As a student—as the students, we are indebted and steadfastly committed to fulfilling the historic mission of Cooper Union as an institution committed to providing students with an exceptional educational experience without the burden of tuition, regardless of need. Central to this mission is the imperative to continue challenging the institutional and societal norms regarding education, accessibility, class mobility, pedagogy and organizational structures. The Union of Art, Architecture and Engineering has empowered a historically diverse student body that for over 150 years has served to shape engaged and creative citizens in and beyond New York City.
As stewards of The Cooper Union, we are viscerally interconnected to Cooper's mission of championing free education to all. We know more intimately than any consulting firm that the integrity of academic and creative excellence achieved by The Cooper Union is intrinsic to the college providing its students full-tuition, merit-based scholarships. Jamshed Bharucha has continually relied on a campaign of marginalizing students, faculty and alumni voices, and has neglected to genuinely engage alternative models and financial solutions brought forth by the community. We see now that Jamshed Bharucha and the board of trustees have committed themselves to maximizing Cooper's expansion, both locally and globally, at the expense of its core values. We know this to be a grave misstep. The college has illegitimately been made to adopt the policy of tuition as a result of a top-down administrative structure that, from inception, relied on disregarding the voices and contributions of students, faculties and the community at large in vital decision-making processes. A persistent lack of transparency in decision making and a failure to adequately articulate a viable future for Cooper Union without tuition has compounded the fundamental issue of the college's governance. The result is administrative insistence that tuition is a foregone conclusion.
In reality, if relieved from this oppressive administration, we stand to reclaim all that Peter Cooper intended for this college and more. As citizens of New York City, we must stand united in the face of mounting adversity as it plagues all of our institutions of learning, private and public. We recognize that this instance of crisis at Cooper Union is also a precious opportunity to radically redefine the thresholds of success and failure in our own terms, necessarily separate from corporate business models of growth and profitability. We see the need for a more explicitly robust system of shared governance, invoking greater faculty, student and community involvement in decision-making processes, a reaffirmed commitment to student diversity by abolishing the imposed tuition, and more respectful college engagement both locally and globally.
As President Jamshed Bharucha has squandered two years of precious time in which the community needed, more than anything, a decisive leader with devout commitment to the mission and vision of Cooper Union, with this vote we express our abhorrence and disapproval of the policies and actions of Jamshed Bharucha's administration. We strongly affirm that we have no confidence in Jamshed Bharucha.
We call upon the faculties of art, architecture, engineering and humanities at The Cooper Union to take the time to uphold the sanctity of this institution by putting forward respective votes of no confidence. We invite and implore our fellow student bodies from architecture and engineering schools to reflect on the mutually exclusive and divergent efforts of the community and those of the administration. By voting no confidence today, we set a future precedent and expectation of deliverable excellence from individuals bestowed with administrative titles. It is time to raise the bar. We extend our invitation to voice no confidence in Jamshed Bharucha to alumni and to the general public. It is time to enact new, more cooperative methods of organizing our colleges and universities. Let this demonstration of no confidence mark your commitment to any number of new viable beginnings for Cooper, and also mark the crucial intolerance of stagnant growth, expansion and capitalist models, which threaten to plague our college. Join us in taking a stand against Jamshed Bharucha's maladministration of Cooper Union. Let us continue to be an institution that leads by example. Join us in keeping Cooper Union free to all.
Cooper Union is one of the last private schools to offer free tuition. The school says students will now be charged on a sliding scale, with tuition as high as $20,000 for those deemed able to afford it. School officials claim those unable to afford tuition still will not have to pay.

Rodney Bingenheimer's Sunday night show on KROQ supplied the sounds that fueled the restless youth as they waited for the weekend and another round of shows. Whether on the west side (The Starwood, The Whisky), downtown (Hong Kong Cafe, Al's Bar), Hollywood (The Masque, Baces Hall) or the beach (Cuckoo's Nest), LA punk was in full effect and there was no turning back!
We even had a great, pioneering TV show (New Wave Theater). Hosted by the late Peter Ivers (punk rock's answer to Art Laboe), New Wave Theater was the very first program to beam bands such as The Plugz, Social Distortion, 45 Grave and tons more to boob tubes all across the SoCal basin.

Ginger Spread
Picked up a jar of Ginger Spread from TJ's last weekend. A little smear on brie iss delish. What other uses??
re: allyally
What a great idea, re the Linzer Tortes, ally. I was thinking of making them for Christmas this year. Half a batch of raspberry and half a batch of ginger sounds delicious *and* festive on the serving platters. Thanks.
Some one gave me a jar - wonderful with hot water and a squeeze of lemon - as a morning wake me up or, I imagine, good w/o the lemon for an upset tummy.
I don't like things that are too sweet in the morning, so I make some plain oats with a spoonful of the ginger spread stirred in -- it's just the right amount of sweet with a good kick of ginger, very tasty and a good way to wake up in the AM.
MMRuth, I also use it as a tea -- great minds, right? ;)
Also seems like it would be a good base for a glaze -- chicken, pork, even lamb.
re: AppleSister
This is exactly the same product.
Haven't tried the TJs version but I like the Ginger People one on peanut butter sandwiches. It's interesting with cheese also.
I LOVE TJ's ginger spread...but it's no longer being delivered to the East Coast...apparently everyone else didn't share my adoration of this product. Are there any alternatives...I need the heat/sweet combo. By the way, I love it w/cheese and crackers but mixed into a good spaghetti sauce, made from scratch or the jar, is truly an amazing combination!! The Ginger spread is also fabulous in your best chicken chili recipe!! Thanks in advance for any assistance!!
If it's similar to the ginger marmalade that I can get here, I've used a couple of spoons of it, put into the pan, on top of cooked carrots or beets, and I suppose it would also be good on cooked cubed sweet potatoes, or butternut squash, as a glaze.
Make this: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo... then whisk together rice wine vinegar with yogurt and ginger spread. Toss w/ ingredients to make yummy waldorf.
Add to cream cheese frosting and top carrot cake cupcakes.
Pulse to a paste in a food processor: carrots, shallots, ginger spread, ginger (optional), soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, olive oil, and a little water... great spread for tuna. You can turn into a dressing by adding a little more seasoned rice wine vinegar, olive oil, and soy sauce.
BBQ Sauce as great spread for chicken
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup ginger spread
2 tsp ginger
1/2 cup water
8 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil, or a little less
Saute the garlic in olive oil. Add the honey, mustard, vinegar, ginger, spread, water and salt and pepper. Cook til combined. Adjust flavors to taste. Simmer to let the flavors come together. Pulse in blender until the chunks disappear. Then blend to emulsify.
I asked this question a few weeks ago-the one suggestion I received that I've tried so far was to heat it up a bit and spoon over some goat cheese, then spread on crackers. It was fabulous!
I am *crazy* about ginger and use it in its various forms regularly. I haven't seen the Ginger Spread, but I understand it's something like ginger & sugar syrup? If so, I'd think some of the ways I use ginger marmalade would work with the spread, too. I use the marmalade as a quick glaze for roasted chicken, sometimes with either another spice mixed in--e.g., Thai curry paste, for extra heat--or maybe mixing in a little Balsamic for a nice, caramel-ly color.
Also, I like to make a chunky apple "sauce" by just cooking down apples and a little maple syrup. Sometimes I cut back on the maple syrup and toss in the ginger marmalade, instead...maybe the spread would work there, too?
For a change - great as a glaze on salmon - spread on top, bake at 400 degrees for 20ish minutes. If you can't find Ginger Spread in your local market - go to GingerPeople.com
Ginger spread is delicious swirl into cheesecake batter right before baking or as a topping after chilled.
In addition to Greek yogurt, ginger spread is tasty added to cottage cheese.
Added to chocolate fondue is delicious too.
re: Katie in Berkeley
I bought a jar of Ginger People spread recently and used a dollop in a poached pear recipe from last month's COTM: A. Waters' The Art of Simple Food. It was just water, sugar and lemon juice. The spread was a great addition.
I mix a spoonful with 1/4 cups of chocolate chips, microwave it for 1 minute then add frozen raspberries. A decadent, quick weeknight dessert.
I made something approximating this spread by putting fresh ginger and sugar in the food processor. To get the ginger a bit finer, I gave it a further blend with an immersion blender.
Mine isn't as stiff as the commercial stuff.. I'm not sure if that's because I didn't use as much sugar, or if the commercial is cooked down some.
Okay, after reading all about it, now I want to find a recipe for making it at home. I've done a search online and have come up with lots of links to talk about TJ's product and an occasional discussion here at Chowhound, but no recipes on making it yourself.
Anybody have one?
I haven't purchased any of TJ's myself... can you tell me the ingredient list on the jar?

re: Julesong
I think TJ dropped a number of Chinese made products a while back, including this one. But as best any us can tell, what they sold was from Gingerpeople, just with the TJ label (same jar). I found the Gingerpeople brand at Manna health food store in Mountlake Terrace. The Gingerpeople website claims their products are sold at a number of stores and chains, including Whole Foods.
The spread is quite sweet but with a good ginger bite. Texture is smooth, with a slight grain, about the stiffness of marmalade.
re: toodie jane
That's what it says on the jar seal.
Their web site talks about US and Australian facilities for baked items and crystalized ginger, but the spread appears to come from China.
re: Julesong
I have the Ginger People version and you can read the labels by visiting:
re: HillJ
Okee, the Ginger People say of the spread: "New Ginger Spread is made from young stem ginger that is steeped in cane sugar syrup and ground to a fine paste."
I'm going to experiment and see what I can come up with. :) Finding young ginger will be the most challenging, but I have loads of Asian markets around here to look through.
On a completely different note and only slightly related, I feel compelled to share my recipe for New Ginger Wine, which is great for the holidays!
** New Ginger Wine - Christmas & Holiday Ginger Wine **
I haven't had traditional ginger wine, but I decided to make a sort of infused ginger wine of my own, and the below is what I came up with. I tried it tonight, and YUM! :) Traditional ginger wine, produced before the holidays from scratch, is popular in some parts of England and Scotland. While this version isn't exactly traditional, this is a tasty addition to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays! Prep time includes letting it sit before serving.
1 day | 1 day prep
SERVES 5 , 1 750ml bottle
* 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind (zest of 1 lemon
) * 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 (750 ml) bottle white wine
* 1/3 cup honey or golden syrup, to taste
* 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
* 1/4 cup raisins, chopped roughly (can use mixture of regular and golden raisings)
* 1 ounce brandy or cognac, to taste
1. In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon zest and juice, wine, honey or golden syrup, ginger, and raisins.
2. Raise the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly until the honey or golden syrup is melted, which will take about 4 minutes, but do not allow to boil.
3. Add the brandy or Cognac and place into glass container.
4. Refrigerate at least one day (or two, to taste), then strain the wine and serve in small glasses; it will be slightly cloudy but very tasty and very good for helping digest those large dinners everybody had!
5. Note: honey and golden syrup have different tastes, and I like both. It's nice to have the both versions of the wine with made, for different folks' tastes!
re: Julesong
Julesong, good luck and thank you for sharing the wine recipe/link. Happy Holidays!
