Lost focus on Outlook "Enter Network Password" dialog box
I've been using Outlook 2007 for a while with no problems. I used to select my account, and when the "Enter Network Password" box popped up it had the focus, so I would just immediately type in my password. I did a set of Windows and Office updates a couple of weeks ago, and now when that box pops up the focus is still on the main Outlook mail reader screen. I have to click the Password box to shift the focus so I can type in my password. Is there a way to restore this automatic focus for the Password panel when it pops up?

Quick Links
To qualify you must satisfactorily complete two synthesis papers, and pass a qualifying exam. The qualifying exam has a written and an oral component. the written component of the qualifying exam could be satisfied through a Qualifying Written Exam (QWE) or a Qualfying Research Paper (QRP). The oral and final component of the exam will be held not more than 10 days after you submit the written component of the exam. You and your Plan of Study Committee must agree whether you will do the QWE or the QRP. It is however, your Qualifying Committee that assesses your qualifying exam or qualifying papers. Below we describe each of the requirements for students to pass their Qualifying exam.
All doctoral students need to successfully complete two synthesis papers in preparation for your qualifying examination. Through two literature review papers, you demonstrate mastery of the existing schools of thought within two distinct areas of planning research. Your papers focus on critiquing and synthesizing prior research and identifying gaps and research opportunities. These papers might form the basis of one or more dissertation chapters or lead to original research papers. Several departmental courses require a course paper that could be written in a way that meets this requirement, and independent study courses provide another way to complete this requirement in parallel with your coursework. There is no required length or format for these papers, but they should be similar in size to journal articles, which are typically about 6,000 to 7,000 words. The Qualifying Committee will guide and assess the student on their synthesis papers.
The Qualifying Written Exam (QWE) tests your ability to integrate materials from your courses in planning theory, research methods and design, and area of specialization and apply them to advanced research questions. It assesses whether you are ready to participate in scholarly discussions and should be invited to submit a dissertation proposal. You should take the exam at the end of the semester in which you complete your required coursework or within one month thereafter.
The content of these exams and the courses you take to prepare for them depend on the type of research you intend to pursue. Prepared by members of your Qualifying Committee, the questions are integrated, sequenced, or otherwise edited by the chair of the committee with the review and consent of the other committee members. You have one week to complete written responses to the questions. Most students do one set of questions each day, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, picking up the questions at 8 AM and e-mailing their answers by 5 PM.
The Qualifying Research Paper (QRP) builds and demonstrates your capacity to integrate theory and appropriate methods to design, conduct, and communicate original scholarly research. Your topic may originate in gaps you identify in your synthesis papers, research problems you encounter as a research assistant, courses that require you to write research papers, or independent study courses, research you read, and ideas you have. Your Plan of Study Committee can offer guidance in defining and producing the qualifying paper, but the analysis and writing must be your own. The assessment and approval of the Qualifying Research Paper are by the Qualifying Committee.
After the Qualifying Committee approves your Qualifying Research Paper, you will get additional feedback at a public presentation organized through the department's doctoral seminars. This public presentation needs to be held at the earliest date possible.
Qualifying Oral Exam
An oral defense of the written component of your exam (be it Qualifying Research Paper or Qualifying Written Exam) should occur before your Qualifying Committee. The oral exam is an important component of your qualifying process. At this oral defense you need to demonstrate your ability to articulate your thoughts and reflect on your subject matter and disciplinary insights in your fields of expertise, engage in scholarly discussion and defend your written papers and statements.
This oral exam is a closed meeting (not open to public) and should be held not more than 10 days after completion of the written component of the exam. Your Qualifying Committee determines your qualification based on the two synthesis papers on file; the written component of the exam you have submitted and the oral component of your exam. In conclusion of the oral exam, the committee will vote whether you pass the qualifying requirements, must be re-examined, or are not qualified to continue your doctoral studies and work toward a dissertation proposal. Any disagreement must be discussed by the committee members and a single result agreed upon. If the committee decides there is sufficient promise to allow a student a re-examination attempt, it may do so only once and must either pass or fail the student on the second attempt. Any reexamination must occur within six months of the student's initial attempt at the qualifying exam.
Archiving your Qualifying Material
To enhance future program review and consistency in expectations, once a student is qualified, the faculty adviser and the advisee are responsible to file with the program Director the final written components of the student's qualifying requirements. This includes final copies of the two synthesis papers and final copy of the Qualifying Written Exam (questions and answers) OR the Qualifying Research Paper. The program Director will upload these material onto a closed access website open to PhD program faculty only.
Plan of Study Committee and Qualifying Committee
The Plan of study (POS) committee consists of the advisor and one other member, agreed upon by both the student and the advisor. The POS committee should be appointed during the first semester and serve to guide the student in the first year.
In the second year, the student should form a Qualifying Committee. This Committee will pick up where the POS committee leaves off and continue to guide the student through their courses, with the purpose of ensuring that they have the appropriate qualifications to do independent research in their chosen field. The Qualifying Committee will guide and assess the student on their synthesis papers and the qualifying exam.
The Qualifying Committee must include your advisor and at least two other faculty members who in combination are knowledgeable about planning theory, your research methods of interest, and your area of specialization. Faculty members from other departments may be included on the committee, but the majority must be faculty from the Regional Planning Ph.D. program. The members may or may not overlap with the POS committee. Often, however, the Qualifying Committee will include both members of the POS committee. The composition of this Committee often is different from that of the committees for the preliminary and final dissertation examinations.

PITTSFIELD, Maine — The age old question of what to wear at your own mugshot might have been answered — how about your previous mugshot?
Robert Burn, according to The Smoking Gun, did just that when he was arrested for operating under the influence and driving without a license.
After pleading guilty to a drunk driving plea, Burt was sentenced to spend two days in custody. Shortly before turning himself in, Burt wrote on his Facebook: "Going to do my 48 hours whoo."
Burt's new mugshot shows him wearing a bright orange t-shirt with a picture of himself holding a slate in a previous mugshot. Wearing a white shirt, he boasts the same brows and mustache in both photos. The orange shirt reads "Burt Family Reunion 8/8-8/10/2014" and "sponsored by Bud Light and Somerset County Sheriff." This apparently refers to one of Burt's relatives who is also incarcerated at the same jail.
Burt later wrote on his Facebook page that corrections officers made him hold the slate in such a way that "you could see the shirt."
"They laughed their asses off," he finished.

New Directions was founded in 1936, when James Laughlin (1914 - 1997), then a twenty-two-year-old Harvard sophomore, issued the first of the New Directions anthologies. "I asked Ezra Pound for 'career advice,'" James Laughlin recalled. "He had been seeing my poems for months and had ruled them hopeless. He urged me to finish Harvard and then do 'something' useful."

DEFINITION of 'Incurred But Not Reported'
A type of account frequently used in the insurance industry to refer to reserves that are established for claims and/or events that have transpired, but have not yet been reported to an insurance company. In these instances, an actuary will estimate the potential damages to a region; the insurance company may decide to set up reserves to allocate funds to those expected losses. To an actuary, these types of events and losses are said to have been incurred, but not reported.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Incurred But Not Reported'
This term is frequently used by insurance companies, particularly along the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States, where hurricanes are common. After a storm hits, actuaries estimate the potential damage to infrastructure and the claims that may be anticipated. Based on this analysis, money is then set aside (in a reserve) to pay for claims. Again, in this example the actual losses have been incurred, but have not officially been reported.

I appreciated the simplicity of the storytelling. I also valued the fact that the story doesn't have a happily ever after ending. In every situation, some things will be won but some lost as well. Recommended for kids as well as a good resource for adults.

Lime Energy Files Certificate Of Amendment To Effect 1 For 7 Reverse Split
Lime Energy Co. (NASDAQ: LIME), a leading provider of energy efficiency for small businesses, announced today that it has filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effect a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of the its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Certificate of Amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 10, 2013.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every seven shares of the Company's pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one share of its common stock. Beginning with the opening of trading on October 11, 2013, the Company's common stock will trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis with a new CUSIP number of 53261U304.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. In accordance with the Certificate of Amendment, Lime stockholders who would have otherwise been due a fractional share will receive a full share. Proportional adjustments will be made to the Company's outstanding warrants, stock options and other equity awards and to the Company's equity compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" will not be required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Stockholders of record who hold physical certificates will receive a transmittal letter from the Company's transfer agent requesting that they surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares resulting from the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who hold their shares in book-entry form will receive a notice from the Company's transfer agent informing them that the number of shares they hold has been adjusted on the transfer agent's books and that they do not need to take any further action to adjust the number of shares held in their name.

LSE and Sciences Po have been institutional partners for the past decade. The annual faculty mobility scheme is the newest initiative in our academic collaboration. The scheme enables faculty to spend at least a month in a host department at the other institution in order to engage with other students; to foster networks between colleagues and help wider departmental and institutional interests.
There are two options in the scheme to give maximum flexibility.
Mode A: shorter visits of one month, whereby visiting faculty deliver at least eight hours of teaching (or a short course) and spend at least four hours with PhD students
Mode B: longer visits of three months, whereby visiting faculty deliver at least 20 hours of teaching, spend at least 10 hours with PhD students and deliver a departmental or public lecture
Participants will continue to receive their normal salary and a travel grant from their home institution. They will also receive a subsistence allowance or salary from the host institution.
Payments impact the utility and wealth of all stakeholders including consumers, businesses and countries. Empirically, new payment systems and the increase in technical efficiencies have been found to positively influence financial stability, consumption, trade and GDP. In the 1970s, automated clearing houses (ACHs) were set-up to replace paper checks with electronic batch processing. This was followed by real-time gross settlement systems (RTGSs), which were the result of the demand for risk reduction in processing high-value payments with settlement finality.
The latest developments in payment infrastructures include the shortening of low-value payments' clearing and settlement times with the move to real-time or near real-time outcomes. This innovation can be facilitated with new retail payment systems being established replacing batch / ACHs or via the use of hybrid RTGS systems. New retail payment systems include the UK's Faster Payments Service (FPS), India's Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) and Sweden's Bankgirot. In addition, Norway and Denmark's NETS and Singapore's G3 are due to go live. Switzerland's SIX-SIS system and Mexico's SPEI are oft-quoted examples of hybrid RTGS's facilitating real-time clearing of retail payments. Such operational upgrades also promote the inclusion of non-bank and under-banked participants and new payment instruments and methods like mobile (e.g. MPESA), internet banking and e-commerce.
Research should provide help for regulators, central banks, payment system providers and industry groups when deciding whether to join in this transformation. Deadline for submissions: 12 May 2014. More|
Regional initiatives such as ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), the Eurozone, COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and SADC (South African Development Community) have fundamental objectives such as "to accelerate the [economic growth and social progress in the region through joint endeavours] in order to strengthen the foundation for a prosperous and peaceful community of its member nations" (as stated under the Objectives in the ASEAN Declaration).
To fulfil such ambitions, greater financial and capital market integration needs to be fostered by reducing intra-regional transactional barriers to trade and investment by minimizing cross-border transfer fees. Interlinked payment systems (e.g. COMESA's regional payment system initiative), a single shared clearing and settlement model (e.g. TARGET 2 and the West African Economic and Monetary Union), a standardised framework for cross-border payments (e.g. the International Payments Framework Association) and simple interoperability between domestic retail platforms have been some of the resulting developments.
Much academic and policy research has highlighted the guidelines and models which can be followed for successful regional integration of financial payment infrastructures. However, less has been documented on the quantitative and qualitative evidence of certain models or rules. Research which is able to empirically shed light on the following questions would thus aid regional development organizations and domestic payments systems to make their informed decisions.

Dr Ruth Kattumuri, India Observatory and Asia Research Centre has, with the University of Hyderabad, India, been jointly awarded £59,367.50 from the British Council UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) to study urban water supply and governance in four Indian cities. The study will examine water policy instruments and focus on institutional capabilities to provide drinking water to urban households in an efficient and equitable manner, while at the same time ensuring sustainability of the resource and minimising conflicts among various stakeholders.
Professor Martin Knapp, PSSRU, has received an award of £2.5m over four years from the ESRC to generate new evidence and feed it into policy and practice discussions so as to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Professor Knapp has also been awarded £210,797 to participate in a European Commission FP7 project on social innovation and civic engagement. The project aims to build a set of testable hypotheses that relate to the Third Sector's key characteristics of strong value sets, persistent multi-stakeholder considerations, and mobilisation of multiple resources, and to test these hypotheses.
Professor Paul De Grauwe, European Institute, has been awarded £235,384 toparticipate in a European Commission FP7 project that seeks to develop elements of a new paradigm which (i) explicitly takes into account the existence of various forms of heterogeneous, boundedly rational behaviour in financial markets as well as in goods and labour markets, (ii) investigates the potential of such behaviour to generate bubbles, crashes and a system-wide break down of activity as collective outcomes of individual activities, (iii) investigates the linkages and repercussions between the complex area of financial activity and real economic activity which could be affected by, for example, the cancellation of credit lines and a breakdown of expected liquidity provision, (iv) studies how the transmission channel of monetary policy works in times of distress in the financial markets (particularly the interbank market) and how it could restore the credit flow from banks to companies operating in the real sector. The results will provide insights into the consequences of different modelling paradigms for the conduct of monetary policy and, in particular, appropriate reactions of monetary authorities to prevalent financial distress.
Dr Mauricio Avendano Pabon, LSE Health and Social Care, has been sub-contracted by Columbia University to participate in a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Network on an Aging Society. The aim of the project is to assess whether intergenerational support moderates the impact of socioeconomic status on depression at old age, and assess the role of institutional arrangements in explaining these links by exploiting variations in policies across European countries and the United States.
Mr Philipp Rode, LSE Cities, has been awarded £176,471 by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to support research on challenges and innovations in urban governance around the world.
Professor Katrin Flikschuh, Government, has received a Leverhulme Trust International Network Grant for £103,264 to bring African and Western normative theorists into intellectual contact with one another in order to counteract the parochial nature of global justice theorising, which currently dominates Western political thinking. The objectives are twofold: first, to scrutinize the distorting effects of this unexamined image on global thinking; second, to enrich global theorising through the inclusion of African intellectual perspectives.
Dr Taisuke Otsu, Economics, has received an award from the European Commission to undertake a project that aims to contribute to advances in the research on semiparametric and nonparametric econometric methods by developing novel estimation and inference approaches in a variety of contexts and applying them to important empirical problems in economics.
Dr Pascal Michaillat, Centre for Macroeconomics, has received an award of £74,424 from the Institute for New Economic Thinking to provide guidance for policy makers on designing policies that are able to bring economies out of recessions.
Dr Rachel Ngai, Economics, has been awarded £143,759 by the British Academy to provide a framework for the quantitative study of housing dynamics, beginning from the household's decision to buy or sell and aggregating to the whole economy. The influence of macroeconomic conditions and housing policy will be key ingredients of the research. The main part of the research will be a quantitative analysis of the British and American housing markets, aiming to provide clear prescriptions about the impact of policy on housing dynamics and their connection with the rest of the economy.

Increasing inequalities across some of the richest countries in the world are not inevitable according to findings from an international research project, which included a team of researchers from LSE.
Published in two volumes, launched at LSE on 27 March 2014, the research shows that public policy plays a key role in shaping national inequalities even within a highly globalized set of rich countries. Information on inequality trends was gathered across 30 countries over the last 30 years.
Evidence of tax reforms across many of the countries reveals a trend towards lowering marginal tax rates for high earners, reductions in taxes on capital and capital income and removal or reductions in inheritance tax. This has been coupled with a reduction in the effectiveness of welfare states in ameliorating background inequality pressures. More|
Periods of high unemployment in the UK see more people admitting to being racially prejudiced and ethnic minorities disproportionately suffering in the job market, according to new research from LSE.
The study looks at changes in self-reported racial prejudice over 27 years and finds the proportion of people who said they were at least a 'little prejudiced' towards those from other races increased slightly whenever the economy took a turn for the worse.
The researchers found a particularly big increase in self-reported prejudice during recessions among the highly-educated. In particular, full-time employed, middle-aged White men, the group most likely to be employers or managers in the workplace, show the largest increase in self-reported prejudice.
In general, highly-educated individuals are less likely to express racial prejudice than other sections of the population. Nevertheless, the research highlights how a four percentage point increase in the unemployment rate - as was seen in the recent Great Recession – matches a 16 percentage point increase in the proportion of educated, employed White men who admitted to some racial prejudice. This is after controlling for variables such as age, education, income and gender. More|
Since 2005, 30,000 people with mental health problems have lost their social care support, following a £90 million shortfall in funding due to cuts to local authority budgets, according to research by the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU), based at LSE.
Adjusting for socio-demographic change[1], this would be equivalent to 63,000 fewer people with mental health problems receiving social care since 2005 and local authorities needing to spend £260million to meet their needs. The research, commissioned by the Care and Support Alliance (CSA), a coalition of 75 charities and organizations, examined the state of social care over a seven-year period (2005/6 – 2012/13).
Dr Jose-Luis Fernandez, PSSRU Deputy Director and co-author of the research, said: "Even before the current public spending austerity programme was introduced, the adequacy of adult social care spending was an issue of concern. More|
Employers need to take a more proactive approach to employees with depression in the wake of figures showing the illness now costs European workplaces an estimated £77 billion a year. The greatest economic loss is through absenteeism and lost productivity, according to a new report by LSE and King's College London.
The report, published in PLOS ONE, reveals that although 30 million people in Europe – and 350 million people worldwide – struggle with depression, many workplaces seriously underestimate its impact. More|
Hospital patients who have been subjected to gross mistreatment and appalling standardsof healthcare will be protected by a new criminal offence of 'wilful neglect' under plans sanctioned by the UK Government.
Law professors Karen Yeung (King's College London) and Jeremy Horder (LSE) have put forward the recommendation in the wake of the Stafford Hospital public enquiry which called for tougher legislation. In an article published in BMJ Quality and Safety this month, the law professors argue that existing legislation only protects mental health patients and children.
"There are a few cases where ordinary people – particularly the elderly and vulnerable – have been subjected to serious failings of care in hospitals in Britain and they have had no criminal redress," Professor Horder said. More|
An independent commission has published its recommendations that government target public policy-making at 'wellbeing', or life satisfaction, not simply economic growth. Wellbeing and Policy, commissioned by the Legatum Institute, is the final report of the Commission on Wellbeing and Policy, chaired by Gus O'Donnell, Chair of Frontier Economics and a Visiting Professor at LSE. Professor Lord Richard Layard, Director of the Wellbeing Programme in LSE's Centre for Economic Performance, was one of the five commissioners tasked with exploring how wellbeing analysis can be usefully applied to policy.
The commissioners conclude that GDP is too narrow a measure of prosperity. Instead, policy should aim at increasing people's satisfaction with their lives, using measures of wellbeing as an indicator of success. The report explains how to define and measure wellbeing and demonstrates how it can be used to measure the success of different policies and different countries. More|
Eleven housing associations in the South West of England have joined forces to tackle the employment issues faced by residents in affordable housing as a direct result of the changes to welfare reform.
HAILO (Housing Association Influence and Leadership Organisation) commissioned Professor Anne Power at LSE to conduct a study, looking at how the government's welfare reform programme will influence tenants' work opportunities in the south west. HAILO's interim baseline report entitled 'Work and welfare reform–impacts in the south west', includes interviews with 200 working age social housing tenants, and brings to life a snapshot of tenants' circumstances at the beginning of welfare reform.

The intensely spiritual Jewish songstress and her mystical band Pharaoh's Daughter just released Songs of Wonder, a klezmer-folk homage to renegade Yiddish philosopher, poet, civil rights activist, and all around mensch Abraham Joshua Heschel. Schechter sets Heschel's poetry to that beguiling harmonic minor sound, with Middle Eastern instrumentation, but any doubts as to accessibility should be cleared up by the fact that it's on John Zorn's Tzadik label, home to everything Jewish and hip. For anyone curious about Kabbalah and looking for a truer entry point than the Madonna bandwagon Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have hopped on, this is it.

While here, you may want to explore Fremont petroglyph sites, historic homesteads and ranches, the many miles of hiking trails, scenic views from the Harpers Corner Road or wild canyons on a whitewater rafting trip.
Dinosaur covers over 210,000 acres and is spread across two states. It can take over four hours to drive from the Quarry Visitor Center in the Utah portion of the monument to the Gates of Lodore area located on the north end of the monument in Colorado. Remember that the nearest fuel, lodging, and other services may be over an hour drive from various points in the monument.

Franchitti secures Long Beach IndyCar pole (VIDEO)
Apr 20, 2013, 7:00 PM EST
Dario Franchitti took his first IZOD IndyCar Series pole since Toronto last year, with the 30th of his career on the streets of Long Beach, Calif.
Franchitti edged Ryan Hunter-Reay, who's often strong at Long Beach, by slightly more than one half a tenth around the 1.968-mile circuit. Franchitti's 1:07.2379 beat RHR's 1:09.2934, with Will Power just behind in P3. Power has now qualified first, second and third in succession.
Takuma Sato, Mike Conway and Helio Castroneves completed the Firestone Fast Six on the grid. Sato has now made the Fast Six in two of the first three races, and would have been quick enough to do so in Barber before a penalty. Conway's return to the series on road and street circuits with RLL has been very smooth, in the top five of each session thus far, and also posted the fastest lap throughout qualifying of 1:07.1937 in the second round of qualifying.
Those knocked out in Q2 included James Hinchcliffe, Tony Kanaan, Charlie Kimball, E.J. Viso, Graham Rahal and JR Hildebrand.
UPDATE: The bottom four on the grid were in positions 24-27 because of penalties issued by IndyCar. Marco Andretti, Justin Wilson, Scott Dixon and Oriol Servia had lost each of their two fastest laps.
Andretti was issued one for blocking in pit lane and Wilson had issues with proper stickering on his rear wing. Meanwhile Dixon spun in Turn 1, which forced Servia off line into the tire barriers, and both cars lost their best laps.
Servia's Panther DRR team appealed the penalty, and it was rescinded by INDYCAR. He will now start 18th. A further update will come in a later post on MotorSports Talk.
A rundown of the crashes from practice are below. Live streaming for Sunday's race will be available online at http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/.

FORT WORTH — Pier 1 Imports is making strides with its resurrected e-commerce site, hoping to see 10 percent of sales from the Internet by the end of 2016.And so far, the chain doesn't see much poaching from its brick-and-mortar customers, executives told analysts at an investor day meeting in Fort Worth."In the future, we will give our customers a selection of unique and special products many times bigger than what it is today," CEO Alex Smith said at Tuesday's event. "They will be able to shop our full assortment online, from their home, their office or on the move."In the fourth quarter, Pier 1's online site offered bedding, which is not offered in stores, and management indicated that it will continue to sell such exclusive merchandise to Internet shoppers while keeping the number of store products relatively flat.Online growth will mean enlarging its fulfillment center, now in its Mansfield distribution building."Five years from now, if not sooner, we know there'll be a need to expand beyond just one center," said Cary Turner, Pier 1's chief financial officer. "Our plans include expanding into multiple e-commerce fulfillment centers by effectively leveraging our existing supply chain so that we are ready when the time is right."Turner said the e-commerce retail channel is still in its "crawl" phase but eventually could generate up to 20 percent of the home furnishing chain's sales. Pier 1 returned to online sales in July after shutting down the business when Smith was hired in 2007 to resurrect the ailing enterprise.Some analysts liked what they saw and heard Tuesday.Bradley Thomas of KeyBanc Capital Markets said in a research note: "We continue to believe the [Pier 1] story remains compelling with same-store sales that are among the best in our coverage. … We remain positive on the company's strategic direction, marketing and merchandising initiatives, and ability to gain market share. As such, we reiterate our buy rating" for the stock (ticker: PIR).Shares of Pier 1 declined by 3 cents to $23.97 in trading Wednesday.According to an edited transcript of the event, Pier 1 gave a glimpse of its customer profile."Our research tells us we have a high brand awareness with a very loyal customer base," said Don Kinnison, vice president for marketing and visual merchandising. "Our customer base consists of a wide range of demographics and psychographics. Our core customer is between the ages of 25 and 55, with an average household income of around $80,000 and 75 percent own a home."Sales per square foot in the chain's stores were $198 at the end of 2012, down from $235 a decade ago (about $275 in today's buying power). Turner said the three-year sales target is $225, with a potential for $250.The CFO also discussed initiatives to raise the operating margin from 11.7 percent achieved last year.

The Jesus Film Continues to Change Lives Around the World: Adam Jones ('88) Shares How Technology is Providing Greater Access to the Film
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Adam Jones ('88) spoke on July 18 to a group of his classmates and other friends at HBA's Art and Science multi-purpose room at the high school campus. When Jones began working with The Jesus Film 21 years ago, it was already being dubbed into many languages. But the process was slow and laborious. Using his computer engineering skills, he was able to speed it up to 120 languages a year. It has now been dubbed into 1,239 languages and has been shown in practically every country on earth.

Chicago, IL – According to the Power Transmission Distributors Association, its PTDA Business Index for the first quarter of the year (1Q2014) indicates continued growth in the power transmission/motion control market but tempered expectations for year-end 2014.
The quarterly survey of PTDA's distributor and manufacturer members continues to point to growth, with the 1Q2014 Business Index at 63.6, up from the 4Q2013 reading of 60.2. However, when asked about their outlook for the entire year, survey participants lowered their expectations from 7% growth to 6% growth, suggesting expectations of weakness later in the year.
The index reading indicates the rate of change compared with the previous period. For example, a reading of 50 indicates no change from the prior period while readings above 50 indicate growth and below 50 indicate contraction. The further the index is above or below 50 suggests a faster or slower rate of change.
The entire 1Q2014 PTDA Business Index report is available through PTDA's website at www.ptda.org/index. It includes distributor and manufacturer breakout data in addition to historical data. The PTDA Business Index is modelled after the Purchasing Managers Index and tracks change in business activity, new orders, employment, supplier deliveries, inventories, prices and backlog in the PT/MC industry to arrive at an overall index.
PTDA is a global association for the industrial power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) distribution channel. Headquartered in Chicago, it represents 168 power transmission/motion control distribution firms that generate more than $16 billion in sales and span over 3,400 locations in nine nations. PTDA members also include over 200 manufacturers that supply the PT/MC industry.

Which skater do you feel was the most 'robbed' at U.S. Nationals this year?
Mirai Nagasu
Ryan Bradley
Inoue and Baldwin
Navarro and Bommentre
Belbin and Agosto
Sasha Cohen
Brandon Mroz
Ashley Wagner
Beatrisa Liang
Other (Please Specify)
Which skater do you feel was the most 'robbed' at U.S. Nationals this year?
I chose Ryan
but to be honest the skaters all pretty much robbed themselves of the chance to make the team... or place higher or whatever...
except for Mirai who skated well, just didn't get the rotations
I don't think anyone was robbed.
But...I liked Navarro and Bommentre' free dance a lot. However, Susie Wynn (or was it tracey Wilson) did a good job of explaining why I should have liked Samuelson and Bates better.
Bebe Liang was scored fairly, but I was so happy for her for her free skate!
I voted for Ryan Bradley - he easily had the best mens free skate and deserved a spot on the Olympic team.
I think Belbin and Agosto are close behind, but not as much.
As for Sasha Cohen, this is a difficult one for me - I've been a fan of Sasha's since her 2000 short program in my hometown of Cleveland, but at this point, I feel like she's had her chance and it's time for the new blood to step up.
I don't believe anyone was robbed, but I did prefer B&A over D&W... it was a more modern and technical program - and it screamed OGM. D & W were awesome, but I felt like I'd seen that program a thousand times before. And to Phantom of the Opera! Seriously? Please.
But I hate that music and don't really understand Ice Dance and its technical elements outside of twizzles...
Personally I wouldn't consider Nagasu robbed since she still gets to go to Vancouver, but I could see why some would say that.
Inoue and Baldwin not going is a travesty.. I watched Evora and Ladwig again, and I can't believe they came second over I&B... I know I&B skated pretty slowly, but still, E&L botched one of the SBS jumps and she fell on the 3L!!
Oh yeah, and while I LIKED Navarro and Bommentre's FS better than Samuelson and Bates', I have to admit S&Bs was technically better.
I voted for Mirai Nagasu. I've watched her LP three times and admittedly don't see where the jumps were under-rotated.Her program was wonderful and by the results of the poll I just utilized, the majority feel she didn't get the marks she deserved. At any rate, they will all have their hands full with Mao Asada and Yu-Na Kim. What a spectacular ladies event that will be at the Olympics and Worlds. I can't wait!
I didn't vote because I felt that the judging was pretty much spot on.
I didn't expect to see this poll be bumped in May!! I feel Sasha was great in the short-first place worthy.
It might be fun to hear Frankel's opinion about the US Ladies event.........
