Freestyle Fellowship - The Promise
For the older hip hop heads, all I have to say is that there is a new Freestyle Fellowship album, and that's all they need to know. But for a group that hasn't released a new album in almost ten years, there are a whole new group of hip hop fans that have come of age without them on the scene. This is a group consisting of Aceyalone, Myka 9, Self Jupiter, P.E.A.C.E., and DJ Kiilu Grand, who got in at the ground floor of the alternative hip hop scene in L.A. at the open mic nights at the Good Life Café. The group's 1993 album, Innercity Griots was considered an instant classic, but they went on hiatus shortly after due to the incarceration of Self Jupiter. Since then, we got teased with a reunion in the early '00s, but that went as quickly as it came. Myka 9 and Aceyalone have been prolific in their solo careers, but I know I speak for many when I say that it's no substitute for the fun interplay that happens when all of these emcees get together.
The essence of Freestyle Fellowship is as apparent as ever on The Promise, which is that this is a group emcees who are good friends that push each other in friendly competition to out-rhyme each other. Other groups with weaker backgrounds might take this to mean tearing each other down, and possibly drop some ignorant or hateful lines. However, Freestyle, with their background in the Good Life, a place that encouraged creativity and didn't tolerate cussing and negativity, push each other in a positive way. When one is rapping, you can almost hear the others scheming, thinking about switch up their flow, using a different rhyming cadences, dropping really clever references. It's this essence that means that even when a song or album doesn't come together completely, it's still going to be fun, energetic, and challenging.
If you want to cut to the chase and hear if the Fellowship still have it, just start with "Step 2 to the Side," produced by Exile. The production is minimalist, yet really effective, with a horn sample announcing their presence like a fanfare before a deliberate down tempo beat kicks in, with a woman's voice echoing the horn line in the background. Fellowship then begins to reclaim their place with a calm assuredness as they tell everyone to get out of their way. And while they can throw down with some battle rhymes, it's really with their "message" songs that Fellowship shine. In a four song stretch from "Gimmie" through "Daddies," we really get to see what makes Freestyle Fellowship special. On "Gimmie," we follow the titular character who struggles with poverty, drugs, and violence, ultimately leading to his untimely death. It seems like well worn territory, except for a few key aspects. One is the extremely inventive production and vocal arrangements on the track, that creeps along with strings and disjointed drums, but then breaks down toward the end with a sort of hip hop "Bohemian Rhapsody," where the beat drops out and strings and piano play the motif while a range of voices come in, from falsetto down to bass singing Gimmie's eulogy. This is complimented by each emcee providing a different perspective on his life, but all treating this character as someone they know, interspersed with quotes in Gimmie's voice, making his story resonate on a much more personal level. This is followed by "Government Lies," which rocks a capella for almost a minute and a half before the beat kicks in, which sounds like some British grime beats, all while they rhyme about not trusting the powers that be. While others use moments like this to make their words sound more important, Freestyle are really just using their voices and flows as instruments and keep the song moving at a quick tempo before it's time to complicate things with more musical elements. "Introspective" is exactly what it sounds like, with a melancholy midtempo beat that moves along while the Fellowship opens up to their audience about where they are with their lives. This four song run is rounded off by "Daddies," a song that could easily turn cheesy, but Fellowship quickly make it sound cool to be a dad, using a mixture of humor, pop culture references, and real life experiences to make the track resonate. If you're new to Freestyle Fellowship, listen to these four tracks and I think you'll have a pretty good idea why this group is so important to the L.A. hip hop scene.
The Promise does have a couple of slip ups, most notably "Candy," produced by Black Milk, a throw away R&B/hip hop track that just sounds tired and hackneyed, even in their hands. Those moments are few and far between, though. It's been a minute since the last Freestyle album, but The Promise quickly reminds us about what made them great. They're a group of talented emcees that all push each other to step out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves and their listeners, all while making the music as entertaining as possible. I know I'm not the only one that's glad to have them back.

Adds to its growing family of CCRCs with expansion into Alabama; Community to be renamed Magnolia Trace
WEST POINT, Pa., June 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, a premier not-for-profit retirement services organization, has announced that it has completed its acquisition of Carlton Cove, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Huntsville, Alabama. The community will be renamed Magnolia Trace and become the 19th ACTS continuing care community and the third retirement community the organization has acquired rather than built. ACTS is a mission-driven, faith-based company formed more than 35 years ago by a Pennsylvania pastor and members of a non-denominational church.
"We are thrilled with the opportunity to expand our mission into Alabama and bring a new era of high quality retirement living to the greater Huntsville area," said Marvin Mashner, ACTS President and CEO. "We have many exciting plans in store for Magnolia Trace, and we look forward to enhancing the quality of life for Huntsville seniors for many years to come."
Magnolia Trace is located in south Huntsville, Madison County, and currently has approximately 180 residents and 160 employees. The 43-acre community has 162 independent living apartments and single family homes and also provides personal daily assistance, skilled nursing care and Alzheimer's/memory support in an on-site health center. Magnolia Trace has numerous amenities and services including formal and casual dining venues, a fitness center, indoor pool, tennis court, woodshop, and many social and recreational activities.
ACTS' other life care communities are full-service CCRCs offering a mix
of independent living and single family homes, assisted living, skilled
nursing care and Alzheimer's care on the same campus. The ACTS life care
contract guarantees that a resident's monthly fee will not increase as a
result of moving from independent living to assisted living or to

Families Unplug for One Week in Screen-Free Challenge
Three local families forgo their tablets, TVs, computers and smartphones for one week – one long week. Find out how they fared – and whether you could go screen-free like them.
(page 1 of 4)
Imagine giving up all digital entertainment for a week. No Xbox. No Netflix. No smartphones. Not even network TV. Would you do it? Could you?
We rely so much on media to keep us busy, we may not even realize how often we're tuning out of real life. It can quickly become a mindless addiction … texting at dinnertime, compulsively checking email, turning every family outing into a status update.
According to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, screen media dominates the lives of far too many kids, displacing other activities integral to childhood like reading, playing, creating and daydreaming.
The CCFC says excessive screen time has been linked to poor performance in school, childhood obesity and attention problems.
To combat the negative effects of digital overindulgence, the organization sponsors an annual Screen-Free Week celebration that asks families to unplug everything except essential work and school activities for seven days.
In anticipation of 2014 Screen-Free Week, which is May 5-11, we asked three Metro Parent families to go on a digital diet for one week in March. All three families depended on screen entertainment in their own unique ways and found giving it up to be difficult but enlightening.
A mid-week snow day off school made the experience even more challenging – and even led one family to give up and plug back in early.
We hope their stories inspire you to take the Screen-Free Week Pledge, or at least more closely analyze how media impacts your own family.

Obama talks 2nd term; Romney zeroes in on economy
DAVENPORT, Iowa President Barack Obama is confidently predicting speedy second-term agreement with Republicans to reduce federal deficits and overhaul immigration laws, commenting before setting out Wednesday on a 40-hour campaign marathon through battleground states that could decide whether he'll get the chance. Republican Mitt Romney looked to the Midwest for a breakthrough in a close race shadowed by a weak economy.
Romney declared, "We're going to get this economy cooking again," addressing a boisterous crowd in Reno, Nev., before flying back eastward to tend to his prospects in Ohio and Iowa. Romney urged audience members to consider their personal circumstances, and he said the outcome of the Nov. 6 election "will make a difference for the nation, will make a difference for the families of the nation and will make a difference for your family, individually and specifically."
With 13 days until Election Day, opinion polls depicted a close race nationally. Romney's campaign claims momentum as well as the lead in Florida and North Carolina, two battleground states with a combined 44 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Obama's aides insist the president is ahead or tied with his rival in both of those states and in the other seven decisive battlegrounds.
Not even Obama, in an interview with radio host Tom Joyner, predicted that fellow Democrats would win control of the House from Republicans, who are looking to renew a majority they won two years ago in a landslide triggered by the tea party.
The Democrats and Republicans are struggling uncertainly for control of the Senate. And for the second time, a hard-fought Senate campaign was jolted by a dispute over abortion, in this case a statement by Republican Richard Mourdock of Indiana that when a woman becomes pregnant by rape, "that's something God intended" and there should be no abortion allowed.
Romney said he disagreed with the remarks. However, unlike an earlier abortion-related controversy involving Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri, Romney did not disavow his support for Mourdock, who is locked in a close race with Rep. Joe Donnelly, his Democratic opponent.
Obama used his appearance Wednesday on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" to criticize Mourdock, telling the late-night audience that "rape is rape" and that the Republican's comments "don't make any sense to me."
"This is exactly why you don't want a bunch of politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women's health care decisions," Obama said. "Women are capable of making these decisions in consultation with their partners, with their doctors. And for politicians to want to intrude in this stuff, oftentimes without any information, is a huge problem. And this is obviously part of what's stake at this election."
The president's major focus was his coast-to-coast-and-back again tour.
"We're going to pull an all-nighter. No sleep," the president said shortly after Air Force One touched down in Iowa, first stop of a swing that included Colorado, California, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia and Florida, with a quick stop in Illinois to cast an early ballot, before he returns to the White House on Thursday evening.

Birmingham weather can be characterized as temperate maritime, similar to that of the British Isles. Furthermore, the weather is typically English with rainfall occurring throughout the year; however it is more moderate than the coast. During summer, Birmingham weather average maximum temperature is approximately 20 °C. The average temperature in winter is around 4.5 °C and precipitation is heavier during this time of the year.
Birmingham weather rarely experiences extreme conditions. However, tornados have been known to take place in the area. The most recent tornado occurred in July 2005 in the south of the city, which caused extended material damages.
The weather in Birmingham during summer is normally mild, however, occasional heatwaves, have become more common in recent years, with the most severe being the one of 2006. While winters used to be a lot colder in the past, they have now become milder and snowfall is becoming much less frequent.
As other large cities, Birmingham weather experiences a considerable 'urban heat island' effect. This means that while the temperature can be very low on the perimeters of the city, the temperature is considerably higher in the city center, even during night time.
Due to its inland location and comparatively high elevation, Birmingham receives fair amounts of snowfall. However, this has become less frequent over the last years. The average sunlight hours range from 2 during winter and 6 during summer.

In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks have come many proposals for tightening security; some measures to that end have already been taken. Civil libertarians are troubled. They fear that concerns about national security will lead to an erosion of civil liberties. They offer historical examples of supposed overreactions to threats to national security. They treat our existing civil liberties—freedom of the press, protections of privacy and of the rights of criminal suspects, and the rest—as sacrosanct, insisting that the battle against international terrorism accommodate itself to them.
I consider this a profoundly mistaken approach to the question of balancing liberty and security. The basic mistake is the prioritizing of liberty. It is a mistake about law and a mistake about history. Let me begin with law. What we take to be our civil liberties—for example, immunity from arrest except upon probable cause to believe we've committed a crime, and from prosecution for violating a criminal statute enacted after we committed the act that violates it—were made legal rights by the Constitution and other enactments. The other enactments can be changed relatively easily, by amendatory legislation. Amending the Constitution is much more difficult. In recognition of this the Framers left most of the constitutional provisions that confer rights pretty vague. The courts have made them definite.
Concretely, the scope of these rights has been determined, through an interaction of constitutional text and subsequent judicial interpretation, by a weighing of competing interests. I'll call them the public-safety interest and the liberty interest. Neither, in my view, has priority. They are both important, and their relative importance changes from time to time and from situation to situation. The safer the nation feels, the more weight judges will be willing to give to the liberty interest. The greater the threat that an activity poses to the nation's safety, the stronger will the grounds seem for seeking to repress that activity, even at some cost to liberty. This fluid approach is only common sense. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson gave it vivid expression many years ago when he said, in dissenting from a free-speech decision he thought doctrinaire, that the Bill of Rights should not be made into a suicide pact. It was not intended to be such, and the present contours of the rights that it confers, having been shaped far more by judicial interpretation than by the literal text (which doesn't define such critical terms as "due process of law" and "unreasonable" arrests and searches), are alterable in response to changing threats to national security.
If it is true, therefore, as it appears to be at this writing, that the events of September 11 have revealed the United States to be in much greater jeopardy from international terrorism than had previously been believed—have revealed it to be threatened by a diffuse, shadowy enemy that must be fought with police measures as well as military force—it stands to reason that our civil liberties will be curtailed. They should be curtailed, to the extent that the benefits in greater security outweigh the costs in reduced liberty. All that can reasonably be asked of the responsible legislative and judicial officials is that they weigh the costs as carefully as the benefits.
It will be argued that the lesson of history is that officials habitually exaggerate dangers to the nation's security. But the lesson of history is the opposite. It is because officials have repeatedly and disastrously underestimated these dangers that our history is as violent as it is. Consider such underestimated dangers as that of secession, which led to the Civil War; of a Japanese attack on the United States, which led to the disaster at Pearl Harbor; of Soviet espionage in the 1940s, which accelerated the Soviet Union's acquisition of nuclear weapons and emboldened Stalin to encourage North Korea's invasion of South Korea; of the installation of Soviet missiles in Cuba, which precipitated the Cuban missile crisis; of political assassinations and outbreaks of urban violence in the 1960s; of the Tet Offensive of 1968; of the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the subsequent taking of American diplomats as hostages; and, for that matter, of the events of September 11.

We loved the music, the delightful silent movies and the theatrical performance. It was especially funny in that the gentleman sitting behind us was selected to come up on stage and be filmed as part of the skit and then later we were surprised when he appeared in "The Pie" silent movie. He was laughing so hard that my mother and I were also laughing so hard we were almost crying.Wendy Potthoff

Pavane for a Dead Princess

Friends You Should Invite to the Next Concert
Thank you so much for a wonderfully amazing evening. The movies and Buntport were great and the MSCO was flawless. I certainly hope that you will continue with that concept.Arthur
It can best be summed up in one word: magnificent! From the Ives and its calling to take heed to the journey's call, to Lauridson's Lux Aeterna and being taken to a heavenly realm, the journey for me, and I hope many others, was both shamanic and Dantesque in nature.
Thank you very much for this adventure, and this opportunity to hear and learn.Earl

Interior painting materials?
I'm going to have to paint parts and pieces in my interior, and wonder what I should use, prep materials and paint.
The dash sheetmetal will be painted, but I'm not sure I want to paint it body colour (black cherry-ish) and I'm also not sure I want it GLOSSY.
I have heard a semi gloss called "Sem" or something that sounds like "Sem" is what I should be looking at. I can't find it?
I have to paint my rollcage as well, any tips on prep or paint?
I looked through old threads, but couldn't find what I need...?
SEM sells many paint additives, flex agents, gloss additives and flatteners. The flattners are what are added to interior colors. SEM or other brands are available at well stocked auto paint supply stores.
As for roll bar, I usually grind and smooth off all the Mig beads and other imperfections then scuff down with 220 paper and then grease and wax remover, metal prep and prime/seal with a good non sanding sealer.
Look for S.E.M. Trim Black. It comes in a rattle can and bigger sizes for spray guns. I don't know how it would hold up in an interior though with oily finger prints and the like.... You may be better off to spray it with a regular topcoat and then shoot on a mat clear like PPG's 260/dx61.
To prep round stock like your roll bar I use the foam sanding blocks or Scotch-Brite. Wraps right around the tube and really shortens up the sanding time...
I can scotch brite for the prep, but I can't touch the welds, it's a 7.50 legal cage!
So, SEM is aded to paint to cut down on the shine? It's a flattener?
I can't wait to try to paint the cage, there is so little room around the bars in places. I guess an airbrush and a whole lotta patience...?
Thanks guys!
The S.E.M. Trim Black is a paint. You can spray it right out of the can... It's used for blacking out.... trim.

Form my website:
Dash and garnish painting, (leather look) : You can go to your local auto paint or upholstery supply store and get the cans of SEM vinyl and plastic spray paint ( The color you want to do the interior with ) and paint the dash and garnish moldings with this ( you can also have it mixed ). " It works great." Then the upholster can match the leather to the dash and garnish moldings. This way the dash and moldings look just like the leather, clean and neat!

We have a planfor every budget
Companies Mentioned
TORONTO, CANADA / ACCESSWIRE / May 1, 2014 / ONEnergy Inc. ("ONEnergy" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: OEG and OEG.A), a growing provider of innovative energy and energy conservation products and services to residential, industrial and commercial customers in North America, held its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") on April 29, 2014 in Toronto, Ontario. At the Meeting shareholders approved the election of David A. Rattee, Lawrence Silber, Stephen J.J. Letwin, Stanley H. Hartt, and Mark J. Lewis to serve as directors of the Corporation, and approved the appointment of BDO Canada LLP as auditors of the Corporation. Further, a resolution to approve the adoption of a Deferred Share Unit Plan for non-executive directors of the Corporation was passed. The Corporation has subsequently received the acceptance for filing of this plan by the TSX-V.
ONEnergy had, in its information circular dated March 13, 2014, also proposed resolutions to authorize the following:
-a capital reorganization into a single class of shares from the current dual-class structure (the "Capital Reorganization Resolution");
-a share consolidation of the outstanding shares (the "Consolidation Resolution"); and
-continuance to Ontario jurisdiction under the Ontario Business Corporations Act (the "Continuance Resolution").
The board and management of the Corporation has consistently held that the above resolutions are in the best interests of ONEnergy and its shareholders, and continues to maintain this view. It appears that shareholders overwhelmingly agreed, as proxies received prior to the Meeting were voted 99.74% (multiple voting shares) and 99.76% (subordinate voting shares) in favor of the Capital Reorganization Resolution, and 99.73% and 93.06% in favor of the Continuance Resolution and the Consolidation Resolution, respectively. However, the Corporation was forced to withdraw those resolutions from consideration at the Meeting as a consequence of having received notices of dissent in respect of the resolutions from two shareholders. Had the above resolutions not been withdrawn and been passed by shareholders, and the Corporation proceeded with implementation of either of the Continuance Resolution or the Capital Reorganization Resolution it may have resulted in the Corporation being required to pay an unacceptable amount of cash to those two shareholders.

Larry Jones is very talented. His singing voice is fantastic and most of his impressions are very good. Even when he does not sound exactly like the celebrity he is impersonating, it is enjoyable to listen to him sing. He is friendly and personable and has a great on-stage presence. During the show, he occasionally has the audience sing along with the choruses, which livens up the crowd. We attended on a Monday night and the theater was only half-full, but it was great fun anyway. It appears to me that every seat in the house is a good one because the theater is small. I would recommend the show to others.

This event was great! Have seen him 2-3 times before and still love his show. It is causel and worth all the money we paid (was a Goldstar Event) so we got tickets cheaper but would see him either way. EXCELLENT Impressionist!!!

Larry did many great impressions, but missed by a mile on many as well. The Harmon Theatre is a dump! I felt sorry for Larry. The stage is very small and it looked like they did not spend a penny on dressing up the place. He deserves better!

Larry G. Jones was really great. The Harmon Theater leaves a lot to be desired and Larry truly deserves a better venue for his terrific talent. Worth seeing.
This fast-paced, fun-filled show features an all-star celebrity roster of rapid-fire voice impressions including many of Las Vegas' biggest headliners — Cher, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Elvis, Phantom of the Opera, the Rat Pack and more. Sometimes the impersonations are a tribute to the artist and at other times the hats, props, wigs, and song parodies bring their Las Vegas headliner status to a whole new level of fun. When you throw a few comedians, Hollywood celebrities, and presidential voices into the mix there's enough clean comedy and music to appeal to just about anyone who enjoys great music and comedy.

Alumni Reflections
"I am in this program to have communication with my children and to get a good job. I like to share with my child in his class during PACT Time. I have a better future."
"One of the things I really like about class is the tutors. They have a good attitude and don't get mad if they have to explain things to me more than once. I also really like that we do different things — working in books, whether by myself, with a tutor, or in a small group; using flash cards; discussing stories; and working to speed up my math calculations."
"I feel blessed to be part of the Family Literacy Program because I know it helps me with English reading, writing and speaking skills. I really value PACT Time and know that it has helped me work on homework and other assignments with my 5th grade son."

Research & Impact
In the Willamette MBA program, faculty and students engage in academic research and projects that impact real organizations and have consequences in the real world. Browse the topics below to learn more about current projects and faculty members who have been quoted in the popular press.
Research Projects
Professor Lisbeth Claus envisions the future of Human Resources.
A court transcriber from a New York firm took a nasty fall in the shower of his Toronto hotel.
A French executive was kidnapped and held for ransom in Colombia.
The daughter of an Australian employee on assignment in Jakarta contracted dengue fever.
What exactly is a company's obligation when it sends employees and their families overseas on assignment?
That question has launched Lisbeth Claus Ph.D., SPHR, GPHR, Professor of Global HR at Willamette University, and the 2003 President of The Global Forum, the international division of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), farther to the front of the world stage.
The Six Sigma program saved Motorola over $16 Billion in the 1980s. General Electric reported savings of $12 Billion over the first five years of its implementation. Today, organizations of all sizes and industries seek practitioners who can help them attain the lauded performance of a mere 3.4 defects per 1,000,000 opportunities.
At Willamette, the system of quality management methods is taught by Henry Bi, Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems.
No one disputes that our government needs to evolve. That's where the consensus stops.
The newly formed, non-partisan Institute for Modern Government (IMG) seeks to change that. By drawing on academic and professional resources, the IMG studies and supports public organizations facing today's operational and management policy issues.
Market Research For The Real World
Contributing professor Marianne Bradshaw unifies experiential learning with community service.
"It's not enough to know how to conduct strong market research; you have to understand why you're doing it. What are the objectives of the research? How will the research impact decisions? What data will help guide that action?"
Drop By Drop - Studying The Next Wave Of Globalization
As global management evolves, Dr. Gary Knight examines the emerging majority.
Having authored six books and 40 refereed articles in academic journals, it will come as no surprise to learn that Dr. Gary Knight, Professor of Global Management and Helen Simpson Jackson Chair in International Management, was ranked in the six leading international business journals as one of the top 15 most prolific scholars in the United States, and one of the top 30 worldwide.

How Angels Can Enjoy The Best Returns -- Financial And Otherwise
Forbes (2014: Sep 4)
"Let's start with the largest study and what we can learn from it to enhance financial returns. Rob Wiltbank, CEO of software company Galois and professor at Willamette University, collected data on exits – good and bad – from hundreds of angels in the Returns to Angel Investors in Groups. The study found that the overall return for the 1,100 plus exits in the dataset was 2.6 times the invested money in 3.5 years, or about 27% gross Internal Rate of Return."
Ringold shares insights on the value of private, liberal arts education
Oregon Business (2014: Aug 26)
"Research finds that high quality liberal arts colleges are committed to practices repeatedly demonstrated to produce positive student outcomes. These are: frequent student-faculty interaction; frequent student-student interaction; generous expenditures on student services; a strong faculty emphasis on diversity; frequent use of interdisciplinary and humanities courses; frequent use of courses that emphasize writing; frequent use of narrative evaluations; infrequent use of multiple choice exams; frequent involvement of students in independent research; and frequent student involvement in faculty research."
Educating angels: How a local university is building the next generation of entrepreneurs
Portland Business Journal (2014: Aug 20)
"While the latest funding round for PayRange included a number of big names, one of the lesser known investors may be the most interesting.
Included in the round was the Willamette University Angel Investment Fund, a fact that was pointed out to me by fund advisor Rob Wiltbank, who himself is a noted angel investor and researcher.
What makes this angel investment fund stand out is its members. It consists of 14 second-year MBA students in the Atkinson Graduate School of Management at Willamette University. The fund has been around for six years and has a portfolio of 20 companies."
The Great Lakes: Home to 'South Bay Bessie' and some of the most active angel investors in the country
Inc.com (2014: Aug 7)
Robert Wiltbank, a contributing associate professor at Willamette University, who worked on the report, says it's too soon too tell if the spike in Great Lakes deals is a one-time phenomenon or the beginning of a trend. But he does say some angels in the region did some "really solid, co-invested deals" with early-stage venture capitalists this time around, in both the medical devices and the technology industries.
Fred Thompson: Do You Really Think the DOD Spent $140 Billion to Protect the Lowland Gorilla?
Oregon Economics Blog (2014: July 9)
Why doesn't the US government just pay for vaccine research for diseases prevalent in the 3rd world? It does, but its budget is limited. Moreover, in most instances vaccination programs aimed at diseases for which vaccines now exist are far more cost effective than the development of new vaccines. "A systematic review of the literature on the cost-effectiveness and economic benefits of vaccines in low- and middle-income countries conducted by IVAC was published in the December 17, 2012 issue of Vaccine. The review identified 108 relevant articles from 51 countries spanning 23 vaccines. Among the 44 articles that reported costs per QUALY saved, vaccines cost less than or equal to $100 per QUALY in 23 articles (52%) and less than $1,000 per QUALY in 38 articles (86%)." (Ozawa et al.)
Fred Thompson: Some Modest Suggestions For Fixing Oregon's Property Tax System
Oregon Economics Blog (2014: June 17)
Thanks to a series of initiatives and referenda during the decade of the 1990s, primarily Measure 5, enacted in 1990, and Measure 50, enacted in 1997, Oregon has acquired a one-off property-tax system, which emphasizes stable growth in tax payments and inter-jurisdictional uniformity in tax rates. The system seems to be somewhat popular. At least the property tax no longer consistently tops the worst-tax list in local polls. Nevertheless, the prestigious City Club of Portland, after a year spent studying property taxes, concluded that "the current Frankentax has got to go" and proposed to restore the property tax system that was in effect in 1990, with some major modifications.
The role of higher education as K-12 underperforms
Oregon Business (2014: May 30)
"...since 1970 the performance of our public education system has steadily deteriorated. By 2009, 26% of the nation's high school seniors performed at or above "proficient" on the US Department of Education's 12th-grade mathematics assessment. That same year, 38% of the nation's high school seniors performed at or above "proficient" in reading. In 2011, 24% of high school seniors were deemed at or above "proficient" in writing. Nonetheless, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about two-thirds of all high school graduates enroll in undergraduate programs."
Fred Thompson: Capitalism Is Biased In Favor Of Capitalists I (Part II)
Oregon Economics Blog (2014: May 19)
Certainly, recovery from war and depression, as well as deep structural factors related to demographics and technology, help explain the burst of rapid economic growth following World War II. Nevertheless, it is a mistake to account for the mid-20th Century period of shared growth exclusively in terms of large, impersonal economic forces. Politics and institutions also mattered. Indeed, I would argue that the political and economic arrangements of the postwar era were qualitatively different from those that preceded and followed it and that this distinctive set of policies profoundly influenced the pace and content of economic development and the subsequent distribution of income, consumption, and wealth.
Ringold shares passion for education
Oregon Business (2014: Mar 4)
I am an educator because I am committed to informed political, policy, production, and consumption decision-making. I graduated from a public high school and earned my B.A., M.B.A., and Ph.D. at public universities. For those opportunities, I am grateful. I have taught in a major public research institution, a public city university serving primarily first generation college students and two private universities.
Letter to the Editor: Value of AACSB International Accreditation
Oregon Business (2014: Mar 1)
Like our peer AACSB accredited institutions, Willamette University MBA graduates earn more than a diploma. We form lifelong relationships with our graduates and support them in their pursuit of meaningful careers. It is important that readers understand all of the important attributes associated with an MBA and other graduate programs. AACSB accreditation is certainly one of those attributes.
City Club of Portland research says 'Frankentax' on property needs to be overhauled
The Oregonian (2013: Nov 7)
"But Steve Maser, professor emeritus of public policy and management at Willamette University and the lead writer of the report, said the state's odd system is putting downward pressure on local governments that could choke funding for basic services in the future.
'Political decisions are often driven by crisis,' Maser said. 'It's not there yet. But you can anticipate that it's going to get there and then action would have to be taken.'"
"New tech incubator set for launch in Portland"
Portland Business Journal (2013: Oct 30)
"Founder Institute, which first launched in 2009, has graduated more than 1,000 companies in 60 cities across the world. It matches mentors with idea-stage companies and allows participants to keep their day jobs during the program. According to founder and CEO Adeo Ressi, nearly 50 percent of Founder Institute graduates have gone on to land angel investment to continue building their companies.
Portland's chapter of Founder Institute will be co-directed by Willamette University's Wade Brooks and Andrew Beldin of Revenue Capital Management."
"A quiet trip to the ozone hole"
The New York Times (2013: Oct 21)
Edward J. Warnock, an aerospace engineer and contributing professor at Willamette's Atkinson Graduate School of Management, is the chief executive of the Perlan Project. The nonprofit organization is building a glider, Perlan II, to study the stratosphere at close range.
Robert Wiltbank honored with 2013 Hans Severiens Award
Angel Capital Association (2013: Apr 19)
"Dr. Wiltbank is associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship for the Atkinson Graduate School of Management at Willamette University in Salem, OR, and an active angel investor.
'Rob Wiltbank's contribution is unique in the world of angel investing,' said Marianne Hudson, ACA executive director. 'He is an angel investor, founder of funds, professor and mentor to future entrepreneurs, and he has researched and written two of the most comprehensive and widely consulted reports on investments by angels in groups.'"
Oregon's gender pay gap slightly smaller than national average
Statesman Journal (2013: Apr 11)
"Ashley Nixon, a professor of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior at Willamette University, said there's no question the wage gap does exist — instead, it's a question of what causes it.
'Do we attribute it to discrimination against women or are there other factors to consider?' she said. 'When we do analysis, we find women make 80 percent of what men do, and there are some well-known differences that account for some of this disparity.'"

New Year or New Fear
Got wishes for my dreams to come true…got mails with happy faces that wished for my everlasting happiness….got surprise calls from my friends to wish me Happy New Year. But still the real feeling and joy of the NEW YEAR did not touch my heart. And I wondered why? We do nothing special on this day, so there was nothing much to miss except going to temple, eating with family members and wishing each other. People make plans for the year ahead along with new resolutions which I believe people hardly follow. Everything seems almost new.
No wonder like every country, Nepal has a range of development, a high range actually. People in one part still live in Stone Age; hunting animals and cooking in earthen stove while people in other parts struggle to attain the "First World Lifestyle". May be that's why I am confused whether to celebrate new year over the happiness of discovery of new, cheap and environmentally car or to celebrate new year over the happiness for the first sight of vehicle on the road in a remote part of Nepal.
Lately I don't find the word "new" that friendly. It's not that it has become too old to be used but it rekindles a fear in my heart; a fear that has been entrenched in my heart since our country Nepal was given a new face; a republican country. We got new leaders to make new forms of old promises. Maoist got the full power after years of struggle. We got new culture of politics (uncrowning of the King) and a new form of government.
We had new division in ONE country. We got new problems of flooding due to breakage of a dam at far-west region. We got new reasons of disputes among the once collaborative parties. The parties that were accommodative while drawing new pictures of Nepal became the biggest enemies of each other before framing the picture. We got new faces in new parties. Many parties were formed with many aims of indirectly dividing people and their thoughts. We got a new problem of electricity cut-off. Once the schedule was 20 hours per day. Can you even imagine living without electricity for 20 hours in 24 hours? Isn't it ironic for a country known for world's second largest resource of water to suffer from load shedding? To add, few days ago, as I was reading a post in one of my friends' blog, I found a new problem; effects of climate change. Recently, there was a fire in the national parks on the areas near Tibet. From historical to perilous problems, Nepal has faced a lot in 2008. We already have so many problems to tackle with and again GLOBAL WARMING?
After I thought of all these things, I realized may be the fear in my heart of new problems arising every other second overlapped the joy of celebrating the New Year. It is obvious to be pessimistic when one thinks of all these problems. But then again, I thought may be the tides of 2008 would open people's eyes for the ruins they have caused. As a new hope arose in my heart, may be with every sunrise, a new voice would rise to wake people from their deep sleep. And then again, I love the word NEW.
It's amazing......................
Dear Prabi,
I was also suprised when I read about "fire in the national parks" in Hamsika's blog. I asked her about it in details whe was also surprise and tell that she read from BBC. One thing that amazed me is that its near the Mt. Everest. Lets pray for our people and country for their better future. Hope all your wishes come true.
With Love and Regards

Threats Of Dismissal Breaking SAfrica's Strikes
AngloGold Ashanti, also badly hit by wildcat strike action, Wednesday fired 12,000 workers who did not report for work at its operations outside Johannesburg, according to Alan Fine, a spokesman for the company. The company reported Wednesday that "unprotected strikes" at its Vaal River operations had ended after all the workers there responded to a "recently improved wage offer made through the industry's collective bargaining framework."
Evans Ramokga, a strike leader at the Amplats strike and one of the 12,000 dismissed workers, said Thursday that getting their jobs back was now a priority. The fired workers had expected to be paid Wednesday, Ramokga said, but there was nothing in the bank.
"We understand the consequences," he said, adding that they are now prepared to settle for 12,500 rand (about $1,400) in monthly pay.
Mpumi Sithole, a spokeswoman for Amplats, said that only about 20 percent of the company's employees are back at work. "Anglo American Platinum confirms that while it retains its stated position that it will not reinstate the 12,000 dismissed Rustenburg employees, the company has agreed with its recognized unions that it is willing to discuss their status as part of this engagement," Sithole said in a statement.Lunsche of Gold Fields said that without taking a firm stand employers would have been up against "collective anarchy" of the sort that would have set a bad precedent for labor relations in South Africa's crucial mining sector. At the peak of the wildcat strikes more than 80,000 workers â¿¿ representing 16 percent of the mining workforce â¿¿ stopped work in labor unrest that analysts said undermined the country's reputation in the eyes of investors. The credit rating agencies Moody's and S&P's have downgraded South Africa's credit rating, citing the impact of the strikes on the country's economic outlook. South African President Jacob Zuma said recently that strike action in gold and platinum mines had cost the country about 4.5 billion rand (more than $500 million) in lost output by mid-September.

From America's number one Cuba reporter, PEN award-winning investigative journalist Ann Louise Bardach, comes the big book on Cuba we've all been waiting for. An incisive and spirited portrait of the twentieth century's wiliest political survivor and his fiefdom, Cuba Confidential is the gripping story of the shattered families and warring personalities that lie at the heart of the forty-three-year standoff between Miami and Havana.
Famous to many Americans for her cover stories and media appearances, Ann Louise Bardach has been covering Cuba for a decade. She's talked to the crooks, spooks and politicians who have made history, and to their hired assassins and confidants. Based on exclusive interviews with Fidel Castro, his sister Juanita, his former brother-in-law Rafael Díaz-Balart, the family of Elián González, the friends and family of the legendary American fugitive Robert Vesco, the intrepid terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, and the inner circles of Jeb Bush and the late exile leader Jorge Mas Canosa, Cuba Confidential exposes the hardball take-no-prisoners tactics of the Cuban exile leadership, and its manipulation and exploitation by ten American presidents.
Bardach homes in on Fidel Castro and his cronies, taking us closer than we've ever been—and on the militant exiles who have devoted their lives, with CIA connivance, to trying to eliminate him. From Calle Ocho to Juan Miguel González's kitchen table in Cárdenas, from Guantánamo Bay to Union City to Washington, D.C., Ann Louise Bardach serves up an unforgettable portrait of Cuba and its exiles.
"Ann Louise Bardach is fearless and gutsy, America's answer to Oriana Fallaci. This is a wonderful book—absolutely masterful at presenting both sides of the Cuba debate." —Gay Talese
"Ann Louise Bardach long ago established herself as America's most lucid, courageous and well-informed observer of Cuban realities on both sides of the Florida Straits. Her new book is a tour de force, the definitive work on the ongoing Cuban civil war that, whether it is being played out in Havana, Miami or Washington, continues to ruin the future of Cubans and the politics of the United States." —David Rieff, author of The Exile
"Cuba Confidential is the work of a reporter at the top of her game. Ann Louise Bardach takes a fascinating new look at the case of Elián González and then spins it into a compelling reexamination of the tortured relationship between the United States and Castro's Cuba. With Bardach's fresh take on the young boy and the old man, you'll never look at either one the same way again." —Jeffrey Toobin
"Since 1959, Fidel Castro has played the Antichrist for the United States, and vice versa. In Cuba Confidential, Ann Louise Bardach has brilliantly chronicled and examined why the policy has not worked for Castro or for the United States. She has also prepared us for what we must face when Castro is gone." —Sander Vanocur, veteran NBC and ABC anchor
"If our political establishment knew a tenth as much about Cuba, or cared half as much about it, as does Ann Louise Bardach, both the United States and Cuba would be more open societies." —Christopher Hitchens
"Ann Louise Bardach expertly explores the troubled waters of U.S.-Cuban relations since Fidel Castro came to power. Whatever your views on Cuba, Cuba Confidential offers a valuable treasure of inside information and rich insights on an international controversy that has deep implications for American politics." —Lou Cannon, author of President Reagan
"Profound and provocative . . . Writing from the perspective of an outsider—but with the passion of someone trapped in the fascination of all things Cuban—Bardach offers the best of American investigative journalism along with a multilayered history of baroque complexity. Her dramatization of the political intrigues on both sides of the Cuban divide makes Cuba Confidential as absorbing as a thriller." —Uva de Aragón, assistant director of the Cuban Research Institute, Florida International University

Current language is English, choose a different language:
In the TTL System, in-lens detectors with energy filtering provide both topography (SE) and Z contrast (BSE) images. Short working distance, low currents, and low kV sensitivity ensure high resolution BSE images. Gentle Beam technology reduces charging and improves resolution, signal-to-noise, and beam brightness, especially at low beam voltages (down to 100V). The TTLS operates at low magnification (10X) with no distortion of the image or the EBSD pattern, allowing collection of large area EBSD maps of large grain materials. The flexibility of this SEM is displayed in its ability to run in low vacuum (LV) mode for imaging nonconductive samples at high kV and beam currents for a variety of analytical applications that include analysis with EDS, WDS, EBSD, and CL. An optional STEM detector allows imaging of thin samples with sub 0.8nm resolution.

I have a large master bedroom, and I wanted to put a desk in it because my husband likes to retreat there to work. But I didn't want it to look like we have an office in our bedroom. This sturdy desk was the perfect solution. It's small and has a great transitional style that works in our cottage style home. I use it as a nightstand/small bedroom desk. Slim and small but still offers the functionality of a desk/table when he needs it. The color is a deep chocolate with the wood grain coming through - definitely a nice wood. It's not a flat melamine coated piece. Very stylish and I can tell we will use it in various rooms for many years.. Great price for this piece!
This desk is just what I was looking for. I wanted to downsize to something smaller but that also had plenty of storage in the drawers. It comes almost fully assembled, all I had to do was screw the legs on which only took about 10 minutes. It also has a very rich espresso color that looks great.
I am very happy with the quality of the desk. It is a beautiful desk and a great price. The color is very rich and looks nice.
I love this desk. I am sitting at the desk as I write this review. I love this desk. Fits so perfect in my bedroom. Just the right size for what I need. I can sit here and read, work on my lap top. A nice change from sitting at my home office desk. Just to sit and enjoy not working and in the comfort of my bedroom. The color is perfect with the other furniture. Perfect, perfect, perfect.
I like this desk for its look and its function-- in the past, when I have had larger desks, I've shoved things aside and cluttered the surface. With a space this size, not so. It fits perfectly in my small dorm room, and the top surface strikes a nice balance between letting you feel the grain of the wood and having a smooth, easy writing surface. My only complaints are the drawers, which don't slide on tracks and feel a bit flimsy, and the 40-pound support limit, which I can easily exceed with an iMac and a few books. I'm not too worried about it though-- the desk feels sturdy under much more weight than that. Assembly was quick, simple, and convinced me of how well-constructed the product really is.
This desk is sleek and looks good, but what good is that if the bracket that holds the drawer breaks within a month of assembly and use? The bracket wood is so think it's like a wood "shim" or piece of kindling. I am very disappointed and I will be working with Customer Service to return it, although I do not have the box. Note to self, buy locally where you can return the items once assembled.
easy to assemble. looks great. we replaced the wood knobs with higher end brass knobs and it made the desk look much more expensive. a great desk for the money that can be kicked up a notch with the simply upgrade of knobs form the hardware store.
The desk arrived in great condition, wrapped very nicely. It is very simple to attach the legs to the desk, took about 20 minutes to unpack and get it all assembled. Great desk for the money. Drawers are nice but can't hold much weight. Enough for paper, notebooks, pens, pencils. This was just what we were looking for to replace an old computer type cabinet with this more modern looking desk and it fit perfectly in our alcove area. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for something like this.
It's an "okay desk," but with all the high reviews on Amazon and Overstock, I perhaps had built it up too much. It's a lot smaller/flimsier than expected. It's also not made of real wood (maybe the legs?). Assembly is easy, but it's a simple desk, what is there to assemble? It's made of a somewhat durable wood composite called Medium-density fibreboard (MDF). The color is not completely even, but it's one of the nicer qualities of it. From afar it looks okay (even nice) but on closer examination you can see the quality. As many reviewers have mentioned, the drawers are weak! It might as well have faux drawer covers. I would return this desk and try my luck on craigslist for a much higher-quality desk for similar or lower cost, but OVERSTOCK makes it impossible to return ANYTHING.
This desk is perfect for my laptop computer, a small notebook, pen holder, and coffee mug. Too small to hold too much clutter and big enough for my writing work. Style and finish are really good for the price. The two drawers are just the right size to hideaway a couple of things.
