Celebrities Wearing Couture on the Red Carpet | Pictures
Stars in Couture: The Most Haute Red Carpet Moments
Zoe Saldana wasn't nominated for an Oscar at the 2010 Academy Awards, but she made fashion history with the ombré purple gown she wore on the red carpet that year. Her Givenchy Haute Couture design, a fashion-forward choice that blended unexpected textures like crystals and ruffles, landed the actress on many a best dressed list. The high-style move was nothing new, but rather in the tradition of Nicole Kidman, whose chartreuse Christian Dior gown in 1997 was among the first instances of truly modern couture appearing on the red carpet.
Couturiers have always had a special relationship with celebrities, who need jaw-dropping dresses to wear for particularly glamorous events. But now more than ever, couture numbers (as well as custom-created gowns) have become the gold standard for women who have to look elegant and fashionable in front of the flashbulbs. As Paris Haute Couture Week closes, we're taking a look at our favorite couture red carpet moments in recent memory.

Federal-Aid Highways:
FHWA Needs a Comprehensive Approach to Improving Project Oversight

The federal-aid highway program provides over $25 billion a year to states for highway and bridge projects, often paying 80 percent of these projects' costs. The federal government provides funding for and oversees this program, while states largely choose and manage the projects. Ensuring that states effectively control the cost and schedule performance of these projects is essential to ensuring that federal funds are used efficiently. We reviewed the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) approach to improving its federal-aid highway project oversight efforts since we last reported on it in 2002, including (1) FHWA's oversight-related goals and performance measures, (2) FHWA's oversight improvement activities, (3) challenges FHWA faces in improving project oversight, and (4) best practices for project oversight.
FHWA has made progress in improving its oversight efforts since 2002, but it lacks a comprehensive approach, including goals and measures that guide its activities; workforce plans that support these goals and measures; and data collection and analysis efforts that help identify problems and transfer lessons learned. FHWA's 2004 performance plan established, for the first time, performance goals and outcome measures to limit cost growth and schedule slippage on projects, but these goals and measures have not been effectively implemented because FHWA has not linked its day-to-day activities or the expectations set for its staff to them, nor is FHWA fully using them to identify problems and target its oversight. FHWA undertook activities in response to concerns raised about the adequacy of its oversight efforts that have both promising elements and limitations. For example, while FHWA now assigns a project oversight manager to each major project (generally projects costing $1 billion or more) and identified skills these managers should possess, it has not yet defined the role of these managers or established agencywide performance expectations for them. While FHWA issued guidance to improve cost estimating and began collecting information on cost increases, it still does not have the capability to track and measure cost growth on projects. Finally, although FHWA received direction to develop a more multidisciplinary workforce to conduct oversight, it has not fully incorporated this direction into its recruiting and training efforts. FHWA faces challenges to improving its oversight that are in large part rooted in the structure of the federal-aid highway program and in FHWA's organization and culture. As such, they may be difficult to surmount. For example, because the program does not link funding to states with the accomplishment of performance goals and outcome measures, it may be difficult for FHWA to define the role and purpose of its oversight. Also, FHWA's decentralized organization makes it difficult to achieve a consistent organizational vision. Human capital challenges affecting much of the federal government have affected FHWA, particularly in its need to transform its workforce to meet its evolving oversight mission. FHWA faces an increased oversight workload in the years ahead as the number of major projects grows and if provisions Congress is considering to increase FHWA's responsibilities become law. Questions exist about FHWA's ability to effectively absorb these new responsibilities, overcome underlying challenges, and improve its oversight. We identified selected best practices that could help FHWA develop a framework for a comprehensive approach to project oversight. These include establishing measurable goals to objectively and quantifiably assess progress, making oversight managers accountable for the effective implementation of these goals, providing professional training, and collecting and transferring lessons learned.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 2005, FHWA centrally defined the role, responsibilities, performance objectives, and required skills of major project oversight managers in an agency policy document that it distributed to its division offices.
Recommendation: In order to establish a comprehensive approach to project oversight, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator, FHWA, to improve the use and performance of project oversight managers by centrally defining their role and responsibilities.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FHWA's fiscal year 2009 strategic implementation plan contains an overall plan for its oversight initiatives that includes goals and performance measures, along with strategies and time frames for achieving the goals. In addition, FHWA's longer-term strategic plan includes four goals associated with workforce issues, one of which specifically addresses workforce planning issues. Also, the fiscal year 2009 plan has a workforce goal that the plan calls for meeting by managing the agency's resources strategically to increase flexibility in achieving critical goals.
Recommendation: In order to establish a comprehensive approach to project oversight, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator, FHWA, to develop an overall plan for its oversight initiatives that is tied to its goals and measures, along with priorities and time frames, and that includes workforce planning efforts that support these goals and measures.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: For fiscal year 2009, FHWA linked its day-to-day oversight activities and the performance expectations set for its staff to its oversight goals and outcome measures. We reviewed five FHWA division offices and found that each office's fiscal year 2009 performance plan generally includes activities that support and further the oversight goals and measures articulated in FHWA's 2009 strategic implementation plan. In addition, the plans specify which staff members are expected to carry out each action.
Recommendation: In order to establish a comprehensive approach to project oversight, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator, FHWA, to link FHWA's day-to-day activities and the performance expectations set for its staff to its goals and outcome measures.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In its October 2005 "60 Day" letter, DOT stated that it does not intend to implement this recommendation.
Recommendation: In order to establish a comprehensive approach to project oversight, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator, FHWA, to develop the capability to track and measure costs over the life of projects to help identify the extent of and reasons for problems, target resources, and transfer lessons learned.

Congress has an opportunity to meet its role as the most politically responsive branch of government by restoring some measure of trust to national security after the revelations about secret surveillance programs.
That trust, currently lost, stems from the perception that the people's elected representatives are fully informed about these programs and will carry out their constitutional responsibilities to authorize by public legislation any expansions or contractions of the authorities as dictated by constitutional limits, perceived efficacy or other factors deliberately considered.
In addition to its legislative power, Congress has various tools to influence President Obama's policies in carrying out the laws, including the power of the purse, the Senate's power to advise on and consent to certain senior-level appointments, and the power to remove officials who commit treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors. Critical to Congress' ability to exercise any of these powers is the receipt of truthful information from government officials and other witnesses that allows Congress to determine whether laws are working as intended, need to be changed to be more effective or to accomplish additional goals, or should be repealed. This is why calls by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. to prosecute Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper for lying to Congress and by Sen. Rand Paul for Mr. Clapper to resign for the same reason are based on principle, not politics.
Nowhere is Congress' oversight more important than in national security and intelligence matters, where so much of the government's activity occurs, by necessity, in secret, and where the laws are written broadly. Only through timely classified reports, briefings and hearings can our elected representatives receive the information they need to carry out their constitutional responsibilities. Only if they receive truthful information in those forums can they take meaningful action or, as importantly, refrain from taking action.
More than 10 years ago, when I was the chief oversight lawyer for the House Judiciary Committee, a major concern about the USA Patriot Act's Section 215 authority — one of the sections at issue in the National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program — was the government's access to library records. I took dozens of calls from groups and individuals concerned that access to library records was too intrusive. It took months to declassify the number of times the authority had been used. Agitation over the provision was significantly dampened when it turned out it had not been used at all. Or, so I was told.
Americans now rightly distrust the government to operate these programs to protect both their privacy and their security. Mr. Clapper has admitted that he told the "least untruthful" tale to a Senate committee when he testified that the NSA was not collecting data on millions of Americans. According to the NSA's internal investigations, the agency either violated federal privacy laws or exceeded its authority thousands of times last year.
Similarly, Judge Richard J. Leon's opinion on the constitutionality of these programs notes that in 2009, Judge Reggie B. Walton found that the "Justice Department repeatedly made misrepresentations and inaccurate statements to the judges of the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court]," and that in 2011, presiding Judge John Bates similarly found that the Justice Department had "misrepresented the scope of its targeting of certain Internet communications." None of these facts render the underlying programs unlawful, but they jeopardize their continuation if left unanswered.
The need to present false information to obtain an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court suggests that the Justice Department thought that information that was at least relevant to an investigation could not be gathered under existing authority using truthful statements. Did the Justice Department seek such authority from Congress? Did Congress inquire about these matters? Did Congress even know about them? If Congress did know about them and inquired, the results of that inquiry should be disclosed, now that these matters are public. If Congress did not know about them, it should start that inquiry now and report the results to the public.
Each house of Congress should establish a joint task force of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees to review programs requiring judicial oversight. Then perhaps Congress will go beyond the sanctions imposed by Judge Walton (which could have been worse) and find out why representations to the court were false and what the Justice Department wanted to accomplish but could not, lawfully. If credible evidence is uncovered to merit it, referrals for criminal prosecution or disbarment might also follow.
Whether a court might rule at some later time that the NSA's programs are constitutional or even consistent with congressional intent, Congress must work (and, importantly, appear to work) with the intelligence community to make sure it understands how the programs function and to hold the executive branch accountable. Until Congress and the public can be sure that people who abuse these programs lose their jobs and, where appropriate, face prosecution, the healthy distrust of the American people will outweigh the legitimate benefits of the programs, and any procedural reforms made by the president alone will be insufficient to instill public trust.
J. Keith Ausbrook served as chief oversight counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, chief counsel for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and executive secretary of the Homeland Security Council under President George W. Bush.

If they go the M&L route, they need to get rid of items and make it more like the original as far as Bro Attacks go. Items were interesting... But they kind of got old after a while. I'd like to see a new PM like Sticker Star though. Maybe throw in partners that can use their own stickers and add some story into it.

Assessment of national regulatory authorities for medicines
The process of evaluation and assessment of NRAs is based on verification of the indicators included in the data collection tool. This instrument is based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization for strengthening the regulatory bodies.
The assessment of NRAs is based on fulfillment of critical indicators (46% of the indicators in the data collection tool). Four levels of development have been established. Level 4 is the level that enables PAHO to designate the regulatory body as a reference authority for medicines and biologicals.
Designation of the regional reference NRA is the responsibility of the regulatory authorities that reach level 4 of the assessment table.
Level 4: National regulatory authority that is competent and efficient in performance of the health regulation functions recommended by PAHO/WHO to guarantee the efficacy, safety, and quality of medicines. REGIONAL REFERENCE AUTHORITY.
Objectives and scope of a regional reference NRA
a) Participate in the quality assurance, safety, and efficacy processes for the products purchased by the Pan American Health Organization on behalf of the countries.
b) Collaborate as referents in the implementation and follow-up of recommendations approved by the PARF network.
c) Support the Pan American Health Organization in the strengthening activities for other national regulatory authorities in the Region, so that they can be designated as regional reference regulatory authorities.
d) Exchange public information through its Web sites and in the framework of the current national legislation on the products approved by the regional reference regulatory authorities. This will enable authorities with more limited capacities to have elements available for decision-making about their own products, considering that the products registered and sold in the countries with regional reference regulatory authorities will fulfill the quality standards recommended by WHO.
e) Establish mechanisms in agreement with the Pan American Health Organization that can favor the mutual recognition processes for the functions of the pharmaceutical regulatory bodies.
Standarized evaluation procedure
Convocation of experts in NRA
The experts will be resources of the system for evaluation of national reference regulatory authorities and the system for prequalification of medicines. It is developed to:
- Establish a transparent mechanism for selection of experts that participate in evaluation of the NRAs in accordance with the criteria established and shared by the countries of the region and approved by PAHO.
- Form evaluation teams of the highest professional level to ensure standard development of the evaluations, yielding reliable and validated results.
Procedure for selection of experts
- Presentation and reception of background information on the applicants. The reception date will be prior to the final day of February each year.
- Review and evaluation of the background information. The background information and documents for the applicants will be evaluated in March each year.
- Final report: Within the first 7 days of April a report will be sent to WHO, the regional offices, and the national regulatory authorities of the Region of the Americas making known the list of PAHO advisory experts in the area of regulation of medicines. An updated list will also be maintained on the PAHO Web site.
- List of national reference regulatory authority experts
- Selection process for PAHO experts for evaluation of the national regulatory authorities
- Application card for expert on national regulatory authority for medicines
Results of the assessment
Level 4 National regulatory authority that is competent and efficient in performance of the health regulation functions recommended by PAHO/WHO in order to guarantee the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines. Regional reference authority.
Level 3 National regulatory authority that is competent and efficient, which shall improve performance of certain health regulation functions recommended by PAHO/WHO in order to guarantee the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines.
Level 2 Structures or organizations with the mandate of the national regulatory authority that fulfill certain health regulation functions recommended by PAHO/WHO in order to guarantee the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines.
Level 1 Offices of health institutions that fulfill certain health regulation functions for medicines.

What could you possibly mean?
A carry on bag is for thing that you will need in the airports and the plane. I take things like a netbook, ipod, book, eyeglasses, money, jewelry, passport and all the other accoutrements a woman needs. They are too numerous to type out.
And you're thinking about this a year ahead? -

Clothing and necesseties for 2 days in case your luggage gets lost (failure to do this made me miss a trip to Cinque Terre in Italy); toiletries and medications that yu can't get in Europe (most likely you cannot get a non-EU prescription filled); reading materials or electronic tablet for wather forecasts and other uselful apps; a waterproof windbreaker or at least an umnbrella; patience at the airports.

You seriously can't figure out what to pack in your carry-on bag? As apart from your checked bag? Have you never traveled before? Your carry-on bag contains the stuff you need immediately, plus a change of clothes in case your luggage gets lost. It should be pretty obvious.

40 ltr is pretty open size wise, make sure that your bag conforms to the Smallest allowed size given by potential carriers, Regional Airlines have maximum permitted sizes for carry on baggage and everything including purses, cameras and duty free shop bits must fit into that one piece of baggage which must also be under a specific weight allowance.
Report Abuse
Basically your carry-on must meet dimension and weight requirements, and should contain anything of value you are taking with you on your trip, plus anything you feel you may need during the flight.
As Tony2Phones says you need to check your 40 litre bag actually meets the size requirements of any and all airlines you are likely to use. With increase use of carry-on only airlines are getting stricter as to the size and weight of what you can carry on board. Some will allow a "personal item" as well, some won't. Again you need to check that with the airlines you intend to use.
If I am going on a trip with photography in mind then my photo back pack loaded with photo gear is my carry-on. My netbook, e-reader, passport etc fit in it too, just.
If I am just going on a relaxing, do as little as possible trip then my carry-on consists of my camera with two lenses, netbook (if away more than a week), e-reader, glasses, any jewellery I may be taking with me, passport and money.
I never pack spare clothes in my carry-on. I want it to be as light as possible, and if the whole camera pack goes there's no room for clothes anyway.
Lithium batteries must be in your hand luggage, and must be individually packed so they cannot short. -
Report Abuse
Personally, my carry on is my bag entirely. So I would include everything I would need for the trip. With a bit of creative packing (ie socks inside of shoes, flats inside of tall boots) you can do it easily for a week. My biggest items are my running shoes and mini iron (since many places don't have an in-room irons - but they do have hairdryers, so you don't need to pack that)

Frisco Principal Resigns Amid Theft Charges
FRISCO (CBSDFW.COM) - A Frisco elementary school principal resigned this week after Frisco Police charged him with theft on school campus.
David Wehmeyer served as principal of Weldon Corbell Elementary School since it opened in 2006.
Last week, Corbell's school nurse became suspicious after she noticed one child's medicine was running low and contacted their mother, according to the police report. The report also says school surveillance video shows the principal came in on a Saturday and went into the nurse's office. Police say Wehmeyer admitted to taking the medicine and two $20 bills out of the school secretary's office.
Parents say they are surprised by the news.
"Every morning, he was always there, in front of the door and he was so helpful with everyone, so that's why I'm really in shock. I had no idea that was the motive for him to resign, it's really heartbreaking," said parent Dary Douglas.
Another parent, Giulio Ferarri said, "It's of course sad, but you know, we're not exempt from having things like that happen just because we live in Frisco. We have to be mature enough to understand that things can happen anywhere you go."
Wehmeyer resigned from Frisco ISD for personal reasons. Before taking a position in Frisco, Wehmeyer worked as an Irving ISD principal for 12 years and authored a children's book.
Frisco ISD sent a statement to parents, which says in part, "We take these matters very seriously and are saddened by these events. We do believe that Mr. Wehmeyer's resignation was in the best interest of all involved and our focus is now on supporting the school in their efforts to meet the needs of students and to have a successful school year."

LATE on November 5th Oleg Kashin, a journalist with Kommersant, a Russian daily, was almost bludgeoned to death in the courtyard of his house in central Moscow. The assault was both shocking and demonstrative in its brutality. As Mr Kashin's peers related it, the attackers smashed his fingers so the journalist could not write, broke his jaw so he could not talk and broke a leg so he could not walk. Doctors had to put Mr Kashin into an induced coma to avoid a pain shock.
Mr Kashin wrote about big issues in Russian society. A sharp publicist, he switched sides, made enemies and faced threats. Kremlin-sponsored youth thugs had called him a traitor and pledged to punish him. His writing also upset local officials in Khimki, a suburb of Moscow where a battle has unfolded over plans to build a road through a forest. (The Russian firm carrying out the construction has powerful political connections.) The Khimki battle has already claimed several victims. Only a day before the attack on Mr Kashin a local activist was beaten up.
Two years ago Mikhail Beketov, a journalist from Khimki who wrote about local corruption and accused the mayor of "political terror", was beaten up so severely that he had to have his leg and several fingers amputated. He is still in a wheelchair and cannot talk. This week he was brought into a courtroom with his doctors, where the mayor, flanked by bodyguards, sued him for libel. The court found against Mr Beketov and symbolically fined him.
Both Mr Beketov and Mr Kashin are lucky to be alive. At least 22 journalists have been murdered in Russia in the past ten years, according to Reporters Without Borders, a human-rights group. Many more have been injured. In the index of press freedom, Russia ranks below Turkey and Iraq and only just above Afghanistan. Yet the assault on Mr Kashin has caused more stir than many others, even though (unlike Anna Politkovskaya, murdered in 2006) he did not write about Chechnya or conduct sensitive investigations.
Within an hour of the attack Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, tweeted that "the criminals must be found and punished". Several days after the assault state television channels were still leading their news with it and playing security camera videos of the attack mysteriously leaked by the police. Mr Medvedev met journalists to pledge tough measures, riding the wave of public anger. A less charitable explanation was that the Kremlin had seized on Mr Kashin's attack to divert public attention from other stories, including the recent closing speech by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a jailed tycoon on trial, about the lawlessness of the Russian state.
Yet although the Kremlin can have a magic sway over television news, its powers to investigate attacks on journalists and bring criminals to justice are less impressive. Almost none of the high-profile murders of Russian journalists have been solved, despite Kremlin promises. Few journalists in Russia believe Mr Kashin's case will be any different. The reasons are to be found in a political system that encourages violence and intolerance.
As the Russian edition of Forbes said in a statement: "Whoever stands behind this crime, responsibility for it rests with the leaders of the state. It is with their consent or encouragement that the atmosphere of moral terror against dissidents has been created, censorship restored, civil control over the security service and the police removed and honest competition made impossible." Unsurprisingly, Russian state television did not report this.

Jim Thiel must be a magician. At least that's what I thought when I first heard his newest speaker, the SCS4. I was listening to an a cappella band, and the guys were all there—not just the voices, but I felt like the Persuasions were in the room with me. The sound was so utterly natural; it was as if the speakers weren't doing anything.
At its best, home theater is all about making movies feel so real you'd swear you're there. And not just the wham-bam flicks; some of my best experiences have come from straight-ahead dramas. That was absolutely the case with Breach, a chilling portrait of FBI agent Robert Hanssen, the man who sold countless security secrets to the Soviet Union for over 20 years. Actor Chris Cooper's portrayal of the psychopathic traitor totally mesmerized me, but I also credit Paradigm's fifth revision of their Monitor Series speakers for keeping my attention glued to the screen. Every detail of the sound—from the claustrophobic acoustics of Hanssen's office and the whirring noise of his computers' cooling fans, to the dense traffic snarl of Washington, D.C. streets—were all so effortlessly presented that I never thought about the speakers. That's the Zen of it all. When everything's just right, you don't realize the speakers are there.
Cinepro's demo at the 2007 Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) show in Denver made a powerful impression on my eardrums. I'm no power-hungry audiophile—far from it—but I immediately understood what Cinepro is all about.
Billed as Ron Carter: The Master @ 70, it was a birthday celebration of the legendary jazz bass player's career—and the music at that early summer jazz concert at Carnegie Hall was truly magical. The highlight of the night arrived when Carter played selections from Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album with Herbie Hancock on piano, Wayne Shorter on sax, and Billy Cobham on drums. I could hear the quartet's music reflecting off the stage's rear wall while it simultaneously floated above the audience in the hall. The sound was so masterfully mixed, I couldn't tell for sure how much of what I heard was the actual instruments or Carnegie Hall's discreetly amplified sound system. It stands as one of those "is it live or...." moments. The next day, I played a stack of Ron Carter CDs over Anthony Gallo Acoustics' new Reference AV speakers and TR-2 subwoofer. The sound was so sweet, I experienced that déjà vu feeling all over again.

Whole lamb!
By: voula konidaris (Apr 8, 2010)
I have no words to describe how delicious was the 41 lb rotisserie lamb! We had it for Easter and all our 25 guests never had a lamb so delicious as the one from Sandstone Ridge Farm. We'll definitely order again, but a smaller one next time because it took 8 hours to be done. It was a pleasure dealing with James and Lisa. Very nice people and responsive when you have any questions. Thanks again for our special lamb Easter!

The Immortals Project - Affirmative Action
Artist: The Immortals Project
Featuring: El Da Sensei
Producer: Duplicuts
Album: Rogue Agents
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 11 votes )
Upon reading the title Affirmative Action, I immediately though of The Firm's classic drug-dealing single. Booth newcomers The Immortals Project, which has a "rotating membership" that currently consists of beatsmith Duplicuts and veteran emcee El Da Sensei, have made me forget all about The Firm with their equally uneasy tune. The cut's gritty, hard-nosed approach is established by Diplicuts edgy, clacking production and is matched by EL Da Sensei's punch-you-in-the-mouth flow. The track itself, which is not over-produced, gives the veteran emcee's brash, assertive bars an extra kick. There is no word on more work from The Immortals Project, but with an interesting concept on display, expect to hear more very soon.

Board of Trustee Meeting Minutes - |
Board of Trustees Minutes of September 13, 2012, Meeting Members Present: John Hammond, Howard Brown, Jay Cuccia, Richard K. Drain, Jay Middleton, M. Kathleen Sulick, Jim Thomas, LeRoy Wilkison Members Excused: Andrea Fulton, Jonathan Hodgson, Kurt Svendsen Members Absent: Jennifer Gilbert-Duran Staff Present: John Peterson, Janet Morgan Guests: Ed Antoian, Caldwell Calame, Rhett Humphreys, John G. Norman Recorder: Laura C. Jackson, Audio Associates The meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Anne Arundel County Retirement and Pension System (Board) was called to order at 12:13 p.m. by John Hammond. Minutes Mr. Cuccia made a motion to approve the minutes of the August 9, 2012, board meeting. Mr. Drain seconded the motion, and the board approved the minutes. Investment Committee Chartwell Investment Partners Ed Antoian Mr. Antoian began his presentation with words of appreciation, noting that the county pension system stuck with Chartwell during a difficult time in its 14-year relationship with the firm. Chartwell manages $5 billion in a variety of equity and fixed income investments. Mr. Antoian reported low turnover among the firm's employees. The county's small cap portfolio has seen accelerated performance, with year-to-date returns of 11.30 percent versus the benchmark's 10.76 percent. Labeling 2012 a stock-picker year, Mr. Antoian said Chartwell has taken advantage of some dynamic market activity. Auto sales have enjoyed attractive rates, and housing prices seem to be coming back. Indeed, the portfolio includes two home builders. Cyclical stocks, however, didn't work this year. Further, Chartwell experienced more misses than usual during the most recent quarter, but good portfolio management saved the firm's performance. Fortunately, the misses occurred in stocks that have small positions, said Mr. Antoian. The winners have been in stocks with big weightings. Top 10 holdings include Heartland Payment Systems, Kenexa, and HFF Inc., a commercial real estate and capital markets servicer. The firm also sees great promise in Netgear, which makes routers for Wi-Fi. Mr. Antoian said the ubiquitous Wi-Fi will be the next standard for communication. Wedge Capital Management Caldwell Calame, John G. Norman Wedge began managing investments for the county in July. Founded in 1984, the Charlotte-based firm manages $9.3 billion in assets. Mr. Norman reported a partner will retire in September. For its small cap portfolio, Wedge targets companies with a market cap between $250 million and $2.5 billion. The firm focuses on stock-by-stock research using an investment process that includes analysis, portfolio construction and sell disciplines. The small-cap portfolio includes 128 well-diversified names, and Wedge tends to hold its stocks for three to five years. On occasion a company's valuation will increase, and Wedge will move that name out of the small cap portfolio. Such a change has occurred perhaps once during the past two years, said Mr. Norman. Reviewing the portfolio's characteristics, Mr. Calame said Wedge prefers the larger companies within the small cap universe. These dominant players tend to have strong balance sheets and offer greater opportunities. The firm has exposure to cyclical names -- companies that will do better as the economy improves -- but not necessarily consumer cyclicals. The firm is underweight to banks and REITS as well as utilities. Capital goods, which include Chicago Bridge and Iron, General Cable and other companies involved in global infrastructure, make up the firm's single overweighted sector. Other top holdings include U.S. Airways and Carlisle Companies. The portfolio has grown by about $2 million during the past two months. Wedge seems off to a good start, said Mr. Calame. New England Pension Consultants Rhett Humphreys Mr. Humpheys provided a few takeaway points for the August 31, 2012, "flash" report. The pension system's total equity composite was 11.4 percent versus the index's 10.8 percent. Active management made the difference in performance, said Mr. Humphreys. Just about all the managers were up except for a few large cap portfolios. Westwood, for example, reported 10.4 percent against a benchmark of 12.2 percent year to date. The international equity managers were also slightly behind their benchmarks. NEPC will reconcile numbers for Wedge, a new manager, within a few days. Dimensional, another new manager, came out of the gate with a strong performance of 1.4 percent for the month. The benchmark was -0.3. Fixed income also had a strong showing year to date. Western reported 6.7 percent; the benchmark was 3.9 percent. ING had a performance of 4.5 percent against a benchmark of 3.9 percent. Penn, a high-yield, defensive fixed income manager, matched its benchmark year to date at 9.7 percent, but its since-inception numbers lagged behind a bit, 7 percent versus the benchmark's 7.5 percent. In emerging marking debt, PIMCO came in well behind its benchmark with a performance of 7.2 percent year to date. The benchmark was 13 percent. Administrative Report After a busy summer, retirements are slowing down, said Mr. Peterson. About 10 retirement seminars will take place in October. Recent legislation brings the contribution level for all members of the police plan and all members of the fire plan to the same rate. The staff sent out an initial draft of the experience study, and a new issue of Pension Points is ready to go out. The meeting ended at 1:19 p.m. The next meeting will take place October 11. |

Former Oxford United coach Ray Graydon led the tributes to the club's first professional player, Jack Casley, who has died aged 88.
It is his work as United's chief scout for which Casley will be best remembered.
Casley, who lived in Wytham Street, Oxford, joined Headington United, as Oxford United were then known, from his home town club Torquay United in July 1949, becoming their first full-time professional.
Casley made his debut in goal against Colchester United, before switching to centre forward, scoring a hat-trick in a 4-2 win against Guildford.
After being given a free transfer in 1951, he retained strong links with the club, while also serving on Oxford City's committee.
He later worked at the Cowley car plant and also played for Banbury Spencer, Chippenham and Pressed Steel.
Following his resignation from City's committee in 1969, he was appointed chief scout at the Manor Ground and was instrumental in bringing local youngsters like Kevin Brock and Andy Thomas to United.
Casley also travelled thousands of miles with Graydon, identifying talents such as John Aldridge, Ray Houghton and Trevor Hebberd.
He retired in 2002 after 53 years' service to the club, for which he was presented with a special award by the then chairman Firoz Kassam.
Graydon, 66, who made 47 appearances for the U's before joining the coaching staff in 1981, said: "He has a fantastic family and I feel very sad he has passed away.
"Jack was not only good company, he was also a good sounding board.
"He had yellow and blue running through his veins."
Former U's winger and now business development manager Peter Rhoades-Brown added: "Jack was a big part of the club for over 50 years.
"He had such a knowledge of the game and liked nothing better than to talk football with us.
"Most weekends, he was out there watching junior games in the morning and then off to another game in the afternoon.
"He never tired of it or lost his enthusiasm.
"He has fought bravely against illness in the last couple of years and will be missed by us all."

I'd like to point out it was my Son's birthday yesterday as well. We
also sang Happy Birthday to him and we even baked him a cake. It was chocolate
with whip cream and Oreo icing!
I'm being sarcastic if you have
not noticed. I understand this is a Church owned paper but really? Give me a
break. You wasted paper and ink on this? You could not conjure up something
more note worthy.
I'm sure looking forward to some more
stunning journalism the next time President Monson brushes his teeth.
Nice job D-News.

Yeah, because paper and ink aren't wasted on hundreds of other articles everyday. This is just a little positive story, which is something this world needs, and if it's something as small as this, so be it! Besides, it was four paragraphs! Please relax.

There were stories all over Connecticut about the historical connections to
President Woodruff. In fact, an especially strong piece was written by Jessie
Sawyer (the Patch editor cited above in this Deseret News article). You can
search for (or "google") that one in the Avon Patch: "Farmington
Plays Historical Role in Mormon History." Jessie Sawyer did amazing
coverage, and many papers in Connecticut have picked up her stories. The
Hartford Courant also mentioned the historical connection to Wilford Woodruff.
This was a glorious groundbreaking service for the Hartford Temple!
At the end, when the crowd broke spontaneously into "Happy Birthday,"
they caught President Monson completely by surprise. It was wonderful to see
his happy reaction.

Did you know?
In Kosi Bay, local people have used fish traps sustainably for over 700 years.
When elephants were released into iSimangaliso Wetland Park in 2002, walking its earth for the first time in over 100 years, former President Nelson Mandela said:
'This must be the only place on the globe where the world's oldest land mammal (the rhinoceros) and the world's biggest land mammal (the elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (the coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (the whale).'
The iSimangaliso Wetland Park is a keystone of the planned Lubombo Transfrontier Park . This is Africa's very first marine and coastal transfrontier conservation area.
It has hundreds of kilometres of coastline and beaches, all the charismatic megafauna you might wish to see, three major lake systems – including Kosi Bay, Lake St Lucia and Lake Sibayi – and dozens of game reserves within the broader Maputaland region, a globally recognised centre of endemism.
There are also five Ramsar wetlands of global importance, and the exquisite beaches are sanctuaries for giant turtles.
This new transfrontier conservation area, involving South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique, is arguably the most complex of the six transfrontier parks involving South Africa.
One of the most notable projects, involving KwaZulu-Natal's transfrontier area, is extending Mozambique's Maputo Special Reserve southwards to the Tembe Elephant Park. This corridor will reconnect two elephant populations fragmented by the civil war in Mozamibique and cut off by a fence in 1989.
The Lubombo transfrontier conservation area may be rich in natural assets, but for decades the people living around here suffered terrible poverty. Conservation efforts are changing all that, creating jobs, training and unprecedented opportunities. New bridges link communities, and roads provide all-weather access to clinics and schools. And this infrastructure itself was created by hiring the poorest of the poor.

Unlike feature-packed smartwatches like the Android Wear-powered LG G watch or Samsung's Gear 2, Huawei's TalkBand B1 fitness tracker/headset hybrid keeps things simple.
While you can't use it to find your way to the nearest cocktail bar or take spy shots of cats, you can use it to track your steps and exercise stats, including how many calories you've burned.
It's also got basic notification support, letting you know when you've got messages and emails, and you can also filter incoming calls.
When you receive a call, you don't have to slip your over-sized smartphone out of your pocket either. Nor will you be forced to chat into your wrist Dick Tracy-style.
Instead, the Talkband's curved 1.4in OLED screen detaches from the wristband, revealing its true bluetooth headset form. Slip it into your ear, and bam - you're nattering away, hands-free, like a business guy from the early 2000s.
The wristband also doubles up as a USB charging cable, so once the six-day battery life conks out, you can top it up without too much hassle.
If you fancy tracking steps and chatting away into a headset then you can pick up the Talkband B1 in August during Comex 2014.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Members of SADD at Punxsutawney Area High School were among students across Pennsylvania sticking it to underage drinking this week.
Tuesday, SADD members posted 250 stickers on cases of beer at Sandy's Beverages with a clear message: "Don't be a party to underage drinking. It's against the law."
The event, Project Sticker Shock, runs this week throughout Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania DUI Association, alcohol has been identified as the No. 1 drug of choice among youth — and according to youth, one of the easiest to get.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — That shortcut on a rural road to save time could cost you more than minutes if you don't keep an eye out for horses, buggies and slow-moving farm equipment.
In an effort to reduce farm-related vehicle crashes and to bring awareness to farm safety, PennDOT, the state Department of Agriculture and the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau joined together to promote Rural Road Safety Week at Fezell's County Market Tuesday.
Shawn Houck, PennDOT press safety officer, said slow-moving vehicles fall under one category, which means they are generally traveling under the speed limit.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The budget for Riverview Intermediate Unit No. 6 (RIU6) will be short about $177,000, according to the Punxsutawney Area School Board's representative to the consortium, on account of Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget.
"Right now, with the budget that's been proposed, they are not getting any money," Punxsy school board member Penny Pifer told the board last week. "They will be short, about $177,000."

The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson opens in Paris this month, just a stone's throw from the Montparnasse cafés where the photographer and future co-founder of Magnum Photos came of age among Surrealists, Cubists, and the rest of the interwar avant-garde. Far from being a one-man museum (much less a mausoleum), the foundation will not only preserve Cartier-Bresson's own works and papers but also exhibit a range of photographers and other artists. The inaugural show, "Henri Cartier-Bresson's Choices" (May 2 through July), comprises nearly 90 works from documentary photographers past and present—all selected by the man himself, who turns 95 in August. 2 Impasse Lebouis; www.henricartierbresson.org.

4) Dump iTunes. Seriously, talk about specification creep. When a music player now manages movies, television, that's one thing. But when it's your application manager and synchronization tool as well. Apple really needs to launch a new tool, call iLife or what not. Where iTunes would just be one category. I mean, I really hate having to go under music to find my TV shows and apps and such. LAME!!!
Not to be disrespectful, but are you frikkin' nuts?
Apple's success outside of the computer market over the past few years has been due to their ability to:
iTunes is the key to Apple's strategy. They're not going to dump it, they're going to use it to continue to make boatloads of cold, hard cash. If you want to rename the application to "Apple Online Store", I'm sure they wouldn't mind you doing so on your own computer. But in my mind it's fair to say that iTunes is currently Apple's most important asset.

... To perform a right click with the Mighty Mouse you have to lift up with your left finger and click with the right.
This, in a word, sucks.
Have you used one for more than a minute or two? You'd be surprised how quickly you adapt to it; it's just another muscle-memory thing. When I'm using a more traditional two-button mouse, I find it quaint that it has actual physical buttons, and that the scroll button/wheel is only two directional.
Hopefully the MacBook trackpads are better. Sounds like they are.
I'll bet the physical feel is pretty damn good. I'm still amazed at how well multi-touch works on an iPhone screen, and I'm guessing the glass mouse will be very similar.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Executive Director Steve Lowe announced that the Joy House raised enough money during December to complete a boys home that has been in the works for more than three years at the Christian teen ministry's Cove Road campus.
Lowe said one of their regular contributors had pledged to match up to $20,000 in gifts for the home and the December giving surpassed that.
"We raised the $20,000 to get the full matching funds, plus we exceeded that quite a bit," Lowe said. "We'll be moving into the home debt free."
Lowe said they should be able to complete the home by March and begin using it to house eight boys and also as the school for the campus, in April.

Top 5 legislative issues of 2012
State Rep. Rick Jasperse entering his second full legislative session under the Gold Dome believes there are several factors which may make this a very "contentious" session.
Rick Jasperse, who will be entering his second legislative session representing Pickens County and surrounding areas, said the state legislative session this January will likely be contentious.
"With the election year, presidential and others in the state, you will see folks really trying to make political statements," Jasperse said in a late December interview. "With the redistricting completed there will be several forces that should make this a very interesting session."
Jasperse previewed in late December what he believes will be the five most newsworthy efforts under the Gold Dome when the legislature goes into session this January.
1. Budget – "This is number one by far. It's why we go there." Jasperse said in Georgia, the governor proposes a budget and "both the house and senate fiddle with it." At this point the governor's proposed budget cuts all state agencies two percent except public safety and education.

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. (Jan. 4, 2012) - The new Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass has been in effect a few days, and will help with much-needed maintenance on state wildlife areas.
Thirty-two sites managed by the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division now require the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass (GORP) for visitors ages 16-64. Exempt from the requirement are individuals who have a valid WMA
License, Honorary License, Sportsmen's License, Lifetime License or Three-Day Hunting and Fishing License.
In all, Wildlife Resources Division manages more than 100 properties across the state. However, GORP impacts only about one-third of the areas - the spots with the highest traffic by all users.

Above, Wes and Melanie Farron with their son, Asher. The 22-year-old Farron was injured while on active duty in Afghanistan in October. He spent over two months in a Texas hospital.
After surviving massive injuries during a firefight in Afghanistan in October, then spending two months in a Texas hospital recovering from the wounds, 22-year-old Wes Farron and his wife surprised family members by coming home for Christmas.
Throughout his ordeal, Farron said the support of his wife and family, along with the support of this community, helped pull him through.
"The sheer support I had from the town and the church – I had tons of people praying for me. Since I've been back, some people have said 'hey' to me and 'thank you,' and that means more to me than anything," said Farron. "I don't expect a thank you. Being a soldier is something I love doing. My family and Melanie's family, I can't thank them enough. That's my main focus, family and the people who've supported us the whole way."

Producer: Tittsworth
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 votes )
Not featured on our front page since dropping off WTF way back in '08, D.C. DJ, producer and label exec Tittsworth reintroduces his dancefloor-ready style to The DJBooth by way of freshly-minted promo single After the Dance. Here, the T&A Records co-founder showcases his networking skills as well as his prowess behind the boards, inviting three noteworthy connects to do their thing over his chilly, yet driving electronic grooves. A Tribe Called Quest alumnus Q-Tip and Brooklyn electro-pop phenom Theophilus London take turns rocking the mic, and DMV singer/songwriter Alison Carney ties the cut together with a sultry guest hook. After the Dance isn't part of a larger body of work. Regardless, those who like what they're hearing can keep their browsers locked for more from Tittworth and his talented homies.
