My 14-year-old daughter, DQ, is moving out. It's weird; I never thought I'd type these words before she turned 18. But here I am, standing by as she packs up her bags and prepares to leave the nest. My nest. The one I have padded with protection and comfort since the day she was born, through a messy divorce, during financially tight times, and in her tumultuous teen years. She is flying the coop with my assistance when I drive her a full three hours away to live with her father. And this might just be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Read more >
My Dear Friend,For weeks now, I've contemplated how exactly to bring this up to you. I mean, how do I say these words to you without coming off as self-righteous and judgemental? I've worried that if I say something I'm sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. Intruding into your personal space. So please, before you excommunicate me and unfriend me on Facebook, please know that these words I'm about to say to you? They're very serious and heartfelt to me, and I'm telling you this because I LOVE YOU. Read more >
The news that Al and Tipper Gore were separating didn't shock me. Divorce happens. It did break my heart, but not necessarily for the couple themselves. My heart broke for their four adult children. A month and a half ago, my parents separated. I am 29 years old. They have been married for 30 years. My world is upside down. Read more >

Iran plans to privatize Imam Khomeini port
TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran's minister for roads, Hamid Behbahani, says Iran plans to privatize its biggest port in the Persian Gulf.
"Imam Khomeini port will be ceded to the private sector," Behbahani told reporters on the sidelines of a transportation conference in Tehran. The minister did not give further details about the move. Article 44 of the Iranian Constitution stipulates that the country's economic system shall be based on public, cooperative and private sectors. All large-scale industries, mother industries, foreign trade, large mines, banking, insurance, power supply, dams and large irrigation channels, radio and television, post, telegraph and telephone, aviation, shipping, roads, rails, refineries and the like are public property and under the guidance of the government. A 2004 amendment to the Article, however, has set in motion a ten-year plan to privatize eighty percent of Iran's state-owned assets. Earlier last month, Head of Iran's Privatization Organization Gholam-Reza Heydari-Kord Zangeneh said that the Islamic Republic of Iran has privatized $63 billion worth of government equity in state-owned firms since 2005.

On the XP PC at work I keep getting an advert with an arrow which points directly at My Posts. Difficult to avoid but not impossible.
On Vista I don't get the same.
I think these annoying adverts are something we're just going to have to live with. The Microsoft 365 has just elapsed, now we get another.
No matter how much we complain or contribute to endless threads, nothing will get done (despite promises to "look into it") because that's how the forums are funded (no cost to us apart from the inconvenience) so let's get on with life and try as best we can and live with it.

June 26, 2014 — By Pat Scheid
The Hewlett Foundation announced a pledge of $18.5 million to the Global Partnership for Education's 2015-18 replenishment today. The pledge, which will be fulfilled through the Foundation's grantmaking and technical support to civil society organizations and other key actors in global education, will support capacity building for better systems for learning assessment and the use of assessment data to inform planning and improve learning outcomes. It will also support civil society organizations that are using citizen-led, household assessments of learning to raise awareness about children's learning status and to motivate action at the national, sub-national and community level for improved learning.

Global Development and Population Program Officer Helena Choi, writing with David Devlin-Foltz of the Aspen Planning and Evaluation Program, at Stanford Social Innovation Review:
A few years ago, the Hewlett Foundation realized that supporting national or sub-national advocacy within the Global South required a new grant-making strategy and partners. The foundation worked with the Tides Foundation to launch the Money Well Spent initiative in 2009. The initiative was intended to support advocacy and policy-related activities to solve specific problems that hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of spending in the family planning and reproductive health sector. From the 151 initial letters-of-interest received, Hewlett selected six projects for funding in August 2009. The projects shared a focus on sub-Saharan Africa, but represented a wide diversity of scale, context, and approach. Three of these projects inform this essay: Pathfinder International's Tanzania office's work to encourage districts to fund family planning and reproductive health services; Gender Action's advocacy to eliminate user fees based on evidence of their impact on women's access to services in Cameroon and Uganda; and Ipas's projects in Malawi and Nigeria to demonstrate the cost savings associated with shifting from treating complications of unsafe abortion to providing safe abortion care. These three best illustrate the issues we wish to explore here: the relationships between a US-based funder, international non-governmental organizations (INGO) intermediaries, and local NGOs, and the use of locally generated evidence in support of advocacy.

June 20, 2014 — By Ruth Levine
Grant makers are very good at asking questions. We ask prospective grantees about everything from theories of change to potential leadership transitions to progress indicators. And while we're tireless in expressing curiosity about grantees' work, we do not spare ourselves from interrogation. We continuously ask ourselves and our colleagues: Why these priorities? Is this the right strategy? The right set of tactics? Could we get more impact if we allocated dollars differently?
Healthy as all this questioning is, I have to admit: Sometimes I find it exhausting. After all, this isn't just an academic exercise. Our job is to make grants and to learn from them so we make better grants the next time around. Somehow, we have to get from questions to actions.
That's why I've started to think about grants as ways to test hypotheses—statements of our belief that money spent in a particular way will yield a particular result. Scientists use hypotheses to translate big questions into discrete experiments, and to focus their attention on whether what happens is what they expected to happen or something else entirely. If grant makers think in terms of hypotheses, it permits us to ponder without becoming paralyzed.
If you're still with me: Each grant represents an educated guess. Only through observing how the grant plays out do we figure out if our guess was mostly right or mostly wrong. The guesswork is unavoidable because we operate within a context of tremendous complexity and uncertainty. We don't know, for example, whether the political and economic environment is going to be friendly to what we're trying to achieve. We don't know what combination of building evidence, supporting advocacy at elite or grassroots levels, supporting innovative organizations, and funding demonstrations activities is going to result in meaningful progress.
So we make our educated guesses, and we observe.
Thinking about a grant as a hypothesis has helped me identify what we should be trying to observe and how we're going to learn. To test a hypothesis, you have to look for both the evidence that confirms your beliefs and the evidence that might challenge them. That second part—looking for the things that will prove you wrong—is the hardest. But it's also the most important, and the most informative. We should always try to disprove our own hypotheses, so that we learn whether our strategies were, in fact, good ones.
Let me take one example: We've made a series of grants to help ensure experts from the Global South have a hand in setting the post-2015 agenda—defining the international development goals that the member states of the United Nations are expected to adopt in September 2015, as a successor to the Millennium Development Goals. The hypothesis underlying those grants was that participation of public intellectuals from Africa, Asia and Latin America would help ensure that the goals are better informed by on-the-ground realities, are more reflective of the priorities of low-income countries, and are seen as having greater legitimacy.
We might well be wrong. It's possible that scholars from southern think tanks and heads of non-governmental organizations in Dar es Salaam or Kathmandu are no more in touch with on-the-ground realities than people sitting on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. It's also possible that funding people to attend meetings and undertake research, or to write blog posts and op-eds, makes their ideas more visible but doesn't change the fraught negotiations at the United Nations.
So as we watch these grants unfold, we're not just looking for the evidence—although there is plenty of it—about the broad and diverse "conversation" about the post-2015 development agenda, some of which has resulted from our funding. We also are training a skeptical eye on that evidence, and questioning whether any real difference is resulting from all the input. We are pushing ourselves to challenge our own hypothesis. What we learn will help us decide whether to make future grants to increase the influence of southern civil society organizations on international policy, and how to best structure them.
There's one other great benefit of thinking about grants as testing hypotheses. In science, no experiment fails if you're able to learn something from it. People in our line of work could take a lesson from that.

Global Development and Population Fellow Rachel Quint recently co-authored a blog post with Allison Anderson of the Brookings Institution about the two leading proposals for education goals and targets in the post-2015 development agenda.
From Brookings' Education + Development blog:
One of the key questions facing the framers of the post-2015 agenda is how to best address education access, quality, outcomes and equity. While the Millennium Development Goal targets successfully prioritized schooling access, the last 15 years have illustrated that schooling access must be paired with actions that address education quality. Moreover, the expansion of access seen so far has left behind many of the most marginalized and poor children, including girls, and many who are in school face the "hidden exclusion" of being in school but not learning. Lively discussions among U.N. member states, U.N. agencies and civil society representatives are helping to craft meaningful goals and targets to shape international education policies. At the crux of these discussions are two proposals for education goals and targets: one from the inter-governmental Open Working Group (OWG) on Sustainable Development Goals and the other from the Education for All Steering Committee (EFA SC). But with two global proposals, how do we know which language to use in a post-2015 framework?

It is graduation season: caps and gowns, relieved students, and happy parents across the country.
I graduated from Troy High School in Fullerton, California many years ago—more, in fact, than I care to either count or reveal, but suffice it to say that when I donned my cap and gown, Tony Orlando and Dawn had the number one song in the country, the Berlin Wall was still intact, the closest thing anyone had to a personal computer was a calculator, and people still thumbed through gargantuan white and yellow tomes to find phone numbers.
My son Lucas graduated from high school only six years ago, just as the Great Recession was ratcheting up, and, while much has changed in the span of days that separates my son's graduation from my own, one thing that remains remarkably constant is the classroom experience in most of our nation's high schools.
Why is that a problem?
Here's why: while my son, like me, was lucky to finish college and land a job in his field straightaway—whew!—he and his classmates are unlikely to have a career path that is remotely similar to mine or that of my peers. After graduate school, I worked for nearly three decades for essentially the same employer—that curious industry known as the federal government—both at the White House and in Congress, before leaving to head the Hewlett Foundation's Education Program.
According to a 2012 study by the Associated Press, however, 53 percent of today's college graduates are unemployed or underemployed, the highest in more than a decade. Students born today will also probably have between ten and fourteen jobs before their thirty-eighth birthday. Further complicating things for this generation, according to the Department of Labor, is that most of the jobs that Lucas and his friends will likely apply for in the future—the good ones anyway—haven't even been invented yet.
Coupled with automation and outsourcing, these trends have redrawn the map of the American labor market, requiring today's high schools to reinvent the employees, employers, and citizens of tomorrow. To keep pace with the seismic environmental and social changes that are recalibrating America's future, our children will need a different set of skills than we acquired in high school.
When I graduated from high school, it was possible to get a job that would last a lifetime, as long as you possessed a strong work ethic and a basic procedural understanding of the world. Lucas' generation will almost certainly have to go a step further, and convince prospective employers that they can solve unforeseen problems, which don't appear on any standardized test or surface in a job interview. They will have to demonstrate a certain nimbleness of mind—and possess an educational portfolio that indicates a certain kind of depth.
To help address the needs of today's graduates, the Hewlett Foundation's Education Program has invested, since March 2010, in an emergent initiative known as Deeper Learning, which we believe best equips high school graduates with the tools—or in educators' lingua franca, "competencies"—they need to navigate the twenty-first century's shifting and uncertain terrain.
So, what is "deeper learning"? First, perhaps, I should note what deeper learning is not: it does not represent an abandonment of the basic principle that high school graduates should master core academic content such as reading, writing, and math. Indeed, deeper learning is a bit like baking a cake, with core content as a key ingredient, but the final product relies on a mix of desired educational outcomes that emphasize the ability to think critically and solve complex problems; communicate effectively; and collaborate, learn how to learn, and value learning (or what we in education call an "academic mindset"). These higher-order thinking skills and learning dispositions enhance mastery of content and allow students to apply their knowledge to new situations.
Until recently, the tools and evidence base available to reformers in this arena were limited. But a new book, written by a Bay Area educational consultant, Monica Martinez, and a research study released this month by one of our grantees, the American Institutes for Research (AIR), provide us with the strongest evidence yet of deeper learning's promise.
In the book, published by New Press, titled Deeper Learning: How Eight Innovative Public Schools Are Transforming Education in the Twenty-first Century, Martinez and her co-author, sociologist Dennis McGrath, were impressed with student achievement, both in the classroom and in their communities, when they were "freed from traditional educational systems that expected and relied on their passivity."
By eschewing a one-size-fits-all curriculum, teachers in the eight deeper learning schools studied were able to tailor the educational experience to their students' unique needs and ambitions, and identify "the spark—a subject, idea or project that makes a student light up."
That classroom success is beginning to materialize in ways that we can measure. In the recent AIR study, researchers found statistically significant increases—standard deviations of between 0.19 and 0.50—in all eight indices they established to measure opportunities for learning outcomes, including "communication, complex problem solving, creative thinking, and real world connections."
What's more, AIR found that the deeper learning schools they studied produce significantly higher on-time graduation rates. If non-network schools graduate sixty students on time, schools in the deeper learning network graduate sixty-nine students within four years.
These differences seem admittedly modest, but research of educational interventions typically show no change at all, so I hope you share the enthusiasm we felt at the Foundation to learn that our hopes for deeper learning are much more than mere wishful thinking.
They're on to something here.
So, with another graduation season upon us, we should think hard about what our kids can actually do with their degrees. If they receive only a traditional education, do well on multiple-choice tests like the ones I took, and do not go on to postsecondary education, they will likely move very quickly from celebrating commencement to struggling to find a job and keep it. If, however, they can demonstrate that they can solve unstructured, complex problems using new information—made possible because they have mastered deeper learning competencies—they are much more likely to be successful in college, land that first job, and fashion a rewarding—and remunerative—career as an adult.
Changing education to deliver deeper learning won't be easy for teachers, administrators, or policymakers. But deeper learning gives us a sense of where the finish line is, and while getting there will require a concerted effort from everyone—policymakers, teachers, parents, and schoolchildren—perhaps we should be mindful, now, more than ever, that America didn't become America by failing to rise to a challenge.

The Pew Research Center released one of the largest political studies in its history last week, which we were pleased to help support. Its findings, when coupled with longitudinal data from Pew surveys over the last two decades, reveal a complex picture of what is, and what is not, changing in the American electorate.
Some context: since 1987, Pew has conducted a periodic "Political Typology" survey exploring the causes, consequences, and extent of variations in American political values. Over its 20-year history, this study has surveyed the political beliefs and values of about 3,000 Americans, allowing for very useful insights about the country at large, but less nuanced understanding of how these values vary by age, geography, race or ethnicity, level of political engagement, or socio-demographic background. With this poll Pew has expanded this survey to include 10,000 respondents—enough to help us understand the many, many different flavors of American political opinions and values. It reveals an American public that is far more nuanced than our party structure allows for—some are very liberal, some are very conservative, but the vast majority (79%) doesn't consistently fall within either of these camps.
Let me share a few of the insights I have gleaned from the expanded typology data thus far:
I love data. Even somewhat depressing data like these. And the data don't stop here. The findings are so robust that they cannot all be discussed in one release (much less one blog post). So Pew will be releasing findings on a rolling basis over the next six months, and I imagine we that we at Hewlett will continue to blog about it. The series will soon look more closely at the relationship between polarization and media consumption, social networks, exposure to political messaging, geographic location, and economic status, amongst other things. This has given us much to think about. I hope that others are likewise inclined to wrestle with these data, their implications for our democracy, and what we can do to improve the American political landscape moving forward.

Let's hear it for the teens! With a little help from a few grownups, the teenagers of America seem to be figuring out how to keep their futures on track—or at least keep them from going off the rails by having a baby when they should be doing homework.
The National Center for Health Statistics just released new data showing that the number of births to girls 15-19 years old is the lowest it's been since 1933, the year the government started tracking it. In 2013 alone, both the number and the rate of teen births dropped by an astounding 10 percent. This means that since the peak year for teen childbearing in the 1970s, the rate of teen pregnancy has plummeted by 57 percent. The best news is for the high school-age kids; among girls ages 15-17, there's been a 68 percent drop in the pregnancy rate.
When a major social problem starts melting away, you've got to ask what's going on—and how we can keep the momentum going.
One side effect of the Great Recession that began in 2007 was a drop in the overall birth rate, but that doesn't come close to explaining these numbers. Our friends at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy have sliced and diced the data, looked at the research, and come up with a handful of reasons for the dramatic improvement:
Better birth control. While still nowhere near as popular among young people as the pill, teens are increasingly choosing long-acting contraceptive methods like IUDs and implants. No muss, no fuss, no babies.
Fewer teen moms beget fewer teen moms. With the teen birth rate declining steadily since the 1990s, fewer of today's teens have mothers who got pregnant at a young age. This is what a virtuous cycle looks like.
Medicaid pays. For 18- and 19-year-old women, Medicaid has covered family planning services in 26 states since the 1990s. In the U.S., as around the world, making family planning affordable to all pays off.
Media messages. Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant have shown their huge audiences how hard it is to have a baby when you're young. Combined with factual, no-nonsense information about sex and contraception, most of today's teens are no longer in the dark.
Teenage boys. You wouldn't think teenage boys would be on the list of explanations for a drop in teen pregnancy, but boys and young men have been having less sex and using more condoms. Prevention of HIV/AIDS is having broad benefits.
If these are the ingredients that go into preventing teen pregnancies, then we know what to do. In particular, we need to make sure that teens—both boys and girls—have the information they need to make choices about whether to have sex and how to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. And we need to ensure that reproductive health services are affordable, convenient, and focused on the needs of young people. While the kids are busy with their homework, that's the assignment we're working on.

When the Hewlett Foundation first began considering work in the democracy reform space in 2012, we had the same question that every new funder has upon entering a field: "Who is funding whom, to do what?"
We wanted to ensure we had a good feel for the landscape before we got too far out into it—both to avoid duplicating efforts and to enable more effective teamwork with other foundations. Not knowing the answers to these basic funding questions makes coordination, let alone collaboration, unnecessarily difficult. It can take dozens of calls with other funders to begin even to get the lay of the land. Details learned are often forgotten, so every time there is a funder convening, or every time a new funder comes along, the landscape analysis must be redone. It wouldn't surprise me if, when we were first entering the field, there was a collective groan from longstanding democracy funders—yet another freshman to educate!—who nonetheless graciously helped us get up to speed.
With all this in mind, in 2013 the Hewlett Foundation and seven other democracy funders joined together, under the guidance (read: leadership, execution, and pretty much everything else) of the Foundation Center, to begin to answer these questions—and to incorporate the answers in a form that would be readily accessible and continually updated. Our foundation partners were the Carnegie Corporation of New York, The JPB Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Omidyar Network's Democracy Fund, Open Society Foundations, the Rita Allen Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
The first step was to craft a taxonomy to help structure and organize the funding data. As you can imagine, there were a lot of vexing questions and perspectives here: from what was in or out of scope and what the main categories should be all the way down to the specific wording of each primary, secondary, and tertiary category. We laughed. We cried. We iterated—and then we repeated the process. Along the way we received enormously helpful input from dozens of experts and observers in different parts of the field, on both the funder and grantee side. In short, a crazy amount of collaboration happened.
The result is an online, interactive, data-based visualization tool: Foundation Funding for U.S. Democracy. Using the Foundation Center's data set for 2011 (which was used in the search pictured below), along with partial but growing sets of data for subsequent years, the tool allows users to map, chart, and filter data to gain a deeper understanding of the democracy funding landscape. While it remains a work in progress—necessarily, but also by design—it already offers a powerful new vantage point to consider the resources flowing from foundations to nonprofits working to strengthen democracy in the U.S.
Foundation Center President Brad Smith has a blog post summarizing his observations about the process and emerging patterns in the data. For my part, I will simply encourage you to start tooling around the site. Try out a few searches and get a feel for what it has to offer.
We will be helping all of our grantees familiarize themselves with this tool. Indeed, as useful as this data set and visualization will be for foundations already working in the field or new funders considering entering it, the real killer app for this work will be to help grant seekers. They can use it to answer questions like: who is funding the work we do, in the way and / or in the places that we do it? What are the areas of focus, key grantees, grant sizes, etc. of [insert your favorite] foundation? Which foundations are we best positioned to approach for support? What other nonprofits out there share our goals and could be good partners?
The tool provides data that is very valuable to foundations. It provides information that is both important and indeed urgent for nonprofits working to secure and expand the resources they need to advance their missions to improve the health of our democracy. And that, ultimately, is the whole point!

Willa Friedman has got me thinking about Hippocrates. In a recent blog post at the Center for Global Development, she asks a question we've probably all wondered about: in the face of poverty and suffering, "isn't doing something better than doing nothing?" Willa cites two recent studies demonstrating that aid projects intended to alleviate poverty instead led to an increase in violence. Yes, sometimes, despite the best of intentions, aid does harm.
So this made me wonder if we need some version of the Hippocratic Oath, the credo that newly minted physicians recite, which reminds them to wield a doctor's power and influence with humility and care.
While the Hippocratic Oath is well known for its injunction, "First, do no harm," there's more to it. The modern interpretation of the oath speaks of the physician's solemn responsibility to protect the privacy of patients, to practice the art as well as the science of medicine, and to place patients' needs above financial gain or social status.
What would the equivalent of a Hippocratic Oath look like for those working in international development? Surely we would need something about tempering enthusiasm for novelty and innovation with a respect for hard-won lessons of the past. Plus a commitment to leave an honest record of what succeeded and what failed, even at the risk of revealing one's own hubris, inexperience, or misjudgment. We'd have to commit to balancing data and expert knowledge with empathy, observation, and simply asking questions of the people we hope to help—and then actually listening to the answers. Perhaps we'd have to foreswear using photographs that evoke pity, particularly for the purposes of fundraising. Maybe we'd have to toss in a variant of the Golden Rule: Don't do unto those in other countries what we wouldn't want them doing unto us. And, of course, do no harm.
International development doesn't have its roots in a priesthood of physician-healers, and Hippocrates would probably have a tough time understanding the academic disciplines of international relations or development economics. But he just might see the value in thinking about the obligations of a profession like ours. What oath should we pledge when we bring money, scientific knowledge, and promises into the lives of poor people who live far away from us, imagining we can solve their problems?

The Dodgers' re-signing of Manny Ramirez pretty much locks up the NL West for Los Angeles and vaults them into the small group of elite teams in the National League. The main reason isn't just the production he brings to the table or even the lightness he brings to the clubhouse. It's the swagger and confidence he brings to the table. A perfect example is the pitching staff, which could be the Achilles' heel of the Dodgers. This is a starting rotation that has some holes in it and that would have a much smaller margin of error if not for the presence of Manny. Now, instead of going into every game thinking they have to throw their best stuff, these guys know they can relax because they will get run support. Trust me, a pitcher who is relaxed and confident is a guy who's going to get the job done for your team. Now, contrast that with teams within the Dodgers' division such as the Padres, Giants and Diamondbacks who might have better all-around pitching staffs but don't have that kind of confidence in their lineup. Constantly having to reach back and give their all early in the season will catch up to these teams later in the year. Manny gives the Dodgers a great balance offensively. They now have four good hitting righty hitters (Casey Blake, Russell Martin, Matt Kemp and Manny), two lefty starters (Andre Ethier and James Loney) and two switch-hitters (Orlando Hudson and Rafael Furcal). That will make it much more difficult for opposing managers to decide which relievers to bring in late in the game. Also, Manny's presence means that manager Joe Torre can do a lot of different things with this lineup. Juan Pierre is now coming off the bench and bringing speed and a decent lefty bat along with fellow lefty hitter Blake DeWitt. Barring major injuries, this team very well could be playing well into October with Manny in the middle of the order. Past Baseball Tonight Clubhouses: March 3 | March 2 | March 1TIME | WHO'S ON? |

Retained earnings is the accumulated portion of net income that is not distributed to shareholders. Westport Innovations Inc's retained earnings for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2014 was $-700.0 Mil.
Westport Innovations Inc's quarterly retained earnings declined from Mar. 2014 ($-639.2 Mil) to Jun. 2014 ($-674.6 Mil) and declined from Jun. 2014 ($-674.6 Mil) to Sep. 2014 ($-700.0 Mil).
Westport Innovations Inc's annual retained earnings declined from Mar. 2011 ($-284.5 Mil) to Dec. 2012 ($-429.9 Mil) and declined from Dec. 2012 ($-429.9 Mil) to Dec. 2013 ($-615.3 Mil).
Retained Earnings is the accumulated portion of net income that is not distributed to shareholders. Because the net income was not distributed to shareholders, shareholders equity is increased by the same amount.
Of course, if a company loses, it is called retained losses, or accumulated losses.
Historically profitable companies sometimes have negative retained earnings. This is because they have cumulatively paid out more to shareholders than they reported in profits.
For example, in 2011, Microsoft had negative retained earnings. This does not mean the company lost more money than it made over the years. It just means it paid out more money than it earned.
If a company has negative retained earnings, investors should check the 10-year financial results. They should not assume that negative retained earnings prove a company has generally lost money in the past.
Of course, many companies with negative retained earnings have indeed lost money in the past.
Retained Earnings: Warren Buffetts Secret.
One of the most important indicators of durable competitive advantage. Net earnings can be paid out as dividends, used to buy back shares or retained for growth.
If the company loses more than it has accumulated, retained earnings is negative.
If a company isnt adding to its retained earnings, it isnt growing its net worth.
Rate of growth of retained earnings is good indicator whether its benefiting from a competitive advantage.
Microsoft is negative because it chose to buyback stock and pay dividends.
The more earnings retained, the faster it grows and increases growth rate for future earnings.

This man killed one of my best friends. Eden and I were highschool buds. We did a lot of things together. What this story is not telling is that Eden went to prison for one year for robbing a quick stop at gun point when he was 18. I went to school wiith graham also. These are both good kids with bad things that happened to them. What this story doesnt tell is that Eden and Graham were like best friends when this happened. I know both of them. Eden messed up when he was young. He was like the prep in school and graham was an awesome baseball player. Eden was killed in self defense. I love Eden but he is a big guy. When he got out of his first prison stint he had a white mustang. Listen to me I loved him but he changed. Eden was not Eden. He was angry ...stand offish...someone who I didnt want to be around.. My name is Adam Owen .... For the Graham family .... Eden was not Eden......Dont get me wrong i miss Eden... He was innocent until they sent him to prison at 18. ohhh well...Graham ur ok bro... Rest in peace Eden...

The Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair 2010
Yesterday was spent at the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair, where I met up with family and craft friends. I managed to stash some fabrics, play with dream sewing machines as well as be inspired by the colors and techniques of the quilts on display. I thought I'd show you some of the highlights of my day starting with the my favorite:
King David's Modern Crown by Karen from Quilts on Bastings
Karen's quilt - Kind David's Modern Crown - was entered in the Long Arm section of the Exhibition and was awared a Runners Up Ribbon. You can see more pictures of this quilt on Karen's Blog. I think we were both equally excited about this wonderful achievement!
Texas Star by Sandra Boyle
Hand pieced and hand quilted
This is only a snippet of the quilt - I just loved the unique technique and use of fabric

Dear Rita,
Many thanks for this posting for a snippet of the Fair - I returned back to Perth earlier this week after having 2 weeks "home" in Melbourne however just missed the show so it was lovely to see some gorgeous displayed quilts - congratulations to your sister too!
Bye for now, ChristineI have a sewing machine question for you! Since you've been borrowing the 440QE do you love it as much as you thought you would? How does it compare to your Janome? I am hunting for a machine at the moment and considering a 440QE or a Janome Horizon and wondering what your thoughts are?
Thanks so much :D
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Feel free to ask questions and I will answer either here or by email, as is appropriate.

NASA Announces Discovery Of Ice on Mercury!
Submitted by Diamond Dog on Thu, 11/29/2012 - 15:40Hufington Post: NASA announced Thursday that its Messenger probe has discovered new evidence of water ice on Mercury.
In the announcement, Sean Solomon, principal investigator for the Mercury Messenger program, said the probe had uncovered new evidence that deposits in permanently shadowed regions of Mercury's poles is water ice. The ice is found predominantly in impact craters, according to data obtained by Messenger.
According to a NASA press release, the tilt of Mercury's rotational axis is almost zero -- less than one degree -- so there are pockets at the planet's poles that never see sunlight. Scientists suggested decades ago that there might be water ice at Mercury's poles, but the new findings provide"compelling support" for that claim.
Messenger used neutron spectroscopy to measure average hydrogen concentrations, an indicator of water ice.
"The neutron data indicate that Mercury's radar-bright polar deposits contain, on average, a hydrogen-rich layer more than tens of centimeters thick beneath a surficial layer 10 to 20 centimeters thick that is less rich in hydrogen," wrote David Lawrence, a Messenger scientist based at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. "The buried layer has a hydrogen content consistent with nearly pure water ice."

It turns out that The Hurt Locker wasn't the legal minefield it was accused of being.
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed last year against the makers of the Oscar-winning Iraq war drama by a U.S. Army sergeant who claimed that screenwriter Mark Boal ripped off his life and wartime experiences to create Jeremy Renner's Ranger Sgt. First Class Will James, aka "Blaster One."
Actually, going by the ruling, the critics weren't the only big fans of the cinematic nail-biter.
MORE: Oscar Conspiracy Alert: Is Someone Out to Get The Hurt Locker?
"Here, the value of The Hurt Locker unquestionably derived from the creativity and skill of the writers, directors, and producers who conceived, wrote, directed, edited, and produced it," U.S. District Court Judge Jaqueline H. Nguyen wrote in her 22-page decision to dismiss the case.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement for Kathryn Bigelow & Co. to us!
"No artist should ever be forced to create entire fictional worlds that have no basis in reality simply because they fear the threat of meritless lawsuits," said attorney Jeremiah Reynolds, who represented Bigelow and Boal.
The plaintiff, Sgt. Jeffrey Sarver, was also ordered to pay the defense's legal fees, but his attorney, Todd Welgarz, says they're going to appeal the decision.

"We are not going to stop representing the rights of Sgt. Sarver and other military members and the privacy of their families," Welgarz said.
Meanwhile, Boal can breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Hurt Locker was inspired by many soldiers I met and interviewed during my time reporting in Iraq and elsewhere," said Boal, who was embedded with Sarver's unit in Iraq in 2004 as research for the eventual Playboy article that served as the basis for 2010's Best Picture Oscar winner.
READ: Hot Dog Flying! Lawsuit Incoming! Why Is Ryan Gosling Driving People Crazy?
"It was a disservice to all of those other soldiers for Sgt. Sarver to claim that he was the only soldier that was the basis for the hero of the film. I am glad that the Court has decided to dismiss the lawsuit."
Nguyen also said she was dismissing Sarver's complaint because Boal's article was published in 2005, and the statute of limitations had run out to sue for certain grievances that he claimed originated with the magazine piece.
UPDATE 12/9/2011: Sgt. Jeffrey Sarver was ordered by a federal judge to pay more than $180,000 in attorneys fees for filing the lawsuit that was eventually dismissed, per The Hollywood Reporter. According to court documents, $38,000 of that total goes to Boal and Bigelow, $90,000 for the Hurt Locker producing team and $59,000 for Summit.

Readers may not recognize Booth newcomer TP (unless you're a big Tar Heels fan – he was #14) but if the North Carolina native has anything to say about it, it won't be long before are hailing him as a hip-hop hero. Well aware you've Gotta Work to earn that kind of admiration, the Raleigh emcee assures listeners of his work ethic on this newly-leaked cut. Khrysis handles production duties, serving up an understated percussion groove supported with mellow piano chords as the emcee affirms his dedication to the hustle in a witty and allusive verse. Further proving that work and play – especially wordplay – are a natural combo, fellow First in Flight State natives King Mez and HaLo drop guest verses liberally seasoned with pop-referential punchlines, and singer Heather Victoria rounds out the lineup, tying the record together with some breezy chorus vocals. Does this laid-back but determined banger leave you craving more? Your wish will be granted March 22, when TP's Booth-hosted TP Is My Hero EP hits our mixtape page for free streaming and download.

You know how when you work somewhere and you're told to do something one way, but you know it would make so much more sense if you did it a different way? Or what about when you're trying to help someone and deep down you know that they really needed you a long, long time ago and it's going to be so much harder to help them now? That used to be me, but then one of my good friends challenged me to be the change. She basically said if you have a better way then do it....and I did! Introducing PCPP.

2014 has been an awesome experience for me. Not because I've had a ton of successes, but because of the many, many, valuable lessons that I've learned. I will be honest and admit that I haven't enjoyed this process much, but as I sit in my home office. With dinner in the crockpot and the title BOSS over my door...I'm happy. So here's what I've learned the hard way...and the year isn't even over! Take note and save yourself some heartache.

Written by Andrea Holyfield on Monday, 18 August 2014.
Thank you for the support and encouragement that I've received since the #August2014 announcement was made on my blog and blasted all over my social media channels. I am so super excited about my transition. I remain in awe over the way that God is moving things in my life. I am not without roadblocks and resistance, but I am working to see obstacles as things that exist in my thoughts not real things that exist in the world. It's helping, but I have a road to travel.
I have really appreciate the friends, subscribers, followers, etc., who have contacted me and asked how they can support me on my journey. It means so much to me that so many people believe in me and want to help so in efforts to reaffirm my commitment to blogging as well as answer everyone and stop saying, "let me think about it and get back to you," I thought about a couple of things. Here are the top five ways that you can support my transition:

Student Remembered
As appeared in the Muskogee Phoenix
By Wendy Burton Phoenix Staff Writer
WARNER ÔÇö Connors State College President Timothy Faltyn began a vigil for Melinda Shatto by speaking about the lessons Shatto left as a legacy.
ÔÇťActs of violence … cannot trump love,ÔÇŁ Faltyn said Monday evening, about the loss of Shatto in a murder-suicide Friday morning. ÔÇťMy hope is that her zest for life is an inspiration for us all.ÔÇŁ
Shatto, 37, was killed by ex-boyfriend Charles Dickson, 48, while her 7-year-old daughter was in her home. Her daughter was not injured.
Dickson then turned the gun on himself, police officials said.
ShattoÔÇÖs family held candles and clung to one another, surrounded by friends at Connors State College during the vigil.
The vigil was held by ShattoÔÇÖs fellow Phi Theta Kappa members and officers in memory of the woman they said was a ÔÇťwonderful mother and a wonderful friend.ÔÇŁ
Jolene Armstrong, CSC librarian, is the schoolÔÇÖs PTK adviser. Armstrong, who was overwhelmed with emotion while talking about her friend, said Shatto will be sorely missed.
ÔÇťMel was a fun-loving person,ÔÇŁ Armstrong said. ÔÇťShe made friends easily, was a very outgoing, happy person. She was kind. She never said a mean word about anybody.ÔÇŁ
ÔÇťShe was a wonderful person. This shouldnÔÇÖt have ever happened,ÔÇŁ Armstrong said. ÔÇťItÔÇÖs just so senseless.ÔÇŁ
PTK Chapter President 2011-2012 Jeff Sweeten said Shatto was someone he worked closely with and admired.
ÔÇťShe was very tenacious, very opinionated ÔÇö in a wonderful way,ÔÇŁ Sweeten said. ÔÇťShe was always trying to improve her life and everybodyÔÇÖs life around her.ÔÇŁ
Lynne Harry, a CSC student and PTK member who said an Osage prayer for Shatto during the vigil, said she and Shatto were very close.
ÔÇťI came to school after being out 20 years, and I needed a second chance at life,ÔÇŁ Harry said. ÔÇťI met Melinda as I was moving into housing, and I found she was Native American too. And then I found out her daughter was the same tribe as I am. We had a lot in common.ÔÇŁ
Harry and Shatto became fast friends, especially when Harry helped convince Shatto to go to college full-time.
ÔÇťI said, ÔÇśI donÔÇÖt want to be the only old chick in class,ÔÇÖÔÇŁ Harry said, laughing and wiping away a tear. ÔÇťOne day I walked into housing, and she said, ÔÇśTomorrow is my last day. IÔÇÖm going to do it.ÔÇÖÔÇŁ
Harry said her prayer for Shatto at MondayÔÇÖs vigil was special.
As appeared in the Muskogee Phoenix
By: Wendy Burton
ÔÇťIÔÇÖm giving her a prayer and a poem to honor her as my native sister,ÔÇŁ Harry said.
Even those who didnÔÇÖt know Shatto well said she impacted their lives in a positive way.
Raven Coward of Wyoming came to Warner for the memorial vigil because she met Shatto at a PTK National competition and they became friends.
ÔÇťShe was just a caring person,ÔÇŁ Coward said.
 Coward remembers Shatto as a fun person too.
ÔÇťWhen I met her on the bus, she said, ÔÇśBless your heart,ÔÇÖÔÇŁ Coward said, smiling. ÔÇťThen she told me it was a southern way of telling people theyÔÇÖre a little crazy.ÔÇŁ
Reach Wendy Burton at (918) 684-2926 or email@example.com.
Funeral arrangements
The funeral for Melinda Shatto is set for 1 p.m. Wednesday at Antioch Baptist Church in Stigler under the direction of Mallory-Martin Funeral Home.
