News in Brief
Work Groups Picked for K-12 Standards
Scholars, teachers, state officials, school administrators, and at least one librarian fill the ranks of the newly announced "work groups" for developing K-12 standards in English-language arts and mathematics, whose members were announced last week.
The K-12 standards are the second phase of an effort to craft common academic standards across states, known as the Common Core State Standards Initiative. The first phase was the writing of college- and career-readiness standards, a draft of which was released in September. The Washington-based Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association are leading the endeavor.
The English-language arts members include Michael Kamil, a professor of language learning and policy at Stanford University; Tracy Robertson, an English coordinator with the Virginia education department; Timothy Shanahan of the University of Illinois at Chicago; and a librarian, Steve Delvecchio of Seattle. The math group members include Deborah Loewenberg Ball, the dean of the University of Michigan's school of education; Francis M. "Skip" Fennell, a former president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and a professor at McDaniel College in Maryland; and Roger Howe, a professor of mathematics at Yale University.
A full list of work-group members can be seen at www.corestandards.org.

Carrier Settings files are basically files the phone's OS uses to determine how to connect to carrier proprietary network services... it may change how a phone will display roaming conditions. For best end-user performance, it's probably a good idea to update when it says there's an update available.

Mine popped up on my phone on Saturday, and i tapped it to update. When that was done, I also did a *228 opt.2 just for the heck of it as well
My version also says 11.3, iOS5.0.1, and the PRL stayed the same. If i'm not mistaken I think the version prior ot this update was 11.1....i'm not 100% sure tho as i don't look at this screen too often.
I see a few members here that are on 5.1 with version 12.0, so obviously if you were to upgrade your iOS, i imagine it would upgrade to that version change as welliHeartMyPINKalicious5C~GOLD5S~iPadAir~MBPretina*drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead. now you're one of us, you're coming with me* - 05-09-2012, 12:58 AM #12

China discipline warning after Bo Xilai expelled
China's official news agency Xinhua has warned that no-one, no matter what rank, will be immune from Communist Party discipline.
The statement came hours after state media reported that top politician Bo Xilai was being expelled from the party to face criminal charges.
Mr Bo, the ex-Communist Party leader in the city of Chongqing, is accused of abuse of power and corruption.
His wife was given a suspended death sentence for murdering a UK national.
In August, Gu Kailai was found guilty of murdering British businessman Neil Heywood in November 2011.
The scandal has overshadowed the party congress that will oversee China's change of leadership, which is expected to see Xi Jinping replace Hu Jintao as president. It will begin on 8 November, state media have announced.
Timeline: Bo Xilai scandal
- 6 Feb: Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun flees to the US consulate in Chengdu
- 15 Mar: Bo Xilai is removed from his post in Chongqing
- 20 Mar: Rumours suggest Mr Bo could be linked to the death of British businessman Neil Heywood
- 10 Apr: Mr Bo is suspended from party posts and his wife, Gu Kailai, is investigated over Mr Heywood's death
- 26 July: Gu Kailai and Bo family employee Zhang Xiaojun are charged with killing Mr Heywood
- 9 Aug: Gu one-day trial for murder held
- 20 Aug: Gu given suspended death sentence
- 5 Sep: Wang charged with defection, abuse of power and bribe-taking
- 24 Sep: Wang sentenced to 15 years in jail
- 28 Sep: Bo Xilai expelled from party to "face justice"
Before the scandal broke, 63-year-old Mr Bo had been a prime candidate for a top post.
Reporting an official statement from a party leaders' meeting as it announced the decision, the state news agency, Xinhua, said the party must recognise the "perennial, complex and arduous nature of the anti-corruption fight".
The battle against corruption should be given a more prominent place on its agenda, Xinhua reports, "leaving no room for corrupt figures to hide within the party".
The statement urged "party organisations at all levels" to take heed of the "negative example" of the Bo Xilai case.
The BBC's Martin Patience, in Beijing, says the Bo Xilai announcement ends months of speculation over the fate of a man who was once one of China's most powerful politicians.
Our correspondent says it is clear China's leaders wanted to try to end the damaging revelations, with the once-in-a-decade leadership change looming.
He says Mr Bo's career is over and he will almost certainly spend time in jail.
'Grave repercussions'Mr Bo has not been seen in public since mid-March, shortly after the scandal erupted and it was announced he was under investigation. He was suspended from his party posts in April.
"Start Quote
End Quote Post by Qinyang on QQ.comCan people trust the government and the party any more?"
Xinhua said Mr Bo stood accused of corruption, abuse of power, bribe-taking and improper relations with women.
The statement carried by Xinhua said Mr Bo "took advantage of his office to seek profits for others and received huge bribes personally and through his family".
It added: "Bo's behaviour brought serious consequences, badly undermined the reputation of the party and the country, created very negative impact at home and abroad and significantly damaged the cause of the party and people."
Xinhua said the violations included Mr Bo's time as an official in Dalian and Liaoning provinces, and as minister of commerce.
"Bo had affairs and maintained improper sexual relationships with a number of women," the statement added.
Xinhua said Mr Bo had been expelled from the party and the elite decision-making Politburo and Central Committee as he had "abused his power, made severe mistakes and bore major responsibility in the Wang Lijun incident and the intentional homicide case of [Gu Kailai]".
Wang Lijun was Chongqing's former police chief who was sentenced to 15 years in jail for ''bending the law, defection, abuse of power and bribetaking" in the Neil Heywood case.

Are you a Third Culture or Global Nomad young adult? Or are you a mentor, parent, counselor or educator that cares for them? Join us as we explore mindfulness with the experts. You will have the opportunity to practice mindfulness techniques and to ask questions along the way.
What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is a method of paying attention to the present moment using mind-body awareness techniques such as meditation, breathing and movement. It helps people respond to life's challenges more effectively and without judgment rather than reacting to situations automatically.
We are excited to have international psychologists as our guest presenters:
Kate Berger, MSc is a Child and Adolescent Psychologist and certified mindfulness instructor located in The Netherlands. She is the founder of The Expat Kids Club, a private practice for children living in a non-native environment, and works in collaboration with Mindfulness International.

Fisher shot 1-for-9 from the field in Game 2, and is 2-of-16 in the series. Fellow shooter Mehmet Okur is not much better at 7-for-28 in the two games combined. And do-it-all Andrei Kirilenko has done little with just one block and two steals, all from Game 2.
The Jazz's bench hasn't fared much better, combining for only eight points in Game 2 and making little difference in Game 1.
No wonder Sloan said, "We're going to have to have a tremendous effort out of everybody."
Little wonder, too, his players agree.
"Our team has relied all season, including the postseason, on really good, balanced offensive production," Fisher said. "We've never been a team that has really built ourselves on having success with just two or maybe three guys doing most of the scoring for us."
Striking a balance between getting everyone involved and taking advantage of what little the Spurs allow, however, is no simple task.
"They definitely try to take things away," Williams said. "They don't help much off Memo, they're not helping much off Fish (Fisher) because he hurt (earlier playoff opponents) Golden State and Houston with his outside shooting. They clog up Boozer, and that's why I am getting to the lane pretty easily. They are a smart team."
"We've proven this year when we've got five guys on the court that are all involved in the offense, we're tough to guard," forward Matt Harpring added. "I just don't think we're as good when one or two guys are trying to do it all. But you've got to give San Antonio credit. ... They've scouted us pretty good, and they know exactly what we're gonna do, and they try to take it away from us. That's what they're supposed to do."
And they do it, Sloan would hasten to add, oh-so-well.
"At the end of all situations they've been involved in," the Jazz coach said, "they've been able to make plays and we can't see it coming. That's what smart teams do."
The Jazz?
Sloan, dry from exasperation, probably wouldn't mind Utah's point taking a turn churning some dirt.
"We're not screening well. We're not moving well without the ball," Williams said. "We've got to execute. We've got to go through our offense full speed, not half speed, and look for all options."

Southwark Cathedral
The mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark.
Southwark Cathedral is a parish church which became a cathedral early in the 20th century. St Swithin of weather fame founded a convent on the site which later became a monastery. Henry VIII's closure of the priory led to the main building becoming the parish church. William Shakespeare is believed to have been present when John Harvard, founder of the American university, was baptised here in 1607. This is the year that William's own brother Edmond was buried between the choir stalls. Nearby is the Shakespeare memorial.
The Millennium Project development to the north of the cathedral includes a refectory and a shop with specially commissioned Southwark products. The cloister style courtyard is on the site of the original cloister in use when Southwark Cathedral was a riverside priory. The old and new buildings are separated by an ancient alleyway which has reopened as a glazed street called Lancelot's Link.
On Sundays the main choral eucharist is at 11am.

About Short Sleeve Cycling Jerseys
Short sleeve cycling jerseys are cut to provide a close fit whilst riding, they are made from stretchy, breathable materials, which help transfer moisture away from the body and keep you comfortable on the bike. They are best combined with a quality base layer on hot days and can be worn under a jacket on cooler days, making them a good choice as part of a layering system as well as a single item. When choosing a jersey consider how much venting you would like and look at the zip lengths, the longer the zip the higher the ventilation choice you will have. Cycle Jerseys also feature open pockets on the rear for carrying items such as energy gels, energy bars or inner tubes.

"Card is gorgeous, can't be be beat for formatting, customization and price. I would have given 5 stars except there were a lot of issues with the website and I had to call in and have a customer service agent make the card for me blindly. It took a lot of time and patience that I didn't have, especially with a newborn, but the customer service was great and I have already reordered more. PS If you want the tiny prints logo removed at the back, just ask."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"The photo quality on the cards was excellent, and the design just beautiful. It's a shame to have to post them! The cards were delivered very quickly, too."
"The photo we picked has very vibrant colors and I was not disappointed in the print quality at all. Everything was as bright and cheery as promised (: My only regret is that I didn't have more made. Going for round two so I can send a few more of these out."

Time Out continues developing presence on the mobile app.
Time Out New York's newest Foursquare effort underscores how increasingly serious the magazine and other media companies are about combining traditional publishing with mobile.
"There's a utility to having content available on mobile that we really want to tap into," Janet Caputo, social media marketing director at Time Out, told ClickZ News. "It's a really big goal [going forward]. We are definitely taking mobile more seriously."
The magazine's cover this week includes its second badge effort, dubbed "King of New York", on the geo-social app. Foursquare users can lay claim to the badge by checking into three of the 50 locations appearing in Time Out's "Best of New York City" list. The users can also compete to sit atop the the initiative's leaderboard by contributing tips about bars, restaurants, and other venues.
What's more, the print publication will feature the top three Foursquare "Best of New York City" tips players each week for the next year. To be considered for the magazine showcase, the users have to link their Foursquare accounts to Facebook and Twitter.
The initiative builds on Time Out's 18-month Foursquare run, which began with its "Happy Hour" badge. The magazine was also a brand launch partner when the geo-social app introduced its Tip Lists feature during August.
Time Out New York now has nearly 63,000 Foursquare followers and ranks No. 51 among brands, according to Foursquarebrands.com. For comparison, the New York City-only publication ranks ahead of national brands such as Rolling Stone, The Daily Show, and business tech magazine Fast Company.
"The Tip Lists have really helped skyrocket our growth very recently," Caputo said. "We saw something in the neighborhood of a [25 percent] growth in the last couple of months."
Highlighting how targeting on-the-go consumers has become increasingly important to Time Out, Caputo said the magazine planned to release a new version of its mobile app in the coming months that will include advertising/sponsorship opportunities. In addition, she said the publication was considering developing its first iPad app.
"We are trying to leverage the Time Out brand and round out our presence on all the different digital platforms," the social media marketing director said. "The two pillars of digital for me are social and mobile. Foursquare is a part of both of those pillars. I think there is an inherent utility to our content that can be used on the go. Our readers like lists - they like to read about what there is to do."
Caputo's magazine is far from the only media company to test Foursquare since geo-social app began gaining traction in spring 2010. The History Channel, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and NBC's The Today Show are among other major examples.

Title: | The emergence of Noun + Noun constructions with a regressive order in contemporary French? |
Author: | Rudy Loock |
Institution: | Université Lille - Nord de France |
Linguistic Field: | Syntax |
Subject Language: |
French |
Abstract: | This paper investigates the emergence of atypical noun+noun structures exhibiting regressive order (head-final or N) in contemporary French such as la grève attitude ('the strike attitude') or la Marcelle solidarité ('the Marcelle solidarity'). Using attested examples drawn from contemporary media, the aim of the paper is to provide a detailed description and history of these data, as well as to study its productivity through the emergence of patterns such as la N attitude or la N Academy/Académie. Using traditional tests, the paper also investigates the morphological versus syntactic nature of the construction and concludes in favour of the former. |

Shanshui City
Design: Kenya Hara
Shanshui City, the latest book from MAD Architects' founder and principal partner, Ma Yansong, received an international release in October 2014. The publishing of the book coincides with the 10th anniversary of the founding of MAD Architects. Ma's poetic, yet precise language details the development and practice of design philosophy "Shanshui City", at the core of which is the idea that, "architects should delineate a new ideal for the city of the future, to gradually construct an urban environment that embodies both the convenience of the modern city and the ancient Eastern affinity for the natural world." "Shanshui" is an idealized worldview developed by Chinese through extended contact with the natural world, a worldview that integrates the everyday life of humanity with the impulse to seek spiritual refuge in nature. This "Shanshui City" is not simply an eco-city, or a garden-city, nor does it imply modeling the city's architecture on natural forms such as mountains. It represents humanity's affinity for the natural world, and our quest for inner fulfillment, as expressed in philosophies of the East.

Nicholas HawksmoorLondon Churches
Edited by Mohsen Mostafavi
Photographs by Hélène Binet
British architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (approx. 1661–1736) is recognized as one of the major contributors to the traditions of British and European architectural culture. Nevertheless, there is insufficient visual documentation and analysis of his work. Nicholas Hawksmoor: London Churches reconsiders his architecture in relation to urbanism. The publication focuses on a series of important London churches the architect designed during the early part of the eighteenth century. The key distinguishing features of these churches are their spires, each designed with different qualities and motifs. While Hawksmoor was inspired by the ancient history of architecture, his work was considered radical and contemporary in its day.
Photographer Hélène Binet was specially commissioned to document the various aspects of the seven remaining London churches. Her immaculate black and white photographs demonstrate the beauty of Hawksmoor's architecture with special attention to the variety of scales, sites, interiors, textures, and materials.Design: Integral Lars Müller

Edited by Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ana Miljački, Ashley Schafer, Carlos Minguez Carrasco, Jacob Reidel
OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: "The Office" and "The Repository". The "Repository" presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The "Office" engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique.

Ethics of the Urban
Ethics of the UrbanThe City and the Spaces of the Political
Edited by Mohsen Mostafavi
In collaboration with Harvard Graduate School of Design
Is democracy spatial? How are the physical aspects of our cities, houses, streets, and public spaces—the borders, the neighborhoods, the monuments—bearers of our values? In a world of intensifying geo-economic integration, extreme financial and geopolitical volatility, deepening environmental crises, and a dramatic new wave of popular protest against both authoritarian government and capitalist speculation, cities have become leading sites for new claims on state power and new formations of political subjectivity. This volume brings together perspectives from history, sociology, art, political theory, planning, law, and design practice to explore the urban spaces of the political. A selection of contemporary photography from around the world offers a visual refl ection of this timely investigation.
Contributors include: Michael Arad, Diane Davis, Keller Easterling, Gerald Frug, Mohsen Mostafavi, Chantal Mouffe, Erika Naginski, Saskia Sassen, Richard Sennett, Loïc Wacquant, Krzysztof Wodiczko.
MOHSEN MOSTAFAVI, an architect and educator, is the Dean of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design.

Ladislav SutnarVisual Design in Action
Edited by Reto Caduff and Steven Heller
Facsimile Reprint of the original book with the same title published in 1961Sutnar's brilliant structural systems for clarifying otherwise dense industrial data placed him in the pantheon of Modernist pioneers and made him one of the visionaries of what is today called "information design." Visual Design in Action is a snapshot of Sutnar's American period (1939–1976), and includes graphics for Carr's Department Store, advertisements for the Vera Neumann Company, identity for Addo-X, and other stunningly contemporary works. He is best known for his total design concept for the Sweets Catalog Service and lesser known for introducing the parenthesis as a way to typographically distinguish the area code from the rest of a phone number.
Visual Design in Action is a testament to the historical relevance of Modernism and the philosophical resonance of Sutnar's focus on the functional beauty of total clarity. This reprint of Visual Design in Action (originally published in limited quantities in 1961) is as spot-on about the power of design and "design thinking" as it ever was.21,5 x 31,5 cm, 8 ½ x 12 ½ in, 188 pages, approx. 378 illustrations, hardcover (2014)

Genealogy of Modern ArchitectureA Comparative Critical Analysis of Built Form by Kenneth Frampton
Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected. Richly illustrated, Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a new standard work in architectural education.
KENNETH FRAMPTON, born 1930, is one of the world's most renowned architectural theorists, the author of the world best seller Modern Architecture: A Critical History, and a professor at Columbia University, New York.

Bucky Inc.Architecture in the Age of Radio
Bucky Inc. offers a deep exploration of Richard Buckminster Fuller's work and thought to shed new light on the questions raised by our increasingly electronic world. It shows that Fuller's entire career was a multi-dimensional refl ection on the architecture of radio. He always insisted that the real site of architecture is the electromagnetic spectrum. His buildings were delicate mobile instruments for accessing the invisible universe of overlapping signals. Every detail was understood as a way of tuning into hidden waves. Architecture was built in, with, for and as radio. Bucky Inc. rethinks the legacy of one of the key protagonists of the twentieth-century. It draws extensively on Fuller's archive to follow his radical thinking from toilets to telepathy, plastic to prosthetics, and data to deep-space. It shows how the critical arguments and material techniques of arguably the single most exposed designer of the last century were overlooked at the time but have become urgently relevant today.

Cutting Matta-ClarkThe Anarchitecture Project
Edited by James Graham
In Collaboration with Columbia GSAPP BooksOf the many shows at the fabled 112 Greene Street gallery—an artistic epicenter of New York's downtown scene in the 1970s—the Anarchitecture group show of March 1974 has been the subject of the most enduring discussion, despite a complete lack of documentation about it. Anarchitecture has become a foundational myth, but one that remains to be properly understood. Stemming from a series of meetings organized by Gordon Matta-Clark and refl ecting his long-standing interest in architecture, the Anarchitecture exhibition was conceived as an anonymous group statement in photographs about the intersection of art and building. But did it actually happen? It exists only through oblique archival traces and the memories of the participants. Cutting Matta-Clark investigates the Anarchitecture group as a kind of collective research seminar, through extensive interviews with the protagonists and a dossier of all the available evidence. The dossier includes a collection of Matta-Clark's aphoristic "art cards," the 96 photographs that were produced by the various participants for possible inclusion in the exhibition, and images from a recently unearthed video of Matta-Clark's now famous bus trip to see Splitting in Englewood, New Jersey.

Urban Retreat Apothecary Chest
Although this piece function in many, many rooms; I like the idea of using this next to a large bed. Change up your ideas about bedside furniture. The large table top area allows room for a lamp, phone, books, glasses, etc. The drawers add interest, but also can be used for storage. Love the black finish. Also great piece in an entry way.
Ultimate comfort meets clean styling in the Mac Motion modern leather recliner. Available in both ivory and black. Features 360 swivel and angle adjustment.

2011 Nissan Altima Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Bought this at the end of 2010 in order to take advantage of the federal tax write off as well as the Nissan incentives.
Financially, it was a great deal as we achieved a savings of $10k.
Plus, I love these cars.
The last time I bought a brand new car was my 1992 Nissan Altima which was incredibly reliable and fun to drive.
I have driven numerous other cars since then, but getting this one was like getting "back in the saddle" so to speak.
Love my car!

I have been a photographer for many years. For so long, in fact, that I can no longer imagine my life without a camera to capture its special moments. It took me quite some time before I was able to connect myself to being an artist, because in my mind a photographer and an artist were two distinctly different things. While they were both creative, they used entirely different processes to achieve their artistic goals. Over time, however, I have recognized the remarkable similarities in the way that we look at visual elements such as composition, colors, lines, and light. I have come to understand that what constitutes fine art stands apart from whatever techniques that we artists use to ultimately reach that special place. My...

'Bride and Prejudice' star Carey Mulligan has bagged the coveted role of Daisy Buchanan in a Hollywood remake of 'The Great Gatsby' amid a stiff competition from other actresses.
The adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald"s novel attracted the attention of Hollywood"s top actresses, including Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Rebecca Hall.
But Director Baz Luhrmann laid his eyes Mulligan because her audition was perfect.
"Regarding the role of Daisy Buchanan, I was privileged to explore the character with some of the world"s most talented actresses, each one bringing their own particular interpretation, all of which were legitimate and exciting," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
"However, specific to this particular production of 'The Great Gatsby', I was thrilled to pick up the phone an hour ago to the young Oscar-nominated British actress Carey Mulligan and say to her, "Hello, Daisy Buchanan"," he added.
The actress was so thrilled after hearing the news that she reportedly burst into tears on the red carpet while attending the New York fashion gala.
Mulligan is hot property in Hollywood following her Oscar-nominated performance in 'An Education'.
She appeared in the Wall Street sequel and has been tipped for a second Oscar nomination next year with 'Never Let Me Go'.
Leonardo DiCaprio is in negotiations for the role of Jay Gatsby, the Long Island millionaire whose rise and fall mirrors the decadence and Great Depression of the 1920s while Tobey Maguire will play Nick Carraway, narrator of the novel.

FirstCity Financial Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2010 Results
Results of discontinued operations for Q4 2010:
The Company's discontinued operations, consisting of its consolidated coal mine subsidiary, reported a $0.3 million net loss in Q4 2010 (comprised of $13.9 million in operating revenues and $14.2 million in operating costs and expenses). The Company did not recognize any consolidated revenues, costs or expenses from its coal mine operation in Q4 2009 (the Company consolidated its investment in the coal mine operation in April 2010).
Fiscal year ending December 31, 2010
The Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 produced net earnings of $12.5 million or $1.23 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $18.7 million or $1.83 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in earnings for 2010 compared to 2009 was driven primarily by the following: (1) a $7.9 million decline in income accretion from consolidated loan portfolio assets in 2010; (2) $6.2 million of additional net impairment provisions recorded by the Company in 2010 compared to 2009; (3) a $7.9 million increase in noncontrolling interest expense in 2010; and (4) $6.1 million of lawsuit settlement income recognized in 2009 (compared to $-0- in 2010). These factors that decreased earnings in 2010 compared to 2009 were off-set partially by the following: (1) a $14.9 million increase in equity earnings from unconsolidated subsidiaries in 2010; (2) $2.3 million of additional business combination gains recognized in 2010 compared to 2009; (3) a $3.3 million gain recognized in 2010 from the sale of an investment security; and (4) $4.0 million of net earnings from our consolidated coal mine operation (reported as discontinued operations). Additional information related to these factors is discussed below.
During 2010, FirstCity and its investment partners jointly acquired $225.8 million of domestic portfolio assets with a face value of $420.4 million - of which FirstCity's investment acquisition share was $67.7 million. FirstCity's non-portfolio investments in 2010 included $20.6 million of SBA loan advances and originations; $13.2 million of equity and debt investments in privately-held middle-market companies; $15.3 million of equity investments in foreign partnerships and other investments; and $6.9 million of equity investments in domestic partnerships and other investments.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Try different types of plants. A plant that thrives in one location may wither and die in another. It takes time and the acceptance of some failure to learn what will work at your home.

Having grown up with a family vegetable garden, Laura felt disconnected with nature living in New York City. While in law school, she moved into an apartment in which she had access to the rooftop (bingo!) and just like that it all began. Here, Laura tells us firsthand how her love affair with nature flourished on her Manhattan rooftop.
"I decided I would start a roof garden to regain that connection with nature. In the midst of finals, I searched around Manhattan for plants, seeds, potting soil, and containers. A friendly gardener on an internet forum offered me his extra tomato seedlings. I gave him fresh baked cookies in return.
My first season growing was a struggle and learning experience. I was far too ambitious with the number of plants I was trying to grow, and my containers were far too small and insufficiently watered. Since then, my methods and the garden have changed a great deal. Additionally, I have increased my focus on growing fruits and vegetables, as the satisfaction I experienced from the success of growing and eating those first tomatoes made me think about all of the produce I eat. I don't yet grow all of my food, but even the amount that I do is very satisfying. I get the benefits of being connected to nature, discovering new vegetables I had not thought to eat before, seeing how vegetables grow over time and learning their seasons, eating locally to reduce my environmental footprint, and eating the fruits of my own labor."

Sensational Scenes on the Menu this Weekend at CIM, April 11-13
April 8, 2014
Each spring, the CIM Opera Theater serves up a fresh selection of Sensational Scenes from Operas Grand and Light. For this third and final production in our 2013-14 opera series – running Friday, April 11 through Sunday, April 13 – artistic director David Bamberger has cooked up a delectable program with something for everyone!
This year's scenes are filled with international flavor, coming from works set all around the globe – from Italy to Japan, Spain to Maine – and spanning the centuries. Regardless, many of their themes remain universal and timeless: love and loss, death and despair, hope and happiness.
Bamberger whets the audience's appetite with a dash of comedy, courtesy of Mozart's effervescent comedy The Marriage of Figaro, before launching into dramatic pieces from works that include Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose) and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.
A connoisseur of the operatic arts, Bamberger has been careful to balance the heavy performances with lighter fare by including songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, Bizet's Carmen and Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann. He concludes this program with "You'll Never Walk Alone," an uplifting tune from the previously mentioned Carousel and the "icing on the cake."
Dual cast, as are all CIM Opera Theater productions to allow our opera students plenty of opportunities to participate as well as giving the vocalists time to rest their "instruments" between performances, our Sensational Scenes singers are accompanied on piano by musical director John Simmons.
Unlike CIM's two fully staged and costumed operas in fall and winter, the scenes production offers a matinee performance – enabling patrons eager to introduce younger children to opera a chance to do so without disrupting bedtime schedules. In fact, if you join us for the 3pm performance on April 13, you should be home in time for Sunday dinner!
General admission tickets are $20 with discounts available for students, seniors and groups of 10 or more. For more information, visit the Sensational Scenes page on cim.edu.
To purchase tickets, visit or call the CIM Box Office at 216.795.3211, weekdays from 10am-3pm. Same day tickets on Saturday and Sunday can be purchase in person at the box office beginning one hour before each performance's start time.

Feline like taking a walk?
It takes a lot of training and a lot of patience, but many owners say their cats enjoy the payoff
LOS ANGELES -- Karen Nichols wanted a life unchained to the monotony of twice-daily dog walks, so she got herself three cats. But she still strolls the neighbourhood on nice days -- with her cat Skeezix.
Nichols took part in a program recently that encouraged finding ways to bring out the wild nature in her cat. Some cat behaviour problems stem from boredom, which can be stymied by enriching their environment and involving them in activities, experts told the class.
So Nichols started training Skeezix to walk with a leash before he was a year old. It took a couple of weeks to get him used to a leash and a stroller. (Skeezix goes into the stroller when a dog approaches.)
"You must be patient and devote time to the training every day, but if it's apparent after a week or so that your cat detests it, you need to give it up," said Nichols, who lives in Castro Valley near San Francisco and is the managing editor of Mousebreath Media and mousebreath.com, an online cat lifestyle magazine.
The United States is home to more than 74 million pet cats, according to the American Pet Products Association. (In Canada, it is estimated that there are about 7.9 million cats.) Although the overwhelming majority of domestic cats likely have never been on a leash, every cat should be comfortable on a leash, in a carrier and travelling in a car, Nichols said.
Training a cat involves patience, repetition and food or treats while getting it used to wearing a snug harness, being leashed and walking. The Humane Society of the United States and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have instructions on their websites.
Whether a cat is ready for a walk depends on its personality. Friendly, curious, mellow and confident cats are good candidates, while scaredy-cats are usually indoor lurkers and prefer to stay that way, said Nancy Peterson, the humane society's cat programs manager and a registered veterinarian technician.
Disabled cats, including ones that are declawed, deaf or blind, should not be walked, because if they get loose, they cannot defend themselves, she added.
Unlike dogs, cats should be kept on a tight leash. With a longer lead -- anything more than two metres -- a frightened cat might shimmy under a car, jump over a fence or dive around a corner.
"You always want your cat in sight and within grabbing distance," Peterson said.
When Peterson and her four cats moved from San Diego to Washington 15 years ago, she could only take two of them to put under the airplane seat. Friends went ahead of her with the other two. They warned her she'd have to take the cats out of their carriers to get through security.
"I had harnesses on both cats and two leashes with me," she said, but she still demanded a closed room before she opened the carriers.
Jane Kelley, a cat owner in Portland, Maine, said she gave her cat Siouxsie leash training because she wanted to see if the cat would be interested.
"I was surprised to find out that she was actually pretty into it," said the webmaster for the cat blog Paws-and-Effect.com.
She cautioned, however, that a cat walk might not be for every feline: "If your cat is shy, I'd recommend against traumatizing her by forcing her to do something that scares her."
Cat-walkers should watch out for poisonous plants, chemicals and insecticides and protect their feline charges against fleas, ticks, heartworm and other parasites, Peterson said. Winter walks mean looking out for antifreeze or salt products on the ground, while owners of white cats should be mindful of skin cancer in excessive summer heat, she said.
Whether or not a cat can go for a walk, teaching it to wear a harness is a good idea, said Lisa-Maria Padilla, whose cat Twyla Mooner won the Cat Fanciers Association first national agility award a few years ago.
"It's not just to go to the vet. It increases the cat's sensory experiences and enriches the cat. It makes it safer when we have company and easier to get the cat in case of emergency. The cat becomes more portable," said the cat trainer from Reston, Va.
Every cat she breeds is trained to wear a harness, she said.
Ultimately, though, the decision to walk a cat is up to the owner. Peterson, who trained three of her cats to walk with leashes, said she no longer takes out the one cat who liked the walks.
"Toby enjoyed it but I didn't feel it improved the quality of his life," she said.
So she has resumed her couch potato ways, and Toby and her other cats get their exercise chasing the toy wand she waves as she watches TV or reads a book.

Russ Ackoff on An Idealized Design for a University
By Skip Walter
In 1986, while managing Digital Equipment Corporation's ALL-IN-1 $1B per year office automation development efforts, a colleague sent me a copy of Russ Ackoff's Creating the Corporate Future (1981). To paraphrase Russ's famous introductory lectures on how he came across the process he turned into his Idealized Design methodology through his work with Bell Labs (the story is an introduction to his book Idealized Design: How to Dissolve Tomorrow's Crisis …Today), I really wished she had not sent me the book as I spent most of the next year interacting with Russ and his team at the Wharton School instead of doing what I was supposed to do at DEC.
After reading the book and a previous book The SCATT Report: Designing a National Scientific and Technical Communication System (1976), I immediately called Russ and asked if I could visit him to learn more about his methods and his way of systems thinking. I shared with him many of the challenges we were facing at Digital Equipment with our rapid growth and with the dramatic impact that the PC revolution and the networking revolution were having on our business. He graciously agreed to meet and the next day I went to Philadelphia to meet him at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

By Rejecting the Status Quo, Russ Ackoff Took Systems Thinking to Greater Heights
After World WAr II, the U.S. War Production Board sought to preserve the scientific knowledge gained during the war support efforts. Major advances expanded theoretical knowledge, such as the development of the discipline of operations research. Practical advances of knowledge resulted from the intense manufacturing efforts, such as the application of statistical methods in a practice of control for production methods. But somehow, theory and practice diverged—and today we are worse off because of it.
That was the lifetime message of Russ Ackoff, who died [October 2009]. He was a man who had one foot firmly planted in mathematical-analytical disciplines and the other in humanistic-participatory teamwork. His life story is instructive for quality professionals as it traces the development of systems thinking during its 60-year migration.

… No matter how disparate the causes of failure, there is always a common thread: somewhere, somehow, management has let its attention slip. …[Now] is an opportune time to reflect on the leading ideas that have shaped what we know about the management of social systems, particularly corporations, and how to stabilize and improve them.
