Leadership, networking CFOs' top skills priorities
PUBLISHED: 09 Feb 2012 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 09 Feb 2012 13:34:40PUBLISHED: 10 Feb 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Feb 2012Shaun Drummond
The skills chief financial officers most want to improve upon are leadership, networking and improving staff performance.
They're least concerned about their investor relations skills, knowledge of technology and confidence, according the CFO Outlook Survey for 2012.
But a host of other skills were close behind, including time management and negotiating.
For their staff, most would like to see better data analysis and interpretation, followed by forecasting, and more initiative.
Again, these were closely followed by a range of other skills such as better time management, and quicker month-end accounts.
Fifty-four per cent had less staff on their finance team now than a year ago, compared with 45 per cent who had more staff.
Twenty-three per cent of respondents say they will add staff to their finance team this year, 12 per cent say they will reduce staff.
When asked what they plan to do with their finance team, most respondents said that they aim to invest in further training, with a small number saying they will be cutting, rather than adding staff.
Just 8 per cent planned to outsource finance roles.

Hey, just wondering, this might be different, but I was playing IN 3.3 since I'm a cheap bastard and don't have enough money to go to HTT, and Ngai Tahu had it's own culture seperate from Maori? Just wondering if this was done for gameplay purposes, seeing as they're the same culture as the rest of us, the only difference being that they have a fair number of hapu and had a lot of territory. I thought if you merged Maori/Ngai Tahu, this could leave space for another culture or something? Although I don't really know how it works >.>
Poland is not yet lost: A narrative AAR for MEIOU v1.3
All these new countries make the game about 7 times slower I think.
I reasoned that every turn, there has to be a check between all nations and this number rises rapidly.
3 nations, 3 checks
4 nations, 6 checks
5 nations, 10 checks
6 nations, 15 checks
7 nations, 21 checks
I used Excel to continue this sequence into 888 (333 vanilla plus 555 wholeworld) and got a really big number.
393828 for 888 nations
55278 for 333 nations
So, if I am correct, in WW mod, a turn takes 7 times longer, assuming the bulk of CPU calculations derive from this process.
Any chance you might release a "light" version WW without all the unnecessary nations, specially the revolting ones?
Agreed, in the "WWM Light" the new NA tribes, alot of Australian tribes, some African colonial nations and some NA colonial nations should be removed. If we remove 300 tags it should be much faster. The European nations are great but no one plays all of these 200 native/colonial tags, no one would miss them very much anyway.
Not to mention all those revolting nations like Moray, Andalucia, etc.
I don't see any point in having caribbean revolting nations if my games never reach that far into late game. It game is too slow, even though I have a fine CPu (intel core 2 duo 2.5ghz). Plus, with HTTT, there is a very serious lack of CB's late in game.
Those nations are important, as they are actually used and often appear in game. Moray has cores on the Gaelic provinces and is the only Gaelic culture country that appears in the beginning of the game. Andalucia is the catholic andalusia, instead of the heathens in Granada.
Something will definitely be done, but I'm not inclined to remove countries because they "appear too late in the game". Some people play longer games than others, or start at different dates.

Does it mean that all tags slow the game even if they are not present at the moment? If that's the case, sounds like something that should be optimized in the core game, not in the mod.
But I don't understand why a nation that does not exist at the moment should take CPU time. I thougt that the game only used those non existing nations for revolting patriots, releasing nations and things like that.
You should leave the America, Africa, and some Pacific Ocean Natives.. But get rid of a lot of the Japanese ones and some revolter nations... Like I don't think the ones in Spain or the British Isles are important... Every province capable of revolting? Also you should get rid of the ones that inhabit all of those islands in the Pacific, or atleast make them in a seperate thing for people to download.
Actually it will be the native nations that will be the first to go in a lite version of WWM because I added a shitload of them in order to try and better portray their great diversity. As for the Pacific island nations, I designed it to show the history of the Tu'i Tongan empire that existed for a long time in the pacific; therefore Tu'i Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Rapanui, and Hawai'i are all needed (the others not so much) to remain in order for this to work. I will also be adding a separate techgroup for them in order for them to get shipbuilding back.
Hi Haftetavenscrap!
First of all, thanks very much for the mod. I tend to go for world conquest, so all those extra provinces are welcome.
I just downloaded HTTT and version 4 of the mod. Seems to work great.
I have two minor issues, though.
1. Current map textures are not a winner for me. It's kinda hard to read the names because of the mountains and trees, and I just don't like the block colors.
Any chance we can get the original HTTT textures with the WWM? They're a lot clearer IMHO.
2. The Spanish province named "Andalucia" should really be "Seville". Andalucia (Al Andalus) is the combination of Spain's southern provinces (Seville, Jaen, Cordoba, Granada and so forth), but no single province is called Andalucia.

Hey thanks! A lot better now.
I still stand by the Seville thingy, though.

Abstract | IEC/TR 62809:2013(E) provides an overview of the requirements and tests of IEC 60601-2-66 in combination with the applicable sections of IEC 60601-1, and the collateral standards of the IEC 60601 series. It is intended to assist various groups involved in the product lifecycles process - like designers and suppliers - to get an overview of the basic requirements without studying all involved standard documents in detail. The table includes not all but just the more common requirements and tests. During the preparation of IEC 60601-2-66, members of the involved technical committee and working group voiced concerns about the complexity of the document and its structure as part of the IEC 60601 series. There was also concern that groups in the hearing instrument community would have problems to understand and apply the standard and that this could be an issue with its acceptability. In order to have a broad consensus for the new standard it was agreed that the standard should be supported by this Technical Report, which should enable members of the community and the industry to have a basic understanding of the requirements of the standard, without the need to study the complete standard document and the documents that are referenced in it. It is crucial to understand that the summary in this document cannot serve as an input for a product requirement specification or as a test plan without consulting the standard document itself. This Technical Report alone cannot be used to establish or assess compliance to the standard. Keywords: hearing instruments, hearing aids, hearing | |||||||||

Bruce slams defending
Sunderland boss Steve Brought was upset with some of his side's defending as they shared four goals with West Ham. The Black Cats came back from 2-0 down to draw - despite the loss of Kenwyne Jones when he was sent off - but Bruce still sees room for improvement. "The two goals we gave away were poor and you get punished in the Premier League. We've got to eradicate that," Bruce said. "We've gifted them two goals and usually in the Premier League that's enough."

It became her passion and her new path, which quickly led to teacher training and opening SOL Yoga to share her love of yoga with a larger community.

My whole life I found myself struggling with what I would be, with what I would do with my life. I felt lost, battled depression and I would find my self in very dark place for most of my younger years. Nothing ever came easy; everything was a challenge except the love that I had for a simple and small activity called Color Guard. Color Guard is a uniformed team that spins flags, interpreting the music played by a marching band. I mastered the art easily, but what I learned was much bigger. Gaining skills and knowledge, I also learned how to express myself through dance, performance and overall, pure movement. Then, I fell into a dark place and started abusing drugs. I made the choice to start somewhere new, away from the trouble I had found. In 2005, I joined The Seattle Cascades Drum... Read the profile >>

Translate this page School districts strike agreement on key issuesThursday, August 29th, 2013 Issue 35, Volume 17.
Dale Mitchell, Ed.D. and Justin Cunningham, Ed.D. jointly released the following information concerning ongoing negotiations since the passage of Proposition B (unification of BUSD), which changes Bonsall from a K-8 district to a K-12. "Bonsall will phase in its high school one grade level at a time, with ninth grade beginning in the 2014-2015 school year," Cunningham and Mitchell stated. "For those students in grades not yet attending the Bonsall High School, a blanket inter-district agreement will be made so those students district of residency will remain in the Fallbrook Union High School District. Therefore, these students will not have to seek inter-district transfers from Bonsall to attend Fallbrook High School. All inter-district transfers currently in place will maintain their current status," they stated. "In order to best serve students, special education services in lieu of some assets owed to Bonsall will be provided to the students at Fallbrook in grades not yet attending the Bonsall High School," stated Mitchell and Cunningham. "The distribution of assets will occur over a four- to five-year period," they stated. 1 comments

Opinion: The Obama administration may find backing for a two-state solution.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has begun what, hopefully, will be a concerted effort on the part of the Obama administration to come to grips with that old horror, the Israel-Palestine problem.
The outgoing Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, a former Likud Party man who changed his mind about a Greater Israel, firmly believes in a two-state solution. The man who stands the best chance of succeeding him, Binyamin Netanyahu, does not. If America is committed to a two-state solution, this is going to make the task of President Obama's special envoy, George Mitchell, difficult to say the least.
Recently, The Economist poised the question "whether Mr. Netanyahu, who was prime minister from 1996 to 1999, is ultimately a pragmatist or at heart still an ideologue of the old school … wedded to the idea of a Greater Israel that would take in the West Bank and stretch down to the Jordan River." In my view he is both: a pragmatic ideologue.
Netanyahu tried hard to bring dovish parties into a ruling coalition, but so far they have said no, mostly on the grounds that Netanyahu won't commit to a two-state solution. This leaves a coalition of hawkish right-wing parties as the most probable outcome.
I remember Netanyahu telling me with some passion, right after the Oslo Accords had been announced in 1993, that giving up territory in the West Bank was the wrong way to go, and that making peace with Syria should be explored instead. But peace with Syria means giving up the Golan Heights, and press accounts of Netanyahu's recent visit to the heights with his son to plant a tree does not bode well for territorial concessions.
Planting a tree has great symbolism in Israel, and it doesn't include giving the tree to Syria.
A pragmatic ideologue is someone who wants to maintain the Israeli occupation of the West Bank without causing a confrontation with the United States. A coalition including the dovish parties would have given Netanyahu cover, because it's easier to drag your feet leading a government of national unity. But barring that, the best way for a pragmatic ideologue to stall is to embrace a peace process and string it out forever. So look for an accommodating Netanyahu who never actually reaches an accommodation.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State Sun Devils unveil new helmet for game against Notre Dame
The Arizona State Sun Devils will be wearing helmets unlike no other when they face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday.
Monday after coach Todd Graham's press conference the team unveiled a short video of the new uniforms and cornerback Osahon Irabor walked out in full uniform.
"We want our players to be the best, first-class in everything that we do," Graham said. "We have a tremendous brand with the fork. If you want to be a champion, you've got to look like a champion first.
"The best recruits are our players. And just like how we travel, where we stay, what we eat, the uniforms we have, when recruits come in our players are going to tell them how that is. We want to be the best in the country and taking care and providing that brand. We think we have an incredible brand with that fork and that Sun Devils. That's what this is all about."
Graham added that the new uniforms are not just for show but rather that they serve as a chance for his players to learn and grow.
"Looking sharp is an important part of being a champion," said Graham. "But it's also an important part of the educational process and teaching our players that if you want to be successful it looks a certain way, it speaks a certain way, it walks a certain way, it plays a certain way and it works a certain way."
The helmets have flames spread throughout. The facemasks are a charcoal color. And each helmet is adorned in the back with a three forks going from left to right.
The most notable thing about the flames design, is that they it will appear slightly different on every helmet Saturday.
"We're really excited to wear these uniforms for the fans and represent Sun Devil nation with character, class and integrity," said Irabor, who was also modeling off black sleeves with maroon and gold flames on both arms.
The Shamrock Series uniforms mark the fifth different jersey-helmet combination the Sun Devils have worn through their first five games in 2013.

Poaching is a low-hassle way to cook fish. Here we've taken a standard poaching base and added shallots, carrots, and potatoes. While some testers liked the fish and vegetables served alone, others preferred having a few ladlefuls of broth, making for a dish that's somewhere between poached fish and a simple fish soup. No matter how you serve it, it'll be quick, easy, and tasty.
This recipe was featured as part of our Post-Holiday Recovery Menu.
- 1Combine water, wine, shallots, potatoes, carrot, salt, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a large, shallow-sided pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low until liquid is at a simmer.
- 2When poaching liquid is barely simmering, add fish in a single layer, making sure it is completely covered with liquid.
- 3Poach until cod flesh is opaque and flakes easily (the internal temperature should be 175ºF) and vegetables are fork tender, about 7 minutes. To serve, place 1 fish fillet in each of 4 bowls, divide vegetables and broth evenly, and garnish with lemon slices and parsley.
Beverage pairing: Christian Moreau Chablis, France. The flavors in this dish are clean, simple, and natural, so the wine should echo these characteristics without getting in the way. Chablis has great acidity and nice pure fruit and mineral flavors to beautifully enhance this comforting dish.

The Dublin Core set of metadata elements provides a small and fundamental group of text elements through which most resources can be described and catalogued. Using only 15 base text fields, a Dublin Core metadata record can describe physical resources such as books, digital materials such as video, sound, image, or text files, and composite media like web pages. Metadata records based on Dublin Core are intended to be used for cross-domain information resource description and have become standard in the fields of library science and computer science. Implementations of Dublin Core typically make use of XML and are Resource Description Framework based. Dublin Core is defined by ISO through ISO Standard 15836, and NISO Standard Z39.85-2007.

I pray that he is extremely difficult to play so that the entire world doesn't master him..or her. Because we all know everyones gonna want to play the dragon champ
The nine tailed fox chick joined the ranks of Urf. (not counting corki since Warwick already ate Urf first)
I hold out hope that her ult won't just be like renek or nasus, 15 seconds of bonus hp and some aoe dmg aura. I think an awesome ult would be something similar to Nidalee's cougar form, only she gains her dragon form for a limited duration(like 20 seconds) and gets to use funky dragon abilities instead of her "non-ulted" qwe....assuming she's a dps hero of some sort.
Man of God2
Its an effing dragon!!!
Junior Member
She's MINE! *-*
I just geeked out ...
Oh god, another monstergirl? **** YOU RIOT A MAN'S WALLET HAS LIMITS!! (Just kidding, I love you forever <3) moar please

GIRL DRAGON IS LAME!!!
Finally Knight Davion has joined the league
When i say this comic, the only thought that went through my head was "awesome." Then a thought struck me. The dragon form will obviously be her ult for a short time, which i hope I'm wrong. We will see what this.. half dragon is about.

I can not recall any player obviously tank a match, but I am reading a book about the men's tour in the 80's and it talks about how tanking was really common back then. I just wondered what matches people have seen on the women's tour that you think a player tanked. The only match I can think of is maybe Hingis losing to Dokic at Wimbledon 1999? Been so long since I saw it I cant remember exactly how it panned out in the second set, but it is possible she just wanted to get off the court especially after the French Open final two weeks before.

The NFL's 'luckiest' teams
Playoff favorites change a bit when you factor luck into the mix; watch out San Fran
Luck isn't just the story of the NFL draft; it's an idea that has essentially hijacked the debate in the NFL. Seriously, what percentage of NFL arguments this season have been centered around not who we know is great -- such as the Green Bay Packers -- but who our eyes tell us is lucky?
Add in a dollop of Tim Tebow, and you get the defining storyline of the NFL season with the success of the Denver Broncos. Think about it: You tell a buddy his favorite team sucks, and you're stating the truth. Tell him his team is lucky, and you set off a 600-reply email war.
This is more prominent because the growth of advanced statistical analysis in football means we don't just know what luck looks like; we think we can see it play out in real time. In Week 7, when Tebow led Denver to a two-score comeback win against the Miami Dolphins with fewer than four minutes to play, we knew as it was happening that he had overcome Miami win odds that were higher than 98 percent. But there are a few problems with simply calling a team "lucky":
1. Lucky teams are usually really good: During the past five years, the NFL's luckiest teams have won 12, 10, 12, 14 and 13 regular-season games, 12.2 a year. And they repeat it. Those teams won an average of 10.8 games the next season. So while luck is an argument, it's also granted to greatness.
2. Great QB play defines it: Those luckiest teams were led by Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton again and Matt Ryan. We know that great quarterback is the antidote to many ailments. Denver's luck is clear due to regularly overcoming long odds, but it's also been a product of a quarterback that has dramatically upgraded performance late in games.
3. You can make your own luck, to an extent: Dominating the turnover battle is an indicator of luck, because it tends to even out in a decent sample size. But what if you consistently get early leads, creatively scheme for quarterback pressure because opposing teams have to throw and can sit back and aggressively target interceptions with a packed secondary? Are Green Bay's ridiculous 29 INTs luck, the residue of design, or situational dominance?
Advanced stats tell us a lot, but they can't dismantle the tape. However, given the playoff picture is largely set, and the 15-game sample size can tell us a fair amount, let's align the current playoff seeds with luck factored in, indicate why a team got lucky and determine what it means.

President Obama Speaks on Immigration in El Paso, Texas
President Obama was on the border on Tuesday afternoon as he flew in from Washington D.C. to El Paso, Texas to deliver a speech on immigration and border policy reform.
The president stated that there are 11 million undocumented immigrants in our country right now, a consequence of what he calls a broken immigration system. He also stated that the border has been secured and now wants employers, who exploit workers, to be held accountable. He says those individuals, living here illegally, must also be held accountable as well by admitting they broke the law, pay their taxes, pay a fine and learn English.

Those poor unfortunate gentlemen who are running for office must be unaware that We, the People expect them to work miracles. We expect them to revive the American Dream.
And what is that, you innocently may ask while watching American Idol? By the way, that spelling should be American Idle, shouldn't it? 'Cause too many of us believe that if we elect the right people "they" can fix everything that some of the other "theys" have managed to screw up!
One pretty obvious answer to some of our problems would be to restore our country's brand name -- Made in America. It seems we've either outsourced or outlawed another American brand -- The Right to Work.
Isn't it sad to consider that in some ways technology and efficiency have hindered rather than helped us? How many farm jobs have we lost here in Walla Walla County because we've figured out how to do it better? Build a bigger machine. Drive it faster.
And who decided it's wrong to let young kids work? Now they're too young, and can't ever learn that wonderful early experience of earning money, running a crew at Klicker's. Now that's labeled child abuse. By the time a kid can legally pick strawberries, she's probably found a better job. So who picks the berries now?
Thirty years ago I asked a friend what happens to factory workers when robots take over so many jobs. His answer, a very casual possibility at that time, "Oh -- they're retrained at a different job." "Oh, good," I thankfully answered. Yes that was a possibility 30 years ago, but you get my drift.
What do the people who used to make the beautiful clothing and jewelry in the catalogues that flood my mailbox do now that "Made in Portugal" and "Made in China" labels seem to be an added exotic attraction.
OK, I know I'm not unearthing new criticisms. I'm just wondering if we're expecting the right people to solve our obvious problems, the ones right under out noses.
Is there a helmet big enough to protect the brain of the poor guy who wins the presidency? Restoring the Made in America label, and being expected to solve all of the rest of the world's problems at the same time is a lot to expect of any man, any political party.
So my question is: How can We, the People, help make our system of government respond to the changes the world keeps throwing at us -- and not just duke it out at the ballot box every four years and then expect a political party to be the magician?

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — The unveiling of 2014 Mr. Amigo happened today in Brownsville.
Actress, singer and model Mariana Seoane was chosen as the Mr. Amigo 2013 honoree.
Officials say they chose Seoane because of her contributions to the community and her prominence as a rising star.
Brownsville will publicy honor Seoane during the Charro Days festivities.
"In this instance, we're gonna have a Miss Friend, and so I'm really excited about that and I love the fact that we're starting off the year with a very positive note and that is the announcement of Mr. Amigo," said Brownsville mayor Tony Martinez.
"I's a little bit unique in the sense that we as a city just give ourselves to that person and when they go back home, they have those memories, they have what it means to become part of our community and that's where we get the...we reap the benefits," said president of the Mr. Amigo Association Luigi Cristiano.
The Charro festivities will begin on February 23.

Rand Paul and the 'Aqua Buddha': why Election 2010 is turning nasty
(Read article summary)What is the 'Aqua Buddha' and why did it turn a Senate debate between Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky into the 'nastiest' of Election 2010'? It's classic attack politics.
John Sommers II/Reuters
In a campaign season that has seen its share of viciousness and name-calling, it's one of the lowest moments. Now the blogosphere is abuzz with the effort to assign blame.
Sunday's debate in Kentucky between Senate candidates Rand Paul and Jack Conway is being dubbed the "nastiest debate of 2010" by Talking Points Memo (which has compiled a video of "highlights"). At the end, Mr. Paul, the Republican candidate, was so angry he refused to shake Mr. Conway's hand. He is considering whether to even participate in the final debate, scheduled for Oct. 25.
The root of the dispute: an alleged incident from Paul's college days. A GQ article published two months ago claims that while a student at Baylor University, Paul was a member of a secret society called the NoZe Brotherhood that existed largely to torment the administration and enjoyed "tweaking the school's religiosity."
In particular, it quotes an anonymous woman who says that Paul and a friend tied her up one afternoon, tried to force her to smoke pot, and then took her to a creek, where they blindfolded her and forced her to bow down and worship "Aqua Buddha."
Needless to say, it's a story that Paul has denied, but Conway has tried to capitalize on it, bringing it up repeatedly during Sunday's debate, and running an ad about the incident.

Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
DENVER -- Michael Cuddyer looked overmatched the first two times he faced Ricky Nolasco. His third at-bat, he got even.
Cuddyer homered after being activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, DJ LeMahieu had two hits and the streaking Rockies beat the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Thursday night.Eric Young Jr. and Josh Rutledge had a hit and an RBI apiece for the Rockies, who won their fourth straight game.Rafael Betancourt tossed a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. Colorado is perfect on this current seven-game homestand after going 1-8 at Coors Field two weeks ago."Winning cures a lot," Cuddyer said.Nolasco pitched his first complete game of the season and seventh overall, and Carlos Lee and Giancarlo Stanton each homered for the Marlins, losers of six of eight.Nolasco (9-12) lost for the sixth time in his past seven starts despite going the distance. He allowed five runs and nine hits, struck out seven, and walked one in eight innings."Overall, Nolasco pitched well," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "We didn't score enough runs."Six of Nolasco's strikeouts came in the first 3 1/3 innings, before the Rockies made an adjustment that helped them rally late."We wanted to get him up in the zone, force him to throw strikes," Young said. "Balls we were swinging at weren't strikes. That's why he was able to go deep into the game."The Rockies got to Nolasco in the sixth. Carlos Gonzalez reached on a one-out bunt single to bring up Cuddyer.Cuddyer had struck out on balls in the dirt in his first two at-bats. This time he crushed Nolasco's 82 mph slider into the left-field seats to erase a 3-1 deficit in the sixth. It was his 16th homer of the season."If you swing at enough of them, he'll hang one," Cuddyer said. "The ones I struck out on were in the dirt. This one wasn't."Colorado then went ahead in the seventh.LeMahieu led off with a single and scored on a triple to right by pinch hitter Rutledge. Young came to the plate guessing manager Jim Tracy would have him lay down a squeeze with the speedy Rutledge on third."I knew walking to the plate that Tracy would probably put it on," Young said. "They say try to think along with the manager. I was all for it. Just kind of go to who hates fielding bunts the most."Young put down a squeeze bunt to Lee up the first-base line to knock in Rutledge and give the Rockies a 5-3 lead."I had (Rutledge) 0-2 and couldn't make a pitch, and you saw what happened," Nolasco said. "You make good pitches all night and then make a couple of mistakes, and that's the game. I left that ball up to Cuddyer. He's such a good hitter. He got the important hit to tie the (game), and things got out of control in the seventh inning."Adam Ottavino (4-1) earned the win in relief of starter Alex White.The Marlins scored first on Lee's leadoff homer in the second inning, his seventh of the season. The Rockies tied it in the bottom half when LeMahieu tripled with two outs and scored on a wild pitch.Miami went back ahead in the fourth when Lee walked, went to third on Greg Dobbs' single and scored on a wild pitch.Stanton made it 3-1 with a leadoff homer off Ottavino in the sixth. It was his 22nd of the season."Ottavino did a tremendous job of settling the waters," Tracy said. "His only mistake was the pitch to Stanton."Game notes
The Rockies optioned Matt McBride to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for Cuddyer on the roster. ... Marlins C Rob Brantly's double in the sixth was his first major league hit. ... Rockies RHP Jhoulys Chacin (pectoral injury) was scheduled to start for Colorado Springs on Thursday and could join the team when it travels to New York on Monday. ... Miami LHP Wade LeBlanc (1-2) will face Colorado's Jeff Francis (4-4) on Friday.

International Law Career Pathways Panel
March 19, 2015, Cherry Room, 4-6 p.m.
Panelists working in a range of public and private international law projects will discuss how they became involved. Students will learn how to maximize their law school experience to be prepared for an international law career. Co-sponsored by the Center for International Law and Policy (CILP) and the Career Services Office.
International lawyers engage in a wide array of activities, from advocacy, litigation, and transactional work, to diplomacy, treaty-drafting, and policy-making. Typical employers include governments, law firms, intergovernmental organizations, and nongovernmental organizations. As the substantive scope of international law expands, there are increasing opportunities to specialize in particular fields, such as International Environmental Law, the Law of the Sea, the Law of State Responsibility, International Human Rights Law, International Humanitarian Law (the Law of Armed Conflict), International Criminal Law (in the broad sense), the Law of International Criminal Prosecution, the Law of International Dispute Settlement, International Economic Law, the Law of Treaties, the Law of the Res Communis (Global Commons), the Law on the Use of Force, the Law of Communications and Transport, the Law of Jurisdiction and Immunities, the Law of International Organizations generally, UN Law, or the Legal Regimes of Regional Intergovernmental Organizations. Further information on these different specialty areas, as well as advice on careers in international law, may be found at http://www.asil.org/career-development.cfm.

finally, we're all settled in as a family of four. i've gotten used to having two kids—two kids who need different things at different times. i've decided it feels good to be needed like i am. i've gotten used to being on my feet most of the day, to nursing a baby while hoisting a toddler onto the potty, to doing most things quickly and with one hand, to grabbing burp cloths off the floor with my toes because i have coffee in one hand and a baby in the other. my body's become okay with five or six hours of sleep every night. sometimes i even look forward to midnight feedings, when the house is still and it's just maddox and me, rocking and nursing in the dark quiet with no one and nothing to interrupt us. now, i don't even remember life with just one kid—and i don't want to. these days can be long and emotionally draining, but they're also very rewarding and, in a way, simple. i wouldn't trade them for anything.
evie helps me change maddy's diapers by fetching wipes and singing songs to him while he's on the changing table. she shows him books, pets his fuzzy little head and hold his fingers and toes gently. she tells me he's sooooo cute, mimicking our friends when they meet him for the first time. i love spending time with just her. i take her to a tumbling class on monday mornings, which is so much fun because she's learning to jump and roll—and she absolutely loves it! she's so excited to play on the trampoline and climb through the fabric tunnel every week, and i'm excited to watch, and to help only when she needs me. when i see her following directions and interacting sweetly with the other kids, i'm the proudest mama in the world.
it's fun spending time with just maddox, too. yesterday we ventured to the grocery store for a "big shop" (growing up, that's what my mom called the trips when the fridge was completely empty; we needed everything). to my surprise, it's much easier taking maddy to the grocery store than it is to take evie! he was perfectly content strapped in the baby carrier, sucking on a pacifier, for the entire hour. he didn't ask to push the cart or eat the cheerios or hold the bagels or watch videos of himself on my iphone. it was the most enjoyable "big shop" i've had in quite some time.
and now, it's time to go! somebody's up from his nap.

Kelty Coromell Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down
? Share a...
Carver Shaw
Warm and a Great Fit
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I purchased this for my dad for Christmas and he loves it. The aspect he loves the most is that he can fit comfortably in this bag. He is 6'5" with wide shoulders so has issues with not fitting in a lot of bags. This bag has ample room and doesn't squeeze his shoulders and actually fits up around his head.
For being such a big bag it is actually pretty light and can be used for backpacking. The zipper on the bag is nice too and keeps from getting snag- it also extends all the way down around the feet, not a 3/4 length zipper which I see a lot.
Very Warm!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just used this for camping in the Sierras. Temps down in the 40's and I had to shed all my layers as I hot. I have always been a cold sleeper. Used a 25degree Kelty synthetic prior and this is way, way warmer. I bought the long version which is prefect for my 6'1" height. Much prefer this over my prev mummy bag for both warmth and space.
Great winter car camping bag
I enjoy camping year round and needed a bag that could keep me warm, but wasn't as confining as a true mummy bag. This bag is semi-rectangular which gives plenty of room to move around, yet still tapers at the bottom which helps with heat retention. The bag has great loft and is so "puffy" you feel like you're sleeping in a cloud. The full length zipper is great because you can vent the footbox if your feet get too warm. This bag kept me plenty warm in temps as low as 30 and have no doubt it would perform at lower temps. The stuff sack that comes with it is actually a stuff/compression sack which is an added bonus. The zip-off hood allows you to customize your bag if the temps aren't too cold...great feature not seen in other bags. Highly recomend this bag for car camping (too bulky/heavy for backpacking).

GTA San Andreas is officially coming to Android, iOS, and Windows Phone next month
Posted By Jeff Belanger On November 28, 2013 @ 7:41 AM In Android,iOS,Windows Phone | No Comments
Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the most successful games in history [2], fun to play, and critically acclaimed, with people already predicting it will take many Game of the Year awards. An earlier version of the franchise, though, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, is coming back and will be available on mobile platforms — Android, Windows Phone, and iOS — next month.
An exact date has not yet been specified and this is the third game in the GTA franchise to come to mobile platforms. Already on them are GTA 3 as well as Vice City. San Andreas was an incredibly fun game for its time, had a very large map, great story and voice acting; featured great acting talent like Samuel Jackson and the late Chris Penn.
It will be great to see it with a fresh coat of paint and it is supposedly compatible with the new iOS 7 game controllers, so those of you who still despise touch-screen controls can have actual physical ones now as well.

Marie writes: The West Coast is currently experiencing a heat wave and I have no air conditioning. That said, and despite it currently being 80F inside my apartment, at least the humidity is low. Although not so low, that I don't have a fan on my desk and big glass of ice tea at the ready. My apartment thankfully faces East and thus enjoys the shade after the sun has crossed the mid-point overhead. And albeit perverse in its irony, it's because it has been so hot lately that I've been in the mood to watch the following film again and which I highly recommend to anyone with taste and a discerning eye.
Marie writes: Recently, we enjoyed some nice weather and inspired by the sunshine, I headed out with a borrowed video camera to shoot some of the nature trails up on Burnaby Mountain, not far from where I live. I invariably tell people "I live near Vancouver" as most know where that is - whereas Burnaby needs explaining. As luck would have it though, I found a great shot taken from the top of Burnaby Mountain, where you can not only see where I live now but even Washington State across the Canadian/US border...

For while it's possible to attach a drawing, it's not the same thing as receiving hand-drawn artwork in the mail. Especially when it's from Edward Gorey..."Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the...", a children's story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey's shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Gorey's drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity. This was the beginning of an invigorating friendship, fueled by a wealth of letters and postcards that sped between the two men through the fall of 1969."

"I realize that most of the turning points in my career were brought about by others. My life has largely happened to me without any conscious plan. I was an indifferent student except at subjects that interested me, and those I followed beyond the classroom, stealing time from others I should have been studying. I was no good at math beyond algebra. I flunked French four times in college. I had no patience for memorization, but I could easily remember words I responded to. In college a chart of my grades resembled a mountain range. My first real newspaper job came when my best friend's father hired me to cover high school sports for the local daily. In college a friend told me I must join him in publishing an alternative weekly and then left it in my hands. That led to the Daily Illini, and that in turn led to the Chicago Sun-Times, where I have worked ever since 1966. I became the movie critic six months later through no premeditation, when the job was offered to me out of a clear blue sky."Visit "I was born inside the movie of my life" to read the opening pages from Roger's forthcoming memoir to be published September 13, 2011.
Marie writes: I love illustrators best in all the world. There's something so alive about the scratch and flow of pen & ink, the original medium of cheeky and subversive wit. And so when club member Sandy Kahn submitted links for famed British illustrator Ronald Searle and in the hopes others might find him interesting too, needless to say, I was quick to pounce; for before Ralph Steadman there was Ronald Searle...

Marie writes: Once upon a time when I was little, I spent an afternoon playing "Winne the Pooh" outside. I took my toys into the backyard and aided by a extraordinary one-of-a-kind custom-built device requiring no batteries (aka: artistic imagination) pretended that I was playing with my pals - Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too - and that there was honey nearby; the bumble bees buzzing in the flowerbeds, only too happy to participate in the illusion. And although it didn't have a door, we too had a tree - very much like the one you see and from which hung a tire. A happy memory that, and which came flooding back upon catching sight of these - the animation backgrounds from the new Winnie the Pooh; thank God I was born when I was. :-)

Ciarán of Saigir, also known as Ciarán mac Luaigne or Saint Kieran, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland and is considered the first saint to have been born in Ireland, although the legend that he preceded Saint Patrick is questionable. Ciarán was bishop of Saighir and remains the patron saint of its successor, the diocese of Ossory. He is identified with the Saint Piran who is venerated in Cornwall, Wales, and Brittany. Ciarán's date of death is uncertain but thought to have been around 530 and from natural causes. His feast day is celebrated on 5 March. He is sometimes called Saint Ciarán the Elder to distinguish him from the other 6th-century Irish Saint Ciarán, who was abbot of Clonmacnoise.
