IN AMERICA you can usually count on people to stand up for their rights. Oddly, though, the shareholders in American companies are like the disenfranchised citizens of a rotten borough.
Investors in capitalism's heartland have remarkably little sway over managers in the companies they own. Rather than chivvying them to perform better, investors shrug their shoulders, sell up and move on. Disputes between managers and owners are settled not so much by consultation as by litigation.
This week Congress got to work on a bill that would greatly extend shareholder democracy by giving investors a vote over executive pay. That is the area in which shareholders and managers clash most often. Horrified executives maintain that if this power is granted, special interests will use it to advance their pet causes. But the bosses should welcome this reform as being in their own interests. There is much bad feeling in America between managers and shareholders; and the best way to dispel it would be to invite investors in, not to bar the door to them.
Wage war, make peace
Managers' pay has grown at an extraordinary pace since the mid-1980s. Not everyone in the corner office matches Bob Nardelli, Home Depot's former chief, who trousered a few hundred million dollars for six years' work that was about as impressive as one of the store's kitchen units. Still, the typical manager has prospered—and continues to do very nicely indeed (see article).
But the widespread notion that this is the result of corporate misgovernance is wrong. For one thing, pay has risen even as governance has strengthened. American executives are far more tightly controlled, both by government and by shareholders, than they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when bosses' pay was relatively modest. Why did powerful executives back then fail to take advantage of something their weaker successors have so eagerly exploited?
There are simpler explanations for the executives' bonanza. The shareholder-value movement started to reward managers for profits. Shareholders have duly benefited from an era of extremely high returns. Ever larger companies can afford to bid ever more to get the manager they want, because he will leverage even more assets. Chief executives earn a lot, to be sure, but not as much as top lawyers, investment bankers, traders and hedge-fund managers, who have seen their earnings grow faster still. And the successful managers of private-equity-owned companies do better than the bosses of publicly owned companies.
The bill before the House of Representatives' committee on financial services gives shareholders an advisory vote on managers' pay, as well as a vote if executives gain a golden parachute while their company is being sold. But if misgovernance is not the cause of the general rise in executive pay, strengthening corporate governance is surely not the solution.
It is, because the problem is not the general rise in pay but individual cases of abuse. Even if average pay is reasonable, some American bosses get outrageous salaries. That is because pay is complex and boards sometimes make mistakes. A shareholder vote might help avert them—by, for instance, curbing the excessive award of stock options in the bull market (less than 10% of which, incidentally, went to the top executives). It would also ensure that, when mistakes were made, shareholders would not be able to blame the clowns on the board, for they would be implicated too. That helps explain why some companies have already decided to give shareholders the vote.
What about those special interests? Public-sector pension funds do sometimes see executive pay as a political rather than a managerial issue. But the best way to ward them off is to get institutional shareholders involved.
British companies have been required to hold an advisory vote on pay since 2002, and this has helped defuse the hostility between shareholders and managers. Votes against managers are rare because institutional shareholders talk to firms about pay long before any confrontation threatens. American managers should try a bit of democracy too. It is, they will find, marvellous stuff.

Didn't read the books, and was pleasantly surprised by the first movie when I caught it fully by accident. (Hit the wrong button, paid for it, figured I might as well… fortunate accident.) I plan to catch this in the theater, but will wait past opening weekend. Figure it will be around more than a week.

The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad or IIM-A) is a public business school located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It was the second Indian Institute of Management (IIM) to be established, after IIM Calcutta.[8] It is consistently ranked as one of the best business schools in India and the Asia-Pacific region.[9][10]
Established in 1961, the institute offers Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Management and Agri-Business Management, a Doctoral (Fellowship) Programme and a number of Executive Training Programmes.[11] Its programs are accredited by EQUIS.[12]
The Indian Institutes of Management were established in response to the growing need that was felt for nurturing professional managers who could efficiently manage India's growing industries. They were established with the objectives of providing high quality management education and assisting the industry through research and consulting services.[13]
IIM Ahmedabad was the second IIM to be set up in the country. It was established on 11 December 1961 with the active support of the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat and the industry. Eminent physicist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and businessman Kasturbhai Lalbhai, both natives of Ahmedabad, played a pivotal role in setting up the Institute.[14][15] Later on he went on to serve as the Institute's Honorary Director for the first 3 years of its existence.[16] Prominent management educator Ravi J. Matthai and several other Ahmedabad-based industrialists also played a major role in its creation.[17]
The building is a major icon of modernism architecture, designed by American architect Louis Kahn.
Like other IIMs, IIM Ahmedabad currently offers diplomas in management, not degrees. IIMs have not been set up as universities through an act of Parliament but as charitable societies. IIMs lack regular peer-based academic review of their departments/areas, an oversight proposed to be corrected by legislation governing all 13 IIMs after the Ministry of Human Resource Development rejected IIM Bangalore's plans to award degrees.[18] It offers the following full-time academic programmes:[11]
Post-Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management[edit]
The Post-Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management (PGP-ABM) is a two-year fully residential management programme. This programme has been designed specifically to cater to the requirement of management professionals in that sector. From academic year 2015, the institute plans to induct foreign students in its regular two-year PGP course. This is in tune with the institute's global ambition. "The main aim is to get quality foreign students to bring in diversity and also to position the institute as global learning destination for management students," said institute director Ashish Nanda. [19]
The Institute has had many illustrated academicians and public figures as its directors, starting with Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. He was a well known physicist too and often considered the father of Indian space programme.
The current director of the institute is Prof Ashish Nanda. He was chosen for the post for his global experience. He was hired by AM Naik, chairman of Larson and Toubro, who is also the chairman of the board of Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.[20]
In the 1960s the institute's first faculty dismissal took place for plagiarising verbatim an article from a German journal which that faculty member had access to.[21] On 29 June 1992 a student complained to the Director IIM-A that a textbook authored by Institute professors had been simply lifted from three other books. On enquiry a Committee found copying without acknowledgment of the source from least 5 foreign books and some other Indian books.[22] In the 3rd such instance of alleged plagiarism,[23] around 21 March 2012, 5 IIM-A professors were accused of plagiarism a fortnight after the Gujarat High Court had directed a fresh inquiry into earlier plagiarism allegations.[24][25] Two of the professors holding key posts had offered to step down until the enquiry was completed.[26] In July 2012 IIM sources claimed the inquiry report exonerating some of these professors was deliberately withheld (and not formally placed on the Institute records) since three of the four professors who were accused of plagiarism were potential candidates for the director's post and could be considered only after the allegations are found to be baseless.[27] In 2005-06 five students were found to have used the work of others without giving credit. They were caught and made to repeat a year.[23][28]

Student events include Confluence, an international management symposium organised in the month of November,[36] and ConneXion, an annual event organized by the one year Post-Graduate Program in Management for Executives (PGPX) students.[37] Other events include Chaos, an annual culfest, Sangharsh, an inter-IIM sports tournament and Insight, a market research event.[38][39] Its Finance & Investments Club, BETA organises a financial services focused event titled 'Exchequer' which in its 2011 edition saw Nilesh Shah, President of Corporate Banking at Axis Bank speaking with the students. It is also responsible for IIM Ahmedabad's annual flagship publication, 'The Efficient Frontier'.[40][41][42][43]
Confluence is the annual international management symposium hosted by IIM Ahmedabad. This flagship event was started in 1999.[44]
The flagship events at Confluence include Masterplan, the business plan competition; Bizquizzitive, a business quiz event; Mouse Trap, a business simulation event and Corporate Combat, a business strategy simulation event[45] The speaker series at Confluence has seen eminent speakers in the past including Ratan Tata, Vijay Mallya, Mukesh Ambani, Kiran Bedi, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chandrababu Naidu, Rakesh Sharma etc.[46][47]
Chaos is the annual cultural festival of IIMA and one of the biggest in the region.[48] Its yearly editions have been centred on themes like diversity, colour or going green.[48] The cultural festivities draws footfalls of around 50,000 visitors in the four days of revelry and participation from institutes across the country.[49] ProNites are especially a huge success with a large number of top class artists coming and performing on one stage.[48]
In the past, Chaos has witnessed musical performances by Jagjit Singh, Amaan and Ayaan Ali, Shankar Ehsaan Loy to name a few.[49][50] The 2012 edition hosted a variety of events including an online treasure hunt, fashion shows, rock competitions, and contests of dance, drama, fine arts and quizzing.[50]
Insight is the annual Market Research festival of IIMA and is one of the oldest events organised by the institute.[51]Insight is known for its application of innovative marketing research tools.[52]

Britain, Europe's centre for investment funds, is set to lose a clash with France on new, tougher EU rules for the hedge fund industry that finance ministers will haggle over on Tuesday.
Paris leads most EU governments in favouring greater restrictions for alternative investment funds based outside the 27—nation bloc. A lack of transparency and speculative trading have been blamed for contributing to the financial crisis, including Greece's debt troubles.
The new law, when completed, could block foreign funds from Europe if they don't face tight oversight at home. This is aimed at funds based in tax havens like the Cayman Islands where supervisors might not be checking on risks they are taking on.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, wrote to EU officials last week, warning them that the draft rules could also block American funds from selling to European investors.
It is unclear if the rules would actually shut U.S. funds out of Europe.
The new law would likely require managers of large funds doing business in Europe to register with local market regulators and to regularly inform supervisors about their trades and risk exposure to prove they don't pose a threat to the financial system.
They would have to disclose their overall trading strategy, their risk management system and explain how they value and store assets - and be obliged to hold a minimum level of capital to cover potential losses.
Britain is eager to protect its position as the centre of the European fund industry; more than 70 percent of Europe's alternative investment funds are based there.
It says it favours more regulation for fund managers - but does not want to close the market to foreign funds. Officials say they would like all funds operating under global industry rules to access Europe.
It would also like to see funds authorized to sell in Britain or another nation winning a "passport" to sell anywhere in the EU. France and others are reluctant to allow this.
These aren't the only sticking points. France is keen to get support from other EU nations to make depositories - middlemen between investors and funds - liable for losses.
That aims to prevent a repeat of the large losses some French investors made when they placed money with Luxembourg depositories who channelled it into a vast pyramid scheme run by U.S. financier Bernard Madoff.
"It's obvious we need more prudential regulation," said Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg, as he arrived for the meeting. "There's no place for protectionism."
High—risk and high—profile, alternative investment funds have been a popular target of European political ire since some activist funds challenged management at prominent German companies - prompting a German socialist to brand them as "locusts."
Hedge funds were caught up in a vast wave of financial regulation in the aftermath of the financial crisis - with the EU executive rushing out a widely criticized proposal in April 2009 to increase oversight and crack down on financial players operating without much supervision.
The European Parliament must also approve the new law - and the final shape of the new rules is far from final. If the rules are agreed as planned by July, they could be in place for EU funds by 2011 at the soonest and for funds outside the EU by 2014.

Everyone: This thread is left open for commenting and for users to provide relevant advice/updates. However, I ask for everyone to exercise consideration and good judgement when posting.
Also, please fully read this post before running around in circles and submitting articles to Digg.
STAFF: This post was written based on the best information I could find from the linked resources and kernel mailing lists at the time I wrote it. If additional information or factual inaccuracies are discovered as time goes on, feel free to edit this to your liking
Latest updates log at the bottom.
By now a lot of you probably saw the above Slashdot article warning of "bricking" the Intel integrated e1000e network card by using Linux kernels version 2.6.26 and newer (most seen in 2.6.27 series). The cause of this bug is under investigation by RedHat, Novell/SUSE, Ubuntu, the Linux kernel developers, Intel employees, and other involved parties, a fix will not be available until it can be reliably reproduced.
So, the warning is: There may be a possibility that booting the 2.6.27 kernel found in Intrepid and other recent distributions causes your Intel integrated e1000e network card to be unuseable until it is "fixed" by some not well understood process. It is wise to refrain from testing such recent distros if you are not willing to accept this risk.
Myths About Scope
As seen on the bug report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubun...ux/+bug/263555
There seems to be a lot of mass hysteria since this bug has been reported by the popular news sites out there. The bug has been reported on a relatively minor scale (I can count less than 5 reported cases in total on all the mailing lists referenced), so it probably is a "bad luck" scenario rather than a sure guarantee of a broken network card.
Also, there's no evidence that the "Bricking" is permanent yet -- it may or may not be reversible; just at the moment it's not well understood exactly what is wrong with the card given the difficulty of reproducing the bug and the lack of debugging information.
UPDATE: A post to Slashdot reads:
The explanation sounds plausible but I have not personally verified the source (http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.p...5&cid=25119553). If it is correct, that means this problem is the result of another random event (some crashing driver) and isn't necessarily limited to the e1000e cards.I work on the e1000 team (including the e1000e driver) and here is what we know. A panic in another driver (believed to be the gfx driver but uncertain) which scribbles over the NIC/LOM non-volatile memory (NVM). This is only happening with the 2.6.27-rc kernels on ICHx systems. Since the NIC/LOM VNM is part of the whole BIOS image other things in the system could be effected by this driver panic as well. An update of the system BIOS will restore the NIC/LOM to be operational. We have some patches under test right now that we will be releasing later today to protect the NIC/LOM NVM. That should help narrow down who is scribbling over NVM.
What you should do
If you are daring enough to want to help with this bug and have an e1000e card you like to bravely sacrifice to testing this bug, see the comment: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubun...55/comments/22 . This contains a command you can run to "back up" the NVRAM in case this bug happens which will make it easier to reverse. If you don't "back up" this data and become afflicted by the bug, again, it's not clear how easily reversible it will be.
What you shouldn't do:
If this bug bites you, you shouldn't panic and try unapproved fixes. Don't follow random instructions on some wiki or list or download some random utility someone claims works. There is already confirmed information from Intel employees that some of these proposed utilities (IABUTIL.EXE) will permanently brick the card.
Wait for advice from a trusted kernel developer or Intel resource.
You also probably shouldn't break out pitchforks asking for the pulldown of all Ubuntu development releases or claim this affects 80% of the Linux using population.
Testers Beware
As this scenario teaches us, DON'T ASSUME a limited scope of possibilities implied by the cliche'd warning:
Or any of the other testing warnings about prerelease software. Yes, we are in the day and age where hardware is malleable enough for software to damage it beyond repair. No, the scope of risk from testing beta software isn't limited to just loss of data or the need for an OS reinstall.Code:This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
Update 1: Slashdot post added to scope section
Update 2: Thanks to plun (comment #2) for pointing out Intrepid just uploaded a blacklist of the e1000e module. I got confirmation on IRC that this indeed prevents those resources from being mapped into memory and subjected to this random corruption. It also means your e1000e network card will not be usable in Intrepid unless you load this driver explicitly. Also, this change is not in the Intrepid Alpha 6 and below LiveCD's.
Update 3: The e1000e driver is DISABLED on the upcoming Intrepid Beta. Following the beta, all daily CD spins and subsequent releases incorporate a fix for this bug and reenables the driver (safely). There is still no update on how to reverse this problem once you've been bitten, though it seems like that is in the works.

A creditor obtains a judgment against Hocker for $4.4 million, and seeks to levy and execute upon Hocker's shares in the Highland Ditch Company. Hocker owns an undivided 50 percent interest in two and three-quarter shares of Highland stock. The Highland shares represent Hocker's right to use water that runs through a mutually owned ditch, a branch of which leads to a pond on the 35-acre farm that Hocker owns with her husband. Hocker files a claim under the homestead exemption, asserting that the shares, which represent water rights appurtenant to her farm, could not be levied. The court denies Hocker's claim of exemption, and Hocker appeals.

Write a ReviewMinimalist style, sturdy, easy to install, no holes on front of cabinet
By Tamara T. from Cleveland, OH on Jan 22, 2015
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I purchased Top Knobs cabinet hardware for a previous home, and so I already knew that they produce excellent quality products. This time I wanted a very minimalist look, and these pulls are perfect. They install either with the hand pull facing up or down, and install along the edge of the cabinet/drawer, which means no drilling holes into the face of the surface.

because there are not so many individuals able to buy an auto paying cash. As there are too many auto loan lenders on the financial market offeringluxury auto loans
you need to do a good search to find the best deal. You probably know that you can borrowOklahoma auto loan
from various financing sources. Thus, such financial organizations as banks and credit unions offerluxury auto loans
to people wishing to acquire a car. You can also availOnyx auto loan
from a car dealer that is selling you a new car. No matter what you choose you should always look for the lower interest rates when selectingOklahoma auto loan
lender. Choosing lower percentage rates you will make smaller monthly payments onluxury auto loans
and will be able to repay the loan even sooner. Mind that someOnyx auto loan
providers may have additional charges and prepayments penalties. So examining differentOklahoma auto loan
offers you should as well pay attention to these aspects.Looking for
luxury auto loans
you should shop around and identify the most potential auto loan financing. If you are a client of any local bank or a member of a credit union you should contact that organization to find out whether they have any options concerningOklahoma auto loan
that would suit your needs. Most banks and credit unions prefer to deal with their existing clients than with those only seeking a loan. Speaking about car dealers you should be aware of the fact that they tend to charge higher rates of interest as they are not direct auto loan lenders and wish to have some profit to put into their pockets. But in any case you may be offered a good deal withluxury auto loans
by any of these financing sources only you should be critical and choosy, and do not make a deal with the very firstOnyx auto loan
lender.Before you can start the application process for

are on the present day lending market. Knowing the current rates you will be able to choose that auto loan lender that offers the lowest percentage rates forOnyx auto loan
. Be careful with the unknown lender charging rates that are even lower than average. Such lender may have some additional charges and prepayment penalties that will enlarge the overall amount of yourOklahoma auto loan
. So you should deal with such lender offeringluxury auto loans
only in case you managed to check that they are reputable.So looking for

you should know that there are lenders who charge reasonable rates for such loans. Conducting a simple search you will be able to find the best lender offering the lowest rate forluxury auto loans
.The regularity of failures and fiscal smashes among people with several unredeemed loans is severely high. Picking up diverse credits might play in your hands merely if you handle them efficiently with debt consolidation transformation. Secured consolidation programs are the most asked-for amongst customers and in case you've got certain belongings filed on your name, it's surely your best choice. The assets in the form of movable and unmovable property that are laid as pledge will serve the acknowledgment of your credit solvency. Unsecured debt consolidation plans are intended at persons who do not have any possessions and cannot secure their pay-off in any way. The rate of venture you incite on such conditions is quite big and that's why, you should wait for the rise of interest percentage and of monthly installments.

The BlogClinton Reinvents Israel5:43 PM, Sep 22, 2011
• By ELLIOTT ABRAMS
That "deal" was adopted at an Arab League summit attended by only 10 of the 22 Arab leaders of the day, and among those not in attendance were the king of Jordan, the president of Egypt, and Yasser Arafat—suggesting that support for this proposal may have been quite limited. Moreover, it was a take-it-or-leave-it offer, never proffered as a basis for negotiation. This "heck of a deal" required "Complete withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories, including the Syrian Golan Heights, to the 4 June 1967 line and the territories still occupied in southern Lebanon." In other words, go back to the indefensible 1967 borders, give up every settlement bloc, and give up every square foot of Jerusalem, including the Western Wall. Not quite as "huge" an offer as President Clinton recalls. "The two great tragedies in modern Middle Eastern politics, which make you wonder if God wants Middle East peace or not, were Rabin's assassination and Sharon's stroke," Clinton said. I can think of some others: The fact that a terrorist and thief, Yasser Arafat, led the Palestinian people for decades; the fact that he turned down Israeli peace offers at Camp David; the fact that the Palestinians turned down Ehud Olmert's even more generous peace offers in 2008; the fact that thousands of Israelis were wounded or killed in the first and second intifadas; the fact that no Palestinian leader has ever spoken with candor to the Palestinian people about the compromises they will need to make in any peace agreement; the fact that for the last two and half years the Palestinian leadership has adamantly refused to come to the negotiating table. In his Knesset speech, Netanyahu had a far clearer view than Clinton of the real tragedy: "The Palestinians regard this day, the foundation of the state of Israel, their nakba, their catastrophe. But their catastrophe was that they did not have a leadership that was willing to reach a true historic compromise between the Palestinian people and the Jewish people." It is sad that President Clinton cannot seem to grasp this elementary fact. Recent Blog PostsThe Weekly Standard ArchivesBrowse 19 Years of the Weekly Standard |

Terry calls for Hiddink to stay
12 Apr 2009 - 12:02:27
Captain John Terry has urged the Chelsea hierarchy to ensure Guus Hiddink stays at Stamford Bridge after drawing a line under the Jose Mourinho era.
Hiddink is only in charge of the Blues until the end of the season when he will return to his other role as head coach of the Russia national side.
The Dutch coach agreed to take the reins following a call from friend and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in February after the departure of Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Hiddink has kept the Blues in the hunt for a Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup treble and Terry believes the club has finally emerged from the shadow created by the departure of former boss Mourinho in 2007.
Speaking about Hiddink, Terry told The Observer: "Things have gone very well and I'm sure there will be talks ongoing. If we keep progressing there's only going to be one option.
"He's done brilliantly. He's on at us every day in training and he doesn't let anyone get away with anything."
Regarding Mourinho, Terry added: "Listen, Jose was a great manager and had some great times here. But it's someone else's turn now to kick on.
"Mourinho is a world-class manager, a lot of the players are still in contact with him. But we need stability at the club now.
"The manager's done brilliantly and got us playing freely. But it's down to the board to make those decisions."

As I can say, this product is great. I have a good time playing around with the colors. It is so great that when I mix the color I can used it to do anything, to conceal blemishes, to contour my face, to cover dark circles,... everything is covered up with this concealer. It also lasts me for a long time for I don't really need a lot of concealing. Love it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First of all, after about half a year of usage, the glass lid actually popped off. I have to stick it back every time I use it; flimsy pakaging. However, I give the packaging a 3 because it's relatively compact (if you use all the colors) and I do enjoy the little descriptions on the bottom that tell you what each color is for.
It's really expensive. In theory it doesn't sound bad; you get five concealers for the price of a very expensive one. But the cost is way too expensive because...
...I only use one color on a daily basis, and that's the medium (yellow beige) one. It does blend into my skin *wonderfully*.
The contouring (brown) color looks like dirt on my face, the lilac looks stark white on my skin and doesn't blend in at all, and the ivory I can get away with only during winter when my skin is lighter. The green one kind of works, but even more than the slightest bit will make my red spots look whitish pink instead of my natural yellow-toned skin. It's way too heavy and far too pigmented; it would work much better if it was more sheer.
That said, I've been using this for a year and I've used less than half of the medium color. It is a LOT of product. Still, what use do I have with three colors I don't touch and one color I only use very very sparsely (ivory).
If Lise Watier made individual concealers using this formula (it's dry-creamy, if that makes sense. Point is, it really sticks to your skin and blends in flawlessly with a little effort), it would be a much more worthwhile product. Moreoever, my skin tone is different than everyone else's, so I'm sure the yellow beige color won't blend in well with everyone.
Bottom line: don't buy this concealer unless you're sure you can blend everything, or at least most, of the color into your skin. There are a lot more concealers out there that are cheaper and work better.
This is a really good concealer because of all the colors. I use the 2 darkest colors plus the green when I have spots. I rarely use the light one for undereye circles because I don't have any, and the color is too light for me anyway.
I recently went to the only shop that sells Lise Watier in the Philippines and they said it's discontinued already!! Is it true?
well jst adding to everybody's comments on the dryness,yess it does dry and at times ive noticed its caused my under eye lines to be more obvious but the coverage this concealer gives is amazin ,so inroder to make this work i "heat" up the palette a bit with the use of a hairdryer and then apply it with ofcourse proper moisturisin in place
Lately I have developed dark circles under my eyes. I have a yellow skin-tone, so my dark circles are more of a bluish hue. Lise Watier's Portfolio has a salmon color that works really well to cover this up. Check out my blog for more info.
Geneys :o)
This palette is amazing! For my really dark under-eye circles, I use the yellow beige and ivory together. It is a little dry, especially in my inner parts underneath my eyes, but I use an eye cream, Bobbi Brown corrector and a light hand near the inner parts. The eye cream and corrector are super creamy so it helps absorb some of the concealer dryness. The lilac is great for highlighting, especially on the browbone and cheekbone. I haven't used the green much because I haven't gotten any pimples lately, and I rarely use the brown because contouring is still kind of foreign to me :P I purchased this on sale at my local SDM for $22 (tax not included, reg price $29) because apparently my local store doesn't carry Lise Watier.. but they have the portfolio so they're trying to clear it out. I would most likely repurchase this if I ever run out of it, but that won't be for a while because you get a lot of product for the price you pay!
It works for many people, but not me. I live in an area where the climate is cold. The concealer hardens up so application is not smooth. For me, the coverage was average and faded within a few hours (even with finishing powder on top of it). I was really disappointed!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been on the search for a good concealer for years, and this is my last stop, I think.
I love this concealer palette. It covers up everything I need it to cover up, the green is PERFECT for muting any red marks or blemishes.
I saw complaints that it's too cakey or dry, and it's true. It is dryer than what I think most of us are used to, but this is exactly why I think it works so well -- it sticks. I was surprised at the dryness when I received it in the mail, but decided to play around with it a little and I'm so very glad I did.
My main issue w/concealers in the past was that they were runny. They were nothing more than a slightly thicker form of foundation, and I had to layer and layer and blend and blend in an attempt to cover my dark circles, to no avail.
With this, I load up my brush w/more than I think I need, carefully apply in the areas I want to cover up, and then gently blend away with my fingers and voila: perfect, no undereye circles, no broken capillaries around my nose, any stray blemishes are gone.
The lilac highlighter and the tan for contouring are just icing on the cake for me.
I can't say enough good things about this palette. It takes a little bit of work to figure out how to use it right (again, because I think we're all used to a more creamy/liquid form of concealer), but once you do it the results are amazing.
10 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i saw many positive comments on this product, so i bought it. there are 5 colors, but i am only using 2 colors, the lavender and green concealer. these two colors works great on my acne scars and red spots. i found this product is very dry! i used the ivory concealer under my eyes on my black circles, but it was very dry and looked chalky! i applied some eye cream and tried again, still didn't turn out to be very good... other two colors are way too dark for my skin tone. i guess these two dark colors are good for contouring, but i think they are way to dry to blend!
I really like this stuff....but you must mositurize well and use a concealer brush to apply or it can look to cakey. The lilac adds a nice radiant glow to the face if used in a triangle from the tear duct to the end of the nostril and then outward....with foundation on top it blends great, w/o foundation it does look chalky. The concealer colour is too light for me but again i make it work-lol. Im a NC37 btw...i mix the lighter concealer colour with the darker one and it works great. All in all a great product that is worth the money-you just have to play around with it first:)
Edit: I have been using this now for a month, and not as pleased as I was in the beginnning. It's okay, not sure if I would repurchase it again. It can look cakey if you don't moisturise beforehand.

YO Info™ is the American Academy of Ophthalmology's newsletter for young ophthalmologists (YOs) — those in training as well as in their first few years in practice.
This newsletter provides YOs with information about practice management, coding and insurance questions, balancing work and family, and many other issues relevant to YOs. You'll also learn more about resources and services that are already available to you from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives (AAOE).
Coding E&M Documentation Requirements: A Look at 'Review of Systems' Ophthalmologists are more likely to be audited on exam documentation than on tests or surgical procedures. It is therefore imperative that documentation meets the payer requirements each time an exam code is billed. It's also necessary for both risk management and coding compliance. Ophthalmology practices can use both E&M and Eye codes, but each has its own documentation requirements. This month, YO Info will focus on one piece of the E&M puzzle — the review of systems.
Practice Management 5 Tips for Avoiding OSHA and HIPAA Hypertension Two areas of the practice that sometimes fail to get the attention and training required are OSHA and HIPAA. These federal regulations require annual staff training, and staff must constantly be aware of the dangers that exist if they are not purposeful and careful in their actions and words. Here are five tips to effectively train employees and monitor activity within your practice.
Feature Is Solo Practice for You? Starting a solo ophthalmology practice can be intimidating even in the healthiest of economies — especially for young ophthalmologists. But while private practice might be daunting, it's an option ophthalmologists continue to choose. If you have the skills of an entrepreneur and the willingness to devote 100 percent of your time and effort into the investment, solo practice could be for you. This month, YO Info talks with several experts about how to take the leap and practice ophthalmology as a small business person.
Advocacy Studying Won't Protect Us: A Resident's Lessons from Mid-Year Forum I turned my phone back on after the OKAP exam to unexpected good news: I'd won the New York Clinical Grand Rounds contest and would be sponsored by the New York State Ophthalmological Society to attend the Academy's Mid-Year Forum as an Advocacy Ambassador. The rest of that weekend, I celebrated winning the award. But now, after my trip, I realize the real prize was the experience I gained through participating in this extraordinary event.
Clinical Pearl When to Say No to Elective Surgery Whether considering cataract extraction, blepharoplasty or an epiretinal membrane peel, many of the surgeries that ophthalmologists perform can be classified as elective. As surgeons, it is our responsibility both to provide care to patients and to prevent bad outcomes by avoiding procedures on patients determined to be poor surgical candidates. Here are a few considerations ophthalmologists need to address to ensure the best possible outcome, especially when a procedure is elective.

Roses Are Red
Part of a series on Valentine's Day. [View Related Entries]
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Roses are Red… refer to a variety of short poems featuring rhyme verses that begin with the lines "Roses are red, violets are blue." While the original poem was used to convey messages of love, many of its derivative versions nullify its sentimental value through subversion, parody and anti-humor.
The first two lines "Roses are red, violets are blue" were inspired by Edmund Spenser's 16th century epic poem The Faerie Queene[1], in a section describing a man viewing a fairy woman bathing herself on a summer's day.
But wondrously they were begot, and bred.
Through influence of th'heauens fruitfull ray,
As it in antique bookes is mentioned.
It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
When Titan faire his beames did display,
In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay;
She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew.
In the late 18th century, another Roses are Red rhyme was published in the nursery rhyme collection Gammer Gurton's Garland[2], titled "The Valentine."
The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love, and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast, and then I drew,
And fortune said it should be you.
Furthermore, Victor Hugo used a similar styling in a song sung by Fantine in his 1862 novel Les Misérables[3], while the character was reminiscing about a lullaby she used to sing to her daughter Cosette.
We will buy very pretty things
A-walking through the faubourgs.
Violets are blue, roses are red,
Violets are blue, I love my loves.
In 1988, American Children's Folklore[4] compiled 14 derivatives of the original rhyme, both with positive and negative connotations. Other variants[5] have appeared in a number of television shows, songs, books, films and video games including Kurt Vonnegut's 1973 novel Breakfast of Champions[6], Bob Dylan's 1989 song "Where Teardrops Fall"[7] and the 1991 comedy film What About Bob?.
On October 12, 2006, user E started a thread on Yahoo Answers[10] asking, "Got any funny roses are red, violets are blue poems?" On July 21st, 2012, Reddit user (since deleted) started a thread on /r/AskReddit asking users to, "Give me your best "Roses are red" poem."[9] As of February 2014, the thread has over 900 comments. On Tumblr they are often incorporated into Valentine's Day e-cards.

Which one do you prefer?
Here's some old highlights from the old DLH:
Old Hotel
Activities / Restaurants:
- Remote control boats
* Fantasy Waters Show
* Atari Adventure - underwater arcade in the marina
* Shipyard Inn - seafood restaurant
* Via Verde - my favorite italian restaurant in new Goofy's Kitchen location
- Goofy's Kitchen - smaller version @ monorail station
* Neon Cactus Bar - cheesy play area for the adults
* Wharf Bar - actually overlooking the marina
* Sierra Pool - unthemed hotel pool
* Monorail Cafe - great breakfasts / milkshakes themed post-war era 50's
- Team Mickey's workout
- Grandvilles steakhouse
* - replaced or removed
For me, I miss the old hotel layout. Although I like the way the Neverland Pool looks, it was a high price to pay to rip out the old Marina. I'll always remember running the walkway into the Atari Adventure to play video games. It seemed like the A/C never worked during the summer. The temp inside was always 90+ degrees but it didn't matter to me.
As an adult, I will always have memories bringing my girlfriend (currently my wife) to have drinks on the old Wharf Bar listening to some cheesy band playing while waiting for a table at Via Verde's. On the way back to the monorail, we used to always peek in the Neon Cactus Bar only to see some drunk tourist trying to dance like his kids.
Everything changes. Sometimes you just want to go back for a day or two...

Nationals Jordan Zimmermann NL Player of the Week
Posted By James Williams On June 9, 2014 @ 3:49 PM In 1040 Sports,1080 Sports,main feature | No Comments
Washington Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann today was named the National League Player of the Week. Major League Baseball made the announcement this afternoon on MLB Network.
Zimmermann, 28, opened the month of June with 17 consecutive scoreless innings as he pitched back-to-back gems over the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres.
In earning his first NL Player of the Week honors, Zimmermann went 2-0, allowed just seven hits, walked one and struck out 16. He held opposing batters to a .121 batting average and 71 percent of the 216 pitches he threw were strikes. Both of his starts turned into shutouts for the Nationals.
Tuesday, against the Phillies, Zimmermann spun 8.0 scoreless innings on just 102 pitches, and scattered five hits. He walked one, struck out four and earned his fourth win of the season.
Zimmermann's encore, however, was one of the best-pitched games in Nationals (2005-present) history.
Sunday afternoon at Petco Park, Zimmermann carried a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with a two-hit shutout in the Nationals' 6-0 victory.
In the sixth complete game and third shutout of his career, Zimmermann became only the second starter in Nationals history to strike out at least 12 batters and walk none in a complete game (also John Patterson, Aug. 4, 2005). He needed just 114 pitches to go the distance, and 83 of those pitches went for strikes. Zimmermann joined Patterson and Stephen Strasburg as the only pitchers in Nationals history to strike out at least 12 batters in a game.
According to the Bill James Game Score, one metric for measuring dominant pitching performances, Zimmermann's outing ranked as the best in Nationals (2005-present) history with a score of 95.
Zimmermann, who was named the NL Pitcher of the Month in July 2012, is the seventh Nationals player to win an NL POTW award, and earns the ninth such honor for the organization.
Zimmermann joins 3B Ryan Zimmerman (July 16-22, 2012; Aug. 15-21, 2011; July 30-Aug. 5, 2007), RHP Stephen Strasburg (June 7-13, 2010), OF Josh Willingham (July 27-Aug. 2, 2009), SS Cristian Guzman (Aug. 25-31, 2008), UTIL Willie Harris (July 17-20, 2008), and 1B Nick Johnson (May 31-June 6, 2005) as honorees.
