Disclosure Requirements for Faculty
Recommendations of the Conflicts of Interest and Commitment Committee
Increasing transparency about research and real or apparent conflicts of interest and commitment helps Columbia Business School strengthen its reputation as a center of world-class research and teaching. When faculty members speak, write, or provide testimony, the public should understand their sources of compensation outside the University that might indicate any possible conflict of interest. To this end, this document is intended to clarify Columbia University's disclosure and commitment policies and to strengthen the School's disclosure and commitment policies to ensure public confidence in our research.
Relationships to business organizations and practitioners, when pursued responsibly, are a valuable part of the life of a Columbia Business School faculty member. The School's goal of bridging academic theory and real-world practice underscores the importance of pursuing research that is relevant to business and public policymakers. At the same time, faculty members are expected to be active participants in the life of the University and School, which means they should spend the great bulk of their time on campus with their students and colleagues. Therefore, in addition to external disclosure of outside relationships, it is important for faculty members to provide the Business School with information about the nature and scope of those relationships.
Current University Policies
Columbia Business School faculty members are responsible for complying with all current University policies as outlined in the Faculty Handbook (http://www.columbia.edu/cu/vpaa/handbook/) and elsewhere, particularly where such policies are more comprehensive than the guidelines outlined here. Some of the relevant University rules are excerpted below, but faculty members are responsible for understanding and adhering to the complete set of rules, including conflict of interest and conflict of commitment policies, and to be aware of any subsequent policy modifications.
Conflict of Interest
University Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest and Research (published July 1, 2009) "… requires individuals to disclose outside financial interests that relate to any of their research, including unfunded research, to peers and members of the public. These disclosures must be made in publications, reports, talks, or other presentations of research." Columbia University faculty members are expected to follow this disclosure not only in academic publications but in consulting reports, presentations, and other work product that will be publicly available.
Conflict of Commitment
With respect to conflicts of commitment, current University policy prohibits outside activities that interfere with a faculty member's teaching, research, and departmental and University duties, as well as those activities that exceed more than the equivalent of one day per week. As well, according to the Faculty Handbook: "Faculty may not engage in outside activities that directly compete with the mission and interests of the University or are in conflict with their University responsibilities, regardless of the time they require." Conflict of interest and conflict of commitment rules also apply during a faculty member's sabbatical.
It is the responsibility of the Business School to ensure that its faculty members are in compliance with University policy. The Conflicts of Interest and Commitment Committee recommends the institution of more detailed and comprehensive faculty reporting requirements and policies, as follows:
- Faculty members must maintain a current version of their curriculum vitae (c.v.) on the official Columbia Business School web page; the c.v. must include a section entitled "Outside Activities."
- This requirement to list outside activities only applies to activities that might have the perception of having an impact on research, public statements, publications, or teaching, or activities related to their responsibilities at Columbia Business School. The reporting requirement does not apply to academic activities, such as preparing referee reports or writing a paper for a conference volume.
- The section must list the nature of the activity and the name of all outside organizations for which he or she has provided paid or unpaid services during the past five years, including but not limited to services provided as researcher, consultant, case writer, teacher, speaker, board member, executive, or expert witness. The name of the organization listed must be the organization that receives the benefit of the work performed, not an intermediary. Services provided to a not-for-profit must be included to the extent they affected a faculty member's professional activities as in 1(a) above. Faculty must also list any publications that resulted from such a relationship.
- If an explicit confidentiality agreement was required in a consulting relationship, faculty members must describe the type of organization rather than list the name of the organization.
- Faculty members must also list any organization in which they or members of their household have ownership of at least 5% if the faculty members professional activities as in 1(a) above are related to the activities of that organization.
- The vitae must be updated at least every six months if there are new activities that would require disclosure.
- The Office of the Dean will monitor and enforce compliance with this disclosure requirement.
- At their discretion, faculty may use the following sentence when listing outside activities: "Columbia Business School requires its faculty members to disclose any activities that might present a real or apparent conflict of interest. Here is the list of my outside activities."
- Faculty members must include in their annual Faculty Activity Report a section entitled "Outside Activities."
- The section must list the names of the organizations and the time commitments involved for each organization. If an explicit confidentiality agreement was required in a consulting relationship, faculty members must describe the type of organization rather than list the name of the organization.
- The section also must provide a brief description of the type of organization and the nature of the activity.
- The Office of the Dean will monitor and enforce compliance with this disclosure requirement.
- Disclosure on a c.v. or in a Faculty Activity Report does not fulfill any other University reporting requirement, such as completion of an annual Financial Interest Report in Rascal.
Faculty members who do not follow these rules are subject to sanctions as judged appropriate by the Dean and specified in the Faculty Handbook. If faculty members have any questions about the appropriateness of specific activities or whether such activities require reporting, they should consult the Office of the Dean prior to commencing such activities.
These recommendations are effective July 1, 2011.

SEPARATING GOOD INVESTMENT IDEAS from bad, however, isn't as easy as picking winners in the marketplace. Companies such as Salesforce and web-hosting outfit Rackspace Holding RAX -0.34904013961605584% Rackspace Hosting Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD51.39 -0.18 -0.34904013961605584% /Date(1427403683714-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 746824 AFTER HOURS USD51.39 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9253 P/E Ratio 65.88461538461539 Market Cap 7296587604.98383 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 302284 More quote details and news » (RAX) may be essential to this sea-change, but their valuations are scarily high. Salesforce, at about $149, fetches 99 times fiscal 2013 earnings estimates, while Rackspace, which operates massive data centers for cloud services, trades at 86 times. Are their opportunities really that much greater than those at Apple, which fetches 11 times estimates, or at Microsoft, which trades at 10 times?
Probably not, argues Barron's Roundtable member Fred Hickey, publisher of the High-Tech Strategist. "Companies like Rackspace and Salesforce are classic story stocks," he says, "and it is very dangerous to own such stocks when everything they might produce in the way of earnings and cash flow is already priced in." Also in that boat, he argues, is Amazon.com, which stands to prosper if its Kindle Fire can elbow its way into the tablet computer market. But at 104 times earnings, that's a big if.
The table "Who Wins, Who Loses" sifts through both opportunities and valuation, to find the best bets for investors. Google's earnings flub last week notwithstanding, that company is still on our list of likely winners, which are few and far between.
IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR Microsoft. Smartphones were still relatively primitive when Windows 7 was introduced in 2009, and tablet computers didn't even exist. Now, as the charts "Game On!" illustrate, they threaten the PC hegemony. Neither Microsoft, HP, nor Dell is a force in smartphones or tablets.
"It is becoming a mainstream idea that your PC is not the center of everything," says Kevin Landis of Firsthand Funds, who has owned Microsoft, off and on, for years -- and is nervous every time he does.
That said, Microsoft is putting its vast resources behind its Windows 8 operating system for phones and tablets. And at 12 a.m. Friday, it will begin selling a tablet computer of its own, known as the Surface, setting up a midnight madness event. So we'll know soon how the excitement stacks up against iPhone and iPad madness.
On Thursday, Microsoft reported flat year-over-year revenue, led by a 9% drop in the division that contains Windows. The numbers included pre-sales for Windows 8. Excluding them, sales in the Windows unit dropped by a third. At nine times next year's expected profits, Microsoft shares are very inexpensive, considering the strengths of the company's other businesses, including server software, databases, and collaboration. But unless Microsoft can show that Surface and all the other Win 8 devices will turn the tide for that part of the division, its stock will continue to suffer. Microsoft closed the week at $28.64 and yields 3.2%. (For more on last week's earnings mishaps at Microsoft, Google, and AMD, see Tech Trader.)
THE INEXORABLE SHIFT AWAY from PCs is causing havoc for manufacturers. This year, worldwide sales of personal computers are projected to drop about 2%, to 357 million units, according to IDC's David Daoud. In dollars, they will fall 5% to 6%. More telling: Smartphone sales are expected to surge 42% this year, to $294 billion, topping PC sales for the first time. And sales of tablets are expected to rocket 65%, to $59 billion.
To Dan Niles of Alpha One Capital Partners, this sounds very familiar. He worked in the 1980s at minicomputer titan Digital Equipment Corp., whose founder, Ken Olsen, famously said there was no reason anyone would want a computer in his home. DEC was later acquired by Compaq Computer and vanished without a trace.
Smartphones and tablets are similarly underestimated now, Niles asserts. For that reason, he's inclined to avoid Intel and Microsoft. "Go ahead, gamble they can make the leap to this new world," he says. "I don't want that bet."
As the PC market fades, Intel is trying to maintain its lead in server chips, while becoming a force in phones and tablets. Last week, it reported that PC growth had slowed last quarter and this quarter to half its usual seasonal rate, disappointing investors waiting for spiffy new "ultrabook" laptops to make a splash. At the same time, CEO Paul Otellini said Intel's new Atom chip would be in 20 tablets this quarter, including the Surface.
The problem is that Intel has more to lose from the PC decline than to gain from selling cheaper chips for tablets and smartphones. The company's shares, which closed the week at $21.27, trade at nine times next year's estimates and pay a rich 4% dividend. While Intel may never be a growth company again, it probably won't hurt investors who own it.
Apple, trading at 9.1 times this year's projected profits, after backing out $117 billion in cash and investments, is priced quite reasonably, given its expected 24% growth in revenue this year. Even as one of the world's dominant phone makers, it has just 7% of the mobile-phone market, according to Gartner, giving it ample room to grow.
Samsung, the dominant global phone producer, shows no sign of stopping its gains at the expense of smaller companies. Its stock is also undemanding, at 7.5 times next year's earnings' estimate. The Korean-listed shares traded Friday at 1.302 million won, about $1,200; its unsponsored American depositary receipts are thinly traded.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POST-PC world is the cloud. On route 101 in Silicon Valley, Wal-Mart has posted signs reading "WALMART DATA," offering jobs to engineers in its San Bruno labs. That's a sign of just how mainstream it's become for companies to sift through enormous amounts of information.
Wal-Mart's quest, and others like it, are changing the very nature of data, says Paul Saffo, a tech pundit who runs Discern Analytics, a big-data outfit in Silicon Valley.
Big data ultimately will redefine the database. To track customer information and behavior in real time, and to respond to it instantaneously, companies are turning increasingly to databases that put information in the random-access memory chips of a computer, rather than on the disk drive, as has been done traditionally. Database-giant Oracle ORCL 0.13976240391334732% Oracle Corp.

And start-ups also are targeting the database market. Among them: MemSQL, a Silicon Valley company started by former Facebook engineers.
For the moment, Oracle's traditional databases are benefiting from the surge, but that could change by this time next year.
Google is a player par excellence in big data. Sales of smartphones using the Android OS don't make the company any money upfront—it doesn't charge for use of the system -- but ultimately, all the activity on those phones is sending back to Google real-time data from the world that makes its searches more valuable to advertisers.
Google CEO Larry Page said on last week's call that the company was on pace to generate $8 billion a year from mobile devices. And some day, Google's self-driving car will bring the company real-time readings of traffic conditions -- another way to feed Google's rapacious appetite for big data.
And what of Facebook FB 0.1085383502170767% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD83.01 0.09 0.1085383502170767% /Date(1427403600172-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32186751 AFTER HOURS USD83.22 0.22999999999999 0.2529815684857246% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 608049 P/E Ratio 74.11607142857143 Market Cap 232094067043.751 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1355150 More quote details and news » (FB), which, like Google, is building its own computers from scratch to redesign the data center? Facebook defenders take a typical Silicon Valley attitude, trusting it will try a number of ways to monetize the increasing use of mobile technology and eventually hit on a solution. Firsthand's Landis, who's owned the stock since before its IPO and confesses that he's sitting on a loss, says, "Even if they hit one out of 10 products right, that's enough."
Maybe so. But all of that experimentation could cause the company to step up spending next year, says Loomis Sayles tech analyst Tony Ursillo, who also co-manages the Saratoga Advantage Trust Technology and Communications Portfolio. And that could shock the Street, which is projecting roughly flat operating margins for the company.
Amazon.com is one of the most striking players in the post-PC world. Its Kindle Fire, starting at $159, is a truncated tablet -- little more than a means for users to feed at the Amazon trough. Two weeks ago, CEO Jeff Bezos told the BBC that the company breaks even on the hardware, preferring to "make money when people use our devices, not when people buy our devices."
Amazon has overcome many doubters over the years, but with a triple-digit P/E ratio, there's still a lot of doubt to overcome.
Salesforce.com is another cloud company with a heart-stopping valuation, trading at 40 times trailing cash flow. Salesforce has new competition, in the form of Workday, which went public Oct. 12 and popped nearly 70% out of the gate. While Salesforce's software for managing customer relations is important, Workday's focus on human resources—benefits and payroll administration -- is perceived as far more critical to companies.
Hickey predicts that Workday could lure away some Salesforce investors, calling it "the real deal" in cloud computing. But Workday is projected to lose money through fiscal 2015.
EMC is a less expensive way to play the cloud, says Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital. "EMC's focus is on the hybrid cloud," he says. It has products that help enterprises shift parts of their data-processing into the cloud, reaping greater efficiencies, while maintaining full control of their critical data.
Another company to watch is Ruckus Wireless, which makes equipment that helps carriers offload cellular traffic onto public Wi-Fi hotspots. That is important because the faster connections of the latest smartphones and tablets will cause a surge in bandwidth usage, taxing the precious spectrum. Craig Mathias with Farpoint Group calls CEO Selina Lo "one of the smartest people I know" and a skilled entrepreneur. Ruckus recently filed documents for an initial stock offering.
AS THIS FATEFUL YEAR for the personal computer grinds on, some investors probably will bottom-fish for stocks. One that might be worth a look is Seagate Technology STX -0.15855250886028727% Seagate Technology PLC U.S.: Nasdaq USD53.525 -0.085 -0.15855250886028727% /Date(1427403600137-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4221343 AFTER HOURS USD54.86 1.335 2.494161606725829% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32582 P/E Ratio 11.560475161987041 Market Cap 17602201060.9973 Dividend Yield 4.035497431106959% Rev. per Employee 272322 More quote details and news » (STX), which trades at four times next year's earnings, less than one times sales, and pays a 4.6% dividend. Seagate has a chance to shift from the PC world to the post-PC world, by selling devices for the cloud and tablets. Unlike HP, which has a similarly cheap valuation, Seagate has a strategy for this and the means to implement it.
A factor that's important for all technology stocks is what happens after November's elections. Any progress on tax policy could unleash massive amounts of cash held by tech companies overseas. That, says Paul Wick, portfolio manager of Columbia Seligman Communications & Information fund, could lead to increased share buybacks and higher dividends. It could also encourage mergers and acquisitions, putting some beaten-down names in play.
But unless that happens, expect PC names to struggle as they adjust to a world in which smartphones and tablets are increasingly seen by consumers as capable of providing most, if not all, of the computing power they need.
In short, the traditional economic engine of the personal computer has broken down, and it's unlikely to get back in gear.

Love, hate and the AMT Enterprise model

Re: Love, hate and the AMT Enterprise model
I hadn't seen the show in color at the time, so I didn't have any other referents beyond what was on the box. Well, that and the cover image on
The Making of Star Trek
-- I think I had some doubts about which one to go with, but I ended up going with the box art for whatever reason. I have a vague recollection of discussing the choice with my father, maybe, but I don't remember which of us was advocating which option.

Watch out for anhydrous
Officials say area farmers are transporting hazardous cargo this time of year, and motorists need to be extra cautious.
Not only are there more trucks using area roads as part of an ongoing oil boom, but farmers are now starting to transport anhydrous tanks, which is why drivers need to ease off the gas pedal, Dunn County Emergency Manager Denise Brew said.

"Can't get any better than this!!!!!"
WOW!! I am so pleased that one of my favorite authors is now on Audible. Jacquelyn Frank has been a favorite of mine since I first READ this book back in 2006. The Nightwalker Series is one of the best out there and then when you mix it with the incredible voice talent of Xe Sands,well....it is just fantastic. Jacquelyn is such an awesome writer who brings life to her characters and Xe just gives them a voice. She has to be one of the most talented voices today. I just can't get over the perfect fit this is with Jacquelyn and Xe. I can't wait for the rest of the series!!!
"AND THE PLOT THICKENS...For the new generation"
Loving how series moved to future generation. Awesome new bad guy twist. Series still great!
"A favorite many times relisten/reread!"
Feehan and Stechschulte make an awesome team for military/paranormal/romance series. GhostWalkers are this fans favorite!
"Jennifer VanDyck is good narrator, however..."
I wish Gabra Zackman had continued narraton for Opal Cowen trilogy. Love character voice continuity.
"Love the Study/Soulfinder Series! "
Fantasy worlds just don't get any better for me. And Gabra Zackman's narration, simply amazing!
"Awesome start to the series!"
I love this series, and have listened/read it at lrast 15 times. Check it out!
"Love hearing the man's POV!"
Yes. Great story.
After having read the Fixed series from Alayna's POV, it gave a new perspective reading from Hudsons.
All the gifts. You'll have to listen or read the book to know what I mean. I don't give spoilers.
There are two sides to every story.
I really enjoyed Hudson POV. I wish more authors would do this.
YES! I love Cherise Sinclair's books. This is not just an erotica/bdsm book. It has a story to it, and though the first book (in most series), is dedicated to set up and backstory for the series, this one, for me, showed more story than most book 1's. I always have the 2 book rule. If I don't like a series after book 2, I ask for a refund.
When Jessica walk into the club itself thinking it is a private gym (club), and gets a rude awakening. LOL Classic!
Cullen, the bartender. Love the accent.
Towards the end...tears. I don't give spoilers.
I hope the rest of the series is coming out SOON!
Absolutely! I am listening for the 2nd time right now. Faith Hunter's are my go to books when I need to feel something familiar.
I won't do spoilers here. Suffice it to say that there are MANY!
Again no spoilers, but I will say, I loved the action scene where the line "Who was that masked man?) was used. It wasn't my favorite but know Broken Soul was loaded with them. (Again, I don't do spoilers).
Laughter and tears both, and I always have extreme reaction to Khristine Hvam's awesome narration. No one else could do this series other than Khristine because she is Jane Yellowrock and the entire cast of characters.
I will ALWAYS read Faith and listen to Khristine. They make an awesome team.One other thing...while listening and reading along I did find almost 2 pages missing of narration when they went to level 4 for the first time. I just thought I would let y'all at Audible know.
"There is a new submissive in town!"
Yes, to those who enjoy erotica. Why? I think this book has a good fictional story line as well as it being informative.
Many might say the Fifty Shades Trilogy because of the BDSM. Personally, I think it stands alone, other than the other Brie book that takes place right after graduation, a book I hope to hear on Audible very soon.
Actually with Brie and Tono and the art of Kinbaku.
Not your normal training school.
I think Pippa Jayne did an excellent job with the narration. I hope the next book is on audio soon.
"BLACK ARTS IS AWESOME!! Go Faith and Khristine!"
Totally freaking incredible!
For me, just the other books in the series. I haven't read anything else about skinwalkers, (except for maybe Patrica Briggs with her Mercy Thompson coyote shapeshifter). Faith gives us a very unique take on the Jane-verse. I have never read a vampire story that is any thing like it. Very in-depth. Keeps me wanting more.
OH MY GOODNESS!! Khristine takes the characters and brings them right off the page,for me. Between Faith Hunter's kickbutt writing, (Jane doesn't like cussing, lol), and Khristine Hvam's narration...well, this is one winning team! Khristine is the essence of Jane, Beast, Leo, Bruiser and the rest. If Khristine ever stopped narrating this series, I think I would just skip the audio and read the story myself. Like I said, SHE IS JANE!
Got a rogue vampire problem? Call Jane Yellowrock at Yellowrock Securities. Problem solved, Have Stakes Will Travel
For me, Black Arts is the best book in the series, so far. The book just seemed to flow. I put on my headphones and I can actually see the book come to life. Thank you Faith Hunter for another great book, and thank you Khristine Hvam, for bringing the characters right off the page!

Okay, I don't know why the pool is partially shaded--and it is pretty small--but it's still super-awesome. The staff were completely wonderful, we were 15ish minutes from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the room was in the $50 range with our AAA discount.

"Cruis'n down the road, try'n to loosen my load "
... Mike - together you make a great team and a great business!
And, by chance, I came across the Ford Cleveland plant where all the wonderful 351 & 302 Clevelands were made for those few years back in the early '70s - I felt nostalgic for my old 1975 302C powered Ford Fairlane and my 1982 351C powered Ford Bronco. I had a lot of fun in those cars and rarely did I not smile when I drove them!!
Merry Christmas everyone - I hope that Santa is kind to you all!
On to Cleveland to collect a car
I flew out of Seattle today to Cleveland, Ohio to collect my new (for me) 1976 Buick Electra.
I now understand why my friends almost fell off their chairs with laughter when I mentioned 'Cleveland' - there is somewhere that can be colder than Seattle, Washington in Winter! When I arrived and walked out of the airport to get a taxi, I felt little flutterings against my face - it was only when I looked into the light of the nearest light that I realized it was lightly snowing!!

Typically the patients are there for 2/3 days and take part in school and therapy group sessions that help look at balancing life and managing anxiety - this was particularly interesting! This was another hospital that encouraged 'dog ...
popped in on Juice (Jessica Carson Shelley) in Shaker Heights as I couldn't have been that close to her and not pop in. I needed a Juice hug too.
What a fun family! Cutie pie kids, dogs that needed belly rubs, and can't forget the birds!
Watch out for that first step out the back tho. Little rough on the knees ;-)
Happy Birthday JD - long driving day towards home
JD's 65th birthday today! Left Sturbridge at 7am. Trying to make Cleveland today for a shorter drive tomorrow. Took a different route through New York.. Took the southern route closer to Ithaca to enjoy the fall colors. 700 miles today..just under 12 hours..stayed near Cleveland after getting delayed by some horrific rush hour traffic at the ...

"A Personal London" London by shrimp56
London Travel Guide: 24,331 reviews and 52,975 photos
*** March 2013: If you want to see the ICE AGE SHOW at the BRITISH MUSEUM I STRONGLY recommend reserving online before you get there. At least for the next month or so.***
London is one of those cities that has something for everyone -- no one page can capture the "essence", because it shifts with age, interests and season.
The "essence" of London for me on several recent trips was the new central court at the British Museum - the resurrection of a long-lost space and its metamorphosis into the best that Britain can be -- honoring the past with a forward look! As you come into the museum from the main entrance on Great Russell St., you see light ahead drawing you into the newly opened space. Don't resist:)

Beautiful Photo of St Pauls, from the Modern Tate- other delightful memory joggers ;-)))
Hi Sally, I'm glad to see you had another visit to London last June. Now that you mention it, I have never seen the Thames Barrier, though I'm sure it is very unusual and worth looking at. I haven't been back to London since my daughter's graduation, but hope to go again sometime soon. Supposedly there will be a direct ICE train from Frankfurt to London one of these years.
Excellent views on London - Thx for sharing and greetz from Belgium
St Martin-in-the-Fields is just beautiful. We have some of the old bells I'm told in our Swan Bell Tower here in Perth. Just love the ceiling in this church. Thanx for sharing. Greetings from Australia and me!
You have managed to see a lot of places in London that most visitors pass by, very well done Sally, i love the photo of Big Ben with the London eye in the background,
an interesting page and great pics, Sally ! my favorite pic is "Little Venice " !
I agree The Tower of London is a great place for history Good page
love the interior shot of St.. Martins!
Nice page Sally :)
Thanks for the tips, especially links to sites I didn't have yet (Hampton Court, London Footprints). St. Margaret's looks like a great place to stay.

The Life and Work of L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza
Drawing links between genetic and cultural development, Cavalli-Sforza developed groundbreaking techniques to trace the evolution of Homo sapiens and the origins of human differentiation, in addition to his earlier work in bacterial genetics. He is also the founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project and continues to work as the principal investigator at Stanford University's Human Population Genetics Laboratory. Based on extensive research and interviews with Cavalli-Sforza and his colleagues, this biography examines the scientist's life and his immense and occasionally controversial contributions to genetics, anthropology, and linguistics.
This fascinating little book demonstrates that Cavalli-Sforza has blazed a path well worth reading.
Oren Solomon
As a renaissance scientist in the purist form... Cavalli-Sforza is a giant upon whom many scientists have stood... Highly recommended.
A Genetic and Cultural Odyssey is a wonderful journey through the life to date of a giant who is nearly glued to science.

Terrestrial/semi-terrestrial Utricularia
Anybody growing some? I've been playing with a few species and have really been enjoying them. My largest monster so far is a "baby" U. longifolia, a massive change from U. gramnifolia!! I'm hoping to grow more from U section Foliosa, but there are just so many Utricularia to grow and try... if only more people actually grew them! Looking for other people with experience and recommendations!
Terrestrial Utricularia spp are a delight indeed!. With their orchidlike flowers and grasslike leaves, these little beauties make the perfect accent for any CP collection. They require similar care to other CPs and will even tolerate a dormant period.
Some spp may need to be thinned out from time to time, but for the most part, these plants are well behaved. They need no feeding, as they feed on microorganisms in the media.

"not eligible" in the approval notice means that at the time the application was approved, you were not eligible to adjust status in the US because your priority date was not current (the key words aren't "not eligible" - they are "at this time"). You state that you have been in legal status the past 5 years, so assuming that you are still in valid status and are otherwise eligible (for example, you don't have a foreign residency requirement, you are not disqualified by adverse criminal...

I think it depends on your status and what your reason for filing the I-131 is (are you an LPR seeking a re-entry permit or an adjustment applicant seeking advanced parole, for example). It seems to me that if you need a re-entry permit in the first place you may not be able to fly back in order to file the I-131. You may want to consult an attorney directly to make sure that you need to file an I-131 and that filing it will address your situation.

You can find out if his lawyer was licensed in Illinois via the Illinois ARDC website (I've attached the link), but it is highly unlikely that it would be a factor in your brother's appeal for at least two reasons. First, as has been pointed out by my colleagues, the immigration court is federal and does not require that attorneys be locally licensed as long as they are licensed in some state. Second, attorney errors or misdeeds are not grounds for an appeal unless they affected the outcome...

As you can probably tell, the number of questions you have is very high, and perhaps what you need to do is sit down with an immigration attorney and go over everything in detail (including additional questions that you will probably only think of in the course of the consultation). Generally speaking, though, if your Iowa or NY marriage would be valid where contracted (ie. if they don't require you to live there), then yes, you should be able to apply for his green card in terms of the...

If your intention is simply to go back home you should not have any issues doing so - but if you plan to return to the U.S. someday you should probably consult an attorney directly to go over the specifics of your situation and understand your options. You may also wish to have an attorney look over the revocation of your U visa to see whether it was proper. Good luck!
Selected as best answer
Congratulations on your marriage! You will be able to petition for your parents as "immediate relatives" once you naturalize and become a citizen (3 years from "green card" if married to a citizen, 5 years otherwise). Under current law you would then also be able to petition for your brother, but in preference category F4 - however, if immigration reform passes this year, it's possible that the F4 category will be eliminated, so your sibling may need to immigrate through your parents. Good luck!
Selected as best answer
Congratulations on this opportunity. Unfortunately your questions depend on numerous individual factors that you should go over directly with an attorney. For example, the type of work visa you have is a very important detail, as are the type of investment you plan on making and the type of business your aunt plans to establish. You may also want to contact an accountant for some of the financial and tax issues unrelated to immigration that may come up. Good luck!

Permanent resident status is presumed to have been abandoned when you are out of the country for one year. People are often questioned about abandonment if they are gone for longer than 6 months. There are certain circumstances when that presumption can be overcome, but after 30 years I just don't think it would be possible. Ggood luck!

That depends on the judge, as they have their own calendars. Additionally, the October government shutdown, the holiday season and judge absences (due to illness or for other reasons) may contribute to unexpected delays in the adjudication of some motions, particularly if the reason for the motion is not directly tied to the merits of the case (examples of motions to advance that are tied to the merits of a case might involve a child who is a "qualifying relative" for relief that is about to "...
Selected as best answer
Marriage alone would not have any direct effect on his situation, but that doesn't mean that his case is lost. You need to meet with an immigration attorney directly to go over the details of his immigration and criminal history as well as his employment and family in the U.S. He might qualify for an immigration bond and relief from removal (deportation), but it's impossible to say without knowing a number of details about the case. I suggest gathering all the court and police records for...

One of the big films coming out of Sundance Film Festival this year was the story of Buck Brannaman, the perfect American cowboy. Cindy Meehl's documentary picked up the Documentary Audience Award to rave reviews. We posted an early trailer, but now, with IFC Films distributing, we have the first official theatrical trailer. Check it out below via Apple.
Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will." So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems. BUCK follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life "horse-whisperer", he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
Buck hits theaters June 17th, 2011.

It's quiet now, but none of us can sleep. The rhythmic hum of the engines is the only solace we can keep before the hellish nightmare that awaits us on Char. Too many of us still hear the screams of the dying, the eerie screeches of the zerg infestation through the night. The horrors I have seen, are enough to last a lifetime. I see my fallen allies twisted and deformed into some mutated abominations, striking with brutish hate that wells up from inside.
There is no escape from this demented reality. You can not prepare for a creature like the zerg, they are beyond any sort of reason. They will come in incalculable numbers and never stop, never tire. Relentless, soulless, without moral fiber. They are the ultimate killing machine created for one reason...to destroy.
This time we're on their planet and trying to take out the queen !@#$% of them all. Kerrigan. How we're going to pull this is beyond any of us. We can only pray now, and come to the slow realization that most of us won't make it back. Some of the fresh meat can't handle it, crying into their pillows and throwing up their rations into the cold stalls. But this is what we trained for. The rest of us have mission that needs to be accomplished and the only way you survive against zerg is keeping a cool head.

Applied online. Received a phone call the next week asking me to come in for an interview. I went into the interview and met with 5 different people for 15- 30 mins each. The questions varied from being very behavioral based to just getting to know me better. Overall, it was a very laid back and went smoothly.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Chubb Corp in September 2014.Interview Details
I originally interviewed for a Specialty Underwriting Associate position in New York. I received feedback that I did very well but did not receive an offer. I applied for the Underwriter Associate I position immediately after not receiving an offer for the Specialty Underwriting Associate position and asked my recruiter to pass my information along to the hiring manager of the Underwriter Associate I position.
In contrast to the previous position's overly-lengthy interviewing process that took over a month from start to finish, the interviewing process for this position went very quickly and was far more efficient.
A week after submitting my information to the hiring manager, I was scheduled for a single day of interviewing with 3 people of various position titles. Overall, the process lasted ~2 hours and the employees and Chubb were thoroughly professional during the process. I received an offer only 3 days later and accepted.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI received a competitive offer from The Hartford for an extremely similar position that I could've used to negotiate, but I feel like I somewhat undersold myself because I did not use this offer to negotiate with Chubb, since my preference was to work for Chubb. Both positions were entry-level and my thought process was that I did not want to build contempt for attempting to negotiate a better offer for an entry-level position.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

The Kindle 2
Everyone knew Amazon would announce a successor to its popular Kindle ebook reader. What people did not know was when. Thankfully, the time between when the Kindle 2 was announced and when it started shipping was short. Now that it has been released, it's time to put Amazon's Linux-powered book reader to the test.
Like the original, the Kindle 2 is built around an e-ink display. The dimensions of the display are the same, but every other aspect of the device is either new or modified. Instead of being shaped like a wedge, the Kindle 2 is a flat slab. Instead of a rubberized back, it has brushed aluminum. Instead of angled rectangular keys in a split keyboard configuration, it has circular keys in a rectangular grid. Instead of a scroll wheel, it has a five-way thumbstick. Instead of four shades of gray, it has 16. You get the idea.
Let's start with my favorite Kindle 2 improvement: battery life. Of all the changes, this is the one I appreciate the most. With the wireless turned on, I can use the Kindle for several days before having to charge it. With the wireless turned off, I have to charge the Kindle only two or three times a month. This is a vast improvement over the original Kindle—when I did not have the charger with me, I had to be careful never to turn on the wireless except when I wanted to purchase something or knew I had a subscription waiting for me to download. Turning on the wireless on the original Kindle is a sure way to kill your battery life.
Another improvement is that newspapers and magazines are easier to navigate on the Kindle 2. Instead of having to use the scroll wheel to select links to jump between different articles, I can move the joystick to the left or right anywhere on the page to jump between stories. Likewise, a single click takes me to the section list.
Browsing Web sites also is better on the Kindle 2. The combination of better graphics and a faster processor makes the experience tolerable. It still could be improved, sure, but it is a definite step up from the original. Web pages appear quicker and are much easier to navigate.
On the entertainment front, the Find the mines! (aka Minesweeper) game (that you can get to by pressing Alt-Shift-M) works much better on the Kindle 2. For one thing, it's actually playable, which I consider to be a requirement for games. The game works so well, I wish there were more games. Hangman, Scrabble or some other word game would be nice, for example.
Another improvement is that you now can attach notes to individual words, thanks to the five-way joystick controller. The original Kindle let you attach notes only to individual lines of text. Of course, that being said, there aren't many instances where I have wanted multiple discrete notes per line, but just in case I do, the feature is there. Unfortunately, although the original Kindle can see the multiple notes per line that I made on the Kindle 2, it can't select or edit them properly.
The power and USB ports have been combined on the Kindle 2. The included power adapter is really just a standard USB-A to micro USB-B cable with a wall adapter. The use of a micro USB end instead of the more common mini USB that the original Kindle used is a disappointment, because I can't use the same cable to connect both Kindles to my computer. A lot of manufacturers are moving to micro USB, because although the width of the plug is the same compared to mini USB, it has about half the height, which makes it easier to incorporate into thinner devices. Two years from now, I'll probably have lots of micro USB cables, because most devices will have moved to it, and it won't be a big deal. Right now, the cable that came with the Kindle 2 is my only micro USB cable, so I need to keep an eye on it. At least Amazon did not do something stupid and create its own custom connector. I also hope more manufacturers take Amazon's lead and combine both the data and power cables. Fewer cables is good, and the more devices I can charge with the exact same cable, the happier I'll be.
There is no longer a physical button for turning the Kindle's wireless on and off. This has both good and bad sides to it. For one, if you attempt to do something that needs the wireless, the Kindle 2 offers to turn the wireless on for you. On the other hand, it takes more effort to turn the wireless off now that it is not a physical switch. It takes only a couple clicks from anywhere in the Kindle 2 interface, so it's not a big deal. And, with the longer battery life, I don't need to stress as much about leaving the wireless on like I did with the original Kindle.
Password & Device Security
Two items to add to your Kindle 2 wishlist:
1) Password capability to keep device content private and secure.
2) Theft deterrence features, even if only to disable a Kindle reported lost or stolen. Amazon already has device serial number and remote access, how hard can it be to prevent unauthorized reset and reuse of a Kindle?
