Our paper, Say on Pay in Italian General Meetings: Results and Future Perspectives, provides an analysis of the empirical data of shareholders' say on pay in Italian general meetings in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Say on pay, a shareholders' advisory vote on a company's remuneration policy, was introduced in Italy following the European Commission (EC) Recommendations N. 2004/913/EC, N. 2005/162/EC, N. 2009/384/EC and N. 2009/385/EC, which allowed member States to choose between implementing a binding or non-binding advisory shareholder vote on a company's remuneration policy. Like most European states, Italy has opted for the "weaker" non-binding option. Reference is made to both approval votes (by controlling shareholders) and dissenting votes sometimes casted by minority shareholders (mainly, foreign institutional investors). The dissenting vote, in particular, shows a paramount critical value as originating by shareholders who are independent from the directors involved by the resolution—unlike the controlling shareholders who have nominated and subsequently elected the directors (to whom may often be linked by family or economic ties). In recent years, a significant increase in voting by minority shareholders, mainly foreign institutional investors, regarding—but not limited to—remuneration policies has been noted. This is a direct consequence of the procedural changes introduced by the Shareholder Rights' Directive n. 36/2007/EC (e.g. record date, reduction of threshold to call special meeting, relaxation of proxy voting and solicitation rules, extension of time—prior to general meeting—to release relevant information for the items of the agenda and translation of documents into English, etc.).

Aligning the Interests of Company Executives and Directors with Shareholders
Today [February 9, 2015], the Commission issued proposed rules on Disclosure of Hedging by Employees, Officers and Directors. These congressionally-mandated rules are designed to reveal whether company executive compensation policies are intended to align the executives' or directors' interests with shareholders. As required by Section 955 of the Dodd-Frank Act, these proposed rules attempt to accomplish this by adding new paragraph (i) to Item 407 of Regulation S-K, to require companies to disclose whether they permit employees and directors to hedge their companies' securities.

SEC Proposes Proxy Disclosure Rules for Hedging by Directors, Officers and Employees
Pursuant to Section 955 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC on February 9, 2015 proposed hedging disclosure rules for public comment and review. These rules, if adopted, would require proxy statements involving the election of directors to disclose whether the company permits employees (including officers), members of the board of directors or their designees to engage in transactions to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities that are granted to the employee or board member as compensation or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or board member, regardless of source.

Compensation Season 2015
Boards of directors will soon shift attention to the 2015 compensation season. Key considerations in the year ahead include the following:
1. Be Prepared for Shareholder Activists. Companies today are more vulnerable to activist attacks than ever before. Companies should therefore ensure that they understand how their change in control protections function if an activist obtains a significant stake in the company or control of the board. A change in board composition can trigger the application of the golden parachute excise tax under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and can result in negative tax consequences for executives and the company. In addition, in the age of performance awards and double-trigger vesting, clarity about the impact of a change in control on performance goals matters more than ever. Appropriate protections ensure that management will remain focused on shareholder interests during a period of significant disruption; inadequate protections can result in management departures at a time when stability is crucial.
Updated CD&A Template Aims to Improve Communication
In 2011, CFA Institute released the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) Template as a tool to help companies produce a more succinct and informative CD&A that served the needs of both companies and investors. At the time there were complaints from both issuers and investors that the typical CD&A was seen by too many issuers as a compliance document that was too lengthy and too opaque to serve as the communication tool investors desired.
In the intervening years disclosures in the CD&A have improved a great deal, due in part to increased engagement between issuers and investors, a better understanding of disclosure best practices by issuers, and more willingness by some issuers to experiment with more creative ways of telling their stories.

New Evidence on Compensation Consultants and CEO Pay
In 2013, CEOs in S&P 500 firms were paid, on average, over 200 times the average worker's salary in their firms. To avoid or minimize public outrage, managers have a substantial incentive to obscure and try to legitimize their excessive compensation. One way of doing so is to have "independent" compensation consultants recommend higher pay to the board. However, prior literature has not been able to find significant evidence that hiring consultants leads to higher pay, partly because the information is only available after 2006 and most studies on this topic examine one or two years after 2006.

Looking at Corporate Governance from the Investor's Perspective
Corporate governance has always been an important topic. It is even more so today, as many Americans recognize the need to develop a more robust corporate governance regime in the aftermath of the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Although the recent financial crisis—aptly named the "Great Recession"—has many fathers, there is ample evidence that poor corporate governance, including weak risk management standards at many financial institutions, contributed to the devastation wrought by the crisis. For example, it has been reported that senior executives at both AIG and Merrill Lynch tried to warn their respective management teams of excessive exposure to subprime mortgages, but were rebuffed or ignored. These and other failures of oversight continue to remind us that good corporate governance is essential to the stability of our capital markets and our economy, as well as the protection of investors.

Executive Compensation Under Dodd-Frank: an Update
The Dodd-Frank law took effect July 21, 2010. [1] Subtitle E of Title IX of Dodd-Frank addresses "Accountability and Executive Compensation" (§§951-957). Since the enactment of the act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted final rules as to two of the provisions, proposed rules as to two others and has not yet proposed (but has announced it will be proposing) rules as to another three provisions. This post summarizes the current status of regulation projects under Dodd-Frank Sections 951 through 957.

Jamie Dimon's Pay Raise Sends Mixed Signals on Culture and Accountability
The JP Morgan Chase board of directors has vexed the world with its terse announcement in a recent 8-K filing that CEO Jamie Dimon would receive a big pay raise—$20 million in total pay for 2013, up from $11.5 million for 2012, a 74 percent increase.
Not surprisingly, the news sparked strong reactions, from indignant critique to justification and support. Dimon's raise obviously has special resonance because JP Morgan's legal woes were one of the top business stories last year as it agreed to $20 billion in payments to settle a variety of cases involving the bank's conduct since 2005 when Dimon became JPM CEO. But the ultimate question that gets fuzzed-over in the filing and response is one of culture and accountability—whether a long-serving CEO is accountable for a corporate culture that has spawned major regulatory inquiries and settlements across a broad range of legal issues, even though the firm has otherwise performed well commercially.

Stephen in CA
I was deciding on whether or not to use ATF or this. I have used other brands for years and decided to give this a shot as I heard nothing but good things about it. Holds up good, I like to change my fluid every 8-10 hours of riding. If I make a trip to the desert for a weekend I always change it. I am pretty hard on my bikes, clutchless downshifts and upshifts. Slip the clutch, pop the clutch and use the clutch a lot to keep it in the powerband (2-stroke). Whenever I remove the old fluid it looks like when it went in the bike out of the bottle! It is the same red color, not grey, not black like other brands I have used. I like to stick with a formulated fluid with additives. This is doing the job well so far and is not too pricey.Read All Reviews

Last week, Mayor Mike McGinn, city council member Tim Burgess, and a group of neighborhood, transportation, and business activists signed off on letters urging the city's Department of Planning and Development to revisit a proposed upzone throughout the area around the Roosevelt light rail station to allow buildings much taller what DPD and the neighborhood previously agreed to. Today, the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association's land use committee chair Jim O'Halloren fired back, sending a letter to neighborhood residents urging them to contact Mayor Mike McGinn and the city council and tell them not to revisit the zoning in the neighborhood.
Roosevelt residents spent several years working with DPD and Sound Transit to come up with a plan to increase density in the area when light rail arrives. In recent weeks, however, a chorus of voices has emerged urging DPD to increase heights further than what the neighborhood agreed to---to as much as 12 stories in the immediate vicinity of the station.
The zoning originally approved by DPD would allow about 350 new units of housing in the area around the station above and beyond what the current zoning allows.
Calling the idea of revisiting the zoning "a grave insult to the Roosevelt community, and the countless hours of good-faith volunteer effort to plan responsibly for smart growth," O'Halloren writes, "We have been planning for years, the best ways to integrate transit into our community, to accommodate reasonable growth while retaining things that are important to us. ... Please ensure that the Legislative Rezone process is not derailed, but rather expedited so that Roosevelt can become a model 'transit oriented community.'"
McGinn is scheduled to meet with DPD director Diane Sugimura this Thursday to discuss the Roosevelt rezone.

Staff is friendly, but be prepared to wait.... by katwoff - 05/17/2013
My husband and I had previously been patients at the 2nd St office. When our doctor retired we decided to switch to the Curtis Rd office. We had appointments a week apart, and for each of us, they were 1 1/2 to 2 hours behind schedule. When I commented, the staff acted as though I was unreasonable. Will never return to the Curtis location.
Dr. Tweeten by Glaucoma - 04/24/2013
I came in for an eye appointment the other day and the staff there was amazing! Dr. Tweeten is a genius and his staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Another notable mention is the reception staff. They are friendly and always have smiling faces. I am very impressed! I will be returning next year for my annual!

Avoid If You Don't Want to be Jerked Around by Polk - 02/25/2013
They are terrible at keeping appointments. Appointments you wait a year for are suddenly not there when the day arrives, then they want to reschedule in another 3-4 months. You cannot trust them. The doctors also shuffle you off to see someone else when you have specific reasons for wanting to see them, so there is no continuity of care. If I had a NO STAR star option, I would give them no stars because to say I am disappointed does not come remotely close with how I feel about this practice. AVOID THEM!!!
First Choice for Eye Care by Contact Lens Wearer - 05/21/2012
I've been a customer and patient with Intermountain for many years. The eye care and contact lens expertise is unmatched. My gas permeable contact lenses are the most comfortable lenses I've ever had. I've been very satsified with the level of service I've received, and, in the rare case of an adjustment becoming necessary, Intermountain personnel do whatever is needed for resolution. Thank you for your excellent service!
Excellentexamsbutstafffailstwiceduringsingleappointment by goodpatient - 12/17/2011
Competence until the last second for (1) the full eye exam and (2) contact lenses until sending me home with the wrong lens. 1. Upon being dismissed from the exam chair, I had to remind staff to do the glaucoma test--quickly done, but the rush to the next patient left me doubting.2. Best exam I've ever had for determining new contact prescription and eye glasses. But I was given the wrong box to take home, and there is no way to phone after hours for a remedy, except leaving a message that may or may not be returned. I'm squinting to write this as a result.Patients need to stay alert during the herding.
Intermountain Eye by Intermt eye review - 08/18/2011
Very bad service. I made an appointment for my child weeks in advance, and still waited over an hour and a half to see a doctor. It must either be understaffed or over-booked, but it's the second time it's happened to our family (and the last)

OSU leads cold-weather barley research
- Christina Williams
- Editor, Sustainable Business Oregon
Oregon State University researchers will use a $849,629 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a hardier strain of barley that can be grown in colder regions.
The grant is part of a $25 million effort being run out of the University of California in Davis to produce climate change-tolerant barley and wheat varieties.
Barley crops in Oregon, grown on 31,400 acres and worth $6.8 million in 2009, according to an OSU report, are dwarfed by the value of the state's wheat crop, roughly $223.6 million for the same year. But researchers in Corvallis have been working on cold-tolerant barley for several years.
The school is also testing a "mini-malter" to uncover which varieties of Oregon barley might be good for brewing Oregon beer.
The cold-weather research is focused on cereal crops including wheat and barley because they are crucial to the world's food system. As the planet's climate changes, so will the regions where these crops can be grown. Cold-tolerant varieties will lead to more flexibility in the food system.
The grant will fund five years of research, testing more than 21,000 different strains of barley for traits including water-use efficiency and disease resistance.
"The beauty of this project is that in addition to all of this trait testing, we're generating very complete genetic data sets on every one," said Pat Hayes, head of the barley breeding program in OSU's College of Agricultural Sciences, in a press release. "What we're doing in plants now is the same thing that was the goal of the Human Genome Project, but plants are the subjects of this research."

Capitol Visitor Center:
Update on Schedule and Cost
GAO-06-251T: Published: Nov 16, 2005. Publicly Released: Nov 16, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses the progress on the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) project. Specifically, this testimony discusses (1) the status of the project schedule since Congress's October 18, 2005, hearing on the project, (2) the project's costs and funding, and (3) worker safety issues. We will discuss the progress made and problems encountered in completing scheduled construction work and in continuing to develop the project schedule, as we indicated during Congress's October 18 hearing; however, we will not be able to estimate specific completion dates until the project schedule is stable and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) and its construction management contractor--Gilbane Building Company--have completed their assessments of the schedule and we have had an opportunity to evaluate them. Also, we will update the information we previously provided on the project's costs and funding, using readily available data, but we will wait until the project schedule is stable and has been fully reviewed before we comprehensively update our November 2004 estimate of the cost to complete the project and update the provision in our estimate for risks and uncertainties facing the project.
Construction work in several areas has moved forward since Congress's October 18 CVC hearing, but additional delays have occurred, and AOC's construction management contractor has identified several concerns with the schedule that raise questions about its proposed mid-December 2006 opening of the base CVC project to the public. AOC and its construction management contractor expect to resolve outstanding scheduling concerns and issues by the end of this year. When AOC and its construction management contractor have prepared what they consider to be a reasonably stable project schedule, we will reevaluate the schedule and inform Congress of our results. In the interim, to help ensure that Congress has better information for making CVC-related decisions, we are recommending that AOC (1) implement the recommendations for obtaining a more reliable project schedule contained in its construction management contractor's November 2005 report, which are consistent with our previous recommendations on schedule management, and (2) reassess its proposed December 2006 date for opening the CVC to the public when it has a more reliable construction schedule. Our preliminary work indicates that the entire CVC project is likely, at a minimum, to cost $542.9 million. This preliminary estimate falls about midway between our September 15, 2005, interim estimate of $525.6 million, which did not provide for risks and uncertainties, and our November 2004 estimate of about $559 million, which did provide for risks and uncertainties. Specifically, this current $542.9 preliminary estimate is about $17.3 million more than the September 15 interim estimate and about $16.1 million less than the November 2004 estimate. The current $542.9 million preliminary estimate does not provide for risks and uncertainties or for additional payments to contractors to cover the costs of certain delays and other contingencies. Even without providing for risks and uncertainties, though, we have increased our cost estimate since September 15 because additional and more expensive changes to the project have been identified; we have increased our allowance for contingencies; and we have added funding for AOC and contractor staff that we believe are likely to be working on the project through the spring of 2007. Our preliminary estimate substantially exceeds MBP's November 2005 updated estimate of $481.9 million, largely because MBP's estimate does not cover a number of project components and does not, in our view, provide adequately for contingencies. According to our analysis of CVC data, worker safety rates have improved substantially this year, although the lost-time rate remains above industry norms. The injury and illness rate for the first 10 months of 2005 declined 52 percent from the rate for 2004, putting the CVC site's rate 3 percent below the average for comparable construction sites. The lost-time rate decreased 62 percent during the same period, but the CVC site's rate is still 29 percent higher than the average rate for comparable construction sites. AOC and its contractors have taken a number of actions during 2005 to improve safety performance on the project, such as conducting training to elevate safety awareness and placing safety posters around the worksite. In addition, senior managers are meeting periodically to develop strategies to improve safety. Poor housekeeping, however, has been an ongoing issue at the site, and the sequence 2 contractor has recently taken actions to address this issue.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: There were four major recommendations addressed in the November 2005 CVC testimony as recommended by the construction manager's November 9, 2005 report. The first two recommendations, as noted on page 9 of the CVC testimony, were partially completed. However, the second two recommendations were not completed.
Recommendation: To help ensure that Congress receives a more reliable estimate of the project's completion date in order to plan for the Capitol Visitor Center's (CVC) opening to the public and make more informed decisions about the Architect of the Capitol's funding needs for CVC construction and operations, the Architect of the Capitol should implement the recommendations (which are consistent with our prior recommendations on schedule management) made by its construction management contractor in its November 9 report on its schedule evaluation.
Agency Affected: Architect of the Capitol
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: AOC has since revised it's expected completion date several times. It last updated the completion date on November 15, 2006 at the Senate hearing. At this time AOC stated it expected the CVC to complete in late 2007. GAO is currently predicting completion in early 2008.
Recommendation: To help ensure that Congress receives a more reliable estimate of the project's completion date in order to plan for the Capitol Visitor Center's (CVC) opening to the public and make more informed decisions about the Architect of the Capitol's funding needs for CVC construction and operations, the Architect of the Capitol should reassess its proposal to open the CVC in mid-December 2006 when it is confident that it has a project schedule that reflects realistic durations, enhanced logic, the resolution of concerns expressed by the Fire Marshal Division, and the impact of delays and contract changes.

red carpet
Posted by Shirley Brady on February 24, 2012 08:05 PM
As it has done for the past three Academy Award ceremonies, jcpenney will hit the Oscars red carpet by promoting its recent "brand refresh," showing off that it's had a little work done (new logo, single-monikered lowercase name) and is making a comeback in true Hollywood fashion.
New brand face Ellen DeGeneres will be featured in five 30-second commercials (watch "Changing Room" above and a sneak peek at others set in the Wild West, Victorian England and ancient Rome, below) that will air in North America during ABC's telecast on Sunday night.
Other brands debuting new campaigns at the 84th annual Academy Awards include Hyundai's new Wes Anderson commercials, and a glamorous spot for the sixth-generation SL roadster by Mercedes-Benz.Continue reading...

brand extensions
Posted by Sheila Shayon on January 25, 2012 12:01 PM
You may not have heard of Astalift, but you will soon. The line of skin creams, which promises to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, is expanding from Asia to Europe. Its claims may not be unique, but the brand behind it is: Fujifilm.
Cosmetics, specifically anti-aging creams made from the same antioxidation technology used in preventing photos from fading, are the backbone of a brand extension which has kept Fujifilm alive in Asia, where Astalift has been available in Japan and China for the past couple of years, in a rapidly changing world where its core product, photography and film, shifted 180 degrees, leaving one major brand, the newly bankrupt Kodak, in its digital dust.
Applying its patented chemicals in new ways, with Astalift Fujifilm claims that Pico-Collagen penetrates the skin through cell gaps, working from the inside-out to restore suppleness and elasticity, and has built its Fujifilm Beauty brand around that claim, first in Asia and now coming to Europe. Using collagen in cosmetics is relatively new, but its use in preventing photographic images fading is tried and true.Continue reading...

Posted by Sheila Shayon on January 19, 2012 07:29 PM
Eastman Kodak Company's filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it reorganizes its business raises "the specter that the 132-year-old trailblazer could become the most storied casualty of a digital age that has whipped up a maelstrom of economic, social and technological change," as the Associated Press (via Time.com) puts it.
"Kodak played a role in pretty much everyone's life in the 20th century because it was the company we entrusted our most treasured possession to – our memories," said Robert Burley, a photography professor at Toronto's Ryerson University, to the AP.
And now those memories have been co-opted by the likes of Facebook's Timeline (which just added 60 new apps) and other online memory-keepers in an age where the business of photography has moved to digital.
Although Kodak's press release says, "The Company has made pioneering investments in digital and materials deposition technologies in recent years, generating approximately 75% of its revenue from digital businesses in 2011," it was not enough to keep the venerable brand solvent.Continue reading...

Craft area up to 34th Street in the Park "sinu round" on the banks of the Sinu River in the city of Monteria in Colombia. This area is surrounded by old trees and small kiosks where they sell various craft items.
South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest. To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case. The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina. Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians. Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight? I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.Text by Steve Smith.

Quality Bed & Breakfast
Received a very warm welcome which lasted throughout the visit from Sue the owner of the house.
The house is spectacular with many original features. Very large extremely well presented rooms with access to a fabulous quiet lounge. Because of the age of the house the bedroom window did rattle a little at night but this is to be expected. Very well worth a stay. We would certainly go back. The B&B is very well situated to enable visitors to go into Edinburgh, Sterling or, to drive to the many scenic routes nearby. Linlithgoe itself has a lot of history attached to it so if you don't want to go far their is the Linlithgoe Palace or a lovely canal walk. You are also not far from the Falkirk Wheel which is well worth a visit.

Vietnam veteran's best friend is a cat, not a canine
It is often said that a dog is a man's best friend, but for one Vietnam veteran a special needs cat – not a canine – fills that role. It is a sad truth that young, small and healthy cats and dogs are the first to be adopted at shelters across the country. This means older, large-breed and special need pets are left to either live out the rest of their lives in shelters or, even worse, are euthanized. Every year animal shelters throughout the United States care for approximately six to eight million dogs and cats, however, more than half are put to death because no one adopts them. Cats like … [Read more...]
Dog lover makes room in his heart for a cat named Callie
A dual Marine-Army veteran and dog lover learned that he had a soft spot for, of all things, a rescued Calico cat. The Vietnam-era Devil Dog - a term associated with the Marines since WWI for their legendary bravado in battle - found joy with the finicky feline, who's proving to have a personality as resilient as her savior. After serving in the Marine Corps from 1973 to 1975 and then the next eight years in the Army as a heavy–wheel vehicle mechanic, Mark separated from service with the rank of sergeant first class. The disabled veteran always fancied himself a dog person, but that all … [Read more...]

There are so many scenarios and as a result, so many lost pets. It can happen to you so be prepared, and act fast if your pet goes missing.

Animal cruelty: a gateway to violent crime?
The recent arrest of Interpol fugitive Luka Magnotta served as a rude reminder that animal cruelty is not a crime to be taken lightly. Magnotta was arrested in Germany for murdering, mutilating and cannibalizing a young man in Montreal, Canada. Magnotta recorded video of the murder, then posted it on the Internet. For two years prior, animal activists had been searching for a young man who had posted videos of himself online, torturing and killing cats. Montreal law enforcement has since identified the animal abuser as Magnotta. The link between animal cruelty and violent crime Analyses by … [Read more...]

Thursday night at Chet Anderson Stadium, Bemidji girls' soccer goaltender Casey Palmer had the perfect vantage point to watch and appreciate the coordinated effort between the defense and offense.
"Our defense played very well and I think we also played our best offense of the season. When the offense and the defense play that well it helps me a ton," Palmer said.

MINIs on the Dragon 2010
Over the years we've made it clear how much we adore MINIs on the Dragon as an independent US based MINI event. Arguably the largest MINI event in the US not hosted by MINI USA, MOTD is unique in that it is centered around one road in a vastly rural area. But what a road it is. The Dragon (as it is known) is an 11 mile stretch of US 129 that starts in extreme eastern Tennessee and turns 318 times before it ends in western North Carolina. To put it mildly it is arguably the best stretch of road in North America. With it's inspiring layout and excellent banking, the Dragon is a rare road in that it has almost a magical rhythm do it. And in early May MINI's take over the entire thing
The Full Run
With over 600 registered (and many others sneaking in) MINI on the Dragon (MOTD) is arguably the largest US MINI event outside of MINI USA's MINI United. It's also our favorite here at MF. Why? Because it's all about driving the best road in North America. Everything else (no matter how good) is secondary to the road and the driving experience. Which begs the question, are you going?

Random verseFor the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared, teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

My Dad's Old tools, Still work. Circa 1950.
I have that same tool box.
Yeah, I've been 'tinkering' with stuff since I was 10 years old. The General Shop class I wanted to take was 6 weeks of wood shop, 6 weeks of metal shop, 6 weeks of automotive, etc until the school year was finished.I aced all of them, and learned a lot of things I didn't know, and have never forgotten.I'm sure dear old Dad reamed the counselor a new one, as he seemed a bit miffed at me when I went to pick up my new class schedule!
i have dealt with a lot of engineers in my career and its discouraging the amount of them that cant take things to practice after designing them. I am amazed how easy it is today for me to make a little extra pocket money simply doing "handyman" stuff for people, its simply because people dont know how to do things anymore
Glad I'm retired
Boy, you sure have that right!I'm an Engineer, but I'm a hands-on guy. The young guys I work with don't know which end of a soldering iron to pick up, or how to hold a screwdriver so if it slips you won't jab yourself in the hand!When I look at the great things our Country has done, and the incredible feats of Civil Engineering (Hoover Dam), Mechanical Engineering (mass produced V8 engines), and Electrical Engineering (the power grid), it really make me scratch my head and wonder how we got here.We not only couldn't build projects like that any more due to the lack of "Hands On" people it takes to drive a project of that magnitude, we also lack the will to do great things like that.
Remember the past, look to the future and hang on to quality

But I always wondered what the tire was for ?

By Scott Malone and Elizabeth Barber BOSTON (Reuters) - Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told a high school friend his older brother was "very strict" and might not like him because he was not Muslim, the friend testified on Tuesday. Stephen Silva, who federal prosecutors contend loaned Tsarnaev the gun used in the shooting, said he had long been friends with the defendant but had never met his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, who died following a gunfight with police four days after the bombing. Defense lawyers opened the trial at U.S. District Court in Boston with the blunt admission that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had carried out the crimes he is charged with, focusing their hopes on the jury sentencing him to life in prison rather than the death penalty he could face if found guilty.
By Brendan Pierson NEW YORK (Reuters) - A woman who pleaded guilty to raising illegal campaign money for former U.S. Representative Michael Grimm of New York was sentenced on Tuesday to three months in custody. The sentence for Diana Durand, 48, was unexpected because prosecutors had not recommended anything more than probation. U.S. District Judge Sterling Johnson at a hearing in Brooklyn also ordered Durand to pay a $10,000 fine. Durand pleaded guilty in September to violating the Federal Election Campaign Act by directing more than $10,000 in campaign contributions to two candidates for the House of Representatives in 2010 through straw donors whom she reimbursed, avoiding federal caps on donations.
By Ian Simpson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, arrive in Washington on Tuesday for a four-day U.S. goodwill visit that includes a meeting with President Barack Obama, the British Embassy said. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are seeking to boost Britain's partnership with the United States in such areas as climate change and encouraging corporate social responsibility, the embassy said. Charles, the 66-year-old heir to the British throne, and his wife arrive on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday and Thursday, they will tour monuments and historic sites including the Lincoln Memorial and Mount Vernon, home of the first U.S. president, George Washington.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Criminal charges against an accused rapist were dropped Tuesday due to concerns about the credibility of the victim as a witness, the prosecution said.
Authorities found nearly 150 grams of marijuana and a revolver in millionaire Robert Durst's hotel room when he was arrested over the weekend, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
By Sebastien Malo NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shamrocks and rainbow banners waved on Tuesday over the first openly gay group to march in New York City's main St. Patrick's Day parade, but gay rights advocates and elected officials called for greater inclusion in the event. Organizers of the city's 254th parade to celebrate Irish heritage shifted their policy this year for the first time to allow Out@NBCUniversal, an organization of gay employees of NBCUniversal, the parade broadcaster, to march in the procession up Fifth Avenue. "I will not be marching, but I look forward to progress in the future," said de Blasio, noting the parade, said by organizers to be the oldest and largest such event in the United States, was still not "open to folks who would like to participate who don't happen to work for NBC." Two dozen protesters, some waving signs reading "Who said St. Patrick was straight?", rallied on the sidelines of the parade led by Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan, this year's grand marshal.
MUD LAKE, Idaho (AP) — Some 2,000 migrating snow geese have died recently in eastern Idaho, likely from a disease that comes on quickly and can kill birds in midflight, wildlife officials say.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bolstered by a spate of upbeat economic news, President Barack Obama is claiming the upper hand in the budget fight unfolding in Congress, aiming to exploit recent Republican stumbles to give Democrats an advantage despite their status as a weakened minority. But while Obama retains full use of the bully pulpit, his leverage over matters of government spending may prove limited.
With his political future in question, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday made a list-ditch appeal to hard-liners as the country went to the polls in a tight parliamentary election, saying that high Arab voter turnout was endangering his right wing party's dominance.

Are you having a Super Bowl party for the 2013 Super Bowl? Well, unless your party has a replica Lombardi Trophy made almost entirely from meat, it won't be as good as the ManBQue party in Chicago.

The first Grand Slam event of 2013, prime-time UFC fights and the NFL's best players highlight the upcoming sports calendar. Here's what to watch this weekend:
The red-blooded Americans of 4for4.com Fantasy Football are true public servants. These dedicated football junkies hope fellow U.S. citizens will rally behind them and sign a petition at WhiteHouse.gov asking the Obama Administration to declare the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.
Fox NFL studio analyst — and former two-time Super Bowl-winning coach — Jimmy Johnson is always in postseason form, especially his hair.
Police stormed a movie theater in San Diego on Saturday and shot and wounded an armed domestic-violence suspect who was pretending to be a patron.
Uruguay's Gonzalo Bueno should have scored a clinching goal against Peru last week in a game between the nations' Under-20 teams. Bueno DIDN'T score, because Peruvian goalkeeper Angelo Campos may be the fastest man in South America.

The NFL playoffs are set after a number of thrilling contests in Week 17 of the 2012 NFL regular season. Here's a recap of all of this week's games:

During a Sunday news conference, police said the gunman in Friday's school shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. possessed much more ammunition in addition to the rounds he used to kill 20 children, seven adults and himself. Authorities also responded to a phoned-in threat at a church near the scene of the tragedy which has left the small New England town shaken and in a state of solemn mourning.
