They are the humanitarians who will travel the world to comfort the afflicted, researchers who will toil tirelessly to find cures for diseases, social and political activists who will fight injustice, philosophers and writers who will inspire and shape our society.
These students are among the brightest, most motivated and selfless high school graduates from the Class of 2012 – the Orange County graduates who already have sparked tangible change at their campuses, in their communities and across the globe.
These are the graduates The Orange County Register believes will change the world.
The Register's second annual report on Orange County's 10 most extraordinary high school graduates includes students who have advocated nationally for political and social causes, performed groundbreaking biomedical research, provided humanitarian relief around the globe, and led and inspired countless peers to serve and give back.
Click here to review the accomplishments of our Top 10 graduates and eight honorable mention recipients, along with their aspirations for change.
A four-member committee composed of a representative from the Orange County Department of Education and the Register's education team selected the graduates from a pool of more than 40 nominees.
More than 110 Orange County high schools – public and private – were invited to nominate just one graduate from their school whom they believe will change the world.
"The nominated students were all superior, and we chose the absolute 'best of the best,' " said committee member Stephanie Schneider, an instructional services administrator at the county Department of Education. "Orange County is in good hands with these students – they are all certain to make an important difference in their communities."
Many of the graduates have been named valedictorians or salutations at their high schools, and all have racked up myriad service and leadership honors. Five are heading to Ivy League schools; the others are off to top colleges including Stanford University and UC Berkeley.
The selection committee weighed students' academic achievements, volunteer efforts, extracurricular activities and faculty recommendations. Above all, though, the Register looked for graduates with a track record of remarkable accomplishments.
Top 10 grad Steven Holcomb of Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Rancho Santa Margarita started a student club that cooks and serves meals every month for families of children in intensive care at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.
Justin Taleisnik of Irvine's Beckman High launched a local political campaign netting more than 1,500 signatures in support of a congressional bill that was to provide billions of dollars in financial aid to Israel.
Gita Bhattacharya of Fullerton's Troy High took her interest in tinnitus, or ringing of the ears, and not only became a youth advocate about the dangers of unsafe iPod use but also performed laboratory research on hearing loss and published an award-winning epidemiological study on risks of high listening volumes.
All of the students' nominators heaped praise on the graduates, describing them with words such as "never goes with the flow – she starts the flow" (Aliza Braunstein, Dana Point's Dana Hills High), "someone who accepts responsibility as a necessary duty – a young man who embraces public spiritedness with inspiring dedication" (Ryan Pallas, Las Flores' Tesoro High) and a "one-in-a-million student that you know will go far in life and change the world" (Emma Townley-Smith, Santa Ana's Orange County High School of the Arts).
"He is an amazingly confident and poised young man, who is never afraid to take initiative in anything," said Ann Jacobson, the career counselor to Rohan Rastogi of Irvine's University High. "His passion for his extracurricular activities and academics is only surpassed by his desire and dream to become a medical doctor. ... Rohan has truly made himself into someone who has the potential to inspire others."

Advancement News
Smaller Gifts Create Big Possibilities for Kent State StudentsPosted Jan. 4, 2011
Alumna Amanda Valko, '01, this year is making her first contribution to Kent State's Annual Fund. And her $20 gift to the Department of Anthropology has a large impact.
That's because gifts less than $1,000 add up: Last year, Kent State donors who contributed less than $1,000 collectively gave more than $2.8 million — an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. And the number of donors of that size climbed by more than 1,800, back to levels not seen since the Great Recession began.
Many of these contributions came in through the university's PhoneCenter, where student callers contact alumni to give them Kent State updates, and learn if they're interested in making a gift. Donors are sometimes surprised to discover that they can allocate their gift toward their priorities — whether that's scholarships, athletics, or any college, school or department within the university. And each donor has his or her motivation for giving, which may include helping Kent State raise its national and international rankings — alumni participation is a key measure in those calculations.
Several of the current student callers shared what they're hearing from alumni.
Kait Fenstermaker, a fashion major, says donors often tell her they want to give back to the institution that allowed them to be successful in their careers. James Continenza, an education and history senior,notes that someof the alumni he has spoken to have told him they support Kent State to make it an even a better place than they found it. AndSara Lemmeier, a senior interior-design major,credits the ongoing Centennial Campaign because alumni tell her they want to make Kent State's next 100 years as excellent as the first 100.
Albert Melfo, director of annual giving, agrees with Lemmeier.
"In times of economic uncertainty, we all prioritize our charitable support," he says. "The Centennial Campaign built a case for the future of Kent State, and our donors have endorsed that vision through increased support of our students, our research and our capital projects."
For alumna Valko, the call from a student reminded her how her graduate school experience at Kent State changed her life path. Her first career was as a registered dietitian, but archaeology had been her amateur hobby for years. So when she was laid off from her job, she found field work with various archaeology organizations and businesses. But because she didn't have an appropriate degree, there was little opportunity for growth.
Four long years of commuting from her home in New Castle, Pa., to Kent State — while working a full-time job in the laboratory at Michael Baker Corp. — changed all of that.
"Once I got my master's at Kent State, they moved me out of the lab," Valko says. "Without the degree, I'd probably be stuck as a field tech at the age of 53. It gets harder and harder, the older you get, to dig hours and hours a day."
Eventually, her company moved her back to the lab — but this time to lead it, something she says her Kent State master's degree helped her achieve. So now, she's decided to be a part of the Centennial Campaign by giving to the Annual Fund.
"I figured, time to give back to the university that helped me out," she says, "that helped me advance in my career."
To contribute to the Centennial Campaign through the Annual Fund, visit www.givetokent.org.

Financial management takes center stage as agencies root out wasted billions
Monday - 4/8/2013, 2:37am EDT
By Lisa Wolfe
Program Director
Federal News Radio
Government spending is changing — drastically. You know. You are experiencing sequestration, having to figure out how the $1.2 trillion in cuts under the Budget Control Act will affect your agency. And now, with the recently-passed fiscal 2013 funding bill, there's more data on where your budgets drop next. All of these, really, are just taking bites around the edges of the nation's $16 trillion deficit.
But there's a shimmering light at the end of the tunnel held by someone with the tools, the understanding and the prominence to restore the government's financial environment. That's right, I'm talking about your agency's chief financial officer.
No, not the stereotype you're thinking; green eye shade, hiding behind his or her calculator and counting every dollar through some unknown formula on an Excel spreadsheet. Don't get me wrong, those people still exist in every organization — and are needed. But, I'm talking about a new breed of CFO in whom are combined the mad science of Victor Frankenstein, the prescience of Gordon Moore (hint: Moore's law), and the efficaciousness of Robert Livingston (think: Louisiana Purchase).
Federal News Radio's week-long, on-air and online series, "Rise of the Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make the final assault on wasted billions," zeros in on CFOS and their soldiers who are in the financial wars, their strategies and tactics for waging the fight, the current and emerging weapons in their arsenal and how their future battles will unfold.
Saving the wasted billions can't come soon enough as federal employees are furloughed, programs and contractors are cut and agreement on future federal budgets appears remote. A House bill to balance the budget in 10 years is at odds with a version in the Senate to change the spending trajectory. Reconciliation is pursued but unlikely. So, as debate continues over how to reach a final destination, agencies have no choice but to forge ahead in the direction of financial accountability, responsibility and efficiency.
The goal of Federal News Radio's special report is to shine a brighter light on the people and their strategies and weapons today and in the future that will help address the government's wide-ranging financial challenges. CFOs and their staffs have spent decades working behind the scenes to administer financial management, but the time has come for them to step out and lead these efforts.
Below, is a synopsis of what you can expect from Federal News Radio's special report this week. We hope you'll check back each day for new articles, interviews and multimedia elements that, we believe, give a detailed look at the importance of effective financial management in the federal government.
Chief financial officers report for duty
Congress institutionalized a tighter grip on federal spending in 1990 with the CFO Act. Twenty-three years ago, the CFO Act created the internal controls and oversight and accountability systems to make better use of financial data.
Monday, Federal News Radio's Jason Miller explores whether the CFO Act has lived up to Congress's high expectations and whether lawmakers need to update it. He asks OMB's first comptroller Ed Mazur, the author of the original version of the CFO Act, and former Congressman Joe DioGuardi about its implementation. He also gets the lowdown from current OMB Controller Danny Werfel about the CFO Act's future evolution.
Check out our interactive timeline on the important moments in CFO history.
For a look at how federal financial management skills and expectations are evolving, we turn to former Housing and Urban Development CFO Doug Criscitello and Jeff Steinhoff, executive director at KPMG Government Institute. They explain how why current budget pressures have led to a Golden Age for agency CFOs. At the same time, Graduate School USA's Steve Potts tells us why agencies need to be examining succession planning within the financial management ranks.
Gone are the days when agency CFOs stayed cloistered in their offices with the financial books. Now, more than ever, CFOs are collaborating with their counterparts across the C suite — chief information officers, chief acquisition officers and others. Linda Springer, the executive director of the government and public sector for Ernst and Young and former controller at the Office of Management and Budget, explains why agency execs are increasingly relying on agencies' financial-management shops for data and answers.

Severe Weather
Severe Weather
Dangerous meteorological phenomena with the capability to cause damage, disruption or death are often referred to under the blanket term of severe weather. Severe weather is also part of the larger umbrella term of natural disasters, which includes land, water, fire, health and space disasters.
These phenomena can occur over a vast swathe or in a relatively small area. High winds are a major cause of severe weather; they may take the form of tornadoes, downbursts, waterspouts, cyclones, etc. Other forms of severe weather include lightning, precipitation (e.g., snow, rain, sleet, hail), lack of preciptation (i.e., drought), extreme heat and extreme cold.
Excluding flash floods, the U.S. National Weather Service issues a warning across media whenever a severe weather event occurs. The photo here depicts a waterspout with lightning near a city. (Photo: Shutterstock)

Were you looking for the Beta-2 Microglobulin test that is ordered to evaluate kidney disease?
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help evaluate the severity and prognosis of certain cancers, including multiple myeloma and lymphoma
When to Get Tested?
When you have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma or certain other cancers; sometimes to monitor disease activity and treatment
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a 24-hour urine sample; rarely a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) is a protein that is found on the surface of almost all cells in the body and is shed by cells into the blood, particularly by B lymphocytes and tumor cells. It is present in most body fluids and its level rises with conditions that increase cell production and/or destruction, or that activate the immune system. This test measures B2M in the blood, urine, or rarely in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
B2M is frequently elevated in the blood with cancers such as multiple myeloma and lymphoma and with inflammatory disorders and infections (e.g., HIV, CMV). Because B2M is increased with blood cell cancers, it is useful as a tumor marker. Though it can be used to assess kidney function, this article focuses on its use as a tumor marker.
The B2M level can be increased in the CSF of individuals with blood cell cancers that have spread (metastasized) to the brain, such as lymphoma, but also with some chronic disorders such as multiple sclerosis and with viral infections such as HIV.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. A 24-hour urine sample may also be collected. Rarely, a CSF sample may be collected from the lower back using a procedure called a lumbar puncture or spinal tap.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
I was lucky enough to have Rear Adm. Tolley as my friend, and to have him as a guest in my quarters, along with his wife. He was a great story teller. You should read his books, but that was nothing compared to sitting with him and listening to him. I have this picture. It is worth every penny.

Deerfield has a long tradition of song, from "Sunday Sings" with Mr. Boyden and required Glee Club auditions through the 90s, to the pop a cappella groups the Mellow-D's and Rhapso-D's today.
Once a week School Meeting begins with the singing of one of Deerfield's school songs, and at every Sunday sit down dinner the whole school comes together and sings the Evensong. During the spring term, as seniors prepare to graduate, they are called upon many times to join in the Evensong. Even at the Academy's annual Investiture event, alumni, parents, and students gather at sunset to sing the Evensong together. All these songs hold very special meaning for students, alumni, and faculty alike:
|The Deerfield Evensong
Words by Richard Warren Hatch
Music by Ralph Herrick Oatley
Far beyond each western mountain
Now the meadow-wind's soft whisper
Let the circling night be softened
|The Deerfield Song
Words by Ralph Herrick Oatley
Her sons and daughters rally
New laurels we'll bring to thee,
And once again our voices
The Deerfield Cheering Song
Deerfield! Go onward marching,

Go a Little Less Green for the Environment
Consider Replacing Part or All of Your Front Lawn with a Pollinator-Friendly Garden
Lush, wide, green and rolling: In America, we love our lawns. We like to sprawl out on the grass for a picnic, gather on the neighbor's lawn for a game of touch football, and set up our folding chairs and tiki-torches in the backyard green for summer barbeques. I like doing these things too, and I have a small lawn of my own in Vermont. But it's important to remember that lawns, from an environmental perspective, provide little support for the ecosystem. In fact the tremendous amount of water, fossil fuel, fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides used to maintain most suburban lawns makes our green-fixation downright irresponsible. And although green areas do reduce heat in cities, tightly cropped lawns do little to create habitat and provide food for birds, bees and the many other creatures sharing our world.

MBT Sadiki - Patent leather sandal that is perfect for summer! The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor emulates the feeling of walking on sand.
MBT Sadiki Crimson Red Patent Leather Women's Sandal
Features include:
If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
This is a most comfortable sandal and you can wear it the whole day without any discomfot! I love MBTs because it truly helps with your posture and thereby minimizing back aches and stuff. My only complaint in this sandal is that i need to thread the buckle every time. Most of my sandals are either zipper or velcro which makes it so easy.
So many of the MBT shoes are clunky looking but these are a nice looking dressy sandal.
These are the most comfortable and stylish sandal. Great for wearing to work. I'm lucky that they fit just right. Wanted to purchase another pair right away, but they were already sold out of my size. Highly recommend.
Tried this style on when MBT first introduced it over a year ago, and the smallest size was 36. I wear a 35, but at that time MBT only had athletic styles that small, so I made do with adjustable straps on certain sandals. The size 36 Sadiki was hopeless huge, and I was broken hearted since I loved the style. But this year, seeing Sadiki offered in my size, I ordered it online and crossed my fingers. Had my doubts since the straps are not adjustable. To my delight they fit me perfectly, and they are extremely comfortable. In nonEuropean brands I'm a 5 wide.
MBT are the only shoes I can walk in without foot pain, and I am extremely grateful they are offered in my size. I own several pair. This style is dressy and have a delicate appearance despite the rocker sole.
I can honestly only wear MBTs comfortably. Any other shoes hurts my feet after an all day shift or even a short walk. Now I can wear cute shoes with my summer dresses! Before I wore my big MBT shoes all summer long. These are my 4th pair of MBTs. I buy 1 pair every year. And all of them have lasted! Well worth the price if you believe in health and taking care of your feet and back. My only concert with these sandals is the strap has a buckle. I am afraid with my daily use, the holes will stretch. I have already noticed my preferred hole is stretching.
I love MBT's and the only shoe I prefer. I have been buying them for years. They help after three failed back surgeries and make it possible for me to tolerate walking and enduring the day. The expense holds me back. These sandals are dressy enough for occasions where I have to be on my feet more.
This is my second pair of this MBT style- I have the grey ones also, and just wanted another color because I get so much wear out of them. They are fabulous- it's so nice that I can have stylish and elegant dress sandals, that I can wear all day long and feel totally comfortable in. I love MBT's- I have 5 pairs now, and they make a huge difference for all day foot comfort. They actually improve your posture when you walk in them!
Nice and relatively soft sandals.
I don't have any complaints about these shoes. They are expensive and I'd love for them to be cheaper, but other than that, they are great. Fit true to size for me, good arch support for me, reduces any heel pain I was having.

Having recently read the article "the Myth of Moral Chaos", it bothers me that Sam Harris is not condemning the evil character of militant atheists, and indeed appears to pretend that this problem does not exist. Having dealt with such people face-to-face and on discussion groups, having seen the depth of their inhumanity, I am surprised that no one calls them out for it. I have been harrased by militant atheists and never had this problem from religious people. I have had insults, jeers and sarcastic remarks thrown at me, as well as campaigns of defamation that included repetitions of easily disproven lies and distortions, all for striving to engage in honest and well-meaning criticism of the beliefs of the atheists I have come into contact with. One of these people even described that they were "raising trolling to an art form".
The overall attitude of evangelical atheists (a term I borrowed from urbandictionary.com and whose definition seems accurate) is one of malice, of deriving pleasure from ridiculing people whose beliefs they disagree with, both due to their conflation of ideas and the people who possess them, and out of a fervent desire to "destroy" and "attack" said ideas through the people they target. Debate and discussion are, for such people, not a means to build knowledge together, but a means to "demolish" it, leaving only what they themselves agree with unscathed. This does not limit itself to religious beliefs. I have seen it happen time and time again that whenever they take issue with someone's ideas, they will mock the person in private and in public, they will generally express strong contempt towards that person and only address that person's ideas to the extent that they can use them to show (to themselves if not others) that said person is, in their own words, "stupid". And after engaging in vividly fallacious smears towards anyone who lies beyond the grasp of honest criticism, they will hypocritically claim to do so in support of "reasoning", as well as uphold any foul language they use as "free speech". Thus, they are drawn to atheism because it offers them a convenient supply of true statements to throw at "lesser" people for the sheer pleasure of intellectual vandalism, rather than out of a wise desire to awaken similar truths in their own or in other people's minds.
One prominent atheist, who goes by the name of Thunderf00t, was recently made the target of a hate campaign that included copyright infringement notices, apparently made by people from freethoughtblogs.com. A prominent female men's rights activist and antifeminist was the subject of a doxing attack (aimed at getting her personal details so that the perpetrators could carry out future harrassment) when she left a perfectly well-meaning and highly upvoted comment on the youtube channel of an atheist associated with freethoughtblogs.com. One prominent female member of the skeptic community, Rebecca Watson, recently talked (with great pride) about how she repeatedly humiliated her female handler and treated her as a slave for fun as part of her talk at a Skeptic conference, to the cheers and laughter of many in the audience; when this handler texted her in mid-conference to say that she was quitting, everyone laughed again. This is the malicious nature of the evangelical atheist encapsulated in a single event.
Knowledge, wisdom, understanding - these things are not adversarial, should never be and, to the extent that evangelical atheists conceive of them, can never be. One cannot hurt ideas any more than one can build a sculpture out of them. To even conceive of conducting a debate for the sake of inflicting suffering on one's debating partners, rather than revealing the truth, is to pervert one's self and potentially the targets as well.
I look forward to a civilized discussion on this, and if anyone else has received hostility from militant atheists, I would be grateful for their stories.

Formtek Security Extension
When an organization uses a single ECM system to manage information throughout the enterprise, the ability to effectively administer the access privileges of a large number of users in different groups is critical.
The Formtek Security Extension offers more flexible security capabilities in addition to those available with standard Alfresco® Share by allowing file and folder access control on per-user and/or per-group basis. That is, specific users can be allowed access to only certain files and/or folders. The level of security provided by the Extension allows system administrators to protect valuable content while still providing for the access needs of diverse groups throughout the enterprise.
- Provides more granular permissions that enable you to assign specific users and/or groups to a file or folder for more flexible security
- Propagates folder permissions to its subfolders, but allows these permissions to be overridden per subfolder
- On installation, creates a new SITE_PUBLIC group to support the assignment of more granular file/folder permissions
- By default, adds newly created users to the SITE_PUBLIC group, but allows you to override this assignment as needed
- Assigns the SITE_PUBLIC group instead of the Everyone group to newly created sites
- Installs via a JAR file and includes an installer and an uninstaller

LUMBERTON — The Robeson County Board of Commissioners will be asked Monday by the Lumbee Tribe to allow the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs to operate as a public housing agency throughout Robeson County.
In a letter from Ed Brooks, the tribe's attorney, to County Manager Ricky Harris, Brooks said that the tribe wants Section 8 vouchers for tribal elders to reduce their monthly rental costs. According to Brooks, the tribe has been approved by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to construct a 50-unit senior housing subdivision, currently being referred to as Pembroke Senior Village. The units are designed to provide tribal members 62 years and older a "subsidized alternative for housing," the letter said.
"While various housing authorities in Robeson County use Section 8 rental vouchers for properties throughout the county, the Lumbee Tribe seeks the assistance of the county to bring new vouchers into the county to supplement those currently available within the county," Brooks said in his letter. '"In 1976, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development designated the N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs as a recipient of several hundred vouchers for Indian people. The vouchers … are designated for those counties in which state-recognized tribes reside, to the exclusion of Robeson County."
According to Brooks, the Lumbee Tribe is working with the state Commission of Indian Affairs to make their assigned Section 8 vouchers available to tribal people residing in North Carolina.
"To make this possible, the tribe needs the county to authorize the N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs to operate as a public housing agency, including its HUD Section 8 housing programs, within and throughout Robeson County," Brooks said.
In other business, the commissioners on Monday will:
— Hear a presentation by Loistine DeFreece, chairwoman of the Public Schools of Robeson County Board of Education, concerning Robeson County Career and Technical Education.
— Hear a presentation from Janet Robertson, of the Lumber River Council of Governments, concerning the county's Public Transportation Plan.
— Consider a request that a Governor's Highway Safety Grant for the Sheriff's Office be approved.
— Hold a public hearing on a request to support a business considering either locating or expanding its operations in Robeson County. The economic development project is being called "'Project Cartoon.'"
The business would invest $9 million in equipment and machinery, and create five jobs paying an average wage of $23.62 an hour plus benefits.
— Consider several requests for conditional-use permits.
Monday's meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the county administration building on North Elm Street.

This preliminary proposal was presented at the King-Spadina community meeting on August 14th. The building would be situated at the corner of the block defined by Adelaide Street, Peter Street and Drummond Place. Presently, the buildings on that block consist of a small number two floor structures. The notable businesses now there include the Adelaide Street Pub, the Roosevelt Room and the former (infamous) Club 338.
The architect is aA (Peter Clewes presented), and the proposed height was 129 metres.
Unfortunately I can't recall the developer.

High-growth entrepreneurs in Kansas City have a lot going for them—Google Fiber, the Kansas City Startup Village, 1 Million Cups and access to an array of programs and resources from the Kauffman Labs for Enterprise Creation. Still, more can be done to boost the region's already dynamic startup scene and help young companies thrive.
It has been two years this week since the Kauffman Foundation took extensive research and data analysis around new firm formation, crafted a single document, and labeled it "The Startup Act." Renaming the conversation that PDE had started earlier around how policymakers can make it easier for startups to emerge, create jobs and grow, was very effective in getting policymakers in Washington to take a look at entrepreneurship through the lens of helping new and young firms. But how far has America come in getting something done on their behalf?
According to a recent report on angel investing in the United States, more than 8 in 10 angel investments in the last 12 months were completed in the home state of the investor group and company. The Q1 2013 Halo Report—published by the Angel Resource Institute, Silicon Valley Bank and CB Insights—is based on 207 deals totaling $222 million invested.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
With the August recess looming just ahead, it looks to be another busy week on Capitol Hill. The immigration debate looks to be moving one piece at a time as the House Judiciary Committee looks for a way to first resolve the status of illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Meanwhile, members of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee look for a way to improve technology transfer and advance innovation into the marketplace. Other topics covered include: regulatory barriers; SBIC; copyright law; NIST and the private sector on cybersecurity; and the state of wireline communications.
Pressing ahead with its plan to build an entrepreneurial economy, Malaysia's Ministry of Finance will host the fourth Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) on October 11-12, 2013. With the expected participation of U.S. President Barack Obama and other heads of state, the summit in Kuala Lumpur is set to be a milestone for Malaysia's quest to become an entrepreneurship hub. I met with the planners in Kuala Lumpur recently to discuss progress.
After two consecutive months of increases (April and May), small business owner confidence dropped in June according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses. The latest Small Business Optimism Index shows a continued see-saw trend that remains mired between the depths of the recession in 2009 and the heights of the economic expansion of 2004-2005.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke makes a couple of appearances on Capitol Hill this week as he outlines monetary policy and the state of the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, the House Small Business Committee examines how the IRS selects, classifies and audits the tax returns of small businesses. Other hearings cover topics such as: clean energy financing, pooled retirement plans for small businesses, regulatory burdens and more.
Unemployment rates in Spain are one of the highest in the developed world, hovering around 25% this year. Worse, for those under the age of 25 the joblessness rate is more than double (57%). On a recent visit to Barcelona, I met a Prince doing something about it.

JON CARDINELLI says Butch James has made a statement since returning to South Africa and one bad tackle hasn't changed the fact that he remains the Springboks' strongest flyhalf option.
James has featured in just five games for the Lions since leaving English club Bath, and his impact as a leader and innovator has been profound. He did well in tandem with Elton Jantjies at the crucial 10-12 axis, and when asked to assume the pivot responsibilities, he so nearly orchestrated a great upset over his former Sharks team-mates.
The Lions led the Sharks 30-9 after 60 minutes, but a late rally by the visitors saw the game ending in a dramatic draw. The Sharks scored a converted try through Pat Lambie before James was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle, and seven more points while they enjoyed a numerical advantage.
Another converted try levelled the scores, and so the Lions' dream of ending a poor season on a winning note was crushed.
Much has been said in the aftermath about James costing the Lions the game. Some have even gone as far to say it's a mark of things to come if the aggressive No 10 goes to the World Cup.
Those who are quick to judge James's yellow card as the turning point conveniently forget that the Lions conceded tries either side of his sanction. They also choose to ignore James's late drop-goal attempt that was charged down by Bismarck du Plessis.
Would James have been so harshly criticised had Du Plessis been a yard slower, and that kick had bisected the posts? Would there be such ridiculous statements about his tackling style costing the Boks' in big games, or would those self-same pundits be praising him and touting him to win the World Cup in a similar fashion?
Kicking has long been perceived as James's weakness, even though he's averaged 83% as a goal-kicker for South Africa. On Saturday, he challenged that perception again by slotting six from six, some from extremely difficult field positions.
James's attacking skills and bruising defence have been evident during his five-match stint with the Lions, but his kicking and overall game management have been equally impressive. He will be afforded starting opportunities in the coming Tri-Nations, and if he can build on his performances in the Super Rugby tournament, he will force Peter de Villiers to reconsider the decision to stick with Morne Steyn.
Both Steyn and James will go to the World Cup, with utility players like Ruan Pienaar and young Lambie providing further flyhalf options. The Boks will need a flyhalf who can play according to the situation, in other words, somebody who is equally capable of kicking for territory or bringing the backline into the game.
Steyn's limitations were laid to bare in the Boks' 2010 Tri-Nations campaign, and the Bulls have struggled on attack in 2011. Steyn kicked the cover off the ball in the Bulls' most recent game against the Stormers as part of a specific game plan. These tactics won't work against an All Blacks or Wallabies back three who have the tactical kicking ability as well as the counter-attacking means to hurt the Boks.
Selecting a first-choice flyhalf comes down to who offers the team more options in the big matches. The Boks will have a relatively easy ride through to the World Cup quarter-finals, and you'd back them to overcome Ireland in that fixture. Who then is the best No 10 to lead the charge when the Boks take on the All Blacks in the semis?
The argument that James was a poor kicker was flawed to begin with, and his recent performances for the Lions have put that myth to rest. Outside of his kicking, he will offer a sound defensive option and unleash a Bok backline that has been shackled for too long.
And for those who are worried about his tackling, just remember what an important role he played as a defender at the 2007 World Cup. James will be one of the Boks' greatest assets at the tournament in New Zealand rather a perceived liability.

About the TerraPass badge program
Organizations that purchase carbon offsets through TerraPass are eligible to become a TerraPass Badge Partner. Badges come in three levels, indicating the amount of carbon emissions reduced.
A White Badge signifies a reduction of up to 200 metric tons of carbon emissions. A Blue Badge indicates a reduction of between 200 and 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. A Green Badge indicates a reduction of over 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions.
Badge Level is determined by the amount of carbon reductions sponsored within the past 365 days. Reductions that took place more than 365 days ago do not count toward Badge eligibility.
TerraPass provides tools and consultations to help partners estimate their carbon footprint, but TerraPass does not certify the results of these calculations. All energy use figures are self-reported by Badge Partners, and partners are not required to balance 100% of their emissions to be eligible for the TerraPass Badge program.

|Introduction | Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro lens performance | Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro versus competition | Conclusion
With a DxOMark score of 23, this new model actually falls behind its older sibling, the Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro, which scored 25. In terms of the P-Mpix score, mounted to an EOS 5D Mark II, it managed 13P-Mpix, relative to the nominal score of the camera being 21megapixels. While this may sound quite low, the sharpness is almost completely homogenous across the frame with hardly any fall-off all the way out to the edges, even when shooting at the maximum aperture.
Looking at the Chromatic Aberration scores, the lens performs very well with hardly any chromatic aberration that would be visible in final image. Again, this holds true at all apertures as well, so you should not expect to see much fringing around any high contrast edges – for example around the edges of hair on insects.
The distortion is also well controlled, showing no real barrel or pincushion distortion. Though with prime lenses such as this, it this is to be expected as it is easier to control this aspect of lens design when free of the compromises caused by a zoom lens.
The lens shading, or vignetting, is the only real area of concern on this lens, as when shooting wide open at f/2.8, there is up to 1.5EV difference between the centre and edge of the frame. Since macro lenses are often used wide open, this may be a concern, though as soon as the lens is stopped down the vignetting does improve and by f/5.6 it has disappeared completely.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

News Detail
Kent State's African Community Theatre Presents "The Sirens"Posted Apr. 2, 2010
The African Community Theatre of Kent State University will present its Spring 2010 production of "The Sirens" by Richard Wesley and directed by Dr. Fran Dorsey. The theatre is located at 225 Terrace Drive in Oscar Ritchie Hall on the Kent State campus in Kent, Ohio.
The play runs from Friday, April 16, through Sunday, April 18, and from Friday, April 23, through Sunday, April 25. Friday and Saturday showings begin at 8 p.m., and the Sunday matinees start at 3 p.m.
"The Sirens" is a penetrating study of character and the destructive cycle which so often characterizes life in many large impoverished urban areas. Through a series of vignettes made up of street encounters, dialogues and monologues and enticing women of the night, the playwright counterpoints the lives of two young prostitutes; the man who earlier deserted one of them; and a high school-aged couple whose future is surely shadowed in the present existence of the others.
"The play mixes humor and sadness, yet it captures at times the feel of the streets and of the nature of life in which people are so scarred, scared and trapped by their limited experiences that hope and self-confidence are stunted and betrayed in the bitter search for simple dignity, happiness and individual fulfillment," said Dorsey, the African Community Theatre's resident director.
The play features the following student and community performers: Braheem Wahid of Kent; Romando Sparks of Cleveland; Nicole Haugabrook of Macedonia; Javonte Jackson of Akron; Linus Undiandeye of Shaker Heights; Christian Moore of Bedford Heights; Danea Rhodes of Akron; Aungelique Scott of Akron; and Renina Black of Cleveland.
This play is for mature audiences only and not recommended for children under 15 years old. Tickets are $7 for students and senior citizens and $10 for general admission. For more information, call 330-672-2300 or 330-672-0151.

GREENSBORO — As Guilford County struggles with a looming $41 million budget deficit, several members of the Board of Commissioners said programming at the county's public parks could be on the chopping block.
"We're not mandated to have parks or to operate parks," said Commissioner Hank Henning in a work session last week. "We're engaging in an exercise to fund something that we don't have to fund."
Henning said he appreciates the parks, but that in a tough budget year, such county expenses as the sheriff's office and fire and emergency services are a priority. All nonmandated expenses have to be on the table for cuts, he said.
The county owns six public parks — Gibson, Hagan-Stone, Bur-Mil, Northeast, Southwest and Guilford-Mackintosh. It co-owns a seventh, Triad Park, with Forsyth County.
Until this year, the county never ran those parks. Instead, it contracted with towns and cities for maintenance and day-to-day operations and paid them a management fee.
Last year, the outgoing Board of Commissioners changed this arrangement during last-minute budget negotiations, calculating the county could save more than $300,000 a year if it managed the parks through a new county department.
The new Republican majority on the board said they aren't convinced.
Under the old model, towns and cities put up the money to run the parks each year and took the revenue the parks generated. The county then paid the difference between those amounts, reimbursed the city what it paid to salaried park employees and paid 10 percent of park expenditures as a management fee. Those fees amounted to about $2.2 million last year.
The county runs Gibson, Hagan-Stone, Bur-Mil, Northeast and Southwest Parks with a full-time staff of 25 employees. Burlington continues to manage Guilford-Mackintosh, and Guilford and Forsyth share the management of Triad Park.
The new cost to the county will be about $2.8 million, according to County Budget Director Mike Halford. But because the county will be getting all the park revenues, Halford said the net savings this year will be about $200,000.
"That's a good savings," Commissioner Linda Shaw said. "I'd like to see a savings like that in some of our other departments."
Shaw's fellow Republicans were more skeptical. Unaccounted-for new expenses will eat into any savings, they said.
They also argued the county should rethink what it spends on parks altogether.
"I think the municipalities should be funding the parks in the first place," Henning said. "We were being good sports in my opinion to help fund them all these years."
Democratic commissioners balked at cuts to park funding, saying the county has an obligation to maintain the parks it owns.
"We own these parks," Commissioner Bruce Davis said. "Are you suggesting that we would sell the parks? And if so, who's here to say the cities would even want to purchase them? These are assets that past boards decided were good things for the people of Guilford."
Shaw said she agrees.
"The parks are important to the people of Guilford County," Shaw said. "Especially in these economic times, they're places where people can go with their children or their grandchildren for little or no money and enjoy."
Vice Chairman Bill Bencini said the county owns the parks, whether the commissioners like it or not. The parks have to be maintained, he said. But it's possible to cut back on programming and leave that to the private sector, he said.
"I do think we could own and maintain the parks, that's our part," Bencini said. "And we leave it to others to provide the programming."
