Agrium (AGU)
Jana Partners released a presentation outlining key points in its proxy battle against the agricultural products and services company. The presentation was aimed at proxy-advisory firms. The hedge fund launched the proxy fight in November 2012, and put forth nominations for five directors.
In a March 20 filing, Jana said it approached Agrium in May 2012 about ways to address "historical underperformance." It also said Agrium's "growth strategy destroyed value." Agrium responded with a press release and a video from its CEO, saying equity-research firms and the two largest shareholders back Agrium's view.
Jana owns 11,199,881 shares (7.5% of total outstanding voting shares).

OTK Associates told the hotel operator it is nominating seven candidates to serve on the board who, it says, will "either grow the business and return the company to profitability" or pursue alternatives.
The investment partnership also issued a letter to fellow shareholders, criticizing the board and management, saying, among other things, "The board has engaged in a number of self-serving transactions and questionable employment decisions during its tenure. In March 2011, the board appointed a new chief executive officer who had never previously served in a public-company operating role nor worked in the hotel and lodging sectors. The CEO has however served as a paid employee for Morgans' largest holder of convertible debt securities and preferred shares from 2008 to 2011."
OTK owns 4,500,000 shares (13.9%) and is the company's largest shareholder.

Starboard Value sent a letter to the board of directors on March 18 saying that it intends to nominate six directors. In February, the office-supply retailer agreed to merge with rival OfficeMax (OMX) in what the companies termed a merger of equals. In the letter Starboard said, "We are deeply concerned with the current operating performance of the company. We believe a new board that possesses the appropriate skill sets to oversee a turnaround of Office Depot with a goal of substantially improving operating performance is necessary, whether as a standalone company or as a merged company."
The hedge fund noted that it is Office Depot's largest shareholder and that after the proposed merger it would likely be the largest shareholder of the combined companies as well. Starboard's nominees include its own Chief Executive and Chief Investment Officer, Jeffrey Smith, as well as former Chrysler and Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli, and former Staples Vice Chairman Joseph Vassalluzzo.
Starboard owns 42,100,000 shares (14.7%).

What's Happening: Relational Investors is urging management to increase operating margins, accelerate divestment of noncore assets, improve capital allocation, and tie executive compensation to shareholder value creation. Absent this, Relational believes the company should explore strategic alternatives.
Key Numbers and Dates:
8.76%: the percentage of common stock owned by Relational.
May 2013: when the next annual meeting is likely to be held.
January 3, 2013: the deadline for stockholders to submit director nominees for the 2013 annual meeting.
Behind the Scenes: Relational is a seasoned and respected activist, with few highly concentrated positions. SPX was on track to become a pure-play flow business and got sidetracked with the offer to acquire Gardner Denver, which KKR has now agreed to buy. Relational would like to see SPX get back on track and align management incentives accordingly. This would help bring its profit margins in line with peers, but not get it all of the way there. SPX would also have to fix execution issues raised by their recent acquisition of Clyde Union, and even then, realize more margin improvement that can be made in the core business. While it is too late to do anything for the 2013 annual meeting, Relational is putting SPX management on notice that it is watching, and that the company needs to earn its independence. If management does not act to fix these issues during 2013, Relational will likely pursue board representation and/or push for a sale of the company in 2014.

Ontario Catholic trustees call government contract deadlines unrealistic
Ontario government under attack by Catholic boards over Labour Day deadline for deal that freezes teacher wages for two years.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ontario Catholic school boards warn the "strong-armed timelines" of a new government ultimatum to sign contracts with all their unions by Labour Day is unrealistic and fails to serve the best interests of public schooling.
The Ontario ministry of education sent out the memo Tuesday from assistant deputy minister Gabriel Sekaly asking boards to sign deals before school starts again or risk provincial takeover.
"How unrealistic is it for the ministry to dictate dates and tell unions and school boards they must sit down and sign deals in the next few weeks – that's unprecedented, and it's not the negotiating process," said Kathy Burtnik, vice-president of the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association and chair of the Niagara Catholic District School Board.
In order to cut costs, the province has said it will not fund a pay raise for teachers for the next two years, and has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association for a two-year wage freeze, three unpaid professional development days, and scrapping the practice of banking sick days to cash in upon retirement.
But the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association has refused to sign the deal, arguing it removes a principal's right to decide who to hire as a supply teacher, rather than simply go by seniority. The group also opposes a clause that gives teachers, not the principal, the power to choose what sort of student assessment to do within class.
Without the signature of the boards who are the actual employers, the legal status of the teachers' deal is somewhat fuzzy, Burtnik said.
Moreover, public school board unions have refused to negotiate with the province because they oppose the wage freeze, making it unlikely any of them would sign a new contract by the sudden Labour Day deadline.
In its memo, the province warned school boards they must be financially sustainable. With union contracts expiring Aug. 31, not having a new deal in place "could raise concerns about a board's ability to meet its financial obligation," said the memo, "at which point, the minister could decide to exercise her powers as set out in the Education Act to put the board on a more sustainable footing." This includes possibly assigning a provincial advisor to come in and take over the financial reins.
The Ontario Public School Boards' Association is meeting this weekend and will discuss labour relations, including the latest memo.

You're too incredible for a job you hate.
It's time to leave behind the world of the Working Dead and rejoin the living.
Let me show you how to thrive.
Many times while working with Jess she insisted that I really could be happy, find my passion and do what I love to do. The big problem was, how do I unravel myself from what I thought I should be doing, and find that one thing that would make me happy? Well I'm delighted to report that I finally got it! This week I decided to leave a job that, althou(...)
Thank you for all of your help. I admit that initially I was somewhat skeptical about submitting to any sort of personal coaching. You changed my mind, very quickly. Your thoughtful and insightful guidance has been inspirational. You have given me so many ideas and tools that have helped me manage my life better. I have become more efficient at getting(...)
"Jessica was incredible in helping me figure out 1) exactly what type of work brings me the most happiness and 2) the necessary steps I needed to take in order to get paid to do it. Most importantly, she gave me the jump-start,motivation and inspiration I needed to achieve my goal."
Jessica came in to my life at the exact moment I needed her. It was almost magical. I talked to her on the phone briefly and knew I had found the perfect fit. Jessica really listens and gets to the core of your search. She is genuine and really cares about getting you on track. I found my experience with her always positive. She never invalidated(...)
Jess thank you so much! You have been an inspiration, a motivator and the power behind restarting. You have in every step reminded me that it is never too late to do something you love and practically showing me how changing what I had been doing for the past 15 years can mean building on it rather than throwing those years away. What I appreciated most(...)
Thinking about getting started?
I'll get back to you fast.

For some time now, our Java application has came pre bundled with a JRE on Windows. We have a little launcher app written in C that make the application use our pre bundled JRE. Now with Apple's crusade to slowly kill Java we have decided that it would be prudent to something similar on OSX. What would be the best way to use a pre bundled JRE on OSX?
Even if I find it a bad idea (see below) you could just bundle a JVM like OpenJDK and then start your application with a small script calling your
Notice: I have no idea if redistributing a JVM is allowed (legal), you should check the agreement before downloading
There are some detailed instructions in this blog post about bundling a JRE in your app, and enabling it to be submitted to the App Store.
I'm the author of the blog post linked by @Daniel in his answer. I successfully bundled the OpenJDK and published a Java app on the Mac App Store.
First, let me correct some issues in the accepted answer.
There's no need to create any script as described in @Matteo's answer, you can use an application called AppBundler, published by Oracle, to create the native executable that will launch your application and create a native bundle. AppBundler will also generate a Info.plist file that contains info on how to launch your application, like the name of the executable to launch, Java arguments etc...
From 10.7.5 and above your app has to be Gatekeeper compatible and signed (so you must enroll in the paid Mac developer program) if you don't want a dialog saying that your app is from an unidentified developer to appear when the user first opens it.
To be deployed on the App Store your app also has to be able to work in a sandboxed environment but it's not a strict requirement if you distribute it outside the App Store.
Note that AppBundler lack some useful features, you may be interested in this fork.
Here is a step-by-step guide from Oracle themselves on how to bundle a JRE for distributing on Apple: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/packagingAppsForMac.html

DEFINITION of 'Scale Order'
A type of order that comprises several limit orders at incrementally increasing or decreasing prices. If it is a buy scale order, the limit orders will decrease in price, triggering buys at lower prices as the price starts to fall. With a sell order, the limit orders will increase in price, allowing the trader to take advantage of increasing prices, thereby locking in higher returns.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Scale Order'
For example, if a trader believes that a stock will fall over the course of the day, a scale order will help him or her take advantage of the lower price if the prediction is correct. If the trader wants to purchase 1,000 shares of the company, he or she may scale the limit orders so that 100 shares are bought for every $0.50 fall in price.

"I absolutely love these invitations. The paper is gorgeous and the printing is perfect. The die cut I ordered is such a nice touch! Perfect. But, if you can't print out a proof easily, then there is potential for error. So.... Advice! Please call this company to send you a proof or digital email if you need to see and make corrections on paper and not the computer screen. Super customer service. If only all companies were like this one! Sincerely, Barb"
"These perfectly fit the update we were looking for on the traditional black and white invitation. Wedding Paper Divas did a great job editing the wording to reflect my husband's late parents, and customizing the back. We tied them together with Tartan plaid ribbons to add a little extra holiday pop for our December wedding. We received so many compliments and couldn't have been happier!"
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"I was not going to order from wedding paper divas because it was a little more expensive than other sites. But I kept coming back to this design. It matched our wedding theme and colors perfectly and it was so stunning. I paid extra for the rounded corners, which was worth it because it made the invitation look so classy. I love love love this suite. I'm beyond impressed, this was well worth the money. My order even arrived early! I would definitely recommend wedding paper divas to anyone getting married."
"I LOVED how well this product turned out! The designers did so well considering my item requests. Each time I've requested something to change on a product, they always go above and beyond my expectations! Thank you WPDs for making my wedding save the dates and invitations magical!"

As the former VP of Clinical Operations for a small biotech, I was introduced to the NUCDF in affiliation with my company's UCD research program. Cindy LeMons, as well as several members of the UCD Consortium provided critical input and expert advice to aid in designing feasible studies for this rare and very special patient population. Earlier this year, I stepped down from my executive position in order to devote more time to my personal endeavors including helping non-profits with high impact potential, like the NUCDF. When I attended my first NUCDF Family Conference in June 2008, I not only learned all the ways the NUCDF has supported UCD patients and their families through research, awareness and education, but I had the rare experience of meeting and listening to the testimonies of dozens of UCD patients, their families and the physicians and nurses who treat them. In my 25 yrs of working in clinical research, I had never witnessed such a collaborative and meaningful exchange of data and information with the sole purpose of finding a cure for UCD. That meeting as well as those before and after were made possible by the NUCDF, as well as the testimonies of how the long, loving arms of this special organization has and continues to reach out to the countless children and adults throughout the country who are affected by UCD. I am privileged and honored to be an active donor and volunteer for the NUCDF.

Product Reviews
January3 Stars Out Of 5January 31, 2001JanuaryThis review was written for Discussion & Lesson Starters.I would recommend this book to someone leading a Jr. High Group or a really active youth group. Most high schoolers don't like to move. They just like to sit there. I know because I am a non-moving teenager. But the ideas in this book require a lot of movement. The games are pretty silly and canned. If you're looking for material to lead a mature high school discussion group, this is not the book for you. I'm not bashing the book, I just didn't want anyone else to spend $15 on something that really wasn't suited to the type of group they are trying to lead.

I'm trying to use a single image as background in a fluid layout / responsive design to create a fake sidebar column.
Although the code in the title works just fine in Chrome (other browsers yet untested), I don't understand why. The W3Schools do not document a use of 3 "parameters". (A German site served as reference at first, but I needed an English reference for this question. That's the first I came up with.)
I'm fine with the code working as long as it is cross-browser. I was going to test browser compatibility only once I'm satisfied with the design in Chrome.
However, when I tried to employ something like:
background-position: -200px right -200px;
and tried different variations, it just failed.
Question: I couldn't find any documentation on this markup in the first place... could this be a bug or is there a valid explanation? If it is valid, could somebody explain to me how I could go about this properly?

i'm going to let this thread marinate for a while and then come back this evening and enjoy my trip into history via the exploits of Lloyd Brady.
This thread has potential to be one of the all time greats. Lloyd Brady, if you are out there, I love you. Don't feel bad about any of this, you have reached legend status, and our lives are all better for it.
I really wish he would come out of the woodwork. I would love to be compared to tom brady and jim carrey.
What if he has been a regular this whole time? What if that is Magnus or something? He's been lying to us about who he is this whole time. Magnus, if that's you please don't be ashamed. Reveal yourself!
I will call him Tom Christmas
Everyone at the office is giving me strange looks, I haven't laughed this hard in a LONG time, please keep this thread rolling! Lloyd Brady...for all our sakes, please have a sense of humor.
If I had photoshop skills I would make him riding the nuke in Doctor Strangelove.
hello demitry
you can't fight in here! This is the war room.
have never heard of Bartholeum-G.
If I didn't feel self conscious about posting the Orson Clapping Gif two days in a row, I would DEFINITELY post it right. friggin. now. Instead, I will insert a textual clap (now with onomatopeia!): CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP.
I have to stop this or else I'm going to be updating my resume tonight.
Does anyone know the title of the original thread that Lloyd came from?
I'm pretty sure the original thread got deleted.
How did he score that seat!?
But this is a truly awe inspiring thread...
Can't wait to see where he will pop up next, Zelig/Forrest Gump style.
I like to think of Lloyd Brady with, like, big eagle's wings, singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyd with, like, an angel band, and I'm in the front row, and I'm hammered drunk.
I had a dream where Lloyd Brady was a dirty old bum, and I was about to sock him in the face because, well, he's a dirty old bum, but then I thought wait, there's something special about him...
If I had any photoshop skills, I would make Lloyd Brady the second shooter, perched atop the grassy knoll. Alas, I have none.
Amazing. Although now I feel sorta bad for asking.
Yeah, I thought it was a little on the poor taste side myself.....but in the end you or I meant no disrespect.
was able to outsmart the Secret Service agents to get a close up kill shot.
It looks like Jack Ruby was able to outsmart the Secret Service to get to poor Lloyd.
Haha yes fuck you Brutus!!
Fucking epic!
Now I'm convinced he's the one that took Brutus to the ground. One picture can lie but not two taken at different times too. Can he play football? We need some help in the secondary
Tehran Conference
Lloyd didn't make it to Tehran.
Definitely looks like Yalta.
Also, your avatar is full of win.
It's almost like where's Waldo.
