The company needs to develop fresh eyes, renewed curiosity and an appetite for growing past the status quo. There are still many new opportunities for sales out there, but they are not in the same old places.
Here are five signs that your sales team is stuck in the status quo:
- You focus on the traditional sales channels you know and work with, but have not mastered the use of other channels such as social marketing or educating key influencers so they become referral sources.
- You understand how to service existing buyers through long-term relationships, but not with emerging buyers or those buying for different reasons.
- You blame the economy, the competition or customers for why sales aren't up, despite competitors who are doing better.
- You believe in your own experience and are unwilling to let others evaluate or provide objective market feedback.
- You rely on traditional tactics, such as trade shows and relying on sales people to reach to new markets and prospects.

Enough with the facade. If ur gonna doit, then...
Enough with the facade. If ur gonna doit, then DO IT Holding it back is only trickin' urself. We r here because something FAILED U,, me,, them,, doesn't matter,, zero is zero.. Many people talk about "not having baggage" but so far the 1's that make this a condition seem 2 be in search of help 2 carry or empty theirs. I got baggage, had baggage & seem 2 keep finding more. Now, what's ur reason 4 being on here? Don't get me wrong, money bags don't count. I'm NOT lookin' 4 a b**tycall, fling, arrangement, affair or escort. However, if u insist on a "1st date", I prefer meeting @ a 99 cent store (of ur choice) What "I" want is a "C-r-a-z-y L-u-v" WOMAN. As I'm not incline 2 hv strong attraction 2 some1 that just uses their hips I am less attracted 2 some1 using their thumbs 2 send love affirmations while sitting across the table from me. I think every1 has had at least 1 experience with getting rear ended, broadsided or head-on collision. In my case, I was an "all over the place kinda guy" BUT, my BIG SISTA "KARMA" corrected my views. (no more auto-pilot 4 me) Things just don't happen, if we want something 2 grow we have 2 nurture it. A loving parent, guardian, friend etc. should be thought of as a catalyst rather than held responsible 4 our actions. 4 those of u who tried it once, twice or even 30 times & it didn't work, maybe it's time 2 stop hangin' @ quiky marts & shop where there's a full service selection. U don't need a green thumb 2 PLANT & NURTURE love. Next time (4 what ever reason) u feel the need 2 say "I don't give a damn" try letting ur heart hear what comes back. However, this most likely will lead 2 flooding. But, just as the rains cleanse mother earth, our tears replenish the soul. (Plants,, Need,, Water) Here's a little more about me: I still play keybrds in a smooth jazz band as well as keys 4 hire. I'm still on fixed income but our gov.allows me 2 "supplement" as long as I pay them a kick back.(aka taxes) I swim 3 times a week @ the gym because it's the only thing that helps keep my breathing under control whether I'm listening 2 the roar of the crowd @ a sporting event, listening 2 crickets or LA fireworks LOL My discipline from 1995 to date is Network Admin, IT Consultant (thanx Bill Gates 4 selling us stained glass windows) Irony:: I repair the stuff this country runs on & I'm broke,, but I'm still here. As uve probably notice by now, I hv "no" marketing skills what so ever, & is most likely the reason I can't seem 2 find a "heart light" in these murky waters. HOWEVER,,, I'm sure I'll find some1 who will allow me 2 hold her close enough that no 1 could ever take her,,, but not so tight that she could never walk away. Bare in mind, I am not a substance, u don't get 2 abuse me. If u've inferred a sense of cynicism in my profile then I've done my job BUT,, "Don't Stop Believing" is still my journey. 1 of my favorite quotes: Give a man a fish & feed him for a day; show him how 2 fish, & feed him 4 a lifetime. (orelay 4 food banks) This site shows us what we "think" we want, but God gives us "what & who" we need. 2 all in search of some1 2 help redefine themselves I say "Fair Winds & Following Seas". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For ALL the lights that shine in the skies at night, & for the many we have not yet imagined.

Atlanta to Nashville, Tuesday, 4 September 2012, Day 92
Lynchburg Jack Daniels Factory[/caption]
Found out last night that Atlanta was not only the birthplace of coke but also of Martin Luther King and that there was a state park and memorial in town so feeling that I should have done this yesterday (should really do more research god knows what other things I may have missed in the last 4 months :-)) this was my first port of call. I need to add the chap who told me about it was also mugged by a large dark fella and relieved of his camera.
So with some trepidation I made my way to the rough side of town fortunately it was early and not too many folk around but when I got there it did not seem the safest place to leave a fully loaded motorcycle with all my current worldly possession on it so took a photograph from the outside punched in Supriya address into the GPS and started of towards Nashville.
Pretty dull day weather dull and overcast scenery nothing special so was a bit bored when I saw a sign to the Jack Daniels Distillery so change of plan quick detour to there. Just as I started to head for the new destinations the heavens opened and it was pissing down I was only a couple of miles away from JD so decided to push on as these rain storms end as quick as they start so when I arrived it had stopped raining but I was sopping wet. There was a tour starting as I walked in so rushed onto that as it was free! Rammed my wet gear in a locker and spent the next hour or so being shown around the distillery. Very interesting strangest fact is that Lynchburg where the distillery is located is in a dry county so they are not allowed to sell their own product there and we could not sample the goods either because of this all they could offer us was a lemonade (Good for me as I am still on the wagon so that a month since I have had a drink promised myself a beer when I get to Houston with John to celebrate the successful completion of the first part of my trip!)
Pulled my wet gear out of the locker and headed for Nashville drying myself as I went along roads and scenery more pleasant than earlier that day and I finally pulled into Supriya driveway not sure at what time as I had lost or gained an hour between Georgia and Tennessee. I had not seen Supriya since I was about 16 so that more than 30 years ago fortunately she had not changed so was able to recognise her :-). Met the family so that was Neal, Rajiv, Maja and the 2 dogs Max and Riley. Straight to dinner table so guessing my timing was out as usual and a pleasant evening getting to know the Patel family :-)

Distress Embossing Powder Tutorial

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Learn embossing powder techniques to make handmade cards that really pop! Distress embossing powders can add dimension and texture to your paper crafts like no other technique can. Learn how to use embossing powder in this video from Marti Wills.
- Bold stamp
- Cardstock
- Versamark
- Distress embossing powders in a variety of colors
- Heat gun
- Distress inks
- Foam blending tool
- Ink up your stamp with Versamark and stamp onto your cardstock.
- Shake the embossing powders well and take the lids off.
- Using just a small pinch of powder between your thumb and finger carefully begin adding the powder colors where you want them to "paint" your stamped image. Just move your finger slightly so the powder falls out a tiny bit at a time.
- Once your image is covered lift it up and lightly tap the underside to bounce the powders around in place so the entire image is covered. Lightly tap off the excess.
- Heat the powders with a heat gun. They do not melt and turn glossy like regular embossing powders – just watch for a slight bit of movement that indicates they have melted.
- To ink the edges use coordinating distress ink and an ink blending foam and tool.

You're welcome! If your thesis on the Fed is true, then any tapering would serve as a catalyst for MKL.

Thanks for the compliment. Not sure if the decision to split or not could be labeled "wise" or "foolish". It's simply a decision mgmt made. They probably have arrived at the same conclusion that BRK.A, AAPL, and GOOG have; and that is that splitting stock only serves to create more volume and volatility and creates value for only those that make money on trading commission.

Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I'm actually curious about your question on unpaid losses as well. The one thing I can think of is that unpaid losses are heavily subjective and based on many managerial assumptions. Markel is traditionally (and refreshingly) very conservative in their reserves, so maybe Gayner's point is to not count this into the equation. Further, I think the reason for this may be that these unpaid losses on the balance sheet have already been debited on the income statement and therefore have already been reflected in the financial results in prior periods, so that the actual cash "payment" is just a follow-through on what has already been recorded. So it would be double-counting, in a sense (not sure, but I'm speculating on Tom Gayner's reasoning).
One thing to note that I didn't include in the article is leverage. With Alterra's investments now included with MKL's, Gayner will have significant leverage with which to grow book value. Investments stand at $14.5B (Gross) currently, and SH Equity of $6.3B. If Gayner can compound those investments at 10% per year, that would mean a 23% growth in book. This is fundamental to the thesis above and should have been included.Oct 24, 2013. 12:45 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
Oracle: 40% Upside And More For Patient Investors [View article]
I mention in the article that the best case is probably not realistic. Is it possible? Of course. Probable, no. The base case FCF CAGR is actually better for the last ten years than it is since 2009, so I consider the use of the smaller growth figure to be conservative. In the end, do we know what the growth will be? No, but the mechanics of a DCF model require that input.
It seems that for every article I write, I get the same arguments about 1) discount rate and 2) organic growth. And I continue to disagree. No one has been able to convince me why only organic growth rates should be used, as if growth via acquisitions were some sort of "second class" cash flow. Where would Warren Buffett be today without the growth through acquisitions? If I were to value Berkshire in the 1970s, 80s,90s, would i only value the textile business? Of course not! wouldn't I value the company based on quantitative factors in addition to the fact that it had the BEST capital allocator in the world at the helm? Ellison has proven to be a good capital allocator through the years and I'm simply basing my valuation on those facts.
Discount rate: I admit looking at a discount rate of 10% in a vacuum looks low, but I use the same discount rate across all my valuations, thereby regulating the discount rate to what it truly is: a measuring stick. At the very most, a hurdle rate. Using different discount rates across different asset classes only serves to muddy the waters of valuation. Why should one stream of cash flows be discounted at a different rate than the next? It is not a risk offset. That's what MOS is for.
As stated in the article, margins will expand as revenue from renewals becomes a larger percentage of the total.
I'm switching valuation methodologies simply because of time and real estate. I could've easily written another 1,000 words and clearly spelled out each methodology and scenario, but I think the readers and the editors both are educated enough to get the gist, and I hope they appreciate the conciseness.
I don't agree with your law of large numbers thesis. See Berkshire, Microsoft, Apple, etc. All 3 have growth ahead and are much larger than ORCL.Oct 19, 2013. 10:40 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Stonepine Capital Management Sends Letter to Board of Directors of Cornerstone Therapeutics, Inc. Says Offer From Majority Owner Chiesi Too Low; Urges Independent Directors to Obtain Significantly Higher Price in an Effort to Protect Minority Shareholders Business Wire SAUSALITO, Calif. -- February 27, 2013 Stonepine Capital Management, LLC ("Stonepine") sent a letter to the Board of Directors of Cornerstone Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cornerstone") on Monday, February 25. In the letter, Stonepine expressed serious concerns for the minority shareholders of Cornerstone as it relates to a potential transaction with its majority owner, Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A ("Chiesi"). The full text of the letter follows: February 25, 2013 VIA ELECTRONIC DELIVERY & OVERNIGHT MAIL Board of Directors c/o Andrew Powell, Corporate Secretary Cornerstone Therapeutics, Inc. 1255 Crescent Green Drive, Suite 250 Cary, NC 27518 To the Directors of Cornerstone Therapeutics: We are the principals of Stonepine Capital Management, LLC ("Stonepine"), a health-care focused investment firm. We are minority shareholders of Cornerstone Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cornerstone") and own 700,000 shares. We note the recent proposal by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A ("Chiesi") in which Chiesi proposes to acquire 100% of the Common Stock of Cornerstone that it does not already own for $6.40 to $6.70 per share in cash. As minority shareholders of Cornerstone, we appreciate that Chiesi also sees tremendous value in Cornerstone and is interested in acquiring the company. However, we have serious concerns for the minority shareholders as it relates to this potential transaction: 1. The Chiesi proposal grossly undervalues Cornerstone. Assuming the high end of the proposed acquisition range, or $6.70 per share, Cornerstone would be sold for approximately 1.5 times expected 2013 revenues on an enterprise value basis (taking into consideration the company's debt) and 1.1 times expected 2013 revenues on a market capitalization basis. In a sector where companies and pharmaceutical products are often sold in the range of 3 to 5 times revenues, Chiesi's opening offer range is much too low. For example, an offer for Cornerstone at 3 times expected 2013 revenues on an enterprise value basis would constitute an offer value far more typical for the sector, equating to an approximate $16 per share acquisition price for Cornerstone. 2. Wall Street believes the Chiesi proposal is a "low-ball offer" that "should be rejected by Cornerstone shareholders." A recent research report by Ladenburg Thalmann ("Ladenburg"), the only sell-side firm that covers Cornerstone, concludes that the current offer is a "low ball offer" and "should be rejected by Cornerstone shareholders." Ladenburg conducted "Sum of Parts," "Peak Sales" and "Discounted Cash Flow" analyses of the company, resulting in valuations ranging from $11.37 to $17.19 per share, with a $14 per share price target ultimately assigned to the company. Chiesi states in their offer letter that "Cornerstone would be best positioned for long term growth and development as a private company and would benefit substantially from the synergies and shared resources that would result from this transaction with Chiesi." Chiesi is not offering to share enough of this benefit with Cornerstone's minority shareholders. 3. Chiesi has effectively blocked the ability of Cornerstone to run an auction process with other potential bidders or conduct traditional "market checks" regarding the fair acquisition value of Cornerstone. We understand that Cornerstone is deemed a "Controlled Company" within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as more than 50% (in this case 60%) of the voting power of the company is held by Chiesi. In addition, Chiesi has certain control rights through Cornerstone's Certificate of Incorporation, namely, the ability to block any substantial sale or disposition of Cornerstone assets. We also understand that Craig Collard, Cornerstone's CEO, is subject to a Stockholders Agreement with Chiesi, which requires Mr. Collard to vote his quite substantial ownership of Cornerstone in favor of a transaction whereby Chiesi or its affiliates would acquire all of the outstanding stock of Cornerstone. Lastly, Chiesi made the following quite clear in its offer letter to Cornerstone: "Please note we are interested in acquiring the remaining shares of Cornerstone and we have no interest in a disposition of our controlling interest or in considering any other strategic transaction involving Cornerstone." This collectively has created a situation whereby Chiesi is the only feasible acquirer of Cornerstone. As a Board you will be unable to effectively conduct a competitive auction process or conduct meaningful "market checks" to ensure that the minority shareholders are obtaining the best value for a potential sale to Chiesi. Consequently, it is incumbent upon the independent Directors of the Board to ensure that a fair value for Cornerstone is negotiated with Chiesi compared to Cornerstone remaining a stand-alone entity. We are in favor of Cornerstone remaining a stand-alone entity if the independent Directors of Cornerstone cannot obtain a substantial improvement in the offer terms from Chiesi. 4. We are concerned as to whether Cornerstone has established sufficient governance procedures within the Board of Directors to conduct a robust and fair negotiation process with Chiesi. We note from your proxy statement of April, 2012 that the Board has determined that Mr. Codeanne, Mr. Enright, Mr. Harper, Mr. Heffernan and Mr. Stephan are "independent directors" as it relates to Nasdaq rules, indicating that such persons do not have a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director. However, as a Director of Chiesi Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA, a subsidiary of Chiesi, we believe that Mr. Stephan is highly conflicted in the current situation and should be recused from all deliberations and negotiations regarding the Chiesi proposal. This is particularly important given that a group of truly independent Directors should be solely responsible for negotiating a potential transaction with Chiesi in order to manage the obvious conflicts of interest present in this situation. We note from your February 25 press release that the Board has established a Special Committee comprised of five independent Directors in order to coordinate a response to Chiesi. However, you have not disclosed the Director composition of the Special Committee. We believe it is important to disclose to Cornerstone's minority shareholders the composition of the Special Committee and that it be comprised of truly independent Directors that are not conflicted. 5. Chiesi has unique access to advanced, confidential information regarding Cornerstone; therefore, the minority shareholders are at a substantial disadvantage in evaluating any deal terms. Chiesi's offer letter states that they have "…conducted an extensive review of Cornerstone based upon publicly available information…" In fact, Chiesi likely has broad confidential access to Cornerstone's improving operational and financial results well in advance of Cornerstone's quarterly reports to its public shareholders. For example, two of Cornerstone's Board members are key executives at Chiesi: Dr. Anton Giorgio Failla, Head of Corporate Development and Marco Vecchia, Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs. And a third Cornerstone Board member, Robert M Stephan, serves as a Board member of Chiesi Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Chiesi. These three Cornerstone Board members all have insider access to Cornerstone's confidential information while at the same time performing key roles for Chiesi. In addition, Chiesi is the licensor of two of Cornerstone's key products: Curosurf and Bethkis. By way of the related product license and distribution agreements between the two companies, Chiesi has unique advanced knowledge regarding the performance metrics for these products. These dynamics put Chiesi in the advantageous position of being able to quickly evaluate and bid on Cornerstone's improving business, to the potential detriment of minority shareholders. We sincerely hope that the Board puts the Company's minority shareholders on an equal footing with Chiesi as it relates to the negotiation of Chiesi's acquisition proposal. Summary In summary, we view the current offer from Chiesi as grossly undervaluing Cornerstone. Furthermore, we believe that the construction of the company's ownership and Board create unique challenges to navigating this process in a way that is fair and equitable to the minority shareholders. We appeal to the independent Directors of the company to thoughtfully consider these issues in representing the minority shareholders of Cornerstone. We would be happy to discuss this further with you, or any subset of the Board, at your convenience. Best regards, Timothy P. Lynch Jon M. Plexico Managing Member Managing Member Stonepine Capital Management, LLC Stonepine Capital Management, LLC Contact: Stonepine Capital Management, LLC Matt Carroll, 541-647-5664 firstname.lastname@example.com

FORT WAYNE — Difficulty getting inside, along with their opponents' athleticism, made for a difficult Friday for the Columbia City Eagles boys basketball team.
One season after defeating Fort Wayne Northrop, the Eagles fell to the Bruins by a final of 44-24.
There were times when the game was close. Northrop had just a 9-8 lead after one quarter, and Columbia City cut the margin to 20-18 in the third quarter. But overall, it was not enough.
Whitley County's Community Christmas Celebration began last night at 6 p.m. and will continue tonight from 6 to 8 p.m.
The event is free and features a live Nativity on the Courthouse lawn and music performed by various residents inside the Courthouse.
Pictured, the Community Choir serenades those visiting the Courthouse during the celebration. The choir is directed by Anita Harris.
COLUMBIA CITY — A Churubusco teenager pleaded guilty Monday and received a four-year sentence for several drug-related crimes.
Timothy L.K. Thalman, Jr.., 19, pleaded guilty to possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
Judge James Heuer gave him a two-year sentence for the first charge, and a one-year sentence for each of the last two, all consecutive.
Two of those four years will be served at the Whitley County Jail, and the other two will be suspended.
COLUMBIA CITY — While Columbia City's Wastewater Department may be considering a rate increase due to poor financial standing, Columbia City Clerk-Treasurer Rosie Coyle said the city's electric department has a good cash-flow.
"The electric department is in good shape. That's one we don't have to worry about," Coyle said.
While the department is doing well financially, the city is still conserving funds for upcoming projects, such as the fiber network the city may install on the current electrical poles.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Heavy snow continues to fall this morning across most of southern Indiana, and a second wave of snowfall is anticipated for later today. Road conditions around the state currently are passable, but motorists should use extreme caution while driving.
COLUMBIA CITY — A Columbia City man pleaded not guilty to multiple drug-dealing charges in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday. Charlie S. Ryan, 21, has two charges of dealing in a Schedule I, II or III controlled substance, and two charges of possession.
He pleaded not guilty at his initial hearing and will be represented by Brad Voelz at his next court appearance, Dec. 30. The two drug-dealing charges are Class B felonies, which carry a maximum sentence of 20 years of incarceration. The possession charges are Class D felonies, which have a three-year maximum sentence.
SOUTH WHITLEY — The departure of a small town physician from his practice had South Whitley residents offering well wishes to Dr. James Hanus.
Hanus had been the physician for numerous community families in the South Whitley area with the Parkview Physicians Group.
Several comments posted on social media websites expressed their gratitude to the long-time doctor of more than 30 years. Statements such as, "you'll be missed," and "you were the best doctor I ever had," resonate with many community members.
Parkview Hospital officials released a statement regarding Hanus' departure.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Park Board reversed its decision to close the sledding hill at DeVol Field after an outcry from the public.
More than 30 people were present at a public hearing Thursday, with nine taking the podium to voice their opinions — all in favor of reopening the hill.
Before the public spoke, the city explained its reasoning for closing the park, a decision made on a 3-2 vote at last week's Park Board meeting based on liability and safety.
SOUTH WHITLEY — It took a few ideas, some brainstorming and a community pulling together to plan South Whitley's Home for the Holidays event.
The downtown Christmas celebration will take place Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m., and will feature ornament making, cookie decorating, food, a live Nativity, music and a ceremonially tree lighting.
One particular event will have a winning announcement made at 6 p.m. — the town's wreath contest.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County officials met Tuesday to discuss CEDIT spending for the next two years.
However, discussion was held once again on the need for financial disclosure from Whitley County Humane Shelter leaders.
"We haven't had any sort of a report in months," said Whitley County Commissioner Tom Rethlake.
Representing the Commissioners at the Whitley County Council meeting, Rethlake recapped the concerns the Commissioners had with financially supporting the shelter.

Just to continue stirring the pot.
Vintage racing is was this race was all about. How could Mr. Perlman put on a race for vintage vehicles to run in and have a shit load of fun? The easiest was was to do it as a rally. Lots of long paved non-timed sections, no course marking, and no pre-running. The problem was that there just wasn't enough race ready vintage cars & bikes out there to make it economically feasible. Additional classes were opened up to attract more entries. Some weirdo fuel fuel class, a class for big "Adventure" bikes and a class for "modern day" race cars and pre-runners. First year was ton's of fun and lots of great old cars and vet drivers and riders but still not enough to really make it worth while for the promoters. Next 2 years continue to open it up more for additional non-vintage stuff and Dust to Gloryites, still trying to make a buck. There continues to be "Country Clubber" car guys who are spending money to restore old cars and there are also more of them running their pre-runners. Rubby shows up with his full blown state of the art Dakar race car and he shares the driving with his dad and Clyde Stacy. The further they get away from vintage classes and closer to a rally the faster and more serious this race will become.
This year, I'm personally involved with 3 cars that haven't run this event before. One is the classic Scoop Vessels BFG Blazer with a multiple Baja 1000 winner (both bikes and cars) as a driver, one is a 4 -seater buggy with another multiple Baja 1000 winner driving his wife, best friend and his wife, and the other is a former 2 time Baja winning full blown Trophy Truck with a driver who simply wants more seat time. Additionally, the classic Bob Gordon entry will once again be raced as hard as it was when it won the 1000 in 98 and the last 3 years in NORRA. The same with the Blazer and the Trophy Truck. Tim & Troy Herbst will be racing both of their Mike Smith built pre-runners and I know that they will be at about a 70 to 80% pace of a Trophy Truck. Its not going to get any more relaxed out there on the course that's for sure.

The Palestinian Authority opposed a moment of silence at the London Olympics for the 40th anniversary of the Palestinian "Black September" terrorist group's killing of 11 Israeli team members in Munich, Palestinian Media Watch reported.
On July 25, the PA's daily publication said in a headline that sports "are meant for peace, not for racism." Jibril Rajoub, President of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, wrote International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge thanking him for not granting Israel's request of a moment of silence at the opening ceremony.
"Sports are a bridge to love, interconnection, and spreading of peace among nations; it must not be a cause of division and spreading of racism between them [nations]," Rajoub, wrote in the letter, which appeared in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida.
The PA publication does not refer to the Munich murders as terrorism, simply calling the events of 1972 "the Munich Operation."

Despite the heavy Catholicism in Ireland on Sunday all supermarkets are open.

Good for you, glad you are enjoying your trip here and no bothered by a bit of rain. It does stop sometimes....................I promise

Southeast Asia Theater
Sharia (in)justice in Aceh (not just Brunei)
A sickening story in the NY Daily News May 8 relates how eight "vigilantes" in Indonesia's autonomous enclave of Aceh attacked a 25-year-old widow they believed was about to have "adulturous" sex (despite the fact that her husband is deceased!), gang-raped her, brutally abused both her and her putative boyfriend, covering them in sewage—then marched her over the local sharia court, where she was sentencted to be "caned." That's publicly whipped with a cane, nine strokes for the woman and putative lover apiece, the gang-rape and sewage affair apparently being deemed insufficient punishment. Note that the woman and putative lover were "about to" have sex—that is, they never even consummated the act. At least we are told that "[p]rominent Islamic leader Teungku Faisal Ali said he supported the caning, but that he thinks the rapists should be treated more harshly than the couple."
Philippines: Moro autonomy deal signed
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) officially ended four decades of armed struggle in the Philippines on March 27, when it formally signed a pact with the government on regional autonomy that had been agreed on in 2012. Under the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, the MILF drops its claims for a separate state in the southern region of Mindanao and agrees to parliamentary self-rule in the new Bangsamoro autonomous region, to be established by 2016. A local police force will assume law enforcement functions from the Philippine police and military. The region will not be under an officially secular government. Sharia law will apply only to Muslims and only for civil cases, not for criminal offences. The MILF, with some 10,000 armed followers, will "gradually" decommission its forces and put the weapons "beyond use." The Bangsamoro, or Moro Nation, will replace another autonomous government that was brokered in the 1990s with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). (AFP, March 27; Philippine Daily Inquirer, March 26)
Occupy Phnom Penh dispersed
Four people were killed when Cambodian military police opened fire on garment factory workers marching to demand higher pay in a Phnom Penh industrial zone Jan. 3. Hours later, police dispersed a protest camp that supporters of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) had maintained since mid-December in the city's Freedom Park. The move came as the government announced emergence measures barring public protests by the CNRP, which accuses the Hun Sen government of rigging elections held in July. The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) accused the CNRP of using the deadly street clash as a "pretext" to suspend talks over the impasse. The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Huamn Rights LICADHO decired the police violence as "horrific." (AFP, AP, Jan. 4; Reuters, Xinhua, Jan. 3)
Golden Triangle opium boom
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in its newly released annual Southeast Asia Opium Survey (PDF) finds that opium production in Burma continued to increase in 2013—up 26% to an estimated 870 metric tons. This is the highest amount since the UN began keeping track in 2002. In 1999, the Burmese regime promised to eradicate opium production by 2014, but production has increased every year since 2006. The UNODC report acknowledges that eradication efforts have failed to address the political and economic factors that drive farmers to grow opium in the first place. With poppy fetching 19 times more than rice, struggling peasants have few other options to make a living.
Blood jade empire as Burma warlords diversify
An in-depth Sept. 29 Reuters report on the multi-billion-dollar but very murky jade trade in Burma raises the specter of "blood jade"—without actually using the phrase. Almost half of all jade exports are "unofficial"—apparently spirited over the border into China with little or no formal taxation, representing billions of dollars in lost revenues. Official statistics are said to indicate that Burma produced more than 43 million kilograms of jade in fiscal year 2011-12, worth a low-balled $4.3 billion. Yet official exports of jade that year stood at only $34 million. (It isn't explained how all that "unofficial" jade made it into the production stats in the first place.) China doesn't publicly report how much jade it imports from Burma, but jade is included in official imports of precious stones and metals, which in 2012 were worth $293 million—a figure too small to account for billions of dollars in Burmese jade.
Indonesia threatens West Papua 'Freedom Flotilla'
A three-vessel Freedom Flotilla carrying some 50 West Papuan and indigenous Australian protesters bound for the restive Indonesian territory of West Papua began its voyage from Queensland, Australia, this past week—to the dismay of both Austrailian and Indonesian authorities. The protestors, who hope "to reconnect two ancient cultures and to reveal the barriers that keep human rights abuses in West Papua from the attention of the international community," expect to make landfall in early September. "The initiative of Indigenous Elders of Australia and West Papua will build global solidarity and highlight the abuses of human rights and land rights carried out under the occupations of their lands on an international stage," the statement on the Flotilla's website reads.
Burma marks 1988 pro-democracy uprising
Public commemorations are taking place in Burma to mark the 25th anniversary of the uprisings which launched the country's pro-democracy movement—the first time the anniversary has been openly commemorated in Rangoon. Hundreds of thousands took part in the "8888" protests, which began on Aug. 8, 1988. But six weeks later, at least 3,000 protesters were dead, thousands more imprisoned, and the military firmly in control. Aung San Suu Kyi, who emerged as the leader of the pro-democracy movement and is now the opposition leader, participated in the commemorations. A new activist formation, 88 Generation, has emerged to coordinate the remembrance. The current reformist government has tacitly approved the commemoration, even though some of the former generals serving in it are implicated in the violence. (BBC News, AAP, Aug. 8)
Chinese mining interests take hit in Philippines
The Supreme Court of the Philippines on July 23 issued a "temporary environment protection order" against 94 "small-scale mines" that extract nickel in Zambales, Central Luzon region. Activists who brought the petition claim that among the "small" mines are at least five fronts for giant nickel miners from China. The mines are operating under small-scale mining permits (SSMPs) that can be granted by provincial authorities in special minahang bayan, or People's Mining Areas, under a new policy instated by the Benigno Aquino administration. But local peasants charge that the mines are operating outside the designated areas, and go essentially unregulated, causing grave pollution to local waters. The Chinese parent companies, said to really be a single coordinated venture, are identified as Jiangxi Rare Earth & Metals Tungsten Group, Wei-Wei Group, and Nihao Mineral Resources Inc. They set up the five "small mines" through Filipino dummy companies, bribing officials to look the other way. The SSMP policy, enacted by executive order last year, has sparked a new mineral rush in the Philippines. (Philippine Star, July 24; Inquirer Mindanao, July 15, 2012)

USC football: Barkley is 'going to be better than all of them'September 14th, 2009, 12:44 pm by Michael Lev, staff writer
During his tenure at USC, Steve Sarkisian coached NFL-bound quarterbacks Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, John David Booty and Mark Sanchez. Three were first-round draft picks, and two won Heisman Trophies.
The Washington coach said none of them could have done what Matt Barkley is doing as a freshman.
"He's exceeding expectations of everybody but himself. In four years, this guy's going to be better than all of them," Sarkisian said.
"He has maturity, mentally and physically. He has all the tools to make all the throws. He has the escapability. He has the football knowledge to change plays at the line of scrimmage. And it's not too big for him."

66 year old man | Seattle, WA, USA | Seeking women 50-65 within 10 miles
Now in a relationship & trying to close out Match
I am now in a relationship and can't figure out how to make Match let go.I have survived one war, been robbed at gunpoint, abducted at knife point, circumnavigated the globe and published more than a million words in more than a dozen periodicals. I prefer the company of bright people and have a passion for history. I spent a long time as a print journalist and a public relations practitioner and can hold up my end in a conversation about almost anything. My interests are wide ranging and I like to find that in other people I love the company of beautiful women, but I don't date children.. I have been told I am handsome. I don't necessarily believe that, but if I'm lucky you will. My search is for a woman who likes to travel, is physically active but not necessarily competitive, is tremendously bright and has an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. Women who make me laugh are treasures. I believe that life is an adventure to be lived and every day can be an adventure. I am looking for someone to share adventures large and small. Wit is more important than humor, but a sense of humor is essential. If you sometimes laugh out loud at the absurdity of life, you are my kind of person. I give extra points to women who are tall, especially tall women who like standing out in the crowd. My favorite cities are Paris, Riga, Kathmandu, New York, Istanbul, Chicago, Seattle, Puerto Vallarta and Port Townsend, not necessarily in that order. My favorite village is Ubud, in Bali. Favorite books: Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Maltese Falcon, The Crack in the Edge of the World, The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, Catch-22, Genius - A biography of Richard Feynman, The Time Traveler's Wife Favorite writers: Mark Twain, Simon Winchester, James Gleick (biographies), Barbara Tuchman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, L. Sprague deCamp, Dashiel Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Dorothy Sayers, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Isaac Asimov, H.L. Mencken, Gore Vidal Favorite Movies: The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Top Hat, Singing in the Rain, The Artist, Up in the Air, M, The Magnificent Seven, Tombstone, Galaxy Quest, Earth Girls are Easy, French comedies generally, The Thin Man series, Lonesome Dove Favorite living actors/actresses: Gerard Depardieu, Sophie Marceau, Catherine Deneuve, Robert Duval, Kevin Spacey, Sandra Bullock, Sean Connery, Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Basinger, Judy Dench, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, Hugh Laurie, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones I live alone and always put the toilet seat down anyway. Paper should come off the top of the roll. I like opening doors for ladies and sending them flowers for special occasions or no occasion at all. I like exchanging small gifts with close friends "just because." I tend to hang on to my friends, some of them for more than five decades (yes, kindergarten). I am a loyal, thoughtful and, when necessary, protective friend. I like real wood fires, swimming outdoors, snorkeling, walking through unfamiliar neighborhoods admiring the architecture, hiking, dining (as opposed to eating) and trying new things. Favorite Quotes: Be just and fear nothing. For every complex problem there is a solution that is direct, simple and wrong. Chance favors the prepared mind. Always tell the truth; this will gratify your friends and astonish others. Act so as to bring out the best in others and thereby yourself. I am not a poetry guy, yet I have a surprising number of poetry books in my much-too-large home library and can sometimes recite the strangest things. I prefer independent travel: it is cheaper, you can follow your whim and your interaction with locals is much more rewarding. I am (two fingers upthrust, right hand over heart) trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and irreverent. I wish for world peace. I don't reply to winks or messages without a photo.

So last Sunday I caught a screening of the film 'A Tale of Samurai Cooking – A True Love Story' which is showing as part of the Japanese Film Festival – Sydney and Parramatta.
It was a beautifully-shot, light-hearted drama set during Japan's Edo Period, about a talented young cook named Haru who processes an extraordinary palette for flavours. Impressed by her talent she is convinced by the famous chef Dennai to marry his son Yasunobu, the heir of the Funkai family, a prestigious family of Samuriai chefs that serve the Kaga domain. The film centres on how Haru teaches her husband, who is very disinterested in being a chef – the joys of cooking and the skills of creating fine cuisine.
Overall, I had a great experience at the Japanese Film Festival at Events Cinema George St. as they showed the film in one of the larger screens. I also was surprised by the diversity of the crowd present – It wasn't just the Otaku crowd you would come to expect, but many younger and older people people coming from different cultural backgrounds, coming as groups and also with their families.
I enjoyed my time so much at the Festival that I plan on going again tonight to watch 'Tokyo Tribe', a film about Tokyo's underbelly set as a rap battle. Interesting, VERY IN-TERESTING…
The Japanese Film Festival is currently running in Sydney and Parramatta from 13 – 23 November, so you might wanna hurry to catch a screening before it's gone.
Tickets are:
$18 – Adult
$15 – Concession
$75 – 5 film pass
$13.50 – Group Booking (10+)
If you would like more info about the festival, please visit their website at japanesefilmfestival.net

The Ideal Praise-to-Criticism Ratio
Which is more effective in improving team performance: using positive feedback to let people know when they're doing well, or offering constructive comments to help them when they're off track? New research suggests that this is a trick question. The answer, as one might intuitively expect, is that both are important. But the real question is — in what proportion?
Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman
Notes that the study included 60 leadership teams who were closely studied to determine the quantity of positive and negative comments so that researchers could determine "effectiveness." Researchers arrived at this value based on customer satisfaction figures along with financial performance.
Researchers found that 5.6 positive comments to 1 negative comment was the average statistic for the best performing leadership teams. So, the most successful teams had a ratio of about 6:1.
The normal performing team had almost 2:1, meaning two positive comments for every negative. The lowest teams had about 3 negative comments for every positive one.
Apparently, minimal negative feedback and maximal positive feedback produces the best results. A couple of instances when negative feedback might be appropriate are: when a leader needs to really grab an employee's attention or when a manager needs to combat complacency.
The overarching conclusion here is that the best way to motivate, instill loyalty, boost performance, and maximize productivity is through positive feedback and comments.
Darin's note: A recent scientific study reported that negative feedback can produce positive results, but it's important to consider the distinction between that and the current study. Yes, negative feedback can produce positive results in some circumstances, but only positive feedback possesses true power to motivate.

Adjective forms of the word include "extrapolative" and "extrapolatory." The word "extrapolate" is sometimes confused with deduction, and extrapolation is confused with induction, hypothesis and generalization. The origin of the word dates back to between 1832 and 1835 from the roots "extra" and "interpolate."

The magic is in the impossible accomplishments born of wool, a needle, and a steady hand.
Thanks to a combination of tax increases and steady growth, state revenues have been growing for 12 consecutive quarters.
1520s (replacing earlier steadfast), from stead + adjectival suffix -y (2), perhaps on model of Middle Dutch, Middle Low German stadig. Old English had stæððig "grave, serious," and stedig "barren," but neither seems to be the direct source of the modern word. Old Norse cognate stoðugr "steady, stable" was closer in sense.
Originally of things; of persons or minds from c.1600. Meaning "working at an even rate" is first recorded in 1540s. Steady progress is etymologically a contradiction in terms. Steady state first attested 1885; as a cosmological theory (propounded by Bondi, Gold, and Hoyle), it is attested from 1948.
1520s, from steady (adj.). Related: Steadied; steadying.
"one's boyfriend or girlfriend," 1897 from steady (adj.); to go steady is 1905 in teenager slang.

Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 4/30/13
ATLANTA -- The Braves have placed reliever Luis Ayala on the 15-day disabled list as he deals with an anxiety disorder, the team announced Tuesday evening. Ayala, who the organization traded for earlier this month in a deal with the Orioles, has no history of anxiety issues, but general manager Frank Wren said its a reaction to the news that the 35-year-old was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. "With that high blood pressure he just didn't feel well," Wren said. "(He) went to the emergency room in Colorado, was checked, went back on the next day and I think he started getting very anxious about just the way he was feeling and wasn't able to see a lot of relief." Ayala took the mound against the Rockies last week while feeling the effects of the high blood pressure, but Wren called that the "last straw." The Braves (16-9) flew Ayala home soon after. He did not make the trip with the team to Detroit. Ayala has been put on high blood pressure medication by Braves doctors....

27 year old man | Corona, CA, USA | Seeking women 19-24 within 5 miles
Love is just a chemical, but *we* give it meaning with each beat of our hearts. I don't believe in soulmates, but I believe two can love.
I'll be honest: I'm not even shy with women, generally, but I have a few close friends and very little contact with people outside my circles. I'm not a party guy, and I don't believe in casual flings anyway —which isn't to say I've been presented the opportunity— . I'm a decent looking, reasonably intelligent guy looking for someone to adore for as long as either party is willing. As a word of caution, I'm generally a quiet guy, but once I find common ground, I can go on for a while, and I'm a wordy little bastard at times. Still, only so much news can keep me talking week after week. As a policy, I cannot text anyone morning till midnight in a constant all-day conversation. My last relationship involved a partner who expected me to text her at every waking hour. Apart from this cutting into everything I did, once we were physically together on a date, we often maintained awkward silences, having already discussed everything to death over text messages. I do not intend to re-live this. This is not to say that I won't have a conversation over texts, but provided the situation isn't life-threatening, I'd prefer it not last more than an hour. That said, I'm an easygoing guy. A creature of habit, though I know I'll be doing different things while in any romantic relationship. I'm open-minded, but bear in mind I've never really gone to clubs or bars, and I can't dance to save my life. So if you suggest these things, be prepared for me to hesitate, though I'll probably say "yes". As to things I like, I'm an aspiring movie buff, hopeless computer addict, and a decent 3D Animator. I do, however, enjoy walks or hikes as well. If you want to know a thing or two about my value system, like I said, I'm pretty open-minded. I believe the right to swing my arm ends at the other guy's nose. If it's not hurting anyone but yourself, I think you're entitled to do it. This goes for the legalization of drugs, the allowance for things like polygamy (though I'm not personally interested in such a relationship) or even things like euthanasia. I'm for gay rights, especially given two of my best friends are gay, and I myself am somewhat bi-curious. And as the profile already describes, I am an atheist agnostic. This means I believe in no gods, but I can't say with absolute certainty that none exist at all. I am not, however, anti-theist, however much I tend to find religion itself repulsive. I typically leave religious beliefs off the table in conversation unless someone else brings them up. I believe in a strict separation of church and state, but I will never approve of any legislation or legislative body that would criminalize organized religion. I believe in educating people against religious influence, but any society worth having allows people to believe whatever they will.

Riverside Community College District, Riverside, CA
With music, I'm less about bands and more about soundtracks. Love orchestral, love good rock. It needs to move me, and associate with something. TV needs to be big and interesting to grab me. Something like "Dexter," or —more recently— Falling Skies.
I'm big on watching movies and generally open to ideas. Sometimes just wandering around talking works for me. I also watch a lot of videos online, but with friends I like getting out of the house to change the pace.
Last thing I read was probably an article online about the discovery of the Higgs Boson Particle. Last BOOK? Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion". Yeah, I know. I promise I'm not a broken record with the atheism thing. Also enjoy Harry Potter.
