Love, laughter, caring and sharing.
At this moment Lord I turn my thoughts to you.
I will leave aside my chores and preoccuptions.
I will take rest and refreshment in your presence Lord.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.

Title: Failure to bloom of Tecoma stans in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We Planted a Yellow Esperanza shrub 2 years ago that was blooming when we purchased it. It bloomed very little last year and not at all this year. It looks very healthy and each year gets about 10 feet tall. It has very green leaves and when we prune it it develops 2 branches for every one we cut. How do we make this plant bloom?
Please see our previous answer on the same subject, also in Central Texas. Your problem is likely not transplant shock; however, the plant is probably still developing roots and getting the energy to bloom. If you are fertilizing it, especially with a nitrogen-heavy fertilizer like you would use on grass, stop. Most perennial plants need a few years of maturity before they are ready to bloom in earnest. Often, plant producers will force blooms on a plant to make it more saleworthy, but that doesn't mean it is ready to bloom on its own. Do check the drainage around the roots of your plant, although that doesn't sound like the problem. A little more patience and a little less fertilizer and we believe it will rise to bloom again.

1. Mitigating Technology Implementation Risks: Embedding Software Engineering and Controls Practices into the Organization's Project Structure ETM 5121 Project Proposal Joseph Robinson July 3, 2004 Joseph Robinson Page 1 5/13/2010
1.0: Introduction A Catalyst for Change The Enron and WorldCom corporate scandals have forever changed the way organizations will conduct business operations. Reason: These events have provided the catalyst for the creation of government regulations, appropriately named Sarbanes-Oxley after the two members of the U.S. Congress and Senate who were instrumental in the bill's passing, mandating corporate governance; these new regulations culminate with the attestation by CEO's and CFO's to the integrity and accuracy of the particular organization's financial reporting. At the core of this integrity, however, lies a company's information system: the source, repository, and reporting mechanism of financial data for most publicly held organizations. Accordingly, a proposal that seeks to mitigate, or at best minimize, the risk of newly implemented information systems' data integrity is likely appropriate. Proposal for an Embedded Risk Structure In an effort to further stabilize new technology implementations and ensure information systems' data integrity risks are mitigated, it is proposed that the organization utilize certain key processes and steps that will be embedded within the current project structure. The employment of this embedded risk mitigation structure will enhance the current project process, and more importantly the technology implementation, in several ways: 1) Provide clear guidance to all project participants around the mitigation of data integrity risks 2) Outline the risk mitigation process to be employed 3) Ensure risk mitigation activities are formalized and 4) Ensure the completeness of these activities through the identification of specific project milestones. Ultimately, this risk mitigation structure provides assurance that the organization is applying due diligence in addressing the accuracy and integrity of its financial data. More importantly, however, this structure will allow the organization to certify its financial information according to the guidelines set forth by Sarbanes-Oxley. And recent events further substantiate the need for this mandate in the Gap Inc. organization. Lessons from Recent History During the phased implementation of the company's newly purchased point-of-sale system, certain problems have surfaced: 1) transactions are causing a random printer freeze condition, 2) transactions are being dropped from the system record without warning, and 3) customers' credit card purchases are being captured incorrectly. Although these software and hardware problems were purportedly identified and acknowledged during the testing phase of the implementation project, a decision to continue with the scaled rollout was determined. The risk posed to financial reporting as the point-of-sale technology rollout continues should be obvious: Missing and incorrect transactions aggregated over the total population of retail locations, some 4,000 stores, will likely have a substantial impact on the company's reported sales. Furthermore, these failed transactions also require human effort to mitigate or correct. Consequently, as the organization continues to ramp up this new technology, this manual effort will also increase exponentially until the errant Joseph Robinson Page 2 5/13/2010
transactions are corrected. Obviously, this breakdown in risk analysis and mitigation further exhibits the need for a formal structure that addresses and provides transparency to such conditions. Accordingly, the proposal that follows addresses this need. This proposal is structured in the following manner: Section 1.0; Introduction Section 2.0; Problem Statement Section 3.0; Measures of the Problem Section 4.0; Project Objectives Section 5.0; Specific Deliverables Section 6.0; Alternatives to be considered Section 7.0; Project Approach and Criteria for Evaluating Alternatives Section 8.0; Project Planning Section 9.0; Planned Use of ETM Materials 2.0: Problem Statement A Mandate for Expanded Project Scope Gap Inc. has a number of impending technology implementations that will not only have a substantial impact on business processes, but that will also create, store, and provide the data for financial reporting. For this reason, it is proposed that the company expands the scope of the current project structure to include the minimum activities, or components, necessary to support a technology risk mitigation structure; this will ensure the level of risk to financial reporting inaccuracy is minimized through a formal and repeatable process. This approach also aligns with the company's current Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts: documentation of business processes, identification of the control structure1and any control gaps, and testing of the control environment2. Closing the Gap in New Technology Risk Although, current activities encompass the assessment of the level of control within existing technologies, the assessment of the control environment of new technologies is not addressed with the same level of rigor and formality. Consequently, this absence of applied structure creates a potential lapse in the assessment of impending implementations, potentially leading to a condition wherein the accuracy of financial reporting is at risk. Given the number of impending implementations during the next few years, the organization's level of risk will likely increase exponentially if this lapse is not addressed. Impending exposure points will include the accuracy of inventory data, sales data, and lease management data, as new technologies are either being planned or currently underway for these areas. This exposure is also compounded by the large size of the IT Department (the diffusion of information is difficult) and their relative unfamiliarity with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. 1 A control structure refers to the manual (human process) and automated (system process) controls that provide a level of assurance that risk is minimized or prevented. 2 The control environment consists of a series of manual and/or automated controls that, combined, provide a level of assurance that risk is minimized or prevented. This can also be referred to as a "web of controls". Joseph Robinson Page 3 5/13/2010
The IT Factor Currently, the Information Technology (IT) Department supporting the organization includes approximately 1500 employees. Within this large population of employees are many sub-organizations that support specific technology implementation projects. Historically, communicating new requirements across the global IT organization has been cumbersome and lethargic, as separate entities within IT are slow to react to these corporate-wide mandates. Additionally, the level of importance placed on these new mandates varies widely across the IT hierarchy, resulting in varying degrees of adaptation; this has resulted in sporadic adherence and performance relating to any new requirements and correlating measures. Currently, Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, related to new technology implementations, are generally unclear to the IT Department; this condition is further exacerbated by the lack of formal structure around these risk mitigation efforts. 3.0 Measures of the Problem The new technology risk mitigation structure's measures will directly support the major objectives of the initiative (previously outlined in Section 4): 1) Provide clear guidance to all project participants around the mitigation of data integrity risks 2) Outline the risk mitigation process to be employed 3) Ensure risk mitigation activities are formalized and 4) Ensure the completeness of these activities through specific project milestones. 1. Increased understanding of Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and the relationship to technology; this will be measured through surveys conducted via the company's intranet, prior to and following the proposed program's rollout. The survey will include specific questions around IT employees' level of knowledge related to Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, their role in meeting these new requirements, etc. (where 1 = Unfamiliar, 2 = Somewhat Unfamiliar, 3 = Familiar, 4 = Somewhat Familiar, 5 = Very Familiar). [Supports Project Objectives 1, 2, and 3] 2. Reduction in the number of post-implementation problem tickets opened for the specific technology (vs. past implementations). This measure will be accomplished by comparing the incidence (frequency) and severity of problem tickets relating specifically to reporting and the accuracy of data. Currently, the organization's problem ticket software, Service Center 5.0, specifically identifies a problem ticket category, including reporting problems, the specific application the problem relates to, etc. These problem queues can then be queried to identify trends. Assumption: If the level of rigor related to financial reporting accuracy and data integrity is embedded into the project structure, a decrease in the number of the post-implementation incidents should occur. [Supports Project Objectives 2, 3, 4, and 5] 3. Increased management satisfaction with level of rigor related to new technology risk mitigation. Currently, management's confidence in the level of rigor applied to new implementations risk related to financial reporting is low; this will be measured through management feedback on specific questions related to the perception of new technology risk mitigation efforts and processes, conducted prior to and after the proposed program's rollout. Management responses will be Joseph Robinson Page 4 5/13/2010
rated on a scale from 1-5, where 1 = Below Expectations, 2 = Somewhat Below Expectations, 3 = Meets Expectations, 4 = Somewhat Above Expectations, 5 = Exceeds Expectations. [Supports Project Objectives 3 and 4] 4.0 Project Objectives The objective of this project is to develop a formalized and repeatable risk mitigation structure, which: 1. Is embedded in the organization's existing project structure; 2. Provides clear guidance to all project participants around the mitigation of data integrity risks; 3. Outlines the risk mitigation process to be employed; 4. Ensures risk mitigation activities are formalized; 5. And ensures the completeness of these activities through the identification of specific project milestones. 5.0 Specific Deliverables The specific deliverables that address the problem statement and achieve the objectives stated for developing a formalized and repeatable risk mitigation structure are: 1. A revised project template, including Project Charter, Standard MS Project Template, and Test Plan Template that includes specific risk mitigation activities, objectives, requirements, and milestones. [Supports Project Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5] 2. A formalized process, including a Process Flow Document, for risk assessment activities, including pre-implementation, project phase, and post-implementation process steps. [Supports Project Objectives 3, 4, and 5] 3. A formal communication document that includes a summary of the Sarbanes- Oxley impact, requirements resulting from this impact, and other relevant information. [Supports Project Objective 2] 4. A global Sarbanes-Oxley calendar that outlines the timeline for certification and the annual recertification (sustainability) timeline and the key activities required supporting these milestones. [Supports Project Objectives 2, 4, and 5] 5. Summary of measures (scorecard), including the surveys and problem ticket (pre- and post- program) analysis. [Supports Project Objectives 1 and 5] 6.0: Alternatives to be considered In order to effectively develop and deploy a formalized and repeatable risk mitigation structure, meet the project objectives and provide the defined deliverables, certain alternatives will be considered. It should be noted that the alternatives involve both the method of achieving the objectives and ownership and accountability for the program itself; and in some cases, the alternative is simply the specific combination of these variables. Joseph Robinson Page 5 5/13/2010
6.1: Risk mitigation processes owned and administered by the business (100% business accountability) Description: The business segment, or functional area, receiving the technology solution would own both the process of risk mitigation and its administration (project documentation). Note: In some cases, multiple departments may be the recipients of the solution; consequently, the main, or largest, user (department) would be identified. In this scenario, the functional area would provide the resources to complete the risk mitigation activities and completion of related project milestones. Technology: The business would require a relatively high level of technical competence to support the risk mitigation effort, as much of this work will be completed in the new information system (data structure, reporting analysis, testing analysis, etc.). It is not apparent that this level of technical competence is readily available or exists today, however. Additionally, this risk mitigation work would also require some understanding of general control principles (manual and automated controls, control environment, etc.). Successful Use: Many functional areas already support many of the technical processes around applications, including user administration, query and report writing, the initiation of batch jobs, etc. Consequently, the functional areas likely have resources capable of supporting some level of risk mitigation activities. Feasibility: Although the business could likely support this approach to some degree, the level of technical knowledge needed to perform a thorough and detailed analysis of the new system may exceed business expertise and capabilities. Moreover, access to much of the IT infrastructure required to complete this work may be difficult, as this exceeds the normal access level granted by the IT Department. Finally, business areas are less familiar with the project structure and this might result in some level of risk to project milestones and timelines. Known Preconceived Biases: It's likely that the functional area resources would approach the analysis work with a high degree of probity3. More importantly, results of these analysis activities would likely be reported to leadership without bias for the success or failure of the project. 6.2 Risk mitigation processes owned and administered by IT (100% IT accountability) Description: IT owns both the process of risk mitigation and its administration (project documentation). IT would provide the resources to complete the risk mitigation activities and completion of related project milestones. 3 According to Arthur M. Squires, in his text The Tender Ship, "an applied scientist or engineer shall display utter probity toward the engineered object, from the moment of its conception through its commissioning for use". [2] Joseph Robinson Page 6 5/13/2010
Technology: IT would require a relatively high level of technical competence to support the risk mitigation effort, as much of this work will be completed in the new information system (data structure, reporting analysis, testing analysis, etc.). Additionally, this risk mitigation work would also require some understanding of general control principles (manual and automated controls, control environment, etc.). Although IT has a high degree of technical competency, the general controls knowledge is not developed. Successful Use: IT directly supports the organization's technical processes and has a track record of successful technology implementations. Feasibility: Feasibility is considered medium: IT has the technical competency to support this approach, but bias must also be considered (see bias section below). IT could easily support these activities, as the technical knowledge needed to perform a thorough and detailed analysis of the new system exists today. In addition, IT has ready access to the system infrastructure required to complete this work. IT is also extremely familiar with the project structure and this will likely enable achievement implementation milestones. Known Preconceived Biases: As IT has an interest in the successful implementation of the new technology (performance appraisals are directly related to this measure), certain priorities and biases may preexist. Consequently, certain failures in testing, weaknesses in the control environment, and other risks may be overlooked, or under-prioritized, in the interest of a successful technology implementation. 6.3 Risk mitigation processes owned by IT and administered by functional (business) areas (50% IT accountability; 50% business accountability) Description: IT owns the process of risk mitigation and the business owns its administration (project documentation). IT would provide the resources to complete the risk mitigation activities; however, the functional areas would ensure completion of related project milestones. This scheme ensures that the technical work can be supported by IT, while the functional areas will have a certain degree of oversight to ensure an acceptable level of rigor has been applied to the analysis activities and that variances, or deficiencies, in system performance receive due scrutiny. Approval and signoff of milestone completion would be completed by the business, not by IT. Technology: IT would require a relatively high level of technical competence to support the risk mitigation effort, as much of this work will be completed in the new information system (data structure, reporting analysis, testing analysis, etc.). Additionally, this risk mitigation work would also require some understanding of general control principles (manual and automated controls, control environment, Joseph Robinson Page 7 5/13/2010
etc.). In addition, the functional areas would require a high degree of project understanding to ensure the administration process is effectively supported. Successful Use: In the past, IT and the functional areas have demonstrated a high level of collaboration and cooperation in completing new technology implementations. Feasibility: Feasibility would be considered high, as this structure likely exploits the skills and interests of both areas (IT and functional department). IT could easily support the risk analysis efforts due to existing technical knowledge. While, functional areas will ensure project milestones are not only achieved, but that the results are valid. Known Preconceived Biases: In this scenario, biases are likely removed due to joint ownership and accountability for the process and corresponding results. 7.0: Project Approach and Criteria for Evaluating Alternatives Because this particular proposal involves the improvement and enhancement of an existing process, the initial structure employed to support the definition, measurement, and analysis will be Six Sigma's DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) Cycle. Assuming approval of this proposal (and for the purposes of the assignment), a project approach, utilizing the requirements, design, construction, implementation/deployment, and post-implementation review phases will be employed for the "Improve" portion of DMAIC. Consequently, the project plan for this proposal will include elements of both DMAIC and a normal, phased technology implementation. The sponsor for this project will be the Sarbanes-Oxley Steering Committee; this executive group represents an adequate cross section of all area that will likely be impacted by this proposed project. The author will execute and directly support the project, including defining project requirements (in collaboration with business partners), scope, measurement, analysis, the presentation of findings to the Steering Committee, and management of the implementation, including communications. No additional resources will be required to support this effort, as the brunt of the project involves the development of a system or process, not the delivery of a technical solution, per se. 7.1 Define Phase 1. Clarify business goals and objectives of the project Develop high-level goals and objectives. Example: In an effort to further stabilize new technology implementations and ensure the information system's data integrity risk is mitigated, it is proposed that the organization utilize certain key processes and steps that will be embedded within the current project structure. 2. Define detailed objectives of the project The objectives stated in Section 4 of the document are an appropriate definition of the project objectives Joseph Robinson Page 8 5/13/2010
3. Identify team members 4. Plan overall project (includes task list, Gantt Chart, etc.) 5. Evaluate Alternatives Develop alternatives based on understanding of organization's current and past capabilities and limitations Assess feasibility of each alternative, based on capabilities and limitations and rank these according to a high, medium, or low value. A decision matrix will be used for this process, utilizing specific decision criteria that are then weighted according to importance (Figure 1). Note: The example only includes the criteria from previous section (Section 6); however, actual matrix will likely include additional criteria. 6. Develop and Present Proposal, Alternatives and Recommendation Present problem definition, high-level solution, objectives, measures, alternatives, recommendation of alternatives, and project plan to organizational Approval from Steering Committee to continue with project 7. Create Project Charter Further define requirements − Outline objectives at a level that identifies specific deliverables, including service levels, system response times (if applicable), etc. Ensure requirements are understood and improved by all impacted parties − Define project scope: This section of the Project Charter should outline the boundaries (if any) of the project (e.g. "European locations not in scope") 6. Communicate project details, including 1 – 5, to all impacted parties Figure 1 7.2 Measure Phase (Understanding the Process) 1. Collect Data Document (flow chart) current process supporting Sarbanes-Oxley (for understanding of change impact) [1] Joseph Robinson Page 9 5/13/2010
Create Cause & Effect (C&E) Diagram4 to better understand the problem or breakdown Gather information related to intended measures (as-is state): 1) Understanding of Sarbanes-Oxley Survey 2) Problem ticket volume 3) Management Satisfaction Survey and assess/record current performance. Note that these measures support the performance objectives (directly related to the customer). Create a Control Chart5 to capture as-is performance of system or process, if applicable [1] 7.3 Analyze Phase (Determine Major Causes of Defects or Process Breakdowns) 1.

Put controls in place 3. Monitor and control process variation 7.6 Post-Implementation Review Phase (Close Out) 1. Post-Implementation Review (PIR): Conduct PIR to capture lessons learned (related to project challenges, opportunities, etc.) 2. Prepare presentation and report out to leadership 8.0 Project Plan The project plan follows the project approach outlined in Section 7.0 of this proposal. Target dates, predecessors, successors, and baseline durations have been assigned to each task. Note that a number of approval points, or milestones are included in the project structure. Moreover, many of these dates may appear excessive; however, much of this work will be completed by a single resource (the author) and many of the business units providing information for analysis are dispersed. Consequently, a certain degree of slack was purposely built into the timeline in appreciation of these potential constraints. The first screenshot (Figure 2) below includes the initial proposal work and the final presentation; these activities encompass approximately six (6) months of work effort. The second screenshot (Figure 3) outlines three project phases: Define, Measure, and Analyze. Finally, Figure 4 details the Improve, Control, and Close Out Phases. Figure 2 7 A description of the inputs to a process that should be monitored or error-proofed for the purpose of maintaining satisfactory output, or system performance [1] Joseph Robinson Page 11 5/13/2010
Figure 3 Figure 4 Joseph Robinson Page 12 5/13/2010
9.0 Planned Use of ETM Materials Although each of the MSETM courses has provided, and continue to provide, key insights and learning, the courses outlined below are especially significant in terms of this project proposal: Management of Technology Implementations: Much of the MSETM coursework provided insight to the challenges and obstacles in implementing technology and process change. For example, during the ETM 5111 course, a text entitled Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation provided many case studies that provided value in determining the approach for this project proposal; in fact, the text has been oft referred to during the past year for several projects. Currently, the IEM 5010 course, Leading and Managing Technology Implementation, has provided key insights to issues that were never considered: probity in development and engineering projects, the lessons that failures provide, etc. This course should continue to provide a plethora of valuable learning that can be readily applied to this proposed project; and this information is fascinating, as well. Strategic Quality Leadership/Management: Much of the impact of misguided technology implementations is unknown and unknowable. This paraphrased Deming principle is definitely applicable to the point-of-sale example presented earlier in this proposal document. For example, the impact of transactions not accurately captured could, in many ways, have a downstream impact on customer service and, ultimately, the customers' perception of the brand. Accordingly, this guiding principle, among other quality principles will definitely be employed during this project. References 1. Breyfogle, F., Cupello, J, and Meadows, B.

On our approach to Lochel (small town in the mid north for those not familiar with South Aus) I asked Darren to pull over so I could take a photo. Whilst I am taking the photo Darren the real horticulturalist gets a closer look at the weeds growing throughout the sunflower crop.

Video: Nick Saban Throws Out First Pitch Of Alabama vs. Auburn Baseball Game
Nick Saban probably doesn't have the time to play in any summer softball leagues, but if he did, he'd be showcasing a fairly decent arm each week. Saban threw out the first pitch of this past Friday's game between Alabama and Auburn – which of course, is arguably the biggest rivalry in all of college sports. His pitch was a bit high, but he came nowhere near embarrassing himself. It even had some zing on it.
Unfortunately for Saban, his Tide lost the game, 2-1. But they did win on Saturday and Sunday to take the series. Perhaps Saban's football team can rebound this year in similar fashion.

Twinning project in Armenia targets copyright protection
July 25, 2012 - 20:26 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Twinning project in Armenia aims to protect copyright, director of Armauthor NGO Susanna Nersisyan said.
According to her, the program facilitates planning of events aiming to restore infringed copyright.
Lawyer Stepan Khzrtyan, in turn, presented a model that would allow for free download from the music licensing sites. He offered to post a short commercial with music download becoming available only after watching it.
Famous Armenian singer Hayko deemed it a good idea, noting that Armenia lacks culture of license download.
IT expert Arman Atoyan noted that copyright infringement is a common problem in the whole world, with modern technologies being applied to prevent the occurrence.
Top stories
Wearing T-shirts with the inscription "Our wounds are always open," the participants started from the Republic Square.
Different investment projects have already been proposed by the Armenian government and partner organizations.
The report shows that 70% of parents would consider paying more for a university education abroad than for a domestic one.
"I am grateful for compassion, understanding and collaboration," Arman Saghatelyan wrote in a Facebook post.

Cruffins go on sale at 9am. Line can start as early as 8. They were all gone by 10.30 when I visited.
Ribs are fried yet tender and amazing. The picture of the ship's captain on the wall cost $3 from a thrift store.
Showing its age - it's one of the oldest hotels in the country - but pretty cheap, fairly clean and kind of fascinating.
Treasure trove of beautiful books, magazines, postcards and nicknacks from late 19th century and early 20th
Cute spot. Does a good flat white, and tacos on Friday nights. There's a snug at the back with a Nintendo 64 and VHS tapes.
Hidden gem of a cocktail bar at Grand Central station. Like transporting back to another era.
Cod and borscht is great. The apple strudel too, but not as good as the hot chocolate.
The bar staff are very friendly and gave us homemade cookies but the cockroach walking across the bar was a bit offputting.
Possibly the only place in SF that does a proper Flat White
Forget the Birds, this is the best thing about Bodega Bay. Amazing clam chowder.
I'd say calling this place a city might be a stretch. But it's worth driving up Main Street to see a dilapidated slice of 19th-century Americana.
Fastest sandwich shop in the west (well, downtown SF at least).
Secret menu item: the Nokia 106, a $30 unlocked ultra basic phone - bargain not on display.

Clothing optional but most people were clothed when we were there on a Saturday afternoon.

I Question Any Tea Party Group That's Against E-Verify
E-Verify is THE only way we have to prevent illegal aliens from getting jobs in this country. If the program were expanded and the government actually put some resources into it, it would make it extremely difficult for illegal aliens to get any job worth having in this country. In other words, it's the single most important thing we can do to fight illegal immigration. Although I'm in favor of putting a fence on the border, hiring more border patrol agents, and Arizona's immigration law, E-Verify is more important than all of those things. Why? Because if illegal aliens can't get jobs in this country, they won't come here in the first place. Why? Because if the illegal aliens who are already here can't get a job, most of them will self-deport and go home.
An open letter from leaders of the groups Take Back Washington, Tea Party Nation, Downsize DC, GOProud, the D.C. Tea Party and other conservative groups calls on members of Congress to reject the Legal Workforce Act, a bill sponsored by U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) that would mandate the use of the electronic identification system E-Verify by all businesses nationwide.
Promoting illegal immigration in America is not a conservative position and it's not a Tea Party position. There are, on the other hand, plenty of establishment conservatives who want to promote illegal immigration because they incorrectly think it will help the GOP with Hispanics. There are also country club, conservative corporatists who like illegal immigration because they think they can benefit from it personally while the rest of society is left to pick up the tab. But, being pro-illegal immigration is not a Tea Party position, I don't trust any Tea Party group that opposes E-Verify, and I have no qualms about asking them publicly to let everyone know if they have any donors who've asked them to take that position.

Next week: Coronation Street locations tours
I can't recommend this tour enough. I've been on it and I know the tour guide - and if you haven't been on one of Mark's Corrie tours yet, then it really is a day not to be missed. Treat yourself, it's well worth it, you'll have a fantastic day.
If anyone goes on this and would like to blog about it for us afterwards, do please let me know.
The tours depart Yorkshire and include morning refreshments at The Daisy Nook Garden centre prior to meeting the guide for the day who will give you an insider's view of the world's most famous TV show.
Learn about its creator Tony Warren, how it made it on air, the inside stories and secrets … and visit many of the locations of iconic scenes out and about around Greater Manchester. See the spot where Richard Hillman tried to kill the Platts, find out just where all the Weatherfield weddings take place, see where the new Corrie studios are being built, see where John Stape plunged from the hospital roof – and much more in our fun day! Your guide will give everyone a free book on filming in the North West as a memento of their day. There will also be a Corrie quiz during the day! A must for all Coronation Street lovers!
Wednesday 3 October - From York area brochure departure points
Thursday 4 October - From Harrogate area brochure departure points
£28.95 (including guided coach tour)
Full details at Eddie Brown Tours website.

Eidesvik takes gain in Brazil & buys new offshore supply vessel
Eidesvik has entered into sales agreements of US$ 64 million for the two supply vessels Viking Surf (built 2002) and Viking Thaumas (built 2005). Both vessels are employed on contracts in Brazil.
The deliveries of the vessels are expected to take place in the first half of May 2012. The company will record a gain of approximately 77 million Kroner. A seller credit of US$ 12 million is established in connection with the transaction. The credit is secured by a bank guarantee and will be repaid by 12 installments during the next 12 months. The transaction will give a positive net liquidity of US$ 32 million after mortgages have been paid.
Simultaneously Eidesvik has entered into an agreement for buying a supply vessel, a UT 755L built at STX Aukra Norway in 2004, for US$ 24 million. The delivery is expected to take place during first half of May 2012.
The financial return on the operations in Brazil has not been as good as expected. Hence, Eidesvik has chosen to sell these vessels and is now to be positioned to invest in vessels that give significantly higher return.

Historical Traveler Reviews Regina Hotel Baglioni Rome
Top class in every way
just returned from the regina baglioni rome.hotel is absolutely superb,staff are excellent and the place just oozes luxury.my wife and i went to rome for 3 days for the sales,the hotel is located about a 10 minute walk from the main boutiques(gucci,prada etc.)be aware that the walk back involves taclkling the spanish steps,location oterwise is very good.we booked a room for 240 euros per night and believe me for the suite we received it was a bargain,2 tv's,lounge,2 balconies,marble bathroom with double sinks,robes etc. etc.Quality! we will return.
Location, location, location
Just returned from a marvellous long weekend in Rome, staying with my wife and baby son at the above. It was our first trip to Rome and I didn't realise how important the hotel's location was to getting the most out of a trip. The Regina's is spot on and we walked (and pushed) everywhere from here, even across to the Vatican city. Hotel staff very welcoming, room big, clean and comfortable with a good (free) cot and the breakfast was terrific.
I have already recommended the Regina to friends and if you can get a decent rate (we paid less than �150 sterling per night through ebookers), you are off to a good start for your Roman holiday by chosing this hotel.
Can't do better than the Regina.
DO NOT PAY THE PRICE AT THE EXCELSIOR ACROSS THE STREET!!! I've stayed at both, and the Regina is the equal or superior. I was so disappointed at first that I could not obtain a rate at the Excelsior for less than $700/night for September 2004, for five nights. Used this site to review other hotels and found the Regina. The rate was about Euro 235. It was beautifully decorated, (wonderful baths) quiet, clean, welcoming, and fresh. Concierges were excellent, although they do need at least one more on staff at all times. The location was central for us and we walked to many attractions. All restaurant recommendations were excellent. I highly recommend this hotel, and was pleased to find that this chain has many other locations that I will use in the future.
Wonderful in everyway
Our travel agent originally booked us into this hotel and then later I changed it when I found out they had a special package deal including breakfast, upgraded room and VIP treatment for only 20 euros more. I had no idea what VIP treatment meant and I chuckled to myself about the concept at first but I was wrong. The hotel is definitely top notch and personnel very friendly. We booked a classic room for our son at a much cheaper rate but they gave him a deluxe room right next to us. This was in the newly renovated area which was very quiet at night--no street noise. On our last day there, they discovered that one out of 2 basins in my son's bathroom had no hotwater and wanted to change him to a new room. We declined but I cannot say that we have ever had that type of offer before. We did not purchase the package for his room but he had the 25 euro breakfast with us and was not charged for it. The breakfast was wonderful and try ordering hot chocolate instead of coffee--it was the best I have ever tasted! Everyafternoon they left fresh fruit and chocolates and with the turn down service another treat. They left us a surprise gift to take home with us on our last night. Try to get one of their package deals and you won't be disappointed.
Wonderful hotel!!!!
We just back from Italy and stayed at this hotel. We had a wonderful experience. The hotel was beautiful the location was great and the staff was very friendly. We asked for a room with a better view, and they did with no extra charge, the room was a little larger also. Would stay there again.
Loved this hotel
Luxurious and centrally located on the Via Veneto near the top of the Spanish Steps, this is a beautiful hotel with beautiful furnishings, a kind staff and a terrific breakfast buffet--the best start to a long day of sightseeing. The only drawback was the street noise that continued into the early morning hours, but I doubt there's much that can be done about that. A friend from Rome recommend it, and my husband and I were glad we took her recommendation.
Excellent hotel in Rome, Regina Hotel Baglioni
My husband and I spent 10 days at the Regina Hotel Baglioni and it was fabulous. Our room was large by European standards with a very comfortable bed and high quality linens. The bathroom was wall-to-wall marble, with the same high quality linens and bathroom accessories. Our room was very quiet and we rested well each night after hours of sight-seeing. The hotel is convenient to many attractions and a large park is nearby for walks. Breakfast each morning was my husband's favorite part of the hotel with fresh baked pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit and of course wonderful coffee (cafe as the Italian's say). The staff was pleasant and helpful with arranging tours and answering questions. Lastly, the bartender Gabrielle is very entertaining. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon in June 2000. We travelled to Paris, Lourdes and Rome. Because this was our honeymoon, we planned for luxurious accommodations. And that is exactly what we got!The lobby, dining room and accommodations are gorgeous, the pictures on the internet do not do this hotel justice. The service was impeccable from every staff member. This hotel is very well kept. This, by far was the best hotel we stayed in on our trip. The continental breakfast consisted of oven fresh rolls, perfect coffee. The hotel is located right across the street from the American Embassy in a very upscale area. Close to fabulous restaurants and shops, but also close to many of Rome's major tourist attractions. My husband and I did quite alot of walking in this neighbohrhood and felt quite safe. From the minute we stepped into the lobby, I knew this hotel was worth the money we spent.

The US$20 billion Downtown Dubai is the world's newest and most all-encompassing urban development.
September 14, 2010 2:42 by Rasha Reslan
Dubai, UAE; September 14, 2010: Emaar Properties PJSC, the global property developer, has awarded the global creative account for Downtown Dubai, its flagship mega-development, to StrawberryFrog, an international agency with an accomplished track-record in delivering powerful campaigns globally.
Less than three months after winning the global Emirates Airline account, StrawberryFrog, the world's first "Movement" agency, impressed Emaar after a three-way pitch which also involved Saatchi & Saatchi and Young and Rubicam.
Mr. Robert Booth, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar North America, who oversaw the appointment said: "StrawberryFrog demonstrated an incredible understanding of the exciting new world that is taking shape today, the ways in which consumers think in this new global environment, and the role that Downtown Dubai plays in this culture. StrawberryFrog's strategic insights, original ideas and creative excellence were outstanding. StrawberryFrog New York and Amsterdam have a cosmopolitan team which has great chemistry with our organization.
The US$20 billion Downtown Dubai is the world's newest and most all-encompassing urban development. Described as the 'new heart of Dubai,' this 500-acre development is anchored by Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and also features The Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping and entertainment destination.
"We are proud to be working with Emaar Properties on Downtown Dubai, as it establishes itself among the world's greatest urban environments," said Scott Goodson, Chairman of StrawberryFrog.
StrawberryFrog's 'Cultural Movement' will run across all platforms including an innovative digital and social media backbone as well as beautiful print advertising crafted for the world's most respected culture and lifestyle magazines.
