Bistro Baffi in Burien has plenty of personality, thanks to chef/owner Michael Vujovich. He cooks from familiar Italian repertoire, but Seattle Times reviewer Providence Cicero found some menu items exceptional.
When Michael Vujovich, chef and owner of 2-year-old Bistro Baffi, emerges from his kitchen, as he often does, it's with all the brio of a Commedia dell'Arte character. He's tall and rangy; his chef whites are speckled with his signature pink sauce, and his long arms gesture like a clock gone crazy. His fabulously twirled whiskers inspired the restaurant's name; baffi in Italian means mustache.
Bistro Baffi sits in the crux of a Burien strip mall between a hair salon and a Handi-mart, buffered from the parking lot by hefty planters brimming with blooms. The interior is ripe for romance, with pink marble tables and wainscoted, tomato-red walls covered with sunny depictions of coastal Montenegro, where Vujovich got his start in the restaurant business.
He cooks from a familiar Italian repertoire, but the restaurant's many regulars are drawn as much, I suspect, by the force of his personality and the ministrations of his engaging staff as by the quality of the food.
West Seattleites who know Vujovich from the Beach House Cafe turn up at Bistro Baffi and are greeted with bear hugs. He's a raconteur who lavishes compliments. "I like the way you eat!" he tells one table, clinking wine glasses all around. Carrying a candlelit tiramisu (it's terrific) he leads a chorus of "Happy Birthday."

He showed up at our table with apologies. They were out of a $32 Ripasso Valpolicella we had ordered. He insisted we have a 1999 Barolo for the same price (a fraction of what Barolo typically sells for). He was already pulling the cork, assuring us we would love it.
We didn't love it, but it was acceptable for the price. I noticed the same wine displayed on several tables. It's not on the list but on a subsequent visit our waiter mentioned it was a featured bottle, quoting a price of $48.
Wild king salmon is a frequent special. A waiter paraded a raw fillet around the room on a plate rimmed with slices of red and yellow pepper, summer squash, eggplant and baby bok choy. We took the bait. The carefully broiled fish dressed simply with wine, capers and a touch of lemon was a joy. But the vegetables, doused with olive oil, were so indifferently cooked some were nearly raw. The never-mentioned price tag: $35.
That's a jump even from the menu's top-price entree, a somewhat chewy veal piccata ($28), similarly sauced but with a surfeit of lemon juice. And it's nearly twice the price of a dull, sage-deprived chicken saltimbocca ($17).
Bistecca Romana was well worth its $25 tariff. Ignore the menu description that says "thin sautéed beef tenderloin." The impressive prosciutto-wrapped fillet I enjoyed was a good 2 inches thick, cooked precisely medium-rare and moistened with a red-wine pan sauce. But whole garlic cloves scattered among the standard-issue veggies were, like the eggplant and peppers, far from cooked.
Many customers opt for salad and pasta. Insalata al'gusto was fresh and lovely: tender lettuces ringed with ripe pear and Roma tomato, sprinkled with toasted pecans, cranberries and sweet Gorgonzola, and glistening with balsamic vinaigrette.
Several pastas and risottos incorporate the house signature "spicy pink sauce," a frothy blend of tomatoes, champagne and cream, zingy with herbs and spice. But an overdose of pink sauce one evening resulted in risotto so soupy the scallops were practically bobbing.
Our party of three decided to share spaghetti pescatore, but Vujovich thought differently. He personally delivered not one but three brimming bowls. "You each must have your own," he decreed. "I divided it so you wouldn't fight over it."
And we might have. It was sensational, with firm noodles tucked beneath a profusion of clams, mussels, bits of fin fish and a fat prawn, all of it drenched in a wine-rich tomato sauce, heady with garlic and herbs, packing just enough peppery heat.
We were still slurping when the chef reappeared. "I just wanted to see your happy faces." I think he really meant it. But he was eyeing the seafood, not us.

August 8, 2011
OVERVIEW: Although ultra-successful coordinator Dana Holgorsen left to become the coach at West Virginia, the Cowboys' offense won't be much different from the unit that ranked third in the nation last season. QB Brandon Weeden is outstanding, WR Justin Blackmon may be the best in the country and the line is exceptional. If an effective starting tailback emerges, watch out.
RECEIVERS: Blackmon is the latest in a long line of terrific Okie State receivers. He may be the best of the bunch. Blackmon led the nation in receiving yards and touchdowns last season. In fact, his 20 touchdown catches were more than six Big 12 teams. The Cowboys need a reliable secondary receiver. It could be senior Hubert Anyiam, but he has had a few costly drops before. Senior Josh Cooper hopes to build on a 68-catch output.
LINE: Huge All-Big 12 T Levy Adcock, G Lane Taylor and C Grant Garner lead a front that was surprisingly productive in 2010. The Cowboys' linemen paved the way for a running game that averaged more than 174 yards per game and allowed just 10 sacks. The Cowboys attempted 542 passes, so that's one sack in every 54 attempts. Can't ask for much more than that.
OVERVIEW: Coordinator Bill Young is considered among the best in his field. He needs to be. Defense is a sore subject in Stillwater after the Cowboys allowed at least 28 points in seven games in 2010. They were good against the run, but must replace several starters in the front seven. The secondary has experience -- bad experiences. Oklahoma State ranked among the worst in pass defense last season.
LINE: Senior E Richetti Jones arrived in Stillwater as a highly regarded recruit, but has had a so-so career. Maybe he'll go out in a blaze of glory. Senior E Jamie Blatnick has had some off-field issues, but he has been solid on the field. His 5.5 sacks led the team. Though both tackle positions will be manned by new and unproven starters, redshirt freshman Christian Littlehead looks like a good one.
LINEBACKERS: The loss of All-Big 12 selection Orie Lemon, who posted 133 tackles in 2010, leaves a major void in the middle. Three sophomores figure to start. Caleb Lavey (10 tackles last season) will try to take up some of the slack. Strongside LB Shaun Lewis could be a headliner after posting 58 tackles as a freshman and starting the final six games. Joe Mitchell converted from safety to a hybrid weakside linebacker spot.
SECONDARY: The Cowboys' defensive back are aiming for more consistency after a feast-or-famine showing. Oklahoma State led the Big 12 with 19 interceptions in 2010. But the Cowboys were 11th in the conference (and 115th in the nation) in passing defense, allowing more than 275 yards per game. Three-fourths of the starting lineup has full-time starting experience, including all-conference S Markelle Martin. Sophomore CB Justin Gilbert, the newcomer of in the starting lineup, is a big-play threat on special teams. He could be one in coverage, too.
If junior Quinn Sharp proves as adept a kicker as he is a punter, the Cowboys could have the best kicking game in the nation. Sharp is coming off a tremendous 2010 campaign in which he earned All-Big 12 recognition and was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award after averaging 46 yards per boot. He aims to replace the production of reliable K Dan Bailey, who completed his eligibility. Sharp was an all-state kicker in high school. The return teams are dangerous, especially when Justin Gilbert is bringing back kickoffs. He averaged 26.8 yards and scored two touchdowns on returns.
The loss of two senior starters leaves an opportunity at defensive tackle and Littlehead (6-3/332) is expected to take full advantage. Littlehead, a redshirt freshman, is expected to be a strong run-stuffer, but also has exceptional quickness for his size.
Not much will come easily for the Cowboys, who face Arizona and Conference USA power Tulsa in non-conference games. And that's not even the hard part. The Big 12 offers a grind on the road with trips to Texas A&M, Texas, Missouri and Texas Tech. At least they get Oklahoma in Stillwater.
This could be the kind of season billionaire alum T. Boone Pickens was hoping for when he made multi-million donations to the program. Expectations are high in Stillwater. The Cowboys are unveiling new uniforms and they've started a Facebook page, Weeden2Blackmon, to promote their lethal passing battery. With Weeden, Blackmon and an experienced, proven line, the offense figures to keep putting up big numbers. But the defense also remains a point of concern. Oklahoma State badly needs to improve its pass defense. Its championship aspirations may depend on it.

Work Stoppage in the A&E Sector: Unequal Labor Practices
LeFevre, Joel, International Musician
The AFM staff and members have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the industry's national association is driving a national labor relations lockout agenda. I sought empirical data to test this hypothesis. The charts and article below support this theory.
In order to perform this analysis, I examined 10 years of data from the Federal Mediation Service Annual Reports 2002-2012, work stoppage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US Department of Labor, and lock-out data from the AFL-CIO Collective Bargaining Department Analysis of Work Stoppage Data 2003-2012.
Over the last 10 years there have been 260,365 union contract negotiations. Out of more than a quarter of a million negotiations there were 2,004 work stoppages and in those stoppages 101 of them were lockouts. This yields a settlement rate of 98.9% with no interruption of work. There were fewer stoppages in the last five years as the settlement rate reached 99.3%. Our economic sector is Arts and Entertainment (A&E). Of all labor contract negotiations in the US, the A&E sector accounts for 4.64% of total contract negotiations over the last three years.
The number of contract negotiations involving work stoppages has declined precipitously (see Figure 1). Coinciding with the deepening recession in 2009, we see an abrupt decline.
Ten years ago one in every 120 contract negotiations had a work stoppage on the way to settlement. By 2012, the work stoppage rate had fallen by half to one in every 240 negotiations (see Figure 2).
Since the onset of the recession, the percentage of work stoppages that are lockouts has doubled (see Figure 3).
Employer lockouts have always been with us, but are rare. Figure 4 illustrates the number of lockouts as a percent of all contract negotiations in each year. These are tiny fractions. During the first four years studied, 2003 through 2006, only one in every 1,982 contract negotiations involved an employer lockout With the recession, and then its deepening, both industry and unions sought peace at a record pace, resulting in an average of just six lockouts per year in 2007 and 2008.
In 2009 and 2010 employer aggression in the form of lockouts grew again. Lockouts are still rare and not popular. In the most recent years, the incidence of lockouts correlates to just a handful of law firms. In 2011, as the number of strikes stayed low, the lockout rate reached the level of seven years earlier. When we subtract the lockouts in the A&E sector from the total, the figures in red are the result (see Figure 5). …

thank you, dear sirs. I am notexpecting to get visible something that ain´t there in the poster. But I do not want to lose the details that are there now. So, I thought that a negative with less contrast than normal might be a solution. I guess I was wrong, there is no sense in my thought.
But the other point is that I would prefer my small paper copies to be of less contrast. Softer, if that is the expression in negatives ( more flat, less contrasty, lighter). How do I get that? I can use more contrasty paper if I want that result but now I want to have all the details visible but the whole image looks less contrasty. How do I get such a negative, in the first place?
Thank You for commenting.

text: testing Uber Surge Price? Research Says Walk A Few Blocks, Wait A Few Minutes By Alina Selyukh • Oct 29, 2015 Uber has shaken up what it takes to get from point A to point B in cities across the country with a simple premise: If you need a ride, a driver nearby could pick you up within minutes. Behind that idea is an algorithm, which promises to keep supply and demand in constant balance, encouraging drivers toward busy areas and tempering customer requests by increasing the price of each ride. It's called surge pricing. Connecticut's NAEP Scores Flatten, Worse in Fourth Grade Math By David DesRoches • Oct 28, 2015 Connecticut students tested at about the same levels in math and reading as they did in 2013, according to results released by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP. Fourth graders, however, tested worse this time around than they did two years ago. Arne Duncan Stepping Down As Education Secretary By Domenico Montanaro • Oct 2, 2015 Updated at 12:15 p.m. ET.

King Jr. to replace Duncan. King is a former New York State education commissioner. (President Obama is making a personnel announcement at 3:30 p.m. ET.) State Task Force Studies Future High School Graduation Requirements By Diane Orson • Sep 28, 2015 John Walker / Creative Commons Under current law, by the time students in this year's sixth grade class reach 12th grade, there will be new, more rigorous requirements to graduate high school. State Says Low Test Scores Reflect Expectations; Teachers Question Results By David DesRoches • Aug 28, 2015 Office of Dannel Malloy The results are in, but teachers aren't happy. State education officials released the long-anticipated results of the new standardized test, called the SBAC, on Friday. The numbers showed that less than half of Connecticut students met the "achievement level" or above in math in grades 3 through 8, and slightly more than half met this level in reading. How The U.S. Is Neglecting Its Smartest Kids By Anya Kamenetz • Aug 24, 2015 Chester E. Finn Jr. has three very bright granddaughters. He thinks they "have considerable academic potential and are not always being challenged by their schools." Finn is not just a proud grandpa; he's a long-established expert on education policy with the Fordham Institute and Hoover Institution. So it's not surprising that his grandkids got him wondering about — and researching — a big question: How well is the U.S. educating its top performers? Federal Education Department Gives Connecticut Grace Period on Tests By David DesRoches • Aug 6, 2015 U.S. Department of Education There will be one less test for eleventh graders this coming school year – at least for students who plan on taking the SATs as part of the college application process. Bloomfield Public and Jumoke Academy, Schools in Transition By John Dankosky • Jul 19, 2015 alamosbasement / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 48:46 This hour, two education leaders discuss turnarounds of a very different type. In Bloomfield, not too many years ago, students struggled with some of the worst math scores in the state, and only about half of students went on to colleges. Those numbers have improved substantially over the last few years. We talk about the successes with the school superintendent, James Thompson. U.S. House Bill to Overhaul No Child Left Behind Passes Without Connecticut's Support By Diane Orson & Heather Brandon • Jul 9, 2015 Alan Grinberg / Creative Commons Lawmakers in Congress are debating the Student Success Act, which would replace and update the No Child Left Behind law.

New Law Would Reduce Test Exhaustion For Connecticut's 11th Graders By Diane Orson • Jun 5, 2015 timlewisnm / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 2:11 Between regular coursework finals, advanced placement tests, and college entrance exams, junior year of high school is rough. Now piled on top is the new SBAC assessment, which has faced lots of pushback from students, families, and educators across the state. More Colleges Drop Testing Requirements By Diane Orson • May 1, 2015 timlewisnm / Creative Commons As many Connecticut high school students prepare to take SAT tests this weekend, a growing number of colleges and universities nationwide are dropping their SAT and ACT testing requirements. Anti-Test 'Opt-Out' Movement Makes A Wave In New York State By Anya Kamenetz • Apr 20, 2015 Across New York state this week, some students are refusing to take a test, and they're not getting punished for it. The test is a Common Core-aligned, federally mandated exam, and students, parents and educators are part of what they're calling the opt-out movement. Opt-outs made news last week in several states: Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, to name a few. The objections are similar everywhere. But no state is posting numbers like New York. Where We Teach: Elementary Education in Connecticut By Tucker Ives • Mar 16, 2015 Odane Campbell / CPBN Learning Lab JMA Satellite Campus Listen Listening... / 48:46 Last year, we hosted our first "Where We Teach" panel. It was built out of a very practical need: we have a daily talk show that airs at 9:00 am, and often discuss education issues. But a core group of people aren't available to talk at 9:00 am - teachers. So, we wanted to bring together a panel and audience of teachers to talk about the challenges and struggles, as well as the achievements and victories that they deal with everyday. It's a chance for us to ask one simple question: What's it like to be a teacher today? Connecticut Education Association Asks Legislators to Cut Back on Standardized Tests By Lydia Brown • Mar 13, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR The Connecticut Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, is calling on legislators to cut back on standardized testing in schools. The news comes just days before Connecticut students begin taking the new Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium test, known as SBAC. When It Comes to Standardized Testing, How Much Is Too Much? By Lydia Brown • Mar 12, 2015 Alberto G. / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 48:46 Later this month, Connecticut students will begin taking the Common Core-aligned Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) test, which is designed to measure their progress in a variety of subject areas. But some are not so thrilled about Connecticut's testing requirements. The state's largest teachers union recently asked lawmakers to cut back on standardized tests. And a number of parents say they plan to opt their kids out of SBAC testing this Spring. Why Some Parents Are Sitting Kids Out Of Tests By Claudio Sanchez • Mar 5, 2015 Meet Jenni Hofschulte, the 35-year-old mom who's one of the parents leading the charge against testing in Milwaukee. "I have two children in Milwaukee Public Schools," Hofschulte says over coffee at a cafe near her home. "The oldest one is in eighth grade." She's interrupted by her fidgety 4-year-old son, Lachlan. Hofschulte quiets him down, furrows her brow and begins again. Hofschulte says that when she found out her son would have to take a diagnostic test next year that's required of all Wisconsin kindergartners, all kinds of red flags went up. State Gives Cash to Schools to Cut Unneeded Tests By David DesRoches • Feb 24, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Forty-eight school districts across Connecticut got a total of $428,000 to help them reduce the number of tests taken by students. Districts are expected to use the money to analyze their current tests to ensure that they align to new state standards, provide value, and are not redundant with other tests. Pregame Analysis: The Coming Federal Education Debate By Claudio Sanchez • Feb 7, 2015 The main federal education law may finally get its long-overdue makeover in Congress this year, and we're going to be hearing and reading a lot about it. Formally, it's the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, or ESEA. The last time it got a major overhaul was in 2001, with President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act. But nothing much has been done with the law since 2007. If Congress does finally get to it this year, What can we expect? The Past, Present And Future Of High-Stakes Testing By Anya Kamenetz • Jan 22, 2015 After a long stretch as the law of the land, annual standardized tests are being put to, well, the test. This week, the Senate education committee held a hearing on the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law and, specifically, on testing. The committee's chairman, Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., has released a draft bill offering a lot more leeway to states in designing their own assessment systems. What Schools Could Use Instead Of Standardized Tests By Anya Kamenetz • Jan 6, 2015 Close your eyes for a minute and daydream about a world without bubble tests. Education Week recently reported that some Republican Senate aides are doing more than dreaming — they're drafting a bill that would eliminate the federal mandate on standardized testing. A Conversation With Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor By Diane Orson • Dec 4, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor attended his final State Board of Education meeting Wednesday.

A Botched Study Raises Bigger Questions By Anya Kamenetz • Nov 14, 2014 New Orleans, where nine of 10 children attend charter schools, has perhaps the most scrutinized public school system in the country. And since Hurricane Katrina, a major source of information about the city's schools has been the Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives, a research group connected with Tulane University. The institute has been widely cited by political leaders and in the news media, including our reporting. It's 2014. All Children Are Supposed To Be Proficient. What Happened? By Anya Kamenetz • Oct 11, 2014 Take yourself back to those highly emotional, patriotic months after the 9/11 attacks. In the midst of war, terrorism, fear and mourning, one bill passed 87-10 in the Senate and by a similar margin in the House — with equal support from both sides of the aisle. It was signed into law in January 2002 by George W. Bush, with the liberal lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, by his side. When Teachers, Not Students, Do The Cheating By Anya Kamenetz • Sep 29, 2014 Opening arguments began today in the trial of 12 Atlanta educators charged in an alleged cheating conspiracy that came to light in 2009. Prosecutors claim there was widespread cheating on state tests throughout the city's public schools, affecting thousands of students. The case has brought national attention to the issue, raising questions about whether the pressures to improve scores have driven a few educators to fudge the numbers, but also about broader consequences. Should Connecticut Students Spend Less Time Taking Tests? By Ray Hardman • Sep 9, 2014 carlosbezz/iStock / Thinkstock Governor Dannel Malloy wants to reduce the number of standardized tests taken by Connecticut students. In a letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, he offered a solution to cut down on all of the testing. Malloy Looks to Reduce Time Connecticut Students Spend on Standardized Tests By Heather Brandon • Sep 5, 2014 Alberto G. / Creative Commons Appealing to the U.S. Secretary of Education, Governor Dannel Malloy is taking action to try to reduce the amount of time students in Connecticut spend taking standardized tests. Common Core Tests To Be Given In Majority Of Springfield Schools By Paul Tuthill • Aug 24, 2014 A new school year begins Monday in Springfield, Massachusetts where rising standardized test scores and a falling dropout rate are seen as signs of a turnaround in the struggling public school system. A new test, based on the Common Core educational standards, will be introduced in a majority of the city's schools next year. The scores of last year's MCAS tests given to Springfield school students rose across the board at a higher rate than the gain recorded by school districts statewide, and the dropout rate has fallen more than any other school system in the state. Connecticut Educators May No Longer Be Judged Based On One Test Score By Alan Yu • Apr 25, 2014 Alberto G. / Creative Commons The advisory council responsible for developing Connecticut's evaluation system for teachers and principals is recommending changes to the guidelines. If the changes are adopted, educators may no longer be judged based on just one test score. An Education Reporter Puts Himself To The (Standardized) Test By editor • Apr 9, 2014 What are the two most feared — most reviled — words in the English language? "Tax day," maybe? Or "traffic jam"? "Pink slip" still connotes an awful brand of helplessness, even though, I assume, most Americans who get pink-slipped these days never see a pink slip. No, my vote is for "standardized test." That's right. You felt it, didn't you? Shivers up the spine. The stab of a No. 2 pencil. And oh! Those monstrous, monotonous bubbles. They may as well be a legion of eyes staring back at your inadequacy. Pages1 2 next › last »

Just last week the Homes for Horses Coalition held an annual meeting at the Black Beauty Ranch/ Doris Day Horse Rescue in Murchison Texas. Many of the attendees were funded travel stipends from the ASPCA to attend this meeting. Without the support of the ASPCA many of the steering committee members could not justify the expense to travel or the time to leave their rescues and or sanctuaries.
Homes for Horses Coalition is a focused group of Horse Rescue/Sanctuaries that are interested in establishing best practices for horse rescues, ending horse slaughter and decreasing reckless breeding practices. The leaders of this organization are the ASPCA, HSUS and AWI a brilliant collaborative effort to establish focused standards surrounding the equine rescue efforts in the United States.
The formation of this group will unite the hundreds of equine rescue/sanctuaries throughout the US in a focused effort to provide best practices within the equine rescue world. This united group approach will aid in communications to the general public about the need for rescues and sanctuaries as well as aid in a better understanding of what the goals of the rescue world are.
The leadership from the ASPCA, HSUS and AWI bring a broad range of knowledge for the Homes for Horses Coalition to gleen information from and pass through to the many rescue/sanctuary groups throughout the US. Focused and collaborative efforts have the best chance for affecting real change for the greater good of the equine world.

The situation was most difficult in Europe, where the market even declined from the previous year. The markets in Asia and North America grew slightly from the previous year. Vacon's revenues and orders increased in both the October-December quarter and the January-December 2012 full year compared to the periods for comparison in the previous year. The company's sales increased in 2012 especially in building automation and the marine industry. In contrast sales for the generation of solar energy and wind power fell sharply, accounting for only 3 % of the company's revenues in 2012, compared to 13 % in 2011. During 2012 Vacon succeeded in compensating for the fall in the sales of products for renewable energy generation by increasing its sales to other industrial sectors, at the same time raising its market share. Vacon's revenues increased sharply in October-December and January-December 2012 in the Asia Pacific region (APAC). Sales in North and South America also developed positively both in the October-December period and for the whole of 2012. Sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region rose in October-December, but declined slightly for the whole of 2012 as the result of weak demand for products for renewable energy generation and the general state of the economy in the region. Full year revenues in the EMEA region grew slightly from the previous year, if renewable energy is not included. The company's profitability measured in terms of the operating profit percentage improved both in October-December and in January-December 2012. Profitability improved particularly in the second half of 2012. Vacon carried out several measures in 2012 to improve profitability. The most important of these was the transfer of material sourcing to low-cost countries. Last year 50 % of material sourcing came from low-cost countries (40 % in 2011). During the final quarter of the year Vacon continued its release of new products with the launch of the VACON^® 100 Flow product, which is the latest AC drive in the VACON^® 100 product range. It offers a wide range of flow control functions for water and waste water treatment and for building automation applications. Vacon continued to strengthen its global standing in the fourth quarter of 2012 by establishing a regional centre in Singapore and a representative office in Kazakstan. Dividend proposal At the end of the financial year the distributable equity of the parent company stands at EUR 69.7 million. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 26 March 2013 that a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share be paid from the parent company's profit for the 2012 financial year of EUR 20.5 million and the remainder of the profit for the year be transferred to retained earnings. According to this proposal, a total of EUR 16.7 million would be paid in dividend. Prospects for 2013 Vacon estimates that the global AC drive market will grow considerably faster than average growth in industrial production, by an estimated 5-10 % in 2013. Investments to improve energy efficiency and economic growth in developing countries will support growth in demand for AC drives. Vacon is well placed to improve its profitability in 2013. Key factors in improving profitability are the cost benefit from transferring material sourcing to low-cost countries and the development of overall efficiency in operations. Market guidelines 2013 Vacon will continue the practice of announcing its market guidelines for the whole year in its financial statement bulletin and repeating them in its interim reports. The guidelines will be updated if the need arises. Vacon estimates that its revenues will increase 5 - 15 % and that its operating profit percentage excluding one-time items will be 10 - 12 % in 2013. Revenues in 2012 totalled EUR 388.4 million and the operating profit percentage excluding one-time items was 9.3 %. Vacon's goal is to achieve revenues of EUR 500 million in 2014. Its profitability target for 2014 is an operating profit of 14 %, and for return on equity the target is more than 30 %. Financial reports in 2013 Vacon is publishing three interim reports in 2013 as follows: *January-March: 23 April 2013 *January-June: 1 August 2013 *January-September: 22 October 2013 Formal statement This release contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the current views of the company's management. Due to the nature of these statements, they contain risks and uncertainties and are subject to changes in the general economic situation and in the company's business sector. Vacon in brief Vacon is driven by a passion to develop, manufacture and sell the best AC drives and inverters in the world - and provide customers with efficient product lifecycle services.

The Wilkins ice shelf in Antartica is on the verge of collapsing. The large ice mass is 92 miles long and 69 wide and floats on the ocean; it's disintegration won't have an immediate effect on sea levels. That will come later on down the road when the land based glaciers that have been held back by their sea-floating-brethren follow them off the land and into the water.
Scientists have found that Antarctica is definitively getting warmer. It's still damn cold there, just like it is outside my house here in Maine, but overall, the continent is seeing a warming trend that threatens to speed up the breakdown of the glaciers.
Warmer temperatures means more melting water, which channels and tunnels down through the ice to the ground and continues down slope, lubricating the slide of the land based glacier to the sea.
President Obama sure has his hands full. I don't envy his position- he's literally been put into the position of having to save the freakin' world. Has any President inherited as messy of a situation as this?

Holy Fuck: 'John Paul II failed to root out sex abuse in the Catholic Church' [PressTV]
- Uploaded by Ur_lnner_Voice on Apr 27, 2014
- Views: 185
Tens of thousands of people in the Vatican witnessed the canonization of the two popes. John the twenty-third reigned from 19-58 to 19-63. He set up the modernizing Second Vatican Council. John Paul the second reigned for nearly 27 years. This is the first-ever canonization of two pontiffs. While both popes were widely revered, there's been criticism that John Paul the second, who died nine years ago, has been canonized too quickly. Groups representing victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests say he didn't do enough to root out a scandal that emerged at the end of his pontificate. The scandal has hung over the Catholic Church ever since.

Hello, I play Ghosts on both Xbox One and Xbox 360 regularly. If I purchase the Season Pass on Xbox 360 will it transfer to the Xbox One? Or will it not because I've already upgraded?
Also, my brother purchased the season pass on the Xbox One thinking it was going to transfer to the Xbox 360 since "the season pass follows you within a console family". He felt like he was kicked in the nuts when he found out it doesn't transfer to the 360. If the season pass follows you within a console family it should go both ways. If it only goes one way, it should say it only goes one way. It should say "the season pass follows you from the 360 to the One"
That's also the actual question that I have. But you can read this article about the Season Pass. It goes for every games, not only on Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Introducing Season Pass Guarantee: Buy a Season Pass on Xbox 360, Get a Season Pass for the Same Game on Xbox One Free
Hey JetEye,
If you already digitally ungraded you should still be able to purchase the Season Pass for your Xbox 360 and transfer it over to the Xbox One. More info here One of Swords.
BkfstWidow has the right answer. The link provided does explain how the season pass works. Basically, if you want it for both platforms, you have to buy it for both platforms. You can't buy it once and use it twice.

Here we are at the end of another year, excited about what lies ahead, maybe a bit remorseful about things undone this year, maybe just sad and in pain and not caring. Wherever you are on your journey right now, this is a fantastic time to make shifts. We have the energy of so many other souls who are in the exact same place with us. Think of that... every person on this planet is on the same track, we are all preparing for yet another new year. That's a lot of synchronicity in our energy, use it.
There are a few things I tend to do every year, these are traditions that really started for me about four years ago, about the time my entire life changed.
The first was taken from an experience I had when a couple of friends took me to a new year's eve fire burning.
We all wrote down things we didn't want going into the new year with us. I could be wounds, habits, relationships, our past, whatever it was, you wrote it all down. At midnight we threw our lists into this enormous bonfire and consciously released all the things we'd written down.
It was a fun night and I hadn't had fun in a very long time at that point, but I didn't really expect anything to come of my burning some words I'd written on paper. What happened though was that anytime something from that paper came up for me after that, I said to myself, I let that go... and I'd release it again in that moment.
Burning that paper set up a habit for me of clearing things and that is a very powerful habit.
With that in mind that's the first thing I do at the end of the year.
Emotional Clearing
This year I started this process back in October, but I am at the end of a personal decade of pain and I am ready to be free of that, so I did the extra work to clean out my emotional cupboards bare!
For most, you can do

I'm an easy going lad, recently learned how to unicycle and barter vigourously at asian (aren't they all?) plant shops. Kind of a feminist, to the point, at least, that people agree on the meaning of the term.

Re: Commander Kirk
I'm not sure how closely Starfleet follows naval tradition, but from how I see it, Spock is not totally incorrect about calling Kirk 'Commander'.
Traditionally the commanding officer of a vessel is addressed as "captain" regardless of actual rank held though a flag officer in the chair may retain his/her normal title of address. Since the ship's master is
Captain, captains from other branches on board are verbally called by the next highest rank (Army/Air Force/Marine Captain -> Major) to avoid confusing the crew.
Kirk lost the command position, but I don't recall him losing rank. As he still holds the rank of Captain, he cannot be "promoted" as Commodore/Rear Admiral is a flag officer rank. Spock had no evidence that an Admiral such as Pike was assuming command rather than another captain, so the only other choice from his perspective was a verbal 'demotion' to Commander.

Coming Up for Air...Review
Ellie Calvin is caught in a dying marriage, and she knows this. With her beloved daughter away at college and a growing gap between her and her husband – between her reality and the woman she wants to be – she doesn't quite seem to fit into her own life.
But everything changes after her controlling mother, Lillian, passes away. Ellie's world turns upside down when she sees her ex-boyfriend, Hutch, at her mother's funeral and learns that he is in charge of a documentary that involved Lillian before her death. He wants answers to questions that Ellie's not sure she can face, until, in the painful midst of going through her mother's things, she discovers a hidden diary – and a window onto stories buried long ago.
As Ellie and Hutch start speaking for the first time in years, Ellie's closed heart slowly begins to open. Fighting their feelings, they set out together to dig into Lillian's history. Using both the diary and a trip to the Summer House, a mysterious and seductive bayside home, they gamble that they can work together and not fall in love again. But in piecing together a decades-old unrequited-love story, they just might uncover the secrets in their own hearts…
This was one that I really wanted to like. It was meant to be a heartwarming and beautiful novel about a woman searching for truth about her family and discovering what she really wants out of life. Unfortunately, Ellie wasn't someone I really connected with. Her mother was a shrew and her husband was a one-dimensional selfish jerk.
I liked the southern beach setting and I enjoyed Ellie's discovery about her mother's past and how it explained Ellie's relationship with her mother. I just wish I could have liked Ellie.

The LEUKEMIAS constitute less than 5% of malignancies in most countries, but they have received extensive epidemiologic attention because of the high case-fatality rate and the heterogeneity of a growing number of recognized subtypes.1,2 Leukemia was the first neoplasm to occur in excess among the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, to develop with increased incidence among patients treated with alkylating agents, and to be conclusively linked with a human retrovirus. Because these and other recognized etiologic factors account for only a small fraction of all leukemia cases, more recent epidemiologic investigations have attempted to quantify leukemia risks that may be associated with cigarette smoking and other more common exposures, including diagnostic roentgenograms, non-ionizing electromagnetic field exposures, solvents, and other chemicals. In this issue of the Archives, Brownson and colleagues3 present a meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies examining the cigarette smoking—leukemia relationship.

Finding Faith in DNA
Kandil, Caitlin Yoshiko, Moment
Why do some people believe in God, while others don't? Is it a person's choice, the result of upbringing or simply divine will? Theologians have grappled with this question for centuries, but over the last few years, scientists have jumped into the age-old debate to offer an entirely new explanation: genes.
One of the most attention-grabbing efforts to link spirituality and genetics was put forth by geneticist Dean Hamer in his 2004 book, The God Gene: How Faith Is Hardwired into Our Genes. According to Hamer's hypothesis, spirituality is a "biological mechanism" that is imprinted on our DNA. "We have a genetic predisposition for spiritual belief that is expressed in response to, and shaped by, personal experience and the cultural environment," writes Hamer, who years earlier claimed to find the genetic basis of male homosexuality. Although other scientists have put forth this idea in the past, Hamer became the first to identify the gene where God may reside--VMAT2, an acronym for vesicular monoamine transporter 2.
The idea of a God gene echoes long-standing religious debates about whether a person's level of faith is determined by free will or destiny. In Judaism, discussions about hashgachah pratit, or divine providence, are the subject of rabbinic literature and Jewish philosophy, and ask to what extent God interferes in the details of a person's life. In other words, is a person's religious behavior guided by her own choices, or by some immutable force, be it God or DNA?
The Bible also alludes to this in Genesis, when God promises Abraham that his descendants would always have a special relationship with Him by virtue of their bloodline. Rather than a gene, however, God says that a "seed" will be passed "throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant." This pact gave birth to the idea of the "chosen people," a group whose progeny would have a preordained--and inherited--closeness to God. But Moshe Tendler, an Orthodox rabbi and professor of biology and medical ethics at Yeshiva University, dismisses the notion that God is in the genes. "I attribute religiosity to the working mind of man searching to answer the mystery of life," he says.
The God gene has also come under scrutiny within the scientific community. Hamer's study has yet to be replicated (true of much research in the field of behavioral genetics) and has not been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Although he coined the phrase "the God gene," Hamer himself admits the term is problematic. VMAT2, he explains, only accounts for one percent of all genetic variance. "That means that most of the inherited effects on self-transcendence can't be explained by VMAT2," he writes. …
