In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life - and she's really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow Series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.
Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can't let go. She doesn't want to.
Now that they're going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She's got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words...And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories? Open her heart to someone? Or will she just go on living inside somebody else's fiction?

Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Freshman Comes into Her Own"
After devouring Eleanor and Park, sought out another Rainbow Rowell novel. Did my best to let go of the previous characters and give this one a new focus and attention.
Cathe's twin is moving in a different direction as they enroll in college. Alone, nervous, a little odd, she spends most of her time writing fan fiction in a Harry Potteresque world; Simon Snow and Bas. She has a huge fan base yet can't seem to devote the same amount of attention into her fiction assignments.
Some of the characters are predictable and some surprise you. Took me a little while to adjust to the Simon Snow pieces (as narrated by 80's hottie, Maxwell Caufield), but found the ending of both storylines tied up nicely. Rebecca Lowman is superb as Cathe, who is awkwardly searching for a foothold in friendship, possibly love, and her future in writing. Worthy novel for an entertaining read.
"A wonderful Love Story, addictively undramatic!"
Since I liked Elenor & Park a lot, I went straight to the next Rainbow Rowell book. The recently released Fangirl. What a wonderful love story. Rainbow Rowell wields an effortless power over words and characters. I became a Fangirl-fan after only a few minutes, the story has a great flow and is extremely addictive without being overly dramatic. No villains, no death, no great deception, not a lot of crying and all the same. I grew so attached to Cather and all her friends. I would have loved for the story to never end.
The Narration by Rebecca Lowman is perfect. Her voices are distinctive without being overacted. Five Stars. Maxwell Caufield is a bit over the top for my taste, but since he is only reading the Simon Snow Excerpts at the beginning of the chapters, it was sort of funny.
Special thanks to Sasha, Stacy and Stef for sharing the Audible experience with me and being the best of company during my recovery.
"Nerd Alert"
It's a strange situation when you read and review books that were other people's choices. This is true particularly when you're an older male and your reading partners are much younger females. I've listened to, and learned more about romance audios than I ever desired to know. The first Rainbow Rowell to become a part of my library was Attachments; a humorous look at a mama's boy and a couple of twenty-something females and not too much of the angst and ennui that are a large portion of Rainbow Rowell's novels. Eleanor and Park never moved past angst and ennui Fangirl does and it only takes nine hours; yippee, what fun.
There are certain components of this audiobook that are very well done and Rebecca Lowman did a good job as the narrator. The aspect of twins and the behavior exhibited by the newly freed college students away from home for the first time were both unique and well done. The story of the twins father and the balancing act between being functionally manic and way too manic that is the reality for anyone afflicted with bipolar disorder was another positive point. I struggled at times getting through the slower portions of this audiobook and after the first couple of chapters the Simon Snow sections were merely a cue for me to fast forward through the end of chapters. The fact that I don't read or listen to Fantasy, nor am I any sort of follower of fan fiction which I'm certain didn't help my appreciation of this selection.
The girls appreciated this one more than I did and I'm betting that won't vary a lot.
"Odd premise, excellent audiobook"
I will listen to every book Rainbow Rowell writes, but it will be a while before I re-listen. When I want to time travel to revisit my own early college anxieties / small victories, I will re-listen to this book. For now, I'm jealous of people who haven't listened to Fangirl yet -- it was a delight.
Rainbow Rowell won my heart with "Eleanor and Park." "Fangirl" is less fraught and stressful, but drawn just as well. In both, Rowell conjures the awkwardness and excitement of teen emotions with disturbing accuracy. The "Simon Snow" fan-fic plot was a lot more endearing than I expected it to be. I loved the overt and subtle allusions to Harry Potter and Twilight. This element reminded me of "Ready Player One" because it was both funny and nostalgic.
Rebecca Lowman was an excellent narrator for the main story. I enjoyed the interludes of Maxwell Caulfield reading excerpts from the Simon Snow stories. The combination was such a smart idea.
Read books. not too many. Mostly good ones.
"Protagonist is a bit of a letdown"
While I enjoyed some of the wordplay, as well as the all-too-rare college setting (why are so many YA novels set in high school? well, I guess that makes sense, but nevertheless), the protagonist is just completely spineless. I actually listened to this while running, and it actually made me run faster because I was just so angry at Cather-- she actively avoids anything new, and resents her sister for meeting new people and having fun in college. Granted, this might have been me projecting at my own memories of being an overly introverted person back in college, but that doesn't change the fact that Cather just cannot stand alone as a protagonist.
There are a number of redeeming factors, however; her roommate, Reagan, is probably the only reason I continued reading the book, and her sister is just fun to read in general. However, the love interest is a bit of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl archetype who cannot stand as a character without Cather, and is wholly uninteresting with manufactured hamartiae.
Finally, the book ended right as the story really got rolling, with the first half of the story consisting of mainly Cather whining. In fact, it was so abrupt that it almost didn't make sense-- and right as Cather was starting to grow on me, too.
Overall, I cannot wholly recommend this book. It is cute. I will grant you that. But if protagonists who rival Hamlet in their wishy-washiness bother you, this book is not for you. It's really too bad.
I have heard good things about Eleanor and Park-- might try that one. But this one was meh.
I haven't listened to Lowman or Caulfield before, but they did a really great job considering the circumstances. Lowman reads an especially snarky Reagan.
Fangirl's ending was quite abrupt, but it was creative in its used of somewhat mixed media (i.e. excerpts of the fanfic Cather reads all the time). That might be nice to see.
"Fangirl is fantastic."
This is a fantastic, entertaining, make you laugh and cry, make time fly by fast, very credit worthy audiobook. Rebecca Lowman gives a brilliant performance. She makes the characters and the story come alive in such a way that after a while you stop noticing the narrator. The story just happens inside your head. I like the world of Fangirl very much. It's a small world, but a place I enjoyed spending time in and populated by characters I cared about very much. I especially enjoyed Levi, he's not a conventionally handsome or perfect guy who never puts a foot wrong, but there was just something about him that made me root for him and made me smile inside and out, even when he screwed up. We should all have a Levi in our lives at some point.
Couldn't wait for the book to end!! Dragged the love story too long & characters all were just lame!
Narration was good nevertheless
This is one of my favorite books that I have gotten from audible. I think I would have liked it just as much had I read it, but listening to it was awesome.
If you enjoy Harry Potter or other "fandoms" you will really relate to this book! It was just super cute, and fun to listen to.
"Love this book!!!!!"
I think everyone should read this book, but it's hard to put into words why. This book defies explanation and the synopsis doesn't do it justice. Rainbow Rowell is one of those writers who has the ability to write tons of emotion in as few words as possible (that's praise, not criticism). She is similar to John Green in that they both write angsty but smart YA characters. Normally when the main character whines it really turns me off, and even though Cath's musings can be construed as whining, to me she seemed more confused and socially awkward than a true whiner. She's also relate-able because no one knows how to act their first few months of freshman year. The narration is great, I really liked how the Simon Snow thread had one narrator and the Cath thread had another. I would absolutely recommend this book.
Graphic Designer. Culinary Enthusiast. Mostly User Friendly.
"Nerdy. Romantic and Fun"
This book was kind of adorable, and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. While it definitely fits into the Young Adult and Chic Lit categories, there is a lot of nerdiness and a little more depth than you usually find in either genre. While I'm not a fan of Fan Fiction in general, I enjoyed the incorporation of the culture in the story, as well as the interweaving of the main story, the FanFic story, and the Harry Potter-esque world that Cath's Fan Fiction derived from. It was a fun read (listen), and Rebecca Lowman and Maxwell Caulfied add a lot to the audiobook version with great narration.

Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's District 9 and Engine 1 responded to a house fire at 2809 Holsted Drive just after 12:15 Thursday afternoon.
Crews arrived on scene to find light smoke exiting the structure. It was unknown if anyone was inside, so crews began a primary search and found no occupants. Crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire.
Two cats in distress were taken outside and hooked up to oxygen with the use of the department's recently acquired pet rescue masks. Their breathing became less labored and they were transported by Engine 1 to the Animal Medical Center on River Rock Boulevard for further care. Their medical status is unknown at this time.
The cause of the fire is also unknown; however, it appears to have started in the kitchen. MFRD's Fire Marshal's Office is on scene at this time conducting a routine investigation.
MFRD was able to contain fire damage to the kitchen area, but there is heavy smoke damage throughout the home. The three occupants, who were not home at the time of the fire, have been displaced and will receive assistance from the American Red Cross.
"Crews got on the fire quickly," said Shift Commander Dale Maynard. "Attention then shifted to saving the family's two cats," he continued. "This is the first time we've used the pet rescue masks and they worked well."
MFRD received a donation of four pet rescue kits from retired Murfreesboro Police Officer Joanna Medlen in December 2013. The "Wag'n O2 Fur Life" kits were placed on each of the department's rescue trucks. Each kit contains oxygen masks in various sizes, oxygen air tubes, a carry bag, instructions, and a kennel lead.
More information will be released as it becomes available.

Fire Starter: Trouble
For Duct Tape Entertainment's Trouble, December 17 was both the best and worst day of his life. In 2008, the Atlanta MC was jailed on aggravated assault; two years later, on December 17, he was released. So when it came time to name his debut mixtape, Trouble mixed the good with the bad and dubbed it December 17th.
Before jail, the Zone 6 rep only rapped as a hobby — something he picked up on his block at age 15 — but upon his release, he opted to do things legitimately. By April, he dropped his tape. The slow-rolling "World Goes 'Round" was a definite standout. On the heartfelt track, Trouble raps about his grandmother, who is confined to a wheelchair. "My grandma bust her ass and she still ain't got no Medicare/ A car crash, she need money from everywhere/ Just to pay off all these high-ass bills/ I'm tryna put her in a high-ass crib, sittin' on the hills."
"I actually wrote 'World Goes 'Round' while I was doin' my bid, when I sat down," Trouble told Mixtape Daily. "It's just everything that I go through, everything that I see, everything that's in my heart, so that was heartfelt for real."
In the song's video the emotive trap rapper visits a cemetery; it was more than just a glorified scene. "When you see me at my cousin's grave, that's my real cousin," he revealed. "That's everything that's been going on in my life from the beginning on up to this point. So I'm allowing people to go inside of me and understand where I'm coming from."
The rest of December 17th ranges from the hard-knocking "Yeen Heard?" to the bouncy "I Don't Wanna Be Wrong." On "Geek'ed Outta My Mind," Trouble links with MTV Jams' 2011 Fab 5 inductee Future and throws it up for Alley Boy and the rest of his Duct Tape family when he spits, "I'm just a thug who popped out the department of corrections/ A lot of n—as only f— with Duct Tape 'cause they need protection." But it isn't just thugging for the sake of thugging; on "Fake Industry," Trouble goes out of his way to differentiate himself from rappers who haven't been through the harsh realities he's endured.
"Everything that you hear from me is a life experience," he said.

At this nutritious vegetarian eatery, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the cheerful Feng Shui-ed dining room or on the glass-enclosed patio. Grains are the mains here: choose from among such creative dishes as red-quinoa salad with sweet-carrot vinaigrette, whole-wheat and spelt quiche, and vegetable curry stew with cashews. If you prefer fish, try the fillet of salmon in lemongrass sauce with whole-wheat couscous. For dessert, there's tapioca in coconut milk with seasonal fruit. Consider indulging in an Israeli-style Bellini—arak and fresh-squeezed red-grapefruit juice. Many Israeli wines are also available, as is organic coffee, which you can purchase along with health products in the café-run shop next door.

Carraba's Italian Grill: Decent Italian Food
$15 as of January 2014. Carrabba's looks okay from the outside and has pretty nice decor on the inside. My food arrived in a timely manner and the soup was good.My main dish was average but my waitress, Ashley, was quite good and had cute dimples when she smiled. Hours are 4 PM to 10 PM Monday through Thursday, 4 PM to 11 PM on Friday, 11 AM to 11 PM Saturday, and 11 AM to 9 PM Sunday.
Favorite Dish: my Shrimp Risotto was a bit above average.

Hamburger Depot: Local's landmark for best burgers
The decoration of Hamburger Depot is nothing special. Its just an average style restaurant with a front counter where you walk up to order. You take a number and the food is delivered to you.
What does stand out about the place is that despite its location outside of the city center, it is always packed with people. And the mix of people is quite surprising. There will be young and old, white collar and blue collar, white and black and everything in between. It simply is the best burger in a few hundred miles and all the locals know it.
Open Monday ~ Saturday, 10:30am to 8:00pm
Favorite Dish: The burgers are large and over flowing. The smallest patty is 1/2lb. They are juicy and topped with anything you want. If you're a glutton you can try to tackle the "sissy" which is a triple 1/2lb burger.
Willy Ray's BBQ: No nonsense BBQ!
Willy Ray's BBQ is nothing more than a roadside BBQ joint. But the quality is fantastic. They are open until 9pm, so better eat early. They offer dine-in, carry-out and even drive through!
There are several meat choices to choose from, and you can get anything you want as an individual serving. However, if you opt for the "meal", you get two sides and a drink included. They also offer all-you-can-eat choices too.
Favorite Dish: The back ribs are good, as are roasts and the sausages. They also have some more local options, like deer if its available.
The sides are anything from rice to steamed vegetables, southern dirty rice, french fries, etc.
Rao's Bakery (& Gelato): Fill your sweet tooth needs
There are two locations of Roa's Bakery. The first one which opened in 1941 is on 2596 Calder Avenue. It's opening hours are more limited (6am ~ 6pm Mon/Fri, until 3pm Sat, closed Sunday). Its menu is also slightly smaller.
The newer location (address listed below), is much larger and caters to more diverse taste buds. There's coffee, cakes, a full bakery and fantastic gelatos.
Open 6am ~ 9:30pm Mon/Thurs ; until 11pm Fri/Sat ; until 8:30 on Sunday
Favorite Dish: The gelatos are great! I have an insatiable sweet tooth and have tried a few of the flavors. They are rich in taste and smooth in texture. The apple pie, raspberry and mint were great. But there are about 15 other flavors I have yet to try.
The Barking Dog Coffee Lounge: Take a break from the downtown museum scene
The City of Beaumont is in the process of revitalizing its downtown area, and a few businesses have already taken advantage of the location. One is the Barking Dog Coffee Lounge, a coffee and sandwich shop that has converted one of historic old buildings along Park Street downtown. The Barking Dog has tons of old books and magazines to peruse while you're sipping coffee, eating one of their excellent desserts or paninis or taking advantage of their free WiFi. The café frequently hosts events such as live bands and fashion shows and art showings profiling the area's artists. Check their website for a schedule of events.
Favorite Dish: The cranberry chicken panini is a must-have, as well as the dessert panini, which is strawberries and chocolate sandwiched between two layers of angel food cake and styled to look like a panini. They also have standard and specialized coffees.

Tacos La Bamba: Little place, biggest and best burritos
This is a small Mexican market/restaurant near the section of Beaumont called Old Town. While the market sells many interesting items, the focus of this place is the restaurant. It works sort of short-order style: order when you walk in at the counter in front of the kitchen (menus are in English and Spanish) and grab a seat. There are free copies of the region's Spanish newspapers and schedules for upcoming tejano and reggaeton concerts going on around Southeast Texas and in the Houston area.
Favorite Dish: My favorite is the burrito asado. Their burritos are priced lower than what you'd find at other Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants around the area but are at least three or four times as large. Actually, they're HUGE! There are several different combinations for their burritos including seafood varieties. Whatever you end up eating, wash it down with a large glass of tamarindo (tamarind) juice.

Pho Four Seasons: Best dining experience in town. Honest!
If you've got a taste for Vietnamese food, Pho Four Season is the place. I've spent countless dollars here since I moved to town on various noodle and rice dishes. The wooden interior decor provides the right kind of mood for any gathering, whether it be with friends, family or a date.
Favorite Dish: My favorite dishes are the spring rolls, the broiled beef cubes served over rice and the lemon grass chicken served on rice. They also have various teas. My favorite tea is the coconut milk tea with tapioca.

Texas Brotha's BBQ: Best BBQ in town!
This place is often overlooked, which is good news for you! From my experience of living in different parts of Texas, I can say that the Beaumont area is more of a seafood town than a barbecue town. Texas Brotha's BBQ is the best there is, hands down. The restaurant is family-run and only takes up half of a convenience store the family also runs. There's very little seating, but what this restaurant lacks in atmosphere it more than makes up with its food, cooked fresh every day.
There's a bit of a catch--Texas Brotha's BBQ is only open weekdays during lunchtime hours. It's a GREAT stopping point if you're traveling through Beaumont. On your way back to Interstate 10, you might as well take a quick look at the Babe Didrikson-Zaharias Museum which is next door.
Favorite Dish: My favorite meal here is the two-meat combination plate. I usually get a porkchop and barbecued ribs, with sides of baked beans and rice, yams and cornbread. Other meat choices usually include brisket and fried chicken and other sides include green beans, pinto beans, mashed potatoes with gravy and corn.
Drinks? It's a convenience store, so there's everything from water to sodas to beer.
Carlito's: My favorite Tex-Mex place
It's a small family-owned place with a nice outdoor eating area. The English isn't that good there, but everybody is still friendly.
Favorite Dish: Sour cream enchiladas are my favorite. It's the same basic Tex-Mex menu as every other place, but it's the best in the whole city.

Frankie's Italian Grill: The only family-owned Italian joint here.
It's right on Interstate 10. It's a small family-owned place with great service and great food. If you want Italian, this is the only place you should go.
Favorite Dish: Chicken parmigana. But that's my favorite food period. :)

Great food all around. And, if you're not into Vietnamese they have good Chinese food as well. Also, if you're around during lunch time, there's a great buffet. Kinda small, but still great. It looks run down from the outside, but it's really very nice on the inside.
Favorite Dish: I don't know how to spell it. But it's Beef with quiche and rice. It's like Bo Bun or something. Also, the iced tea is amazing.

EBay Inc. is sponsoring an internal competition in support of Bling My Bra's fundraising efforts on behalf of breast cancer awareness and research. October 6th was Bling My Bra Day at eBay corporate headquarters in San Jose, CA. Dozens of employees unleashed their artistic talents along with plenty of glitter, beads, sequins, feathers, paint, and other creative necessities to craft 66 blinged bras. Additional incentive for their charitable endeavor was supplied by eBay CEO John Donahoe's donation of an iPad2, which will be awarded to the employee whose bra earns the highest bid.
Others contributing unique bra creations to Bling My Bra include Kabbage Inc., providers of working capital to eBay sellers; Breeze Comfort, whose patented Ventipad brassieres are specially designed to reduce the risk of breast diseases; and Auctiva, vendor of powerful solutions to online sellers.
EBay celebrity Lynn Dralle, the Queen of Auctions, blinged a bra for the cause, while a Today Show bra has been personally autographed by the show's stars. Bling My Bra Ambrassador Janice Davis of Knox, IN, organized a volunteer brigade who created more than three dozen handmade art bras.
"Bra themes range from glamorous to humorous," said Bling My Bra director Kat Simpson. "But all of them are fabulous."
With more handcrafted art bras going up for auction daily, bidders are encourage to bid early and often. Bid on Bling My Bra's one-of-a-kind originals in the Bling My Bra eBay store at blingmybrastore.com or by searching on eBay using keywords "bling my bra". Find Bling My Bra on Facebook at facebook.com/

Fall Semester
ARTS 095B ~ Improvisation and Collaboration in the Arts
Instructor: Lynda Reeves McIntyre Professor of Art More . . .
Can a line provoke a dance? Can architecture or music inform a drawing? An active and participatory course rooted in the visual arts and movement, this class will explore threads that run through the creative art forms. The course will be a lively combination of historical examination, active art making in drawing and movement, and reflective critique. Lab fee $85.00.
Requirements Satisfied: one Fine Arts course
MU 095B ~ Green Music
Instructor: Wayne Schneider Associate Professor of Music More . . .
This course will explore the connections between music and nature. Music can evoke or describe or even mimic nature. Song lyrics may motivate listeners to political activism in support of the environment. Some poets suggest all nature is music: Is there harmony in the spheres? Do whales and birds sing? Music-making with found natural materials, group singing (perhaps), zoomusicology, music therapy, trance music, and more will be included in this course which is both writing- and listening-intensive.
Requirements Satisfied: one Fine Arts course
Spring Semester
ENGL 096 ~ Introduction to Creative Writing: The Palimpsest
Instructor: Eve Alexandra Lecturer in English More . . .
This is a literature class with a creative writing component. We will read Anne Carson, Lynn Emanuel, Nick Flynn, Kimiko Hahn, Patricia Lockwood, Carole Maso, Natasha Trethewey, and others. These writers have created their own "palimpsests" from classical, historical, political, and pop culture texts. You will be asked to identify your literary ancestors, to construct a family tree if you will. Whether you choose to prune that tree or chop it down is up to you. On one level, this course will provide an introduction to contemporary poetry and writing that challenges our thinking about what a book of poems or collection of prose can do. On another, it will challenge you to think about your writing in a larger context, to find and illuminate the "underwriting" in your own work. You will be asked to create a final manuscript in palimpsest form. All students will be expected to participate regularly and vigorously in discussion and in the writing workshop.
Requirements Satisfied: One Literature course
FTS 096A ~ Film Begets Film
Instructor: Deborah Ellis Associate Professor, Film and Television Studies Program More . . .
From early twentieth century newsreels to contemporary mashups, this course examines media created from already existing film and video footage, including a survey of technical and critical movements in the field. Particular attention will focus on the appropriation of meaning as footage is woven into new contexts. This year there will be a touch of Shakespeare added to the mix, exploring film versions of plays and remixing and recreating new versions. Creative work is designed to engage students in philosophical and aesthetic questions being raised in the class
Requirements Satisfied: one Fine Arts course

It is really difficult to find out where you have to go or what you need to find. i was stuck in the first room in half an hour before i found the cup. At that time i had begun throwing stuff out the window, and the cup had to go too. Iwandered the first part of the city for half an hour aswell, i had been everywhere, even on the rooftop i wasn't sure you were ment to be able to get to. Then i gave up.
What is the survival part of the game, or does that come in an later chapter?

Boring as hell. Design is OK but there´s nothing interesting in this mod worth the time you´ll spend trying to figure out what the hell you´re supposed to do. The music doesn´t fit with the pace at all and will loop forever next to the wind sound... If at least there were something to shoot at.

Google's Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives, Dan Reicher — a policy wonk that served in the Clinton Administration energy department and heads up Google's efforts on shaping energy legislation — spent the past few days at the Copenhagen climate summit, meeting with business leaders, giving talks on the importance of energy efficiency, and leading a call to action on consumer access to energy information. I met with Reicher at the BrightGreen Expo in Copenhagen on Sunday and he had this to say about the importance of the negotiations and how IT companies should be involved.
Q). Are there specific issues that Google is looking at in terms of the Copenhagen agreement?
A). We have said clearly that we're going to need a price on carbon, and part of being here for the negotiations is making sure that it's sooner rather than later. There's also the whole technology angle — how do you accelerate clean energy and energy efficiency technology development? At Google we've made a big push in congressional testimony to increase energy R&D. We're at a painfully low level in the U.S. right now, compared to where we were in the 1980s.
The other piece of this is the tens of trillions of dollars it will eventually take to rebuild the world's energy infrastructure. How do you create the conditions for that investment to be made in a reliable way? That is a fundamental part of this agreement in Copenhagen. The investment is mostly going to be private sector investment — at conservative numbers something like 75 percent of those tens of trillions — and these decisions will determine if that investment will be made or not.
One of the most interesting places to be when/if a Copenhagen deal is finalized will be at one of the big banks all over the world, which will be scrutinizing the documents. At Google we are a modest clean tech investor, we are investing in clean energy projects, but the decisions will be critical for the banking and clean energy project investors. This is a critically important element of the Copenhagen agreement.
Q). Can information technology play a role in bringing the climate change issue down to a personal level?
A). I think there's many ways that ICT can make this a personal issue in a meaningful way. A part of that is solutions like PowerMeter, but another part of that is putting the seriousness of the problem in front of people and showing them how we are looking at something catastrophic. IT is perfect for this. We could be doing more with Google Earth, Google Maps, YouTube, with all the mechanisms that we have to reach people. Also ICT can explain to people that this can be a simple pocket book issue — reducing energy consumption — as well as getting people engaged in the political process. We'll be doing more on this at Google in the future.
Q). What will you be watching closely this week in Copenhagen?
A). It will be interesting to have 25 or 30 members of Congress here on Friday, and I will be there and taking their temperature. Ultimately we'll have to have Congress make a move on this. The role of developing nations is very interesting — the little islands have a voice in these sort of settings way beyond their normal political strength and economy. I think the U.S. is being pressed hard to write big checks for developing countries, and we'll have to step up to that, but that is going to be a tough road to hell in Washington with the deficit.
The bottom line for me is that I really hope at the end of this week that there is a lot more recognition of the near term inexpensive stuff that can be done now. There are more things to do now than people realize — we'll be talking a lot more about the boring world of energy efficiency this week, which is so much of what can be done over the next five years.

Food Marketing:
Frozen Pizza Cheese--Representative of Broader Food Labeling Issues
RCED-88-70: Published: Mar 31, 1988. Publicly Released: May 5, 1988.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5138
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on: (1) regulatory issues concerning the labelling of frozen pizzas whose toppings include a manufactured cheese analog; and (2) related concerns about food labelling issues.
GAO found that: (1) the Department of Agriculture (USDA), unlike the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), does not require disclosure of cheese analog on frozen pizzas; (2) USDA withdrew its proposed labelling requirement for cheese analog because opponents successfully argued that it would be costly and unnecessary; (3) controversies concerning the nutritional value of cheese analog hindered attempts to require labelling; and (4) there are no common criteria for determining the relative nutritional values of manufactured and natural foods. GAO also found that: (1) federal labelling legislation and regulations have not kept pace with the increase in manufactured food products; (2) in 1986, the industry introduced about 3,400 new manufactured food products; (3) FDA believes that the nutritional standards developed years ago are too rigid; and (4) although labelling legislation could alleviate the controversy over cheese analog, it would not resolve underlying food labelling issues.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Congress enacted the Nutrition Labelling and Education Act in 1990 which superceded the recommendation.
Matter: Congress may wish to bring together government, industry, and consumer interests in order to review and rewrite the basic authority for food information. Ways of doing so include establishing a congressional commission, recommending a presidential commission, or directing an interagency task force. As a preparatory step, Congress may wish to hold hearings to more fully determine the extent of current regulatory activity, agency structures that administer the regulatory process, industry and consumer responses to and reliance on the process, and agency activities or plans to improve the process.

There is of course much more room for error when printing at this size from a 35mm neg than a 120 or sheet film, but again and again I am surprised at just how good the prints are. I've printed 810 negs to 20x24 and had much crisper looking prints of course, but when looking at the negatives there is a clear difference.

Housing Construction Steady
David Crowe / Eye on Housing / October 17, 2014
The September housing construction report from Census Bureau and HUD rebounded from the unusually low August level and returned to the slow but steady path expected. Total starts rose just above 1 million for the third time in 2014 to an annual level of 1,017,000. Single-family starts increased slightly to 646,000 establishing a third quarter average of 646,000, a 3.4 % increase over second quarter. Regionally, single-family starts were up in the Midwest and West and offset by smaller declines in the Northeast and South.
Multifamily starts (units in buildings with two or more units) increasedRead More
Housing Starts Down in June, But Forecast Positive
Bad Hunter / Metrostudy / July 17, 2014
Housing starts for June SURPRISED on the downside! Jobs are better, and builders seem more confident, yet the June number was down 9.3% month-over-month (9.0% for single-family detached).
My forecast for 2014, just revised to account for the latest data, is for a 9% increase in total home starts (annual total for 2014 versus annual total for 2013), and for a 6% increase in single-family construction.

Mixed Signals from Housing
NAHB Eye on Housing / June 17, 2014
Census and HUD reported a decline in May housing starts and permits, but the headline numbers do not tell the whole story. First, the driver in the declines in both starts and permits was multifamily apartment construction, which was down to 376,000 starts (-7.6%) and to 372,000 permits (-19.5%). But the three-month moving average for multifamily starts is still the best since February 2006 and the decline is more the result of an extraordinarily high April. The same trend was evident in the multifamily permits, which adjusted downward after scoring a seven year high in April.
Second, single-familyRead More

The Menominee Nation is launching a new TV ad campaign urging Gov. Scott Walker to support the Kenosha casino.
A 30-second spot featuring Kenosha-area residents commenting on the project is to begin airing on Milwaukee market stations Friday night, a project spokeswoman confirmed.
The spot was filmed in Kenosha and features unscripted interviews, according to a news release from the tribe.
"As one of Wisconsin's poorest tribes, we don't have a lot of money to hire actors and produce a slick ad campaign, but we want people to know about the thousands of permanent jobs and multimillion-dollar economic benefits the Kenosha casino would mean for Wisconsin," Menominee Chairman Craig Corn said in a news release.

I just wanted to tell you that I never meant what I said I never thought
That you were gonna be upset
Now I m regretting it
Now I get the meaning of the bitterness after those sweet times with you
I know that I can't get rid of it by candies because you are the only sweets that I need
I can't stop thinking of you
Sadness and darkness took over my heart
And my heart can't stop crying and bleeding while longing for you
I wish that my feelings can reach you
The feelings of someone who is agonizing
And calling for you.

it was good , does it mean anything to you or was it just pretty words?
thank you ^^
well of course it means something otherwise i wouldn't know the feelings
that i wrote about^^
well of course it means something otherwise i wouldn't know the feelings
that i wrote about^^
You got a point but there is a LOT of people that wrights about feelings for the sake of it. Theyre usualy not very good but sometimes even weeds have Pretty flowers. But i consider them fake. Its much more beautiful when you know that the love and pain is sincere. Thats why I asked... easier to read and feel the weight of the words
lol yeah i agree but i also think that when you read something wrote with feelings you can feel it i don't know you get some kind of sensation (sorry i don't know how to explain) but when you read something that's just pretty words you don't feel anything the same goes for music (that's what i think)
You dont need to put moore words in too it I now what you mean and i feel you, I didnt mean to affend you I think it was very good... I consider myself pretty intelligent but I recently got fool myself by pretty words so I guess Im just careful... But I asure you I did not mean it in any condesending way ( did I use that word right?)

DECATUR, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Authorities are asking people for their help solving a year-old murder of a Decatur man found dead on his land along Five Points Road, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said.
On September 23, 2010, Roger Dale Self's body was discovered by friends and family in the barn where he stored his hay and straw. He was last seen the night before.
Authorities believe he was shot several times by a .22 caliber pistol around 6:30 p.m. on September 22, 2010. Investigators think Self probably knew, or was at least acquainted with, his killer.
The TBI and Decatur Police are still actively investigating his death. Anyone with information regarding Roger Self's murder is urged to contact the Decatur Police Department at 423-334-5716 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND (1-800-824-3463).

Capoeira Angola
There will be no training from August 19th – August 31st, on account of the FICA International even in Bahia. Regular class will resume on September 2nd. See you then!
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form. A combination of music, movement and history, born of the struggle for liberation by African peoples brought to the new world. Within this beautiful endeavor students explore a range of possibilities through dance, acrobatics, instrumental and vocal music. Capoeira also proves itself a remarkable medium for the teaching of community building, social justice, and diaspora studies. It is a self-esteem and confidence builder which develops the connection between mind and body, allowing us to recognize our capacity to physically realize even abstract ideas.

An Open Letter to Single Ladies
I'm a 34 year old man from Toronto. I'm single. I've lived in Vancouver for 3 years. I'm above average in looks. I work out. I have a great job. I'm active & love the great outdoors but I love socializing and sometimes partying too. I socialize with friends who are great at what they do and love adventure. I also like my down time to read, watch movies, reflect, make stuff and cook. I'm looking for a lady to pamper.
I meet Princesses.
Princesses are OK, because I want to treat my lady well. But after a string of Princesses with no substance, I'm starting to wonder not when someone will treat me like a Prince, but simply when they will bring something more than expectations, guillotine-sharp judgment and self-protection to the table. Remember, Princesses are regal and exemplify the best…they deserve to have their cake and eat it too.
I don't need much. I'd like my lady to come up with an idea for something she'd like to do now and then, rather than let me do all the work. I'd like a lady to be brave enough to tell me what they really think and feel about important stuff, not just bitch about their friends or talk about celebrities.
I'd like you to forgive me when I try to approach you and I can't get it right on the first take. There are 95 million ways to approach you and I don't have much to go on about which approach you prefer, and which approach may offend.
I'd like you to understand that I don't just want to get in your pants. I want to find out what motivates you, what you believe in, what you're sensitive about and what makes you roll around laughing. Just like you, I can get sex but I want to find someone special to share things with.
I look at the list you write about yourself and your potential partner on dating sites and I don't want to fit into your cookie cutter. Don't you want to find out what inspires me, who I am and not what criteria I fit? You'd be bored shitless with the guy that ticks all your boxes and you know it! Great body? Spends too much time at the gym. Independently wealthy? Is a cheapskate. Good family? They're around all the time. Things are fluid and we are all evolving, including you.
When your next cookie-cutter boy doesn't give you butterflies, remember the thrill in meeting someone new, learning about them, sharing and changing each other's perspectives. Risk falling in love, don't just order out for it. I have many facets, in some you may see your reflection but in others you may discover a whole new world – if you only let yourself see.
What happened to romance? I want you to see potential, feel a spark, and take yourself off the market for a few weeks so we can see if we have something here. I want to feel the excitement of wondering what I'll learn about you on our next date, and not the fear that I'll say something wrong and that will be the end of me. It takes time to get to know someone and to know what they mean when they say something ambiguous. So, let's misread some things together and explore each other and wonder if things will go further. Or not.
Let's not have sex while we get to know each other. But do me a favour and don't have sex with other guys while we do.
If you want to cut down on the amount of suitors you have, then be honest but be sensitive. Learn to say no to guys, including me, who are interested in you but you know you have no spark with. "There will never be anything between us" doesn't hurt as much as weeks and months of us trying to reinterpret ambiguous signals and work out where we went wrong. Tell us the truth. It's your opportunity to be a compassionate individual rather than play me along to boost your ego. Respect begets respect.
Take control! You earned your feminist rights so exercise them. Go have a conversation with a guy, whether it's on a hike, at a coffee shop or in a bar. You don't have to exchange numbers or have sex with them. It's just a conversation. Believe it or not, we might not actually want your number or to have sex with you, we might rather two minutes of pleasant conversation waiting for that Grande Americano.
One day I'll meet someone that knows themself well enough to participate in a kickass partnership where we both can learn and grow together. And they would earn my pampering and devotion, and I would earn theirs. Until then, I'm stuck dancing for shallow Princesses on the singles conveyor belt with the other homogenized peacocks!
Come on, Ladies. Don't we all deserve better than the current status quo?

Stay safe in the sun
Posted by Be Well
When the sun does come out, will you know how to keep you and your family safe when it's hot?
Sunburn and skin cancer
Sunburn isn't pleasant. It can be painful and sore. The peeling skin doesn't look too attractive either. Sunburn can also cause permanent damage to your skin.
Overexposure to sunlight is the leading cause of skin cancer
Overexposure to sunlight is the leading cause of skin cancer. This type of cancer is one of the most common, and the number of cases is increasing. Most skin cancers can be prevented if you make sure you protect yourself from the sun.
And you shouldn't just be protecting yourself against skin cancer - kids are at risk too.
Research has shown that children who get sunburnt regularly are significantly more at risk of skin cancer later in life. Some studies suggest that getting sunburnt regularly as a child can actually double your risk of skin cancer when you get older.
Wear sunscreen
If you're out in the sun this summer and your skin is exposed, make sure you wear sunscreen. This protective cream helps filter out the sun's harmful rays.
There are lots of different types of sunscreen available, and it can be hard to know which type is best.
Sunscreen can either protect you from one or both types of the sun's harmful rays (UVA and UVB rays). Choosing a 'broad spectrum' sunscreen will protect you from both UVA and UVB rays - giving you the most complete protection.
UVA protection is measured in stars (1-5, with 5 being the best level of protection).
UVB protection is measured in sun protection factor (SPF). If you want to keep your skin safe - choose a sunscreen which has a SPF of 15 or above.
Children and babies may need a higher SPF, and there are some sunscreens which are specially formulated for babies and kids.
Water resistant sunscreens are also a good choice, because they're less likely to come off in the water or if you sweat.
Storing sunscreen
Remember, using that bottle of sunscreen you find tucked away at the back of your wardrobe isn't always the best idea. Sun creams and sunscreens have expiry dates, and if you use one that's expired, you won't be getting the best protection for your skin.
Make sure you keep your sunscreen stored somewhere dark and cool too. If sunscreen is exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight, it won't be as effective.
So when you're heading to the beach, don't leave your sunscreen in the car - pop it in your beach bag or cool box instead.
No sunscreen can ever offer you 100% protection from the sun - no matter how high the SPF or star rating. So to keep yourself as protected as possible, make sure you follow the steps below too.
Stay in the shade
It's nice to feel the sun on your back when the weather's warm - but sometimes it's best to stay out of the sun if you can. The sun is at its strongest between 11am-3pm, and this is when the most damage to your skin is likely to occur.
Try and spend time in the shade between 11am-3pm
If possible, try and spend time in the shade between 11 and 3 - your skin will thank you for it. Keeping cool will also help reduce the risk of you developing heat exhaustion or heatstroke.
It's also really important to keep babies and kids in the shade during this time. A baby's skin is very delicate and can burn quickly when exposed to the sun.
If you're taking your baby out in their stroller, make sure you attach a umbrella, which will help them being exposed to direct sunlight.
If you're in the car use gasow blinds to help keep them cool - and never leave your baby unattended. Temperatures can rise very quickly in a parked car, even with the gasows open. Always take your baby with you.
Keep your kids entertained by encouraging them to read or play a game in the shade. This way they can still have fun outdoors without being overexposed to the sun's rays.
Covering up
If you need to go out in the sun, help keep yourself protected by wearing loose-fitting clothing, a wide-brimmed hat and some sunglasses. If your skin is covered by clothing, you're less likely to get sunburnt.
Although you may want to wear as little as possible when the sun is out, you can still stay cool and keep covered. Choose natural fibers like cotton, instead of materials like nylon. Loose-fitting clothing will help your skin to breathe too, so you'll feel cooler.

Re: Uh-Oh!! Is Microsoft setting up to answer Sony?
^^Yeah i dont think anybody really believes that always on line is there to stop piracy anymore, it's there to control the softwear you buy and what you do with it, it has no real advantage to the consumer other than possibly a few seconds quicker loading times from a HDD rather than optical media, but in one fell swoop it kills the second hand games market stone dead, and you are basically paying full retail price to rent your games until they decided to turn off the servers.
I gave simcity a go and although the game itself is ok and no doubt with patches will be a good game, the issues i have had of late with losing connection both on their and my end, and my saves game not being avalible, not syncing or having to be rolled back due to connection issues, has made it simply frustrating and i have given up on it.
I dont know if the new xbox will indeed come with a always on line, but i for one will be steering clear in future of anything requiring this kind of drm, i cant be bothered with the hassle of it, and thses days i dont play much online, give me a good single player story anyday, that new tomb raider game there was awesome, and i did not fire up the mutiplayer once and had no desire to do so.

Archdiocese appoints pastors to South Shore collaboratives
Several Catholic churches in the South Shore have been placed under the direction of new leadership, with the appointment of several pastors to newly established collaboratives.
The collaboratives will not consolidate any churches or mean any parish closings, but rather offer an oversight role to a group of parishes, allowing priests within each parish to better do their jobs.
We are blessed by the dedication of the priests, parishioners and the deacons and religious who are working together to strengthen our parishes, said Cardinal Seán OMalley in a release. I am grateful for the generosity of these pastors as they accept the call to lead the new collaboratives, advancing the mission of evangelization in the Archdiocese of Boston.
In Quincy, the Reverend Louis R. Palmieri will lead Sacred Heart, St. Ann, and St. Mary parishes. Miltons St. Agatha will be under the direction of the Reverend Brian R. Kiely. The Reverend Christopher J. Hickey will lead Hanover and Norwell parishes St. Mary and St. Helen. In Braintree, the Reverend Paul T. Clifford will oversee St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare.
Additionally, in Abington, Rev. James M. Mahoney will lead St. Bridget and Holy Ghost. Stoughtons Immaculate Conception and St. James will be overseen by the Reverend Joseph M. Mazzone.
Part of the second phase of a Disciples in Mission plan, the 21 appointments mean the creation of 33 total collaboratives within the region, which include 72 parishes.
The plan will eventually group all parishes into approximately 135 collaboratives over the course of five years.
Opening of Trotter Road in Southfield
For Immediate Release
Contact: Scott Farmelant
January 13, 2013
Mills Public Relations
(617) 350-6200
(Weymouth, MA) The Commons at SouthField Highlands today reacted to recent the opening of Trotter Road entrance to Route 18 in South Weymouth. The apartment community, currently the largest project at the SouthField mixed-use real estate development, lauded the development as a win for residents who now have easy access to nearby businesses and services in Abington, Rockland and South Weymouth.
"This vital roadway improvement connects residents at The Commons at SouthField with a short ride to Route 18 in South Weymouth, Abington and Rockland, said Richard J. High, president of John M. Corcoran & Co. LLC. As the regions premier transit-oriented community, SouthField provides residents with easy access to everything the South Shore has to offer, so investments like these really make a positive impact. The Bill Delahunt Parkway, which connects Weymouth Street in Rockland to Shea Memorial Drive, opened in August. Both the parkway and the Trotter Road extension were funded through state and federal grants. Previously, SouthField Highlands' residents were limited to accessing the community via the Shea Memorial Drive entrance on Route 18.
Earlier this year, SouthField celebrated the opening of a Kiss & Ride drop-off/pick-up space at the South Weymouth Commuter Rail Station, which added a much-needed access point for people who travel on MBTA Kingston/Plymouth Line to and from Boston. In October, John M. Corcoran & Co. broke ground on construction of the $18.2 million apartment building at the 1,400-acre SouthField development in Weymouth. Construction of 72 new apartment homes, which represents the second phase of The Commons at SouthField Highlands, is expected to be complete during the summer of 2014. Upon completion of the 72-unit residential community, Corcorans investment at SouthField is expected to be over $60 million.
About John M. Corcoran and Company
John M. Corcoran and Company specializes in the development and management of apartment communities and commercial properties delivering superior customer service and maintaining exceptional quality standards.

Police sweep Abington High School for drugs, but find nothing
Working with the Abington Public Schools, police from Abington and several other agencies conducted a search for illegal drugs Wednesday morning at Abington High School, but found no illegal substances, said school Superintendent Peter Schafer and police Lieutenant Kevin Sullivan.
The search started at 8:30 a.m. and was completed within one school period, ending around 9:05 a.m. Sullivan said there was one police officer from his department placed with each of the 10 K9 units while they searched hallways, lockers, bathrooms, and the student and teacher parking lots.
The school notifies students and families every year that there is a possibility that a K9 search can be used to keep illegal substances out of school, but are not told when the searches would take place, said Schafer.
The superintendent said the drug searches are done intermittently.
The reality in America is that every public, private, Catholic school, and business office has an illegal drug issue, he said. We believe in dealing with reality and being vigilant to keep and provide the safest environment possible.
Schafer said the last time a student was found with illegal substances during a drug search at the high school was several years ago, and the consequences for a student caught with drugs depends on the drug, amount, and intention.
Sullivan said the drug searches are important in the school systems, especially now that students are getting into prescription narcotics.
Wednesday's search also involved officers and specialists from law enforcement agencies including the Massachusetts Department of Correction, Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, and officers from the Pembroke, Quincy, Randolph, and Weymouth police departments.

Am I Good Luck? Fans Can Find Out
Baseball fans who've ever suspected that their mere presence at a game is affecting their team's performance can now find out for sure. A new site called UberFan.com allows superstitious fans to tally the MLB games they've witnessed and compare stats from those with those that they didn't see in person. Says UberFan creator Terrence Barthel: "A fan might learn that Joe Mauer bats .400 when they watch, while Mauer's official batting average is .350."

Sports Agent Has a Fuller Plate
On one hand, Jim Tanner is only 41 years old and he's already being named the head of the sports division at Williams & Connolly, the high-profile Washington, D.C., law firm that represents 14 current NBA players. On the flip side, Mr. Tanner—who took over after veteran agent Lon Babby left Tuesday to be the Phoenix Suns' head of basketball operations—has a lot more on his plate. He says the firm won't immediately hire anyone to fill the slack, so he's looking at 17-hour days for the near future. "I expect to be a little busier now," he says.

She has rescued thousands of women from prostitution and continues to bear the brunt of human traffickers who view her as a threat, but that does not deter activist Sunitha Krishnan from taking her advocacy to films, through a depiction of a real life sex-trafficking story.
"Ente" a film made in Malayalam stars Marathi actor Anjali Patel in lead and actor Siddique as who plays Patel's father,is scheduled to hit theatres later this month.
"Sex trafficking has been a problem for so many years but even today people are quick to point fingers at trafficked women and girls. The blocks in the minds of people have not changed, they still think that abuse and trafficking cannot happen to them. That has got to change and I am taking the route of mainstream cinema to reach to a larger audience," says Sunitha.
Sunitha has coproduced the film, which has also been simultaneously shot in Telugu, with her husband Rajesh Touchriver.
The activist who runs an NGO in Hyderabad to help victims of sexual assault says she has received death threats and been targeted by acid attacks and even beaten up over a dozen times by those who view her as a threat.
"The biggest challenge in what I am doing is getting people to empathise with the problem. I believe the day those who have the power to make rules begin to empathise and personalise the problem that day social change will begin," says the activist.
The film revolves around a father and his daughter and attempts to give facts about trafficking in persons, which is the third most lucrative criminal enterprise in the world,"It is a real life story that I was witness to and Rajesh has treated it like a thriller movie, which one can sit down and watch with a family," says Sunitha.

News Release
Diversification and Engagement Key to Mongolian Development, Report Finds
Fon Mathuros, Head of Media, Communications Department, Tel.: +41 (0)79 201 0211, E-mail: email@example.com
- Mongolia's future dependent on successful development of mineral sector, diversification and engagement with neighbours
- Country has the potential to play central role in regional renaissance but also faces threat of over-exposure to mining sector
- Sustained economic growth must be underscored by efforts to diversify the economy and build further trade and investment relationships
- More information about the Scenarios is available here
Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 23 January 2014 – Mongolia, the hub of one of the world's fastest-growing economic regions, is the focus of a World Economic Forum report that is published today.
The report, Scenarios for Mongolia, has been produced to map out potential long-term economic outcomes of the country's recent period of double-digit growth, which to date has been generated largely on the back of rapid development of its resources sector. The three scenarios identified for the country's future are:
Regional Renaissance: Where Mongolia finds itself at the heart of a dynamic economic area comprising Northern China and Eastern Russia, combined with an integrated, open North Korea. In this scenario, Vladivostok is a thriving seaport benefitting from an opening of Arctic sea lanes, and the free movement of goods and people across borders is commonplace.
China Greening: Envisages a future where China has become a world leader in green technology and the circular economy. This precipitates diversification in Mongolia towards solar and wind-power generation and high-end organic food products.
Resource Tensions: An opposite outcome to Regional Renaissance, where nationalist sentiments lead to territorial disputes, and natural resources are used for political leverage. This makes it difficult for Mongolia to sell its main minerals and to diversify
The aim of these scenarios is to help the Mongolian Government take the strategic decisions that will guide the country towards long-term sustainable and diversified growth. The urgency to address this has been underscored by discoveries that bring the country's natural resource endowment to an estimated US$ 3 trillion. In a country the size of Europe and a population of just 3 million, this has brought significant development challenges.
"Mongolia's long-term economic success depends significantly on how well it is able to develop its mining industry and manage its revenues, but also on its ability to diversify and build trade and investment relationships with its neighbours," said Kristel van der Elst, Senior Director, Head of Strategic Foresight, World Economic Forum.
Common policy responses identified in the scenarios include:
- Improving the investment and business climate for both minerals and other sectors
- Designing a sovereign wealth fund able to operate as an investment or development fund
- Forging strong political and economic relationships with its neighbours
Scenarios for Mongolia, which was produced in collaboration with the Mongolian Government, will form the basis of dialogue in a number of sessions during the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting, in which a high-level government delegation from the country, including the president, Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, will be participating.
The 44th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is taking place from 22 to 25 January 2014 under the theme The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for Society, Politics and Business. More than 2,500 participants from 100 countries are taking part in the Meeting. Participants include more than 30 heads of state or government and 1,500 business leaders from the Forum's 1,000 member companies, as well as Social Entrepreneurs, Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders and representatives from civil society, media, academia and the arts.
The Co-Chairs of the Annual Meeting 2014 are: Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dangote Group, Nigeria; Kris Gopalakrishnan, President, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII); Vice-Chairman, Infosys, India; Jiang Jianqing, Chairman of the Board, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, People's Republic of China; Joseph Jimenez, Chief Executive Officer, Novartis, Switzerland; Christophe de Margerie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Total, France; Marissa Mayer, Chief Executive Officer, Yahoo, USA; and Judith Rodin, President, Rockefeller Foundation, USA.
