Danske Bank Faces Broader Probe of Bond Price Fixing in 2009
Denmark's public prosecutor may expand its probe of Danske Bank A/S after it accused the lender and six of its employees of bond price manipulation.
"It's clear that we also need to look into whether this requires a broader investigation or whether it's an isolated case," Public Prosecutor Hans Fogtdal said yesterday in a phone interview.
The Danish Public Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime "brought accusations against Danske Bank of price manipulation under particularly aggravated circumstances," Denmark's biggest lender said on Friday. The trades, conducted in February and March 2009, raised mortgage bond prices in a way that "harmed customers at Realkredit Danmark A/S," Danske's home-loan unit, the crime squad said.
The six employees, whom Danske has suspended, face a maximum of four years in jail, according to Fogtdal. Business Minister Henrik Sass Larsen said he would consider tightening regulatory requirements if the Danske case reveals a need to do so, Borsen reported.
The bank, whose assets are equivalent to about 180 percent of Denmark's gross domestic product, said an internal probe found its rules had been violated in transactions with Realkredit Danmark. The bank notified the FSA last week, prompting the police investigation. The charges of price manipulation come days before a five-year statute of limitations was due to take effect.
Danske Bank shares lost 0.6 percent to trade at 137.10 kroner as of 9:56 a.m. in Copenhagen. The 43-member Bloomberg index of European financial companies rose 0.7 percent.
Internal Audit
Danske began its investigation of the trades in the fall of last year after an internal audit flagged something suspicious, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified by name because he wasn't authorized to discuss the case.
There is a connection between this investigation and a separate probe into how the Copenhagen interbank offered rate was set during the financial crisis, Berlingske reported today without saying how it obtained the information.
Denmark's central bank handed over publication of Cibor to Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. in April 2011, saying it could no longer "assess the quality" of the rate. The central bank then recommended supplementing Cibor with the so-called Cita rate, which is based on actual interest-rate swap agreements.
Cibor 'Weaknesses'
While a subsequent government investigation into Cibor found no evidence of manipulation, it concluded there were "weaknesses" and ordered banks to offer products based on Cita, alongside Cibor loans.
Chief Executive Officer Thomas Borgen said Danske is cooperating fully with the authorities. He took over management of the bank in September after Chairman Ole Andersen said his predecessor, Eivind Kolding, lacked the skillset needed to run a financial conglomerate. Kolding was fired after 19 months, having succeeded Peter Straarup, who oversaw Danske's expansion into Ireland in 2005.
The price manipulation charges relate to a "less liquid mortgage bond" based on the Copenhagen interbank offered rate, the crime squad said.
"It's a very regrettable case," Borgen said on Friday in an e-mailed response to questions. "We have clear rules and procedures, which all employees are instructed in and are very familiar with. There's no excuse for not following the rules."
Danske's trading income jumped fivefold in the first quarter of 2009 from a year earlier to 7.5 billion kroner ($1.37 billion). The bank, which took a 26 billion-krone hybrid loan from the government that year, issued bonds backed by state guarantees as the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. threatened to freeze markets. The loans also helped the bank offset writedowns on its failed Irish expansion.
"An important starting point for the investigation will be that we talk with Danske Bank's compliance department," Fogtdal said. "We'll see how much they can tell us."

Our Ohio TV series takes new shape
After five successful seasons, nearly 400 segments and nearly 100,000 miles traveled across more than 70 counties, the Our Ohio TV series will be transitioning this season.
OFBF has worked with Think TV, the Dayton public television station covering Southwest Ohio, to produce the 52-week series for the past five years. In that time, Our Ohio has been nominated for three regional Emmy awards and received an Emmy award this year for the segment Life of a Farmer.
Season 6 will have a different look by featuring best of encore episodes with occasional new, longer format documentary-style special programs. In addition, OFBF will be using new and more flexible ways to deliver similar high-quality content about Ohio farmers to targeted segments of the public, including television commercials and web videos.
The Our Ohio TV series is supported by OFBF, Nationwide Insurance and Medical Mutual of Ohio. Our Ohio airs on 12 Ohio public television stations and WBNX in Cleveland. More than 40,000 viewers watch Our Ohio each week.

For Rockbridge County, 13 was enough. For Liberty, 1-1 isn't good enough.
The Wildcats broke their 13-game losing streak Friday night with a home victory against the Minutemen, 34-12.
Liberty heads to Staunton River Friday to try and improve on its 1-1 mark this season.
Liberty Coach Chris Watts will need to see better play "across the board," from the M-Men.

In the classic baseball movie The Natural the protagonist twice hits highly dramatic home runs.
Leave it to Zach Duff to outshine Roy Hobbs. Duff has smashed three hugely significant taters. While Hobbs's homers took place over the course of the season, Duff's took place over the course of two weeks. Best of all, while Hobbs is a fictitious character, Duff is the real deal.
Bedford County emerged from the first day of regional playoffs looking like a starting pitcher who's seen better days.
On Monday, Bedford teams amassed a record of two wins, six losses and two no-decisions.
This is the "one-and-done" time of year. Thus, Jefferson Forest's boys' and girls' soccer, Liberty's softball and girls' soccer and Staunton River's softball and boys' soccer all saw their seasons come to an abrupt ending.
Have the Boy Scouts of America become sissified?
That's the contention of Richard Cromwell, a senior contributor to The Federalist.
Cromwell points out that the BSA now prohibits such time-honored activities as water gun fights, water balloon battles, crossbows, boomerangs, bottlerockets, potato guns and blow guns.
What is life for a youngster without bottlerockets and boomerangs?
For a place not used to hosting playoff games, Staunton River sure was a busy place on Monday.
The Eagles' Nest was host to a trio of Conference 31 openers while the baseball team took the night off, a benefit of being the top seed in the conference.
Best of all, the three Eagle squads in action nabbed victories. As a result, all four River entrants advanced to the second round of the playoffs. When was the last time that ever happened? It's been a decade, at least.

Heineken Cape to Rio update.
Xtra-Link - Heineken Cape to Rio 2011
While City of Cape Town appears to have a stranglehold on the Heineken Cape to Rio yacht race, the fight for second and third places on handicap has seen several boats drift in and out of contention.
The most noticeable absentee from the top three is Dale Kushner's Xtra-Link, which only last Friday was lying second and has now dropped to sixth.
Kushner was forced to do a number of gybes following some 'severe shifts' in the wind yesterday, but later reported the yacht to be sailing in 14-17 knot winds and completing a 24-hour run of 127 nautical miles.
Ciao Bella, skippered by Mike Robinson, was still holding on to second place following a daily run of 172nm, ahead of Jon and Andrew Sanders' Perie Banou II (139nm).
The big move came from the 42ft Izivunguvungu, skippered by Kader Williams and his development crew from the navy base in Simon's Town. The boat had a run of 219nm and has moved into fourth place on handicap ahead of Cape Storm, skippered by Sean Cummings.
Despite a couple of blown spinnakers, Prodigy still leads the race for line honours and had a run of 223nm, leaving her just 1,200nm from Rio. Gerry Hegie's City of Cape Town is 1,302nm from the finish and Grand Filou II, skippered by Jurgen Eming and Richard Fearon, 1,447nm.
Skipper Chris Frost believes Prodigy, which already has had a couple of shredded spinnakers, is still on course to reach Rio in about 14 days and likened the Cape to Rio to a famous South African rugby competition.
'Naas Botha is quoted as saying that 'the Currie Cup is not won in May' and I believe that sentiment is as relevant to the Cape to Rio. It isn't won after eight days. The final 1,000 miles will be crucial, and I am of the opinion that positions will change yet,' said Frost.
'We feel we are still on track. One must also acknowledge the exceptional performances put in so far by the likes of City of Cape Town and Ciao Bella, which perhaps makes it look like we are not doing as well as we should. Our original goal was to do the race in 14 days and we can still do this.'
But Frost conceded that they had got their maths wrong in the first week.
'The first 1,000 miles of the race are about strategy out of Cape Town. History now shows that the northern route paid. We had intended going this route, but for reasons that will remain on the boat, we ended up hedging our bets and took a route between the southern and northern boats. Now, as a canter, this meant we beam reached for three days straight, our best angle of sail, and it showed in the results.
'However, on day four, because we were leading and the only boat to reach the Atlantic high, we parked up for eight hours ... doing no more than three knots. Being the scratch boat is a two-edged sword. If you beat a changing weather system it becomes a case of the rich getting richer ... if you don't (as in our case) ... it becomes a case of the rich must pay more tax.
'We are often averaging 17 knots plus for significant periods of time. We just need a long stretch of runway at a beam reach and we will surge right back.'
At the back of the fleet, a mini-drama was being played out on Myrtle of Bonnievale, which had run into snags with its water supply. The boat had been grappling with the problem since last Friday and skipper Pierre Albertyn decided not to run the watermaker for longer than 45 minutes at a time.
But after some instructions from water treatment company Aquamarine, the watermaker started up perfectly.
'We made 45 minutes of water and achieved 100 litres of pure sweet water. All on board are so relieved,' reported Albertyn.

Germany coach Joachim Low has called up Celtic defender Andreas Hinkel to his squad to face Liechtenstein and Finland in upcoming FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers.
Loew is without veteran midfielders Torsten Frings and Michael Ballack and so Hinkel gets a chance three years on from his last call-up. He won the last of his 17 caps in September 2005 in a defeat to Slovakia.
"Andreas is a regular at Celtic and has been playing well there recently," said Loew of the 26-year-old Hinkel, who previously played for Stuttgart and Spanish side Sevilla. He made his Germany debut in 2003 and was regarded as a bright hope for the future.
Frings, who has 77 caps, on Sunday had to pull out of the squad after fracturing his nose in a basket-ball game which his club Werder Bremen had organised as a promotional event. Chelsea's Ballack, Germany's skipper, is laid low with a foot injury.
Three-times world champions Germany also face Russia and Azerbaijan in their qualifying group.

Don't get me wrong. I've gotten some wonderful mtn prints from PanF 120, but mainly on those days
when the light was a bit softened by mist or rain or falling snow. It's nice on our foggy beach days too.
But it's a poor choice if you want to dig way down into harsh high altitude shadows in bright sun and
preserve the sparkle of highlights at the same time. You won't get much differentiation below Zone III,
if you are into Zone System ideology. I use Efke 25 for extreme range work in small cameras - but with it going away, am going to compromise with Fuji ACROS instead. Pan F has a special look, so can be very rewarding - the highlights and upper mids can really open up with pryo - but it takes awhile to optimize this per exp & dev technique. Be aware it has poor latent image characteristics, so develop it fairly soon after exposure, not several months later!

What Star Trek time period would this likely appear in?
Agree with Albertese. 25th or 26th century although maybe as early as 24th century in the TNG-continuity.
"Quantum"-named weaponry only start to appear in late 23rd century. ZPEs unheard of AFAIK in TNG-continuity.
A fighter as you described would have a maximum range of 50 LY on one 24 hour ZPE in the TNG continuity. (Warp 9.9 = 21,000c from "The 37's".

T.I. has offered a take on the controversy surrounding one-time rap foe Shawty Lo and his recently shelved "All My Babies' Mamas" television special.
In Tip's opinion, the decision should come down to Shawty and how his family feels about their lives being placed on full display.
"I don't think I'm justified to really speak on it, man. That's not my family. That's his life and his story to tell. If he's willing to tell it and the people are willing to watch it that's between them. I think that should be left up to him and the people who it effects the most, his family. If they're cool with it…that's what should be on everybody's mind." (The Urban Daily)
Earlier this month, Lo pleaded with fans to rally behind him and get "All My Babies' Mamas" back on the Oyxgen network.
"Yeah I really understand. They have the right to think that, but at least give the show a chance, to see what's goin' on," Shawty said in an interview in response to the show's backlash. "They makin' their assumptions off a 13-minute trailer and this like the biggest news around the world right now and it's unbelievable. … The show wasn't about, we finna be fightin'. My show is not about no negative; it's a positive. But if they wanna see the show, sign a petition." (Hot 107.9)
I see I said. And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you T.I. keep it G every time. Respect.

Yes and no. As far as most decisions, yes it should be between you and their father. Unfortunately tho, when it comes to household rules, etc, thats more between the father and stepmother (at their house), and you at yours.
Definitly need to have a talk with step mom and your ex on that one. My step mother did the same thing and I didn't speak to my birth mother for a good 16 years aside from my once a year visit to her house and that's the last situation you want to be in i'm sure. Maybe talk to your boys too and see whats up with them about all of it and why they don't wanna let you in on things. Sorry you're going through this :(

Beautiful baby girl (Mackenzie) - March 7, 2013!!!
You already know you're not wrong. (Well, you *should* know, anyway.) Major decisions, like seeing a counselor, and major *things*, such as an ER visit, you should absolutely know about... I'd tell that stepmom to back the hell off, and to put some clothes on. (But, I'm not sure to what extent she takes it... Showing cleavage? Nothing you can do. Walking around naked? Yeah, put a stop to it.)
Unfortunately, though, him living with them, just makes it all the more difficult for you to establish yourself as top MOM, here... Did you go through courts, and they agreed for him to live with his dad? Or, did you just agree to it, on your own?

VICTORS SERENADE goes from strength to strength over fences and he comes into this seeking a hat-trick following two impressive successes at Ffos Las. This will not be easy under a double penalty but he is lightly raced and could still take plenty of beating. Minella Stars has been knocking on the door and should be thereabouts once more, along with Roalco Des Farges who contested the Midlands National last month. Tullow Boy looked very useful indeed when winning at Ffos Las in December and he should not be ignored.

Bahamas 101: Recipe For Paradise
Flying to the Bahamas is the stuff of dreams and is within the reach of nearly any pilot and aircraft
|Introducing eAPIS
|eAPIS is the Electronic Advance Passenger Information System implemented by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to strengthen aviation security and has been mandatory for private aircraft since May 2009.
The system is a web-based interface that allows electronic registration of passenger and pilot information in the form of departure and arrival manifests for international flights in private aircraft. They're used in risk assessment. Pilots must file the eAPIS no less than 60 minutes before departure.
First-time pilots must first enroll in the eAPIS system to receive a "sender ID" and "aviation key." The required enrollment information relates to birth dates, places, current address, citizenship, etc. The system also will require pilot's license information, as well as information relating to the Customs decal that pilots must affix to their airplane before leaving the U.S. (it costs $27.50 and is available at https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov/). eAPIS registration is free, and everything is done online.
For each international flight, the pilot fills in a departure and arrival manifest for each occupant of the aircraft. For each occupant, they'll need basic ID information as well as passport number, date and place of birth and current citizenship. An email acknowledgement will be sent to the pilot once the Notice of Departure (or arrival) is processed.
The entire process is quite simple and painless. Once the initial registration is complete, filing for each subsequent flight is quick. Note that the eAPIS can be filed days or weeks in advance of your trip. Both the departure and return manifests can be filed at the same time, as well.
There's a useful tutorial that covers the entire process at http://apps.cbp.gov/eAPIS-pa. It's worth the five minutes to do the tutorial. Once enrolled, eAPIS filings can be done at any computer with Internet access at https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov.

SAG Awards: 'Silver Linings,' 'Modern Family' Top Nominations
The Hollywood Reporter -- Silver Linings Playbook took a big step toward awards gold on Wednesday morning.
The David O. Russell-directed dramedy leads the pack with four Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, including best actor and actress for its leads Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Cooper plays a man just out of a mental rehab center; Lawrence is a recent widow dealing with some depression. With Robert De Niro scoring a supporting actor nom for what many consider to be his best role in years, the film about an idiosyncratic group of family and friends in Philadelphia also earned a best ensemble cast nomination.
Also earning four nominations was DreamWorks' Lincoln, which saw Daniel Day-Lewis earn a best actor nom, Sally Field take a best supporting actress bid, Tommy Lee Jones score a supporting nomination and the cast put up for the ensemble prize.
PHOTOS: SAG Awards 2013 Nominees
Including a stunt ensemble, Les Miserables was the third film to get four nominations, as Hugh Jackman was recognized for best actor, Anne Hathaway for supporting actress and the cast for ensemble.
Perhaps coming as a surprise was the strength of Fox Searchlight's retirement dramedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which earned an ensemble nom and saw Maggie Smith take a supporting actress nomination. Along with her Downton Abbey actress and ensemble nomination, she leads with four bids.On the TV side, ABC's perennial Emmy winner Modern Family continued its awards run. Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet both earned comedy actor nominations, Sofia Vergara got an actress bid, and the show was put up for best ensemble. Joining it in the comedy race is NBC's 30 Rock, which has a chance to go out with top honors. Leads Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin scored acting nominations, while the show also netted an ensemble nom.
CBS' nerd comedy The Big Bang Theory scored best actor (Jim Parsons) and ensemble noms.

MITCHELL FALLS WESTERN AUSTRALIA by BRITCHIE
Mt Elizabeth station is one of the most interesting places in the country, magic job in capturing the awesome site of the Mitchell Falls. All good there except I am not sure which is worse, the sand flies or the King Browns (Mulga Snakes) who get inquisitive with camp fires, if bitten by a brown, not much point in hurrying anywhere, you are pretty much rooted from that point on. Knew a man who survived 2 bites in the Territory....3 months in hospital, beautiful places but not for novices.

Been on the top edge of these ( spent 6 months on Koolan Island) in a twin engine boat when one donk **** itself, the second just held its own from stopping the boat going down them backwards. Great shot conveying the energy of the the water trying to fit through gap that is way to narrow.
KARIJINI NATIONAL RARK WESTERN AUSTRALIA by BRITCHIE
A magic capture of my favourite part of the world.
Really like the the balanced composition, silhouetted jetty and contrast,
Magic shot, love it.
Seriously good, beautifully clean and sharp.
Class image....would like to look through more....1:30am ....eyes getting blurry, will resume later.
You would have to be happy with this....beautiful image.
Stunning....definitely a keeper
Jesus, I wonder if anyone with a camera in WA has not had a crack at this....check out Peter Eastway's version on his web site from some time ago while trialling a digital backed MF camera...a Pentax 645 D from memory. I see you have a D60 as well, or before, the D700.....underwear John....it appears the cameras get changed pretty often. I had a D7000 before the D3X....wish I still had it, for the price it gave kick arse results but the cropped sensor didn't turn me on. The D3X is a blinder but it certainly doesn't tolerate not knowing everything about it...most cameras you can wing it....instruction manual not required....the D3X near on requires you to memorise the manual to get the best from it, apart from the c.25MP at 5/sec (full frame), one battery charge is good for 4,400 shots at max everything.....but now days post skill is more important than the camera....being **** house on PS I go to a heap of effort getting the best off the camera. Perhaps we sell a couple of cars and get the 80MP 180 IQ Phase One....I think c.$55k before you screw on any glass.

what is the exact RAM for this device?
i saw another website telling its going to be 512mb RAM..
but in here they told us its 1GB RAM..
if 1GB RAM then its going to be the best Tegra2 phone versus Optimus 2x which only has 512mb RAM.
then why 720p only? coz another tegra2 device does support 1080i... weird..
they just dont want Tegra2 is superior than their flagship SGS II..

I love a good chat session or deep and meaningful talk with my girls and am thankful that we get to have these on a regular basis. Often these moments come when I least expect it and I have found that taking the time to respond to questions that my cherubs might have has been very rewarding for my relationship with my daughters.
As my daughters are getting older the questions and conversations we are having have become more meaningful and way more fun. We now talk and laugh and giggle over a variety of topics and I love it when they share the feelings of their heart. These to me are sacred moments that I treasure and make my heart burst!
Recently, we received a Girl Talk Pack from Cath over at Leaf. Paper for Life which contained a Girl Talk Journal and Story Starter Cards. The journal is bright and fun. It contains pages dedicated to recording favourite things, memories, drawings and dreams. Our favourite item though would have to be the Story Starter Cards. We have had a wonderful time connecting with each other as we have used the Story Starter cards to have conversations together as a family. These cards are great to break the ice with strangers, to get to know your acquaintances better or to deepen your relationships with friends and family. You can even use them to help encourage your cherubs to write in a journal.
In the story starter card pack there are 2 different types of cards. One has a story starter line and the other is a theme. My cherubs have been having a great time playing with these cards and it has been wonderful to listen to the true stories and made up stories shared as they play with the pack. I was very interested to hear the answer to the above card combination that came up when my oldest daughter turned these cards over. I was all ears as she giggled her way through the story and conversation we had.
Cath has a range of Journals, Story Starter Cards and Stationery all targeted towards helping cherubs express themselves and to record their hopes and dreams. She has generously donated a Girl Talk Story Starter Pack to giveaway here at Seven Cherubs to a lucky reader.
The pack includes:
* Girl Talk OR Kids Stuff Story Starter Journal $21.95
* Girl Talk or Kids Stuff Story Starter Conversation Cards $19.95
* Add a Greeting Cards pack $22.95
* Notebook Duos $14.95
Valued at $79.80

I've tended to be skeptical toward those people who, upon being accused of plagiarism, say they simply mixed up their notes—that, when they came across some jottings, they assumed they were reading their own original thoughts when, in fact, it was their transcription of someone else's. Wouldn't you know?
A new study identifies one way to reduce unconscious plagiarism: Tell people, in advance, that their claims of originality will be checked. At the same time, the study confirms the stubbornness of unconscious plagiarism, which, it turns out, has been the subject of numerous psychological studies:

In the table frm_settings there is a column named
"order". Order is a reserved word in mysql. I found
this error when I attempted to restore a backup.
I have no records in this table so I just commented out
the table's create statement.
Why wouldn't this error be caught during the installation?

fields have to be escaped like this :
INSERT INTO frm_settings (
order,...) VALUES ('ASC',...);
Make sure that the script you made from the non empty
database does escape the fields name.
I know having a column named
order is not a good choice,
maybe some kind of bad youngster choice :)

At home, Nucky gets a phone call from Eddie, who says there's a man from the State's Attorney's office there to see him. Eddie can't get the guy to talk to Nucky on the phone, so Nucky's going to have to head down to the office. He tells Margaret she and Teddy will have to head out to the picture show without him. He will join them later.
Richard Harrow sits in his bedroom, cutting out pictures of happy families and pasting them in his scrapbook of sorts. It's sad.
Nucky arrives at the office and finds a few cops miraculously NOT on his payroll, as well as one State's Attorney Solomon Bishop. And Bishop promptly places Nucky under arrest. ...For election fraud, in case you were wondering which one of Nucky's bajillion crimes have caught up to him.
At the pictures, Margaret and Teddy sit with an empty seat between them, watching as Charlie Chaplin horses around with a kid on the big screen. Margaret keeps looking expectantly at the doors, and so does Teddy. Nucky ain't coming.
Jimmy, at home, opens the gift he got from Nucky. There's an envelope of money, which Jimmy tosses aside contemptuously. But there's also a statue of sorts, of a man and a boy hunting together. Aw, look! They're so happy bonding over that dead buck! Jimmy is clearly moved, but then he places it on the top shelf of his closet. Out of sight.
Joe R feels like Richard Harrow would be cheered to know that he is not even in the Top 5 creepiest characters on this show. He can be reached for lavish praise and nothing but at firstname.lastname@example.com, and you can listen to him yammer on to his heart's content on the Extra Hot Great podcast.

Effects of the Price of Charitable Giving: Evidence from an Online Crowdfunding Platform
A long literature has examined the effects of the price of giving - that is, the amount an in-dividual must give for one dollar to accrue to the charitable activity itself - on donative behavior. We use data from DonorsChoose.org, an online platform linking teachers with prospective donors, that are uniquely suited to addressing this question due to exogenous variation in overhead costs. An increased price of giving results in a lower likelihood of a project being funded. We also calculate the price elasticity of giving, finding estimates between -0.8 and -2; these are likely to be upper bounds on the tax price elasticity of charitable donations. Finally, we examine the effect of competition on giving and find that increased competition reduces the likelihood of a project being funded. These results provide insight into the workings of the market for charitable gifts.

Fender values at an affordable price bracket and competition from the Far East were the defining factors behind the launch of the Squier range of electric guitars in 1982. Fender faced fierce competition from emerging Japanese manufacturers and began production of its Squier range at its own newly established plant in Japan.

Let's say I have one map associated with one post - is it possible to have 2,3, more markers on that single map (like more locations associated with on single post)?
Could you please give me a recommendation as of how to achieve that !?
I very much need the functionality - if this plugin cannot do it, can you recommend some other plugin to combine with?

You won't find Lady Gaga or Brad Pitt on the list of commencement speakers for area colleges and universities this spring, although the celeb du jour might be a popular choice among students.
You won't find Lady Gaga or Brad Pitt on the list of commencement speakers for area colleges and universities this spring, although the celeb du jour might be a popular choice among students.
What you will find are speakers with some connection to the college, with a message the graduates should hear, and, not of the least importance, those who are available.
"We look for people who tie into the college in some way," said Axel Steuer, president of Illinois College in Jacksonville, which has Patricia Woertz, chairman, CEO and president of agriculture giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. as its speaker.
"We have a new Leadership Center on campus, and she's obviously shown great leadership qualities, plus there are ADM's efforts to reach out to communities throughout the world," Steuer said. "Students sometimes would prefer a popular culture figure, but I'm not sure they have that much to add."
Not that Illinois College has shied away from big-name speakers in the past. Alexander Graham Bell and Mark Twain were speakers in the college's earlier years, and more recently film reviewer Gene Siskel and Coretta Scott King have graced the podium.
Chancellor's choice at U of I
At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, it's up to the chancellor to select a speaker.
"But he's received suggestions and feedback from faculty, staff, trustees — basically everyone," said Babette Hiles, special events director at UIUC. "It's quite often a prominent alumni, because students can identify with that. You hope that it's someone with good delivery and who has something to give to the students."
White House chief of staff William Daley, a Chicagoan, is this year's speaker.
Another White House staffer, cabinet secretary Chris Lu, who holds the title of assistant to the president, spoke at MacMurray College's commencement Saturday. Lu is the primary liaison between President Obama and his cabinet.
Lu's wife, Katie Thomson, who is counselor to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, is a trustee of MacMurray and a native of Jacksonville.
The commencement speaker at the University of Illinois Springfield this year is Martin Castro, chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
"Obviously we want a speaker who would have a good message to our students," said University of Illinois Springfield spokesman Derek Schnapp.
"Cost is a factor when we look for a commencement speaker," Schnapp added. "We have paid an honorarium and travel costs, but not in the past few years. We are paying for his hotel this year."
Former Springfield Mayor Karen Hasara was the 2011 commencement speaker at Lincoln College, where she received an honorary doctor of laws degree. That's a typical reward for the Lincoln College speaker, said college President Jon Astroth.
Page 2 of 3 - Blackburn connections
Blackburn College in Carlinville, which had commencement exercises Saturday, found a speaker with several of the sought-after attributes — an alum still connected to the college who has been successful in his field.
Dr. C. Barber Mueller, a Carlinville native and Blackburn graduate who went on to become a physician, was selected to speak by a committee of faculty and administrators. He has been a trustee and continues to be a member of the school's executive board and has donated to a variety of campus initiatives.
Timothy Goodly, senior vice president of human resources for the Turner Broadcasting System, earned his doctorate from Benedictine University at Lisle and spoke in Springfield in 2008, when the school debuted its PhD in organization development on the Springfield campus.
Goodly was invited back to speak when the first doctoral students graduate, which is this year.
"We look for a speaker who will inspire our graduates with positive thoughts and parting words to ponder as they leave us," said Benedictine University at Springfield spokesman Scott McCullar. "The speaker doesn't necessarily always have to have a direct connection to Benedictine University."
The graduating class of Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and school administrators collaborate on ideas for a commencement speaker each year, said spokeswoman Nancy Zimmers.
"They look for someone who can give a powerful message to the graduating seniors about our core values — integrity, respect and compassion," she said.
Dr. G. Scott Morris, who founded a health center in Memphis in 1987 to provide affordable healthcare for working uninsured people, is this year's speaker.
Student at LLCC
Lincoln Land Community College always has a student as its commencement speaker, and there is a competition to determine who will give the address.
"There are usually a handful who try out before a committee," said LLCC spokeswoman Lynn Whalen.
A faculty committee chose Alexis Wernsing of Litchfield.
"She's really an inspiration to all of us around here for her drive and determination," said Whalen of Wernsing, who has cerebral palsy. "She just won't quit."
Illinois College's Steuer said that, for business leaders and some political types, the college has to begin planning two years in advance.
"We try very hard to find people who don't have a pre-packaged speech," Steuer said. "Patricia Woertz is a classic example. She contacted us three months ago and asked for specifics about the college.
"She'll receive an honorary degree and she'll fly herself into the Jacksonville airport, which doesn't happen every day," he said.
Chris Dettro can be reached at 788-1510.

Ghost Beach ft. Noosa – Close Enough
New York-based duo Ghost Beach teamed up with Noosa to create their latest nostalgic, 80's inspired jam 'Close Enough.' The track is part of their next full-length album – which currently remains both untitled and without a determined release date. The tune is well mixed, upholds a series of well-balanced male-female harmonies, and represents trop-pop in its finest and dreamiest form. Now that's what I call fresh and synthy folks.

The Nikonos V is a darned nice toy. The 35mm lens is great. It is a viewfinder camera--no TTL focus, no rangefinder. Put 400 speed film in it, stop down, guess distances (there is a depth of field indication that is pretty useful) and it is pretty much a point-and-shoot.
There are only 2 lenses that work above water for the Nikonos--the 35mm and the 80 (or is it 85mm?). I have only seen the 80mm on store shelves.
Alternatives--the Hanimex Amphibian is one. Plastic. Point-and-shoot. Good down to 100' or more. I have pictures somewhere of my brother with a Hanimex diving the wrecks of Chuuk (Truk Lagoon). These go for ~$30 on eBay.
Now--what to look out for. Underwater cameras flood. Keep the O-rings clean and lightly greased. Use the correct grease (VOE--voice of experience).
Others--Sea and Sea, Minolta...good toys.
Below is a NikV shot as a P&S. I believe Kodak Portra, 35mm lens, f22, 1/200s, lab processed (if I recall). Your humble servant and his oldest boy, taken last summer.
