Leadership can be all about what goes on in team meetings when the leader isn't there.
Cummins Inc. Vice President Tracy Embree remembers a moment working with a team of employees when one commented, "We had a great meeting after you left."
"Half of me — well, I was being selfish, I thought, 'I missed something great,'" Embree said as she reconsidered the moment. "But then I thought, I'm so proud of those guys. They could do it without me, and that means they're going to continue doing great things."
Embree, who is president of Cummins Turbo Technologies, has been leading many teams in various roles for Cummins since 2000.
She is one of four women executives being honored Thursday by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce Women in Leadership event at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center.
Jacque Douglas, Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. director of special projects; Lynne Hyatt, owner of Lockett's Ladies Shop; and Cindy Waddle, regional manager of Dora Hotels, also are being honored.
The event is honoring the women for their integrity, innovative ideas, entrepreneurship, collaboration and efforts to achieve professional excellence, said Cindy Frey, chamber director.
"We also felt we had all this wisdom and talent in our midst," Frey said. "We wanted to honor four women who are noteworthy. We get to hear from them what they are passionate about — about their career journeys."
Each honoree will be featured in a short video and then be introduced by a surprise guest, Frey said. The women being honored will then speak about their career paths and leadership challenges.
The idea behind the event to highlight "so many bright, accomplished women transitioning into new roles in the community," Frey said. "We're fortunate to have so many women leading organizations to our community's success."
Upward mobility
Embree, a Midwest native, went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked for Colgate-Palmolive before receiving her Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard.
From there, with a chemical engineering degree, she was looking for a different type of corporate role when recruited by Cummins.
She started in information technology.
"Not a lot of people know that," she said, smiling.
From there, she moved into different jobs and teams throughout the company, learning more as she went from one role to the next, until she arrived at her current position, which she described as general management.
One of the best things about working at Cummins is its collaborative culture, Embree said. She quickly learned the company is all about relationships, and not just those on a team or an area within the company. It's about global relationships, too.
"We need to have a broad understanding of what is happening in different parts of the world," she said, something she kept in mind as she moved from jobs in sales and marketing, corporate strategy and as an account executive.
She learned the value of trying different things and having the experience of leading in many different environments, something that has served her well and led to her current role directing the Cummins turbo division with an estimated 3,000 employees.
"It's all about people and teams," she said, "And making sure they can do their very best — making sure they can do things they never thought were possible."
When that happens, Embree says, she knows she's doing her job as a leader.
Becoming the mentor
Embree credits every single boss she has had at Cummins for having an impact in some way in how she leads today.
"I've worked with bosses who were watching their teams getting smaller, and I've watched how someone deals with that," she said. "I've had other bosses who at times had to execute something that was important for Cummins and difficult for the customer and had to move through the process in a respectful, fair and tough way," she said.
As she has been mentored, she in turn is now the mentor — averaging 130 hours last year, about 10 hours a month — working with Cummins colleagues who seek her advice.
On occasion, she will meet with high school age students of Cummins co-workers who are seeking advice about a senior project or a career path.
And she finds time to help out at Foundation for Youth, where the mission is all about helping young people grow up to be amazing adults, something that lights up her face as she talks about it.
Defining excellence
During Thursday's event, Embree has been asked to talk about excellence in terms of leadership, Frey said.
Embree said she is still in the process of putting those thoughts together.
"I really think it's about watching a team perform and do things that didn't seem possible and helping them do something at their very best," she said. "That's what excellence means to me."
Her leadership philosophy is all about being brave, being willing to try different approaches, she said.
"Being brave is sometimes about the notion of owning your choices," she said.
Being brave about a choice may or may not be about your career, she said. It could be about being willing to be a stay-at-home parent who devotes time to being the best for her kids at a particular time in their life.
The most challenging thing about being a leader for Embree is that her work is all about making choices, and sometimes having to make those choices without perfect information.
"There is always the chance that people won't agree with your decision," she said.
But she reiterated leaders have to be brave and courageous and own their choices.
One of those choices for Embree was to move back to Columbus in 2008 — a choice that was made for herself and her family.
"I knew this was a great place to raise a family," she said. "When we moved back, we could tell the city has moved forward — it's a more inclusive culture — a more welcoming atmosphere. It was a conscious decision. And it was the right decision," she said.

I bought some Nemesia Maritana (scented lady and sweet lady) at the local nursery when looking to get some container plants. The smell really attracted me to them but when I got home I couldn't find a lot online about the hardiness or whether they are annuals or perennials, the labels don't help much either. Can anyone enlighten me?
Penhow Nurseries are the breeders of Nemesia Maritana and they describe it as perennial and suitable for growing "...in well drained soil throughout the winter months".
Hope that helps
They are perennial. They're not properly hardy. Chrissie's balcony through a mild winter like our last one is probably about their limit
I suppose Penhow have the advantage of a 'maritime climate' with no real frosts to speak of - from what they say it's the wet and cold rather than just the cold that does them in.
Thanks for all the advice. They are lovely little plants and smell good so being a perennial is great news. I live in the south near the coast so the frosts aren't as harsh as other places but I think I'll move them into the greenhouse over winter just to be on the safe side. The soil is very sandy and free draining here so I guess they'll like that. As a bit of an experiment, I might get a couple more and plant them in the ground to see what happens to them when the frosts arrive. I suppose I could try and take a few cuttings as well. It's actually quite exciting getting to know a new plant.

Humanitarian Crisis Response
Capacity for disaster risk management will constitute a crucial portfolio for national governments, international and regional organizations, and humanitarian workers in the future.
Capacity for disaster risk management, including humanitarian response, will constitute a crucial portfolio for national governments, international and regional organizations, and development and humanitarian workers in the future. This is particularly true in Asia, an area that has absorbed a disproportionate share of the world's recent natural disasters, and where settlement patterns and rapid urbanization expose millions to possible harm. The Post Conflict Reconstruction program at CSIS will engage with regional experts to build a network of regional institutions to promote more cohesive and effective long term responses to humanitarian crises in Asia.

People who have an assignment of wages from the credit union can also get their wages garnished without a court order.

Funcom's The Secret World Unhides in 2009
Ragnar Tornquist of Funcom has revealed in his blog that his pet MMO, The Secret World (TSW), will be getting a lot more information released about it this year. This is good, because a title that started work in 2002 probably should start releasing information seven years later or really shut up shop.
Personally I'm excited about TSW - I want a dark modern MMO title to try out. It's a genre that really hasn't been touched on yet but one with a lot of scope. Of course, the fact that 1) Funcom are developing it and we all know what happened with their last title, and 2) the blog entry itself boils down into "we'll release more information, but given you have very little information now, any info release will be 'more' by default, plus we are changing systems you never knew existed', so perhaps I'm getting excited over very little.
However, Tornquist promises the right things to get me interested - interesting professions, conspiracies to uncover, a modern setting with a dangerous twist. I may still end up with a lvl 35 Crytpozoologist who is on a quest to Kill 10 Bigfoots, but I choose not to be so cynical at this point.
i honestly dont know why you poeple cling to a game to quickly. Let it lie and develop for at least a year then check on it. If you start following a game right after its anounced then all your going to do is wait for the next piece of information (months away) and then spend the time inbetween speculating.
This goes on until you get so hyped up that you have unreal expectations of the game, play it, then quit because you (emphasis on you) thought it would be better.Wed Jan 21 2009 3:50AM Report
I heard about this game ages ago as well. Frankly, Funcom's reputation has been tarnished thanks to age of conan. They will have an incredibly difficult time in generating pre-orders IMO.
Sure its a different team, different people etc. But people have lost faith in the company. Its like SOE and all the people that complain about it. They boycott their games etc. I can definitely see this happening with TSW.
Personally the idea was intrigueing when I heard of it years ago and I hope it does well. I know I personally am not going to follow it closely though.Wed Jan 21 2009 6:56AM Report
The reason I think nothing has been heard of this game is that it was shelved, held in limbo...no development what-so-ever because they favoured what they thought would be a much bigger project and that proect was AOC.
Now that AOC has finally got it's footing in the mmo market they now have resources to to take it out of limbo.
I do think it should have been round the other way though....AOC held in limbo and WOD getting the attention it deserved.Wed Jan 21 2009 7:39AM Report
Hopefully they have learned yet more from AoC, like they learned from Anarchy Online and this game will be better, and by better I mean more of an MMO. But we'll see.
@ Razephon, Funcom's reputation was already in the so-so department because of Anarchy Online, at least with AoC they have proved they can improve given the time. People who were majorly disapointed with AoC only had themselves to blame imo. Given the disastrous launch of their first MMO... lol.Wed Jan 21 2009 8:05AM Report
Honestly, people should likely focus less on trying to compare this to AoC and think back more to Anarchy Online. Ragnar Tornquist was the major contributor to the backstory for Anarchy Online, which even if you hate the game itself, you have to admit, the premise and amount of work they put into the lore was pretty awesome. Personally, I'm interested in The Secret World because with Tornquist behind the wheel for the story, it's likely going to be top notch. The question is of course if the gameplay will follow suit. Personally, I suggest just letting things progress as they will, and hope it turns out well in the end.Wed Jan 21 2009 3:25PM Report
AO, AOC, Funcom's proven track record for releasing games speaks for itself. I know my entire guild of 30 people wont ever play a game by Funcom on it after AoC.
Just wait till they try and release this game. Forums will be overflowing with AoC rage towards Funcom. I'd dare say it will be even more negative than Darkfall.Wed Jan 21 2009 5:29PM Report

The gauzy filigree that hung over the city today put me in mind of the haunting hip-hop on Dark Time Sunshine's new album, Believeyoume, the listening party for which was held Saturday at the Rendezvous. (You can download the album for free here.)
I failed to perform my soldierly duty and attend the show, as I was still recovering from a week's worth of Tampa Bay solar rays. But I did get my newly tanned paws on three images from the video that premiered Nov. 21 at the Belltown venue. Directed by Christian S. Hansen and filmed in Seattle, the video--which encompasses the songs "Doom," "Go Team," and "The Wrong Kids"--is as-yet unavailable to the public. Nevertheless, the Michael Mann-ish triptych after the jump hints at the cloud cover the album conjures. A lot of dark time and little sunshine ahead, I'm afraid.

Interest and Conversion DetailsThe 2018 notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or, if any such day is not a business day, the immediately following business day, beginning on April 1, 2014. The 2021 notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, or, if any such day is not a business day, the immediately following business day, beginning on July 1, 2014. The 2018 notes and the 2021 notes will mature on October 1, 2018 and January 1, 2021, respectively, unless earlier converted or purchased. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The notes will be convertible, subject to certain conditions, into cash, or, subject to certain shareholder approval requirements, shares of common stock of the Company, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's option. The initial conversion rate for the notes will be 68.3796 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.62 per share, representing a conversion premium of approximately 27.5% above the closing price of the Company's shares of common stock of $11.47 per share on December 12, 2013. Net Proceeds and Their Intended Use The Company estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $974.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses (or approximately $1,169.2 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), and the cost of the initial convertible note hedge transactions, described below (taking into account the proceeds received by the Company from entering into the warrant transactions, described below) is approximately $58.9 million. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company may use additional net proceeds from this offering to enter into additional convertible note hedge and warrant transactions. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering, together with proceeds from the warrant transactions described below to: (1) redeem all $550 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% senior notes due 2019, as well as to pay fees, expenses and redemption premium related thereto; (2) repay all amounts borrowed under its $200 million second lien term loan with a current interest rate of 10.75%, as well as to pay fees, expenses and prepayment premium related thereto; (3) fund the cost of convertible note hedge transactions described below and (4) for general corporate purposes. Privately Negotiated Convertible Hedge and Warrant Transactions The Company has entered into convertible note hedge transactions with multiple counterparties, including the initial purchasers and/or their affiliates (the "hedge counterparties") and in connection therewith, the Company has entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties. The strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions is initially equal the conversion price of the notes. The strike price of the warrant transactions related to the 2018 notes will initially be approximately $18.35 per share, which is approximately 60% above the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on December 12, 2013. The strike price of the warrant transactions related to the 2021 notes will initially be approximately $18.93 per share, which is approximately 65% above the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on December 12, 2013. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company's common stock upon conversion of the notes or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, upon any conversion of notes; however, the warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company's common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants.

Sun Princess Cruise Review by Wombat58: funtastic cruise
Overall Member Rating
funtastic cruise
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Other
Had checked previous reviews regarding Sun Princess cruise ship and got on ship with an open mind.Departed Sydney 05/02/2010 and travelled to following ports of New Zealand. Fjord land cruising, Dunedin,Christchurch,Wellington, Napier,Tauranga(Rotorua),Auckland and Bay of isles.Returned Sydney 18/02/2010.
Ship/crew:nothing but praise -staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem - you asked and you got it.Our room stateroom B206 at front of ship: superb, spacious and cleaned daily with lovely views from window.Meals:more food than the eye could see - watch the waist line. Entertainment:some elderly passengers complained it was too loud and not their type but i found it to be excellent(50,60,70,80 to modern).Suggest to any future travellers - get involved in the on-board activities/games.We used Excellent gymnasium daily and USED STEPS rather than the lifts-this helped to stop us gaining weight from all the good food.
Every night was a great night .The only More down side is there is just too much happening and not enough hours in the day to do it all.And that is the plus side of travelling - you can do it all or nothing - the choice is yours.We chose to involve ourselves in everything which meant early mornings (6.30am) and late nights ( 01:30am).Now we need a holiday to recover from this holiday.
I would definitely recommend this cruise ship to any travellers (new or old).
Shore excursions: organised via cruise ship are expensive but easy to do online prior to the trip.Check out visitor information centres in each port for daily tours- these are cheap. score for trip - 10/10 . Less

Cabin review: cb206
B206- stateroom - superb location , hardly anybody walked past (no pedestrian traffic). Ample size, spacious bathroom,closets and room. No issues identified.Great views from window- easily recommend.
Port and Shore Excursions
When doing shore tours it easy to work out your time table so you can re-board the ship have lunch and then go back to shore for more touring.
Overall trip 11/10 - we intend to do a land trip next time.
Don't go P&O.
Cant quite make my mind up.
Fantastic 8 day break; very pl...
A Thoroughly Enjoyable Cruise ...
Never Ever Ever Again !!!
Thanks, Sun Princess.

I have used Spellbound since it first came out. Thru the years I have had several men and women tell me That I smell wonderful. It makes me feel pretty, sexy, and special. It's worth every penny I spend on it. What makes it so great is how it makes me feel when I wear it. There isn't anything about it that isn't great. I use it every time I go out of my house and some times even when I don't go out.

I first purchased this perfume between 10-15 years ago and remembered liking it then so I decided to try it again and it's not quite what I'd remembered...it's more woody smelling to me than oriental or spicy...it doesn't last as long as I think it should. It is, however, a very good scent for fall/winter. When I asked my husband what he thought about the scent, he said it reminded him of grandma--didn't achieve sexy/provocative with this one.

New PINKY with CARMEN HAYES 2 of 2
thats caz pinky tested hiv positive
Pornsha Desexi, what are you smoking? Pinky is not even close to the hottest black pornstar. Lacey Duvalle is just one example of hotter black pornstars, Nyomi Banxxx, Natasha Dulce, Baby Cakes...just to name a few. The only reason why anyone watch Pinky is for her ass.
I fuk'n hate pinky, with her chunky midget looking self. if people stop praising her ass then she'll lose that nasty ass weight. carmen, keep doing her thing every time & I love then titties.
carmens tits gettin bigger?
all of pinky's scenes on her site are exactly the same, just different outfits. Honestly her porn is not arousing to me. She's pretty but I think she be fakin it. She is the best looking black porn star but not the best performer- outside of her dancing before a scene.
Super tits and a super ass
This was a so so scene.Pinky has let da birth control take over she got kinda chunky,and Carmen's tits are way too big now WTF happened. Don't get me wrong these chicks can take a dick & I'll still bone both at da same time but WTFH. Also whats up with dude wearing a condom with Pinky only mmmmmm..............
i'd do her sosooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fuckin hard its not even funnii bt she probably got aids by all dha dudes she hav fucked
Help improve Spankwire by telling us who
the stars are in this video.
Pornstars are added once we get
enough submissions with the same name.

2003 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Quad Cab 4dr Quad Cab SLT Rwd SB (5.7L 8cyl 5M)
I bought this truck new. It has lasted through 3 hobbies so far. A fifth wheel camper, a horse trailer, and now a 24ft cabin cruiser. It is the Laramie, edition with separate climate control for the front passenger, great for me and the wife. The leather has held up, mo cracks. It has pulled my stuff to Canada and back, Iowa and back and Key West and back. I live in NC. Still love this truck. I got the 2wd because, I new I'd be on the highway most of the time. A few times I could have used 4wd, but I enjoy the ride and fuel efficiency. 5.9 cummins standard output with a chip. I get 20 to 22 mpg empty. I can pull the 14 ft gooesneck and get 17mpg. With the 25ft fifth wheel I got 14 mpg.
I like the Quad cab for storage and passengers. Love the split climate control, ^ disc CD changer and heated seats. The leather in the front has been very confortable and tough as well.
A telescopic steering wheel would be nice and auto climate control would be a nice improvement. Mine is, turn it up or down as the sun changes.
2003 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Quad Cab 4dr Quad Cab SLT Rwd SB (5.7L 8cyl 5M)
Replaced all u joints, front hub, front drive shaft and the motor, yes the motor and this is my everyday family vehicle, pampered everyday. Terrible on fuel.
Engine sound, exterior looks great.
Everything other than the exterior the truck needs a serious overhaul, my truck has lived in the shop. I hate it. I sent an e-mail to Dodge about my truck with all of the repairs and the only thing they said was sorry about your look, hope you will continue to buy dodge products. WOW

I traded my Toyota Tundra for the Dodge with a Cummins, because my Tundra couldnt handle my large fifth wheel travel trailer. The Cummins is awsome. It pulls my 12,000 lb. trailer like its not even there. I have to be careful or I will look down and be doing 80 mph without even knowing it. This truck will pull a house, it has terrific brakes, they stop on a dime. Fantastic heavy duty suspension. I can load this truck and it barely squats. A real mans truck. All this and I get 22 to 25 mpg highway and I still get around 15 pulling a trailer. The Cummins starts perfectly cold or hot. Great truck
The commanding road view and feel. Fun to drive. The smooth and strong cummins power, and fuel economy. The heavy duty work truck capability.
The body metal dents a little too easily. Paint needs to be more durable. Air conditioner freezes up at high speeds on really hot days. But I am told that adding an elbow to the drain condenser drain hose will fix it.

This is my first new pickup truck and
I'm never going back to a car. Traded
a 2001 Lincoln Continental because we
needed something to two our boat and I
had a used Dodge pickup before. The
build quality has improved on this
Chrysler product so much so that I
can't find the words adequate to
describe it. Everything fits. Corners
fit. Moldings are straight. You can
sure tell the Mercedes influence in
these vehicles. Most comfortable seats
I've ever driven with on long distance
trips. Not even a hint of a rattle or
problem. If you test drive one of
these you'd better be prepared to buy
because you WILL want to. Solid,
Solid, Solid.
This is the tightest, most well built vehicle I've ever owned even if it's got a Chrysler badge. Mercedes influence is sure showing. That Hemi V8 has no peers. Raw smooth power under any conditions. Not a hint of problems. Reliablilty perfect. This is the ultimate truck.
They could engineer it so that the rear spark plugs would be easier to get to. There's 2 plugs per cylinder. I also wonder why it hold 7 quarts of oil as oppossed to 5. Thats about the only things I can thing of. The 5 speed auto tranny is flawless so far with synthetic fluid.

Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol talked to more than 80 motorists Saturday during a special patrol before and after the Husker-Penn State football game.
Troopers also issued three citations for driving under suspension, three citations or warnings for seat belt violations and one citation for child restrait violation. Troopers also helped 12 motorists with car trouble, Collins said.
The enforcement was designed to help ease traffic congestion and reduce the potential for injury crashes, Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said. It was the second in a series of special efforts, with more planned for the remaining Husker home game, on Nov. 17, when NU plays Minnesota.
The additional enforcement is paid for thanks in part to a $6,570 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.

Do police in your area find it necessary to regularly travel at an unsafe speed & distance from you?
It appears to be the culture here.
The majority of my cycling miles are on four- to six-lane roads with posted speed limits of 50 & 55mph. Fortunately, the bike lanes are decent overall, the traffic is often light, and courteous drivers will usually move to an inner lane for safer passing.
Except for police cars. I seldom ever see them move to an inner lane. Of course that wouldn't bother me if they could just pass safely. Rather than serving as an example for responsible, safe driving, they tend to pass at relatively high speeds at an uncomfortably close distance (less than 3'...often much less).
And this happens frequently. Today was more of the same, except it occured on a long block where the bike lane is narrow and traffic is more concentrated. Almost all traffic was traveling in the two inner lanes when a police car takes advantage of the open right lane and busts right through. It happened so fast and so close that I had to work to maintain my line. As the officer passed, I watched as his right wheels tracked directly on the white line for as far as I could see. And, no, there wasn't an emergency; s/he waited at the next red light.
Is this really necessary on their part? Are they exempt from safely sharing the road all users? Am I wrong to have concerns about their driving abilities/judgment (based on the cyclists fatalities caused by law enforcement)?

The Climate Optimists
Conservatives have a new line on climate change: "It's real, but it's nothing to worry about!"
Las Vegas is parched. A 14-year drought has left Lake Mead, the local water source, dangerously low. It has dropped 100 feet in the past decade. If it drops 12 more feet, federal water rationing rules will kick in. Some climate scientists predict that will happen in the next year. And most believe the situation will only worsen over time.
The view from inside Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, however, is considerably rosier. That's where scientists, activists, and bloggers have assembled this week for the Heartland Institute's 9th International Conference on Climate Change, which I've been following via live stream. It's the world's largest gathering of "climate skeptics"—people who believe, for one reason or another, that the climate change crisis is overblown.
It's tempting to find irony in the spectacle of hundreds of climate change deniers staging their convention amid a drought of historic proportions. But, as the conference organizers are quick to tell you, they aren't actually climate change deniers. The majority of this year's speakers readily acknowledge that the climate is changing. Some will even concede that human emissions are playing a role. They just think the solutions are likely to be far worse than the problem.
"I don't think anybody in this room denies climate change," the Heartland Institute's James M. Taylor said in his opening remarks Monday. "We recognize it, but we're looking more at the causes, and more importantly, the consequences." Those consequences, Taylor and his colleagues are convinced, are unlikely to be catastrophic—and they might even turn out to be beneficial.
Don't call them climate deniers. Call them climate optimists.
They aren't an entirely new phenomenon. Fossil-fuel advocates have been touting the advantages of climate change since at least 1992, when the Western Fuels Association put out a pro–global warming video called "The Greening of Planet Earth." (It was a big hit with key figures in the George W. Bush administration.) Naomi Oreskes, co-author of Merchants of Doubt, traces this line of thinking even further back, to a 1983 report in which physicist Bill Nierenberg argued that humans would have no trouble adapting to a warmer world.
As global warming became more politically polarized, however, coal lobbyists and their shills largely discarded the "global warming is good" approach in favor of questioning the science behind climate change models. These days the liberal stereotype of the climate change denier sounds more like James Inhofe, the Republican senator from Oklahoma who dismisses "the global warming thing" as "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." (He still appears to believe that.)
There are still a good number of Inhofe types at the Heartland Institute's conferences. But the pendulum of conservative sentiment may be swinging away from such conspiracy theories. Over the past few years, a concerted campaign by climate scientists and environmentalists, backed by mountains of evidence, has largely succeeded in branding climate change denial as "anti-science" and pushing it to the margins of public discourse. Leading news outlets no longer feel compelled to "balance" every climate change story with quotes from cranks who don't believe in it. Last month, the president of the United States mocked climate deniers as a "radical fringe" that might as well believe the moon is "made of cheese."
The backlash to the anti-science movement has left Republican leaders unsure of their ground. As Jonathan Chait pointed out in New York magazine, their default response to climate change questions has become, "I'm not a scientist."
It's a clever stalling tactic, allowing the speaker to convey respect for science without accepting the scientific consensus. But it's also a cop-out, and it seems unlikely either to appease the right-wing base or to persuade the majority of Americans who have no trouble believing that the climate is changing despite not being scientists themselves. At last count, 57 percent told Gallup they believe human activities are to blame for rising global temperatures. That's up from a low of 50 percent in 2010.
Eventually, then, top Republicans are going to need a stronger answer. And they might find it in the pro-science, anti-alarmist rhetoric exemplified by the climate optimists. Those include Richard Lindzen, the ex-MIT meteorology professor who spoke at the institute's 2009 conference and is now a fellow at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute.
In a 2012 New York Times profile, Lindzen affirmed that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and called those who dispute the point "nutty." But he predicts that negative feedback loops in the atmosphere will counteract its warming effects. The climate, he insists, is less sensitive to human emissions than environmentalists fear.
Fellow climate scientists have found serious flaws in his work. Yet it retains currency at events such as the Heartland conference, where skeptics' findings tend not to be subjected to much skepticism themselves. (While several of the speakers are in fact scientists, few are climate scientists, and their diverse academic backgrounds make it difficult for them to engage directly with one another's research methods.)
And the idea that the Earth's climate is too powerful a system for us puny humans to upset holds a certain folksy—not to mention religious—appeal. Still, the Heartland crowd is careful to frame its arguments in terms of science and skepticism rather than dogma.

�The President�s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is a key example of effective foreign assistance and transformational diplomacy in action. Our approach is to empower every nation to take ownership of its own fight against HIV/AIDS through prevention, treatment, and care.�
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
The President�s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Emergency Plan/PEPFAR) is the single umbrella program for all existing and new U.S. Government (USG) international HIV/AIDS activities, including:
The Emergency Plan targets $10 billion over five years to dramatically scale up HIV/AIDS services in the 15 focus countries that account for approximately one-half of the world�s HIV infections. The Emergency Plan also targets $5 billion over five years to support HIV/AIDS programs in additional countries, international research, international partnerships (including the Global Fund), and other activities. In fiscal year 2006, PEPFAR directed approximately $428 million to HIV/AIDS program activities in nations outside the focus countries.
Beyond financial resources, the Emergency Plan represents an important change in how USG global HIV/AIDS support is planned, managed, and implemented. Priorities include coordinating all of the USG agencies working in HIV/AIDS, to create one unified USG response at the headquarters and country levels; a focus on accountability and achievement of results; and the strengthening of indigenous responses, organizations, and systems to combat the pandemic and ensure sustainability.
In 2004, PEPFAR established a Five-Year Global AIDS Strategy for achieving the President�s goals; since then, programs, systems, and structures have operationalized the strategy in the focus countries. Fiscal year 2006 was an important year for formally rolling out communications, coordinated strategic planning, resource allocation, and evaluation mechanisms to bilateral HIV/AIDS programs beyond the focus countries.
These mechanisms are helping to ensure that PEPFAR programs worldwide are in keeping with, and contributing to, the goals identified in the Five-Year Global Strategy. The Emergency Plan is working to develop lessons learned from the rapid scale-up of national-level integrated prevention, treatment, and care programs in the focus countries in order to strengthen interventions worldwide.
Even as PEPFAR works to ensure areas of consistency among programs in all nations with bilateral USG programs, it recognizes that every host nation faces a unique HIV/AIDS epidemic. In all nations, the Emergency Plan works with national strategies to support interventions tailored to local circumstances.
Strengthening Coordination, Management, and Accountability: Ensuring Consistency with Emergency Plan Principles
Adherence to Emergency Plan Policy
Coordinated Programming Across USG Agencies
Collaboration with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
Given the magnitude of the USG investment in the Global Fund and the commitment of the USG to working collaboratively with other international partners and multilateral institutions, bilateral programs provide support to Global Fund grantees; help to leverage Global Fund resources, when necessary; and bring successful programs to scale. One example of support is the provision of targeted technical assistance, in order to improve Global Fund grant effectiveness. This assistance often includes strengthening the capacity of Country Coordination Mechanisms (CCMs), placing time-limited logistics advisors in Ministries of Health to strengthen logistics systems, create unified procurement approaches, and offer management training. USG health teams around the world also play a regular role in reviewing Global Fund grants as members of CCMs, supporting the review of grant progress, and advising Global Fund management staff on implementation issues. These cooperative efforts and resources contribute to making Global Fund money flow more quickly and efficiently. Please see the chapter on Strengthening Multilateral Action for more information regarding coordination between the bilateral and multilateral components of PEPFAR, including support for the Global Fund.
Relationship to Host Country HIV/AIDS Strategies
Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Technical Interventions
Programs receiving greater than $10 million in USG funding are expected to reflect a comprehensive approach to the epidemic, in order to ensure that all key technical areas are addressed, if not directly by the USG, then by other partners who may or may not receive support from the USG. For example, a country may be supporting AIDS treatment using Global Fund resources. It would not then be expected that USG bilateral resources would be used in this area, although the USG team may choose to provide technical assistance to Global Fund grantees to promote the success of treatment efforts.
Accountability and Focus on Results
Reporting and Documentation
In fiscal year 2006, among the 99 programs receiving bilateral HIV/AIDS resources outside of the 15 focus countries, five received more than $10 million, 15 received between $5 and $10 million, 23 received between $1 million and $5 million, and the remainder received less than $1 million. A list of PEPFAR countries that received $1 million or more is provided at the end of this chapter. Requirements for reporting and documentation are dependent upon fiscal year 2005 HIV/AIDS funding levels, as follows.
Countries with Funding Under $1 Million
Countries with Funding Between $1 Million and $5 Million
Countries with Funding Between $5 Million and $10 Million
Countries with Funding Over $10 Million
Regional Platforms
These platforms perform three basic types of work as part of the Emergency Plan. Their most important role is to budget for, plan, implement, and monitor HIV/AIDS programs in countries with no dedicated, resident USG HIV/AIDS staff. This role includes providing technical assistance, particularly in strategic information, to these �non-presence� countries, and providing management and administrative support for HIV/AIDS programs.
In addition to their primary role supporting non-presence countries, regional platforms provide technical and management support to Emergency Plan programs in �presence� countries. They also conduct cross-country activities to address regional needs and build the capacity of regional networks. Technical support to presence countries consists of technical assistance, training, and the exchange of information and experiences among countries in the region. The regional platforms foster close collaboration and coordination among the different USG bilateral programs working in the region and facilitate periodic meetings of USG HIV/AIDS staff and other key stakeholders. They also conduct cross-country activities, such as cross-border prevention and care programs that serve mobile populations.
Communication and Support Strategy
Prevention data for the seven country-level indicators are limited to the PMTCT programs. Both downstream and upstream data are reported for the five countries with more than $10 million in PEPFAR support, while only downstream data are reported for the remaining 38 countries.
Country-level treatment results are limited to the number of persons receiving antiretroviral treatment. Each of the five countries receiving greater than $10 million has PEPFAR- supported treatment programs, while 14 of the remaining 38 countries receive PEPFAR treatment support. Downstream data are available for all countries, and only the five countries with greater than $10 million report upstream results.
Reporting of care indicators is limited to counseling and testing results. Both downstream and upstream data are reported for five countries with more than $10 million, while only downstream data are reported for the remaining 38 countries.
PEPFAR continues to support host nations� efforts to build human capacity, train people to prevent the medical transmission of HIV, provide PMTCT services to pregnant women and their infants, deliver HIV-related palliative care, conduct HIV counseling and testing, and perform necessary laboratory tests. In addition, PEPFAR supports programs to train country staff in monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, and health management information systems, as well as policy, capacity-building, and stigma and discrimination reduction programs.
Increased Financial Commitments
Similarly, the USG has continued to remain the largest contributor to the Global Fund, having provided approximately 30 percent of the Global Fund�s $4.8 billion in funding commitments through fiscal year 2006. Thus, of the $476 million the Global Fund has committed to projects in China, India, and Russia, approximately $143 million is attributable to USG contributions.

K12 Inc. Announces Court Ruling in Favor of the Chicago Virtual Charter School
HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN) is announcing that the Circuit Court of Cook County in Illinois issued summary judgment in favor of the Chicago Virtual Charter School (CVCS), dismissing a lawsuit brought by the Chicago Teachers Union that claimed the charter authorized by Chicago Public Schools and Illinois Board of Education was illegal.
"K12 is pleased that the Court ruled in favor of this successful public school"
The judgment ensures the continued lawful operation and funding of CVCS.
The Court concluded that the Plaintiffs arguments fail as a matter of law. The Court determined that CVCS is not a "home-based" school and therefore not in violation of charter school law, and that the school is in full compliance with the Illinois School Code.
In the ruling, the Court emphasized the differences between the model of instruction employed by CVCS and traditional home schooling, stating:
"Home schooling is a well-known and established means of education. While the form of home schools may vary, the underlying substance of the education is decided by a student's parents. Home schools do not have to teach according to ISBE's [Illinois State Board of Education's] mandated curriculum, nor are the students required to take standardized tests to meet the State's requirements for basic skills improvement. CVCS, however, is required to teach according to the ISBE curriculum. CVCS students must meet the State's requirements of the No Child Left Act. CVCS is subject to fiscal oversight by the ISBE and CBOE [Chicago Board of Education]. And, unlike home-schooled students, CVCS students are graded by certified teachers."
CVCS began operations in 2006. It currently serves more than 500 students in grades K-11. The school uses the curriculum, materials and school services provided by K12 Inc., the nation's largest provider of proprietary curriculum and K-12 online school programs.
"K12 is pleased that the Court ruled in favor of this successful public school," said Ron Packard, Founder and CEO of K12 Inc. "This is a great relief to the many students, parents, teachers and administrators that believe so strongly in their school. They are all very excited about the school's continued success in the future."
About K12 Inc.
K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN), a technology-based education company, is the nation's leading provider of proprietary curriculum and online education programs to students in kindergarten through high school. K12 provides its curriculum and academic services to online schools, traditional classrooms, blended school programs, and directly to families.

I am looking for a lovie for my son. It can be a blanket, a bear, etc.
Any great ideas? I would like something unique or adorable.
DD loves this stuffed elephant we found at Carters - she went nuts when she saw it and loves to hold on to it and tries to eat its trunk.
mommy to Maya Elise 6/2/09
married to Chris 9/25/04
ryobee -- No, it is actually pretty lacy underwear, which is another reason why it definitely had to be an "at home" lovey. But I do have a really funny picture of DS putting DH's boxer briefs over his head when he was like 15 months.
My sister still has a piece of her blankie and she's 28!
Amy - Married to Michael; Mom to Brendan (4.75) & Megan (2.5)
We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load -Gillard, Servant Song
Both of my children are attached to blankets.
My husbands parents bought this twin size fleece Kung Fu Panda blanket for my son not long after he was born, but we didn't start using it until he turned a year old. Over the past several months he has become very, VERY attached to it. He never had one when he was a little baby. If anyone else is using it, or if we're just holding it he'll come running at you screaming "Pooooooooo!!!" (Like the Panda from the movie).
The same day I found out that I was having a girl with our newest addition I went to wal-mart and bought this pink and white fleece blanket and I wrapped her in that the same day she was born. Since then she has to have that blanket or she gets very fussy. When she was in the hospital at five weeks with a bad virus she would scream and scream unless she was wrapped in it. It doesn't matter if she is sweating while in it she has to have it.
I agree with PP you don't always get to choose. Just get a couple of things and see what happens. :)
Happy Hunting! :)
Mrs.Me + Mr.Him = Two of Them
My Lo has a "wubby" so named because it was a gift from my cousin whose boys both had them and that's what they call theirs. (I think it's "Lovey") LOL Anyway it's the Carters toy/blankie. Very soft, Perfect size for his little hug and he likes to suck on the ears!!!
Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about...
Every baby I know that has one of those blanket bears loves it. Here is a pic of my DD with hers
Sydney (24) + DH (29) = Jillibean (2.5) + TTC #2!
Do you have a POAS problem? There is a group for that
My DS adores this doggie-blanket... snuggles it every night! :-)
I had a little blankie I bought before I ever knew I was pregnant and now Kira is so attached to it. The lady in the church nursery even jokes about how she would go nuts if we lost it. It is made from Angel Dear. There are all kinds of little animals and they are super soft. Plus they have little fabric knobbys on their feet that Kira LOVES to chew on. I guess it feels soft on her little gums. Even better, they sell "a pair and a spare", which is a package of 3, just in case.
Here's Kira and her "Fred":
We never leave the house without him. He's a little blue hippo....
Mama to Kira (6/3/09) and Ariana (7/1/10)
Merging Mom&Me @ MamaFusion
My LO loves his paci, I wish he wouldn't but he does. Also it is a bad habit but he loves my hand. If he is even the slightest bit restless at night I stick my hand in his bassinet and he grabs on and falls right back to sleep. I guess that is something I will need to break him from soon.
ecila32 - we have that same giraffe/blankie! It's name is MooBob. My silly husband named him that thinking he was a cow. I had to tell him it was a giraffe but the name had stuck :)
I've been using one of my LO's daddy's baby blankets to cover him at night and the other day I had it in the wash and went to put LO to bed with a different blanket and he threw a fit. So I went to get the one in the wash he always sleeps with and he was much better after that. So I think that might become his lovie. We also have this stuffed monkey he loves to chew on.
