Global Solutions Goals and ObjectivesPage address: https://www.mnsu.edu/strategicplan/global.html
Goal 1. Envision the university as a problem-solving engine without internal or global boundaries.
Objective A. Promote "GSThinking" at Minnesota State Mankato by initiating new campus conversations and ongoing campus dialogues in the following ways:
- In August 2010, the GSThinking goal will be the focus of an exercise during the Administrative Retreat.
- Use Convocation in August 2010 as an opportunity to kick off the Global Solutions initiatives and other strategic priorities.
- In September 2010, a subcommittee of the Global Solutions Task Force members will meet with different bargaining groups as well as MSSA to explain the GSThinking initiative,
invite their input into the process, and solicit an opportunity to conduct a forum with individual or collective groups as appropriate. This will be followed by:
- During AY 2010-11, hold forums dedicated to the Global Solutions Thinking initiative with bargaining units and divisional groups. Assess attendees.
- During AY 2010-11, hold two open, public forums for all interested faculty, staff, and students dedicated to the Global Solutions Thinking initiative. Assess attendees.
- By Spring 2011, initiate a Global Solutions Lecture Series featuring members of our faculty and staff and outside thinkers on topics related to Global Solutions.
Global Solutions Center
Objective B. Establish a Center for Global Solutions.
- Incubator. By May 2011, create an incubator program to work with at least four faculty members to encourage collaborative teaching and research.
- Themes. Select major global solutions topics to form a theme for each academic year.
- Host a major conference annually on the selected theme.
- Hold regular forums with Minnesota business leaders to identify major problems and brainstorm solutions.
- Hold weekly colloquia on the theme, including external speakers or faculty members presenting relevant research as working drafts or finished papers.
- Encourage other events throughout the year to associate with the annual theme.
- Council. Establish a permanent Advisory Council to the Center for Global Solutions.
- Assess. Assess campus global awareness by making the Intercultural Development Inventory available to students and employees, and by requiring it of all those involved in the Center for Global Solutions.
- Center for Collaboration. By May 2011, establish a Center for Collaboration funded by Federal and State grants as a pilot program for all MnSCU schools as well as other interested universities, colleges and schools.
- Tech Transfer Accelerator. By May 2011, create a Global Solution Accelerator that provides resources in support of those who champion Global Solutions and the transfer of knowledge and technology to practical applications. The Accelerator will be established based on the following information gathering:
- By November 2010, each division will conduct a needs assessment related to their respective work and how it interfaces with solution driven projects for local, state, regional, national, or international problems.
- By January 2011, each division will engage in one or more "GS think tank sessions" related to potential partnerships that could lead to a formalized collaboration related to global solutions work.
- By April 2011, each division will form a new partnership that will focus on an initiative centered on Global Solutions work.
- By September 2011, form a campus-wide GS Think Tank with participation of the GS Leaders that builds on the divisional conversations and partnerships in objectives 1.e.i. and 1.e.ii.

- Curriculum RFP. Through May 2014, use an RFP process to support at least one existing program per college per year with curricular enhancements that reflect a Global Solutions emphasis.
- Infusion. Identify opportunities to infuse Global Solutions Thinking into existing courses so that every MSU student has a classroom-based GS experience, for example:
- Speaking. Explore whether public speaking courses might require a speech on GS themes;
- Writing. Explore whether first year composition courses might require a paper on GS themes;
- FYE. Explore whether FYE courses might have readings or assignments related to GS themes.
Objective C. By November 2010, a cross-divisional work team will be formed that includes representatives from Diversity, Student Affairs, and other areas as appropriate to create a long-range plan for integrating GS initiatives with co-curricular learning experiences.
- ELI. Establish an English Language Institute (ELI).
- GS Experiences. By 2015, every MSU student will have the opportunity to take a "big idea" or problem facing the world and apply solutions-oriented research to it in at least one of the following ways:
- URC. An opportunity to present results at the Undergraduate Research Conference; or
- GRC. An opportunity to present results at the Graduate Research Conference; or
- Service Learning. Through GS-oriented service learning experiences, or other appropriate venues.
Interdisciplinary Programs
Objective D. By May 2011, launch programs, which are developed out of a collaboration of at least three different academic departments.
- Reach Area Youth. One possible topic might be how to "Reach Area Youth" to develop self-esteem, a sense of purpose, and develop critical thinking skills to be problem-solving and caring individuals in the community
- Youth Institute. Another possible collaboration is by Fall 2011 to establish an Institute for Childhood and Youth Studies that draws on intellectual resources across the campus.
- Center on Aging. Another possibility would be to enhance the Chesley Center on Aging
- Academic Alliance. By May 2011, create a GS Academic Alliance with all area schools, K-12, and higher education
- Disaster Response. By June 2011, set up a "Global Solutions Response Team" task force to identify and marshal University resources and competencies to plan a response strategy to natural disasters wherever they occur.
Goal 3. Communicate, collaborate, and partner internally and externally to identify, pursue, and promote global solutions.
Objective A. By December 2010, inventory current Global Solutions activities to establish a baseline.
Objective B. The Center for Global Solutions will annually audit the number and depth of Global Solutions partnerships across the University, supporting and recognizing units that achieve at each level. The audit rubric will include the following levels, with Level III being the desired level: 1. Level I (lowest level) – Simple transactions between internal and/or external partners; or other simple relationships that bridge "silos." 2. Level II (middle level) – Pooled resource collaborations and collaborative program design between internal and/or external partners; or other robust relationships that eliminate silos. 3. Level III (highest level) – Pooled resource collaborations and collaborative program design between internal and/or external partners focused on Global Solutions goals and objectives; or other robust relationships that eliminate silos and involve significant international activity.

Palladino: Stallings wins new Gilmore award
We began handing out basketball awards in this city in 1963. The first was named after Billy Finn, the great Sacred Heart star who died in an automobile accident at age 18 after a brilliant career.
Later awards were named after long-time Waterbury Republican sports writer Francis "Doc" McInerny, for academics, and after former Sacred Heart star Jack Cullinan, who was killed in action in Vietnam, for sportsmanship.
And on the 50th anniversary of the first Finn award, the city basketball coaches initiated a new honor, the first in more than 40 years. Yes, it has yet another Sacred Heart connection.
The first John Gilmore Award was presented to Crosby High senior Devin Stallings during the NVL basketball tournament last month.
Gilmore was unable attend the presentation, but the man who coached the Hearts form 1964 to 1979, including the legendary 1967 state championship team that many consider the best basketball team from this city, is back in town and he visited Crosby High on Monday to formally congratulate Stallings.
This new annual award goes to the city senior deemed the best defensive player. Gilmore said it is an honor to have his name on this new award, and he is clearly pleased that it emphasizes the defensive part of the game.
"I always believed that basketball players would spend more time working on the offensive part of their game," Gilmore said. "When they came to the gym, it was my job to prepare them to play defense."
Gilmore, who taught in the Waterbury public school system for 34 years, and even did some coaching at Wallace Middle School, churned out his fair share of future coaches, like former Kennedy coach Jack Taglia, former Sacred Heart coach Chris Murphy, and current Holy Cross coach Ed Generali. t was Generali who introduced the Gilmore idea.
"I remember his huge intensity, which greatly overshadowed his height," joked Generali. "His emphasis was on defense."
Generali, known for a defensive coaching technique where players held a brick in each
See AWARD, Page 5C
hand to build strength and quickness, and cause a bit of agony too, said he learned that from Gilmore.
"He is where the bricks came from," Generali said. "He made us big, slow guys wear ankle weights and carry bricks when we practiced the full court press. His practices were intense and focused. He was not only a great role model, but he is a true student of the game."
Gilmore, as do many dedicated coaches, attended every coaching clinic he could find. He doesn't remember where he first heard about the bricks, but that ploy was handed down from college coaches.
"I think the defensive influence came from Bobby Knight," Gilmore said. "He invited coaches to West Point when he was there, and I went there to watch him run practices."
Gilmore, 77, went far and wide seeking knowledge about this game, and he attended clinics and lectures featuring basketball luminaries like Kentucky's Adolph Rupp, UCLA's John Wooden, former NBA, St. John's and South Carolina coach Frank McGuire, and Maquette's Al McGuire.
I can't imagine there is anything about the game that Gilmore doesn't know.
"It feels great to be honored for being the defensive player of the year," Stallings said Monday. "I've always focused on playing defense. You can change the game by taking a charge, blocking a shot, or with a defensive stop."
Stallings was particularly pleased to be the first Gilmore winner. "It feels like you're writing history," said Stallings, who takes his game to Dean College next season. "He has a legacy, and to be the first person means a lot."
Listening to Stallings talk defense brought a smile to the coach's face.
"Defense is definitely under-emphasized by the players," Gilmore said, referring to many, not all, but many off-season basketball programs. "It is ignored by everyone but the coach."
And maybe even the folks who give out the postseason awards.
Not any more. The Gilmore Award is here.

" How about some awards for the sub-urban kids. Congrats to all the city winners. The history of those awards are great. I just think an award ot two should be created to be given out each year to a sub-urban athlete. "

" John Gilmore was my 1st. coach at the Boys Club.We called him Gizzie and I know he hated the name.John played for the Boys Club varsity and wore a metal cage to protect the glasses he wore. He was a quick,pesky player.We who played for him had a great role model in John.I later had the unpleasant task of coaching against him and some excellent Sacred Heart teams .It is a fitting honor for John.

by Mahboob A. Khawaja, Ph.D.
Politics is a game of pretension like a stage drama enacted by planned scheme of things, casts, dresses, clichés, performance images and the end goals- a willing suspicion of the disbelief of the performed act. The actors pretend to be something; they are not but make the audience feel entertained with unthinkable. The Western democracies enjoin systematic programs of political good time with billions of dollars budgeted for the information media, performers, perks, imposters and the real actors – politicians making stage shows to win the game. Politics is about winning, not losing the invisible battlefield. There exists a wide gulf in ideas and perceptions how the Israeli politicians define political games and what the Arab rulers perceive of the intents and purposes of politics. The puppet show goes on for ages with the blessings of the European colonialists and the US intermediaries claiming to be the proponent of peace but none knows what peace means in the real world. The Europeans, the US, Israelis and the Arab rulers, all have role-plays in instigating animosity and perpetuating insanity in public affairs, relations and conflict management.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
At issue is the internationally agreed upon agreements from the UNO to the latest US policy stance, the establishment of an independent State of Palestine living in con-existence with the State of Israel. The recent opening chit-chat between the PLO and Israeli leaders mirrored a glimpse of positive hope but soon it disappeared after three rounds of non-agenda meetings. If the US sponsored dialogue has any serious merits, why it is not based on a formal agenda for the peace negotiations?
The peace dialogue must be seen in relatives terms contingent upon number of factors:
If all the parties involved are serious, they are responsible to create a conducive political environment in their sphere of interest to encourage the masses for open minded exchange of social, moral and political thoughts and practices. The ordinary folks on both sides of the aisle cannot be ignored. The 6th decade old perpetuated animosities between the Arab and Israelis will not go away with the blink of eyes. Have the Arab-Israeli politicians given enough thoughts to these pre-requisites for the emergence of peace talks? The realities on the ground speak a different language although sign are there for understanding the relative importance of the new peace endeavors. There should have been a formal and well defined agenda to facilitate the favorable dialogue for peace. Such a move should have given the feeling to the belligerent viewpoints that something different and positive is in the making. For the agenda setting, the primary onus is on the US-Israel to demonstrate clearly that:
- All the illegal Israeli settlements are stopped
- Removal of the inhuman barbed–wired culture and walls from Palestine reminding of the Nazi era treatment and captivity of the Jewish people- a shame that East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza areas depict that image of human captivity in the 21st century so called civilized world
- To allow free movement of people and goods across the occupied territories
- End of the blockade of Gaza
- In spirit and reality the end of the Israeli occupation paving ways for the freedom of Palestinian homeland.
Strangely enough, none of these vital factors were considered relevant by George Mitchell or the Obama adminsitration claiming to be the proponent of peacemaking.
Take no solace; the on-going Arab-Israeli conflict is as critical in global politics of the 21st century as it was in the mid 20th century. The global institutions such as the UNO failed miserably to evaluate its value in human terms. The continued animosity fed insanity leading to institutionalization of fear and mutual distrust over six decades. Since the Israelis and Arabs have opened-up the corridors of backdoor politics, would reason prevail over insanity to articulate a new hope for a promising future and durable peace in the Middle East?
All the actors in the peace dialogue process appear active and energetic to compete for global attention, recognition and credibility data. The Arab rulers are always keen for a peace deal with Israel but there are serious problems of missing proactive moral and intellectual leadership and institutionalized capacity for interactive dialogue to make positive things happen. So much so that "peace" has lost its meaning and purpose. For the Arab rulers to be effective, must RETHINK about their own short comings and political capacity to conduct the peace negotiations. Islam emancipated the Arabs to develop a knowledge-based global civilization unparallel in human history. Its progressive achievements and contributions to the making of the European civilization are second to none. But with petro-dollar transitory prosperity, the Arabs seem to have compromised the norms and principles of Islam, they fell in humiliation and defeats and confined to remote palaces, not mindful of the world around them. Realism lives in denial that the Arab had success and honor and global achievements not as an Arab Ummah but as Muslim Ummah based on the adherence of Islam. They breathe and enjoy life on foreign myths and political clichés, misfit for the Arab-Islamic culture. If the wealthy oil producing Arab rulers were open to communication and listening to the voices of REASON and HONESTY by Muslim scholars, they could have made the earth feel their existence and weight. Modernity is an illusion, whereas, Islam is the real lifeline for the humanity to pursue happiness and success. With massive Western indoctrination, the Arab rulers ignored Islam as a system of governance and adapted modernity of political tyranny against their own people and indifference to the issue of Palestine.
Comparatively, Israelis have institutions and political leadership to represent the national interest although divergent viewpoints regularly sustain the Israeli political culture from one extreme to another. The Israeli politicians are fearful that Zionism doctrine is no longer relevant to the foundation of Israel and in recent days they have opened up the debate to call Israel a "Jewish State"- changing the belief from Zionism to Judaism. Some other extremist figures will stall the peace talks by insisting on continued Jewish settlements in the occupied land. Arab rulers date back to the colonial age and lack smart and intellectual foresights to compete with the Israeli strategies, often doing the opposite what was demonstrated to be agreeable and forthcoming. Recall the Israel spokesman at the beginning of the peace talk in early September stating that "Israel is looking for a large cemetery to bury the past" and to make new beginnings for peace talks with Palestinians. Instead, Israeli bulldozers went to the ancient Muslim cemetery in East Jerusalem and started disturbing the dead and removing their graves. One Arab member of the Knesset called it" Israeli war against the living and deads." Israeli Government has some committed Zionists to oppose any peace initiatives with the Palestinians. There are other Jewish groups active for peace and co-existence with Palestinians and many leading Jewish scholars and intellectual outside Israel supporting the two states solution.
To Allan Hart, "Zionism" is the real enemy of the Jewish people. Now, the Israeli leaders are asking the people to make allegiance to the Jewish state although for all practical purposes, it was a Zionist state. Are they changing the religion of the Israeli state? Israeli policy makers enjoin proactive intellectual aims and strategies and are capable to manage navigational change even under most unfavorable circumstances but not the Arab rulers. The Arab world lacks institutions and proactive, educated and intellectual leadership to cope with the contemporary political contrasts and innovative ambiguities in policies and practices. Often the Arab rulers have relied on rear mirror to move forward in relations with Israel and the rest of the world. Islamic faith and civilization gave the Arabs intellectual prominence and successful standing in global affairs. Islamic approaches to governance are institutionalized and focus on people's consent and advisory for the development of official policies and practices. God fulfilled the promise of authority on earth when the Arabs were in complete submission to God and followed the Islamic system of governance. Islam defines the people of the Book, namely the Jews and Christians as part of the concept of Ummah- One nation originating from the Abrahamic faith. For 800 years, Jews and Christians lived in peace and honor and flourished during the Islamic civilization in Al-Andulus-Spain. In all human affairs, the Arab leaders used to have moral and intellectual superiority as they were dedicated to follow the commands of God. The Divine message (Al-Qura'an: Al-Noor), illustrates the truth clearly, if the contemporary Arab leaders are open to listening, learning and advice:
"Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds,
That He will of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them,
That He will establish in authority their religion- the One which He has chosen for them; And that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they lived to one of security and peace…"
The politics is a game of pretension and stage acting overwhelmingly embedded in leadership acts of knowledge and intellectual pursuit to challenge the existing status-quo. The 21st centruy is overwhelmed with war of new ideas and innovation. To deal with the US and Israel, the Arab leaders need creative challenges, not submission to the dictates of colonial masters. But the old-aged Arab rulers have little to share with the knowledge-based modern age of creativity and impressive leadership. They live in palaces, not with people to understand the encompassing realities of the 21st century global politics. Leaders create leaders but rulers inherit the rule, fair or foul. Most of the Arab rulers are authoritarian, and operate in close circuit political cell excluding the voices of reason and intellectual foresights. The phenomenon of change is not allowed in the corridors of palaces, it lives in denials. But the Israelis are the master of change, both in policies and practices. Were the peace talks simply meant to dispel the global anti-Israeli reaction against the brutal attack on the Turkish flotilla sailing to Gaza with humanitarian aid and the killing of 7 innocent Turkish aid volunteers? If so, they have managed to disregard the global criticism with the US complicity and active support. The people of Gaza are suffering from the Israeli blockade and Arab states/leaders combined are not in a strategic position to break the Israeli blockade. Given all the wealth and the illusion of economic prosperity, all the Arab rulers do not weigh on the global scale of leadership role play. If they adapt to listening and learning as critical values for effective leadership, they can be changed and reformed to perform with improved leadership qualities. Learning is vital for the 21st century innovative leadership.
One wonders, when would the Arab rulers relinquish the neo-colonialism traditions and make ways for the new, educated and intelligent young generation to assume leadership role and be able to challenge the prevalent insanity in global affairs. The Arab leaders do not have the political and strategic capacity to challenge Israel and its occupation of Palestine, whereas, Israel despite its military strength and institutionalized power, cannot claim to be at peace and durable in search of a peaceful con-existence. There are persistent engineered animosities, not rationally balanced perspectives for the peace talks to be meaningful for mutually favorable outcomes. Nobody would like to be seen as failure after the latest stage of the Arab-Israeli dialogue. It was different and more transparent than any other in the history of Middle East affairs. The global community expects positive outcomes. If an independent State of Palestine is established, it is a win-win for Israel and the US too. But if insanity is allowed to prevail over reason, freedom and tyranny of occupation, then all the parties have failed and that is what especially, the US Obama administration would like to avoid the embarrassment of another failure after the prolonged failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israeli leaders can well make the difference in peacemaking if cynicism and insanity are denied a role in the decision making. President Obama desperately needs some concrete and tangible global achievements to maintain balance of power within the congress and the US presence in global affairs. The international humanity is watching carefully if the Arabs, Israelis and Americans will strive to be winners or losers in the peacemaking process? History shall judge them by their actions, not by their claims.

If you ever dreamed of owning your own home, but can't afford one, one homeownership program may be for you.
It's called Dream Augusta, and its low-cost mortgages and down payment assistance may be able to help you.
It's a program that will open the doors to a new home.
"I think homeownership is a dream for a lot of people," says Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver.
But for many it is a dream far from reality.
Now Dream Augusta is helping potential homebuyers with low cost first mortgages, low interest rates, and down payment assistance.
Phil Cottone, director of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, says the program has been successful in other markets in Georgia.
"We also have down payments assistance in the form of a second mortgage which is zero percent down with deferred payments with no payments due until the home is paid off or no longer the primary residence," Cottone says.
The state program is teamed up with Augusta's housing department.
Potential first time home buyers can find a home up to $160,000 as long as it is in Richmond County.
"With the Dream Augusta program we are coupling our down payment assistance with the down payment assistance available in the city," says Cottone.
Realtors say this should help them reach more clients.
"This program will allow us to qualify more buyers to buy their homes and it will assist them into getting the down payment assistance that they will need," says J.J. Clark, a broker for Goodsense Realty.
Dream Augusta is helping people fulfill their American dream.
"What we are finding is people with incomes lower than what we typically see being able to purchase a home are now being able to do so," says Cottone.
"Anytime you get people buying homes that builds a since of pride for homeowners," Copenhaver says. "It is going to build a since of pride for our community."
Dream Augusta is the 7th program set up in Georgia.
The others are in Valdosta, Macon, Brunswick, Savannah, Albany and Columbus.

Taylor Swift may already have another victim ... er, boyfriend.
Swift was seen out with British singer Tom Odell on Thursday night in London, according to E! News.
Apparently, the pair had drinks at the Florists Arms pub in Bethnal Green, East London, then went to the members-only Groucho Club in Soho, according to the Mirror.
Odell is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter known for writing penning songs inspired by heartbreak, notes the Mirror. One of his most popular hits is "Another Love," about someone he fell for while in school.
Oh God ... make it stop, already.
On Wednesday, he scooped up the Critics' Choice Award at the 2013 Brit Awards, where Swift performed "I Knew You Were Trouble" while recent ex-boyfriend Harry Styles of One Direction watched from the audience.
According to the Huffington Post, the two connected last month when Swift got flirty with Odell on Twitter. The 23-year-old singer gushed about his talent and he replied with "xx" (kisses).
Oh God ... please, please make it stop.
The British singer was asked about the flirtatious tweets with Swift during an interview with Spinner this week.
"Maybe she is," he responded, when asked if he thought she was flirting. "Quite nice. She's a pretty girl. Perhaps. I don't know. I've never met her before, so it's strange, flirting with her. But if she is, then cool. I should have flirted more back, maybe."
Perhaps you two should start writing songs about each other right now, and get it over with.
He and Swift were apparently introduced backstage at the Brit Awards.
Odell, who covered Swift's "Trouble" during a recent BBC appearance, is also a fan of her work. "Taylor Swift is a really intriguing character in music in that she's one of the biggest pop stars in the world and yet I think her songs are brilliant, I really do," he told Spinner. "I think she writes really dark lyrics ... I think she's a lot more real than people think she is."
Please, please, PLEASE?

Participants with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program are checking with local senior citizens daily. Without this service, program officials say some elderly would likely not be able to survive the extreme heat.
We caught up with RSVP volunteer Kathleen Jordan as she visited senior citizens in our community.
"How's your air working? Is your air working all right?" she asked Meridian resident Berniece Hill, who said yes.
"This is one of the reasons you check. They'll say, 'I've got air', but it's covered up. It's not working," said Jordan.
Although this air conditioner was covered, the homeowner assured us that she has a larger one inside her house. However, that wasn't the case at Jordan's next stop.
"These are where the knobs should be, but the knobs are not working," said Jordan, pointing to the unit. "Consequently, if she turns this on, it won't turn on."
"You see, around about one o'clock, I'll be burning up," said Meridian resident Ruth Baskin. "It gets hot and I'll have the ceiling fan on and I turn that old air conditioner on."
''A lot of times when I come by, she is sitting on the porch because of the cool air out on the porch," said Jordan. "But you can only stay on the porch so long."
Although the air conditioner at the front of the house is broken, just as with Hill, Baskin says there is a second air conditioner in her house.
Because many senior citizens don't have air conditioners, they are broken or they're afraid to use them because of the cost, RSVP officials say each one of the program's 218 volunteers commit to checking on elderly residents weekly.
"All of our volunteers call and check on other seniors in the community," said Diana Glover, RSVP director. "They check on them in the nursing homes. They check on them in their homes. They visit with them."
"We call them every day or every week at least. If we don't hear from them, we go and see why," Jordan said.
Jordan says if each one reaches one, all seniors will be taken care of everywhere.
To arrange for an RSVP volunteer to check on an elderly resident call the Meridian office at (601) 482-0512.
Most the volunteers are in Lauderdale County. However, there are also some in Clarke and Newton counties as well.

Knitter's Review
August 6, 2009
Finding a good pattern for a knitted gift can be as tricky as finding a ready-made gift at a store—if not trickier. You want something interesting, attractive, and original. But you also want something you can actually complete within a realistic period of time.
Ann Budd has just released a new book of knitted gift patterns called, fittingly, Knitted Gifts. It contains more than 30 diverse, fresh, and inspiring projects ranging from quick to heirloom. It's the first knitted gift book to catch my eye in a long time, and I review it this week.

There are no great surprises in the CSR. However it is a bit worrying that the cuts are really rather vague and the promised spending increases are very specific. Will the cuts actually be delivered? At the same time, there could have been some cuts made that have been specifically ruled out – the winter-fuel allowance, free TV licences, child benefit for 16- to 19-year-olds and so on. Such cuts could have generated substantial tax cuts for the lower paid and helped the supply side of the economy.
Indeed, the debate must now move on to the supply side of the economy as the private sector must be able to grow to take the space which the government now occupies. The signals there are not good. The government wants to take the "maximum sustainable revenue from the financial services sector", the minimum wage is rising and the full rate being extended down the age range, and we have new maternity leave provisions from the EU which will cost businesses £2.5bn. We now need a supply side revolution!

Some of the customers I sell to, I get to be friends with. The other day, I called on one that had just gotten out of the hospital.
I sat a spell while he told me about his ordeal in the hospital and his brush with death. I thought it was worth repeating. It reminded me that prayer is the greatest healer and lives can be changed with it. I hope I can do this story justice, as I'm writing from my memory alone.
I was surprised at how well he was able to put his thoughts and feelings into words so soon after that kind of ordeal.

For John Lasseter, 'Planes' Gets Personal
As chief creative officer of three animation branches at Walt Disney Studios, John Lasseter has directed and overseen some of the biggest critical and commercial hits in the world of computer-animated film.
He has an unexpectedly close emotional tie to the coming movie "Planes."
Lasseter's films have won the Oscars, and earned some staggering profits. But Lasseter, 56, says what really drives him is making films that touch audiences. "That's my 100% focus," he said. "It comes from our own stories. It comes from our own hearts."
He helped conceive of Disney's new 3D, animated film "Planes," which is "inspired by the world of 'Cars'" and will be released Aug. 9. Set in the world of racing airplanes, "Planes" centers on Dusty (Dane Cook), a crop duster who dreams of becoming a highflying racer and competing in the international circuit.
In one poignant scene, Dusty is on an aircraft carrier (called the "USS Flysenhower") with his mentor Skipper, a reclusive veteran of WWII. Dusty struggles to understand the truth about Skipper's wartime experiences, which Skipper is loath to discuss – until he finally shares what happened, and there's a flashback to WWII.
"It was very important to me to get that right, because my father was on an aircraft carrier the entire time during WWII," Lasseter said.
Lasseter's late father, Paul Eual Lasseter, served in the U.S. Navy as a gunner on the USS Saratoga, which was scheduled to be in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the day of the attack. But the USS Saratoga had been late leaving the Bremerton, Washington shipyard, and was just pulling into San Diego when it was announced that the Japanese had launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
"They had 24 hours and they loaded everything San Diego had on the decks of the Saratoga and down below. Changed and steamed at 35 knots, which is incredibly fast for a ship that's the size of a city," Lasseter said. "My father pulled into Pearl Harbor four days after the bombing and he said everything was still burning. He said they never told the public how bad it was. It was really bad."
Lasseter said his father was "the kind of WWII veteran that never talked about it." But that all changed when Lasseter took him to the premiere of the Disney film "Pearl Harbor" in 2001. The screening was set on the deck of the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis in Pearl Harbor.
The Lasseters stayed at The Royal Hawaiian Resort, also called "The Pink Palace," which is where his father stayed for R&R during WWII.
"He was sitting there on the beach telling me stories about how it was just a giant lawn with no other hotels around it, and he said it was truly paradise," Lasseter said. His father recounted how he was in Pearl Harbor in October, 1941, and called it "absolute, utter paradise." But when he returned just three months later, the Naval Base had been completely destroyed.
"He was telling me all this for the very first time when I took him there, just me and him," Lasseter said, his voice cracking.
As he shared another story, Lasseter broke down in tears.
"We went over to see the USS Arizona, it was very moving. So we had a — sorry, now I'm getting emotional here — we had a tour of an Aegis Missile cruiser, and my dad walked on the ship… the captain saluted him [Lasseter pauses to collect himself]. I'm so proud. He never talked about it, ever, and he stepped on that ship and the captain saluted him… The captain took him around and introduced him to all of the seamen and the captain was telling my dad's story and they looked at him in awe because they know, because they are sailors. They know what my dad's generation did with what equipment they had to work with. And they look at my dad like, you are a hero."
When they returned home, Lasseter's father opened up about his wartime experiences to Lasseter's five sons. The family later traveled to Washington, D.C., and visited the National Air and Space Museum. They sat in the naval aviation and WWII section, with Lasseter's father describing the photos and sharing more stories.
They also visited the USS Hornet, now a museum in San Francisco, as a family. Lasseter's father also served on the USS Hancock, which is the same class as the USS Hornet. "It was wild to walk around on this WWII era ship, him telling the stories to my sons and seeing my sons soak it in," Lasseter said. "My father's passed away now, and they'll always have these memories."
In "Planes," the veteran Skipper opens up to Dusty for the first time about his past, and the scene involves a flashback to a brutal WWII battle. Director Klay Hall, also the son of a Navy veteran, said Skipper was very much modeled on his own reserved father, who like the elder Lasseter, didn't talk much about the war.
"A lot of people were questioning that scene, about how strong it was," Lasseter said. "But it's the way it was. My dad, when he finally opened up, he talked to me about truly how scared he was at times. At the end of the war, they were being bombed by suicide bombers. They would come out of the sky, coming straight down from the sun where they couldn't see them."
Lasseter is proud of that unflinching sequence in the film, and sees it as a way to honor veterans.
"It's not just a cutesy talking plane movie. There are some very powerful moments in this film," he said. "To honor my father, to honor Klay's father, and to honor all of the veterans out there, we wanted to get it right."

I thought that muxing original AC3 track(no transcoding) should work. If not, then PS3 or other renderer doesn't support switching from 2.0 -> 5.1 in real-time.
What about to use chapters or FF, GOTO etc??? If first 10sec video has 2.0 audio and then it is switched to 5.1 (HBO etc.), if you skip this part and play file directly from e.g. 1min, does it work?
I should expect that file will start with 5.1 so you will hear pure 5.1 audio without any slowdowns due to 2.0->5.1 switch?
Hello ExSport,
Had tried with the new version of the problems were gone, but they are still there.
I can provide you with a sample of a episode of True Blood if you still want to.

My Review:
I am a lip balm fan, I have been ever since I was a tween (back in those days they didn't call them tweens though...) I have lip balms every where, and I know a great lip balm when I use one, and Ell's Naturals, a Texas based company has come up with a wonderful lip balm that I love, I was able to try each of the scents available in the lip balm line, and I was very impressed with the smells, they are true to the natural smells, the lemon smell was like fresh squeezed lemons not an artificial scent at all.
Mango Butter With Coconut, was my favorite scent, it was so fresh and tropical. I loved the way that the balm made my lips feel, so smooth and not gummy or greasy. My daughter has picked up this nasty habit of picking her lip (she has pretty dry lips, and they get flaky) as much as I tell her to stop messing with her lip, it never works but I have found the answer, I have given her, her own Elle' naturals the Coffee Butter Vanilla Latte, she thinks that only adults can have coffee, and since having the great smelling coffee the lip balm this makes her a "big girl" so she has started using it instead of bothering with her dry lips. I do believe if she keeps this up her lips will be smooth and no longer dry. I am very impressed with Elle' Naturals lip balms, I would recommend them for lip balm lovers everywhere!

Hunger in America -- and in the Tri-Valley -- will take center stage Jan. 16 in Pleasanton during a free screening of the award-winning film "A Place at the Table: One Nation Underfed."
The event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Firehouse Arts Center, 4444 Railroad Ave. The event is co-sponsored by Open Heart Kitchen, the City of Pleasanton and the Dublin Rotary Club. After the film, Linda McKeever, Open Heart Kitchen's executive director, will provide an overview of hunger in the Tri-Valley and host a question-and-answer session.
The 2012 film examines the paradox of hunger in the United States through the stories of three Americans who face daily worries about how to find food, and discusses how hunger creates serious economic and social problems. Insight is provided by hunger activist and actor Jeff Bridges, author Raj Patel and Tom Colicchio, of the TV show "Top Chef."
"This is a fabulous film," said Open Heart board member Joanne Hall. "Having this screening and making it available for free is part of our goal as a board to educate people about hunger.
"I think people in the Tri-Valley don't think about it as much as those in areas with large homeless populations or more poverty. We live in a fairly affluent area, but there is hunger here," she said.
Open Heart Kitchen provides 263,000 meals in the Tri-Valley each year. Because it relies on a network of community organizations, businesses and volunteers, organizers hope the film will motivate others to become involved in helping to meet the need.
"We're hoping we'll get a good cross-section of the entire valley community here," Hall said. "This is a good opportunity to get to know Open Heart Kitchen ... it's not necessarily about fundraising or bringing in money, although that always helps our efforts. Our primary intent is to make this film available so people can learn."
if you go:
What: Film screening of "A Place at the Table: One Nation Underfed," followed by local perspective and question-and-answer session hosted by Linda McKeever, the executive director of Open Heart Kitchen.

SAN MATEO -- Burlingame wrapped up a 10-0 regular season of out and out domination with the biggest margin of victory in the 86-year history of the Little Big Game, a 48-0 win Saturday over host San Mateo.
Burlingame extended its advantage in the series to 50-32-4 and has won 15 of the last 17.
An outmanned San Mateo team hung in there for a half and trailed just 14-0 at the break. But Burlingame (10-0, 5-0 Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division) came out with the determination to make a statement to start the second half, ripped off a 28-point third quarter and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions of the second half.
"We woke them up a little at halftime,'' Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos said. "I felt like they came out a little lethargic. We were out of our realm, playing a day game. To the kids credit, when we challenged them they responded, like they've done all year. They played like a one seed.''
That's the next bit of business on Burlingame's agenda -- the Central Coast Section playoffs. Philipopoulos is hoping his team receives the No. 1 seed in Division III at Sunday's seeding meeting.
"This game should provide some momentum we can take into the playoffs,'' Philipopoulos said. "Hopefully all the way to Week 13,
Burlingame, which was in the PAL Bay Division last year, dropped down to the Ocean this season and absolutely hammered every team it played, scoring 469 points and allowing 66. In holding San Mateo scoreless the Panthers registered their fifth shutout of the season.
"We are just determined to have shutouts every week,'' said 6-foot-5 linebacker Steve Cosenza. "We put our heart and soul into every practice.''
The offense averaged just a tick under 47 points per game without any individual stars. Despite averaging a mere pass attempts per game, Burlingame's Wing-T running attack produced no 1,000-yard rushers. But all three starting running backs -- Manase Palu, Keone Keahi and Robbie Baumgarten -- were in the 600 to 900 range.
"We have no one outstanding back, but that's not because we don't have anyone capable,'' quarterback Avery Gindraux said. "We have three backs who are all capable of being a big standout back on their own team. They all work hard and it doesn't matter who has the ball.''
Keahi scored three touchdowns and was named the game's outstanding player by the Great American Rivalry Series, which named the Little Big Game as one of the top 100 rivalry games, nationwide.
"This means the world,'' Keahi said of winning the Little Big Game to finish the regular season 10-0. "I've never been on a team that went 10-0. These are my brothers.''

PALO ALTO -- Buoyed by a big increase in its personal computer business, tech giant Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday reported third-quarter sales that exceeded what Wall Street had forecast but its profit slumped from the same period last year.
The Palo Alto company said its sales totaled $27.6 billion for the three-month period that ended July 31, up about 1 percent from the same period a year ago. But its profit was just under $1 billion, compared with about $1.4 billion for the third quarter in 2013. That worked out to fully reported earnings of 52 cents per share.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters generally had expected fully reported earnings of 68 cents a share on sales of $27 billion. HP's earnings also were far shy of its own prediction of 59 cents to 63 cents a share. On a measure that excludes certain expenses, however, the company's earnings met analysts' expectations.
"I continue to be very encouraged by the progress we're making," CEO Meg Whitman said during a conference call with analysts. But she noted that some aspects of HP's business -- notably printing and software, which saw a decline in sales -- "still face some challenges."
HP reported its earnings after the market's official close, when its shares fell 36 cents -- or about 1 percent -- to $35.12. Its stock price continued to slip in after-hours trading.
HP offers a wide variety of products, including computer networking switches, routers, servers, data storage devices, cybersecurity services and data-analysis software. But its biggest single source of money comes from sales of its personal computers, which grew 12 percent for the quarter compared with a year ago.
"Surprisingly, consumer PCs improved, which hadn't happened for many, many quarters," noted tech analyst Patrick Moorhead.
Nonetheless, Whitman noted that the overall market for PC's "continues to contract," due to dwindling interest from smartphone-obsessed consumers. That's been a big concern to HP's investors.
In addition, the corporation has been heavily criticized for some corporate acquisitions in recent years, including its $11 billion deal to buy British software company Autonomy in 2011. Shortly after completing that deal, HP wrote off $8.8 billion of Autonomy's value, saying it had been misled about Autonomy's worth. It also recently replaced two board members who'd been blamed for the purchase.
Autonomy's former CEO, Michael Lynch, has denied HP's claims that Autonomy's value had been artificially inflated. But those accusations are under investigation by U.S. and British authorities. In addition, the Autonomy purchase has sparked lawsuits by HP shareholders, alleging that HP didn't protect their interests when it pursued Autonomy.
Since becoming CEO in September 2011, Whitman has shuffled her executive ranks, attempted to focus the company on more profitable products and cut expenses, including laying off a good chunk of her workforce. After having nearly completed jettisoning 34,000 workers it began laying off in 2012, HP -- which has about 317,500 workers worldwide -- announced in May that it planned to cut an additional 11,000 to 16,000 employees.
The company's shares have been steadily rising for nearly a year. Nonetheless, Wall Street experts have a mixed view of its near-term prospects.
One positive is that many companies recently have been replacing their computers, in part because of Microsoft's decision to stop providing updates for its widely used Windows XP operating system. In addition, HP's market share in PCs and some computer-server niches "has also strengthened over the last three quarters," according to a recent report by Bernstein Research analysts. However, they added, "we worry that many of HP's end-markets are unlikely to see material revenue growth going forward."
In a separate note to their clients, Raymond James analysts concluded that "PC growth has peaked, as evidenced by commentary from several large resellers and distributors," and they called HP's ability to grow "questionable."

Skip breakfast, lose weight? Not so fast
IHOP's country fried steak and eggs comes with two eggs, hash browns and two buttermilk pancakes for a total calorie count of 1,760. It also has 3,720 milligrams of sodium. (Photo IHOP/CSPI) (CNN) — Skipping breakfast doesn't mean you'll consume more calories later in the day, according to a new report from Cornell University. Researchers split 400 college-age students into two groups; they fed one group breakfast and the other no breakfast. They then tracked their eating habits throughout the day and measured the amount of calories they were consuming.

Moore was chosen as "Mr. EMJC" and a class favorite before finishing his football career at Delta State University.
ED MOSLEY (Meridian) – Ed Mosley says he learned invaluable lessons of responsibility while playing football at East Mississippi Junior College in the 1970s.

At the collegiate level as a record-setting coach, he spearheaded the development of the current baseball facilities at Meridian Community College. Instrumental in the organization of the Mississippi junior college all-star baseball game, Smith was inducted into the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior College Hall of Fame in 2009.
