Ditch the Plastics! Save the Colorado, Be an Advocate :)
LOHAS 2012 Conference this June in Boulder was a highlight for 1%. Why? Because some pretty amazing 1% member companies rocked the Partnerships Panel, talking about great work they are doing with non-profits in the network. Moderated by Melody Badgett, SVP 1% for the Planet, Klean Kanteen Co-Owner Jeff Cresswell, Patagonia Footwear Marketing Manager Sue Harvey-Brown and New Belgium Sustainability Specialist Katie Wallace shared stories of meaningful partnerships that are delivering real impact.
Ditch the Plastics!, Advocate Weeks and Save the Colorado programs, respectively, are moving the needle on engaging consumers in giving back, building awareness around key issues and changing behaviors in positive ways… all supporting the environment in innovative ways that are proving to also be good for business.
Its clear that, while giving is good, companies really want to do more and working in partnership with non-proftis enables "doing together what we cannot do alone". The 1% network is fast becoming a place where partners connect, validate and communicate their commitment and, as the emphasis on partnerships grows, 1% sees a huge opportunity to help mobilize and scale more partnerships among likeminded leaders.

You might find it useful to know about the symptoms of diabetic hallucinations if you have developed an insight about the visual as well as auditory objects that are not actually present in the environment and are a diabetic patient too. Though diabetes is a really serious and dangerous disease that is capable of giving rise to other health complications also, hallucination could be considered by many patients as one of the problems that got originated due to the frequently fluctuation sugar level of the blood.
Mostly, the people having type II diabetes are more prone to the other ailments as compared to type I diabetic victims. However, there is no surety of this fact as type I diabetes patients also deem to get the prey for other syndromes.
Is Hallucinations Really Caused By the Diabetes?
Though it might seem to be so, diabetes is not really the cause for all the illusions that you have been experiencing lately. Rather, the vaccination and oral doses that you have been taking since months to keep your blood sugar levels under control is the main reason behind all your fantasies and unreal visions. Thus, make sure that you keep a check on regular dosage of medicine that you are consuming.
How to Identify Symptoms of Diabetic Hallucinations
You might undergo a number of different moods along with some other warning signs that your body would develop, indicating that you have been suffering from the diabetic hallucinations. Some of the commonly found symptoms are stated below:
you would find it difficult to make even the simplest choices in your routine life, thus making you feel incompetent in taking your decisions.
Dry Skin
your skin would suddenly become so dry that there would not be even a single trait of sweat even in the unbearable hot summer days.
Weakness in Only One Part of the Body
you would feel that a particular part of your body have become so weak over the days that it fails to perform its functions without making the extra efforts.
Hampered Vision
the diabetic hallucination patients are most prone to the deteriorating vision with each passing day. Thus, you would have to get spectacles to have a clear vision.
Frequent Fever
you might feel ill more regularly. Thus, you body will become warm, developing fever more often and indeed without any reason.
What to Do Once You Figure Out that You Have Diabetic Hallucinations?
If you think that all the symptoms of diabetic hallucinations are prevailing in you then you should make efforts to prevent them from enlarging and hence becoming more dangerous, ultimately hampering your routine life. Make sure to keep checking your blood sugar levels more frequently to keep a regular pace with their fluctuating rate. Besides, it is recommended to drink as much non-caffeine beverages as possible during your daytime.
Knowing the symptoms of diabetic hallucinations would not only clear your doubts that whether you are suffering from any such side effect of varying sugar levels of you blood or not, it would also open the alternatives for you to get it treated as the budding stages only.

In the 40-year rich history of research about gender and helpseeking attitudes, college age women have been shown time and again … to score statistically better in quantitative studies and empirically more favorably in qualitative studies than men in their attitudes toward seeking psychological help and … academic assistance. —Dr. David DiRamio
But when DiRamio conducted an online survey on the help-seeking attitudes of women veterans, he was unprepared for the results. An associate professor in administration of higher education at Auburn University AL, he is also a veteran.
At the NASPA annual conference of student affairs administrators held in Orlando in March 2013, DiRamio discussed how schools can help women vets transition to academic life.
Using services increases retention
With two million current veterans and one million more expected within the next decade, student vets are a group that many schools seek to enroll and retain.
Students who use the services of veterans' centers are more likely to persist in higher education than those who don't. But many schools that created and funded veterans' centers found they weren't attracting much foot traffic.
Looking for research on the help-seeking attitudes of returning veterans, he tried to determine what works. DiRamio created an online survey he adapted from a 1995 instrument, "Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale." His survey measured women vets' attitudes toward getting psychological counseling and academic assistance like tutoring.
Conducted with the support of the Alabama Veterans Affairs Association, his survey went out to students at seven Alabama schools: four were four-year schools and three were two-year schools. Of some 1,500 students receiving surveys, 167 responded, about a quarter of them women.
Surprising findings
DiRamio and colleagues at Kent State University OH followed up by conducting 30-minute in-depth interviews with 13 female student veterans enrolled at either Auburn or Kent State. Analyzing the results, DiRamio discovered that the mean help-seeking scores for female and male veterans were statistically equal. "After an exhaustive review of the literature on help-seeking from the 1970s forward, this research study appears to be the only investigation where a sample of college-age women scored statistically equal to men in their attitudes toward seeking help," he said.
Women vets are suffering. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the unemployment rate for 9/11 female vets surged to 19.9% in September 2012, compared with 9.7% for all veterans. Women were about 15% of all military personnel who served in Iraq; they were at risk for both military exposure and sexual assault by colleagues and superiors.
Women vets and military culture
In conducting the study, DiRamio and his Kent State colleagues wanted to understand what was the meaning and essence of their lived experiences. Their guiding theory was women's identity.
Their research found that the women vets fell into one of four groups, based on whether they had experienced a crisis and their level of personal identity as a veteran:
• Path makers were most likely to complete their degrees. They viewed their military service as important, but just one piece of their lives.
• Gatekeepers were skeptics. They retained their military identity on campus, had no interest in a student identity and considered the campus community to be ridiculous.
• Searchers were looking for ways to merge their new identity as a student with their military service.
• Drifters were ambivalent. They didn't completely identify with the military but also were the most likely to drop out of college.
Since studies show that most college women are more likely than men to seek help, why did the women vets score equal to men in seeking help?
DiRamio and his colleagues theorize that since the military culture is based on the male characteristics of dominance, conformity and being one of the good old boys, seeking help is seen as a sign of weakness.
The military cultivates an ethos of self-reliance, encouraging members to prove themselves and figure it out by themselves. Self-reliance brings respect.
Women soldiers feel that they must prove themselves. Although they see themselves as beautiful, tough and smart, they also believe that they must set an example for other women.
Vets who see combat are respected as heros. Because women aren't allowed in combat, their status is inferior. They feel unworthy of help and reluctant to take campus services away from those who faced combat.
Coming out of the shadows
DiRamio and his colleagues have discovered that a plan to "build it and they will come" doesn't work with this group of students, unless builders are very proactive in communicating the availability of services.
• Because women veterans are often found on the fringes, communicating the programs and offerings all across the campus works best.
• Administrators, staff, faculty and students need to encourage women vets to use the support services due to them.
• Helpful services such as drop-in childcare, programs to assist them to secure campus employment and focused meetings with single mother veterans can help to connect them to other key resources.
The research can help women veterans to transition to a student identity and benefit from the campus services offered to them.

Supreme Commander invades the 360
Written Wednesday, June 11, 2008 By Joe Robinson
Gas Powered Games and Hellbent Games have joined forces to adapted the power-house PC strategy title for the Xbox360.
Publisher Aspyr Media originally announced a release date of March, however they ended up pushing it back to a "late summer, early spring" release. This proved to be not far off the mark, as yesterday Aspyr confirmed that Microsoft had certified the game, and that it would be hitting stores on June 23rd.
Supreme Commander's sense of epic scale still remains one of the major selling points for this port, and the console version will feature some exclusive units, as well as new online modes and updated maps.
It has been reported that the game will have both single and multi-player modes, with the online matches able to support up to four players.

The lyrics you heard as a child will always be the right lyrics. Everything else will always sound wrong. My mother had a two record set of Christmas music by the Longines Symphonette. (I don't know what happened to it.) One of the songs on it was Oh Holy Night. One line of the lyrics was different from every other version I have heard. Instead of, "A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices," it was, "A song of joy through all the world there echos". I have searched for years and still can't find another version with the "right" lyrics.
However, I couldn't resist Jim Nabors. You probably have to be at least my age to understand why this is surprising.
But I think from now on this will be my favorite recording of Oh Holy Night. You can't be annoyed by the lyrics if you can't understand them.

Blue Ivy Carter is already getting a feel for designer duds.
Beyoncé carried her infant daughter in a leopard-print wrap for their latest stroll in New York City on Sunday. The new mom, 30, was beaming as she enjoyed her second outing in as many days with her 7-week-old baby girl. On Saturday, they were spotted out to lunch together in the West Village.
"We welcome you to share in our joy," the singer and husband Jay-Z said recently, sharing the first photos of Blue Ivy since her birth on Jan. 7. "We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."

George Washington's vision for a canal system in Virginia began in the 18th century to bypass the falls of the James river. By 1840, the canal was completed from Richmond to Lynchburg and passengers, wheat, and tobacco filled the boats that cruised its waters. The railroad thundered onto the scene by the 1880's and canal travel was obsolete. By the turn of the century, the canals were abandoned and fell into disrepair. Today Richmond's canal has been restored and flat-bottomed boats steered by your captain offer unmatched views of the city of Richmond as well as the natural beauty of the James River. During the 40-minute tour on a 35-passenger flat-bottom boat, your captain will entertain you with tales of the city's waterways and dynamic history as well as its canal wildlife, centuries old brick warehouses, cobblestone streets, iron railroad trestles and soaring highways. This is truly an unforgettable experience in an unforgettable city.
You're invited to step onto a canal boat and step back in time during May Thursday through Saturday noon to 7 PM, and Sundays noon to 5 PM. In the summer months of June 2 through August 29th, the boats run Wednesday through Saturday Noon to 7 PM and Sundays Noon to 5 PM. Days of operation will be reduced in September, October and November, so plan your trip now and take advantage of this fabulous opportunity! Adults $5, Seniors (65 years old and up) $4, children $4 or Free if 4 years old or under. More information about Richmond's River District.
Add this Richmond tradition to your agenda for your trip to Richmond Virginia and choose Richmond's premier downtown bed and breakfast as your lodging option. Free off-street parking, hearty gourmet breakfasts, and complimentary evening wine and snacks are all part of the package. Guests from around the world have delighted in the William Miller House Bed and Breakfast's version of southern hospitality.

The IT media must be in a pitiful state when an article like "Is Sticking With Solaris a Wise Choice?" one found its way into the web. In the times of waning editorial budgets it seems it just to easy to place
The points of critic are multitude about this article:
When you really want to read it, you may have a look at the page of enterprise networking planet. However i'm really disgusted how easy it is to place such articles into the media.
- It's not obvious at first, but when you read this article to the end, you will find the biggest point. The guy writing this article is working at Canonical. Just in case you don't know what Canonical is doing: Selling support for Linux.
- It's interesting, that Canonical is launching an new support offering at the moment, calles Ubuntu Advantage. Is it just coincidence that this article was published now?
- The author of this article wants to tell you thats expensive to afford Solaris. But i want just to make a simple calculation: A year enterprise support costs you $1200, to get support for as many VMs with Ubuntu's as your server can eat, you have to purchase the Advances Cloud Add-on Support you have shell out $599 (it's the way i'm understanding this page, corrections are welcome). Let's to an calculation: Software-only support for as many Oracle Operating Environments (Solaris, OpenSolaris, Oracle Enterprise Linux) and Oracle VM as your server can eat costs you 8 percent of the net hardware price (after your rebates). So as long as the net price of your hardware isn't higher then $22487, Solaris support is actually cheaper.
- Sorry, i don't get it ... but why is "You can't get hardware only support" a problem of Solaris?
- I know that everyone wants to see btrfs as the ZFS alternative in the next few month. Forget about that. File systems need a long time to get ready for prime time, they need even longer to get wide adoption and trust. I really don't get it why many Linux people think that brtfs is different about that. You can savely add four to five years from first 1.0 release to the a significant speed up of the adoption of an filesystem. And brtfs isn't even at the 1.0 level now. Perhaps the Linux community is blinded by the speed of the ext2/ext3/ext4 adoption ... those filesystem were just incremental developments, nothing completly new. Bye the way: The Linux community must be cautious, you can crash a system by a problematic new features, but you aren't allowed to lose data. Customers experiencing data loss are burned customers and will return vastly later, if they return. The Linux community will endanger brtfs by touting it as production ready or ZFS equivalent to early.
- The author writes that dtrace is one of the interesting features of Solaris, just to forget about it later.
- The article is full of FUD. It just trying to spread fear to the customers.Full of speculations.I wont comment on all of that

Plate a laptop with aluminum alloy is not a thoroughly new method, but it's growing in reputation and liken to mimic imagine trendsetters approximating Apple. The brushed metal is mocha painted and can be establish on the lid and the palm relax area. The relax of the border is made up of artificial and one of the reason why the laptop strength seem boxy look.
If you completely need to have a visual drive, the HP 4425s has a fixed dual-layer DVD burner, as do the Lenovo T410s, and Toshiba R705-P25.I am a big advocate of receiving rid of the interior visual drive in an attempt to trim the mass, which is exactly what the HP 5310m did. The HP 4425s has an HDMI port, which is a characteristic you won't find in the Dell 3300 and Dell E5510. One of the 4 USB port double as an eSATA port, in container you want to get bigger storage further than the included 500GB HDD. Other facial appearance embraces Ethernet, all in-1 card reader, VGA, and a 2 MP webcam.
Certainly, the 1.6GHz AMD Phenom II P920 CPU has four corporeal cores, two additional than the Intel Core i3 or Core i5. You would imagine presentation is at smallest amount similar or better than its Intel counterparts, but it isn't. It's one of the uncommon periods when a dual core AMD processor, such as the 2.8GHz Phenom II N620, which be able to be establish in the*HP Pavilion dv7-4053cl, in fact perform improved than the quad-core alternative. In this container, you actually do have to pay notice to clock speeds 1.6GHz versus 2.8GHz. Though worksheet users, programmers, and*Hulubuffs won't find this mechanism lethargic, there are quicker SMB laptops that you are able to buy for about the similar price.

The polarizing Bachelor star released a YouTube video on Tuesday honoring his relationship with winner Nikki Ferrell and titled "Adventures in Loving You."
Galavis picked – but did not propose to – Ferrell on the finale, and though the two were still a couple during the After the Final Rose special, the former soccer pro wouldn't say whether he loves her.
The 32-year-old has expressed his frustration with the ABC reality show, and he hinted at his controversial reputation in the video's description.
"Thanks for these INTERESTING 4 months of HIDING, now that the CHARACTER of 'The Bachelor' is OVER, it is time for US to live our life for REAL," he wrote to Ferrell, 26. "Te ADORO." (Watch the video below.)
The montage, set to an original song, shows many moments familiar to viewers: their first meeting, exotic dates and onscreen smooches. But it also includes behind-the-scenes selfies and screenshots of video chats during their separation between the finale's taping and airing.
Although host Chris Harrison may not be convinced, Galavis says he and Ferrell are ready for romance away from the spotlight – even if she isn't sporting a Neil Lane sparkler on her finger quite yet.
"I don't feel there's a need to propose to somebody if I don't feel 100 percent," he told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "I didn't know Nikki. I want to know more, a lot more."

We tested the big boy of the 2011 Litewave Wings, the 161. This is a light wind specific board and it stands out when compared to other twin tips. The board features wide tips, a reverse sidecut outline, and a very deep tip to tip single concave. There are two fins on the heel edge and two near the tips of the board close to the centerline. This board has more rocker than last year's model and is fairly flexible.Read More »

Schloss Esterházy information
Schloss Esterházy, a giant, Schönbrunn-yellow castle-palace that dominates Esterházyplatz, is Eisenstadt's most important attraction. Dating from the 14th century, the Schloss (castle) received one makeover in baroque and a later one in the neoclassical style. Many of the 256 rooms are occupied by the provincial government, but 25 can be viewed on tours.
The regular tour covers about seven rooms, giving you an insight into the history of the palace and the lives of the people who inhabited it. The highlight is the frescoed Haydn Hall , where during Haydn's employment by the Esterházys from 1761 to 1790 the composer conducted an orchestra on a near-nightly basis.
The Haydn Explosive exhibition across the palace courtyard offers an interesting conflux of history and the new: Haydn's music accompanies you as you walk past exhibitions on the life and work of the great composer, a nifty holograph depicts a string quartet, period furniture is projected onto the ceiling and a minuscule hole in the floor has an odd projection of a bare-breasted woman shouting abuse while burning in hell. To get the most out of the palace and Haydn, do the tour, then the Haydn exhibition.
Shortly after Joseph Haydn died in 1809, his skull was stolen from his grave in Vienna. The headless cadaver was returned to Eisenstadt in 1920, but it wasn't until 1954 that the skull rejoined it in the Bergkirche.

Best Bomber Briefcase
By JDwdc
from Washington, DC
I own many of the Bomber Jacket products, including the larger briefcase, the courier bag, the tech case, etc. Briefly, since I own the other brief cases in this line, I can honestly say that this one is the best for everyday use. It's slim and has all the features you expect from the Bomber line, and yet not too heavy. The added feature of the zipper expandable is also good for those times when you have big books to lug around. The strap is the only drawback in that I prefer the strap on the tech briefcase (that one's wider and more comfortable), but luckily all of the Bomber products are interchangable, so I just switched them up. This is a good value for a nice looking briefcase with daily functionality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We offer the lowest prices and the best service for this Oak Furniture online or in your local showroom. But there are so many other reasons why you are best off buying your Solid Oak Furniture from us, whether it be an Oak Nest of Tables or a 4-door Oak Wardrobe with Shelves. Lets just start with the Oak Furniture itself that has got to be the most important part. Thats what you will live with hopefully happily - for years to come.
Here at Stock2u Ltd. We have been dealing in wooden furniture for decades but so have hundreds of other businesses. Stock2u is positively different, however. We are not satisfied with the really nice Oak Furniture, which you can find on every street corner, and in any Oak Furniture Store. We think you deserve even better, both with regards to prices, quality, aesthetics and functionality. And our promise is that we deliver on all counts.
We specify the Oak Furniture from scratch right down to the screw level. And we take control of the production process. We have our own staff placed in the factories, and we check all details during the production process. For each production, we generate a thorough inspection report (4.5MB PDF - click to download an example).
To provide excellent functional Oak Furniture design, we build in little things, like adjustable shelves in Oak Sideboard Cupboards DVD drawers in Oak TV Units or flexible shelving options in the Oak Wardrobes. These are just a few examples of little functional design features which you may take for granted. But look for these three examples in the nice Oak Furniture you find in your local Oak Furniture showroom we bet you that these logical features are missing, unless of course you visit one of our authorised dealers.
You can order your new oak furniture from our web site. Or you can order from your local furniture shop, if this store is an authorised dealer. If you order Oak Furniture online, your local dealer will take care of your order, and we guarantee that you get your Oak Furniture in a timely and professional manner. This means that the guarantee for your satisfaction is shared between a dealer an independent privately owned retailer and us. We only authorise dealers who we know provide a high level of customer care, and who are financially strong. If your local dealers web site shows our validation seal, then you are in good hands and can order with confidence. Look for this seal:
Well, you can always order your Oak Furniture with confidence online, but if you wish to see the furniture in the flesh before ordering, and there is no authorised dealer in your area, then we recommend that you bring your request to your favorite local furniture store. All they have to do is to call us, and get a few items or indeed a full display - delivered within a fortnight (depending on where in the country you are). By doing that, you help yourself make an informed choice, your favorite local furniture store and future owners of Oak Furniture from Stock2u in your area.
If you just order from this web site which is really easy and convenient you are also in perfectly good hands. You can see whats in stock, and if its not in stock, you can see when its due in.
The stock status relates to stock in our Hereford Warehouse. If we have it in stock, which is the norm, you should get your delivery within 2 weeks. But your local authorised dealer may have their own stock, which means that the Oak Nest of Tables, Oak Bed, Oak Sideboard or Oak TV Unit you want is readily available immediately even if our warehouse is temporarily out of stock.
Solid doesnt always mean quality, and Veneer doesnt always mean cheap and tacky. Shopping around, you will find really cheap furniture, made entirely of Solid Oak in an awful quality. Equally, you will find really expensive and lovely furniture, made of MDF with veneer in a superb quality with a substantial price tag. The truth is that if you want your Oak Furniture to last and remain in the same condition in which you bought it, you certainly want some or most of the components to be made of Solid Oak. But if quality and durability of your Oak Furniture matters, then you want some of the components to be made of other, more stable, materials than solid oak, which will always move and twist a little with changes in temperature and humidity. Clearly this may bring with it - over time - undesired changes in the appearance of your oak furniture.
Durability for your Pine or Oak Furniture is top priority for our product development. For this reason, we use SOLID OAK in components, only where the solidness improves quality, design and aesthetics, and reduces the risk of problems when the furniture is placed in modern centrally heated houses. Some components made of a high spec oak veneer on particle board will remain in the original condition for longer. This generally applies to relatively large, thin panels, such as Oak Dining Table tops and Oak Sideboard side panels. Using Solid Oak for these components would bring with it risks of warping, or - even worse cracking, when the humidity and temperature of the environment in which the oak furniture is placed, changes. Also, inside components such as drawer sides and backs may not be made of solid oak, but another solid hardwood wood.
Many books have been written on this subject and myriads of production techniques have been applied. We wish to keep it simple and apply the principles underneath when designing and specifying. Thus, oak furniture from Stock2u is made to:

A massive 5-foot long snake missing for weeks has been found, school officials told KCCI Wednesday.
Davis County High School Superintendent Dan Maeder said the snake was found Wednesday at 7:30 a.m.
Maeder said a custodian found it in a science classroom inside a plastic food container.
The food container is where the snake was usually kept.
Police told residents in Bloomfield on June 7 to watch for the snake that is the length of an adult human. Police and firefighters searched the area around the school and a nearby pond, but didn't find the snake.
The snake has now been returned to its owners, said Maeder.

Can foreign retail benefit India?
ndia's federal government recently announced a number of economic reforms aimed at attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to boost the country's economy, including further opening its retail sector to allow multi-brand retail operations with foreign ownership of up to 51%. Despite political posturing against the policy, it passed a vote in both houses of parliament. In the following commentary, K. Sudhir, the James L. Frank '32 Professor of Private Enterprise and Management, professor of marketing, and director of the China India Insights Program, says the move will benefit India's economy in a number of ways, from improving infrastructure and regulatory environments to the acquisition of technological knowledge.
Most economists believe that opening India's retail sector will help the country over the longer term, yet it would be an understatement to say that the policy has met with substantial political opposition. India has a huge underinvestment problem in logistics and supply-chain infrastructure that drags down efficiencies in the overall economy. Modern retail, especially foreign direct investment (FDI) and the entry of foreign retail, would provide the impetus for investments in such infrastructure. It is critical to obtain scale efficiencies for modern retail's sourcing and distribution, and these infrastructures will have substantial efficiency spillovers across the economy. And, of course, the biggest beneficiary of the increased efficiencies would be the Indian consumer, who, over the long term, will get better quality products at lower prices in a better shopping environment.
However, the political blowback has been considerable. Even political parties that support India's government roundly criticized the policy during parliamentary debate for the purpose of political theater. Publicly, opponents argue that the move will drive the several million kiranas, India's mom and pop stores, out of business. This argument is driven in part by powerful lobbies that represent the kiranas, who see the direct competition from modern retailers.
Beyond the power of the kirana lobby, public sentiment runs high on this issue because in a poor country where there is no insurance in the form of social safety nets, a very large number of people view such stores as insurance. What does a poor Indian faced with a bad harvest or a downturn in labor conditions do? He sets up a little kirana store. So even many people who don't own a kirana empathize with kirana owners. When modern retail is perceived as taking away an "option" for large segments of the population, it is no wonder one can get people riled up against it very quickly. In the short run, there is little cost but much political gain in opposing modern retail.
How does the country as a whole advance its long-term goals while addressing short-term concerns of a large segment of the population? First, it is important to understand that the perceived threat of modern retail for kiranas is much larger than the reality. Even as modern retail gains market share, kiranas are not going extinct—at least not in the foreseeable future. As India's incomes rise, so will consumption; with increased consumption, both kiranas and modern retail will continue to grow by sharing in a larger pie. The overall expansion of the market would be much higher than the effect of the loss in share. In addition, the increased efficiencies and reduced losses due to superior cold-chain and supply-side infrastructure means that manufacturers can increase profits without squeezing retail margins as much. So, it's not a zero sum game.
As a point of comparison, modern retail in China rapidly reached about 70% market share. However, there are many structural reasons why modern retail's growth in India will be much slower. For example, in China the government owns the land, so stores are actually set up by the government at prime locations or the prime land is sold to modern retailers at a subsidized price. In India, modern retail needs to pay very high market prices to get prime locations. The high price of real estate ensures that modern retail can't undercut kiranas on price by as large a margin, even if they are overall more efficient. So, India is not going to see the same kind of store development as China even with FDI. It will probably get to 60% to 70% market share in 15 to 20 years.
Over this long period, kiranas have many ways to adjust. The more efficient among them might set up cooperatives to generate efficiencies, by piggybacking on the competitive logistic infrastructures built out by modern retail. The owners of the less efficient kiranas will ask their children to find other jobs. Notwithstanding the current glorification of the kiranas, both the owners and workers in these stores lead tough, long, hard-working days for fairly minimal income. New jobs with better working conditions that arise in the retail sector will absorb labor that might have worked in kirana stores. Over time, the role of kiranas as insurance or even a major source of income will become relatively insignificant as family members of kirana owners shift their productive capacities to more lucrative jobs.
As these retail workers grow in number, they become a significant political constituency themselves and the political capital for the new sector will become greater. Any sector that gains political capital is likely to abuse that power, so I would be cautious in being excited about the benefits from such gains by the modern retail sector. Nevertheless, there are two positives that I see in enhancing supply-chain efficiencies that are important for the collective efficiency of the country as whole. First, we may see less political resistance to helping modern retail gain efficiencies by reforming several archaic laws that restrict private sourcing of agricultural goods and limit flexibility in price setting across expensive and inexpensive areas. To be sure, these reforms should be enacted irrespective of whether modern retail takes off, but the hope is that the political constituency created through large-scale employment in modern retail might provide the political cover for the government to overcome the lobbying by vested interests that benefit from the current inefficient status quo. Similarly one hopes that a strong modern retail lobby could provide the substantial impetus to reform a local tax regime that is notorious for the impediments to movement of goods across states and cities, and thus distorts the creation of efficient supply chains across the country.
Notwithstanding the ink that has been spilt around the resistance to modern retail in India, it is useful to see a larger, global perspective. What is happening in India is a normal part of the modern retail adoption process, and India is managing the opening of its retail sector similarly to how most countries have managed it. Countries initially open retail to a domestic organized retail sector, help them build strengths, and as they become ready to work and partner with foreign companies to learn and absorb retailing technologies, the government opens up to competition from foreign countries. With the emergence of a large number of domestic modern retail chains that experimented on a variety of formats and merchandising and are confident in their superior knowledge of Indian markets, the time is reasonably ripe to allow FDI. As multinationals work with Indian companies, Indians develop retailing skills that help them improve and set up new retail chains of their own. India has given ample time to help some of these domestic retailers, and even the domestic modern retailers realize that they are at a stage where they need additional investments and additional know-how, but are confident they will learn and emerge stronger from these investments.
The Indian government's decision to let states decide whether to allow modern retail is again an approach that has been adopted in other countries. China initially allowed only seven cities, where it was clear that there was enough consumer demand, to have FDI in modern retail. As modern retail gained substantial penetration in these cities and consumers and governments began to see the benefits of modern retail, other cities and provinces began to demand FDI in their cities and provinces as well. By allowing states who want FDI in modern retail to take the lead, modern retail gets a chance to disprove its critics and show potential stakeholders such as farmers, small manufacturers, unemployed youth, and consumers the benefits it can bring. This can lead citizens in other areas to demand that their states also offer them the benefits of modern retail. This is a slower process, but one that builds the necessary level of political support and willpower for governments, especially within a democratic system.
Critics, especially those with hangovers from India's colonial past, wonder whether foreign retailers will simply repatriate profits, leaving India poorer. We should be clear: foreign knowledge is critical in modernizing India's retail sector and enhance its efficiency. There is no point in reinventing the wheel in areas where best practices are well understood. With foreign expertise on such best practices, Indian companies can learn fast and actually out-innovate the foreign companies using their more in-depth knowledge of local markets—be it in consumer tastes or the unique features of the logistics and regulatory environment in India. Of course, retail is such an integral part of every country that no country wants to hand off the entire sector to foreign companies. The bargain will always be "our markets for your knowledge," a win-win tradeoff for both India and the foreign companies. The government is right in deciding that India today has the skills, the confidence, and the mindset and is ready to make that bargain in a way that will only make India economically stronger in the long term.

Passage of time has a different story to tell.
The nay-sayers for FDI in retail, need to look at the criminal waste of almost everything due to our inefficient public distribution system, lack of storage and cold chain. It is here that their argument of "inclusive growth" falls flat on its face since in a country where there is grain and food surplus, people in their millions, starve everyday.
Every year India faces a loss of Rs 50 thousand crores worth of both perishable and non-perishable food items due to lack of skilled manpower and shortage of infrastructure, this comprises of 40 per cent of the total food produced. With estimates of poverty ranging from 30% to over 70% (an on-going debate between planning commission's and other economists on minimum desirable level of expenditure), wastage of food grains is a crime against humanity. FDI in retail will improve the existing supply chain infrastructure and skilled workforce plugging the gap between the source of produce and consumer.

English Instructors Jeanne Costello, Bridget Kominek, and Kim Orlijan
A Window into Faculty Collaboration
By Homeira Foth
Normally when one class ends and another begins, the instructor leaving and the one coming exchange very few words, maybe a "have a good class." But last spring, when Jeanne Costello's English class ended and Kim Orlijan's began, the dialogue was more substantive. Costello and Orlijan were both teaching a pilot course in accelerated developmental English, and the 10-minute gap allowed Costello quickly to fill in Orlijan on what worked that day, what didn't, and what Orlijan might want to modify. The back-to-back schedule wasn't planned, but the feedback between the two instructors is a perfect example of the successful collaboration that took place at Fullerton College last spring.
Costello and Orlijan, along with English instructors Bridget Kominek and Nadine Arndt, piloted a new accelerated version of their developmental English curriculum in Spring 2012. Fullerton's traditional sequence has three levels below transfer. In the pilot, the group took 4 sections of their existing course two levels below transfer and increased the level of academic challenge, aiming for the learning outcomes of the next level up. At the end of the term, students whose portfolios were determined to be ready could be "popped up" to the college-level course through the pre-requisite challenge process.
Fullerton is one of 30 colleges across the state participating in the California Acceleration Project's year-long faculty development program, the Community of Practice in Acceleration. In designing their class, the team drew upon CAP's emphasis on giving developmental students access to challenging, college-level tasks; providing just-in-time remediation; and supporting students' affective needs in the classroom.
Their results so far have been promising.
Because the first pilots ran in spring, we will need to wait until after Fall 2012 to get our first glimpse at how accelerated students are performing in the transfer-level course.
However, the above results are already a significant improvement over the traditional sequence: 59% of the accelerated students became eligible to enroll in the college-level course, compared to just 48% of students who began two levels below transfer in the regular sequence. What's especially striking is that the accelerated group did it in just one semester, while students on the traditional path were tracked for three years, including repeats. As Fullerton follows the accelerated group for three years, they can expect these initial gains to grow.
Costello has been an instructor at Fullerton for twenty years, teaching developmental courses every semester. She describes herself as "extremely committed to developmental education" and invested in the success of her basic skills students. For years, Costello says, she had "bought into the goals of the sequence" and the values behind having a multi-level pre-transfer English courses. However, after attending a 3CSN event in early 2010 and seeing data from accelerated pathways at other colleges, she made a turn around.
Kominek says that the idea of acceleration as an alternative could not have come at more perfect time. The college had just gone through the accreditation process and program review, and the instructors were looking closely at their student success data, which Kominek describes as "dismal." They were also concerned about the achievement gap for students of color. So when Costello proposed to the department that they look into acceleration, Kominek and others were intrigued and motivated. "It made sense," Kominek says.

Key to Success – Collaboration
"We couldn't have made it through without being so collaborative," says Costello. The four instructors spent many hours discussing and designing the pilot. In fact, the hard work began the semester prior, with three full days of planning.
The first big meeting was dedicated to the course readings. The four instructors agreed on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time as the full-length text and the basis for the theme of the class, issues of intelligence, education and disability. The book was also Fullerton College's "one book, one college" choice for last year. The course was divided into four units: "Intelligence/Education," "Developing Brain," "Perspectives on Disability" and "The Novel." The first readings in the course packet — Carol Dweck's "Brainology" and Howard Gardner's "Multiple Intelligences" – created a perfect introduction to different theories of intelligence (sample quiz). Other articles included "From Moral to Deficit-Based to Strength-Based Thinking" by Edward Hallowell and "Fit Teenage Boys Are Smarter — But Muscle Strength Isn't the Secret, Study Shows" from Science Daily.
The four instructors met a second time to come up with ideas for the unit plans and to compose essay topics. The objective of the essays was for students to synthesize and draw upon the readings to form a strong argument. A good example was the final essay of the semester, which required students to take an article they had read earlier in the semester and apply it to Christopher, the Autistic protagonist of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time — for example, applying Dweck's concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, or Hallowell's ideas of adult happiness.
At their third meeting, they finalized the unit plans and created handouts for the first few class sessions. Having the same goals in mind made these meetings highly productive, as did what Costello calls, "a really trusting attitude toward each other." If one of them recommended an article for the course reader, the others trusted it was going to work.
During the first pilot semester, the collaboration got even more intensive with meetings once a week for an hour or more. The meetings focused on how the lesson plans went, and how the students responded to the material. By mid-semester, they also began to deal more with specific students and their class behavior. As Kominek says, the meetings gave them an opportunity to say, "I don't know what to do with this student." The once-a-week meeting became a place not only to share stories but to develop ways to address issues.

There was also a daily exchange of emails and conversations, which Kominek says allowed them to make adjustments and shape the course as it went along. "We were in a constant feedback loop," says Costello. "Everything we did we shared with each other."
At the end of the term, the group met a couple more times, once to assess portfolios from each others' classes (portfolios accounted for 30% of students' grades), and once for their final de-briefing, to reflect on their experiences and make plans for the following semester.
When asked about their challenges, Costello mentions the difficulty of scheduling times to meet each week. It wasn't always easy to work around four teachers' busy schedules. Costello says, "sometimes we would just end up meeting at 5:30 at a bar somewhere" or at a local Vietnamese restaurant.
Kominek also says that at times the amount of information and feedback they got from each other was "intensive." However, she points out, "Do you want too much information to process? Or would you rather be grasping in the dark?" Kominek also says that when things did get overwhelming, they got a lot of encouragement from each other. "This was more like a support group."
Another challenge involved their reading selections. The group found that not all the readings were suitable for developmental students. Many of the articles were scholarly, written by experts for experts, and some of the vocabulary proved to be too specialized. Other readings required too much prior knowledge about the subject, and as a result, Kominek says, "it took too much class time to give students the background they needed." Over the summer the four instructors met and revised their course packet, editing out some articles and including new, related readings.
Costello also adds that at the end of the semester they agreed they needed more work on just in time remediation of things like essay organization and addressing sentence-level errors. One of the core principles of the CAP Community of Practice is that foundational skills should be taught in the context of more challenging academic tasks, rather than "front-loaded" in advance. Like many faculty new to acceleration, the Fullerton group needed to figure out how to provide this support effectively. "We were so concerned about not doing too much frontloading of instruction, I think we all felt at the end we hadn't done enough," says Costello.
The Future of Acceleration at Fullerton
In addition to the current pilots, Fullerton's English department is developing a new, permanent accelerated course one-level-below college English (English 99). The original plan was to have the course in place by Fall 2013, but the process was delayed a year, as concerns from some colleagues prompted revisions to the proposed course outline.
Both Costello and Kominek believe it's very important to have a course outline that articulates accurately and clearly what they are doing. "We want to make sure we're happy with what we're proposing," says Costello. The delay will also enable them to gather several semesters more data from their pilots. Meanwhile, they will continue to offer four sections of the pilot.
Costello, along with her cohorts, is looking forward to teaching her accelerated course again and being back in an environment where the students, even if they're labeled as developmental, embrace being challenged academically. Costello says, "When we treat them like they're actually college students and have high expectations from them, they rise to the occasion." She also adds, "They are motivated to the do work."

Nine-year-old Cecily Stevenson loves when the weather is nice outside particularly for recess, but when temperatures reach into the 90's, her mood changes.
"I get sweaty and really tired," said Stevenson.
Cecily does two important things that the San Benito County Health Department say most adults forget when they get too hot.
"I drink a lot of water and I go in the shade a lot," said Stevenson.
Right now there are no restrictions on outdoor recess activity at Central Coast schools. The San Benito and Montery County health departments and emergency services said while the next few days are going to be hot, there aren't plans to set up any emergency cooling centers.
"Right now our big concern is drought. While heat is an issue it's an issue every year. We would like the public to practice common sense; drink lots of water, and stay inside when it's too hot," said Kevin O'Neill director of San Benito County Emergency Services.
Santa Cruz County Health said it has no plans for a cooling center, but is prepared to set up a temporary one similar to San Benito County if it's ever needed.
"We do have a designated cooling center at Bolado Park that we can activate and may activate," said O'Neill.
For Stevenson there's one place she knows she can still go to exercise and beat the heat.
"I swim a lot," said Stevenson.
The health department says that's another good idea from this "cool" 9-year-old if you've got the sunscreen handy.
In nearby Morgan Hill, city officials on Tuesday announced the opening of two cooling centers.
The following locations will be offering their lobby areas to the public for use as a place to find relief from the heat.
The Centennial Recreation Center (171 W. Edmundson Ave.) and the Community and Cultural Center (1700 Monterey St.) will be open Tuesday until 10 p.m., Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The fourth edition of Medical Pharmacology presents the basic concepts and principles of drug action as related to a rational basis for therapeutics. The primary emphasis has been placed on the mode of action of drugs in terms of physiologic and biochemical systems. In addition to chapters contained in earlier editions, the author has added a chapter on disinfectants and antiseptics and a chapter dealing with contemporary drug abuse, by Dr. Gregory C. Dimijian. Several other chapters have been expanded, and the chapter covering anesthetics has been rewritten.
In keeping with the style of earlier editions, the subject matter is presented in a concise manner with a minimum of detail. Readers interested in delving further into the subjects discussed will find that the references are strongly oriented toward clinical pharmacology.
It is the expressed purpose of this book to relate pertinent pharmacologic information to medical students and practicing physicians. With

This deceptively short introduction to gastrointestinal (GI) physiology is, in reality, a complete review of GI function. The content of the monograph includes general GI functions, secretion, and absorption. Considering its brevity, the book, although it has no references, is well indexed. It succeeds in explaining physiological concepts in a clear manner with simple and original illustrations. Difficult concepts such as the intestinal countercurrent exchange mechanism are presented in a concise and dynamic graphic manner.
A unique feature is the brief summaries at the end of all chapters and a comprehensive summary in the final chapter, which can be particularly helpful to the medical and graduate student of GI physiology.
Clinical examples of GI pathophysiology are presented for each topic. They include gastric mucosal damage and acid back diffusion, ischemia of the bowel, reflux esophagitis, gastric outlet obstruction, mucosal barrier breakage, carbohydrate malabsorption, and many others. For the most part,

By Kim Tae-gyu
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — From the perspective of Chinese President Xi Jinping, the significance of the countrys relations with its neighbors South Korea and Japan might be different as shown over the G20 Summit last week.
Before the leaders of the worlds foremost 20 economies officially met, Xi had a 20-minute talk with Park, which observers say is almost tantamount to a summit.
In comparison, Xi talked less than five minutes with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the two-day summit here and apparently focused on Abes provocative actions and remarks negating the island countrys wartime misdeeds, according to reports.
The 20-minute discussions between Xi and Park, who became closer after the bilateral summit this June, were carried out in a very amiable environment, a Cheong Wa Dae official said.
For example, Park said that she was starving in Chinese and this prompted laughter from both Korean and Chinese delegates.
But the mood was quite different when Xi met Abe — the former demanded that the latter face history in an appropriate manner in a reference to Japans problematic attitude.
Park also had an encounter with Abe but hardly said anything apart from a casual greeting as the two met for the first time since their inaugurations — last December for Abe and this February for Park.
Abe, who has yet to have a summit with Xi, has requested a summit with Park, who has not responded positively yet due to Koreans negative sentiments toward him.
Japans first Prime Minister to be born after World War II has practically denied his countrys aggressive actions in Asia before and during the war, contending that the term invasion has not been defined internationally and academically.
He also defended Japanese lawmakers and senior bureaucrats, who visit the Yasukuni Shrine, which houses the remains of 14 Class-A war criminals.
Abe has also spearheaded the countrys efforts to claim sovereignty of Koreas easternmost Dokdo Islets, which currently have armed police stationed there.
Abe also angered the Chinese by maintaining a hard-line stance over the Senkaku Islands.
Such approaches have helped Abe win great domestic popularity, thus helping him win elections; but has generated anger in Korea and Chins as the two were direct victims of imperial Japan.
Japan occupied Korea from 1910 through 1945.
Under Abes stewardship, however, Japan has not acknowledge its wrongdoing including sex slave issues.
On Friday Park asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to work with her to resolve the North Korean nuclear standoff and push for such ambitious joint projects as linking railways of the two nations via the North.
Park and Putin met after they and other leaders of the worlds top 20 advanced and emerging economies wrapped up two days of discussions in Russias second-largest city.
Park hailed the progress in relations between Seoul and Moscow since they opened diplomatic relations in 1990. "I hope we can work together to resolve the issue and upgrade relations between the two countries," she said.
Park also said that one of her foreign policy priorities is to strengthen relations with Eurasian nations. She also expressed hopes for realizing a long-discussed ambitious project to link railways of the two sides via North Korea and through to Europe.
"I personally have dreamed of a railway going from Busan through to Europe via Russia," Park said. "That is why I mentioned it many times in my speeches. I have been interested in that for a long time."

Second White Nationalist Writing for Dow Jones' MarketWatch
Submitted by Josh Glasstetter on Friday, 4/13/2012 2:55 pm
This has been a bad week for white nationalists at National Review – John Derbyshire was fired over the weekend and Robert Weissberg was fired on Wednesday. Both men were also contributors at VDARE, the white nationalist website run by Peter Brimelow, who moonlights at Dow Jones' MarketWatch when he isn't calling for end to immigration or promoting racial theories about genetic inferiority.
Brimelow is already rallying to the defense of Derbyshire and Weissberg, but with any luck he'll be able to land them jobs at MarketWatch like he did another of his white nationalist collaborators – Edwin Rubenstein. Rubenstein, an economic consultant, is a frequent contributor to MarketWatch and VDARE. He also provides research and analysis for the National Policy Institute, which was founded in 2005 to "elevate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights." Here's NPI's "about" page:
Rubenstein's writing at VDARE seems to focus on three themes:
- Americans (i.e. European whites) are on the verge of losing their country if they don't take drastic steps to stop immigration
- Education and affirmative action won't help blacks and Hispanics because they can't, or won't, improve and assimilate
- Not only are blue collar whites getting crushed by immigration, but so are white professionals, including doctors and PHDs in the sciences
This partial archive of Rubenstein's writing for MarketWatch, which he does in conjunction with Brimelow, shows that he's been working for them since 2003. That's also when he began writing for VDARE.
MarketWatch, part of News Corporation's Dow Jones division, has thus far refused to comment on why they employ a disgraced white nationalist leader who was fired back in 1998 from the right-wing National Review over his racist views and writing. Now it turns out that they employ not one – but two – prominent white nationalists. They have some explaining to do.
I've collected some of Rubenstein's greatest hits on VDARE. Since the entire site has been temporarily given over to a fundraising appeal by Brimelow, I'll instead link to Google cache versions of the articles:
- Diversity Is Strength. It's Also Car Theft.
- Immigration Moratorium Could Save Historic American Majority
- Whites Lose Ground to Blacks, Hispanics—Americans Lose Ground To Everyone
- Legal Immigration—The Bigger Problem
- "Everyone is against illegal immigration (they say). Problem: legal immigration is actually the bigger problem."
- Bad News About Those South Asian Model Immigrants
- "Most of this cohort end up with dead end jobs—running cheap motels, small neighborhood stores, marginal gas stations, or taxi-driving."
- Affirmative Action, Immigration, Curing America Of White Doctors
- "At the end of the day, not just affirmative action but also immigration policy is on the way to curing America of white doctors."
- Hispanic Immigrants are Dangerous To Workplace Safety
- "Over the years, billions have been spent teaching English to Hispanic immigrants. Yet, as we point out in an earlier article, the share of Hispanic immigrants that is "linguistically isolated," i.e., speak English poorly or not at all, is increasing. Even simple English language instructions are incomprehensible to the "linguistically isolated."
- Children, Grandchildren Of Mexican Immigrants Fail To Close The Education Gap
- U.S PhDs Have It Tough Enough Without Importing Immigrants
- "Move over computer programmers. Medical doctors are also alleged to be in 'short supply' these days. Meaning that we must import them from abroad—right? Wrong."
- Immigrant Doctors Aren't Necessary Either
- Hispanic Family Values?
- The Next Big Headline: Most Births Minority in 2011.
- Cuban Immigration and the Myth of Miami
- "Even immigration skeptics rarely challenge the role of Cuban immigrants in reviving Miami's economic fortunes."
- Why More Immigrant Science, Technology, Engineering, Math Graduates When So Many American STEM Graduates Are Unemployed?

text: Classy and modern, this look isn't particularly groundbreaking. It doesn't require pounds of accessories or a very specific wash of denim. For one, it includes the perennial striped tee, which has been a wardrobe staple for as long as we can remember. Trendy but not too trendy, a full skirt and crop top is a fool-proof pairing for the upcoming season and here's proof - these style bloggers have all been sporting the outfit already.

Implicated in a variety of power relations that reinforce its presence on the global stage as an economic and political force, the European Union (EU) faces new challenges that it must address and resolve if it is to continue to be relevant. As the EU institutionalizes and extends its authority within one domain, new contingencies surface somewhere else and question this new found capacity to govern. This conference aims to create an interdisciplinary arena that will foster meaningful exchanges, at once theoretical, epistemological, and empirical, to interrogate this process of maturation.
The Young Researcher's Network (YRN), working in conjunction with the European Community Studies Association-Canada (ECSA-C), is organizing a series of panels for graduate students and young scholars (up to five years after their PhD) at the 7th Biennial ECSA-C Conference in Edmonton, Alberta. The intention is to stimulate an exchange between future leaders in the field of European Studies through a mentorship programme that connects junior academics with senior scholars in their field of expertise.
The themes for these panels are:
1) New Foreign Policy Challenges and Canada-EU relations
2) Canadian and European Approaches to International Economic Relation
3) Social Policies and Labour Markets in Canada and Europe
4) Immigration, Citizenship, and Multiculturalism
5) Governance in the European Union
6) Enlargement, Neighbourhood policies, and Nationalism.
Interested young scholars are invited to submit a paper proposal (250-500 words) by April 7, 2008to Daniel Preece at firstname.lastname@example.com. Contributions are welcome in either French or English, and submissions should include a short bio with affiliation and detailed contact information (including email address). In addition, papers presented at these panels will be considered for publication in the Review of European and Russia Affairs (www.europeanandrussianaffairs.com). Paper proposals may be considered after the deadline if space is still available.
Travel and accommodation costs for participation at this conference may be partly covered, depending upon an EU grant administered through ECSA-C. Invited participants who would like to apply for travel grants can contact the YRN office for more information.
All papers and essays will be peer-reviewed on the basis of scholarship, quality of research and relevance to the research themes. A committee of senior and junior scholars will select the best papers and will invite those selected to participate in the conference.
