How Do You Find the Next Property Investment Hot Spot?
The science of property investing
The Recent Real Estate Landscape
If the residential property market in Australia has been heated in recent times, then Sydney has been a wild, all-consuming bush fire, reaching new and unheard of temperatures.
CoreLogic RP Data Head of Research Tim Lawless asserts that in the 12 months to July 2015, capital gains in Sydney increased more than 18.4 per cent - the largest annual rate of growth for Sydney in more than 13 years.
Now just sit back and think. Imagine if you had bought a property in Sydney before the boom? Let's say you bought a house for $600,000 in June 2014. Just one year later you'd be lounging by the pool, martini in one hand and around $110,000 of capital gains in the other.
Proving that spring is widely considered to be the selling season, September 2015 saw an influx of new listings on the market, according to CoreLogic RP Data. The increase of supply resulted in home values in Sydney effectively flat-lining for the month, posting growth of just 0.1 per cent. Meanwhile, auction clearance rates have fallen to a low 70 per cent range.
"Vendors are still enjoying strong selling conditions, but it looks like buyers are slowly regaining some leverage in what has been a very hot market," said Mr Lawless.
So, given that the heat appears to be dissipating (somewhat), how do you find the next property hot spot?
Hit the Books
Property investment is not a game like wheel of fortune where you place your bets on a spin and hope for the best. To gain a proper understanding, it takes extensive research into the various markets within markets.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) recommends looking into various statistics like:
- The median price: Not just the current figure, but also how it has fared over the previous 12 months. Also, how does it compare to surrounding suburbs? An area that is significantly cheaper than its neighbours can indicate imminent growth.
- Recent sales: Studying the most recent transactions will give you the most up-to-date information on prices in the area.
- Vacancy rates: High vacancy rates can indicate a less desirable area, which could make it harder to find tenants and to sell in the future
- Future changes: If there are any scheduled or proposed developments in the area, you need to know about them. A new school or refurbished amenities could be beneficial to the area's value, for instance, while rezoning or commercial construction could be harmful.
- Expert opinions: There are a number of professionals that offer tips on up-and-coming suburbs via blogs and market reports. Just be wary of any potential biases they might have.
Hit the Pavement
While this can all be achieved from the comfort of your computer chair, ASIC discourages investing in a market that you're unfamiliar with.
Therefore, you should wear out some of your shoe leather and view the suburb in person. By walking through the area and attending a few open homes, you will be able to get an idea of the people that live there and what the properties are like.
Furthermore, you will be able to determine the proximity to nearby amenities.
For example, figures from Roy Morgan Research have divulged that the number of households in Australia without a car is on the rise. In March 2011 the number of young couple households who didn't have a car was 6.4 per cent - in just four years this has surged to 11.3 per cent. This highlights the importance of having easy access to public transport.
It is equally important to consider suburbs that are within the zones of high-performing schools. The 2011 Census revealed that more than 71 per cent of households are families, which means it would make sense to make a property investment in an area that will appeal to the vast majority of Australians!

oo mann i hope TT and sweet dont become knicks killers in the future.. cuz i can imagine Sweets bulking up and becoming a monster in the post.
Have the Knicks been on paid vacation for the past few years?
After seeing new Bulls Tim Thomas and Michael Sweetney practice for a few days, Chicago coach Scott Skiles said: "The thing that's been very evident is how hard our guys play compared to guys from other programs. Sometimes when we pick up other guys or sign another guy in the middle of the season or something, they're caught a little off guard by how we do it."
Coincidentally, one of the knocks on new Knick Eddy Curry is that he didn't work hard enough in Chicago. Curry said Monday that he was committed to changing his work habits.

Quuuuuuuentinnn Richarddsonnn
I guess it makes sense tho theyre going from a program used to losing to one coming up thats getting used to winning and wants to keep doing that. Theres bound to be some difference in the expectation on the player.
more importantly though, I agree with flipfaction. I can imagine him cintinuing becoming a killer down low like Mason or even Oakley. Who knows. We'll see. What's this, his third year? Hes 22. And Timmy has talent. If he uses it as he had on and off, the Bulls will be glad they have him
if ur talkin bout sweets he is about 25-26 not 22
nah Jabolo is right. Sweetney is 22 i believe he turns 23 in 12 days.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
didnt he come out sophomore year of college 3 years ago....19 or 20 + 3 = 22 or 23

Pragmatist Democracy: Evolutionary Learning as Public Philosophyby Christopher Ansell
View All Available Formats & Editions
Barack Obama is often lauded as a 'pragmatist,' yet when most people employ the term, they mean it in the vaguest sense: that he's practical and willing to compromise to get things done. However, the public philosophy of pragmatism, which has been the subject of a rich revival in the past couple of decades, is far more than this. First developed in the late
Barack Obama is often lauded as a 'pragmatist,' yet when most people employ the term, they mean it in the vaguest sense: that he's practical and willing to compromise to get things done. However, the public philosophy of pragmatism, which has been the subject of a rich revival in the past couple of decades, is far more than this. First developed in the late nineteenth century, pragmatism is primarily a way of thinkingan anti-dualist philosophy that attempts to overcome the dichotomies between self and object, nature and culture, mind and body, theory and practice, and fact and value. When applied to governance, pragmatists advocate the use of tactics like third party mediation and problem-solving to achieve anti-dualist principles: cosmopolitan localism, analytical holism, progressive conservatism, and processual structuralism.
In Pragmatist Governance, Chris Ansell begins with a theory of the concept and then explains why the approach is ideal for addressing today's governance problems. For instance, while many think that bureaucracy's unchecked growth is the fundamental problem facing democracy today, pragmatism suggests the opposite: that public agencies can effectively manage the relationship between governance and democracy if they focus on building consent for public problem-solving. Ansell argues that wishing away bureaucracy will not do given what we know about the indispensible role of institutions in contemporary governance. Utilizing pragmatist concepts, Ansell rethinks the design of institutions, arguing that they are neither the simple products of rational design that can be endlessly tinkered with nor 'congealed taste'where institutions represent the timeless customs and values of a people. Along with overcoming this dualism, Ansell also challenges us to rethink our approach to governance. Instead of moving from one extreme to the otherfrom bureaucracy to 'post-bureaucracy' or 'public entrepreneurialism'pragmatism would not merely seek to replace one (hierarchical bureaucracy) with the other (a 'flat,' entrepreneurial organization), but rather to hitch the two approaches together in an innovative amalgam where organizational leaders constantly interact with and learn from street-level bureaucrats.
Pragmatist Governance concludes that if government is to regain public trust, the technical knowledge of experts must be brought together with sensitivity to local problems, situations, and knowledge. The answer lies not, however, in a diminished bureaucracy. That may only deepen distrust. Rather, the emphasis should be on taking the best of both sides to find innovative and effective ways to solve enduring public problems.

Geschmackvoll eingerichtet, wunderschön gelegen, perfekt friedlich, mitten im Herzen von Paris.
Berühmten Restaurants, Luxus-Boutiquen, Pariser Cafés, Kunstgalerien und Museen, alles vor der Haustür.
This apartment is Paris. The 6th arrondissment is filled with Parisian charm and beauty. We were at home the moment Justine unlocked the door to the apartment. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable as well as efficient. Nicole has seen to every detail of luxury. We stayed for 2 weeks and soaked up Paris as much as possible. We walked, rode the bus, and took the Metro easily and despite eating pastries everyday, we lost weight. Thank you Nicole and Justine for making our vacation a heavenly delight.
This apartment was a beautiful place to stay in Paris. Everything was perfect and our greeter Justine was very welcoming and helpful. Located in a fabulous part of Paris this apartment was an ideal location to visit so many attractions that Paris has to offer. The bus is right outside the door and the Metro on the corner. There are many fabulous cafes within walking distance, as well as Markets located close by. Our stay was extremely enjoyable indeed thanks to all the special touches provided by the owner Nicole. Highly recommended.
The apartment is well maintained. There is everything that you will need. The owner has added many small touches that adds to the comfort of the stay. The beds are very comfortable, and there are plenty of kitchen accessories.
Highly recommend this apartment.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely apartment in a great neighborhood.
My husband and I, along with our 16 yr old son spent a fabulous 6 days in this beautiful and elegant apartment in Dec'14. If you're browsing the VRBO site, please stop and check it out, you won't be disappointed. It was by far our best choice during our trip to Europe. The building is located on a busy shopping street in St Germain Des Pres, however the apartment itself faces onto a quiet street, thus no trouble with noise.
The furnishings and decor are very classic french. There is a great modern kitchen, complete with washing machine that was used daily. The heated towel rail and excellent shower was very much appreciated in the December weather!
The owner obviously cares about the guests who stay here and very thoughtfully provides a welcome pack consisting of fresh baguette, cheese, ham, fruit, yogurt along with orange juice and water and not to forget the beautiful macaroons - this was very welcomed after a long flight. We were also met at the apartment by Olivier who showed us around and explained how things work. He also secured a taxi for our return trip to the airport. Communication with the owner was also very easy via email.
There are plenty of restaurants, bistros and patisseries close by and as many reviewers have stated, Pizza Chic around the corner is worth a visit. Many of the attractions are within walking distance, although the metro station is one block away from the apartment.
We would definitely return to this wonderful apartment again on our next trip to Paris and would highly recommend it to friends and family.
Our daughter, her husband and their 6 month old baby joined my husband and me in Paris to celebrate the New Year. We were pleasantly surprised to see a crib already set up in the larger of the two bedrooms, bread, fruit, cheese, and other food stuffs in the kitchen, and pristine linens in well-appointed bedrooms and bath. Within short walks in any direction lovely little shops as well Le Bon Marche and La Grande Epicerie provided us with all we needed or wanted. We ate at Les Cocottes and Oenostria as well as the more local brasseries. We most enjoyed walking the neighborhood. And toasting in the New Year in the cozy living room with friends and family made our New Year special. Thank you.

Luke Cummo wants to reform MMA – no head contact
Luke Cummo recently posted a vlog in his YouTube channel that is a little unusual, even for the often unusual Cummo.
In short, he wants to remake MMA into an event called the League of Assassins, taking out head striking, among other changes.
"It's called MMA but it's very dangerous," said Cummo. "Trust me. I've been there. It's damaging – to children… As a parent, I would never recommend fighting for somebody's baby. It's a mindless, stupid industry profiting from the spilled blood of the innocent, honest to god."
"You have to put on gloves… but then you're gonna kick and you're gonna knee and you're gonna elbow the other guy – somebody's baby. There's no padding on those things… and that's another living being over there, a precious life. I feel for you as a soldier. I used to be one. You're not a stupid beast. Nobody is. You're not a programmable killing machine. You are, still, now and for all time, your parent's baby to be cherished and nourished, not to kill or be killed. That's old school, we're cutting edge over here."
"It's called Against the Cage and we are reforming the current system of martial arts practice to be more safe and enjoyable for all ages and experience levels because your practice over here… it could be fun, it could be really fun, seriously. But up to this moment you could've been locked in a cage, unfortunately, and taught that it's OK to hurt someone else – or worse. But it's not. You're a living being and your life is worth far more, far, far more than what has been acceptable in the past in this promoted live-hard, die fast lifestyle. No. We're going to live long and prosper, baby!"
"Getting punched in the head is not healthy, trust me. I did it for years and I'm messed up because of it. That's why I'm telling you, it's for everybody's best interest. Don't let those babies do MMA. If they are, if you're dead set on practicing martial arts which I think could be a beautiful thing, what I do is called the League of Assassins…We don't do knockouts, that's silly. Why would you want to do that? Then it's game over. Don't break any bones, that's not good either.
"When we do our training in the league, we say it's only one league, all one. And we're doing it together; we don't want to hurt anyone. We want to build up value. And every time you do a technique, you get more value and we can rank up. In this league, there's some mythical beasts instead of belts. It's a whole system."
After this, Cummo's videos get a little weird…

I made this tonight using chicken tenders and added them to the rice at the end with the peppers and peas. I think I'll use more cayenne next time.
This dish was SO easy! (I was even able to make it one night for supper when I was sick!) The only change I made was I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and baked them first. This is a beautiful, delicious, super easy one-dish-meal. I had just viewed a paella show on Food Network, and this dish looked much better than theirs did! I cannot imagine anyone not really enjoying it!
UPDATE: None of us eat meat now, and I am thrilled to say that my children are all making this with Quorn!(a substitute chicken product that is awesome) They are all just loving this!
I have been using your recipe for years now and realized I have never rated it! Sorry Sunny! Love it and have modified it in many ways in the past. Used sausages and seafood added chili powder and cayenne and called it Jambalaya once :) I'm sneaky.

It got worse
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Well hubby walked out on me and the girls... All I can say is I am very lost and broken and feeling like a failure. My youngest daughter and I over heard him on the phone with another women. (he thought we were out of the house). It was awful. I am just really torn apart and most days feel like I can hardly breathe or stand. The tears just keep coming on and and off and I am overwhelmed and not even sure how I am going to get through financially and emotionally. I am trying to be strong for my girls, but it is difficult. I know they need me and I will do my very best to shield them from my brokeness. yes they do see my crying. Maybe one day those tears will go away. I wish I could control the tears. Some say it gets easier, I really don't see anything getting easier, only harder...... I really have no clue how some women stay so strong.

My Dear Sunshine,
I can't begin to tell you how deep my understanding and feelings go for you right now.
Honey, I have been there too. Be strong. (Thats why I changed my name to Ka- Taki-tomotsin, which means be strong in blackfoot). I went thru it at about the same age as you. Im nearly 70 now...and the best things I can say to you, are get help from a really good counselor. I had one for $5.00 per session thru Family Services. It really helped. It was so hard on my girls too, but they made it through and two of the three are much stonger from what they learned by it.
Sunshine I really like what Crickett wrote. I would like to add to it by saying, "AND THIS TO WILL PASS" and "GOD NEVER GIVES US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE". You are a strong woman, this is not your fault I am willing to say. Men go thru menopause just like women, and there lives at 40ish are not very secure sometimes. Especially with him loosing his job. STAY STRONG! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE YOUR HAPPINESS AWAY. HOW YOU FEEL IS UP TO YOU. IF YOU HAVE TO, GET MAD!
All my love and prayers are with you. Please feel free to email me anythime. I am here for you.

You will survive this , my daughter went through the same thing, she had been married less than 2 years with a 1 year old baby, he left for another woman, she was devastated, but she got through it, she had myself and her father for support, she was not working, and had only ever worked part time, he wanted her to be home, then he wanted her to have a baby,when she was about 4 months pregnant he telephoned her to say he did not love her anymore, and he left 2 times before the final break-up. then he left for good, she was 21 years old. Now, she owns her own hair salon, is engaged to be married and my grandson is just the bees knees, I know you have been married longer, but you will survive, my heart goes out to you, talk to someone, parents, close friend, church, crying is allowed it bathes your heart and soul. Take care of yourself and your girls. Things will get better.

Hi, praying for you. My friend went through the same thing thirteen years ago. She found a wonderful Christian Lawyer. It took her many years, some on disability, to get herself together and now she has a good job and her girls are fine. Do get a lawyer. Your husband is not thinking straight and you want to know, if there is a payout that you will have you and your children looked after. Legally payments can be taken right from his paycheck. I think you're right in that this is the easy way for him... no responsibilities. Keep a journal of what he is doing. If there is hope for the two of you Sue Johnson is an incredible couplestherapist and has written several books. However it only works if both people want to try and make it work. In the meantime breath. Drink water. Drink green tea. Walk. Find a good friend to hug you. Cry all you need to. I'm sure you have had some really good years. Those are yours. No one can take them from you. The future is unknown but can never happen unless we get through today.

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. I went through a divorce with two children in the last 2 years. It is very hard and emotionally draining. The good news is that is does get better just take it one day at a time. One way I was able to keep it together for my children was to journal after they went to bed or before they awoke. I would write whatever I felt and would release all of the emotion I had restrained throughout the day. I have one other bit of advice...keep reassuring the kids that it is not about them that it is about you and your husband and please try to keep the heated conversations away from them. Those children are a little piece of both of you and even though they may be angry with one or both of you now, they still love you both and need the love and support you both offer. Most of all...respect yourself and find that inner strength...you have it in you. You will get through this...one day at a time.

I'm very sorry. I went through something similar and lets just say well....I took the time I needed to put myself back together. Everyday 10 minutes of silence. In a room or favorite part of my house. I would sit there and practice my breathing. Making sure that I breathed in and out. Because after all I was going through I would forget to breath sometimes or at least that's what it felt like. The tears came and went whenever they wanted to and the memories well were always there. Although it occurred to me one day, if I allow myself to be nothing and if I honestly believed I was nothing than that's what I was. Therefore my advice to you is to remember that you are someone worth loving, you are a Mom with the biggest heart. You are someone who must take time to yourself until this cloud moves over. Stretch and workout as you would normally, it will help with the stress. Keep an open mind and remember God loves you!

raised estimates for FOSL 2nd quarter EPS to
$0.41 as per Zacks portfolio update service. This makes
it above the highest analyst estimate of $0.40 for
2nd quarter currently listed on the YAHOO! research
Of course, most of us Fossil bull-lites are
expecting a good bit more than this; but it never hurts to
see the ramping up of expeectations from the
so-called pros.
P.S. Hey crzyweasle, good call on
the price even if you were five trading days late.
Will, I noticed that it seemed quite resilient
when the
market went down compared to other
stocks. And, today,
it seems to be picking up a lot
more of the money flowing
into the small and
mid-caps than others.
My broker says the only
reason this isn't selling at
$60 today is that the
story is a bit mundane --
you know, just a watch
company, not a glamour market,
doesn't have "dot com"
after it's name, blah, blah. But, now, she says her
customers eyes are widening after the huge runup and they
all want to get in at a good price. She found lots of
interest here in the high 40's. I suppose there is
appealing about the low, low price of $49.95 versus
It may take a little more time for others to
this is not a fad, but is already an established
brand. Some
might think watches are mundane, but the
profits are anything
Just announced this morning ...
I usually do not say anything like this on a
message board; but I feel like we have a nice little clan
of long-time Fossil folks (especially you Jeff) who
have been through the volatile gyrations of this
company's stock.
My message: I seldom get such
strong buy signals as I am getting on Fossil currently.
Intuitively, I felt it is considerably oversold, but has
maintained its important support levels in the teeth of a
terrible market. After looking at the TA, here's where I
see FOSL:
Bollinger Bands at 18, tightening up
for a strong move one way or the other. (My bet's on
up, obviously). Stochastics are at 18, displaying
oversold condition. RSI in a bit of distress at 43, but a
good couple of days will take care of that. The
candlesticks are displaying strong reversal signals.
Another factor, the US jumped in and bought dollars today
in order to strengthen the dollar vs. the yen for
the Bank of Japan. FOSL does not like it when the
dollar gets weak against the yen. This move by the US
(as a proxy for BOJ)shows that the BOJ is still
determined to interevene in this currency
Anyhow, the only disturbing thing has been the
institutional selling over the past week; but it appears to
have cooled off in volume the past two days. Besides,
I believe it was profit-taking pure and
I agree with you crzyweasle about not getting one's
portfolio overweighted in any one equity; but I had
lightened up my FOSL position considerably last week; and I
will begin accumulating tomorrow.
Well, we all know we could have sold at $53 3/8
and bought back in here:)) My paper gain right now is
70% since Feb, so I'm
not whining.
I have
to agree with you guys that this loooks like a
buying opportunity. I think we'll see a bunch more hop
on for the trip to $60 pretty soon. If I didn't have
so much tied up in this
one stock, I would buy
some more now. I have to maintain my
discipline about not being more than 10% in any one
though. If I didn't do that, well, I wouldn't be
in anything.
My only regret is not
maintaining some WCII :)) Oh, well . . .
We sure have bumped around as of late. A few
weeks ago, we hit an intraday low of 43+, then a week
or so later, we were up to 54 7/8! Now we've fallen
over 10% from that high.
Crzy: I sure hope we
don't fall below 40! At least, we do seem to be
bouncing off of intraday lows in the last few days,
although we've set new immediate-term lows each of these
Earnings out in about 3 weeks ...
friendly family-style message board of
yester-month, it's kind of fun to have the ol' Fossil site
Many thanks to 'investortravel' (aka
sabrinatogo) that irrepressible world-class, world-gallopin'
stock-picker extraordinaire for keep us laughing.
crzyweasle, et al: Just dropping in to add some encouragement
after thet latest price moves. My take: profit-taking
by some of the institutional holders as they are
getting a bit of cold feet in the current market
environment. Also, it is not good for FOSL when the yen
strengthens vs. the dollar.
That being said, I like
the looks of the candlestick from today; and I
consider 46 or so to be our first line of support. If we
close below 45, however, we might need to regroup
around 38/39. I don't think this will occur; and I
personally consider this to be a great spot to pick up some
more FOSL.
Good luck, folks.
You are an idiot. (I know... I have a firm grasp
of the obvious)
Why don't you help us "dumb
ones" by listing your top 5 holdings and we will track
your remarkable performance relative to our plummet
with FOSL to 25.
I can't seem to teach any tricks to these dumb ones!
FOSL will be at $25 or lower soon! I'll be laughing at all of you!
I would like to see the price at a more marketable level some time soon---anyone think they might be pondering the same issue at corporate??
Sudden drop---not to worry----lets all keep our fingers crossed for the earning report!! Let the skeptics sell---go fosl go

Webster Hall has a very long history as a gathering place for over a hundred years. Large open ballroom is where I have seen most concerts, and they do host a great variety of acts. Have seen bands including Ghost, The Ting Tings, and Nevermore. They also have a smaller venue downstairs, that hosts probably 200 people. Very intimate evening at this location. They also have a bar attached to the venue.
Awkward set up and the crowd felt fratty (not my thing). I saw a show on their main stage and it was set up in such a way that only 10% of the people could actually see. There was a lot of columns and equipment in the way. I wouldn't want to go back here.

Whitman College Alumni Board
Kirsten Adams Gable '01, President, graduated from Whitman College in 2001. She majored in Biology, minored in Environmental Studies and received her MBA at Gonzaga in 2010. Kirsten has worked as a Management Consultant at Sapere Consultant for the past ten years. Their areas of expertise include business process improvement, organizational strategy, project planning and management, product strategy and development, and regulatory and policy analysis. Her work supports clients in the energy and natural resources sector. Clients range from large government entities to smaller local utilities. In addition, she heads Sapere's Recruiting Committee.
Kirsten is married to Brent Gable (University of Idaho). They have two daughters.
Kirsten and Brent support the First Harvest Food Bank and the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery. They also take advantage of the many outdoor activities the Spokane area has to offer (hiking, beautiful city parks, skiing, camping). Prior to moving to Spokane, she was a volunteer for Share Vancouver, a non-profit that provides shelter, food, and emergency services, in addition to annual summer camps for disadvantaged youth. She also enjoys participating in Bloomsday and other local charity runs.
Kirsten said that it is hard to define one Whitman memory as a favorite, but rather the entire experience was fulfilling. The excellent professors (Professors Drabek and Carson in particular) taught her to always be intellectually curious and to actively seek out learning opportunities. The many late nights spent in the library taught her about the value of time management, thought hanging out in the library late at night often lead to great conversations with friends. Winning blue shirts for intramural flag football was a highlight (go Kappa!). Kirsten thinks mostly what she thinks of fondly when she reminisces about Whitman, was that it was a time in her life when she was surrounded by good friends who were always more than willing to embark on adventures together, whether it was a drive into the wheat fields or a decision to study abroad for the semester. The feeling of community at Whitman was strong and she is happy to be a member.
Kirsten's time at Whitman helped to shape her into the person she is today and she will always be grateful for the wonderful experiences she was able to enjoy. Volunteering for Whitman as a member of the Portland and Spokane Alumni Clubs and now as an Alumni Association Board member presents her with the opportunity to give back to the College and to the Whitman community. It also allows Kirsten to continue her Whitman experience, which she finds invaluable.
She is excited to begin her term on the Alumni Association Board and is looking forward to working with alumni to ensure their thoughts and opinions are heard and communicated to the College.
A 30-year veteran of public relations, Mary Deming Barber '78 , Vice President, is president and CEO of The Barber Group, a strategic communications and public relations firm in Anchorage, a firm she founded in June of 2000. Most recently, Mary worked with the Alaska Community Foundation help create a strategic communications plan and establish guidelines for the organization's branding and communications. She was instrumental in the creation of Anchorage's July 4th Celebration. She is adept at communicating with Alaska's unique population groups, especially Alaska Native peoples and has extensive experience in food public relations. Mary spent her professional career in Portland, Denver and San Francisco before moving to Anchorage in 1991. She received a Silver Anvil award for work with the Beef Industry Council at Ketchum Public Relations in San Francisco. Between 1978 and 1991, Mary worked with a variety of food groups representing beef, sheep, seafood, raisins, potatoes and prunes. Taking a break from food public relations and keeping a promise made to a US Senator, Mary also coordinated the volunteer efforts for his successful statewide political campaign.
Barber is currently the secretary/treasurer of the Public Relations Society of America College of Fellows. She recently completed a four-year term on the Society's Board of Directors, including service as the 2008 secretary and member of the PRSA Foundation's Board of Trustees.

She's been president of both the Ad2 Division of the American Advertising Federation and the International Foodservice Editorial Council.
An avid community volunteer, Mary served on the board of directors for the United Way of Anchorage for nine years. During her tenure, she established communication tools so the Board of Directors was aware of staff activities, and served as leader of a community-wide committee to identify Anchorage's strengths and weaknesses with a goal of building a better city in the long run. Mary also served as chair of the marketing and communications committee for several years where she spearheaded a re-branding effort for the organization.
Unable to say "no" to a cause in which she believes, Mary offers assistance to a number of other organizations. Most recently, she joined the Whitman College Alumni Board, continuing more than 30 years of service to her alma mater. She is well known in Anchorage for her flower garden so it's no wonder she also offers public relations advice to the fledgling Alaska Botanical Garden.
Mary's husband (Alan) completed 30 years of service in the Alaska Air National Guard and retired as commander of the Maintenance Group. He now works in business development for an Alaska Native corporation. They have two active sons, meaning Mary is intimately involved in all the boys' activities.

As a student, Matt majored in Politics and dedicated most of his energy to ASWC – he served as a Senator, two-term Finance Chair and President – in addition to the college Governing Board, KWCW, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Green Dot and the Green Park Elementary Mentor Program.

After graduating from Whitman as a history major, Thomas W. Henderson '83, obtained his law degree from the University of Denver and joined the Denver law firm now known as Burg Simpson, where Tom became a shareholder in 1994. Tom credits his acting classes with Jack Freimann and his speech class with Bob Withycombe for giving him the confidence to become the successful trial lawyer he is today, and credits all the papers he wrote as a history major for helping him develop the skills necessary for legal brief writing. It is these lifetime skills, learned at Whitman, that motivate Tom to always be looking for ways to "give back" to the school, including serving for many years as a class representative, and now joining the Alumni Board.
Tom was a member and officer of Beta Theta Pi while at Whitman, and also played on the tennis team, earning a varsity letter his senior year. Another Whittie, Beth Bright Snare '83, introduced Tom to her best friend Tracy (University of Colorado, Boulder, '83) while Tom was in law school in Denver, and they married in 1988. Their two boys, Tommy and Danny, chose to stay close to home and follow their mom's foot steps to Boulder, where Tommy is now a senior, and Danny a freshman. As a family, they love to travel, ski and hike in the Rockies.
Tom enjoys his work for Burg Simpson as a trial lawyer. Tom's work focusses on suing insurance companies for bad faith when they fail to pay the benefits owed under the policy. His firm has now grown to over 40 attorneys over 4 states, with the Colorado office in Englewood (a Denver suburb) remaining the home office. Burg Simpson focusses on representing inured persons in the fields of consumer rights, personal injury, construction defect, workers compensation and commercial litigation.
Tom is a director of the Arapahoe County Bar Association. Tom also is the co-chair of the Access to Justice Committee for the 18th Judicial District of Colorado, helping keep the courthouse doors open to litigants who cannot afford to pay for legal representation.
When not working, skiing or hiking with his family, Tom enjoys golf, as well as his weekly volleyball league with Craig Kelly '83. Tom also looks forward to the annual "boys weekend" ski trips with a group of Whitman buddies – where our minds tells us we're still back in our 20's in Walla Walla, but our bodies scream NO, you're in your 50's and you are not invincible!

It will be especially rewarding to think I might be serving future alumni so that, over the years, they could profit from their Whitman experience the way Karen and I have."
Dr. Nick Paslidis '82, chief medical officer of an Arizona hospital, earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Whitman, then a medical degree and a doctorate before beginning his career as a physician in a rural health-care setting in Little Rock, Arkansas.

In 2006, he became CEO/president of the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care, and later moved his family to Arizona for his current position. Paslidis volunteers with an agency that provides free health care to the uninsured and underinsured, and is involved with the sports activities of his and wife Sarah's three children, Alexandra, Abigail, and Yiannis. His hobbies include playing tennis and racquetball, traveling and reading. "My studies at Whitman prepared me for life and helped to form my career goals. I am pleased to be able to volunteer my time to assist the college with new projects and with innovative ideas for the students and alumni in order for them to continue their cohesive relationship with Whitman."

This past year, she co-chaired The Links Inc./Junior League Mother's Day Project, which supplied more than 1,500 baskets of personal items to women's shelters in the Greater Seattle area. Salaguinto has served Whitman as a class representative, reunion chair and alumni admission representative. She enjoys spending time with her family, scrapbooking and travel, and looks forward to serving on the alumni board and sharing enthusiasm for Whitman with other alumni and prospective students.

When most people start a diet, they focus on the numbers that appear on the scale, but Colleen Fields had a different sort of goal in mind, her dress size. In January 2010, Colleen weighed 304 pounds and wore a size 26 W. Her goal was to shed enough weight so that she could wear a size 12 by her 40th birthday. She knew she had just under two years to make it happen.
As a child, Colleen remembers being "chubby," but says her real struggle with weight didn't occur until after she had her second child. She gained 75 pounds with her son and never shed the extra weight. Then, a divorce and the demands of being a single parent caused her to gain even more.
Colleen explains, "I had a terrible marriage that left me with significant self-esteem issues. I left him shortly after my son was born and I poured myself into my kids (I also have a daughter, same father, who is three years older). I went back to school, I worked full-time, and I shuttled them to all of the normal kid activities – Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, gymnastics, baseball, soccer, dance, swimming, etc. I wanted to give them as much of a normal childhood as possible despite the fact that their father was not involved in their lives, and in the process I ignored myself. I would leave work, pick them up from day care, take them to their activities, grab fast food, get home and do homework, then put them to bed and I would do my own homework. There was no time for me and I didn't make me a priority."
Most people get up and run first thing in the morning. Comedian Jimmy Fallon tweeted about it. The first tweet from his @JimmyFallon account this morning was asking his more than 5.3 million followers which app he could use to start running a 5K.
"Any good 'learn to run a 5k' apps out there that you guys like? Theres a bunch, but which one is good?"
It sounds like the late night talk show host wants get up from behind the desk and move a bit more. Maybe the visit from President Obama, aka the Preezy of the United Steezy, inspired him to go after the PALA, the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. He has already worked out with Michelle Obama. Or maybe he's setting us up for an awesome bit on the show. We tweeted out a request to find out what his motivation is, but haven't yet heard back.
App suggestions of course poured in, as did one message to skip the app altogether. @FatTonysMacbook suggested, "You could always just…run," to which Fallon replied, "nah… too easy."
Nothing worth having ever came easy, Jimmy! (more…)
I grew up as the daughter of a runner. I've been familiar with the sport since I was tiny. However, I never expected satellites and cell phones to become common tools of the trade. My dad had to make sure his wrist watch was fastened and his running shoes were laced before he left for a run. I have to make sure I've acquired a satellite signal before I can leave the driveway.
So, I guess it's safe to say that times have changed. I think they've changed for the better though.
With the introduction of smart phones and phone applications, today's runner can be much more informed. We can literally see our progress, be able to confidently and wisely go for our first run, learn to run faster, and receive coaching all from our little handheld device. There are a plethora of running and fitness applications available. These are just some of the favorites among users.

Hurricane Researchers Eye Low-Level Flights to Gauge Strength
Drone Will Glean Data From Critical Area Below 5,000 Feet
MIAMI—As hurricane season enters its second week, scientists are gearing up to unleash a new tool that stands to improve their ability to predict intensity, the component of a storm that most confounds forecasters.
Hurricane researchers for years have deployed an array of aircraft to help predict a storm's strength and path, from "Hurricane Hunter" turboprops that fly into its core to unmanned Global Hawks that cruise high above it. But one of the most critical areas of a hurricane—its lowest section, where the sea and winds churn violently—has largely been off-limits because of the perils of sending manned aircraft there.
Now, scientists think they have a cost-effective solution: a drone called the Coyote designed to venture into that turbulent zone for as long as two hours and beam back a stream of data that can paint a more precise picture of a storm.
"The way we're measuring things now is a snapshot," said Joseph Cione, a research meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who is spearheading the drone project. "The Coyote will give me a movie."
The NOAA plans to release as many as five of the drones this hurricane season, which began June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30. It is part of a $1.3 million project funded by a supplemental appropriations bill enacted last year in response to superstorm Sandy, which hammered the mid-Atlantic region in 2012 as it moved up the East Coast.
Researchers say that while they have made little progress in predicting intensity over the past 30 years, they have made significant strides in predicting a storm's track and have steadily narrowed the so-called cone of uncertainty, which covers the range of projected paths.
"Track forecasts get two to three percent better each year," said Hugh Willoughby, a professor and hurricane specialist at Florida International University. "The big problem that's been very resistant is predicting intensity."
A primary reason for the difficulty in intensity forecasting is that researchers haven't been able to closely study the area of a storm where the sea meets the air. That is where some of the key dynamics that affect intensity, such as the evaporation of warm water that fuels a hurricane, take place.
The consequences of poor intensity forecasting came into focus in 2004 with Hurricane Charley, which killed 10 people in the U.S. and caused $15 billion of damage. It strengthened from a Category 2 storm, with winds up to 110 miles per hour, to a Category 4 storm, with winds up to 156 mph, just hours before making landfall in southwestern Florida, surprising many forecasters.
This year, the NOAA is predicting a near-normal or below-normal Atlantic hurricane season, resulting from the likely development of an El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean, which tends to produce winds that weaken storms. The agency expects eight to 13 named storms, with three to six of them becoming hurricanes.
Though piloted Hurricane Hunters have been slicing through storms for decades, they generally don't fly below 5,000 feet, in part for safety reasons. As a result, researchers rely on small cylindrical devices, called dropsondes, that are ejected from the plane and transmit temperature, air-pressure and moisture readings as they fall. But they remain aloft only a few minutes before being swallowed by the sea.
If the Coyote drones prove effective, "it would be an enormous boon," said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "We really need to get in there and measure things."
Built by Sensintel Inc., of Tucson, Ariz., and originally designed for the Navy to help with maritime surveillance, the Coyote is less than 3 feet long and weighs 13 pounds, and is intended for an altitude range from 5,000 feet down to 200 feet. It can fly for as many as two hours on battery power, and its payload includes a Global Positioning System and sensors to measure temperature, air pressure and humidity. If it proves effective in hurricanes and is produced on a bigger scale, the NOAA's Mr. Cione said he hopes to keep the price tag at $10,000 or less apiece.
Like dropsondes, the drone is released from Hurricane Hunter planes through a chute. The canister enclosing it then falls away, the aircraft's wings unfold and its propeller cranks up. While it can be navigated by an operator in a plane, hurricane conditions are so intense that it will likely be carried mainly by air currents.
Mr. Cione said he plans to dispatch the drones to several areas of a hurricane—including outer rain bands; the eye, or center of the storm; and the eye wall, where winds are fiercest—and gradually allow them to descend toward the sea. The devices are designed for a single use and will eventually drop into the ocean.
Researchers say the drones could yield data with immediate application. For instance, notable changes in moisture readings could signal a likely intensification of a storm. Long-term, scientists are hoping to get a deeper understanding of how storms function in the so-called boundary layer—below roughly 3,000 feet of elevation—to improve computer models used to forecast intensity.
In a hurricane, "the surface of the ocean ceases to exist," said Mr. Emanuel, the MIT professor. It becomes an emulsion, with "bubble-filled ocean giving way to spray-filled atmosphere." Little is known about the transfer of heat and momentum through such conditions, he said.
"The details of the turbulence in the boundary layer are absolutely critical," he said.

THE Beards bass player and pro-beard campaigner Nathaniel Beard shared his facial hair wisdom with The Observer this week.
The band will embark on a farewell tour next year - which marks the last time they will campaign for beards through live music.
>> The Beards celebrate facial hair in Gladstone one last time
Top tips for growing beards:
"Persistence makes a good beard, it might be patchy or you might not like the hue but you must be persistent. Some poeple shave off their beards because it might be red, even though they're not a ginger but we say embrace the beard that nature has given you and just rock it and own it."
"Embrace your beard even if it's patchy or itchy. It will only be itchy for 2 - 6 months."
"Treat it like the hair on top of your head, you have to shampoo and condition it."
- "The female half of the population have to have even more patient than males because they have to wait till they're in their 80s to grow a beard most of the time."

There are at least 3 Asian manufacturer remote shutter releases that function identically to the RM-UC1, available in US (no VAT) for around US$ 6, and others that add a timer / intervalometer for US$15. Olympus has used the same remote release for all their digital cameras for quite a while, and its rather simple (just closing an electrical circuit). Any release listed as compatible with any one of the cameras on the linked list will be compatible with pretty much every Olympus camera that uses Olympus's proprietary USB cord connector, including those not listed like the EM-5.

PRIME-A-PLANTProject reference: 309944
Funded under :
Priming of plant immunity: from its onset to trans-generational maintenance
Project details
Total cost:EUR 1 307 407,2
EU contribution:EUR 1 307 407,2
Coordinated in:United Kingdom
Call for proposal:ERC-2012-StG_20111109See other projects for this call
Funding scheme:ERC-SG - ERC Starting Grant
Plant defence depends on speed: the sooner a plant recognises its attacker, the more effective its defence response will be. Over the course of evolution, plants have acquired the ability to prime their immune system after perception of specific environmental signals. This heightened state of defence enables a faster and/or stronger activation of inducible defence mechanisms after pathogen attack, providing resistance against a wide range of diseases. Based on a phenotypically similar response in human immune cells, this plant resistance response is called "defence priming".
The primed defence state is not accompanied with an increased expression of costly defence mechanisms. Consequently, broad-spectrum disease resistance by defence priming is not associated with major reductions in plant growth and reproduction. Furthermore, defence priming can be maintained over a relatively long period of time, which is why it is often regarded as a form of immunological plant memory. Despite these attractive properties for application in sustainable agriculture, there are still many unanswered questions about the mechanistic basis of defence priming. The main objective of this ERC proposal is to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning two poorly understood aspects of the phenomenon:
1. the onset of primed defence.
2. the long-term maintenance of primed defence, including the intriguing phenomenon that the primed defence state can be transmitted from pathogen-exposed plants to their progeny.
Using state-of-the-art techniques in the field of molecular biology, biochemistry, and (epi)genetics, this project will address the overarching question of how plants adapt their immune system to the conditions in their environment. This project will allow me to generate new insights in the regulation of plant defence and provide tools that can be used to develop novel strategies for sustainable crop protection.

Before moving to New York from Oakland Pianist/Composer/Educator Michele Rosewoman performed at major venues in the Bay Area with artists such as Julian Priester, Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake, as well as with her own ensembles. She studied jazz traditions with pianist Edwin Kelly and Cuban folkloric music with master percussionists. Rosewoman's New York ensembles have consistently brought together some of the most inventive voices in contemporary jazz including Greg Osby, Miguel Zenon and Gary Thomas among others. She has also continued to nurture associations with artists such as Rufus Reid, Reggie Workman, James Spaulding and Billy Hart. Her pioneering New Yor-Uba ensemble is a lasting tribute to her work with master drummer/vocalist Orlando 'Puntilla' Rios.
Michele has released numerous CD's and received a National Endowment for the Arts grant for the formation of her New Yor-Uba ensemble (which integrates Cuban folkloric music and contemporary jazz); the 1983 ASCAP / Meet the Composer Commission, resulting in a work performed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra; and a 2003 and 2008 Chamber Music America/Doris Duke New Works Grant for her highly acclaimed Quintessence ensemble, which was formed in 1986.

Bradley Cooper has taken home the Sexiest Man Alive 2011 title in the latest issue of People magazine.
The "Hangover" actor is quite humble about the accolade, saying, "I think it's really cool that a guy who doesn't look like a model can have this [title]. I think I'm a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying."
The positive traits and qualities People attribute to Bradley Cooper include French fluency, cooking prowess, motorcycle ownership and a diploma from Georgetown. Oh, and he's close with his mom: upon hearing that he'd been crowned Sexiest Man Alive 2011, he said, "[The] first thing I thought was, 'My mother is going to be so happy.'"
