Back to basics at Schroders after Maisonneuve exit
Schroders is planning a landmark shift away from theme-based investing – investing based on issues such as climate change or an aging population – for its £120 billion of equities under management after choosing Alex Tedder as its new head of global equities to replace Virginie Maisonneuve.
The shift illustrates the different forces pulling at fund managers. Schroders, the largest fund manager on the London exchange, indicated that stock investing based on big-picture themes was not fitting with client requirements.
As part of the back-to-basics approach Schroders has confirmed it closed its thematic-driven Global Resources Equity fund earlier this month.
Maisonneuve built a strategy based around global trends and is pursuing the same strategy at Pimco, where she is deputy chief investment officer and head of equities.
However Peter Harrison, Schroders' head of equities, who will be Tedder's manager, said the change in strategy was a "dialling down" of the importance of thematic investing "for good commercial reasons" and in response to where assets are flowing.
Harrison said Tedder "doesn't emphasise thematic investing" as Maisonneuve had done and noted Tedder's focus on "core" global equity strategies "resonates well with the changes" that the business had made since Maisonneuve's departure. Maisonneuve declined to comment.
Tedder (pictured) is currently the senior portfolio manager in New York for fund manager American Century Investments and will return to London to take up the role.
Tedder and Harrison had worked together at Deutsche Asset Management where Tedder was head of international equities. Tedder was unable to speak under the terms of his severance agreement. He will have responsibility for the global and international equities teams.
Harrison said that the priority for Schroders was to introduce Tedder to its institutional client base and explain the ongoing strategy.
He added: "We are going to focus more on growing our core global equity and EAFE [Europe, Australasia and Far East] equity products."

PNT Staff Report
Portales police officials are advising the public to report suspicious activity after a recent increase of burglary and larceny in Portales.
Over the past six days, police have received 19 calls involving larceny and burglary, said Portales Police Capt. Lonnie Berry said.
Half of the calls were vehicle burglaries; the other half were burglaries of residences and business, Berry said.
"The burglaries have occurred at different times in the evening and night," Berry said.
Police officials are working on statistics to determine what is being stolen and when, and if there is a pattern to the burglaries, Berry said.
He said that while the police department is doing all it can to solve and prevent these crimes, public participation is greatly needed.
"We encourage people to report and suspicious activity in their neighborhood," Berry said. "This would include reporting someone that they might not normally see in their neighborhood."
"Many of the vehicles had been left unlocked and items left inside or in the back of the vehicles," Berry said.
People can take some simple steps to decrease the chances of a burglary. Those steps include remembering to lock the doors of vehicles and removing unsecured items from the vehicles, Berry said.
"Tools left in the back of pickups or purses and wallets inside a car are prime targets for thieves," Berry said.
There will be increased patrols in areas with high volumes of reported calls. Car and bike patrols will be used to try and catch the people committing these crimes, Berry said.

Danica PHX Practice
Turns out, at the start of practice, Danica went up with a few guys and just watched a few laps run before she got out. Apparently the #7 Team is wanting her to get used to changing track conditions... in a NW COT. She also needs to piggyback that with Cup Racing too.
All in all, she did good. Was upbeat and gave a good interview.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

It's not uncommon to encounter the random street preacher who asks the question, "Are you saved?" He may follow up by asking, "Are you certain?" In fact, my Evangelical Christian friends have asked me this many times.
These questions find their purpose in the belief of most Evangelicals that once you have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior you can be assured of your own salvation. This is not compatible with Catholic teaching.

text: My premie was born at 34 weeks, he is now 4 weeks old. He was in the NICU for week and I had to limit bf so he could gain weight quicker. Last week I gat the go ahead from his docter to increase bf gradually, one more time a week. I should be up to 4 times a day this week. The problem is when he bf's he takes forever. Sometimes he'll be satisfied after 45 minutes and go to sleep, but most of the time he'll nurse for an 1 to and 1 1/2 and still act hungry. We're using a nipple shield because he can't latch yet without it. Also, sometimes he gets really frustrated and cries when I'm trying to bf. I'm afraid the bottle has made eating to easy and he doesn't want to work like he has to to bf. I really want to stop pumping and just bf. Any suggestions on how to wean off of the bottle.

Illinois high school students who took the SAT college-entrance
examination and its Advanced Placement tests outperformed
their counterparts throughout the nation, State Superintendent
of Education Robert E. Schiller reported today.
"These Illinois college-bound seniors, their parents
and schools are to be commended, Schiller said. "It
is clear they set the standard for the rest of the state and
their peers around the country.
On Advanced Placement tests, scores of 4 or 5, the two highest
scores, were achieved by 44 per cent of Illinois students,
compared to 34 per cent for students throughout the country.
The most frequently-taken AP examination subjects for Illinois
students in 2002-2003 were United States History, English
Literature and Composition, and Calculus.
The State Board provides incentives for schools to increase
participation on AP exams. In addition, many Illinois schools,
including small, rural schools, can now access AP courses
for their students through the Illinois Virtual High School.
Data released today by SAT show strong increases in AP test
participation in Illinois. The number of Illinois students
taking AP tests increased to more than 69,500 in 2002-03 from
37,000 in the 2001-2002 school year. The average AP score
was 3.26 on a scoring range of 1-5. Slightly more than 72
per cent of Illinois tests were scored higher than 3 per cent.
Mathematics scores for Illinois 2003 public and nonpublic
high school graduates who took the SAT I averaged 77 points
above the national average in 2003 and verbal scores were
76 points higher. In addition, student gains over the last
ten years were higher for Illinois students than any other
state. Scores are 33 points higher for verbal and 38 points
higher for math than in 1993.
The average SAT I verbal score for all public and nonpublic
graduates tested was 583, up 5 points from 2002 and 33 from
the 1993 average of 550; for mathematics, public school students
average 608, exceeding the overall state average by 12 points.
About 73 per cent of students who took the SAT I were from
public schools. Their verbal scores averaged 586, three points
higher than the total group. In mathematics, public school
students averaged 608, exceeding the overall state average
by 12 points.
About 11 per cent of Illinois' high school students take
the SAT, compared to the ACT that is now given to almost all
public high school students as a part of the Prairie State
Achievement Examination. Each of the SAT I tests is scored
on an 800-point scale.

Now that Art Basel in Hong Kong has ended its second edition, the next question is this: what happens next? Of course, this is not about what gallerist Rhona Hoffman noted during the fair's public days, that: "the art fair continues for weeks afterwards." Rather, this is about what happens to Hong Kong's art scene now that Art Basel has cemented its place here.
But of course, it's important to note that Hong Kong had a scene well before Art Basel's ship docked at this (free) port city. The running joke is that the M+ museum, part of the West Kowloon Cultural District, has taken some twenty years to (yet) materialize (the building is slated to open in 2017). Meanwhile, the wildly popular and ever-growing Fotanian open studio event has been running for 14 years. So it's not that nothing happens in this city, art wise.
But of course, since Art Basel announced its acquisition of ArtHK in 2011 (which had launched in 2008), eleven galleries have opened up in Hong Kong. This year, some 150 satellite events took place concurrent to the fair, including the Hong Kong Art Fair and the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Fair. And prior to Art Basel's preview opening on the 14th of May, an Affordable Art Fair had already taken place in March. Indeed, as a testament to the strength of the Hong Kong scene, made only stronger since ABHK set up shop, some 25 galleries from Hong Kong made up the 245 of total galleries at the fair this year, including young upstarts, Gallery EXIT, a staunch supporter of local talent, and OraOra, who were showing an exhibition exhibition titled "I Want to Be Seen" featuring works of young Hong Kong artists (including Halley Cheng and Stephen Wong) at their gallery space just off Hollywood road concurrent to the fair. The latter presented a trend by many young artists, post-Para/Site and post-Fotanian, to move their focus to the countryside.
But aside from the art, something else is taking shape in Hong Kong. On the ride up the mid-levels escalator (to view a video work presented through a window of the Sally Coco sex shop on Cochrane Road as part of Hong non-profit Para/Site's current group show, Ten Million Rooms of Yearning: Sex in Hong Kong), there were advertisements for a new art and design community recently launched at the old Police Married Headquarters on Aberdeen Street. The development was the winning project submitted for the government's Conserve and Revitalize Hong Kong Heritage project, which offered the space, built in 1951, to the creative industries in 2010. The winning proposal came from a non-profit making social enterprise set up by the Musketeers Education and Culture Charitable Foundation Ltd. in collaboration with the Hong Kong Design Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Hong Kong Design Institute of the Vocational Training Council.
Having only just opened and with more and more units being filled, the PMQ project is pretty genius. The ground floors are given over to those who can pay Hong Kong's notorious rents: Vivienne Tam is here, as is Swarovski and G.O.D (Goods of Desire)—Hong Kong's local design chain flying the flag for local design. Then, the upper floors are given over to local designers who are able to rent studio/shop space at a discount (with a few pop up stores along the way, including Joyce Cares, which launched with an art installation by Josh Maupin). The result is a showcase of local design, and an indication of how not only art by design is gaining greater visibility and presence in the city. PMQ also presents a marriage between art and commerce that somehow manages to benefit artists and designers more directly, in that studio space is one of the hardest things to come by (and afford) in this city.
Of the studios I visit, I am drawn into a creative studio dedicated to interdisciplinary experiments in art and design named Handkerchief, by a video playing in the darkened room. It presents strange, goblin-like figures dancing in a circle against a red background, showcasing a raincoat—one of the label's designs. The story of the raincoat is pretty great. As Amy Cheng of Handkerchief tells me, it was conceived as a raincoat for the "100%" (Cheng got the idea for the design while observing Occupy Wall Street in New York City): a raincoat that can be folded and zipped up into the form of what looks like a Chanel bag. Handkerchief's videos are weird and wonderful. Another one includes the insertion of Handkerchief designs into scenes from Fritz Lang's Metropolis, and a weird conversation between three women who may or may not be sisters, as someone bangs on a meeting room door.
Intrigued by the commingling of art and design within the concept store, I ask Cheng how she views the mushrooming interest in art and design in Hong Kong. It turns out she is an artist herself (as is her partner, Erkka, who produces the label's videos). She tells me about a project she produced for ArtHK in 2011, titled "The Chance Machine", in which a machine resembling the lottery machine for Hong Kong's Marx Six gave local people the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for 20HKD for the chance to win a work of art. The project, I am told, was a reaction to how art had become unaffordable in Hong Kong due to the city's rising status as an art centre—complete with a Sotheby's, a Christie's, and an art fair. For Cheng, this has been the downside to art's rise in the city over the last decade.
But Cheng—who also took part in the exhibition staged in both Hong Kong and at The Saatchi Gallery in London, "Hong Kong Eye" (she presented a to-scale wooden tank that viewers could climb into a shoot things with)—doesn't see a difference between her art practice and her fashion label. In fact, she produces her own fabric designs at her father's fabric mill, which recalls something another designer mentioned during my visit: that Hong Kong design should be supported, given that the resources are all here in terms of manufacturing. And while Cheng does not view the relationship between art and commerce too kindly, particularly when it comes to art fairs, it makes sense to see her in a studio space that is at once government-subsidized, run as a non-profit, but still retains a commercial character. So far, so Hong Kong.
And so, after Art Basel in Hong Kong packs up for another year, Hong Kong is left with such endeavours as PMQ, which stays true to the idea of art for all. It makes good (and relatively affordable) design available to the public, while maintaining a yearlong presence—and commitment—to the city and its independent producers. (Studios also hold workshops at PMQ and there are also galleries being set up here, too.) It's nice to know these things are happening, and that as commercial as this city can be, at least its future looks increasingly creative and diverse.

Edwin Outwater conducts Laurier symphony orchestra
Nov 19/12| For Immediate Release
Glen Carruthers, Dean
Kevin Crowley, Director
WATERLOO Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Music Director Edwin Outwater will conduct the Wilfrid Laurier University Symphony Orchestra Saturday, Nov. 24. The ambitious program, which begins at 8 p.m. in the Theatre Auditorium on Lauriers Waterloo campus, features music by Chabrier, Saint-Saëns, Barber and Shostakovich, and two Faculty of Music Concerto Competition winners: violinists Laila Haight and Victoria Melik.
This event helps bring our two organizations, which already have a close relationship, even closer, said Laurier Faculty of Music Dean Glen Carruthers. It benefits everyone involved, including our audience, but the primary beneficiaries are our students, and that makes everyone happy.
Resident conductor of the San Francisco Symphony from 2001 to 2006, Outwater served as the music director of the youth orchestra there, leading all of their concerts and a tour of Europe. He also implemented education programs that received the Leonard Bernstein Award for Excellence in Educational Programming. In Kitchener-Waterloo, Outwater has redesigned the symphonys education series and he continues to appear frequently with youth orchestras throughout the United States and across the world.
When working with youth, the rehearsals are even more important than the concert, said Outwater, who worked with the symphony in the weeks leading up to the concert as a guest conductor-in-residence. My goals are never modest Im excited to see how far we can go in November.
- España, Emmanuel Chabrier (1841-1894)
- Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 28, Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), featuring Victoria Melik, violin
- Concerto for Violin, Op. 14, Samuel Barber (1910-1981), featuring Laila Haight, violin
- Allegro
- Symphony No. 12 in D minor, Op. 112, The Year of 1917, Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
- I Revolutionary Petrograd
- II Raziliv
- III Aurora
- IV The Dawn of Humanity
Carruthers said Shostakovichs The Year of 1917, dedicated to the memory of Lenin, has always been controversial in the West. Its appeal is immediate, though, and the work is laden with social and political meanings. Performed infrequently, its a tremendous virtuosic vehicle for the Laurier orchestra.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and free for Laurier students. For more information, email email@example.com or phone 519-884-0710 ext. 2150.

The 30-year-old Manu played for Tonga in the 2008 World Cup but now qualifies for England on residency, having moved to the United Kingdom in 2006 - initially to play for Castleford - and he was brought into McNamara's squad for a get-together in Liverpool this week.
McNamara's predecessor Tony Smith created much debate after handing Samoa-born prop Maurie Fa'asavalu a Great Britain debut in 2007.
"Willie Manu qualifies to play for England on residency and has made himself available," said an RFL spokesman.
Absolute joke.
You would thought that after picking Fasavalu the England team would have learned their lesson.
Bad news for the sport.
If this happens I wont be watching the England team.
It's just one player, one the other side what about the inclusion of Ben Jones-Bishop? Is that a joke? Keep calm and carry on dude.

Uriah Levy statue
Who is that man and what did he do?
That's what Gary "Yuri" Tabach, a recently retired U.S. Navy captain living in Moscow, hoped generations of Philadelphians would ask when he decided to commission a 1,000-plus-pound bronze statue and have it mounted on a pedestal outside Congregation Mikveh Israel on Independence Mall.
In December, 2011, hundreds of people attended the dedication of the likeness of Uriah P. Levy.
Levy, born in Philadelphia in 1792, was the first Jewish American to ever to rise to the rank of commodore — the equivalent of today's rank of admiral — in the United States Navy. He abolished the Navy's practice of flogging sailors as a form of punishment. He also faced some hard-core anti-Semitism, was once kicked out of the Navy on the baseless grounds of inefficiency, and even killed another officer in a duel following an anti-Semitic insult. And he had a serious man crush on America's third President, Thomas Jefferson, whom Levy credited with establishing religious liberty in the United States and opening the door of opportunity to non-Christian Americans.
In 1936, a decade after Jefferson's death, Levy — who on the side made a killing in the real estate market — purchased the president's former home in Charlottesville, Va. though it was in a state of disprair. Considered one of the earliest preservationists, he helped restore Monticello to its glory days.
Today, historians credit Uriah's nephew Jefferson Monroe Levy for ensuring that Jefferson's vision was preserved for future generations of Americans.
Check out the statue next time you're wandering through Independence Mall.
Uriah P. Levy Statue
Where: Just outside Congregation Mikveh Israel, 44 North 4th Street Philadelphia, PA 19106
Cost: Free

August 21, 2013 —
An estimated 5,000 people turned out to the first-ever Bagel Festival in Monticello on August 17 and 18. Jeffrey Siegel, owner of the Spencer Daniels Agency, which produced the festival, said, "The only way it could have been more fabulous would be maybe if President Obama stopped by. It was just great."
He said that the festival will definitely be held again next year. He said he was pleased there were many vendors, and comments from both vendors and visitors were positive.
Siegel put a lot of time and effort into promoting the festival, including having Monticello officially dubbed the Bagel Capital by the Sullivan County Legislature, the Town of Thompson and the New York Senate.
Siegel has said there is an authentic connection to bagel history, as the first bagel-making machine was built in nearby Hurleyville.

I am a father to a baby born with the same Gastroschisis condition. In my experience or to put it more appropriately my partners experience, the amount of milk you will have to produce when your baby is introduced to milk will vary by amount, in the first instance your baby will be fed via TPN (Long Line) then slowly introduced to milk, probably on a scale of 5 to 10ml.
If you have any other feeding issues ask the consultant who will be dealing with your baby and the ICU who will care for your baby after birth.
I also maintain a brand new website dedicated to the Gastroschisis condition which may well have more of the answers you are looking for. Hope this helps

Still Throwin' Al Under the Bus
We're friends.
He'll forgive me.
I mean, here were are… it's August. Like usual the Cardinals are in the thick of an exciting pennant chase. And the Tigers… well, the Tigers are busy suckin'.
Of course I'm gonna say something to my opinionated and oft-brazen colleague, Mr. Allen Krause. If I keep my mouth shut, my reputation is done. Over. Finished.
And that ain't gonna happen.
'Cuz not only am I known to kick people while they're down, I'm also known to have a knack for unearthing old childhood videos of Mr. Krause actin' a fool.
Not quite Jimmy Leyland worthy, is he.
Hate me 'cuz I'm crass, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

It sucks that I can't watch videos at work. I'll catch it when I get home, AFTER going to the game tonight. Yep! I am heading to Dodger Stadium no matter how the team sucks.
That's a complete lack of parental supervision right there. Someone send that kid for a time out.
Emma — Dodgers = Done.
Mike — Also done!
All I can say is it's a good thing YouTube didn't exist when I was a kid, or I would have been on there making a total fool of myself – like 24/7.
That kid may have scarred me for life….anyway, I just hope the Tigers suck a little bit longer so my Yanks can win a few games. Losing 1 to them is enough!
Still trying to figure out if you insulted the kid or Allen… one appears to be as bad as the other….
Jane –I am in the same boat.
Virginia — Losing ANY to them is terrible. LOL.
Peter — Definitely the kid.

Loki Games was the first company dedicated to commercially porting best-selling computer game titles to Linux (because "world domination should be fun").
The company was a pioneer in porting applications from Windows to Linux, and has been deeply involved in the Linux community. Most recently, it spearheaded the OpenAL project, which is devoted to the development of an open-source, cross-platform 3D-Audio library which hopes to become the equivalent, for sound, of what OpenGL is for video.
The O'Reilly Network talked to Loki founder and President Scott Draeker about porting Windows applications to Linux, the Linux market, and the importance of giving back to the Open Source development community.
J.S. Kelly: As far as I can tell, you founded Loki with the intention of porting the best games from the Windows and Mac world to Linux. That is, you founded the company first -- and then set about finding your first product to port. Is that correct?
Scott Draeker: That's right. I spent several months after leaving my previous job putting together the company, finding the people we needed, and negotiating licenses with publishers. We signed the CivCTP contract on December 31, 1998, and started coding January 4.
Kelly: When you did strike your first deal, with Activision, to port Civilization: Call to Power to Linux? What happened next? Had you already assembled a team that was experienced in porting applications across platforms, or was it a completely new kind of challenge?
Draeker: We had a great team, but no one anywhere had ever done this before. In fact the tools we use -- GCC, GDB, and others -- were in some cases inadequate and needed to be enhanced. A year later, we still spend a significant amount of time enhancing tools, as games tend to always push the state of the art.
GCC and GDB
When Richard Stallman founded GNU, which stands for GNU's Not Unix, the first thing that needed to be created was a compiler -- the software that translates the source code a programmer writes into the object code a computer understands. Stallman's free C compiler, (EGCS) was later renamed GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). Today, development of GCC is controlled neither by Stallman, nor -- as is commonly believed -- by Cygnus (now a part of Red Hat), but by an independent steering committee.
GDB is the GNU source-level debugger, which monitors a program at runtime to analyze what it was doing at the time of a crash, in order to narrow down the possible location of a bug.
It is not possible to overstate the importance of these and other free GNU tools to the history and development of free software.
To this day, proprietary compilers and debuggers are not standard components of proprietary Unix systems. They are usually licensed as expensive "developer" add-ons. These free tools which gave power to individual developers and small companies, and which made the rise of Linux -- and innumerable other open source projects -- possible at all.
One of the reasons we've been successful is that we have always believed in open source development. Once we started coding, we had questions and problems which needed to be addressed, and in each case we received the help we needed from the developer lists.
Kelly: Were you able to take advantage of tools which already existed, and if yes, which ones? Or did you have to write a lot of your own toolset?
Draeker: We strongly favor open source tools over proprietary alternatives. That cuts both ways. The downside is that sometimes the only way to get something fixed is to do it yourself. The good part is that you have the source so that fixing things is possible.
In the course of developing Heavy Gear II, we've added several significant functionalities to the GCC compiler. We contracted with Mark Mitchell's CodeSourcery to rectify code-generation problems present in g++ that prevent the proper destruction of static C++ objects in shared libraries at the library close time, rather than the program exit time. This functionality was also contributed back to the community.
Kelly: Have new tools emerged since then, that you wish you'd been able to use from the start?
Draeker: We're very much looking forward to GCC 3.0, particularly for the C++ enhancements. We're also looking forward to better debugging tools, an incremental linker and possible support of Visual C++ extensions.
Kelly: It seems to me that until recently, most Unix developers didn't know much (or care much) about Windows and most Windows developers didn't know much (or care much) about Unix ... Which kind of knowledge was most useful to you in different phases of the project to port a sophisticated Windows application to Linux: developers who had an intimate knowledge of Windows programming, those who had an intimate knowledge of Unix and Linux programming, or those who were familiar with the programming environments of both platforms at the same time?
Draeker: Knowledge of Windows is helpful, but not necessary. This seems counterintuitive as we're porting Windows code, but in fact, most of the Windows specific stuff just gets dumped anyway. Knowledge of Linux is absolutely necessary. A lot of the value we add is not in making a Windows product operate under Linux, but in creating a Linux application that takes full advantage of its new environment.
Kelly: In the Loki Games press release announcing the deal with Activision, you are quoted as saying that Loki Games was "committed to providing an identical port of the new release" of Civilization: Call to Power. Was the Linux version, in the end, an "identical port"? If yes, what were the biggest obstacles that you had to overcome to achieve that goal? And if no, what were the unforseen things that prevented it? Is it possible to overcome them these days, or are they easier to spot ahead of time, now that you know what they are?
Draeker: Civilization: Call to Power on Linux was virtually identical to the original. We even left bugs in that had to persist in order to preserve network game compatibility between the Linux and Windows versions.
The last frontier for 100-percent seamless transition from Windows to Linux games is DirectPlay, Microsoft's networking API. DirectPlay is closed and proprietary, which means there is currently no way to achieve network compatibility with Windows games that use it. [Civilization: Call to Power does not use DirectPlay.] We're looking at ways of surmounting this last barrier.
Kelly: In addition to Loki, companies like Oracle, Corel, and MetroWerks were early to decide to port applications from other platforms to Linux. As far as I know, most of them do this work in-house. Meanwhile, Sendmail has decided to port their traditionally Unix product to NT. To do so, they acquired a company which had been developing a Sendmail-like program for NT, and if I am not mistaken is currently working to merge the code base for the two [Unix and NT] versions. They are also working in-house, but with code they acquired from somewhere else. Your company seems to follow a different model still -- I know that you work very closely with ie Activision when porting a game, but in a way they are outsourcing their porting to Loki instead of doing it themselves. In your opinion, what are the pluses and minuses of these different ways of porting applications?
Draeker: I think the different models you describe are driven by the economies of the particular market. Porting itself just takes takes the proper developer talent. But how many times has a developer wound up with cool code that he or she can't get to market?
Our model addresses the biggest reason why game companies don't port to Linux -- the QA, distribution, and end-user support. Game companies are set up to do these things for Windows, not Linux. A great example is Quake III Arena for Linux. We didn't do the port, but we are publishing it.
Kelly: I see on your web site that you are supporting several open source projects, like SDL Motion JPEG Library (SMJPEG). How valuable is this kind of activity for you in advancing the overall ease and/or quality of your porting efforts?
Draeker: SMPEG, SMJEP, Setup, and others are required pieces for games to run on Linux. We had to create them in order to develop our products. The questions was whether we would give them away as open source. Releasing the source code can be a scary thing. We spent nearly a year figuring out the "right" way to do full screen support for non-root users. Once we had it down, the code was on our web site within days, and any fool could download it and compete with us if they chose.
Of course, people could also use our code to create new games and other applications for Linux -- and that's a good thing. In addition, we've received numerous patches and suggestions from the community. One of the enhancements I'm most proud of is the upcoming hardware MPEG playback for SMPEG. We're working with ATI to add this functionality for ATI's Rage 128 and Rage 128 Pro video cards. In the future this could lead to full DVD support under Linux using SMPEG, ATI hardware, and third-party drivers. I believe all of this is a direct benefit from our releasing the source.
Kelly: I've heard from Corel that they are cooperating closely with the WINE project. As far as I know, they started out thinking they'd have to port all of their code by hand, then found out that they could run their applications on top of WINE, then changed their tactics again and are now compiling their applications to link in to WINE as a library. Are there other possibilities to find synergy between independent projects -- like WINE, FreeMWare, Samba, etc. -- or other tools and porting efforts? What are the pluses and minuses of each of these?

Draeker: I view applications such as VMWare and WINE as sort of a "spare tire" for people leaving Windows in favor of Linux. Porting legacy code and even running Windows apps is nice to have available, as you don't have to wait as long to make the transition. On the other hand, Linux won't be successful in the long term if it's just another way to run Windows apps. That's why we don't use emulation or take other shortcuts. By creating a Linux application, we are able to show off the advantages Linux has as an OS, something which even perfect emulation can never do.
Kelly: Is there anything that I forgot to ask about which I should have asked, or any piece of advice that you'd like to give to developers who are just starting out on the porting path?
Draeker: I would recommend that developers looking at creating Linux apps think first about their market. Linux users are very well informed, technically savvy, and have high expectations. Just slamming out a Linux version of your failed Windows application won't cut it. Set your standards higher. I would also recommend that you keep in mind the things that have made Linux successful commercially and in the development community. If your business model doesn't take into account the things that make Linux successful, if you pretend this is the Windows or Mac market, then you are in for a tough time.

- Abstract
- We performed a spectroscopic galaxy survey, complete to mF814W≤ 20.3 (LB > 0.15L★B at z= 0.3), within 100 × 100 arcsec2 of the quasar Q1127& 8211;145 (zem= 1.18). The Very Large Telescope/Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) quasar spectrum contains three zabs < 0.33 Mg ii absorption systems. We obtained eight new galaxy redshifts, adding to the four previously known, and galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) and metallicities were computed where possible. A strong Mg ii system [Wr(2796) = 1.8Å], which is a known damped Lyman α absorber (DLA), had three previously identified galaxies; we found two additional galaxies associated with this system. These five galaxies form a group with diverse properties, such as a luminosity range of 0.04 ≤LB≤ 0.63 L★B, an impact parameter range of 17 ≤D≤ 241 kpc and a velocity dispersion of σ= 115 km s−1. The DLA group galaxy redshifts span beyond the 350 km s−1 velocity spread of the metallic absorption lines of the DLA itself. The two brightest group galaxies have SFRs of ∼few M⊙ yr−1 and should not have strong winds. We have sufficient spectroscopic information to directly compare three of the five group galaxies' (emission-line) metallicities with the DLA (absorption) metallicity: the DLA metallicity is one-tenth solar, substantially lower than the three galaxies' metallicity which ranges between less than 1/2 solar to solar. Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC-2) imaging shows perturbed morphologies for the three brightest group galaxies, with tidal tails extending ∼25 kpc. We favour a scenario where the DLA absorption originates from tidal debris in the group environment. Another absorber exhibits weak Mg ii absorption [Wr(2796) = 0.03Å] and had a previously identified galaxy at a similar redshift. We have identified a second galaxy associated with this system. Both galaxies have solar metallicities and unperturbed morphologies in the HST/WFPC-2 image. The SFR of one galaxy is much lower than that expected for strong outflows. Finally, we have also identified five galaxies at large impact parameters with no associated Mg ii absorption [Wr(2796) ≲ 5.7 mÅ, 3σ] in the spectrum of Q1127–145.

I came across news yesterday that Burger King is bringing its Angry Whopper to Japan.
I'm not much of a fast-food guy so I didn't even know about this spicy offering from Burger King, launched in December in the U.S.
Get this. The burger comes with the usual toppings: onions, cheese, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce. But this burger's got some kick to it with jalapeno chili peppers and hot sauce. Ouch!
Apparently, Burger King has changed the sauce of the Angry Whopper to best suit the Japanese palate.
Burger King has a long history of frustration in the Japanese market, but they're giving it a go. McDonald's, its primary competitor, owns 65 percent of the market. Burger King is actually quite a small player with only 16 stores nationwide.
In any case, discussion of Burger King's chances in Japan will have to wait.
What I really want to talk about is the burger's name: the Angry Whopper.
I love it!
Powered by Emotion
This burger has a personality, and a strong one at that. All of us know anger because we've all felt it. Anger is like an emotional tornado, and we can't help but react to its intensity. It's a raw emotion, one that's difficult to control.
Burger King has tapped directly into one of our strongest emotions. That's smart, because as Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, has said: "The emotions are a serious opportunity to get in touch with consumers." And, as I said, we all know anger.
This isn't a generic name for a burger in any way. No, this one's distinctive. It stands out, and that's a good thing when you're trying to reach overloaded consumers. I'm sure the world has a ton of distinctive names for burgers, but I haven't seen many stand outs from the major chains.
I also love how this name lends itself to conversation and word-of-mouth marketing. I can hear it now: "Have you had an Angry Whopper yet?" The name isn't boring; it's one you want to talk about.
Like I said, I'm not a fast-food guy, but the name intrigues me to the point that I almost feel the need to go and experience it for myself.
Of course, the experience is where it all counts in the end. A good name can't save a bad product. A name can help get you in the door, but you'll only be asked to stay if you deliver on the promise.
I've never tasted an Angry Whopper, but Marvin over at The Impulsive Buy blog has. In his review, he actually compares the burger to the penis of a 1980's rocker. Hilarious read and good review.
Naming with the Positive in Mind
Just one last thought on the name selection. I can't help but think that one, two or more Burger King team members absolutely despised the name when they first heard it. And I say that because anger certainly is thought of as a negative emotion, as unhealthy and destructive. The associations aren't good: aggressive outbursts, hostile overreactions and physical reactions and abuse. Those aren't the associations you want to tie to your brand, are they?
Well, anger is often misunderstood. Anger can be healthy. Anger can be positive. Anger, as I said, is emotional energy. Anger makes people take notice. Anger gets reactions.
So, to Burger King's credit, they didn't go a safer route. They saw the positives in the name, saw the potential to foster connections and took a risk.
I think seeing the positives in name candidates, especially when you're seeing them for the first time, is solid advice. We're almost pre-conditioned to first think about what we don't like in a name. But what if we forced ourselves to look for the positives first? Well, we just might find opportunity and potential where we wouldn't have imagined.
What do you think? Does the Angry Whopper as a name do it for you? Do you find it appetizing? Do you think Burger King made a good choice?

Opinions on the name Eliana?
Really liking this name. I think it would be a wonderful way to honor my mother. Her name is Anabela. I'm not really a fan of using Anabela as a first name though, as I think it sounds a bit dated so why not use a variation
A few questions..
Would you pronounce it EL-E-AH-NAH or EL-E-ANNA? I prefer the first.
Does this name make you think of a Spanish girl? I'm not Spanish, it was just my first thought when I saw it.
Do you like the mn Brooke paired with it? Personally I think Eliana Brooke flows beautifully. What do ya'll think? Also, would love some more middle name suggestions
Just for fun:What name would you give Eliana's twin sister?
Excited to hear all your responses!

I love Eliana! Very sweet sound without being overly frilly. And with the nn Ellie as a possibility, I can picture it working with many different personalities. I agree with you that El-e-ah-nah is a nicer pronunciation and I think it flows naturally from the spelling as well.
I don't think of a hispanic girl at all when I see the name, I think it works for all different ethnicities.
And yes, Eliana Brooke flows very nicely! Some other ideas:
Eliana Pearl
Eliana Violet
Eliana Mae
Eliana Camille
Eliana Shay
And for a twin sister? Hmmm..
Eliana & Lennae
Eliana & Felicity
Eliana & Delaney
Eliana & AdelaideNot expecting, just planning and building lists!

I love it and it is on my list. I also pronounce it El-e-ah-nah. I like the nn options of Ellie or Elia.
I am not a fan of Eliana Brooke, or Brooke at all for that matter. I do like the mn combos suggested by the first poster.
If you like it paired with a one syllable, less frilly name, I like Eliana Paige more than Eliana Brooke.Esme Cordelia | Etta Rosemary | Fiona Elspeth | Matilda Hazel | Phoebe Kerensa | Rosalie Fern | Thea Marigold | Zara Madeleine

LED Production on the SUSS MA100e Gen2 Mask Aligner
LED Production on the SUSS MA100e Gen2 Mask Aligner
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasingly used in many lighting products covering not only the visible spectrum but also ultraviolet and infrared applications. To replace conventional light bulbs the costs for the production of LEDs must be low. Historically, the semiconductor industry has relied on increasing the diameter of silicon wafers in order to push productivity and lower cost. LEDs, however, are made from compound semiconductors rather than from silicon. And while red LEDs can already be manufactured on 150mm GaAs wafers other compound semiconductor substrates for technical reasons are still limited to a wafer diameter of 2, 3 or 4 inches. Therefore, the demand for increased productivity and lower cost needs to be met by dedicated equipment that combines highest throughput with the ability to meet the particular technological requirements and cost constraints of the LED industry. These requirements can be met by the new MA100e Gen2 Mask Aligner from SUSS MicroTec. On the basis of the well established SUSS MA150e, the MA100e Gen2 was optimized for small wafer sizes up to 4 inch and is equipped with a special high throughput upgrade, including a new pre-aligner, especially designed for transparent wafers.Download

Do dueling rallies miss the mark?By Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | February 22,2013For the third time in this young year, the Statehouse is likely to be awash Saturday with colorful signs declaring what the U.S. Constitution truly says, along with chants and impassioned speeches.
It will be the site of the Vermonters for the Second Amendment Rally, on the same day as the national Day of Resistance organized by the likes of rightwingnews.com and theteaparty.net. Although the announcement of the local rally mentioned the Day of Resistance, it did not say the two were directly connected.
This rally follows on the heels of the pro-gun-control rally at the Statehouse last weekend, which was itself in response to the first pro-gun rally last month.
So many rallies, one right after the other, begs the question: Is this form of debate even effective at getting the publics message across, whatever that may be?
The latest installment in the gun debate started after the shootings in Newtown, Conn., where 27 people, including 20 young children, were killed. In response, Sen. Phil Baruth, D-Chittenden, proposed legislation in January that would prohibit the manufacture, possession or transfer of semi-automatic assault weapons, as well as large-capacity ammunition-feeding devices, or magazines.
Later that month, a rally was held at the Statehouse opposing the bill as part of national Gun Appreciation Day. Less than 24 hours later, the weekly Seven Days broke the news that Baruth was going to kill the bill.
The fact that the first rally appeared to get results might be one reason for their proliferation. But not so fast.
Baruth said his decision to withdraw the assault-weapons ban had less to do with sentiment outside the building than with the opinions of the lawmakers inside it. Baruth said Thursday that he notified Senate colleagues on the morning of the rally that he planned to pull the bill, before the event made evening news headlines.
It had less to do with (the rally) and more to do with the fact that, so far as I can see, I was the only one in the building that supported the ban, Baruth said.
David Plazek teaches political science at Johnson State College. He said rallies are an integral part of democracy and are vital social movements for the public to bring about real change in their countrys laws.
While a rally is to some extent theater, Plazek said it does give the public a chance to voice a concern and that politicians have to listen to that concern or they dont stay politicians. He said rallies tend to be most effective when people also contact their representatives to voice their opposition or support of a certain topic.
For democracy to be vibrant, it requires an active citizenry, Plazek said.
He said what is interesting about the gun debate is that it was essentially over, with the gun supporters coming out the winners, until Newtown. Plazek said organizations that are devoted to zero change in gun policies tend to be coordinated from the top with well-funded organizations such as the National Rifle Association. He questions the expanse of pro-gun people or whether its just a case of a better-organized outfit getting its message out.
The Vermont Federation of Sportsmans Clubs, whose executive director will be speaking at Saturdays rally, is the state association of the NRA.
One issue with the frequency of these rallies is that they could give diminishing returns. Plazek said its possible that having rally after rally could cause a fire alarm or boy who cries wolf effect, where the message starts to get tuned out as the rallies become commonplace.
Anthony Commo organized Saturdays rally and the first rally last month. He said there is some concern about the event losing its voice among all the other demonstrations.
Still, Commo said this gathering is not in response to last weeks pro-gun-control rally but to newly proposed gun legislation, including a bill sponsored by Rep. Linda Waite-Simpson, D-Essex Junction, that would limit the number of rounds in ammunition clips and require background checks on more sales. He expects the latest rally to draw more than the roughly 250 who attended the first one last month.
The organizer of last weekends gathering, Danielle LaFleur Brooks, said she has no plans to hold another counter-rally but couldnt speak for any other pro-gun-regulation advocates.

Vt. 1st in Peace Corps volunteersDecember 13,2012MONTPELIER Peace Corps officials say Vermont is continuing with its ranking as the top state for the per capita production of Peace Corps volunteers.
Officials announced the rankings Wednesday.
Only the District of Columbia has a higher ranking in the production of volunteers.
The same rankings found that New Hampshire ranked fourth and Maine eighth.
The Peace Corps Northeast Regional office manager Brian Melman says the region has a culture of involvement and community engagement.
Since the Peace Corp was created more than 50 years ago, 1,453 Vermonters have served as volunteers across the country.
The Peace Corps currently operates in 139 countries across the world with volunteers working in development programs as varied as HIV-AIDS education to information technology.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Nov. 7, 2013) – Peninsula Regional Medical Center and UMES are teaming up with the Maryland Health Connection to deliver flu shots in Somerset County and provide free advice on how to sign up for health care insurance.
The university will be a one-day host site on Thursday, Nov. 14 for PRMC's roving Wagner Wellness Van, which will be stocked with vaccines to inoculate 400 people.
UMES officials are hopeful busy students in the final weeks of the fall semester will take advantage of the walk-up opportunity, but they also are encouraging Somerset County residents to come to campus that day as well.
Shots will be administered from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. near the entrance of the Student Services Center adjacent to UMES Boulevard (Md. Rt. 822). The cost for non-students is $10.
"We're excited about partnering with Peninsula Regional and Maryland Health Connection in making these shots accessible to our community," said Walter Woods, UMES' Outreach and Strategic Initiatives coordinator. "Hopefully, this will contribute in some small way to a healthy winter for those who take advantage of this opportunity."
UMES' health-care partners also plan to conduct information sessions on the new national Affordable Care Act inside the university's Student Services Center.
The sessions in the Allen Singleton Multi-purpose room are at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Maryland Health Connection is the marketplace for individuals, families and small businesses to compare and enroll in health insurance and determine eligibility for Medicaid and other assistance programs, federal tax credits and cost-sharing reductions.

Wayne County's 2005 update of its tax assessment rolls provided more realistic values for county property owners than had previously obtained, but may be costing Lehigh Township property owners in school taxes.
Lehigh, Wayne's southern-most township, sends its children to the North Pocono School district, which it shares with nine Lackawanna County townships.
Last year, Lehigh residents realized they were paying up to twice as much in school taxes as their neighbors in Lackawanna County.
Taxes in school districts crossing county lines need to be justified as to differences in assessment values, which are impacted by the timeliness of the county's assessments and actual market values from recent sales. In Pennsylvania, the State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) is responsible for evening things out.
A similar situation was recently resolved in the Wallenpaupack Area School Distict (WASD) between Wayne and Pike counties. According to the WASD, Wayne County's share of the district tax bill increased when the county's 2005 assessment update was used in the formula. Wayne now pays about one-third of the WASD tax bill.
Lackawanna County has not updated its tax rolls since 1972, and its rolls show appreciably lower values from that period.
Anthony Magnotta, the township's attorney, seeking to resolve the problem, wrote to the Wayne Commissioners earlier this month reporting two new problems: that the formula the STEB uses for Lackawanna County is based on the whole county, not just the nine districts in question; and that an attempt to resolve the problem using the state Public School Code "would result in even higher taxes being paid by Lehigh… residents."
Wayne County Commissioner Wendell Kay, who has been working with Lehigh and state Senator Lisa Baker to correct the problem, says Lackawanna began an update of its rolls several years ago and then stopped. Kay said he and chief assessor John Nolan set up a meeting with Baker to start corrective action by having the STEB "adjust their facts or Lackawanna re-assess."
Magnotta's recent letter is asking Wayne County to try once again to mediate between the various parties. Without a resolution, Magnotta quoted a Lehigh resident's comment, "'Why would you buy a property in Lehigh Township… that pays $6,000 a year in taxes when you can buy a similarly situated home in Lackawanna County and pay only $3,000 per year in school taxes.' Therein lies the dilemma…. "
The commissioners took no action on the Lehigh tax issue at their August 15 meeting.
In other business, at a brief meeting on August 15, the commissioners approved an amended property description of an application they approved in June, which is being submitted for a Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone (KOZ) in Sterling Township. Wayne is in a minority among neighboring northeastern PA counties and currently has no KOZ.
They also appointed Lyndsey Birmelin to a vacancy on the Pocono Counties Work Investment Board.

Note: Firm is no longer in business. There is no remedy. Destroy and discard these cribs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Child Craft brand drop-side cribs
Manufacturer: Child Craft Industries, Inc. (Child Craft ceased operations in July of 2009 and sold the "Child Craft" name to Foundations Worldwide Inc., of Medina, Ohio) Foundations Worldwide, Inc. neither manufactured nor sold any of the cribs included in this recall.
Units: Unknown
Hazard: The drop-side hardware can fail, causing the drop-side to detach from the crib or fall to the dropped position. When the drop side detaches, even partially, it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. Drop side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age related wear and tear. Additionally, when drop-side hardware fails and/or disengages, an infant or toddler can be injured by falling out of the crib.
Incidents: CPSC has received seven reports of the drop side failing. In one of those reports, the child became entrapped in the gap created by the drop-side failure. In another incident, a child fell out of the crib and suffered bruises to his head when the drop side disengaged.
Description: This recall involves drop-side Child Craft brand cribs using the style of drop-side hardware shown below. "Child Craft" appears on a label on the crib's frame and identifies the place of manufacture as Salem, Indiana or New Salisbury, Indiana.
Sold at: Babies R Us, Sears, Burlington Coat Factory, Target, and various specialty stores nationwide between January 2000 and July 2009.
Remedy: Child Craft ceased operations in July 2009 and a remedy is no longer available. CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Destroy and discard these cribs. Do not attempt to fix these cribs.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Foundations Worldwide toll-free at (866) 614-0557 anytime or visit the firm's website at www.cribsafetyinfo.com
Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Age is factor in the safety of any crib. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. -- Class options at Black River Falls High School are similar to high schools across the state. Every school has several electives to choose from, and, of course, there are required core classes. But in the Black River Falls School District, there is another learning option for high school students. It's called the Black River Area Green School or BRAGS.
"BRAGS utilizes project based learning," said Quinn Robinson, BRAGS teacher. "And project-based learning is the new... all the research at universities... this is the new way of teaching students."
Students at BRAGS create their own projects and come up with their own outcomes based on four areas: green technology, resource management, organic agriculture and sustainable lifestyles.
"The idea with project-based learning is that when you learn something in the real world, everything doesn't exist in a nice neat little box... strictly math, strictly science, strictly English," said Robinson.
So, students learn their core subjects by coming up with projects that interest them, as well as, meet the required state standards for their grade-level.
"I don't like having to have the same projects as everybody else, because there's no diversity in that," said Chris Tallent, BRAGS junior. "Everybody will have the exact same project and the exact same results. I like being able to choose my own project and get my own results."
Students also get to experience the outdoors through weekly exploration days when nature becomes the classroom.
"We get to learn how to canoe, but yet we stopped at some places and talked about the landscape and what trees there are, and talked about the history of the rocks that were there, such as limestone, and the big operation and then we talked about the Black River Falls dam that they just built," said Nevada Martin, BRAGS sophomore.
And it's these types of experiences which help students develop a skill which isn't always taught in a traditional classroom.
"I think that people are becoming more independent learners and things are so dynamic and always changing. Utilizing project based learning, you learn essentially how to learn," said Robinson.
