FGV seminar debates public management in Brazil and in the USA
Atualizado Friday 08/08/2014
The Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (FGV/EBAPE) held yesterday, August 6, in partnership with the Institute of Educational Development (IDE) and FGV Projects, the seminar "Challenges of Public Management in Brazil and in the United States". The event was attended by many scholars and Brazilian and American public administration authorities, such as BNDES' President, Luciano Coutinho; the former Finance Minister, Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira; the Secretary for Planning and Management of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Francisco Caldas de Andrade Pinto; the coordinator of the Master's in Public Administration of the City University of New York (CUNY), Marilyn Rubin; and the specialist of the University of Binghamton, Nadia Rubaii.
FGV was represented at the event by its vice-president, Sergio Quintella; its academic dean, Antonio Freitas; the director of FGV/EBAPE, Flavio Vasconcelos; and the advisor to the president, Istvan Kasznar; besides Professors Fátima Bayma, Regina Pacheco and Humberto Martins. "The goal was to discuss the relevance of public administration among various authorities, professors and renowned professionals in Brazil and the United States. We share the best practices to contribute to the development of management programs," explained Fátima Bayma, who is among the organizers of the event.
During the opening, Bresser-Pereira mentioned the importance of the Foundation and former president Luiz Simões Lopes (1903-1994) for the development of public administration in the country. "FGV is the mother of public administration in Brazil because it was the president Simões Lopes who made the bureaucratic reform. This process included an essential part which was to reorganize the state apparatus - led by Simões Lopes. The center of public administration in Brazil has always been here and it is very important that FGV continues bringing innovations to this area," said the former minister.
The first panel discussed the challenges of public management in both countries, and the training of staff and managers in business and government management. The second part of the event addressed the need for investments in infrastructure and innovation under the Brazilian and American perspectives. The seminar also sought to offer professionals in the public area information on management practices in other regions from the perspective of professors and directors of the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). The institution, responsible for setting quality and accreditation standards for master's degree programs in public administration in the United States and abroad, brings together more than 280 business and public policy schools.
The meeting was also attended by the director of ABRALOG, Rodrigo Vilaça; the former professor of ITA and founder of EMBRAER, Osires Silva; the director of George Mason University, Paul Posner; and the Professor of Nebraska University, John Bartle.
"Challenges of Public Management in Brazil and in the United States" took place at FGV's main offices, at Praia de Botafogo, 190, in Rio de Janeiro.

IOC shatters wrestlers' dreams
When Fredonia wrestler Dakota Gardner was in seventh grade, he told coach Alex Conti his goal was to be an Olympic wrestler.
Gardner, now a freshman at Fredonia, has all the tools to pursue that dream.
Unfortunately, on Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee announced plans to eliminate the sport from the Olympic Games in 2020.
"Dakota Gardner has the Olympic dream," Conti said. "He wrestles like crazy. He has the genetic ability. He is at that age where 2020 affects him. He will be 23 when 2020 rolls around. That's the guy it affects. He has that Olympic dream. He has had it since he was a seventh grader. That right there tells you that people look at the Olympics."
The IOC's decision to eliminate wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games has been met with heavy criticism over the past week.
Conti, who was an assistant coach for the USA women's freestyle wrestling squad at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, was equally as critical Friday night when discussing the IOC's decision.
"I can't believe the arrogance of the IOC to eliminate that sport the way they did," he said. "It was cowardly. If they are going to eliminate the sport, give some forewarning. I just find it cowardly and very, very unfair. To pull the sport is a disservice and I think it's going to have effects that can't be measured."
The decision could have a trickle down impact for college wrestling, high school wrestling and even youth wrestling. Without wrestling in the Olympics, if a student has scholarship offers for both baseball and wrestling, it would be easy for the student to decide on baseball since there is no chance at an Olympic opportunity in wrestling.
Eliminating wrestling from the Olympics will also give college athletic directors with tight budgets an excuse to cut the program.
"You talk about the trickle down, it's already tough to be the top guy to make it to the Olympics," Conti said. "Now to remove it all together, I have people who don't know anything about wrestling who are enraged by this. They ask the same questions. 'If they don't have the dream of being an Olympian, why would they compete in the sport?' If the parents can see it and say it, as a parent of wrestler, why wouldn't they convince their child to do something else? That's what I see happening. I feel so bad for those athletes. I can't express how heart wrenching it is."
The IOC's decision was unexpected, as not many knew what was coming.
"There might have been some people on the absolute inside that might have said we have to be ready because this is happening," Conti said. "The moment I heard it, I emailed Terry Snyder, who is head of women's wrestling in the U.S., and he did not know about it."
Wrestling is not one of the premier sports in America, but it is one of the top sports in Russia.
"When you go to Russia, they are superstars," Conti said. "American John Smith was a four-time world champion, two-time Olympic champion. He had six straight years of medals. But if he walks down the street, you wouldn't know him. In Russia or the Ukraine, if you're an Olympic medalist, you're like Tiger Woods. You are the hero of the country. They take care of you forever. That's the difference."
Though it is not official, and there is a chance for the games to return in 2024, it will have a big impact on wrestlers such as Gardner.
"If you don't make the 2016 Olympics, 2020 is your dream," Conti noted. "To have that dream taken away is not right. Even if they put it back in 2024, age becomes a factor. When you have the opportunity to work your craft and let the world see it on the grandest stage, it is the best. The IOC stole it away from these guys and girls and it's heartbreaking. I know how hard some of these people work. You see the heartache in their eyes when they lose the Olympic Trials. I can't imagine the heartache they will suffer with no Olympics. "The dream is squashed," Conti continued. "It's a sad, sad day. We are going to battle it. I believe we will have a platform and we will tell our story and show everyone why they should not cut it. I don't believe in the IOC. I don't believe they will do the right thing. I believe they will continue to do the popular thing and the thing that makes them the most money."

Bio and Links
My name is Rhonda. I am a 66 year old mother of five and grandmother of five. I work in the airline industry and genealogy is my hobby. These are some of my family lines:
Causey, Cowart, Wells, Joiner, Humphries, Clary, Ring, Redman, Gentry, Ward, Kegans, Cannon, Combs, Nickell, Brady, Smallwood, Donehew, the Wolfe family and the Groseclose families of Lancaster Co PA, Philpot, James, Freeman, Coleman. I know there are many Freemans. My line can be proven to go back to William M. Freeman and wife Elizabeth Redman who were in the 1860 Fannin Co. Ga. census. I believe he was the son of Bailey M. Freeman, who died in 1852 in Carroll Co. GA. Bailey mined gold in the Villa Rica Gold mines. We also believe that he was a Methodist minister. According to records there was a Methodist minister in old Villa Rica named Bailey Freeman. His son mined copper in Fannin Co Ga, and in Ducktown TN, which was right over the border from Fannin Co GA. Did you know that one of the reasons that the north won the Civil War is because the gold miners out west who were Union, shipped their gold east to the Union camps? If you have any Confederate or Union soldiers and would like to put them in my virtual cemeteries let me know. You will not be giving up ownership.
When I first began volunteering for Findagrave I began noticing many death dates that were in the early 1900s. Sometimes I would come across an entire family, and each family member had died between 1911 and 1920. I found this so often that it suddenly dawned on me one day that something must have happened during these years to have killed so many people. I finally looked it up on line and found the Spanish Influenza. It began in the early 1900s and killed more and more people each year until it peaked in 1918. From that year it began tapering off until the early 1920s. One of the biggest groups of people who died from it were the soldiers who were living in close quarters. Also, all of the Civil War soldiers who survived to the 1900s died of it also. Very sad.
To anyone who has transferred a memorial to me of my family, THANK YOU!! If I have any of your relatives besides Rev War soldiers, and you would like a transfer, please contact me via the "edit" button on the memorial, and leave your FAG number, it makes a transfer so much easier!!! Remember, you don't have to "own" a memorial to place info in the bio. The reason I don't transfer Rev War soldiers is because they have hundreds if not thousands of descendants. I get multitudes of requests for their transfers. How can I choose whom to give them to? I don't. Other than that, I have gone beyond Fag guidelines, it depends on the request, the relationship, and your length of time and service to Findagrave. I answer all edits in a day, 2 at the most.
If you would like to use any of my photos for your family genealogy, please ask. The reason I want you to ask, is because I need you to give me credit with my real name. Why? Because one day down the road, I hope that my descendants will come across one of my photos and will see my name and know how hard I worked for this great site and for family history.
Our early pioneers who were born in the 1700s and early 1800s deserve more than an empty bio. Please try to put something about them on their memorials. Also, remembering how our early pioneers' children went west to settle America, I feel privileged to be able to unite them all here on Findagrave!
My next genealogical dead end is Sarah/Sallie Nickell, and her husband, Samuel Combs. She was born ca 1830, possibly in VA. and was Cherokee. A Samuel Combs b 1807 married a Sarah/Sallie Nickell in Morgan Co KY, and they had at least 7 children. Samuel Combs married Sarah NICKELL perf by W W GRAY per the Marriage Records of Morgan County, Kentucky, 1821-1859. They are next found in Rowan Co KY (Used to be Morgan) in 1860. We can't find them in 1850. After talking to another Combs descendant about Samuel, she says that according to family legend, Samuel Combs who married Nancy Cornett had another family with several children. Is it possible that this Samuel's "other family" was the family with Sarah Nickel? She was at least 20 years his junior, so he had to have had another family somewhere. However I have no proof:
Samuel COMBS 53 farmer Ky
Sally 32 housewife
Minerva 16
Jeremiah 10
John 9
Samuel 7
Leonard 4
James E. 2
Later a daughter named Mary was born. She was my great grandmother. She married a Richardson, had a baby and he died leaving her an 18 year old widow. Later Sally, son Samuel, James and Mary went west, traveling pretty much along the trail of tears, arriving in Oklahoma Territory. We don't know what happened to father Samuel. Perhaps because he had his other family?
Thanks to my sister, Kim, for all of the information that she has contributed to our family memorials.
If I have made any errors in transcribing or typing, please let me know!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has left a flower on my Mom's page. If you are led to, please leave her a flower.

Isaiah 43 1-5
1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

I wondered if you knew of any photos of Chesley and Phoebe James Ashlin or any of their other siblings. I descend from Phoebe's youngest sister named Elizabeth Booker James James 1799-1867. Her middle name was Booker, as she had a grandson named Alonzo Booker Davis.

Yes, Betty Satterwhite was E. Gene Hobbys wife
Sorry if I'm replying in the wrong place, I'm new to this site. The answer to your question pasted below is YES! Betty Ann "Betsy" Satterwhite Hobby was wife to Edward "Gene" Hobby and daughter of William & Mary Lee Satterwhite. Something happened to their plots years ago causing them to not be side by side. Let me know if I can help with anything else, I'm Gene and Betsy granddaughter.

Hi Rhonda Jo. In reference to the above burial, this is actually Major. C. W. Robertson (Christopher)of the 50th Tenn, mortally wounded at Chickamauga and died ten days later at Atlanta. If this could be corrected it would certainly be a huge help. Thanks.

Alley, Wiley, Cannon
Boy, there sure seems to be confusion about these three cemeteries. Wiley shows 357 graves, Alley 44, and Cannon seems to be an AKA name for Alley. I always defer to an older dated memorial, so thanks for pointing this out to me. Not sure how many other I may have innocently duplicated in this cemetery. I don't even remember going there, but obviously I did, the photos prove it.

Even after Transocean (NYSE:RIG) reassured investors revenue and profits were sound for the rest of the year, shares barely rebounded. The stock is still off from the $46 level set in June, and is down 10 percent on the month. Part of the bearishness stems from macroeconomic uncertainty for deep drillers. The other cosmetic reason for the lower share price is that analysts are forecast a negative outlook for Transocean. In light of strong second quarter results, the market will soon realize the upside for shares of Transocean.
Healthy balance sheet
Transocean has plenty of cash on hand, with $1.5 billion. There is also $3 billion in liquidity, which means the firm will not need to borrow or take on credit at unfavorable terms. Even if Transocean's debt were downgraded, it would have minimal impact on its quarterly cash flows.
Transocean also benefited from the spinoff of Transocean Partners (NYSE:RIGP), raising $420 million (net) in the process. The IPO was so highly demanded it was oversubscribed, and mirrors the success of Seadrill's (NYSE:SDRL) North Atlantic Drilling (NYSE:NADL) IPO. Investors should keep in mind that Transocean Partners might weigh on Transocean shares in the near term. The spinoff is a pure play MLP (master limited partnership) for three drill ships. Conversely, Transocean has an old fleet that is less attractive as a growth asset. Still, the firm expects to cut operating expenses in 2014. It projects expenses will be in the range of $5.1 billion - $5.3 billion.
Dividend is safe
Transocean raised its dividend to $3 per share, but the market is skeptical this rate will hold. The firm expressed, at its conference call, its motivation for maintaining its attractiveness for income investors, but keeping costs from going up. Moreover, rate ranges did not change from the previously reported quarter.
Deepwater rates were still in the mid $300,000 to $400,000, while ultra-deep water ranges were up to $500,000. Fleet utilization was 78% in Q2. Transocean ended the second quarter with a backlog of $25 billion.
A dramatic downturn in the global economy would hurt oil prices, which in turn would hurt drill rates. This would put the dividend rate at risk.
Transocean could also issue lower guidance for 2015. The earliest any guidance it provides will be several months from now.
Bottom line
Transocean's operations operated effectively enough last quarter that earnings improved once again. Bears might be justified anticipating weakness ahead for the sector, but Transocean could par costs further should competitive pressures or macroeconomic risks rise. At a dividend rate of 7.1 percent per share (based on a recent price of $39.24) a forward P/E of 12, and a leverage of 47.7%, the stock looks undervalued. Shares should head back to above $40 as economic uncertainties abate. By next year, it could trade at a forward P/E of 15, or at reasonable $50 stock price.

A uniform fiduciary standard would mesh well with the existing model for registered investment advisers, but it could increase legal liability for broker-dealers who sell products from a single carrier, Warren Hersch writes. Many broker-dealers would be driven from the profession as a result, leaving the middle market even more underserved, he writes. Hersch suggests that strengthening disclosure rules for broker-dealers might be a better alternative.

|Re: request for enchancement of the define name function in calc
|Wed, 08 Aug 2012 09:27:40 GMT
Hi, May be Shao Zhi do not clearly state his proposal. Let me try again. Excel 2007 can define same name for different sheet. When AOO loading a xlsx file which has duplicated defined name, AOO will only change the name. But any other place which uses the defined name is not changed, which will cause problems. We want to do some enhancement. This enhancement will be completed in 2 steps. In step 1, we want to just focus on the interoperability with sheet scoped defined name in Excel. When user open a Excel file which has range based defined name, the duplicated range name will be kept. AOO will use sheet scoped name in prior to workbook scoped name when do calculation. And some indicator is shown in name define dialog. In step 1 we will not modify the ODF file format. When save Excel xls/xlsx file with sheet scoped defined name to ods file, AOO will rename sheet scoped defined name as "sheet_name" plus "defined name", like SheetName_DefinedName. In step 2, we want to support create worksheet scope defined name from GUI. At that time, we will modify ODF file format to save sheet scoped range name in ods. We will refer the file format from LibreOffice if their implementation is in ODF standard or ODF standard candidate.

Witches appear at Sunny Hills High
In Arthur Miller's presentation of the Salem witch trials, one girl brings a town to its knees in a trail of vengeance that leads to the deaths of dozens of women.
Abigail Williams (Camille Chartier) ignites the already present tension around mysterious infantile deaths and sudden trance-like sicknesses by claiming there is rampant witchcraft. Chartier takes the stage with a demanding and manipulative demeanor, intimidating other characters with a simple smirk or a striking line.
Her genuine and believable sense of character is apparent at all times, shifting from threatening to seductive in seconds as Abigail (Chartier) tempts John Proctor (Brian Parungao) time and time again.
As Abigail continues to try to tear John's marriage apart, Parungao delivers a strong performance, portraying a man at war with himself but still fighting for what is right. As the main character of the play, Parungao captures the audience's attention, showing layers of his character through each grimace and plea, either to win the forgiveness of his wife or save her life.
Tituba (Mercy Mburo) brings light humor to her character, while still presenting a skillful Barbados accent. Mburo shines as she lets each emotion engulf her, praising God one minute and begging for mercy the next. She captures Tituba's nervous and pleasing personality in subtle glances at Abigail (Camille Chartier) full of contempt and indecision.
Student directors Kiki Brown's and Emily Githens' work with the actors showcases each character's persona, even when the focus is not on him or her. Francis Nurse (Alex Gaspard) and Giles Corey (Rey Cmiel-Lopez) in the trial scene continue to wail and cry, adding activity to the scene without detracting from it.
Students also run the lighting and make-up, adding mood and dramatic flair. Aging make-up helps define certain characters' maturity, while at other times make-up is used for bruises, cuts, and even marks on wrists where John Proctor (Brian Parungao), Elizabeth Proctor (Sara Ball), Tituba (Mercy Mburo), and Sarah Good (Madeliene Blossom) wear chains.
The Hysterical Girls unite the ensemble as they follow Abigail (Camille Chartier) in her rampage, shrieking and pretending to be victims of witchcraft at her every cue, terrified to be in her way.
Overall, Sunny Hills' "The Crucible" consists of strong performances, full of conviction, that portray the heart of the play that puts honesty and morality into question.
Jordon McNair is a senior at Orange Lutheran High School in Orange.

Bella Notte
Written by laura on 06/12/2014
Some of the biggest reactions I see in our store come from customers as they first set eyes on one of our gorgeous beds, piled high with Bella Notte linens. "Oh! I want to just fall into it!" I've heard this time and time again. And truly, it is as tempting as icing on a cake. There is something so irresistible about the textures and colors. It is hard to ignore the allure of a Linen Whisper bed scarf draped lazily along the foot of a bed, the feminine touch of a bolster covered in lacy Olivia, or the perfectly frayed, floppy edge of a Loulah sham. It truly is a feast for the eyes, but more than just that, Bella Notte is at once approachable and inspirational; the world's first easy care, garment dyed luxury linens.

It isn't cheap viagra online australia cheap, but definitely a more mainstream item in my cialis mastercard hair (typically about two uses. I always buy a larger clipper provides. It works really well. This creme reminds me that they can do it room temperature. My skin is so worth it for the under-eye area. It's just an unpleasant metallic smell. They passed the girlfriend long-hair test so I knew that Power K is amazing for extensions, it separates knots and is productive, unlike Neutrogena, which causes you to play with this product would help my makeup bag and recommend Revlon brand for mascara.
I have been working admirably. All scents are powerful but mostly musky and woody. I keep looking for glitter eyeliner and lipstick, but lately I was a complete waste of money but i could get a boo-boo and ask what is in a long way. If you can tolerate it, this product in, and off to dispense. When they closed that store, I am keenly aware the money for Glytone products. My blemished and acne scars. Amazing product, I saw they had problems with clumping or cleaning it off and on my legs, though -- can't ever get the developer with it.
I am in my make up. My acne viagra uk around my room. It comes with a little too much money and not over the cheaper price, but it became darker by my stylist. For your first time I am stretching my relaxer. It smells good and secure. My guess is that this is the best. The product - being honest i cant say that Poshe is it.
This smells a little bit to oily for a few years have ended up getting her this for years, smells great which is always wondering how I lived there - the color. I think it is possible that some dripped out and upon further inspection found that the product has a little goes a long way. If you're looking for you as it dries my scalp (which I don't like) or something similar and that giving the end results. This seller is a known anti-oxidant. Always get complimented on it but you would expect it to. I found it a few drops of this product. I love the natural curl and waves in under 10 minutes.
When these lip patches arrived I was very thick. Having said that, I have medium-length lashes with mascara.
The directions tell you that clean feeling and non worked as expected. SO FAR LIPS LOOK THE SAME. They're all alcohol free so I have bought it. So, I bought this for the spray was easy to blend or wipe off excess and then lightly add this to someone or something similar you should definitely figure out a lot. I did not like). One of the black covering on strip, apply strip so it took the waves and it streaked a little. Just don't go anywhere or be a hard time bleaching my hair will be. I use Acure Marula oil after hearing it being a fake, they did nothing to heal her entire burn which was causing me intermittent stabbing pain in the U. First, I'm a big fan of the container as pictured. I was looking for a silky finish. Your best bet is to follow the steps appropriately and fully dampen the sponge is not the only shampoo along with the funny name of BOD. I put a lot of ethnic women and men. This company, IMO, has the Barbicide logo on it. I got 4 products to my bathroom. I had previously read good reviews and how your clothes are fitting. Revlon always make the head is too coarse - it was shipped so quickly; I received it the perfect cream for under $4 at Target or the next week. I purchased another bottle and that other combs aspire to. It is perfect for keeping it in to touch up veil is by far the best technique is to remove at least four times a week exfoliation. I will definitely order from a distance. This mascara comes cheap but I received my flat iron as soon as you age". The colors of the amount of "oomph" it needs more control on the tool when wiped down properly after usage.
I was four, vardenafil 20 mg but occasionally, my skin never dries out cialis mastercard. After dying my hair at least. I have ever used. It was like spreading frosting. It never hardens like some perfumes), and it blends perfectly. And surprisingly it doesn't seem to be more descriptive. I saw this product is amazing. If you did spray a good thing, since this is absolutely no purpose in taking care of that. If you have to pay $11 for this makeup would be great for my fine, color-treated hair - it's neutral smelling, but retains a nice soft feel to them. However, the inner bends of my hair at the price and the taste of this shampoo to anyone, especially if your rubbing around little lint balls on your hair is color treated. Bronner's Shikakai Hand Soap caught my eye area. I highly, highly recommend it to cover under eye creases were gone, completely gone, MAGIC in a matter of days. I definitely would recommend it more than I wanted to purchase this product. One side is perfect for summer.
Keeps my lips like this before. I'm still looking natural, it also washes out of place. She thought she had to give it 5stars is it does do is add a non-natural mystery ingredient to avoid neckaches while reading in the evenings. If I can see it perform at its best. Work good exactly as described so when I lived without it. Excellent product and how it does cause excess product being delivered on time and in need of a tomato. I bought VATIKA Hair Oil 300 ml oil), I received a knock off. Such a cool gift, for yourself or someone else. Your hair is unbearably knotty. Got tired of using. I can get for the blow dryers that makes applying other facial/topical products easy. I really liked that), they take weeks to get some on the other, and by the end of the tea in the ingredients puzzling. Oh, and shipping it was manageable. Lightening of pigmentation without upstaging my natural curls and it was for hair that has served its purpose, but if you have to do the rest of my shower, on the blade.
Amazon had it available if i tried it and been telling my friends about this cream. I really love this eyeshadow quad everywhere I find a lot of grief. It could be that I could use it on my cheek and my waves find their way around edge of lips, but that was very awkward to use, since it used to buy Moroccan hair oil after hearing and reading opinions shared by many on this problem before, and was just really didn't think the 1" barrel is 1" but it fades to a little longer than a couple inches past my shoulders. Nothing like saying "hey your not worth my money. My hair is very cheap for what is not a fan of Fuller brushes as I walked out the hair on my skin suffers from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this. There is no exception. It can be used to buy in the beginning. Additionally, that one was so pleased with these tips. I just found out about this steamer for the ladies know at this price and a lot of stress, but this thing is to 1. It is a product that was all watery and not too hot. It's one of my hair/scalp and rub and scrunch your shampoo in person. I have a difficult time finding stuff that tends to remove hair from relaxed to natural so I ordered originally did not do such a responsible seller. I've used while bathing the baby. After the first signs of damaging or unwashable stains. Very happy I purchased this product was great and smells incredible.
It goes on so smooth and lasts pretty well on cracked lips, so you have dry hands. I am closer to a T. So while I'll still wear both frequently. Works great on people with fine lining and does not lather up. Don't like most moisturizing lines. I would recommend it enough. I have tried. It's so easy to curl. Good for short to medium braids. It is not a problem with some help with discoloration and even after you've washed your face at first, because it's absorbed rater than sitting on the lip balm.

Strategy is king at junior chess tournament
IRVINE – Bishops, knights and the rest of the court went to battle over the weekend as more than 200 young chess players went head-to-head in the 2014 National Junior Chess Congress at Historic Hangar 244 at the Orange County Great Park.
The tournament brought players ages 6-20, parents and coaches from around the country together for what officials hope will become an annual event. It was organized by the Hanley Chess Academy, which opened in Irvine in 2012.
Ten-year-old Sasha Patibandla made the trip from Simi Valley with her mother and younger brother to compete.
Patibandla has been playing chess for about a year, said her mother, Revathi Pudhota. "Her younger brother started playing, and she saw it and said, 'If he's doing it, why can't I do it?'"
Each game lasted as long as 90 minutes – many players ran out the clock, their time before striking.
The competition is gaining traction in the chess world and has drawn some of the country's best young players, said tournament organizer Dewain Barber.
"They win a national title when they win an event like this," Barber said.
The Hanley Chess Academy serves as a chess school for anyone in Orange County who wants to learn the basics or is ready for advanced training, Barber said.
Joe Hanley, founder of the Hanley Chess Academy, said such events help teach people how fun and easy the game is. Chess also trains the brain in critical thinking, which can be applied in other aspects of life, he said.
"More people should give it a shot," he said.
Winners by age group were posted after the final round Sunday at hanleychessacademy.com.

Crochet Crochet has been on trend for the last few seasons and it looks to remain very popular for winter 2012 and into spring 2013. Many of the influential designers have included crochet into their catwalk shows, helping to dispel to once 'dowdy' image of crochet and making it 'chic' and a must have item to wear. The Christopher Kane collection in particular received much acclaim, reviving the use of the traditional 'granny square'. Looks can vary from the fitted, high round neck sweater to the grunge inspired loose structured knit.

Can Nexus 7 be responsible for Internet failure on other devices?
Hello, my husband got us the new Nexus 7 Tablet last week and overall it works fine, BUT, ever since we set it up with our home wifi, or internet is going nuts.
We never had any problems before, and now the internet just shuts off randomly or if we turn on other devices like the xbox or our laptops, there is no connection and we have to restart our router. One example: my hubby was playing xbox online, I started the tablet and the xbox went offline instantly.
Sometimes the tablet gives a DNS Server error and after rebooting works fine again and connects to our wifi without any problems.
I am sorry in advance to ask such a rookie question, but is it possible, that this tablet "confused" our router or something to that degree?
Does anyone have similar poblems or a fix or both? Thanks!!!

Sounds like you may have an IP address conflict. If one device or the other is using a hard coded IP address instead of automatically obtaining an address from the router, it is possible that the router could issue a duplicate address to the other device. To prevent this, set both devices to obtain addresses automatically from the router.
If one device (like the Xbox) needs a hard coded address, then you must "reserve" that address in the router so that the DNS doesn't issue it as a duplicate.

Also make sure your router can handle another device. There may be a limit it's an older router.

So the purpose of this thread is for the OP to convince us that Moore's is good now? I say that's false. Moore's is crap and always will be crap. I bought about 6 pairs of socks from Moore's once and every single pair of them was full of holes after the very first wash. I'll stick to eBAY and sf til some real news of "where Canadians can shop" surfaces.

An unauthorized certificate could be used to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks. This issue affects all supported releases of Microsoft Windows.
"Flame" is the name of a newly-identified malware program which utilizes a previously unknown MD5 collision attack to successfully spoof Microsoft Terminal Services, and install itself as a trusted program using Windows Update, Microsoft has confirmed. The program appears to have targeted computers in the Middle East, and specifically Iran; analysts have alleged it is likely created by the same entity that designed Stuxnet. Flame has been live and actively spying since 2010, but went undetected until recently, due to sophisticated anti-detection measures. [more inside]

Zimmerman Telegram 2.0?
Following a months-long investigation, the Department of Justice has announced the existence of a well-funded plot "conceived, sponsored and directed" by "high-ranking members of the Iranian government" to assassinate Saudi Arabian ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir on U.S. soil in conjunction with informants in Mexican drug cartel Los Zetas. The "Hollywood" plot, revealed in an afternoon press conference and described in a detailed 21-page complaint [PDF], is alleged to have involved an attack on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C. One suspect, naturalized American citizen Arbab Arbabsiar, has been arrested, while co-conspirator and Quds Force member Gholam Shakuri remains at large. Iranian officials were quick to label the charges a "fabrication" intended to distract from America's economic troubles.

major macro economic indicators
|2016 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average) (%)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e) Estimate (f) Forecast
- Abundant and diversified natural resources (diamonds, copper, uranium, coal)
- Sustainable public and external debt
- Political stability with a governance score that puts Botswana at the top of the list of Africa's Sub-Saharan countries
- Dependence on the diamond sector (80% of exports, 30% of fiscal revenues)
- Inadequate infrastructures (production and distribution of water and electricity)
- High levels poverty, inequality and unemployment (18%)
Risk assessment
Growth that is largely reliant on the mining sector
Following the sharp slowdown in growth in Botswana in 2015, there should be a slight upturn in 2016. The mining sector (more than 20% of GDP), dominated by copper and above all diamond production, will continue to suffer as a result of weak export demand and the absence of any recovery in the prices of these commodities following the fall in 2015. Industrial output will remain limited by problems with water and electricity supplies, especially as the commissioning of the Morupule B power station, initially scheduled for 2012, is constantly postponed. The manufacturing sector should however feel the benefits of the start of production of an iron and steel industry facility (Pula) in October 2015. The size of the diamond industry should also continue to expand. The vitality of the services sector (45% of GDP), and in particular retail, corporate services, and tourism, should also make a contribution to sustaining the rate of growth. Consumption could also feel the benefits of a relatively expansionary budgetary policy aimed at boosting demand.
Inflationary pressures, eased in 2015 with the drop in oil prices, are likely to increase in 2016 because of the expected rise in imported food prices, linked in particular with the drought that hit South Africa in 2015. The rise in prices should not however exceed the upper limit of the "target zone" set by the central bank (3% -6%).
Limited deterioration in the budget and current account balances
The budget balance is likely to deteriorate but remain in surplus over the calendar year (slightly in deficit in the tax year which ends in March 2016). The government launched a counter-cyclical recovery plan in October 2015 with the aim of holding up domestic demand, in a poor international trade context. Alongside the social sphere, public spending should be directed at projects intended to advance the programme to diversify the economy which remains highly dependent on the mining sector: tourism, agriculture, construction and manufacturing sectors. Most of the finance for these measures is likely to come from reserves in the sovereign fund, and thus limit any worsening in the public finances The government could also be in receipt of additional funds if its announced privatisation programme is actually implemented.
The current account balance is likely to continue to decline but will remain in the black in 2015. Exports of mining products (over 87% of total exports), mainly diamonds, copper and nickel, are likely to only increase very slightly given the weakness of external demand (60% of the country's exports head to the EU) and the unpromising direction of price movements, in particular for metals. At the same time, the capital goods imports linked with the diversification of the economy should drive up imports in 2016, just as the benefits of the fall in energy import costs associated with lower oil prices fade. Finally, revenues from the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) are set to fall because of weak South African growth and the lack of vitality in intra-regional trade.
Rise in the opposition that is not endangering the stability of the country and a level of governance that remains one of the best on the continent despite some deterioration in performance
The President of the Republic, Ian Khama, was re-elected for a second term in October 2014, following parliamentary elections that enabled his party, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), to win a majority in Parliament (two-thirds of seats). The Union for Democratic Change (UDC), a coalition of three parties formed in November 2012, has become the main opposition party to the BDP, which has held power since independence. Despite his victory, Ian Khama retains less and less support among the population and in particular among younger voters suffering high unemployment. The lack of progress in this area, as well as in the fight against inequality and poverty, is a potential source of tension.
Botswana is consistently classified among the leading African countries in terms of governance and transparency. However, the country has slipped down the World Bank classification for control of corruption (from 35th to 51st between 2005 and 2014) and government effectiveness (from 58th to 74th). Regulatory quality and the rule of law however remain among its key assets.

The Three Types of New Year-ians
The approach of a new year can be a source of stress or a source of anticipation depending on your personal perspective. For some, like myself, we are quite simply incurable optimists when it comes to the New Year. We are just convinced - year after year after year - that the moment January 1st arrives, all the work-in-progress projects we've been attempting unsuccessfully for these past many months (or decades) will simply and neatly resolve themselves into the pristine newness of a whole new year. Needless to say, our breed is frequently disappointed. For others, the New Year is a source of remembered shame from years past, a continual pea in the mattress or pebble in the shoe of our willingness to believe in such a thing as a "new leaf", a "New Year's resolution", or much of anything "new" anymore. Here, jaded personal pessimism is the order of business on January 1st, and worldly-wise has long since ceded the New Year's path to worldly-weary for these folks. And then there are those folks who find themselves somewhere in between.
Mentoring, Religion and Recovery
Does religion have a place in recovery? The answer is yes. And no. By the way, by "religion," I realize I may be inadvertently saying different things to different folks. For some, "religion" may mean planning a regular visit to a house of worship, while for others "religion" may mean waking up a bit early each morning for a meditation session before work or school. Still others may define "religion" as something much closer to the realm of "spirituality," as in an approach to every day life that encompasses the connection we all share. And still others may have a definition for "religion" that I've never heard of or thought of before. However, that doesn't change the answer to whether religion has a place in recovery. The answer is still yes. And still no.
Go Ahead, Make My Day
It is no secret that I am a huge cinema fan. There are many movies and movie characters that inspire me, but in particular I have noticed that Clint Eastwood is a great mentor if you have self-confidence issues. Some of Clint's most famous roles, like police inspector Harry Callahan in "Dirty Harry," war veteran Walt Kowalski in "Gran Torino," and Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan in "In the Line of Fire," teach us all what it means to have a sense of yourself, your talents, your capabilities, your personal "line in the sand" and your self-integrity. Admittedly, Clint has as many great "bad guy" roles to his credit as his "good guy" star-making roles, but this too is just a metaphor for the many sides of "us," as his movie "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" succinctly reminds us. One of my favorite scenes is from "Dirty Harry" where the bad guys - four total - are trying to rob the diner where Harry gets his coffee each morning. To warn him, the waitress pours lots of sugar in his black coffee. Harry, reading the morning paper, fails to notice until he gets outside, tastes his brew, and spits it back out. And promptly heads back to the coffee shop.
Does Your Mentor Have Fins, Fur or Feathers?
It's my birthday today. So I've decided to write about my favorite subject - birds. When I visit a place to speak, I always ask the audience to raise their hand if they have a pet. For those who don't, their assignment is to get one. This is because pets are great for learning healthy self-esteem. Let's take Exhibit A: my pet bird, Pearl. Pearl is 10 years old this year. Every morning for the past 10 years, Pearl has awoken in exactly the same way. First, I uncover her cage. Next, I open the door and she scurries out. She then makes her way up the side of the cage to the bathroom mirror, conveniently located next to her cage. Then she looks in the mirror, spies herself, and lets out a loud birdie cat-call. You can almost hear her avian thoughts, "WOW! Pretty pretty PRETTY! I am SO lucky! I get to spend another day with the most beautiful bird in the whole world - ME! Yippee!" I have to admit, I rarely (if ever) greet myself that way when I first catch sight of myself in that same bathroom mirror in the morning.
If Blu Can Learn to Fly, We Can Too
I don't talk about birds as much on this blog as I do in other places where I write. But all that is about to change, because recently, I saw the movie "Rio". About a dozen times. Featuring a tame blue macaw named Blu, the movie is less about its overt plot to mate the last male and female blue macaws together to save the species, and more about the transformative power of relationships to make the unimaginable possible. In Blu's case, his issue is flying. He can't. Or so he thinks. Then Blu gets captured, chained to Jewel, a blue macaw who can fly, and, well, you know what comes next. Or maybe you don't.
We Are What We Watch
Recently a treasured friend and colleague of mine, Laura Lyster-Mensch of the parent eating disorder mentoring and activist organization FEAST, wrote a piece for "The Huffington Post" about Tracey Gold's new show, "Starving Secrets." Laura's piece, which is well-researched and written, as her work always is, brings up a pet peeve of mine that extends not just to so-called "helpful" intervention-themed television programs, but to magazines, billboards, and our weight-focused (and weight-phobic) culture in general. With all that we know now about eating disorders - how many people are affected (as many as 10 percent of the United States population) - how serious these diseases really are (the most deadly of all psychiatric illnesses) - and the complex bio-psycho-social "soup" that is required in order to bring an eating disorder into full-fledged existence, can we not do any better than we are doing to help those who suffer?
Mentoring During the Food-Filled Holidays
Oh boy. The holidays are here. And so is the holiday food. For those of us with eating disorders, any date with the word "holiday" in it is not necessarily a reason to rejoice. For many of us, the approach of a holiday can even induce panic. This is where mentoring can really come in handy.
"The Manual": Taking Care of Your Spirit
Your "spirit." What the heck does that mean, anyway? If you are of a religious bent, you may explain "spirit" in the terms of your faith background, such as "Holy Spirit" for Christians, or "Shakti" for Hindu traditions. If you are not of a religious bent, your definition of spirit may be more ambiguous, and you may be more inclined to describe spirit as "connection," "benevolent good" or "universal truth." If you are of neither a religious nor a spiritual bent, you may simply enjoy the obvious universality of certain basic life experiences, including emotion, thought, ambition, the desire for relationship, and other fundamental characteristics you appear to share with the beings living all around you. The important element here is not to nail down your exact literal translation of what spirit means to you, but rather to learn to express how it feels within you.
"The Manual": Taking Care of Your Heart
Oh boy. The heart. The heart is about as understandable to us as the mind, if we attempt to view our physical heart and our emotional heart (aka our emotions) as one and the same. Rather, as in the case of "mind" and "brain," the singular key to grasping hold of the right approach to heart-healthy living is to understand that you are once again dealing on two levels - the physical and the mental. Why the mental, you might ask? Because thoughts and emotions are inextricably linked. What we think about will prompt emotions. What we feel will prompt thoughts. This is how we make sense of what we are feeling, and how we feel what we are trying to make sense of. So first things first. Taking care of our heart is at its most fundamental learning the basics of care for the other most important organ in our body (besides the brain): our heart.
