Innovation City CMU Promotes Technology, Fun at SXSW EventThe party may have been in Austin, Texas, but it was all about Pittsburgh.
The H. John Heinz III College, the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII), and the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) along with the Pittsburgh Technology Council (PTC) showcased CMU students, local tech firms and entertainment ventures at Innovation City, a party that was part of the South By Southwest Interactive (SXSW) festival.
"It's exciting to live and work in Pittsburgh right now," said Heinz College's director of online strategy Brad Stephenson, who worked with PTC officials to plan the event. "There is so much happening here - from startups to the arts to the film industry to community development. The city's star is rising on a global scale, and CMU is obviously a big part of that."
CMU often has a presence at SXSW. The Master of Entertainment Industry Management (MEIM) program sends first-year students to the festival. The opportunity allows students to hear speakers, interact with alumni working in the field and participate in panel discussions and networking events.
Ari Lightman, a distinguished service professor and director of the CIO Institute, moderated a panel on the impact big data analysis has on developing winning marketing strategies.
At the party, which was held at Meduse Lounge in downtown Austin, guests were treated to freshly made guitar picks and glasses without lenses created by the local firm Makerbot 3-D printers. Other Pittsburgh-based companies such as BodyMedia, WebKite and Paul Michael Design offered giveaways and interactive activities, and representatives from the rustbelt innovation advocacy group RustBuilt.org were on hand to help promote the city.
"The party was a unique opportunity that showcased Heinz College's diverse programming and keen sense of forward thinking; bringing together individuals interested in film and interactive aspects of the festival," said Judy Liu (HNZ'14). "South by Southwest was a great place to network and meet new people, and I hope we continue to attend to create more awareness for Heinz College."
Supporting sponsors included AlphaLab, The Resumator and Steeltown Entertainment Project. Innovation City was funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED), the Sprout Fund and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.
Presenting the innovations of Pittsburgh and CMU to the broader SXSW audience was a perfect fit for a conference where the keynote speaker was Elon Musk, known for founding SpaceX and co-founding Tesla Motors and Paypal.
"In my experience the best parties are the right mix of the seemingly wrong people, and this one definitely delivered," said CMU alumnus Fritz Myers (A'04), who attended SXSW to promote the soundtrack for his film "Sushi Girl." "I was very glad I came because it was an opportunity to talk with a lot of technical and business people who are normally outside of my sphere."

Saint Peter's 163
Monmouth 97
Monmouth 185.5
Saint Peter's 54.5
LIU Brooklyn 163
Monmouth 87
JERSEY CITY, NJ – The Monmouth University women's swimming team earned its first victory of the season with a decisive win over Saint Peter's as both the men's and women's teams competed on Saturday afternoon at the Yanitelli Center.
The women's team totaled 185.5 points in the 131-point victory over the host Peacocks, but fell to LIU-Brooklyn by a 163-87 final. On the men's side, Saint Peter's topped the Hawks by 66 points.
"It is exciting to see the women's team get its first win of the season. Coming off of winter training is always a challenge. The team raced well and is heading in the right direction with the MAAC Championships only a few weeks away."
- Monmouth head coach Matt Nunnally
- Monmouth claimed the top three spots in the men's 50-yard freestyle as sophomore Billy Lyons, junior Michael Lanigan and freshman Frank Nicola finished in that order.
- The women's team finished ahead of Saint Peter's in 11 out of 13 events.
- The women's team defeated Saint Peter's for the second consecutive season.
- The event was Monmouth's first competitive meet since the ECAC Championships in early December.
- Freshman Toniann Feigel's time of 1:07.66 in the women's 100-yard butterfly set a new season-best.
- Lyons' time (23.63) in the 50-yard freestyle was a new personal best for his Monmouth career.
- Austin D'Angelo set a new personal record in the 100-yard breaststroke when he touched the wall in 1:03.07.
Monmouth faces a quick turnaround before its next competition when it travels to Lawrenceville, NJ for a dual meet against Rider on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

Chapter Three
They were three full, exquisite days—a true honeymoon. They were at the Hotel-
de-Boulogne, on the harbour; and they lived there, with drawn blinds and closed
doors, with flowers on the floor, and iced syrups were brought them early in the
Towards evening they took a covered boat and went to dine on one of the
islands. It was the time when one hears by the side of the dockyard the caulking-
mallets sounding against the hull of vessels. The smoke of the tar rose up
between the trees; there were large fatty drops on the water, undulating in the
purple colour of the sun, like floating plaques of Florentine bronze.
They rowed down in the midst of moored boats, whose long oblique cables
grazed lightly against the bottom of the boat. The din of the town gradually grew
distant; the rolling of carriages, the tumult of voices, the yelping of dogs on the
decks of vessels. She took off her bonnet, and they landed on their island.
They sat down in the low-ceilinged room of a tavern, at whose door hung black
nets. They ate fried smelts, cream and cherries. They lay down upon the grass;
they kissed behind the poplars; and they would fain, like two Robinsons, have
lived for ever in this little place, which seemed to them in their beatitude the most
magnificent on earth. It was not the first time that they had seen trees, a blue sky,
meadows; that they had heard the water flowing and the wind blowing in the
leaves; but, no doubt, they had never admired all this, as if Nature had not
existed before, or had only begun to be beautiful since the gratification of their
At night they returned. The boat glided along the shores of the islands. They sat
at the bottom, both hidden by the shade, in silence. The square oars rang in the
iron thwarts, and, in the stillness, seemed to mark time, like the beating of a
metronome, while at the stern the rudder that trailed behind never ceased its
gentle splash against the water.
Once the moon rose; they did not fail to make fine phrases, finding the orb
melancholy and full of poetry. She even began to sing—
"One night, do you remember, we were sailing," etc.
Her musical but weak voice died away along the waves, and the winds carried off
the trills that Leon heard pass like the flapping of wings about him.
She was opposite him, leaning against the partition of the shallop, through one of
whose raised blinds the moon streamed in. Her black dress, whose drapery
spread out like a fan, made her seem more slender, taller. Her head was raised,
her hands clasped, her eyes turned towards heaven. At times the shadow of the
willows hid her completely; then she reappeared suddenly, like a vision in the
Leon, on the floor by her side, found under his hand a ribbon of scarlet silk. The
boatman looked at it, and at last said—

A tart, sweet, and tingly shrub is a refreshing way to preserve and enjoy summer berries. This recipe uses an easy cold-process technique.

Shrubs are a delicious way of preserving the flavor of fruit and prolonging your enjoyment. This blueberry balsamic shrub makes a wonderful nonalcoholic drink or cocktail!
Think you've tried every flavor combination for strawberry jam? Think again! Shiso leaves add a grassy, minty, anise-like spin on the summer classic.
I experimented at the cottage with a jam thickened with grated Granny Smith apples. It worked so well the judges at Canada's Royal Winter Fair declared the texture "perfect"!
Mulberry season has come earlier and earlier the past couple years to my yard, which means my canning season begins now! One of my favorite mulberry recipes is jam with balsamic vinegar and rapadura sugar, with deep colors and intense flavors.
Blackberry Jam is even more delightful with some strawberries thrown in. During Berry Season it is good to intermingle your berries.

Surprise surge in US dollar hammers Aussie
Page Tools
The dollar lost 11.5 US cents yesterday after the currency was sent reeling in overseas trade on Tuesday night.
At the 5pm close, it was trading at US76.51¢ compared with US77.96¢ on Tuesday.
The dollar faltered along with most other currencies after the US dollar rallied across the board as traders covered their short positions.
Westpac currency strategist Robert Rennie said key base metals were knocked out of sight in London and New York overnight and the Aussie followed suit.
Aluminium, copper and nickel prices slumped about 10 per cent and gold was down about $US2 an ounce.
Mr Rennie said the US dollar's surprise rally caught most market players on the hop.
"The perception was that we would continue to see the US dollar weaken through the early stages of this year," he said. "I think that theory has been put to the side very quickly."
Despite the sharp overnight sell-off, Mr Rennie said there seemed to be reluctance in the Asian time zone to continue the trend.
"The Aussie/kiwi has performed very well," he said. "It does suggest that there is demand for Aussie at these lower levels and while obviously it is very much a US dollar play, it does not feel that the Aussie is going to continue to be smashed overnight."
The dollar as measured by the trade-weighted index was at 62.8 points compared with 63.4 on Tuesday.
The bond market failed to recover from Tuesday's sharp losses, also closing weaker in line with a sell-off in US treasuries overnight.
The benchmark Commonwealth 10-year bond closed on a yield of 5.485 per cent, from 5.455 on Tuesday, while the three-year bond was at 5.305 per cent from 5.285.
The US bond market was sold off sharply after the release of the minutes of last month's US Federal Reserve meeting, which put further US interest rate rises firmly on the agenda.
The Fed indicated that even with December's rate rise, interest rates were still too low. It is widely expected to raise rates again when it meets next month.
Citigroup director and strategist Stephen Halmarick said the Australian bond market traded sideways yesterday following the overnight losses.
"(Australian bonds) lost a lot of ground (on Tuesday) and the US market was weaker overnight and we have basically held those weaker levels throughout the day," he said.
The 90-day bank bill rate was at 5.430 per cent from 5.442 at Tuesday's close, and the 180-day rate was at 5.450 per cent from 5.463.

The Cardinals fined DE Darnell Dockett six figures for an altercation with teammate S Kerry Rhodes, according to Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910.
During last week's loss to the Jets, Dockett allegedly spit at Rhodes, as he objected to the team's plan to let the Jets score. Rhodes denied that a spit occurred.
"It's something that I don't believe in, something that I didn't understand," Dockett said this week, according to The Associated Press. "It was frustrating at the time. At the end of the day, I am never, never going to lay down and quit. I've been playing football for over 20 years. I've given this organization, I've given Florida State, I've given my high school everything I've got. I love the game. I play with passion and I'll never quit."
Juercki also reported that Dockett could have a limited role in this Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Dockett has started all 11 games he has played this season and has 30 tackles, 1½ sacks and four passes defensed.

Oh Seattle, So Much To Answer For (Favorite Seattle Records of 2011)January 1, 2012 at 10:30 pm | Posted in Albums, Best of, Lists, Music, Seattle | 1 Comment
Tags: Boat, Charles Leo Gebhardt IV, Craft Spells, Cute Lepers, Emuul, Gold Leaves, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Seapony, Webelos, Witch Gardens
I took a year off from doing a favorite Seattle records list due to lazyitis (sorry Seattle). Here's my top ten records from my fair city for 2011 (sorry Seattle).
1. Seapony – Go With Me (Hardly Art)
Twee is alive and well in Seattle. Seapony kind of came out of nowhere late last year. They put their debut album out on local label Hardly Art, played countless shows around town and generally put the Northwest back on the map when it comes to indiepop.
mp3: Dreaming
2. Charles Leo Gebhardt IV – Begin Again (GGNZLA)
Leo Gebhardt plays guitar in a few Seattle bands, but it's his solo stuff that really shines. Begin Again was his second release for the enigmatic Seattle label GGNZLA. Begin Again is full of rollicking and playful, Kinks inspired narratives.
mp3: Chapel of Roses
3. BOAT – Dress Like Your Idols (Magic Marker)
BOAT keep delivering hook laden albums sparked with humor and conviction. Like the Young Fresh Fellows before them, these industrious fellows create unforgettable pop right under the city's collective noses. Dress Like You Idols contains some of the band's best songs yet.
mp3: Forever in Armitron
4. Cute Lepers – Adveture Time (1-2-3-4 Go!)
Adventure Time is Cute Lepers' third (and best) album. It's full of glammy punk rock similar to the Rezillos. Songs full of high fructose corn syrup, actually, no they're probably full of maple sugar, because they're sweet and good for you. Hell, just eat them out of the box with a spoon.
mp3: Misdirected
5. Emuul – The Drawing of the Line (Digitalis)
This record kind of popped up on my radar from nowhere, or maybe it condensed from a passing cloud. Emuul is the latest moniker of Kyle Iman and The Drawing of the Line is hypnotic music that will put you in a dreamlike state. Don't let that fool you, there are pop songs under the gauze of this instrumental electronica.
mp3: Expectations
6. Webelos – Shadow Seasons (self-released)
Shadow Seasons sounds like it could have come out on Teen Beat back in the early 90's. It's a quirky little fellow with propulsive bass driven songs. Think Unrest, Eggs and the Monochrom Set.
mp3: If You Choose To Stay
7. Craft Spells – Idle Labor (Captured Tracks)
This record was made in a bedroom in Stockton, California, but by the time it came out Justin Vallesteros had relocated Craft Spells to Seattle. Idle Labor is heavily influenced by the romantic synthpop of the 80's. Bouncy, longing pop songs that could make you forget what year it was.
mp3: After the Moment
8. Witch Gardens – Alice, Agatha, Branch, & Christ (self-released)
If ever there was a band meant to be on K records, Witch Gardens is it. This is pure ramshackle pop fun by a band seemingly making it up as they go. I love what they've come up with so far which is primarily this cassette.
mp3: Softball Chick
9. Gold Leaves – The Ornament (Hardly Art)
I loved Arthur & You's In Camera. Sadly, that band seems to be no more, but Grant Olson of the duo returned as Gold Leaves this year and it kind of picks up where Arthur & Yu left off. The Ornament is rich and velvety bringing to mind the cinematic records of Lee Hazelwood.
mp3: The Ornament
10. Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground – Introducing (Suburban Home)
Even living in Seattle, you might not have heard about the second album from Kay Kay & His Weathered Underground. Maybe it was the odd choice of a title for album number two. Whatever the case, there was little pomp around its release especially compared to the first one, and I've yet to see it in a record store in town. Too bad, because it's nearly as good as their debut and goes to the same tin pan alley, psychedelia, kaleidoscopic pop well.
mp3: Oh Lord, I Hate You California
Honorable Mentions:
Pony Time – Pony Time (Per Se) | Shabazz Palaces – Black Up (Sub Pop) | Night Beats -Night Beats (Trouble In Mind) | Erik Blood – Music From the Film Center of Gravity (Self-Released) | Consignment – New Low (GGNZLA) | Telekinesis – 12 Desperate Straight Lines (Merge) | Green Pajamas – Green Pajama Country (Green Monkey)
Seattle RoundupAugust 10, 2011 at 10:58 am | Posted in Music, Round-up, Seattle | Leave a comment
Tags: Cairo, Case Studies, Emuul, Fin Records, GGNZLA, Gold Leaves, Hardly Art, KEXP, Math and Physics Club, Orca Team, Sacred Bones, Seacats, Seapony, The Glasses
Even when you are on vacation the cogs of the city continue to grind. The music may slow down a bit in the hazy shade of the summer months, but it doesn't stop. Seattle radio station to the world KEXP has a summer concert series at the Mural Amphitheatre at the Seattle Center and this Friday's show is an indiepop lover's wet dream. Seapony, Math & Physics Club and Arthur & Yu offshoot Gold Leaves will take the stage this Friday afternoon starting at 6pm. It's free and there's a beer garden. Music is free, beer is not.
Another free summer show I'm looking forward to is Cairo's strangely named Vibrations Festival. With a name like that you would be forgiven for assuming it's a reggae festival. At least it's not called the Positive Vibrations Festival. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's all indierawk man. It all goes down at Veteran's Park on Saturday, 20 August. You can climb the stairs to the water stand pipe and walk through the conservatory between sets from Grass Widow, Charles Leo Gebhardt, Purple & Green, Flexions, Metal Chocolates, Stephanie, Witch Gardens, and Seapony (again).
All of the above is well and good if you live around here. If you don't, just know that Seattleites think summer is when the temperature reaches 70 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun makes an appearance for at least 15 minutes in a 24 hour period. What do you do besides suffer from Seasonal Effective Dissorder year round? Listen to music I guess.
The Glasses are about to release their third album and in the absence of Tullycraft they are taking over the crown of the Emerald City's writers of undeniable, saccharine-twee songs. Their new record is called Love Is Queer and they play a record release show down in Georgetown on Friday, 26 August. Grab the album for free over at their bandcamp page.
mp3: The Glasses – Love Is Queer
It's not often that a new label is birthed around here so we should all give thanks for Fin Records which has a bunch of 7-inch singles available for your consumption. My favorite so far is the Seacats single. Both songs are plucked from the band's Metal Music album that came out a few months back, but sometimes it's nice to have the best songs on a slab of wax and that is what Fin Records has done. Seacats evoke a bunch of NW bands. Long Winters, Boat, Modest Mouse and Young Fresh Fellows all come to mind. What are you waiting for?
mp3: Seacats – We Don't Sleep (from the single in Fin Records)
The Dutchess and the Duke have ceased to be, but as you may have heard, the Duke Jesse Lortz has a new thing he's calling Case Studies. It's not a far cry from his previous band. The album is about to be released on Sacred Bones. It was recorded in the rain shadow of Sequim (pronounced Skwim) over on the Olympic Peninsula with the help of some Crystal Stilts.
mp3: Case Studies – Lies (from The World Is Just a Shape to Fill the Night on Sacred Bones)
Supposedly Arthur and Yu are still a thing, but Grant Olson has put that band on ice for the time being and donned the moniker Gold Leaves. The Seattle Weekly wrote a nice piece on the album where Olson describes the record as his R & B, doo-wop, country record. If you appreciate obscurities like Fred Neil, Moose, Jack Nitzsche, and Jim Sullivan then this record is meant to be in your house.
mp3: Gold Leaves – Cruel/Kind (from The Ornament on Hardly Art)
Not quite Seattle (though I hear they're trying to trade up to Seattle from Portland), Orca Team have a cassette release on Seattle label GGNZLA. Kissing Cousins is more of their uncanny 50's zombie sock hop vibe. Not only are they good, but apparently they are prolific as well.
mp3: Orca Team – Michael (from Kissing Cousins on GGNZLA)
When making a mix tape I always liked to put a mellow song at the end. For this post Seattle's Emuul provide that effect. Emuul is the moniker that Kyle Iman goes by. His new EP The Drawing of the Line isan excercise in how to be sublime. It will pick you up and set you on a pillowy cloud, massage your temples and put you in a dreamlike state.

Honeywell Appoints New Leadership for Americas Fire and Sensing Business
Honeywell announced Wednesday it has appointed Gary Lederer to lead Honeywell Life Safety (HLS) for the Americas, as well as oversee Honeywell Fire Systems and System Sensor, both part of the Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions' Life Safety business.
February 19, 2013
NORTHFORD, Conn. — Honeywell announced Wednesday it has appointed Gary Lederer to lead Honeywell Life Safety (HLS) for the Americas, as well as oversee Honeywell Fire Systems and System Sensor, both part of the Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions' Life Safety business.
Lederer will report to Honeywell Life Safety President Mark Levy. Under Lederer, Todd Rief will lead Honeywell Fire Systems Americas and Tom Potosnak will continue to lead System Sensor Americas.
Lederer joined Honeywell in 2000 with the acquisition of the Pittway Corp. He has held leadership positions at System Sensor and Honeywell Environmental and Combustion Controls and, most recently, led the HLS Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Fire Systems business.

Texas dad "remorseful" after catching man molesting his daughter and beating him to death
posted at 9:00 pm on June 12, 2012 by Allahpundit
The case is headed to a grand jury but this guy's more likely to land on Barbara Walters's couch than in prison. I'd be surprised if there's a GJ in America that would indict him; if there is, lord knows it's not in Texas. Here's the relevant statute in the state's penal code. Not a close call:
(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or
(B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery…
(c) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the deadly force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the deadly force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the deadly force is used is not required to retreat before using deadly force as described by this section.
That provision covers the use of deadly force when you're the one being attacked; the next section in the code extends the use of deadly force to defending someone else so long as the same conditions as the above are met. In other words, if a woman (or little girl, in this case) is entitled to defend herself by killing the man who's trying to rape her, a third person who's coming to her aid is entitled to do so too. In theory, a father might not be entitled to use force if he stumbled upon the molestation and the molester stopped and begged for mercy; deadly force is protected legally as a means of ending an attack (or preventing one that's imminent), not punishing an attacker for something he just did. But c'mon — is there a man or woman alive who'd vote to convict on a murder charge with a fact pattern like that? Morally, this will be treated as justifiable homicide whether or not it's technically self-defense by proxy — which, to be clear, I think it is here — and any jury would strain mightily to find that it qualified under the definition for the latter. Exit quotation: "He got what he well deserved."

Man Saves Baby From Triple Fatal Fire
Monday's triple fatal house fire in Evansville was a tragic result of arson. Now, a story of heroism surfaces in light of the story
A little girl is alive and well after a man inside that burning home whisks her to safety. Twenty-three year old, Dustin Vacha, says he shared the apartment with the three victims; his grandfather Donald, his cousin Keri, and her two daughters. None of the three made it out of the fire alive. It's all very tragic, but one life was saved, and in the nick of time.
"I try to sleep at night, but all I hear is Keri saying 'get my babies out.' I'm just lost." Dustin Vacha flashes back to Monday's fire that claimed three loved ones lives. Standing here today, Vacha says he doesn't feel like a hero, but his quick thinking saved a three year old's life that day.
"I put Cierra out of the window and held her there, not wanting to let her go because I didn't want to hurt her." Vacha says he held baby Cierra for as long as he could. The second story window was the only way out. Vacha says his Uncle Mike, and another resident, had already made it outside. With seconds to spare, Vacha passed her to his uncle, and Cierra was safe.
Vacha says he turned back to a black apartment, but jumping to safety was not his next move. "I went back in to try and find Keri and Jazmine, and I couldn't find them. I looked for her until I couldn't look anymore. I took my last breath and I dove out the window head first," says Vacha.
He remembers seeing thirty-one year old, Christopher Compton, visiting shortly before the flames. When the flames erupted, Compton was gone. Compton is charged with setting the home on fire. "Keri was sitting on my bed, she said she smelled smoke," Vacha says. Within minutes they were fighting for their lives. "They were yelling get out fire, get out fire."
Vacha says he wishes he could have saved the others including his grandfather Donald Lankford. "I feel like I should have done more."
"They are innocent, beautiful, they are my everything." Though Vacha couldn't save them all, he knows Cierra will understand his strength. "That's my Dustin, that is what she will say, that's my Dustin."
The family says baby Cierra is currently in the hands of Child Protective Services. The family says a vigil will be held at the home where the fire occurred, Saturday at 7 pm.

Read my review - 5/5 stars
What I did
Swam and vegged out.
A little expensive to eat n drink here but never mind. This was 5 star luxury. Big room on the floor below the top floor, with an amazing view of the strip. Huuuge comfy beds and an awesome bathroom with a phone in it!
The food was really tasty (we ate at the Chinese place again as it seemed to be the cheapest place there) and the food, setting and staff were top notch apart from the stupid bar maid who tried to take the piss out of our accents. Yorkshiremen don't appreciate that shit, and she got told.
The pool was amazing, 3 different pools including a wave pool and a lazy rapids
After a day in the sun getting pissed and letching at bikini ladies we went to get changed for a night out, got all ready n then passed out on our respective beds, only to wake up at midnight realising we had very little money and little in the way of will to go out: FAIL.
I ordered the biggest steak sandwich I could get to console myself (check the pics), and it worked a treat. In all honesty I don't think I could've faced another night on the Strip, especially with no money and a 9am flight the next morning so we sacked it off and went to bed. It was a mildly disappointing end to an amazing trip, but that was a tiny part of a trip of a lifetime and was never going to spoil the holiday as a whole. I will stay in Vegas again one time, and I will rinse it properly on the Strip, for now though it'll have to wait as I've got SE Asia and the Pacific to take care of first.

Rob tonight abstained on the second reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill in the House of Commons, saying more work was needed to address genuine and obvious concerns before the final version of the Bill is voted on.
Rob acknowledged that the issue is an extremely difficult and sensitive one for many people, and stressed that he had taken time to read the Bill in detail and read each of the hundreds of letters and emails he has received on the matter. Mr Wilson has also held a number of group and individual meetings in his constituency.
Rob said: "Tonight's vote is the beginning of the Parliamentary process on proposals to extend marriage to same sex couples, not the end. After reading the Bill carefully and reading the hundreds of letters and emails I have received and meeting groups and individuals on both sides of the argument, I have voted tonight as a Parliamentary abstention from either backing or opposing the Bill.
"Why did I vote in this way? The Government's Bill is rushed and in my view there are a number of reasonable concerns that need to be dealt with before the Bill is finally voted on at Third Reading. This Bill largely concerns civil marriage, not religious marriages, but the Church and other religious groups could be open to years of legal action if we do not get this right. I have my doubts that the so-called "quadruple lock" is watertight. There are also fears that the legislation may be used against a variety of public sector workers from teachers to hospital chaplains who disagree with same sex marriage as a matter of religious belief. In my opinion, we shouldn't just wave this through and leave people's fears unaddressed.
"I also think it is important that this legislation does not have consequences that are actually unequal. The Government has had to change the name of the Bill because its outcomes currently are not equal. For example, matters of consummation and criteria for divorce will be different between heterosexual and homosexual couples as it currently stands. Furthermore, civil partnership will not be open to heterosexual couples."
"Finally, it is my view that this legislation has proved so controversial that it should have the clear endorsement of the public. I am concerned that this measure was not part of the Conservative Party's manifesto or the Coalition Agreement. It means that the democratic basis for such a major piece of social legislation is regrettably thin and the Government should have done more to seek democratic legitimacy for this measure. None of the political parties are unanimous on this issue. Some Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs, as well as Conservatives, voted against the Bill today, even though their parties are largely in favour of proposed changes. The Labour Party in Reading is simply wrong to try to turn a conscience issue into a Party political matter without even reading the bill or consulting with and considering all viewpoints."
"I recognise that people care deeply about this issue and I fully respect the positions people have taken. I will be paying close attention to the Bill as it moves through Parliament. The key vote will be at Third Reading (which comes after Committee Stage, report Stage and the Bill's passage through the House of Lords), where I will reassess my position to take account of the amendments and changes that have been made to the Bill, if any. In the meantime I will personally seek to ensure, including through tabling amendments myself if necessary, that as many of the reasonable concerns that have been raised with me are dealt with.
"I can assure my constituents that I am not taking this matter lightly and have done my best to listen to those wishing to express an opinion."

The Ministry of Industry (MoI) awarded a 633 million Br contract to a total of 13 domestic construction companies to develop part of the Bole Lemi Industrial Zone that covers around 156 hectares of land, for investors that have shown interest to build medium and large scale industries including eight South Korean companies engaged in textile and garment sectors.
The ministry, which is entrusted to manage the plots given for industrial purposes, selected the companies out of 26 contractors along with the Ministry of Urban Development & Construction (MoUDC), Ethiopian contractors Association (ECA) and MH Consultant, by assessing their previous performances on government projects such as construction of universities and government office.
"This is because a bidding process will take time," Yaregal Misker, Industrial Zone & Environment Safeguard Directorate of the ministry said.
After securing such a waiver from The Public Procurement & Property Administration Agency (PPPAA), a federal agency established to ensure that public money is invested and utilized to maximizes benefit, the ministry evaluated the companies profile and selected seven from grade-one construction companies to undertake the lion's share of the construction and five other companies that have three to five grades licenses.
The first-grade contractors are entrusted to construct standard five factories and four office blocks. Of the five factories two of them rest on 10,000sqm each, while the remaining will occupy 5,000sqm each.
These companies include Teklebrehan Ambaye Construction Plc (TACON), Sahle Mariam Construction, AMB Construction, Rama Construction Plc, TNT Construction and theChinabased CGCOC Ethiopia Ltd.
Two of the largest factories, that cost around 80 million Br, are to be constructed by Teklebrehan Ambaye Construction Company, which is recently awarded for the construction of the tallest branch office of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) onEquatorial Guinea Street, and AMB Construction Plc established in 2006, and currently constructingWollegaUniversity.
Except Rama and CGCOC, the remaining grade one contractors are assigned to construct the three factory shades that rest on 5,000sqm each. Rama is assigned to construct the four offices blocks while the Chinese company is awarded for a 12km of alleyway road construction inside the industrial zone.
The remaining third to fifth grade contractors signed a contract to construct the fence, five lounges, police stations, six guard houses and six toilet and shower houses.
These companies are Haber Construction Plc, United Construction Plc, Fufa Legesse Construction Plc, Kasu Gebretsadik Construction Plc, Amha Sime Construction Plc and Keshamo Construction Plc.
However, some of these companies were not happy with the contract allotment arguing that they are made to construct below their capacity.
"We did not expect a two million Birr contract while the MoUDC certified us for doing up to 20 million Br contract on a yearly basis," Kasu Gebretsadik, managing director of Kasu Gebretsadic Construction Company, awarded to construct the guard houses, told Fortune.
Such a complaint, however, is not accepted by the ministry.
"We cannot give one factory shade for more than one company since it is not convenient for us to manage," Yaregal told Fortune.
In fact the job could have been done by a single contractor. It is because the government wants to finish the works as quickly as possible that it hired this many, he argues.
Unlike the other contractors, grade-one contractors that are expected to finalize the five factory shades and office blocks within three months were displaying frustration over the deadline.
"This is going to be historic for us," Seifu Ambaye, deputy general manager of TACON told to Tadesse Haile, state minister of Industry, at the event of the signing ceremony held at the headquarters of MoI located in General Tito Street on Thursday November 15, 2012.
The responsibility that we shoulder did not seem to match with the period of time that we are given; however, we will try our best to make it happen, Saifu promised at the ceremony with frustration.
Tadesse, nevertheless, was not in the mood to entertain their frustrations, asserting to the contractors instead that they were perfectly capable of fulfilling their responsibilities.
"It is with critical evaluations that you are selected and we believe in your capacities," Tadesse told the contractors.
The ministry's urgency, however, is prompted by the delay of the project, according to sources at the ministry.
The development of Bole Lemi industrial zone was first instructed by the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi after his trip to Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, where he lobbied the Korean investors to invest in Ethiopia amplifying the investment opportunities in the country in the last fiscal year.
Although his instruction to the ministry was to make the area ready for the investors in September 2012, it was not realized though the ministry contacted the construction companies in June, 2012.
"The plan was to conduct the construction until August and make it ready for September," Mengistu Hailu, general manager of United Construction Plc, awarded to construct the lounges told Fortune. But since we did not contact us, thereafter, we even thought that the project is postponed for another time.
Confirming that the project has actually delayed, Yaregal from ministry said that the delay occurred because relocating the households who reside in the area has taken a lot of time.
Though, around 180 households are relocated so far, there are still residents in the area who are not yet relocated.
Clearing the whole 157ha of land, the ministry plans to construct around 50 factories fulfilling the necessary infrastructure. The construction process will underway by phases.
Aiming at encouraging the frustrated contractors, Yaregal promised that companies that perform well in the first phase might continue working with the ministry for the remaining phases.
The development of the whole Bole Lemi industrial zone is estimated to cost around 1.2 billion Br. However, the ministry might also give plots fulfilling all the necessary utilities and roads without constructing factory shades.
In the utilities sphere, the ministry has already concluded contract agreement with the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EPPCo) for the supply of 20Mw power needed for the area. To date the corporation is erecting electric poles in the zone, according to Tadesse.
Although the industrial zone needs 10,000 cubic meter water on a daily basis, the Addis Abeba Water & Sewerage Authority (AAWSA) also agreed to supply 1,200 cubic metre for the first phase.
If all goes according to the plan, Bole Lemi will be opened, to the South Korean investors who showed interest starting from January 2012. It is open for other local or foreign investors as well.
Interested investors should submit their project proposal to the ministry for evaluation. If a company comes up with a sound proposal, the ministry will offer the area needed for the requested investment.
Companies who are willing to invest in the manufacturing sector and for export purposes will be privileged, according to Yaregal.
The ministry that has received 5,130ha of land for industrial purposes is yet to establish industrial zones in Dire Dawa, Kombolcha, Amhara Regional State; Shinelle, Somali Regional State; Hawassa, Southern Regional State; and Akaki Kality in Addis Abeba.
However, the government aims at developing and administrating these industrial zones by a federal agency, the Ethiopian Industrial Zones Development Corporation (EIZDC). The corporation is expected to be realized in this fiscal year after the parliament approved its establishment proclamation.

Henry Barnard Dance Day Gets Everyone Moving
Henry Barnard School students dance to
Nearly 300 students from Henry Barnard School commandeered the quad last week for a "flash mob dance" they had been rehearsing in celebration of National Sport and Physical Education Week.
The students -- wearing matching outfits of jeans, white t-shirts and sunglasses -- were led by a team of RIC physical education students in dancing to One Direction's hit song "What Makes You Beautiful." Dozens of parents, teachers and staff members from Henry Barnard School and Rhode Island College joined in.
"We had a ball with it," said Lou Lloyd-Zannini, principal of the Henry Barnard School, a laboratory school based at Rhode Island College.
The Henry Barnard Dance Day was created by Kathleen Johnson, an assistant professor of health and physical education at Rhode Island College, with help from Kristen Vito-Silva, a first grade teacher at HBS.
It stemmed from a discussion Johnson and Vito-Silva had during the faculty retreat last fall, when they were talking about the correlation between learning and movement. They decided to try to come up with a way to get all of the students in the school involved in a dance project.
"We said, `Wouldn't it be great if we could do something like this?' And I said, `We can make it happen!' I would love to create this with my students and set it up," Johnson said.
It became one of the projects for the students in her Rhythmic Movement class: Jack Adamo, David Banda, Bryant Cleary, Michael Haggerty, Kyle Harper, Eric Korytkowski, Anthony Manfredi, Anthony McDermott and Jamey McIntyre.
Johnson said she selected the song "What Makes You Beautiful" because it is popular among young children. The students create and taped the dance moves, and the tape was shared with the staff at Henry Barnard School.
Teachers and parents were invited to practice the dance moves with their children. Paul Janaway, the physical education teacher at HBS, also incorporated the dance moves into his physical education classes with the children, Johnson said.
Janaway also came up with the idea of having the children wear matching outfits when they performed their dance on May 3, as part of National Sport and Physical Education Week, which runs from May 1 to 7, Johnson said.
The students had a brilliant spring day for their performance, which was filmed by a local television station. (See the clip from WJAR NBC10 here.) Johnson and her students led them through the dance moves they had rehearsed, then followed by inviting everyone to join them in improvised versions of the "Macarena," "The Chicken Dance" and "YMCA."
"They were very excited," Johnson said of the students. "... We're just so proud of the students, the parents and everyone else -- my students, too -- just for being up there and being out there with the students, promoting lifelong movement and physical activity."

The nine-minute-plus gas station heist video draws inspiration from films like the classic Point Break (use of the dead president mask) and 2011 thriller Drive (excessive gore and the driver's explicit time-keeping). At the video's open it appears that Killer Mike is about to hold up a convenience store, but about halfway through it takes a surprising and gruesomely bloody turn. Pow motherfucker, indeed.

Before You Double Up On Degrees Think TwiceElias Levenson
Getting an MBA from a quality institution can be a two-year battle. So why would any sane individual want to endure what might well be called an MBA for masochists--a joint-degree program that will allow the truly ambitious to earn two advanced degrees simultaneously?
With the hunt for MBA students ever more competitive, business schools are aggressively expanding joint-degree offerings in hopes of attracting hypermotivated people eager to complete grueling courses of study. By doubling up, students can earn two degrees in less time than it would take to gain them separately. They can also chop off about a year's tuition for the second degree.
SCRUTINY. Besides the more typical programs that grant a degree in law or medicine along with an MBA, schools are creating a variety of new combinations. MBAs with manufacturing, nursing, or environmental studies are among the most recent combos, reflecting the growing concern with the business side of these fields. The University of Southern California has come up with one of the quirkiest: an MBA with a PhD in dental surgery.
Before you even consider a dual degree, be forewarned that such programs require far more effort than a straight business diploma. Indeed, simply getting accepted to such programs can be a chore. Most universities require students to apply separately to both the business school and the second school of interest. Admissions directors heavily scrutinize those applications. "We are much more critical of a joint-degree applicant's motivation," says Steve Christakos, director of admissions at Northwestern University's J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management. "We want to know why they want both skill sets. On placement, I think companies are doing the same thing."
Once through the doors, you can expect to pay plenty for the privilege of working yourself silly. At Harvard University, it costs $85,960 and four years of study to gain an MBA with a law degree, almost twice as much as an MBA alone (but $20,940 less than if you earned them separately). It must be noted that most joint-degree tracks require one, two, or even three more years to complete than the conventional two-year MBA, forcing joint-degree seekers to pay more in tuition along with the cost of losing a year or more of work.
GRILLING. If you think such a huge investment will land you a higher-paying job, think again. The starting salaries of joint-degree graduates are rarely more than those of their single-degree MBA counterparts, according to placement officials. This year, three 1994 joint-degree graduates out of eight registered their starting salaries with the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business Administration. The average: $58,200, nearly $6,000 less than the average fetched by Darden's MBA grads.
While some students contend that an extra degree broadens the range of opportunity for employment, many have to justify to recruiters why they bothered going for a second diploma. "You are grilled harder in some interviews," says Arlene Houston, who is entering her fourth and final year of a joint-degree track in business and law at Duke University. "You often end up spending a lot of time explaining to recruiters why you're getting both degrees."
That's not surprising since the supply of joint-degree graduates is still low: Only a few hundred students are enrolled in these programs nationwide. Stanford University turned out just 26 graduates with dual degrees this year. Northwestern University graduated 11 students, up from five in 1990.
PROMOTIONS? A recruiter at McKinsey, which typically dangles the largest starting-pay packages in front of MBAs, says that, at best, joint degrees have a "neutral to slightly positive" effect on the consulting firm's choices. She adds that regardless of degree, all campus hires enter the company at the same salary and there is no evidence to indicate that joint-degree holders get promoted faster or hold higher positions.
Other grads, after being in the workforce for a few years, often find a combination degree overkill. "Quite honestly, where I am right now, it's kind of like driving a tack with a sledgehammer," says David Donaldson, owner of the Bysiewicz-Donaldson Agency in Manchester, Conn., and a 1987 graduate of the Duke law and business schools. "If I knew in 1983 that I'd be running an insurance agency in 1995, I probably wouldn't have gotten the second degree."
So why would anyone go through the trouble? "Getting a single degree is confining," believes Joel Tauber, a Southfield (Mich.) manufacturing entrepreneur who received separate MBA and law degrees from the University of Michigan. "It does not give you the ability to broaden your horizon." Tauber recently donated $5 million to the university to launch a manufacturing institute that integrates an MBA with a master's in engineering or manufacturing. Michigan now offers 18 MBA-combo degrees, up from 14 five years ago.
But many grad students enter dual programs as a shortcut to gaining two diplomas. Schools generally shave credits off of their MBA curriculum and the second degree, allowing students to gain a pair of advanced degrees while shortening their academic stints by a year. At the same time, the most successful programs integrate the curriculums of the two schools, letting faculty from both disciplines work together to create innovative courses that merge the two fields.
Sometimes that collaboration really pays off. Bentley Kerr, who received his MBA and master's in real estate development from USC this past spring, is working for a diversified real estate company in Brentwood, Calif., and making about 15% more than the average starting salary for USC's MBA graduates. Kerr, who is one of only three 1995 USC graduates with the MBA and real estate joint degree, says he beat out MBAs from Stanford University and the University of California at Los Angeles for his job because his employer "valued the second degree. My course of study opened up a whole new set of opportunities." Carlton Harris, who graduated from Duke in 1980 with business and forestry degrees, got five job offers directly after school and attributes his first promotion in 1983 and 15 successful years with Scott Paper in large part to his joint degree.
PRIORITIES. Still, working on a pair of degrees at once is daunting. Paul Hardy, who is now entering his third and final year of an environmental sciences joint-degree program at Michigan, tackled a full load of MBA courses last year along with 27 hours each week devoted to teaching and research at the school of natural resources. "It has always been too much, but it has never reached the point where I felt like bowing out of the program," Hardy says. He's sticking with it because he believes the extra degree will help him advance more quickly in the environmental field.
Things may not work out the way Hardy hopes they will, however. Administrators and graduates say those seeking a second degree largely to beef up their resumes or fast-forward their march through the corporate ranks have their priorities wrong. "I don't think the extra credential makes it worth it. I think the extra knowledge does," says Michigan Business School Dean B. Joseph White. If you're in it for the added material rewards, you're probably wasting your time.

Lord Davies has discovered it's not so "simples" being the chairman of Chime Communications after the marketing group behind the Compare the Market meerkat TV ads suffered a major investor revolt over pay.
More than 57% of investors failed to back the 2012 bonus scheme and 48% failed to back the remuneration report.
The top shareholder, Sir Martin Sorrell's advertising giant WPP, which holds a 21% stake, abstained. Leaving aside abstentions, a big group of shareholders still voted against, with 39% rejecting the bonus scheme and 30% opposing the remuneration report.
Plans for a new "performance share plan" for the directors also ran into trouble as 34% voted against.
Chime offered no guidance about which investors rebelled. Top shareholders include Fidelity with 10% and JPMorgan Asset Management and Aberforth Partners each with 7%.
The revolt, one of the most significant during this season of annual meetings, will be a blow to ex-Standard Chartered bank boss Lord Davies, who only joined in December as a safe pair of hands.
The marketing group was hit by another revolt a year ago when WPP fought against Chime's decision to spin off public relations arm Bell Pottinger.
Chime owns ad agency VCCP, famed for the meerkat ads, and a sports marketing business, chaired by ex-Olympics supremo Lord Coe.
Lord Davies won plaudits for his 2011 report into the lack of women on boards but needs some female directors at Chime as it has none.Reuse content

Don't know if all DishNetwork people have had this happen, but here in central Oregon, our DishNetwork people opted to NOT pay ABC (or their distributor or whoever it is) a 500% increase to show ABC!!!! I can't believe, in this economic times, that ABC would try for that kind of increase!!! They could pay those actors LESS!!!! So, our local representative had us sign up with another company, All American Direct, to receive ABC thru LosAngeles or Atlanta. This means our local news from Bend won't be shown, but we'll get the shows we like. I was told (and it's in the paper) that ABC won't even negotiate!!!! ABSURB!!!!!
Anyone else having this issue?

You've decided to take a trip by car with your friend. It's been a dream of yours to drive across Canada,
from east to west. But you've never given a thought to insurance.
You're taking your vacation in Canada or the U.S. and decide on a short-term car rental. Adding coverage such as
"Damage to vehicles not owned by the insured" (Endorsement 27) to your
policy can be advantageous. For just a few dollars, it will cover damage to rental cars in case of an accident.
N.B. The coverage this endorsement provides is often the same as the coverage you chose for your
own car. Therefore, you won't have to buy the insurance sold by the car rental company.
Before you hit the road, call your agent or broker. You should check whether you have adequate coverage under your policy.
It may be advisable to increase your civil liability coverage under your policy. Coverage of $2 million could protect
you better in case of an accident. Especially in the U.S., where lawsuits are no trifling matter!
Planning on driving elsewhere in the world? No matter your destination, you must buy insurance from the car rental company.
If you rent or borrow a car in Canada or the U.S., this endorsement provides coverage should you damage the vehicle.
The coverage offered is often the same as the coverage you have for your own car. Most of the time, it's more advantageous
than the insurance offered by the car rental company.
By choosing to hide information from your insurer, your run the risk of not being indemnified should you have an accident, or of just being partially indemnified.

After the longest winter I can remember, it's finally getting nice out in New England and it seems summer is finally around the corner. Along with the weather, the market's interest in social intelligence is heating up, too. I'm filling my days talking to marketers interested in using social media data to inform their business strategies.
As a result of this growing interest, I'm hitting the road in June to share my research. Along with a packed series of client and vendor visits, I have a few events coming up that I hope you can attend:
Posted by Zach Hofer-Shall on May 13, 2011
Social influence is one of the hottest issues for Customer Intelligence and Interactive Marketing professionals today. Not a day goes by that I don't talk with marketers or vendors about how to identify, measure, and utilize influential sources online. But for all the interest, there's not much out there defining or standardizing how influencers work — or what online "influence" even means. As a result, I'm kicking off some new research covering how social media makes it possible to find and engage with your brand's influencers. My last research on this subject — now over a year old — is still one of my most-read reports, proving that there's a need for an update.
As luck would have it, thanks to @SarahSGlass, who's a researcher on our Interactive Marketing team and our Customer Intelligence Community Manager, and @Mike_Grant_FORR, we have a perfect venue to open the discussion around social influence: a tweet jam. Yes, "tweet jam" sounds silly, but it's a great way to connect with others and to share and learn about an interesting topic. Our Interactive Marketing team holds a weekly discussion on Twitter, using the #IMChat hashtag, around certain marketing topics and has had great success so far.
Posted by Zach Hofer-Shall on May 11, 2011
Back in February I announced the introduction of our Customer Intelligence Community -- a place to discuss the news around customer data and the business challenges CI professionals face every day. Over the past few months the community's really started to heat up, with hundreds of new members and many lively discussions, and today I wanted to share some of the highlights.


text: Could someone enlighten me what on earth was that all about? I was not watching most of the ABC coverage (since I was there live!!!!!!!) but I did watch the exhibition piece. Katy Taylor seems to want one and Terry and Peggy mentioned that it was featured at least 3 times during the championship coverage.
