Panaji, July 21: Election of four legislators, including Finance and Health ministers of Goa, was challenged in the Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court here under the Representation of Peoples' Act as the 45-day deadline for filing election petitions ended yesterday.
The petitioners prayed for disqualification of the MLAs on different grounds including irregularities and inducements in the June 2 elections to the Goa legislative Assembly for which results were declared on June 5.
While Finance minister Dayanand Narvekar (Congress) elected from Aldona was charged with indulging in unfair practices and showing lower election expenditure, Health minister Viswajit Rane (Independent), son of former Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane allegedly distributed wrist watches, TV sets and sewing machines in Valpoi.
Mrs Fermeena Khaunte, who had unsuccessfully contested from Aldona filed the petition against the Finance minister while BJP's Puttu Gaonkar against Rane.
Industrialist Anil Salgaocar (Independent), elected from Sanvordem allegedly dug 13 borewells in seven villages to attract voters in violation of the election code, according to petitioner Naresh Shirgaonkar (CPI-M).
In another petition, former minister Somnath Zuwarkar who had unsuccessfully contested from Taleigao against Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate, alleged that the nomination papers of the latter were not valid as he had filed the papers as UGDP nominee even as he was still a member of the Congress at the time of filing the documents.
Informatively, Babush originally filed his nomination paper on Congress ticket but later as the UGDP nominee just before the deadline. He opted to contest on UGDP ticket during scrutiny.

First up Selwyn Manning and Peter Godfrey discuss how it looks like New Zealand's drought in the North Island has broken… : We Have Rain!
Also, Leo Tooman, one of New Zealand's top road cops, is retiring and he says there is more we can yet do to save people's lives on Kiwi roads.
And then there's the issue that wont go away… the Prime Minister seems to have been suffering a bout of brain-fade again. That is until yesterday when he remembered that he had actually telephoned his old childhood friend Ian Fletcher and suggested he apply for the spy agency, GCSB, top job.

I have been on a quest for a true Every-Day-Carry (Every-Duty-Capable) knife that is a fixed blade instead of a folding knife. For years I carried folding knives – from a Damascus Classic Large Sebenza to a Spyderco Micro Dyad, from a Zero Tolerance ZT302 to a Swiss Army Knife and everything in between. While I was happy with their looks and basic functionality, I was never satisfied with how they performed at truly challenging every-day tasks. I didn't like using folding knives around food because stuff would get inside the handle, or it might junk up the blade if it's carbon or damascus steel. I didn't like always having to fold and unfold knives over and over again just to use them for a couple seconds (I actually made sheaths specifically for carrying my folding knives in the open position to avoid this – with mixed results). I also didn't like how the lock *could* fail if pushed too hard…and I ended up using even my toughest folders more gently than I would a similar sized fixed blade. On the other hand, carrying a fixed blade came with it's own difficulties. It presents a much larger presence in a sheath on your belt, is typically heavier…and if you skimp on size to save weight, you end up with an undersized, three-finger handle and/or a shortened blade.
So, that's how this quest began. And what you see below is my answer to this problem: How to EDC (Every-Day-Carry) a Fixed Blade
Here's my solution – you be judge.
1 – a full tang for strength, but it has been drilled out to save weight.
2 – a hollow grind allows for thicker bar stock – these are made from 0.220″ thick 3V. Maximum strength with very little weight added.
3 – a full sized handle measuring 4.5″ long
4 – palm swell and contouring in the handle allows for 3/8″ thick handle materials – fuller grip
5 – "Legal Length" blades – a 3″ blade EDC is 3″ or less no matter how you measure it. (available in 3″, 3.5″, 4″, 4.5″, 5″)
6 – satin finish on the blade and flats – easy to restore with a scotchbrite pad – something everybody already has
7 – handle fronts are tapered to make going in/out of a sheath smooth and easy.
8 – bird's beak designed into the handle butt so the knife can ride deeper in a sheath and provide a more secure grip
Blade Specs:
3V steel – blade length of your choice = 3″, 3.5″, 4″, 4.5″ or 5″, Hardened to 60-61 HRc, 0.22″ thick, Hollow grind, Brushed finish on flats, satin-finish on grind, guard, thumbgrooves, spine rounded at handle front, swedge (not a sharpenable edge or even a false edge)
Handle Specs:
4.5″ long, made from 3/8″ thick handle material; aluminum corby pin and lanyard tube; contouring and palm swell, handles are the same size regardless of blade length
All synthetic handles (Micarta, G10, etc) are heavily sandblasted for a super grippy better-when-wet finish
All natural materials are handsanded to 600 grit and then handrubbed with Briwax
Handle fronts are tapered to allow easy entry/exit in sheaths.
Pricing: (includes kydex sheath)
$230 for the 3″
$245 for 3.5″
$250 for 4″
$275 for 4.5″
$290 for 5″

The police officer never read me my Miranda rights. Can I get my case dismissed?
Miranda rights are to be read after a person is arrested. Most police wait as long as possible to arrest in order for a suspect to say as much as possible. After arrest, if the police want to talk with you, they must read the Miranda rights.
If Miranda is not read, the consequence is that the statements made by the person arrested cannot be used at trial. Your case will not be dismissed. However, if the defendant wants to testify at his own trial the statements can still be used against him for impeachment purposes.
The best thing a person can do when being confronted by the police is to ask for a lawyer and say nothing regardless of whether or not you are under arrest.
If you have been arrested, not read your Miranda rights, and made statements to the police, contact Phoenix Criminal Defense Attorney Aaron Black at 480-729-1683 for a free consultation at 480-729-1683.

When I got home from work today, my buddy was talking to me about Royal Purple. A sales respresentative from Royal Purple was scheduled to show a demonstration of the top 5 leading(mobil 1, lucas oil, etc...) motor oil in the USA and compare all of them against Royal Purple. Basically, Royal Purple is best leading oil to use in any car and will not hurt the engine. It's a long process to type and im lazy to type it all out but, basically watch this video on YouTube and you will understand what my friend saw at work.

Call for Quality School Designs
The Call for Quality School Designs seeks innovative, research-based ideas for reinventing existing schools through the School Redesign Initiative and creating new schools through the Office of New School Models.
The District is guided in each decision by the goals of Action Plan 3.0.
The Call for Quality is an opportunity for educators and innovators to put advances in research, technology, and instructional practice to work in support of ensuring equitable access to high quality education for all students in Philadelphia. To realize this vision, the District intends to establish and nurture new evidence-based school models.
The 2015 New District High Schools Application introduces the process for inviting proposals to design and open innovative high schools to support our most underserved students. This RFQ is part of the District's 2015 Call for Quality School Designs, released in tandem with the School Redesign Initiative. The Call for Quality School Designs seeks the best leadership teams and ideas for starting new and reimagining existing District schools. In the spirit of Action Plan 3.0, it is the District's obligation to help foster, lead, sustain and collaborate on the city's innovation agenda.
If you would like to submit a Letter of Intent for the New District Innovation High schools, visit https://webapps.philasd.org/procurement/view to access the District's Office of Procurement website, Sealed Bid Schedule. Once there, please locate the link for the New Innovation Schools (Bid# RFQ-143), and click on "Request Bid". You will be asked to supply some background information.

The Office of New Schools Models (ONSM) exists to advance innovation at The School District of Philadelphia by supporting the design and development of new and innovative school models that personalize learning and combine significant student supports with high expectations. The work of ONSM supports the District's vision of developing a system of excellent schools that meets the needs of all students and ensures every student has access to a high-quality education.
We envision the City of Philadelphia as a center of education innovation, where every child has access to a world class education that is highly personalized and that prepares young people to be lifelong learners and contributing members of their communities. In support of this vision, ONSM will serve as a research, development, and design hub for education leaders and entrepreneurs who are actively working toward the development of innovative school models that reflect students' needs and encourage flexibility and innovation in educational delivery – a key strategy of Superintendent William Hite's Action Plan 3.0.
We believe school design must be a continuous process. We also believe that design work in education must bring together two critical elements: the experiences and perspectives of the "user" (students, families, educators, and so forth) and the most promising best practices and cutting edge research about what works in preparing young people for success. In short, this is our approach to supporting new school design in our city.
Our Current Work
New District Schools
We are supporting a new, open-admission competency-based middle school that will open in September 2016.
Participatory Research
We are conducting participatory research among students, families, educators, and community members in Philadelphia to learn how we can collectively improve high schools to more effectively meet student needs and to ensure all students leave high school adequately prepared for college, career, and life. This work will be ongoing, and includes interviews, focus groups, surveys, and "design workshops" open to students, parents, educators, and community members. As we deepen our understanding of the needs, wants, and obstacles students and families face, we will work to draw on these insights and perspectives to help shape the design of new district school models.
National Research & Knowledge-Sharing
We are also conducting research nationwide on the most promising evidence-based design elements of high-performing schools that will help inform and shape new school designs. We are working to capture and curate the best of teaching & learning - not only in our city, but across the country - and to share what we learn, observe, and discover along the way.

And yet he says at the end, that he's proud of the movie, and would only like to tighten the first act...
When your making a movie, OF COURSE your thinking about that stuff... ESPECIALLY when your making a summer blockbuster superhero movie!
And beyond that point, it's still him blaming the audience he aimed it at...
He's saying he was aiming it at women, as well as saying he was aiming it at Superman: The Movie nostalgia fans.
I'm a woman, and I didn't like the movie. I know plenty of people who loved Superman: The Movie and it's sequels, and find Superman Returns an awful attempt at following it. So IMO he failed to even achieve what he was aiming for.
The movie failed because it was a bad storyline, with badly written dialogue, terrible casting and a lack of charecterisation IMO.
Not because it was aimed at women, or because it was released in summer and everyone expected a blockbuster.
Just accept that this is the direction they have taken.
Then, you can either decide this version isn't for you and stop watching.
you can decide to enjoy it for what it is - an elseworlds tale.
'In Elseworlds, super-heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.'

AKRON, Ohio – The snow leopard cubs that were born on April 14, 2014, will make their first public appearance on Friday, July 4, 2014. The cubs will be out daily from 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. and as they get bigger they will be out for longer spans of time in the coming weeks. The naming contest has ended and the zoo is still making their final decision on the cubs' names from the 1,478 entries. Their names will be announced prior to them going on exhibit Friday.
Currently at 11 weeks old, the female cub weighs 10 lbs. 14 ounces, and the male cub weighs 9 lbs. 11 ounces. They both are doing well and continue to thrive under the watchful eye of their mother, Shanti. According to their primary keeper, Sarah Kirkman, "The cubs are starting to become more adventurous and working on perfecting their climbing and jumping skills. They have been playing more and more with each other and with Shanti. Shanti has proven to be a very attentive and tolerant mother."
Snow leopards are an endangered species primarily due to loss of habitat, illegal poaching for their pelts and body parts and killings by local herders when a snow leopard has preyed on their livestock. There are less than 150 snow leopards in the SSP in the U.S. and there are believed to be as few as 4,000 left in the wild.

Efforts to add an important Lee's Summit interchange to a list of projects to be financed by a proposed statewide sales tax are getting traction.
A key Mid-America Regional Council committee has endorsed the idea of including the U.S. 50/Missouri 291 South interchange on the project list proposed by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
MoDOT staff has adjusted its prior list to include that interchange just south of downtown Lee's Summit, which is also known as the Jefferson Street Bridge.
The first draft left it off, despite the city having a plan with the state to cost share for the project.
Mark Dickey, vice president of the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce, said MoDOT's District Engineer Daniel Niec at the June 27 meeting of the chamber's Governmental Relations Committee told its members the project was added because of public comments it had requested on its draft list.
The final list still needs approval from the Missouri Transportation and Highway Commission, which is to vote on the issue July 9.
Amendment 7 would amend the Missouri Constitution and levy a three-quarter cent sales tax for 10 years to finance transportation projects including bridges, roads, rail, pedestrian and bicycle and ports.
The chamber and Lee's Summit leaders had been suggesting residents contact MoDOT and ask the agency to add the interchange.
"We're very excited about that, we thank everybody who sent a comment," Dickey said. He said rebuilding the 50-year-old bridge and interchange is important for safety, to relieve congestion and economic development.
Dickey said Niec told the committee MoDOT got about 1,000 responses to its earlier proposed list which had left off the Lee's Summit project. It got 150 specifically from the Lee's Summit area.
The Governmental Relations Committee decided it would recommend the Chamber's Executive Board endorse the sales tax. It is to decide that July 16.
The Mid-America Regional Council's Total Transportation Policy Committee also has thrown its support to putting the interchange on the project list, Mayor Randy Rhoads announced in an email July 1. He said in that message that at a special meeting that committee added the interchange to its list of projects it wants to be financed by the sales tax.
Brad Cox, chairman of the Lee's Summit Economic Development Council, said his group also was thankful for those in the community who took time to let MoDOT know the intechanges is an extremely important initiative.
"It puts us back in place to really accomplish some great development and redevelopment over the next few years and hopefully stem the tide of deterioration at that intersection, that's due mainly to lack of access," Cox said.
MARC's recommendation is not to be confused with a different proposal for MARC approval of funds for the interchange, under a different financing plan.
The state and the city are working on federal funding for the interchange with money funneled through MARC, but that decision would be made probably in August, said Dena Mezger, Acting Director of Public Works.
MoDOT and the city have agreed to split the cost of the 50/291 project and Lee's Summit voters have approved a $10 million bond issue to cover the city's share of the project.

Panasonic's DMC-GF2 digital camera is aimed at folks who want point and shoot portability, with the ability to switch lenses, as on an SLR.
The compact $699 camera has a slew of goodies that serious photographers drool over — such as a hot shoe for an external flash, manual exposure controls and full 1080p video. You could even shoot in 3-D with the optional $299 HFT012 3-D lens.
The GF2 falls into the "micro-four-thirds" line of models from Panasonic and Olympus that ditch the mirror and use a slighter smaller image sensor to get into a tinier form factor.
However, the camera doesn't fit into the pocket, as Sony's line of NEX sub-compact/interchangeable lens cameras do. The new GF2 is smaller than the previous GF1 model, but it's still too bulky to be anywhere than around your neck. I took it along on a recent trip to New Zealand.
While the image quality is fine, my main problem with the camera is the controls.
Everything is on a touch screen, which is acceptable with a point and shoot where you compose most everything in automatic, but when you want to switch from manual to aperture priority or change the ISO settings, fiddling with the LCD can dramatically slow the process down.
Another thing to consider with a new system such as Panasonic and Olympus's is the availability of lenses. There are just 10 available for the Panasonic G cameras, and only three are decent in less than standard light (i.e., non outdoors.) — a 14mm 2.5, a 20mm 1.7 and a 45mm 2.8.
Panasonic needs some major improvement there.

Initial reports stated that the officer was shot with his own gun after the suspect took it during the initial struggle, but I am not seeing that in this article. I am starting to wonder if this was friendly fire.EVANS, Colo. -- A Weld County deputy was killed Tuesday morning following a shootout and high-speed chase with a suspect in a domestic violence and robbery case. The suspect also died hours after the gun battle.
The slain deputy was identified as 43-year-old Sam Brownlee, by Weld County Sheriff John Cooke. Cooke said Brownlee had been with the department for five years. He was married in June 2009.
"There was a house that caught on fire here in Weld county and he entered the house while it was still on fire to see if there was anybody in there that needed to be rescued. It turned out there wasn't. But the mere fact that he would go into the house while it was still burning to try and rescue anybody just goes to the type of man that he was," Cooke said.

Friends began posting condolences on Brownlee's Facebook page Tuesday afternoon.
One said, "I will always love you buddy! You are in my heart forever." Another friend wrote, "Thank you. For everything. You will be dearly missed," and another posted, "We are all heartbroken today. It was a privilege to know you Sam...a man with a heart of gold."
Brownlee and the suspect, Ruben Reyes, 20, of Fort Morgan, were rushed to North Colorado Medical Center after the shooting, where Brownlee was pronounced dead.
Reyes died at 4:15 p.m., 6½ hours after the shootout. Police said Reyes had been shot but the coroner would rule on the cause of death.
Witnesses Describe Gun Battle
Sheila White was getting to ready to hang Christmas lights outside her home when she heard a car careening into her Evans neighborhood. She saw the black vehicle turn the corner and noticed that its front tire was flat and it was followed by several police cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring.
The vehicle stopped and the officers yelled several times at the suspect to get out the car, White said.
"They had pulled guns, rifles, everything when they came around the corner and jumped out of their cars," White said. "That scared me so I immediately went back into the house. I didn't want to get hit by stray bullets."
"Immediately, the cops swarmed the car. There's about seven or eight cops all around the car with guns pointed at the driver," said Christina Goss, who lives next door to the shooting scene.
The driver, a young Hispanic man with a bald head, "reached into the back seat and all of sudden we heard gunshots, like five, six gunshots going off," Goss said.
"Someone grabbed the kid, they pulled him from the car and slammed him down on the street. You could see his head bouncing on the ground," she said, adding that about five officers wrestled the driver to the ground.
"Right next to him was the cop that was shot," Goss said.
She said she saw another deputy used his body to shield the injured deputy's body during the shootout.
"Another officer straddled (the wounded officer), held a gun straight up in the air and fired a shot," she said. "I don't know if this was a signal that one of the officer's was done or what. But four or five more officers came running up."
Officers frantically called for medical assistance after reporting "officer down, officer down!"
"Code 5, we need paramedics. Code 5, we need paramedics, now!" they radioed.
Several officers took turns doing CPR on the wounded officer, who was bleeding badly, witnesses said.
The driver on the ground appeared unconscious, Goss said.
"They checked the kid that was lying on the ground. They grabbed the sleeve of his jacket and his arm was just limp," Goss said. "He was bald-headed and you could see there was no color in his head. He was lifeless."
After the ambulances transported the officer and suspect, she said, a state trooper who had treated the fallen officer "came into our house and washed the blood off his hands."
Goss said there was a jackknifed silver truck with a trailer at the scene. Two Hispanic girls exited the pickup truck and began crying when they saw the suspect, she said.
They were just screaming, Goss said.
"One of the girls that tried to stop everything was crying hysterically," White said.
Chase Exceeded More Than 100 MPH
The incident began as a domestic violence call at 9:45 a.m., said Fort Morgan police Lt. Darin Sagel.
The female victim told police that the suspect took her car from the 1500 block of E. Burlington Street in Fort Morgan. That is the address of Cargill Meat Solutions. Fort Morgan police put out an alert for authorities to be on the lookout for a black 2006 Nissan Altima.
A Wiggins police officer spotted the vehicle on Highway 34, heading west toward Greeley, Sagel said.
The Wiggins police officer and a Morgan County sheriff's vehicle chased the car from the west end of county, near County Road 2, to the Weld County border, said Morgan County Sheriff Jim Crone.
Crone explained that the officers continued the pursuit for 35 miles, at speeds exceeding 100 mph, because of "suspicious activity on behalf of the suspect."
Dispatch tapes show dispatchers warned pursuing officers about the driver during the chase.
"From Morgan County, be advised this party has made talks of suicide, does not want to go back to prison. As of this time we do not know of any weapons in the vehicle ... does have gang affiliation," a dispatcher radioed to to pursuing officers.
Weld County Deputies Take Over Chase
Weld County deputies got involved in the pursuit around 10:35 a.m., when the chase stretched into the Greeley-Kersey area, said Greeley police Sgt. Joe Tymkowych.
He continued to speed and at times, was driving on the wrong side of the road, witnesses said. At some point, the Colorado State Patrol deployed a stop stick to flatten his tires.

The chase ended at 11:02 a.m. in the Cave Creek subdivision, at Cedar Lane and Coyote Lane, within the Evans city limits, Tymkowych said.
"Shots were exchanged, a confrontation occurred. The deputy went down, a suspect went down," Tymkowych said during a Tuesday morning media briefing.
He said the chase involved officers from Fort Morgan police, Weld and Morgan County sheriff's offices, Colorado State Patrol and Greeley and Evans police.
Beverly Elzey said she was inside her home when she heard about five or six gunshots within 30 seconds.
"I grabbed my son because my son was screaming. He was very scared," Elzey said. "We just stayed near the couch on the floor because we didn't know where the shots were coming from. I was not about to go look outside."
First Deputy Killed In 70 Years
This may be the first time a Weld County deputy has been killed in the line of duty in 70 years. According to the Officer Down Memorial Website, Weld County Deputy Sheriff Earl J. Bucher was killed by gunfire on Dec. 31, 1940. Bucher was answering a domestic violence call on New Year's Eve when he was shot and killed by a man who had just killed his own wife.

Reyes has a criminal history, including July convictions for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and underage drinking in Morgan County, according to Colorado Bureau of Investigation records. He was convicted of felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon in February.
Reyes, who went by the street names, "Demon" and "Smiley," also had previous arrests for assault causing serious bodily injury and driving under the influence of drugs, according to CBI records.
Greeley police have taken over the investigation because Evans police, Weld County Sheriff's Department, Fort Morgan police, Wiggins police, Morgan County Sheriff's Office, and Colorado State Patrol were all involved in the case.
A birth announcement posted in the Fort Morgan Times lists Reyes as the father of baby born last June at the Colorado Plains Medical Center. The mother of the child was undergoing questioning at the Weld County Sheriff's Office at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

STUNNING! Who is she, a character of yours? Either way you did great.
Man, Imagine Belle Morte and Queen Andias in the same room, would they try to kill each other or become really ood friends? Lol.
divina, davvero, non so come definirla diversamente complimenti davvero compatriota
You capture what the character's look like I love it
ufff!!! good
Beautiful! I love you take on Belle Morte.
I love this picture, except Belle Morte was waist length, dark, wavy hair. Other than that, perfect!
Wow this is a super cool rendition of Belle! I can't believe it! I love what she's wearing! She looks seriously french! I thought her hair was a richer brown though? Because Anita comments how they look sort of similar in one of the books.
i love the detail in this drawing. The coloring is absolutely amazing. I could totally see Belle Morte wearing that dress.
she looks like the bitch she really is on the inside... i hate her!
Not how I pictured her, but very good all the same
Gorgeous detail and colour. I love the sultry exotic feel. And that corset design is amazing!
Wow!... Just wow!
ok I apsolutely love the corset. The colors are wonderful and I can immagine this being so Belle. Her hair was darker according to the books, like as dark as Anita's but given that this is Belle and she's the type that would go to balls, that could just as easily be an expensive wigg she'd wear to look fabulous, that is the sort of thing they would do like 400-500 years ago.
um... doesn't she have black hair?
I have read it long time ago, but I have a picture of woman with long black hair in my mind, for some reason...

In tackling vexing social problems like homelessness, chronic unemployment, and juvenile delinquency, on which progress may take years to achieve, one encounters common difficulties: Many state and local governments lack the funds needed to invest in innovative new programs — especially at times when existing programs are being cut. And when it comes to prevention efforts in public health and other areas, the costs must be borne in advance, whereas the benefits may not come until much later.
A new approach to financing preventive investments, called "social impact bonds," can potentially overcome these and other barriers, offering the prospect of swifter progress in ameliorating social ills. The Kennedy School is at the forefront of the effort to bring social impact bonds into greater use, with Professor Jeffrey Liebman and a team of current and former students affiliated with his Social Impact Bond Technical Assistance Lab (SIB Lab) leading the way.
The SIB model, Liebman explains, overturns the normal formula for funding social programs in two ways. First, government pays for results achieved rather than for services provided. Second, because private investors, rather than the government, "provide the up-front capital and absorb most of the risk," he says, it becomes possible for cash-strapped governments to make investments in preventive services.
Here's how the idea works: A government enters into a contract with a private sector intermediary that specifies a schedule of payments the government will make if outcome targets — such as reduced recidivism or higher third-grade reading scores — are achieved. The intermediary recruits service providers to achieve the outcomes and raises funds from a combination of commercial and philanthropic investors to finance the service providers' operating costs. If the outcomes are achieved, investors get repaid their capital plus a return.
This arrangement could be advantageous in several ways. First, there's the prospect of improved performance, because all partners in the project will be focused on achieving the target outcomes. The model can also spur the adoption of novel solutions, says Liebman, "because the risk of wasting taxpayer dollars if the new strategy fails is transferred to the private sector." Financing through social impact bonds can encourage greater investment in preventive services, an area that's often underfunded owing to constraints on government budgets. Although funding through individual government agencies has often led to the compartmentalization of problems, the SIB model — with its focus on results — can promote greater cooperation among disparate agencies and organizations, all working toward a common goal. Finally, notes Liebman, "the model will lead to more rapid learning about what works," because thorough, ongoing program evaluations are automatically built into the process.
While it's easy to understand the government's interest in arrangements that shield it from risk, it's harder to see the upside for investors. In the short run, says Liebman, "there seems to be sufficient enthusiasm about this model from philanthropic foundations and socially minded investors" — organizations and individuals who are not necessarily seeking the maximum financial return but are instead willing to put their money to work to advance a cause. "People accustomed to making grants without having rigorous assessments of their investments find the performance-based focus of this approach appealing," he adds. "And they like being in a partnership with government that can allow successful interventions to scale rapidly." Commercial investors are also starting to show interest, in part because they see a potential market in providing growth capital to successful nonprofits.
Despite its many potential benefits, it is unclear how well the idea will work in practice. But some early indications may be available soon: The first social impact bond programs are now under way in the United Kingdom and New York City. The UK project was launched in 2010, when Social Finance UK raised $7.9 million from investors — both individuals and charities — for a program designed to reduce reoffending by providing intervention services for 3,000 male prisoners exiting Peterborough Prison in England during a six-year period. If the recidivism rate drops by at least 7.5 percent compared with rates at similar prisons, the government will in turn pay the contracted sum to Social Finance, which will pay its investors. In New York City, the Bloomberg administration has created the first U.S. SIB — an initiative that is providing services to 16-to-18-year-olds who are jailed at Rikers Island with the aim of reducing recidivism and related budgetary and social costs.
Despite Liebman's current enthusiasm about social impact bonds, he was skeptical of the idea when he first heard about it in 2010. But after some reflection and digging, he realized that it was interesting enough to be worth further analysis. He spent six months studying the model and writing a paper, published in 2011, that discussed the promise and limitations of this approach while spelling out the practical details that would have to be addressed before it could be implemented. One of his concerns was that state governments wouldn't be able to take on projects of this sort because of the complex performance-based contracts that would need to be worked out and because their staffing was too thin to dedicate time to something so experimental. "I felt that if we couldn't find a way to solve the government capacity problem, it wouldn't happen," Liebman says. "So I decided to provide pro bono help to any state that wanted it and got lucky because Massachusetts was the first state that was interested."
In 2011, he met with the Massachusetts secretary of administration and finance, Jay Gonzalez, to discuss how the state could take advantage of this innovative funding mechanism. As he walked out of Secretary Gonzalez's office, Liebman bumped into a former student, Greg Mennis MC/MPA 2007, who serves as one of Gonzalez's top deputies. Together, Mennis and Liebman arranged for Danielle Cerny, a Rappaport Fellow and MPP student, to spend the summer in Gonzalez's department, helping to move "social innovation financing" (Massachusetts's term for SIBs) closer to reality.
The Commonwealth decided to move forward, and issued a "request for information" to solicit ideas related to social impact bonds. "We received three dozen responses and eventually narrowed them down to two programs — on youth recidivism and homelessness — because those are top priorities for the governor as well as areas where investing in prevention has the potential to produce real budget savings down the road," Cerny says, who is pursuing a law degree from Georgetown along with her MPP. "Plus, Massachusetts has some really innovative service providers in these policy areas."
The youth program will focus on the more than 750 young people who "age out" of the juvenile justice system each year as well as other high-risk youth coming off probation, providing education and employment opportunities to help them make "successful transitions to adulthood." The homelessness program will attempt to find stable housing for several hundred chronically homeless people throughout the state.
When Cerny headed off to law school, in the fall of 2011, Liebman and Mennis recruited two more students, Michael Belinsky MPP 2012 and Angela Wyse MPP 2012, to keep the process going. Belinsky and Wyse's work became the basis for their MPP thesis, or "policy analysis exercise."
With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, Liebman established the SIB Lab at the Kennedy School to conduct research on how governments can foster social innovation and get better results from their social spending. The thinking behind the lab is that the best way to gain insights into the barriers that governments face and the solutions that can overcome those barriers is through the hands-on involvement that comes from providing pro bono assistance to state and local governments. By engaging current students and recent graduates in this effort, the SIB Lab can provide experiential learning as well.
The lab has recently placed full-time "government innovation fellows" in state offices in Massachusetts and New York to help those states staff their SIB policy work. A competition is under way to select four more state or local governments to assist. Ryan Gillette MPP 2012, the government innovation fellow working in the Massachusetts budget office, reports, "The mix of complex analytic modeling and cross-sector team building has made this the ideal first job after the Kennedy School."
Meanwhile, Massachusetts has selected the nonprofit organization Third Sector Capital Partners to serve as the intermediary for the juvenile recidivism project. Third Sector will be responsible for raising the necessary funds from investors, lining up the organizations that will work with the target populations, and making sure the program yields the intended outcomes. Roca Inc., a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that has worked extensively with young men leaving the juvenile detention system, will be the lead service provider. The Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance (MHSA) has been selected as the intermediary for the homelessness project.
The state is presently engaged in contract negotiations with Third Sector and MHSA, striving to get both programs off the ground in 2013. The process is difficult, Gillette admits, "because contracts of this sort haven't been done before. But once we write the first one, we'll have that as a base, so future contracts should go much faster."
Massachusetts is already considering expanding social innovation financing to other areas. "There's a lot of interest in doing something in education," says Gillette. In fact, another Kennedy School student, Katherine Klem MPP 2013, is writing her policy analysis exercise for the state's Executive Office of Education on this very subject. "We know that investing in education can provide states with significant savings down the road, while offering considerable social value," she says. "The challenge is that the savings aren't immediate or direct."
While Liebman and his SIB Lab team are working on the state government end of things, another Kennedy School graduate, Leo Quigley MPP 1992, is playing a key role in the private sector as a director of Social Finance, Inc., a U.S. nonprofit organization whose mission is to mobilize investment capital to drive social change. Social Finance is the sister organization of Social Finance UK.
Efforts in this area are not confined to the United States or the United Kingdom. Another student, Thomas Dermine MPP 2013, is working to establish SIBs in continental Europe — as his policy analysis exercise.
In contemplating the future of social impact bonds, Katherine Klem believes that the Kennedy School is uniquely positioned to advance this idea. "There's this incredible network of students and recent graduates who are working right now — in government, social service agencies, and the finance industry — trying to get social impact bonds up and running," she says. Klem is eager to graduate so that she can start applying social impact bonds in health care, an area in which she sees tremendous opportunities. She's particularly interested in what these bonds could do for smoking prevention — the field she worked in for six years prior to coming to Harvard. "I think this model is only beginning to take off," she says.
Michael Belinsky MPP 2012, Michael Eddy MPA/ID 2012, and Avnish Gungadurdoss MPA/ID 2012 founded Instiglio, a company whose mission is to take the social impact bond model to developing countries. Instiglio has embarked on a partnership with the Colombian state of Antioquia, conducting feasibility studies of programs to reduce the number of school dropouts and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
In December 2012, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) informed Instiglio of its "intent to award" the company a grant for its Colombian efforts through an agency program that "aims to find and support breakthrough solutions to the world's most important development challenges." If the grant is finalized in early 2013, as expected, Instiglio will receive $100,000 from USAID to establish it's "proof of concept" and could potentially receive millions of dollars to implement the founders' ideas in Colombia and elsewhere in the world

Feb. 8, 2003
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- After a two-week training cycle, distance coach George Watts wanted to see some lifetime bests Saturday in the distance events at the Rod McCravy Memorial. The distance Volunteers answered his call five times at Kentucky's Nutter Field House. The theme of improvement continued with two more personal bests in non-distance events and two season bests in various other events.
In the mile, Farragut native Eric Bell whacked seven seconds off his lifetime-best mile run time. Bell took eighth with a 4:10.17 clocking.
Not to be outdone, a quartet of Vols in the 3,000m run lowered their lifetime-best times, as well. Patrick Gildea led the orange contingent with an 8:31.67 offering, about a second and a half faster than he has ever run the race, to take 10th. Scott DeFilippis followed about a blink slower, taking 11th in 8:31.70. DeFilippis shaved about half a second off his previous best. Meanwhile, freshman Ed Davis finished 13th in 8:35.63, also about half a second faster than his previous lifetime best. Freshman Matthew Lapp finished in 8:43.88, about a six-second PR, to earn 19th.
Although, hardly a distance runner, Craig Sutherland likewise offered up a lifetime-best time of 8.29 to take fifth in the 60m hurdles. Meanwhile, decathlete Blake Sabo cleared 14-0 for a personal record in the sometimes pesky pole vault Friday night.
Newcomer Joakim Daun posted a season-best time of 1:52.91 to take eighth in the 800m run. The other season-best effort came courtesy of Farragut's Kevin Yeager with a 6-2, 12th-place finish in the high jump.
In all, Tennessee got what it sought at the Rod McCravy Memorial--improvement in the distance events and a well-rounded workout to help its decathletes prepare for the SEC pentathlon at the end of the month.
More Vols will take to the track and field Sunday at the Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU begins one of the toughest portions of its schedule at a venue that has been very friendly over the years as the Hilltoppers (13-11, 3-3) welcome No. 11 Louisville (17-6, 2-1) to the Bowling Green Ballpark Wednesday evening. Originally scheduled for Tuesday evening, the contest has been pushed back to Wednesday at 5 p.m. due to projected weather conditions.
WKU has never lost a regular-season game at the Bowling Green Ballpark, sporting a spotless record of 6-0 at the downtown venue. All six of those wins have come over Louisville or Kentucky, with all three victories over the Cardinals coming when they were ranked Top 25 nationally. The Hilltoppers have averaged 11.5 runs per game at Bowling Green Ballpark while holding opposition to 4.8 runs per contest.
|Western Kentucky
Lousiville, Ky.
Wednesday's game will be WKU's second versus a Top 25 team this season and the first of four games against Top 25 teams this week. After dueling with the No. 11 Cardinals, WKU heads to top-ranked Louisiana-Lafayette, who currently has the nation's longest winning streak at 12 games. WKU is 1-0 against Top 25 teams this season after defeating No. 4 Vanderbilt 3-2 on Feb. 25.
The Hilltoppers split the regular-season series with the Cardinals in 2013, winning 6-5 in walk-off fashion at home and dropping a 6-2 contest in Louisville. WKU has won three-straight home games against Louisville, with all three coming victories coming at the Bowling Green Ballpark.
Sophomore right-hander Josh Bartley (2-2, 5.59 ERA) will start on the mound for the Hilltoppers. Bartley was credited with the win in last year's win over Louisville after tossing a hitless ninth inning with one strikeout. Louisville has yet to decide on its starting pitcher.
WKU enters the week with a .277 batting average and is led by junior catcher Ryan Messex, who ranks fourth in the Sun Belt Conference with a .362 clip at the plate. Senior outfielder Regan Flaherty, who drove in the winning run off Louisville All-American closer Nick Burdi in last year's win, is currently in the midst of a career ling 13-game hitting streak. Senior second baseman Scott Wilcox leads WKU with 15 RBI while junior first baseman Ryan Church tops the team charts in hits (26), homers (4) and total bases (43).
Louisville is batting .292 as a team and its lineup is spearheaded by the combination of Jeff Gardner and Grant Kay, who have combined for a .361 batting average and 56 RBI in 23 games.
Students attending Wednesday's game have the chance to win a free iPad mini by entering a drawing at the marketing table on the concourse level near the main entrance. The iPad mini will be given away in the seventh inning. Bowling Green Ballpark will open its gates at 4 p.m. with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. For tickets and more information on WKU Baseball, call 1-800-5 BIGRED, follow the team on Twitter at @WKUBaseball or visit WKUSports.com.

In my last post I wrote about how moms need desks. Now I'm imploring moms, dads, students, seniors, space aliens–anyone who will listen…
When a prospective client tells me of their paper challenges, one of the first questions I ask is, "Do you own a file cabinet?"
They often reply…
"File cabinets are really ugly."
"I have a plastic one that broke."
"File cabinets are just expensive boxes."
These statements bring a tear to my eye. I love my file cabinet. I've had the same one for fourteen years and I work it hard. I've decorated it with magnets and pictures of my kids to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I've opened and closed the two drawers more times than I can count. But, most importantly, my file cabinet helps me attain a high level of paper organization so I can locate what I need in a matter of seconds.
My personal preference is a metal file cabinet. I know they are kinda ugly. I know they make a room look 'office-y.' But they FUNCTION WELL. And functionality is vital especially if you'll be in and out of your file cabinet daily. I have seen file cabinets where the drawers stick or they don't pull out all the way making files in the back unreachable. I have seen wooden ones chip and plastic drawers fall off the track. Problems like these make it more challenging to file and find your papers when you need them.
If ugliness is the only thing keeping you from purchasing a metal file cabinet then I say—buy the nicest one you can find and start decorating it. If price is an issue, buy one from craigslist or a company going out of business.
But make sure…
• Drawers slide in and out easily
• It has high sides for hanging folders
• Hanging folders slide back and forth easily over the high sides
• It is large enough to hold the amount of papers/files you need in a particular room. Think about whether you need a letter or legal sized cabinet. Plus, the deeper the cabinet, the more paper it holds!
And just like a desk, measure your space before you buy… that goes for you space aliens, too. Ever try to get a file cabinet through the door of a spaceship?

Customer service has been the building block of any business since the beginning of mercantilism. Getting customers in the door is the easy part; you can get plenty of customers with a sale or promotion. It's getting them to come back and spread positives feedback to their family, friends and acquaintances that makes the difference between a business lasting for the long haul or going bankrupt.
Customers are a savvy bunch who are well aware if a business is sincere or merely touting lip service to grab their business. Reliability is a top quality to get customers coming back. Stick to your word and people will soon realize your word is as good as a promise. Profits are, of course, what business is all about, but building a reputation as a trustworthy business has its perks too! When you are trustworthy, you build a relationship with your customers. That relationship leads to increased business, so getting your customer service staff trained in positive customer relations creates profits and your reputation.
Training for Effective Customer Service
In training sessions, service representations will learn to prioritize customer complaints and requests. Software that will assist your reps is a necessity in our fast- paced world. It's even possible to include a self=-help portal for people to find the answers to commonly asked questions. Such a system may lead to people to experience a personalized service as they take charge using a problem solving approach. If they can't reach a solution their own, they have the option to contact a representative in your customer service department.
Turn Their Options to Your Business
Because of today's vast world on the internet, people have more options than they can handle which makes customer service and support more important than ever. An excellent start to building the positive reputation you need to excel in the current business climate is by seeking the advice of professionals who make it their business to support your business. Companies, such as Zoho Support have researched and designed programs in customer service that put you in command of customer satisfaction.

Young People's Action Group - frontline reports from our young facilitators
In a continuation of our blog series about the Young People's Action Group, we hear from Ruby and Tom, who were facilitators for three 'Take it to the Bridge' youth network events across the region (in Redcar, Cramlington and in central Gateshead). For more information about the Young People's Action Group, which is open to people aged 14 – 25, visit the webpage.
Ruby describes her experience of the final youth network event at Gateshead Old Town Hall, then Tom reflects on his own experiences through the events and at the Experience Day at Sage Gateshead which was the culmination of the events.
The atmosphere at this event was upbeat and the energy was high. During all the activities all the young people were involved and the expressions on their faces showed their enjoyment. Everyone was totally engrossed in the activities throughout. We learnt that some young people with special educational needs have lots of activities to join in with and others don't. And the activities are not always what they want to do. For instance one of the participants wanted to do music but hadn't been told about any music groups he could join in with. I think there should be a better variety of activities for young people with special educational needs living in different areas. Ruby, 20
After the three Youth Network events, the final event was a great day of musicmaking and creativity by young people at Sage Gateshead. Tom, another young facilitator, filled us in on the action!
After the three bridge events that we have ran, we are now at the final event – the experience day. All of the participants in the previous events should enjoy the fun activities we have lined up for them like Boomdang drumming, steel pans and DJ-ing to name but a few. All of these activities are led by professionals from Sage Gateshead and should hopefully further the participants interests in the arts and may even get them to sign up to a few things extra in their local area.
With the wide variety of activities, everyone should leave feeling they've enjoyed at least one thing that they have took part in today. From the penny whistle to the drums, there's something for everyone.
To me, these brief taster sessions are very important. It was through a brief taster session in school I became involved in drumming and from another I started to play the steel pan. From first hand experience, I can confidently say that without these two projects, I would be on a completely different path now. My personal aim from the day is to just get more young people involved in these groups. With school funding for the arts lowered, it falls on other organisations to pick up the slack, and without more and more young people attending these groups, their funding will shrink too. It is taster sessions like these ran by us that bring people into the arts and help further themselves.
The main purpose of the day though is for all of us volunteers to say thank you for attending our previous events; we couldn't have got the valuable information and experiences without it. So thank you to Redcar, Cramlington and Gateshead for having us. Everyone involved in the project has loved meeting all of you, and we hope you have taken something away from the experiences to. Hopefully we will see everyone we met at these places again, and involved in even more arts activities in their areas. Thank you! Tom
