They will go after the developers not the users more then likely. I doubt the developers will be releasing iPad jailbreak software because of this. I hope I'm wrong but I don't want to see any of these guys who have freed our devices for years risk their freedom.
Here's a problem I already see from this: items other than phones that have a cellular capability. Half of the iPads have this, various Nooks, Kindles, and ebook readers, as well as many other tablets. Most of the above are locked to a specific carrier (and iPads are still somewhat locked if CDMA is concerned). Since the unlocking exemption was allowed to expire, what happens if someone who wants to get their Kindle Fire HD or PS Vita unlocked (or other device that isn't sold by the carrier but locked down due to exclusivity rights). I think that's what is screwed up about this. They should have kept those exemptions as they were and added the exemption list to include a list of devices that can be updated regularly. The FCC could've been in charge of the list even.
Eh, oh well. It's not going to change my intentions on jailbreaking my iPad or rooting my friends' Android tablets as needed. I don't sell the tools for profit, so they couldn't really charge you for violating the DMCA without reasonable proof.
The way I see jailbreaking as a whole, in the words of Bart Simpson:
You're damned if you do and damned if you don't
Yep, jailbreak an iPad, go to jail!!!!
Seriously? No one's going to get thrown in jail for this. It's a threat aimed at developers, and as long as the authorities are busy catching terrorists, bank robbers, rapists, and white color criminals (well, that last one was just a joke), I think you and your iPad are safe. And if you ARE thrown in the hoosegow, I'll send you a cake with a USB thumbdrive in it (mild 21st century humor).
Our legal system totally works.

Budgeting for Reasonable Goals, Achieving Over-the-Top Fundraising Results
A rapidly changing environment requires quick adaptation in our culture of fundraising - the old models are changing by the minute. This session will lay out the key principles that those involved in raising money for orchestras must know: it's all about human relationships; effective use of technological tools; an institution-wide culture of fundraising; community standing; passion for our product, and an ability (for all of us – staff, board members, musicians, and volunteers) to speak effectively on behalf of our orchestras and the work that they do.
Jay Golan, vice president for development, League of American Orchestras
Sponsored by CCS
Changing The System: A Strategic Approach to Making a Difference
While orchestras deliver programs that make a real difference to their audiences; ultimately having a true, lasting impact on the wider community often requires systemic changes to the culture; affecting resources, and expectations of community partners and funders. Successful change agents share how strategic alliances, smart planning, and political heft can convert great community programs into enduring civic resources.
Gigi Antoni, president/CEO, Big Thought; Elizabeth Merritt, founding director, Center for the Future of Museums, American Association of Museums; Heather Noonan, vice president for advocacy, League of American Orchestras; Dalouge Smith, president and CEO, San Diego Youth Symphony & Conservatory
Contracts, Calamities, and Compensation!
What every orchestra manager and arts business professional should know about liability protection:
- What types of liabilities must performing arts professionals be concerned about?
- What types of insurance policies are available, and what liabilities do they cover? What do they NOT cover?
- How to limit your liability through contract
Issues covered will include disputes arising out of cancellation of concerts perhaps as a result of non-appearance of artists or adverse weather, infringement of copyright on websites or marketing material, and injury to audience, performers or damage to venues.
Mark Boon, CEO, La Playa insurance; Robyn Guilliams, arts attorney, Fettmann, Tolchin & Majors PC; Christine Sadofsky, president, La Playa Insurance
Conversation with Marvin Hamlisch
Marvin Hamlisch, legendary composer and conductor, winner of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Tonys, and Golden Globes, joins the Dallas Symphony's Mark Melson in a discussion which will offer perspectives on Mr. Hamlisch's distinguished career. Come for an opportunity to hear from a living legend who has contributed so much to the culture of our time, from Hollywood to Broadway, and as pops conductor extraordinaire on the podia of so many of our orchestras.

Creating Legendary Loyalty Programs
With over twenty-five years of experience of designing customer loyalty
programs, Hal Brierley, founder and Chief Loyalty Architect of
Brierley+Partners, will show how well-crafted loyalty programs can
profitably drive consumer behavior. Hal has helped create some of the
world's most popular loyalty programs, including American Airlines'
AAdvantage, Continental OnePass, Godiva Chocolate Rewards, Hertz #1 Club
Gold, Hilton HHonors, and JCPenney's JCP Rewards. This session will share
thoughts on how orchestras can use successful loyalty strategies to
strengthen subscriber relationships and increase donor engagement.
Hal Brierley, founder and chief loyalty architect, Brierley+Partners; Kim C. Noltemy, chief marketing and communications officer, Boston Symphony Orchestra (moderator)
A Discussion with Robert Flanagan
Robert Flanagan's recent book, The Perilous Life of Symphony Orchestras, offers an analysis of the economic challenges facing orchestras in the U.S. He explores interrelated strategies around performance revenues and expenses; and increasing non-performance related income to suggest a pathway to greater economic security for orchestras. This session will provide highlights of his book; and invite those attending to participate in a Q&A.
Dr. Robert J.Flanagan, Konosuke Matsushita Professor of International Labor Economics and Policy Analysis, Emeritus, Stanford Graduate School of Business; Hugh Long, chair, Louisiana Philharmonic (moderator)
El Sistema Takes Root
The values and practices of El Sistema continue to spread and take root in the United States. Today there are over 54 active El-Sistema-inspired programs, with approximately 25 more in the planning stages. Programs take place in community centers and social service agencies, public and charter schools, and in partnership with youth and adult orchestras. And, they share a common characteristic – a mission of social change through music. Learn about latest developments in the El Sistema-inspired movement.
Jill Goff, executive director, The Goff Family Foundation; Erik Holmgren, program director, Sistema Fellows Program; Gretchen Nielsen, director, educational initiatives, Los Angeles Philharmonic; Elizabeth Schurgin, executive director, B Sharp Youth Music
Inclusion & Diversity: A Big Tent View
For orchestras to remain vital, they must be authentically diverse institutions – onstage, and in their staff, and boards. Inclusion and diversity, while critically important, is not always easy to achieve. This toolbox is designed to help orchestras advance their work, including around audience, musicians, staff and board, repertoire, and guest artists -and create the culture needed to sustain your orchestra's commitment to diversity and inclusion over time.
Aaron Dworkin, founder and president, Sphinx Organization; Errika Flood-Moultrie, consultant, Clarkson Davis; Jessica Schmidt, director of education and community engagement, Boston Symphony Orchestra
Expanding the New Music Family: Micro, Consortium, and Commissioning Clubs
More individual artists and ensembles are bringing forward new work by bundling costs and sharing performances. These seem like win-win models by helping insure fair compensation to composers, covering orchestra costs, offering wider visibility to composers, and insuring multiple performances. Learn more about how to make this new commissions work, and about their benefits and challenges.

Getting in on the Act
Arts participation is being redefined as Americans increasingly choose to engage with art in new, more active and expressive ways. This trend carries profound implications - and fresh opportunities - for many in the nonprofit arts sector that are learning how to adapt to demographic and technological changes. Getting In On the Act: How Arts Groups are Creating Opportunities for Active Participation is a new study commissioned by The James Irvine Foundation and conducted by WolfBrown. It draws insights from more than 100 nonprofit arts groups, and presents a new model for understanding arts engagement.

How Customers Can Impact Product and Marketing Strategies
What makes a business grow and what is the role of the consumer in the process? This session will highlight how customer feedback can facilitate business leadership and direct successful growth strategies. We will learn how better to listen and learn from our customers; understand how we should market to them, and be responsive to the new product lines they really want.
Jason Nicholson, Director of Marketing, Austin Symphony Orchestra (moderator); Steven Riskey, Riskey Business Solutions
How Live Music and Sports Share the Same Entertainment Challenges, and What We Can Do About It
Combine economic woes and fierce competition for consumer dollars, you get a story familiar to the classical music industry. Sports and entertainment industry challenges and opportunities mirror those we face - multiple performances, tight budgets, limited staff, and competition for talent are all shared areas of concern. This session features sports and entertainment veterans addressing how these challenges are being overcome – and what lessons can be applied to orchestras of all sizes.

Kickstarter 101
Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of people pledge millions of dollars to projects that interest them. Kickstarter represents a new form of commerce and patronage – i.e. It's not about investment or lending; the project creators keep 100% ownership over their work. The funding is "all or nothing" - If a project doesn't reach its funding goal within a fixed period of time, it goes away. What does this new model mean for institutions as well as individual artists? Kickstarter 101 will introduce you to a whole new, highly entrepreneurial approach to fundraising.
Stephanie Pereira, art program director, Kickstarter
Proving our Case: Public Value Essentials
The stakes have never been higher to prove how orchestras improve public life. Funders, community partners, policy makers, and the public want to understand what orchestras contribute to civic health, economic growth, public education, and artistic vitality – and they want hard proof that these benefits flow to a diverse range of community stakeholders. Learn how to tell your story, prepare compelling data, and shape an institution-wide approach to messages that can change public perception of your orchestra.
Beth Brooks, vice president of marketing and public relations, Pacific Symphony; Karen Gahl-Mills, executive director, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture; Judith Kurnick, vice president for strategic communications, League of American Orchestras; Heather Noonan, vice president for advocacy, League of American Orchestras
Think SMART*: An Update to the League's Strategy and Money Alignment Readiness Tool
The League, in partnership with TDC, recently made available to its members an orchestra-specific tool designed to highlight the connections between money, strategy and risk. This tool can help as a means of clarifying information and insuring effective communication as a key to understanding your current financial health and aligning it with successful planning. If you are thinking about how to: respond to changing audience behavior; undertake a capital campaign, address structural deficits, expand or manage contraction, and/or focus on long-term sustainability – this tool can help. Come to this session to get an update what we've learned so far, and see how this tool might be a resource for you.

YouTube Symphony Orchestra: Key Results and Applications
The success of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, through its two incarnations in 2009 at Carnegie Hall and in 2011 at the Sydney (Australia) Opera House, challenged the conventional wisdom about the demand for classical music performance in the digital marketplace. Driven by a passion to bring classical music to a global audience and a desire to democratize the experience of making music, the YouTube Symphony offers significant insights into how the digital community interacts with and responds to live orchestral performance. How can you and your organization benefit from key findings and results of the biggest global experiment ever undertaken in orchestral world?

A little mind game made all the difference for Bill Hall.
The Salt Lake Bees veteran third baseman strode to the plate with his team down a run in the seventh inning Wednesday.
"This game is all about confidence," Hall said. "Sometimes you have to trick yourself into being confident. I've been struggling, so I tricked myself like I've been going good my last at-bat."
Hall rolled a two-run single through the right side to help the Bees snap a seven-game skid with an 8-7 victory over Colorado Springs.
"I'm a big believer you ask for what you get," he said. "You put out good vibes, you're gonna get good vibes."
Hall scored when Efren Navarro smacked a home run over the right-field wall to stake the Bees to an 8-5 lead.
"My previous three at-bats, they were staying away," Navarro said. "Luckily he left a changeup up and right down the middle, and I was able to do something with it."
The Bees offense couldn't muster much through the first six innings. But once Colorado Springs starter Justin Berg gave way to the bullpen, the Bees heated up. They collected five of their 10 hits in the seventh inning, all after Berg departed.
The Bees collected four consecutive hits off Sky Sox reliever Manuel Corpas before he recorded an out, but Navarro answered the out with his homer.
The Bees needed all the runs because the Sky Sox struck for one in the eighth before making things interesting in the ninth.
The Sky Sox led off with a single against Robert Coello, who responded by striking out the next batter. But DJ LeMahieu answered with a double down the first-base line to put runners at second and third. Coello, not to be outdone, struck out Charlie Blackmon on three pitches. Then Tyler Colvin beat out an infield single to score a run and put runners on the corners with two outs and the Bees up one. Coello extinguished the drama by striking out Matt McBride on three pitches.
"That little stretch that we had, the same guys that were getting outs for us were scuffling a little bit," Bees manager Keith Johnson said. "Every time I put someone out there on the mound, I have the utmost confidence that they're going to get outs."
Bees starter Billy Buckner looked strong through the first six innings, striking out nine. But he ran into trouble in the seventh, when he allowed the first three batters to reach before being pulled.
"He was just mixing speeds, and obviously he was working at the bottom of the strike zone," Johnson said. "What that forced them to do was swing a little bit more often, and he was getting a lot of ground ball outs."
The Bees will try to earn a series split when they host the Sky Sox at 6:35 p.m. Thursday.
O The Bees collect five of their 10 hits in the game in the seventh inning, when they scored five runs.
• Bees starting pitcher Billy Bucker strikes out nine.

January 17th is Thank Your Mentor Day
January 2013 marks the 12th anniversary of National Mentoring Month, an annual campaign to encourage volunteers to become mentors for young people and to honor those who already are mentors.
As a highlight of National Mentoring Month 2013, Thank Your Mentor Day will be celebrated on January 17. On that day, Americans thank and honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them and had a lasting, positive impact on their lives. We at Girl Scouts of Greater New York would like to encourage you, too, to reach out to your mentor on January 17.
Here are two ways to honor your mentor:
1. Contact your mentor directly to express your appreciation.
2. Pass on what you received by becoming a mentor to a younger troop or a young person in your own community.
Mentors play a powerful role in building girls' courage, confidence, and character as well as in boosting academic achievement and workforce readiness. They instill a spirit of leadership and community engagement in girls, help them navigate pathways to successful adulthood and help them realize that they can make a difference in the world. By setting a positive example and sharing their time, knowledge, and experience, mentors play an essential role in preparing our girls for a bright future.
It is this important role of mentors in the fabric of our society that has prompted President Barack Obama to issue a proclamation designating January as National Mentoring Month, commending mentors for "enrich[ing] the lives of our young people and fortify[ing] the unbreakable bonds between one generation and the next."
Here at the Girl Scouts of Greater New York we encourage our girls to develop their leadership capacities to serve their communities and make the world a better place for all. We gratefully acknowledge the important role mentors play in this development and celebrate their contributions to support, encourage, and guide our Girl Scouts, helping to prepare them to be tomorrow's leaders and mentors to the next generation of young girls.

Meet Daphne Selfe, the World's Oldest (and Most Awesome) Supermodel
Bettys, meet Daphne Selfe. She's a model. She's also 83 years old. And we're TOTALLY in love with her now!
-Lucia Peters
Bettys, we'd like to take a moment to introduce you to someone awesome. Her name is Daphne Selfe, and she's a supermodel. She's also 83 years old. Fantastic? Just a bit.
The UK Daily Mail recently profiled Daphne, who was brought to their attention in connection with Oxfam's Big Bra Hunt. What's the Big Bra Hunt? It's a campaign being run by the Oxfam charity use donated bras (the ones that don't fit you properly, the ones that looked better in the shop, the forgotten ones you haven't worn in ages, etc.) to raise money towards busting poverty in Senegal and around the globe. Even Helen Mirren has donated to the Big Bra Hunt. Awesome, right?
But most awesome of all is that Daphne Selfe has agreed to pose as Madonna in her prime to benefit the campaign. That's right: This fabulous 83-year-old donned the Material Girl's iconic conical bra and corset by Jean Paul Gaulthier—an outfit the singer wore in 1990 for her Blonde Ambition tour when she was in her early 30s. Now THAT's refreshing!
Daphne gets her Madonna on.
What's her story? Daphne grew up in Berkshire, UK before being sent to boarding school at the age of eight. When she was 20, she worked as a shop girl in a department store; at that time, she also entered a local newspaper's modeling competition and won, thus beginning her modeling career. Later on, she had a family, ended up taking care of an ill husband, and fell out of modeling, but she makes a point not to dwell on the negative. Her husband passed away in 1997; then, in 1998, she was asked to appear on the catwalk for Red or Dead, which led to her being signed up by Models 1, and suddenly she was back in the game despite her age and time away from it. What's more, she says that these days, she's doing more high fashion than she did as a young woman. She has long silver hair, high cheekbones, and bright intelligent eyes—and lots of amazing things to say. We thought we'd share some of our favorite sound bytes from the article with you, Bettys, because they're just that great and we think you'll appreciate them. Here we go!
Read Award-Winning Designer Carrie Parry Loves Using Real Women as Models
Daphne in her youth.
On whether she was considered beautiful growing up: "I'd been told I was nice looking a couple of times, but no, not really. I then started working steadily, [and] it was wonderful."
On cosmetic surgery: "I've never had anything done to my face. Not that poison, not a face lift. I think it's a waste of money." Here, here!
On the modeling industry today: "I would never have made it starting out today. I was too short, just 5' 7", with wide shoulders from all the riding I did as a young girl. But no one ever asked me to lose weight. Rationing was in place until 1954, so you were always grateful to get food." This is why we don't understand why the industry today is so dead set on having girls starve themselves to fit an unrealistic standard of beauty. Daphne also notes that "In those days, all models had training, we were shown how to walk and stand elegantly." Key word: "Elegant"—not "sexy." Love it!
On bikini waxing: "There was nothing like that [then]. I do feel sorry for young girls today, all the things they do to themselves." Us too.
On getting older: "It's going to happen, so why worry? My generation got on with it. I do find people are always complaining these days. I try to remain cheerful, not grumpy. I've developed glaucoma, but the drops I have to put in my eyes have made my lashes grow! So there is always a plus side."
On her biggest fear: "Falling ill. I want to just keel over one day and, if not, I want someone to knock me over the head. I don't ever want to be a nuisance."
Terrific, right? To read more about Daphne and her incredible awesomeness, head over to the Daily Mail and check out the full profile. Find out more about the Big Bra Hunt at Oxfam's website.
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.

Great place in a familiar neightbourhood. Clean and well organized
The communication with the host was simply great
We had a wonderful time in Tel Aviv - Our apartment had the best location, it was very close to one of the nicest beaches in Tel Aviv and in walking distance to many nice bars and restaurants. Everything was new and clean and also very well organized. Ori was the perfect host. We will definitely come back soon!
Beautiful apartment - spacious, very clean. Very well equipped kitchen - plenty of dishes, pots, pans. In the kitchen, there is even a toaster.
The beach is about 20 minutes walk. huge shopping center is very close. The center has a children's playground.
Agency staff are punctual. They reply to the letters quickly, are ready to answer any questions. We were handed a map of the city and told everything that was interested for us.
the apartment has the only defect - two bedrooms are quite noisy because of their windows facing the busy street.
Good Apartment, good located
bel appartement confortable.
Un petit bemol concernant le lavabo qui fuyait et donc inutilisable.
we have booked a studio apartment but then got upgraded to a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was very dirty; the teasmade was old and rusty; the bathroom shower, toilet and sink where not cleaned at all; the fugues in bathroom old and mouldy; so not very luxury at all. The personal for cleaning was a men who really did not know his job. I highly recommend you to take your own cleaning rag because there is no one in the appartment. Also the frig was dirty and in some of the pots there were water in it but the pots where in the drawer. How is that possible? We were there in Sept. 2013. Maybe they've renovated the bathroom fugues and took a new cleaning personal. If not, I don't recommend this appartment. Let me see if I can upload some of the photos for this appartment.
Kind regards from Switzerland,
Bojan and Katarina.
Nice appartment, very good location near the beach.
We had some problems with the door, very professional help from the team.
Großes Zimmer, riesengroße Terrasse mit Blick auf die Skyline von Tel Aviv. Schade, dass es in der gut ausgestatteten Küchenzeile noch nicht mal Salz zur Verfügung stand. So mussten wir immer Essen gehen.

Giving hair – and hope
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
First-year medical student Travis Muthig had been growing his hair for two years, planning to donate it to help a cancer patient. His chance came when his 12-inch pigtails were cut off by a stylist in the Russell House during the USC Beautiful Lengths ceremony Sunday. He was one of 40 Carolina students, faculty and staff members who donated their long locks to help provide free wigs for cancer patients.

text: Football Falters At No. 4 Eastern Washington October 19, 2013 By SUU Strategic Communication Related Links Complete Game Statistics Andrew Eide tipped a pass that led to an interception and forced a fumble SUU recovered Courtesy: Deb Hill CHENEY, Wash., Oct. 19 – Southern Utah was looking to make it 3-0 on homecoming this year but fourth-ranked Eastern Washington had other ideas as the Eagles kept the Thunderbirds from establishing momentum in a 34-10 Big Sky Conference win. Eastern Washington improved to 5-2 on the season, and 3-0 in Big Sky play while SUU dipped to 5-3, 2-2 in the BSC. Southern Utah had spoiled Northern Colorado's homecoming with a 27-21 win on Sept. 28, then took care of Portland State last week on its own homecoming but Eastern Washington was able to turn two Thunderbird turnovers into scores and generally disrupt the Thunderbird offense in the win. The Thunderbirds got a pair of first quarter turnovers but were unable to capitalize on either. Andrew Eide tipped a pass at the line of scrimmage and James Cowser alertly intercepted it at the SUU 32 yard line but the Thunderbird offense failed to move the ball and wound up punting. Eide and Cowser teamed up on another Eagle turnover later in the period when Eide hit Eagle quarterback Vernon Adams in the backfield and forced a fumble at the SUU 21 where Cowser fell on it. The fates were against the Thunderbirds however, as on the next play Aaron Cantu was pressured and was intercepted by Samson Ebukam, who returned the ball 21 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 Eagle lead. EWU made it 14-0 when Adams was able to find Ashton Clark on a 12-yard touchdown pass after SUU safety Michael Byrd fell down in coverage. The Eagles controlled the first quarter, out-gaining the Thunderbirds 161-28 but SUU turned the tables in the second period when they held a 99-85 advantage in yards gained. The Thunderbirds put together a 66-yard drive at the end of the half and pulled within 14-3 after Colton Cook hit a 34-yard field goal. Southern Utah put itself into position to climb back into the game midway through the third quarter when Tyree Mills broke up an Eagle pass on fourth and two at the SUU 36 yard line. The Thunderbirds drove to the Eagle 20 yard line but saw the drive stymied when Ronald Baines wrestled a pass away from Easton Pedersen at the 15. Even when things went right for the Thunderbirds things went wrong as on the ensuing possession a bad snapped sailed over Adams' head near mid-field but he was able to scoop it up and scramble all the way to the SUU 31 yard line. After an incomplete pass Adams hooked up with Kendrick Bourne on another touchdown and a 21-3 lead with 5:33 to play in the third period. The Eagles tacked on two more scores to go up 34-3 before SUU quarterback Mike Sharp found CJ Morgan on a 29-yard pass to pull SUU within 34-10 with 45 seconds to play. Sharp wound up the Thunderbirds' leading rusher with 61 yards on nine carries. He also completed 3-of-6 passes for 46 yards and the touchdown. The Thunderbirds finished with a season-high 368 yards of offense, with 143 on the ground and 225 through the air, bettering the 344 they had against Fort Lewis and Sacramento State. Eastern Washington finished with 489 yards as Adams completed 25-of-35 passes for 298 yards and the Eagles combined to rush for 191 yards. -- SUU --

Connecting: one of the keys to centered leadership
UMB's Dana Abraham spoke to the Saint Louis University Cook School of Business this week. Here is an excerpt from her talk.
The leadership model is advancing, and evolving into a better place than ever before.
What began as a specific push for progress among women in leadership roles spurred the study1 that formed "Centered Leadership" – a model that has served successful professionals around the globe. Common themes appeared in this study, and the data was later validated by a survey of 2,500 executives.
They called the resulting model centered leadership. It's about having a well of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual strength that drives personal achievement, and in turn inspires others to follow.
One of the elements to this model is connecting.
Connecting: Identify who can help you grow, build stronger relationships and increase your sense of belonging.
People with strong networks and good mentors enjoy more promotions, higher pay and greater career satisfaction.
One thing that differentiates a leader from a manager is the leader's ability to figure out where to go to get things done. In order to get things done, you need three types of essential networks.
1) Work Resource – The people in this network assist you with projects and give you access to information and ideas.
2) Personal Support: These are your personal counselors, your friends. They provide a safe place to vent.
3) Career Support: These include your mentors, coaches and sponsors.
HOW to network –
- First of all, don't start with an actual networking event. Instead, work on meaningful encounters with others. For example, getting to know people by working with them on a committee or taking part in a shared interest.
- Remember to give, not just take. Effective networks are earned. There is a need for reciprocity when people receive—they feel obligated to reciprocate. Focus on the value you add to others and what you bring to these relationships. Do you have expertise, a point of view from another generation, information, referrals?
When I first joined UMB, I tried to connect with our largest and most profitable commercial banking clients. I needed to prove myself to these business partners. I laid out my service model, but didn't have any referrals. It wasn't until I first referred business to them that they saw the value I could bring. Today, commercial bankers are my leading sources of new business.
It's also important to take a long-term approach. Build relationships before you need them so you can save time in the future.
What's the difference between a mentor and a sponsor?
Mentorship is important to our personal development, but sponsorship will help us break through. A sponsor is willing to go beyond the role of mentor to stick out his/her own neck to create an opportunity for a protégée.
A mentor dispenses wisdom, while a sponsor gets involved. Sponsors believe in you, but mentors don't always go that far.
I have been fortunate to have sponsors. My direct supervisor has put my name into the hat several times and has an interest in my personal development. I also have peers from other lines of business who I would view as sponsors—people who would recommend me for a project or development opportunity.
Networks are about reaching out, showing interest in another person, and offering help – a true key to professional growth. Authenticity matters, so develop an approach that fits your personality and style.
1 – A study was launched by McKinsey and Company to determine what drives and sustains successful female leaders – this was done to help younger women navigate the paths to leadership to learn how organizations could get the best out of this group of talented associates. This work was lead and later published by Joanna Barsh, Suzie Cranston and Geoffery Lewis. They interviewed 85 successful women from across the globe and in diverse fields.
Dana Abraham is president of the Personal Banking Division and is responsible for the delivery of comprehensive financial services. Her areas of focus include Wealth Planning, Private Banking, Personal Trust, Investment Management and Insurance. She joined UMB in 2005 and has more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. Abraham earned a bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in both accounting and economics from the University of Louisiana. She is a graduate of Leadership Overland Park and Kansas City Tomorrow Leadership programs.

USC School of Medicine's pathology department ranked among top grant generators
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
The University of South Carolina School of Medicine's Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology has been ranked 29th in the nation in generating National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in 2012, according to a recently released report.
The department generated more than $6.9 million in coveted NIH money last year, placing USC above institutions such as the University of California-Los Angeles, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Duke University and Cornell University. The rankings, compiled annually by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research, includes both direct and indirect costs, but do not include research and development contracts or stimulus funds received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The department was ranked 35th for bringing in $5.9 million in 2011, and 40th in 2010 for generating $5.3 million in NIH funding.
Professor and depatrment chair Mitzi Nagarkatti credited the rise in the rankings to the department's recruitment of top researchers.
"We built research teams consisting of faculty who could collaborate and synergize in thematic areas such as inflammation, which is the underlying cause of all major clinical disorders such as autoimmune, cardiovascular and neurological diseases as well as cancer," Nagarkatti said. "Our department currently hosts three major National Research Centers funded by NIH, in addition to several individual investigator initiated grants."

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a cancer of the adrenal glands.
Tumor - adrenal
Adrenocortical carcinoma is most common in children younger than 5 years old and adults in their 30s and 40s.
The condition may be linked to a cancer syndrome that is passed down through families (inherited). Both men and women can develop this tumor.
Adrenocortical carcinoma can produce the hormones cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, or testosterone, as well as other hormones. In women the tumor often releases these hormones, which can lead to male characteristics.
Adrenocortical carcinoma is very rare. The cause is unknown. About 2 people per million develop this type of tumor.
Symptoms of increased cortisol or other adrenal gland hormones:
Symptoms of increased aldosterone are the same as symptoms of low potassium, and include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. You may have
Imaging tests may include:
Primary treatment is surgery to remove the tumor. Adrenocortical carcinoma may not improve with chemotherapy. Medications may be given to reduce production of cortisol, which causes many of the symptoms.
The outcome depends on how early the diagnosis is made and whether the tumor has spread (metastasized). Tumors that have spread usually lead to death within 1 to 3 years.
The tumor can spread to the liver, bone, lung, or other areas.
Call your health care provider if you or your child has symptoms of adrenocortical carcinoma, Cushing syndrome, or failure to grow.

Let's take a look at some weak flesh-bag-human replacements, that might seem scary-advanced now, but to future generations will be as laughable as the first mobile, a 5in floppy disk, and those damned Furbies are to us now.
Boston Dynamics PETMAN
PETMAN, created to test protective clothing for extreme situations, has become so much more. He's able to walk like a man, run like a man, and even jump like a man. You can push the big fella and he'll balance himself out to keep on walking. We suspect he's made for more than clothes testing – perhaps a future race of robot soldiers who don't like being pushed about? Yes, that's much more exciting.

A key attack line in President Obama's campaign stump speech these days is to claim that the country has tried Mitt Romney's economic policies already, and they were a dismal failure.
Romney, he says, wants to do two things: Cut taxes for the rich and massively deregulate the economy.
"The truth is," Obama says, "we tried (that) for almost a decade, and it didn't work."
Bush-era tax cuts and deregulation, he argues "resulted in the most sluggish job growth in decades" along with "rising inequality, surpluses turned into deficits, culminating in the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes."
There's just one problem. Obama's got his history wrong.
First, Bush was no big deregulator.
In fact, under Bush, the size and cost of the federal government's regulatory machinery increased dramatically, as Bush imposed dozens of major new rules.
Regulatory staffing, for example, climbed 44% during the Bush years, according to a study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and George Washington University.
By contrast, regulatory staffing was essentially flat under President Clinton.
Likewise, federal spending on regulations shot up 45% in real terms under Bush, compared with 26% under Clinton.
Obama himself has made the case that regulations climbed rapidly under Bush. "I have approved fewer regulations in the first three years of my presidency than my Republican predecessor did in his," he said in a speech earlier this year.
To be sure, much of the Bush-era regulatory increase came as a result of the government's takeover of airport security in the wake of 9/11. But even excluding that, federal regulatory spending climbed 30% and regulatory jobs jumped 11% under Bush.
In addition, an analysis by the Heritage Foundation found that Bush-era regulations imposed about $30 billion in new economic costs.
One of them, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, imposed vast new rules on the accounting and securities businesses, generating at least 20 new rule makings at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sarb-Ox has been widely blamed for reducing the number of U.S. initial public offerings.
"Far from shrinking to dangerously low levels, regulation grew substantially during the Bush years," noted Heritage's regulatory expert James Gattuso.
In addition, the banking deregulation, which Obama sometimes blames for contributing to the financial crisis, took place not under Bush but under Clinton, who signed the bill to repeal Depression-era banking rules in 1999.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act enjoyed massive bipartisan support, with just eight Senators and 57 House members voting against it.

What was the best "trade" you made for your work
Posted 17 March 2013 - 09:29 AM
I mentioned it to my buddy Albert who lives out there. He said he had a stove that he was not using. He would trade it to me for a large bowl!So we did the deal, and the stove has worked great for at least 10 years.
So, my trade was a stoneware bowl for an electric stove. Have you got a good one?

When I was a kid in school many years ago studying pottery, I was in the student center complaining to my girlfriend that my tooth was killing me but I didn't have any money for a dentist and was considering drinking a lot of whiskey and getting a friend to pull it with pliers. She remembered this dentist that often visited the pottery studio and swapped dentistry for pots with the professor who ran the ceramics department plus he had the hots for her. She got the professor and the three of us went to the dentist and he agreed that for one of my big bowls he would pull my tooth and treat all three of us to laughing gas. I got a tooth pulled (that he said really needed a root canal but I didn't have enough pots for that) and we all had a great time. I asked him several times after that to pull another tooth or two but he wouldn't because there was nothing wrong with them.
That is very funny! I don't know how else you could get laughing gas without pulling teeth.You might have topped my stove story. Let's wait and see.
Is there an emoticon with a tooth missing?

Another time my mothers bathroom sink broke (I don't ask questions on that) and I ended up trading a newish cabinet, sink, and faucet for 2 vases about 2 feet tall. My mother still has it in her house and that was 8 years ago.
This one isn't ceramics, but some equipment .. but I just finished fixing, repainting and restoring a shimpo wheel. I bought it from a nice couple who just lost their mother, and it was in the back of their mothers house rusted to heck, motor shot and all around not working, wheel head and bearings still weren't locked and rusted so I bought it for about $50 and proceeded to get new 2 hp motor, strip the rust, make the peddle work again, repaint it (metallic blue with silver ghost flames) and polish the wheel head of the corrosion building up on it (I miss living near the ocean) ... and it was really nice ... ended up trading that to a buddy for 4 easels, 10 6'x10' canvases and a kiln.
I miss that wheel.

"To me the greatest thing is to live beauty in our daily life and to crowd every moment with things of beauty. It is then, and then only that the art of the people as a whole is endowed with it's richest significance. For it's products are those made by great a many craftsmen for the mass of the people, and the moment this art declines the life of the nation is removed far away from beauty. So long as beauty abides in only in a few articles created by a few geniuses, the kingdom of beauty is nowhere near realization." - Bernard Leach

I had to resurrect this old post. My neighbour across the back lane ordered top soil for his yard. He made the classic mistake of not remembering that soil is measured by the CUBIC yard. [length times width times height]. I thought he ordered 10 yards. He actually ordered 12 yards of soil, which is enough to cover the floor of a single car garage to a depth of two feet. I said I would buy some from him this spring. I moved about 4 yards in my trusty wheel barrow.My boys said, "Dad, are you going to pay for that?" They are bright boys. My neighbour wasn't around when I moved the dirt.When I saw him, I asked how much a yard? It worked out to $25.00 a yard. I would have owed him $100.00.
He said, make me some planters. So the trade is dirt for planters. A good deal for both of us.

I have also given your post a proper title.
Hello there. I am new to this forum so first of all, hello everyone!
i am starting with backtrack and trying to study all the concepts in my pc, so i am pretending to install it here. Well i got a p5k deluxe motherboard, with a single DVD-RAM drive, and i don't know why, when i boot the cd of backtrack, it tried to boot everything until it freezes on a message, similar to this:
Backtrack tried to boot but an error occurred. This should never happen. Try to install it from HD(i don't remember the exact message, but i saw that it couldnt' probably read the cd from the drive, due to probably sata-driver issues).
Well i have a free partition of 5 GB created in my HD, so i would like to know more info on how to install it manually on HD.
I am mostly new to linux, with no much deep knowledge, that's why i am having some difficulties!
I tried to follow Xatar's guide on how to boot and install backtrack, but well, i got to do it on my work pc. But at my home pc, nope! =(
All i get is this error mentioned above. Any solution? I tried some google search but it would only lead me to boot from cd and HD install that, but i can't boot from CD properly, til the end! I tried to use most of the tools mentioned in xatar's guide but no, i couldn't, as it was not properly booting.
i'd love any tip on that!
Thank you!

This was a gift for my husband who will turn 79 this year. I set the clock in a bookcase opposite the foot of his bed. He loves the large numbers and has been wanting something like this for a long time. It was very hard to find one that was well made and suited his needs. Thank you Hammacher Schlemmer was having the best at a good price.

Although this clock has battery backup; time will not display unless AC cord is used so if you want to hang it on a wall like I do, you will have an unsightly power cord hanging down.

Welch says he never had the pleasure of meeting Shane, but he's honored that he was able to fill his spot while he was away from the band.
Korn's James "Munky" Shaffer added that he feels very fortunate to have known someone he calls an amazing guitar player and an amazing person.

Once matched, the student has an invaluable opportunity to ask questions, seek advice and guidance, glean the expertise of a seasoned professional and acquire knowledge that would otherwise go untapped. For the Mentor, it is a great way to give back, to make a difference in the life of a student and stay in touch with the pulse of the campus.
STUDENTS - please complete the Student Information Collection Form by clicking on the link above. If you have a resume, please forward that to me as well. Based on your information, I will 'match' you with a best-fit Mentor from my Mentors database. You will be provided with the Mentor's e-mail address and it will be up to you to initiate and maintain contact with the Mentor. If, for whatever reason, your match does not suit you: the Mentor has changed jobs; the Mentor has decided to no longer participate in the program; the Mentor is too busy to participate at the time of your request, etc., - please advise and all efforts will be made to match you with an alternative Mentor.

Atheist and pro-Israel, Maikel Nabil tests free speech in Egypt (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) By Kristen Chick CAIRO, EGYPT 03/29/12)
Source: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2012/0329/Atheist-and-pro-Israel-Maikel-Nabil-tests-free-speech-in-Egypt
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Articles-Index-Top
A year ago this week, Maikel Nabil became the first Egyptian blogger to be arrested solely for his opinion. Now released, he talks about his fight for one of the key principles of democracy.
Maikel Nabil´s views are controversial in Egypt in almost every way his open atheism, his support for gay rights, and especially his support for Israel.
But it was his opposition to the military that made him the first Egyptian blogger to be imprisoned for his opinions after the uprising that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak.
The rail-thin blogger, a pacifist, had become a thorn in the Egyptian Army´s side well before Egyptians took to the streets en masse last year by publicly refusing mandatory military service.
He started a campaign against conscription on his blog, where he also posted poetry and nonpolitical musings.
Then, less than two months after the fall of Mr. Mubarak, the military arrested Mr. Nabil. His offense? Writing a post describing abuses by the military, which had stepped in to take power.
In the immediate wake of his arrest, which took place exactly a year ago, few defended Nabil or his right to freedom of expression a central tenet of democracy. His case turned out to be a harbinger of a crackdown on free expression by Egypt´s military rulers last year.
While Nabil was recently released after going on a hunger strike, some are worried that Egyptians´ reluctance to defend the rights of unpopular figures like him will mean a slow but sure erosion of the right of free expression.
"The failure to respond immediately to cases like Maikel Nabil´s early in the year in a sense set the stage for the military to keep tightening the public space there was for dissidence," says Heba Morayef, a researcher for Human Rights Watch. Now, she says, "there isn´t a strong sense of the need to protect freedom of expression. And that´s very dangerous going forward."
Warm and polite, with a degree in veterinary science
Born into a Coptic Christian family in Assiut, a city in southern Egypt, Nabil got a degree in veterinary science from a university there. He says he´s not cut out for 9-to-5 office jobs, so he focused instead on writing, activism, and studies. He was studying for a postgraduate law degree at Cairo University, but missed his final exams while in prison.
He is warm and polite, but quick to challenge statements he disagrees with such as the popular revolutionary chant, "The Army and the people are one hand."
The March 8, 2011, blog post that got him arrested was titled "The Army and the people were never one hand." In it, he made the case that the military never supported, much less saved, the Egyptian revolution, and he detailed their abuses.
By the time he was arrested on March 28, the military council that had promised to oversee a quick transition to an elected government had racked up a list of abuses, including subjecting thousands of civilians to military tribunals, forcing female protesters to submit to "virginity tests" that amounted to sexual assault, and beating and torturing protesters.
Military intelligence officers arrested him and charged him with insulting the military and publishing false information. The evidence against him was 73 screen shots of his blog and Facebook page.
It was a clear free-expression case. "I haven´t done anything wrong. I haven´t stolen anything, or killed anyone," says Nabil, recently released and wearing brand-new jeans and a hoodie sweatshirt. "I was arrested for my opinions."
His case drew little attention at first; Egyptians were still enamored of the military, which they saw as the savior of the revolution in part because soldiers had not attacked protesters as the police had. Any protest against the military was, at the time, extremely controversial.
But even after support began to wane for the military, many were still reluctant to rally around Nabil, whose views make him a highly unsympathetic character to most Egyptians.
After getting attacked by another prisoner, enduring periods of solitary confinement, and being ordered to a psychiatric hospital in an apparent attempt to prove him insane, Nabil eventually went on a hunger strike.
"I felt I had to make something obvious and strong to make everyone realize there is an activist arrested in Egypt for his opinion, his conscience, and he needs your support," says the young man with an intense gaze. He was released in late January, one of nearly 2,000 civilians convicted in military courts who were pardoned in a bid to blunt protests on the anniversary of Egypt´s revolution.
Deliberate and articulate, quoting Voltaire
As he recounts his imprisonment, Nabil at times struggles to find the right words, sometimes losing his train of thought as he sits in a downtown Cairo cafe. Since his release, he says, he has trouble concentrating. He sees strangers in the street and thinks he recognizes them. Yet Nabil is deliberate and articulate. He quotes Voltaire during an interview.
At the beginning of his imprisonment, mobilizing supporters was difficult, particularly because of his support for Israel.
When he says Israel´s 2009 war in Gaza, which killed more than 1,000 Palestinians, was a war of self-defense, it arouses the kind of emotions in Egyptians that Americans might feel when someone defends Al Qaeda. Nabil doesn´t expect them to agree, but the lack of support early on in his imprisonment for the right to express such ideas pained him.
"I don´t ask them to love me. I don´t ask them to believe what I´m believing in," says Nabil. "All I ask is that we respect human rights in Egypt, that we respect freedom of expression in Egypt."
Most Egyptians still trusted the military then, or were too afraid to speak out against it. Even the group No to Military Trials for Civilians debated whether to advocate for Nabil, said one member, over worry it would damage their cause. When it did launch a campaign and asked public figures and well-known activists to help, some refused. Getting local media to publicize his case, says group member Shahira Abouellail, was "beyond impossible."
"They really felt threatened by the Army at that point in time," she says. "They also felt like the Maikel Nabil case was very controversial."
Slowly, however, "people started to understand that by taking a stand against his arrest and sentence, you´re not necessarily advocating his opinions and what he´s written on his blog," says Ms. Abouellail. Even local media began to cover his case.
And Nabil says that toward the end of his ordeal, when he walked into the visiting room, other prisoners´ families applauded him.
Now free, Nabil still blogs and advocates freedom of expression; he fears the next battle will be speech considered insulting to Islam. A prominent Christian businessman was accused of insulting Islam after tweeting a cartoon showing Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Islamic garb, though he was recently acquitted.
Abouellail says it´s not surprising that Egyptians were reluctant to rally around Nabil. "We understood that people needed an education of the principles of freedom of speech and democracy" after living under a tyrannical regime for decades, she says. "There´s still a revolution of the mind that needs to happen. And none of us are under any false impressions that this is going to happen overnight." (© The Christian Science Monitor. 03/29/12)

Bassett 48SN2S 14X8 D-Hole 5 on 100mm 2 Inch Backspace Silver Wheel
Click image to enlarge
Please note the following about this product:
- Ground Shipping Only - Can't Ship Air.
Reviews (0)
What's in the Box
InfoBassett expanded our D-Hole Lightweight line of wheels for FWD and mini-stock cars that use a 4 bolt or 5 bolt pattern hub hat/rotor and run a 14" tire. We combine our NASCAR-proven 8 D-Hole center with a lightweight, CNC spun-form rim shell to create the highest quaility, fastest 14 x 7 and 14 x 8 FWD and mini-stock steel race wheel available. Lightweight and low runout (under .030") thanks to spun-form wheel shells produced in-houseReinforced torque ring and forged coining on center increases durabilityThe 5/8" valve stem hole is located behind the center to avoid clippings NOTE: For easier tire mounting, many of these wheels do not have a tire safety bead. For dirt applications, make sure you select a safety bead at the time of order.PLEASE NOTE: Bassett Racing Wheels are lug-centric, which means the wheel is constructed and trued off of the bolt circle. The center hub bore hole can not be used to balance Bassett Racing Wheels. We recommend using an experienced tire mounter with a bolt pattern adapter plate that allows for balancing off of the bolt circle. Bassett Racing Wheels also require 45 degree chamfer lug nuts.
The following must be considered when using Bassett wheels for on highway / street use applications when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Bassett Wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of and must be balanced using the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout, as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.

State agencies are allowed to fulfill their statutory obligation to participate in the Depository Program by providing documents in electronic format. The primary goal of the Digital Archive is to provide the public with permanent access to these digital publications that state agencies submit.
Louisiana state documents, print and digital, are cataloged in the State Library's online catalog and are available for use by all libraries regardless of depository status.

Title: Veterans of Southeast Louisiana
The Archives and Special Collections Department at Nicholls State University has created a collection of videotaped interviews of U.S. veterans living in southeast Louisiana. The collection consists of interviews primarily from Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes, but also includes interviews from the following parishes: Assumption, Iberia, Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, and St. Mary. Participants in the interviews range from service in World War II to the present conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, including service during peacetime. The interviews feature their life growing up in Louisiana, military experience, and life after active duty.
The collection includes a short biography, photographs, and relevant military documents of each veteran. It also relates their accounts of growing up in southeast Louisiana, reflecting the history and culture of their respective areas.
