His appointment comes with high expectations, not least because NAB had to pay Drummond a sign-on bonus of $6.5 million on top of his regular pay packet to get him to leave BAML. The size of the payment has fanned speculation that Drummond has been brought on board as a potential contender to eventually succeed NAB chief executive
Drummond's arrival means this annual result is the last for Joiner, who will retire by the end of the year after six years as NAB's finance chief.
Joiner will present the results with Clyne on Thursday, though Drummond will no doubt be keeping a keen eye on proceedings. In any case, it's likely to be a reasonably happy introduction, with a profit of around $6 billion expected. That's a marked turnaround for NAB after last year's profit was hit by bad debts at its United Kingdom-based banks.

Here's where being "king" of sports would come in handy. In the NFL's case, what's needed to improve the product is for the powers that be to stay the heck out of the way! So as imperial magistrate of all of sportsdom, I hereby issue the following decree to NFL owners and players: Stop it! You've got the most successful product in the history of sports, possibly of products! Don't screw this up.
No NFL Lockout This is idiotic. Nine BILLION dollars! Nothing would destroy the league's credibility with the fans than for this labor dispute to drag on and affect the season. Get a deal done. Whatever you come up with will leave all involved fabulously wealthy.
No 18 game season Sixteen games is plenty for teams to separate themselves and prove who is worthy for post season. This will only make the experience for season ticket holders more expensive, more time-consuming, and expose the players to further injury. And along with this, keep the 4 game preseason. Coaches need that time to evaluate their rosters. How about lowering ticket prices for these games though, or making them separate from season ticket packages so fans who might not normally be able to go to games could afford to go? It would be a great opportunity for fathers to introduce sons to the game live. It's a must-see experience. As baseball has taught us, don't take your legacy for granted. Get more kids into the stadiums.
The only improvement needed on this near perfect sports product is clarification on illegal hits. I get frustrated seeing players flagged for "helmet to helmet" contact when they're making a "form" tackle with their head up only to have the ball carrier duck, resulting in helmet to helmet contact. Meanwhile, other players catapult themselves with their heads down or with only their shoulders in an effort to dislodge the ball or the ball carrier's head and aren't flagged. Get rid of the "helmet to helmet" language and focus on proper tackling. If the head is up, no flag. If the head is down, or it's a shoulder tackle, throw the flag. It's that simple. This will decrease the risk of paralysis or concussion and make the call easier for the officials to make.
You are healthy, NFL. Even in tough economic times, you've got 9 BILLION dollars in revenue to divvy up. Recognize your superior business model and follow that age-old maxim, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."Tags: Cincinnati, Cincinnati Bengals, Football, NFL, NFL Lockout

Sydney ranks as the second-most-unaffordable housing market
Sydney ranks as the second-most-unaffordable housing market in the English-speaking world, stoking fears runaway price increases have made Australia a less equitable country.
Update Sydney was ahead of only Hong Kong in a survey which ranked 325 markets by their affordability. Melbourne came in at No. 321 and the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast also rated badly.
The Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey covering markets in six English-speaking nations and Hong Kong found that the ratio of house prices to median annual household income was 9.6 in Sydney. It put the median house price at $634,300 and median income $66,200.
Hong Kong had an income/house price ratio of 11.4, while Saginaw, in Michigan, US, ranked No. 1 with 1.6.
Demographia, a US-New Zealand anti-regulation group, considers markets with a median multiple of three or less "affordable", while those with 5.1 or more are considered "severely unaffordable". All major markets in Australia were considered "severely unaffordable", the report concluded.
A US geographer and author, Joel Kotkin, said that even after the housing bubble implosion in the US and Britain beginning in 2008, the ratio of home prices to incomes has continued to grow in major cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, London, Vancouver and Toronto.

The National Women's History Museum and United States Studies of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars invite you to a lecture in the series The Past, Present, and Future of U.S. Women's History. Dr. Robin Lakoff of the University of California at Berkeley will give a lecture entitled: "Language Makes History: Intersections of Language, Gender and Politics" on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 from 4pm-5:30pm at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC. Dr. Lakoff is a professor of Pragmatics and Sociolinguists.
Dr. Lakoff writes: "Language is sometimes compared unfavorably to actions as soft or unreal: "Words are feminine, deeds masculine," according to one Italian proverb. But this antithesis, however tempting, is deceptive: words and acts go hand in hand. One place where that connection is highly visible is in the change in women's status in America over the last half century. Read the rest of this entry »
As mentioned in an earlier post, spring signals a return to outdoor sports for many Americans. In the past week, two stories about women and sports have caught our eye here at the Museum. First, there is controversy about whether or not to allow women into the Augusta Golf Club, site of this year's Masters Tournament. Here is an article about this from Bloomberg.com:
"Corporate executives connected with Augusta National Golf Club ducked the issue of its all-male membership throughout the four-day Masters Tournament that concluded yesterday."Click here for full article.
This weekend marked an important event for women in sports, the reunion of the "Original Nine" a group of female tennis players who started their own tour in 1970. — Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Peaches Bartkowicz, Julie Heldman, Kerry Melville Reid, Kristy Pigeon, Nancy Richey, Valerie Ziegenfuss and Judy Tegart Dalton met on April 6 during the Family Circle Cup, the longest-running tennis tournament for women. Learn more in this New York Times article:
"In a farmhouse in the village of Durham Lead outside Melbourne, Australia, a single American dollar bill is framed and proudly displayed. Judy Tegart Dalton has kept that dollar for nearly 42 years, one small memento in the great battle for women's rights." Click here for full article.
The National Women's History Museum is pleased to announce the launch of its latest Online Exhibit, "Daring Dames: A Photographic Exhibit." The rare and inspiring photographs in this exhibit depict women, in many eras, who have demonstrated curiosity about the larger world and remarkable resourcefulness in their ability to navigate in it. These adventurous women have, through their daring, transformed the notion of female identity and the popular perception of acceptable female roles. They have broken through the limitations of social convention to explore and conquer new realms—geographic, physical, mental, and metaphoric.
Donna Henes and Daile Kaplan, co-curators of "Daring Dames" stated, "The exhibition celebrates the spirit of adventure and indefatigable determination of these daring dames to manifest their wildest American dreams. These pioneering women are an inspiration to all of us."
To view the exhibit, go to http://www.nwhm.org/html/exhibits/daringdames/index.html.
A comment on the Huffington Post article:
"Wow, slow news day? I feel like I need to eat a steak there was so little meat in this story. On one hand you are telling us how other museums have taken 20 or more years to get places "on the mall" and then you end this piece by encouraging donors to ask "Why is it taking so long?" That seem somewhat incongruous. But it is a good question, why is it taking so long.
It is shameful that the contributions of women have not been officially recognized in our nations capital. And I applaud these women for trying to do something about it. It is my understanding that legislation to grant this organization a place on the mall has been introduced several times and yet it goes nowhere. Perhaps we need to gender population of congress to match the gender population of the populous before something gets done about this.
Shame on these two female "reporters" for working so hard to make something out of nothing and in doing so damaging the reputation of an organization that only wants to pay homage to those who came before them. However as they say there is no bad publicity. If you read this "story" and can see past the spin, contact your congressman and tell then that 16 years IS too long to wait and it is time they act now. Grant this gender and this organization the place they deserve."

It's finally spring! Passover and Easter are over and Americans can now begin to celebrate the season in more worldly ways. For many, this means baseball. Spring training and exhibition games are now in full swing and fans nationwide are poised to spend hours, hot dogs in hand, cheering their team at thousands of diamonds across the country. From Little League to the majors, baseball is a beloved institution. But most Americans know little about the history of women in baseball.
I became interested in this while preparing our April women's history facts for Facebook. I came across this tidbit: In 1931, 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell, a minor leaguer, pitched in an exhibition game against the New York Yankees. She struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. The next day, the baseball commissioner voided her contract, saying baseball was too strenuous for women. This story is a perfect metaphor for the struggles women have gone through in their fight for equality. What I love most, however, is the photo I found of Jackie. She is clearly just a kid, but her stance, steely gaze and tight-lipped expression are those of a mature, professional player.
Yet Jackie Mitchell is just one of hundreds of female baseball players. The first team at any level to be paid to play baseball was the Dolly Vardens in 1867. They were African American women who began playing a full two years before the first male professional team and did so in corsets, long skirts, long sleeves and high button shoes. After Amelia Bloomer designed her famous Turkish-style pants, women donned them and took to the ball park as "Bloomer Girls" who traveled the country competing against male teams. They earned their living playing solid ball from the 1890s until the early 1930s. Yet, public opinion reflected an entrenched belief that baseball was far too dangerous and strenuous for the "delicate" female constitution.
Inroads were made when female softball leagues were formed. The All-American Girls Softball League was formed in 1943. It eventually became the 600-player-strong All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) which played for twelve seasons. These teams were immortalized in the 1992 film, A League of Their Own, and they finally dispelled the belief that women were too weak to play baseball.
After the AAGBL dissolved in 1954, few women were able to break the gender barrier of America's Pastime. Toni Stone, Connie Morgan and Mamie "Peanuts" Johnson played alongside men in the Negro Leagues, but significant female representation in the sport has never materialized. In 1998, minor league pitcher Ila Borders became the first woman to win a professional game, but still could not break into the majors and retired two years later.
This is yet another "forgotten" chapter in women's history which deserves to be more widely-known. If you find yourself in a ballpark this season, don't forget the girls of summer.
A Museum That's Still A Gleam in the Eye of Women
April 4, 2012 | by Janet Staihar
The Georgetown Dish (http://www.thegeorgetowndish.com/thedish/museum-thats-still-gleam-eye-women)
The still-yearned-for actual bricks-and-mortar structure of a National Women's History Museum in D.C. received moral support as former California Congresswoman Jane Harman, Bermuda's former premier Dame Pamela Gordon-Banks and other notable women personalities touted the venture at a reception Tuesday night.
Harman encouraged the project as upwards of 100 women gathered at the home of Judith Terra, chairman of the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
"I promise you it will happen; how fast it will happen is up to us," said Harman, the first female top executive for the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. She said she looks forward to a strong partnership between the center and the museum.
As an example of such a team, Harman pointed to the relatively new partnership between the international center and the Council of Women World Leaders, headed by secretary general Laura A. Liswood.
Museum President Joan Bradley Wages said Congress has before it legislation to build the museum "on the national mall or close to it" and she is hopeful of passage soon.
The museum idea boasts an impressively long list of board members and backers that includes members of Congress, businesspeople and celebrities. Meryl Streep, who this year won the Academy Award for best actress in a leading role for her portrayal of Dame Margaret Thatcher in Iron Lady, is the national spokeswoman for the museum. www.NWHM.org
Caribbean social and political trailblazer Gordon-Banks, former premier of Bermuda and Harman's longtime friend, made a special trip to D.C. to throw her support behind the museum project. When Gordon-Banks was sworn in as premier in 1997, she became the island's first female leader and the youngest in its four-century-long status as a British colony. She also is Terra's daughter-in-law.
Among those attending were familiar media and political faces including Susan Blumenthal, former U.S. assistant surgeon general; Botswana's Ambassador to the U.S. Tebelelo Seretse; former D.C. City Councilwoman at-large Carol Schwartz; Mahani Abu Zar, wife of the ambassador of Brunei; Kate Irwin, Coca-Cola's diplomatic relations representative; museum promoter Jan Du Plain; Eleanor Clift, writer for Newsweek/The Daily Beast; Donna Shor, writer for Washington Life magazine; D.C. activist Virginia E. Hayes Williams; and Arts and Humanities Commission member Rhona Friedman.

Projects worldwide
By clicking the savings bank symbol you get to the regions, where Sparkassenstiftung is actively involved.
Since 1992, SBFIC has implemented all kinds of projects in Central and Eastern Europe, helping to re-structure (former) savings banks into successful retail banks, establish bank training centres and generally support overall financial-sector development. Whereas the focus of activities in the mid-nineties was on Central and Eastern Europe (including Russia), it is now on the post-conflict countries of Southeastern Europe.
Latin America and Caribbean
SBFIC activities in Latin America are focussing on financial institutions with a strong social mandate: in Peru SBFIC helped generate a system of municipal savings banks and in Columbia it promoted the implementation of micro-lending projects. In 2003, Mexico became a major SBFIC partner country. SBFIC has helped re-engineer the Mexican savings-banks system, mostly by strengthening and developing a network for small local banks. Also in the Mexican context, SBFIC is committed to supporting re-structuring efforts by a large group of about 300 small local savings banks.More
The main focus of SBFIC activity in Africa has been on helping post-office savings banks evolve into independent and viable financial institutions. Aside from the formal aspects of this transition process, key components of SBFIC work in countries such as Botswana, Namibia, and Uganda include the development of human resources and new products. On top of this, SBFIC is promoting the institutional development of other financial institutions with a mandate to serve the rural and urban poor, e.g. in South Africa.More
Caucasus, Central Asia and Middle East
Nowadays, SBFIC is implementing projects in all three Caucasus countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Work here focuses on general support to retail banks, "downscaling" and the implementation of corporate governance standards. In Central Asia, SBFIC is helping a traditional deposit-taking institution evolve into a modern retail bank.More
East and Southeast Asia
East and Southeast Asia have become an important region for SBFIC over the last couple of years. Of specific significance here is the successful SBFIC-backed transformation of a micro-finance institution into a formal rural bank (CARD, Philippines). Other projects include the launch of a credit-risk management system in Thailand and the implementation of the Financial Sector Development Programme in China (in a consortium lead by the European Savings Banks Group). The Sparkassenstiftung is strongly involved in Sri Lanka and Indonesia - within the scope of an extensive downscaling project micro loans are extended to micro entrepreneurs that have been affected by the tsunami catastrophe.More

First Steiner Sports Auction of Old Yankee Stadium Memorabilia Ends This Week
First Steiner Sports Auction of Old Yankee Stadium Memorabilia Ends This Week
The big business of breaking up old Yankee Stadium into smaller pieces and getting it into the hands of collectors has fallen to Steiner Sports, one of the most recognizable names in the sports memorabilia industry. The company's first auction of artifacts large and small ends this Sunday, and even in a down economy, fans of the Bronx Bombers are showing their willingness to buy all kinds of keepsakes from the House That Ruth Built.
Just about anything that once was part of the old ballpark can be found in the Steiner auction. The list of goodies includes signs of all kinds - like the ones pointing the way to Monument Park and others alerting visitors that the bleachers are alcohol free - storage bins, trash cans and clubhouse chairs.
According to founder and CEO Brandon Steiner, even with bidding slower than hoped for on some items, the company is pleased with the response from fans so far and is in it for the long haul.
"This will be a 12- to 18-month business, and there are still smart buys out there," said Steiner recently to Forbes.com.
With three days to go in the initial auction, a number of items have yet to see any bids. These pieces range in minimum bid from $375 for a Yankees lamp stand from the traveling secretary's office to a cool 25 grand for the clubhouse locker once used by Alex Rodriguez. Other things looking to find new homes are turnstiles, the wooden batting helmet holder from the Yanks dugout and glass doors to the luxury suites.
To help drum up interest in some of the pieces that aren't getting much action, Steiner is turning to someone who made some of his own history in the old Yankee Stadium, Reggie Jackson. Himself an avid collector of baseball memorabilia, Jackson is helping promote the sale in return for securing a portion of the proceeds for his charitable foundation, though he told Forbes he had to pay to obtain his own locker.
For those hoping for a more affordable piece of Yankees history, Steiner has small sections of freeze-dried grass from the old field available for $80 each. The company also has plans on selling off pieces of the dark section of the stadium past the outfield wall that gave hitters a dark background for tracking incoming pitches.
The initial Yankee Stadium auction items close on Sunday, June 26. To get in on the bidding or simply gawk at a wide selection of Yankees relics, visit auction.steinersports.com.

The good news is that the Mountain View Whisman School District's "deficit spending" does not cut as deep into reserve funds as had been anticipated by the projected budget drafted in June 2010, according to Shaw-Lee Ouyang, the district chief business officer.
Back in June, estimates handed down from Sacramento had Craig Goldman, then the district's chief financial officer, projecting that Mountain View Whisman would be $950,000 in the red by June 30, 2011, the fiscal year's end.
But the second interim budget report for 2010-11, presented to the board of trustees on March 17, shows that the district is on track to spend about $700,000 more than what it will receive in revenues from the state — roughly $250,000 less than originally anticipated.
The reduction came thanks to unexpected increases in funding from the state, Ouyang said. "That's a good sign. It's an improvement."
Ouyang was quick to add a caveat: "The state is still in chaos," she said. "I won't say that this is a pattern going forward."
California is currently grappling with a $26.6 billion budget shortfall, and although Gov. Jerry Brown has said no more cuts will come to the state's primary and secondary schools, there is much that is still up in the air. As things currently stand, Ouyang said, "We can only plan year to year."
The report did not take into account the money the district will receive as a result of the new Shoreline Community joint powers agreement, which will give Mountain View Whisman about $6.8 million over the next three years. Ouyang did not include the new revenue in her report because at the time she was writing it, the new agreement had not been finalized.
"We're very lucky to be having that money come into our district at this time," she said, noting that it will help the district maintain a "better cash flow during a difficult time."
Still, Ouyang said, the new Shoreline arrangement is not a silver bullet. The current agreement is scheduled to expire in 2013. "I can't predict what will happen in 2013," she said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2014 (1266 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was, as we mentioned on this page yesterday, a full weekend for festivals.
With both the Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival and the Dakota Nation Winterfest in town at the same time, the city was kept hopping.
So, apparently, were city police, who made 38 arrests from Friday through Sunday. About two-thirds of those were for the type of drunken rowdiness that you might expect during a pair of festivals.
Of course, the entire Winterfest is alcohol-free, as are several of the Winter Festival pavilions, but it is no secret that drinking and partying are major attractions for a large number of festival-goers at each event.
Before the weekend even started, the Brandon Police Service said they were confident they wouldn't face any extra workload from the pair of festivals at the same time.
"Based on the past, these events on their own haven't posed an exorbitant problem for us," Sgt. Mike Pelechaty told the Sun last week. "Our plans are in place based on the fact that neither of them in the past few years has presented a public safety problem."
Yesterday, after the festivals were over, the police Twitter account, @BrandonPolice, tweeted that "There were no incidents reported to BPS in relation to either Winter Festival that took place in Brandon over the weekend."
Except 38 arrests over the weekend is quite a bit higher than normal. That includes 13 arrests Friday night for various offences, such as underage drinking and breach of the peace. And then another 13 arrests on Saturday. That, on top of the regular police duties, such as responding to a stabbing, executing drug search warrants and rousing a man who apparently slept through his appointment to show up at jail.
Perhaps none of the arrests actually happened at either festival location. But it does nobody any good to pretend that there wasn't an elevated level of police activity over the weekend. Or that it has nothing to do with the thousands of well-lubricated people milling about.
In searching through previous police press releases, we had to go back before Christmas to find anything near the same number of arrests (there were 15 on the night of the winter solstice). But even that was just a single night in December, not this weekend's two in a row. A normal weekend night might see maybe half a dozen people in the drunk tank.
It does seem like the police were able to handle the increased workload, and we commend them for doing so without unnecessarily beefing up patrols. From all accounts, organizers at each event also did an excellent job making sure everyone enjoyed themselves in as safe a manner as possible.
But large numbers of people combined with large amounts of alcohol is a well-known risk factor for safety challenges. It's not prudent to pretend that those challenges don't exist.

About 200 works from as far afield as Egypt and China, dating from the eighth to the 19th Centuries, will be showcased at the four-month event.
The artefacts are part of the State Hermitage Museum collection in St Petersburg.
The exhibition will feature metalworks, textiles, ceramics, glass and jewels.
Last year, the Royal Museum staged an exhibition of art from the reign of the Russian Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra, which was also part of the Hermitage Museum's collection.
'World class'
This summer's show, called Beyond the Palace Walls, will coincide with the year-long Festival of Muslim Cultures in Britain.
Dr Gordon Rintoul, director of the national museums of Scotland, said the Russian museum's Islamic collection was "one of the most extensive and respected in the world".
"I am delighted that we are consolidating our relationship with the State Hermitage Museum by showcasing a major exhibition of Islamic art from their world class collections," he added.
The event's centrepiece will be an 18th Century tent from the Ottoman empire which visitors can enter.

On The Gains Black Women Have Made And The Work We Still Must Do
As a 26-year-old, college-educated Black woman, the day that commemorates Martin Luther King Jr., or any other Civil Rights leader, has special significance to me. I am a direct beneficiary of the sacrifices made by Black women and men to secure rights for minority people in the United States of America; my education and career the result of their fight and dreams.
I am incredibly proud that Black women, like myself, have not squandered the opportunities won by Civil Rights leaders. The demographic, of which I am proudly a part, has committed itself to personal, professional and community development– to beat out all other demographics in overall college enrollment trends, launch social movements, enter into various fields from which we were once barred from participation, head Fortune 500 companies and especially demand visibility for ourselves and further push for representation from greater society. Like many other Black women, I made that commitment despite coming from very little.
My mother arrived to the United States of America as a Caribbean immigrant, struggling to escape an abusive relationship. She was a live-in nanny for years before she put herself through nursing school, despite overt racism that threatened her progress at the internally segregated institution through which she matriculated. With access to more substantial finances as a nurse, my mother travelled from coast to coast seeking the best possible educational opportunities for her children. We encountered constant racism. Drove through areas where Confederate flags were displayed in every window; on every moving vehicle, and our innocent smiles were met with cold, degrading stares. Literally fought for the right to sustain an identity that incorporated my island roots, "Yankee" sensibilities and blackness. Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
For this reason, precisely, I understand the United States of America and its race relations from a unique perspective. I understand America's racism in a way only a Black person can. In a way only a woman raised in a single parent, immigrant household can. In a way that only someone who has seen the extent of the country's backwardness– it's virulent racism and violent ignorance– can.
I am uniquely positioned, in this moment of time and history, to speak to the experiences with racism I have had in this country that have threatened not only my physical well being, but my psychological and emotional stability. I write about these experiences not to make White folk feel guilty, but because I must. The dignity of future Black little girls and boys depends on the honesty of Black people given the opportunity to speak, because of the sacrifices of so many, including Martin Luther King Jr.
I write about living in a Jersey City neighborhood with a prominent center dedicated to "Write to Lifers," because I must give account of the viscousness of mass incarceration that has stolen the lives of many Black men and women for profit and political gain.
I write about the constant sexual harassment I faced as a child and the lack of positive media representations of Black women, because Black women suffer from the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases and violence.
I write about feminism's failed intersectionality, because it never provided me the guidance and support I needed as a Black girl or women and only created expectations of society that only White women may lay claim to.
I write about my attendance at integrated schools, which internally reproduced segregation by forcing black children into remedial classes while their White peers were bound on the college track; About the subversive nature of racism in white liberal universities (), because America's education is failing children and young adults of color.
I write about the pain I feel while I watch White people cyclically appropriate the cultural property of black people with no regard for our struggle or history, because that cycle seems never ending.
I write about white fear and violence — like the shooting at Charleston Church that claimed 9 innocent Black lives in their place of worship— to forewarn Black people of the dangers to come, represented by today's Republican politics that have given voice and support to hate rhetoric and claims that "we should make America great again", despite the reality that going back in time for any Black person in this country would instantaneously negate their personhood.
I write about fearing for the life of my partner — because he is Black — after reading reports that a young man was shot and killed by police in a Walmart, while speaking on the phone to his girlfriend, for walking around with a toy gun, because the collective fear and pain that we, as Black people feel, as we watch another innocent life claimed can only be soothed by the solidarity created by acknowledging those feelings.
I continue to write about reconciliation of these race issues, despite the fact that I have grown to understand that many simply do not care to understand and cognitive dissonance will force them to reject my words; even if in doing so they are dismissing my humanity.
I wish I awoke to the day where I no longer needed to write. Or where my writing would not brand me as "angry" merely because it speaks the truth about the conditions in which I was raised or the realities that I face as a Black woman every single day.
Instead, even my dreams are haunted by the fear that things will never change. That this struggle is enduring and I will lose, friends, family, neighbors and supporters in the chaos of it. Only a few nights ago, I had a dream where a beautiful young Black man with dreadlocks lay lifeless, his body mangled in front of a convenience store, blood running from the bullet wounds that pierced his skull. Women and children ran about screaming. I stood lifeless.
A few months ago, I had a dream that a little Black boy told me he did not want to go to school anymore, because two children were gunned down in front of their school while walking home.
I had a dream that police pulled me over in a car full of friends and I was only redeemed by the tears of my White girlfriend whose pleas and demands for grace were met with placations.
My dreams have become mere replications of my reality; limited by racism, intruded on by inequality. And in that way, I constantly feel like a failure.
As proud as I am to be a Black woman, to relish in the victories of our foremothers and forefathers, inspired by the hopes and dreams of my predecessors, I am sometimes disappointed in myself for failing to believe in a dream of better for tomorrow.
I am tired of dreams; all dreamed out.
Instead, all I have is my story– my truth, my reality. A reality that begs for change, accountability and collective betterment. And a story that will bare honest testimony to the great America that consistently refuses to concede to a great dream of equality.

High-Speed Trading Is Progress, Not Piracyby
They steal from the rich and keep it! That sums up the criticism of E-pirates, aka high-frequency traders, the current bad boys of the financial markets. Many retail and institutional investors believe that as much as $2 billion annually in high-frequency trading profits are coming out of their own pockets.
High-frequency technology has also been wrongly blamed for sudden instability in the markets, most recently when the Bats equity exchange its initial public offering after a computer glitch caused chaotic trading in its own stock and others.
But criticisms of HFT are overblown, and regulating potential abuses isn't as hard as many believe. In fact, more regulation -- unless wisely applied -- is likely to do more harm than good.
Critics are concerned that traders with "low-latency" technology, who often pay to locate their servers near an exchange's systems to decrease messaging delays, have the earliest access to market data and may front-run other market participants.
But information-timing asymmetries have always existed. Specialists, over-the-counter market makers and floor traders have always had price information ahead of the rest of the market. In the mid-1990s, the "SOES bandits" took advantage of human market makers by using Nasdaq's Small Order Execution System to place orders before humans could update their bids and offers.
Speed of information and execution is everyone's objective in the marketplace -- and the current trading infrastructure is no more than a logical extension of a long-term trend.
Benefits of HFT
That's not a bad thing. If an investor plans to hold a stock for weeks, months or years, it isn't clear that he is disadvantaged -- and, in fact, he may benefit from HFT.
In a study published March 19, Ana Avramovic of Credit Suisse Group AG showed that intraday volatility has actually been steadily decreasing since 2005, even as HFT has increased. In 2008, of course, daily volatility shot to the highest level since 1932, as traders responded to the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. But 2011 ranked only 16th in terms of daily volatility in that period, and was less volatile than 2000 and 2002, years when HFT was less prevalent.
Avramovic also found tighter spreads and greater liquidity for the national best bid and offer since 2004. She concluded that, as far as HFTs were concerned, "at a minimum, markets are not worse for their presence." This has been corroborated by a number of academic and industry sources.
The reason why is that automated market makers (or AMMs), a subset of HFTs, are liquidity providers. Their quote-and-cancel rates may be high, but unless they offer the best price in the market, they won't get order flow.
Some argue that AMMs are less reliable than traditional market makers and that their liquidity evaporates in a crisis -- as in the May 6, 2010 "flash crash." Some AMMs did indeed abandon the market that day, and left the infamous, and now banned, stub quotes (buy at $0.01, sell at $10,000) as evidence. But AMM systems automatically stop trading when market data appear out of normal bounds or when regulatory capital reaches prescribed limits. These are reasonable actions. Had AMMs kept trading, they would have been criticized for not having appropriate risk systems in place.
More to the point, after a few minutes of analysis, managers responded to the flash crash by quickly restarting their systems and driving the market to a recovery within half an hour -- as opposed to the year it took to recover from the stock-market crash of 1987. A report on the flash crash by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission notably did not place the blame with high-frequency traders. Those who question the reliability of AMM liquidity forget that liquidity itself has always been a fleeting and fitful commodity in our markets.
Further Scrutiny
Do esoteric quant models, which also require little human interaction, pose a threat? It depends on the model. Models based on momentum strategies may exacerbate volatility. But quants are most often based on arbitrage strategies, which I believe smooth markets and lower volatility. In examining many of the models, it is clear that they use techniques similar to the technical analysis I learned decades ago -- only now exploiting access to real-time data. This is neither illegal nor unexpected. It's merely a consequence of technological advances.
Some HFT practices do require further scrutiny. Momentum ignition (in which traders take a position and then start rumors or place orders to quickly drive the market up or down) and layering (where traders place orders in the market-order books to imply substantial buying or selling pressure without the intention of executing) could both open the door to market manipulation.
But we need specificity in identifying such strategies, rather than cracking down on high-frequency traders as a homogenous class.
Regulators worldwide are responding to calls to address perceived market abuses. Studies have been undertaken by an alphabet soup of organizations: the FSA, IOSCO, SEC, CFTC, FINRA, FRB and others. All these studies suffer from the same problems -- too much anecdotal information and insufficient relevant data. We still can't tell if a 300-share buy order originated as a market-maker quote, my aunt's retail order, a quant trade or part of an institutional algorithm programmed to buy 500,000 shares.
There is a good solution to this problem. As I've previously argued, all market orders should be coded by trading strategy. This information would be available only for use by regulators, who could analyze trading trends or a problematic market event. However, since all order-management systems, financial-information exchange (or FIX) messages and execution systems would need to be modified to carry the data, many in the industry reject this suggestion as too costly. Hopefully that attitude will change.
Structural Reforms
In January 2010, the SEC identified a number of other problem areas that need to be addressed in its excellent "concept release" on market structure. Most important, we need to direct attention to broad structural issues. For example, we should consider creating new trading venues exclusive to institutional block investors, and perhaps allowing block traders to opt out of the SEC's "trade-through rule," which requires buying shares at the best available price, even when that's a hindrance to large trades. A new call market limited to small and mid-cap stocks might increase liquidity and tighten spreads for stocks with low average daily volume.
Finally, we need to ensure that all markets and asset classes are regulated in a consistent way. That means, for example, uniform rules across exchanges on circuit breakers, trading collars, trade-cancellation rules and systemic-risk models.
Let's regulate to ensure fairness and not to hinder technological advance. Perhaps high-frequency traders are the more useful privateers -- and not the pirates.

Business Law by Tom Ramsey
It is not unusual for a lessor to protect itself by including what is known as an antiwaiver provision in a lease. Sometimes it applies to rent and provides that acceptance of a payment less than the amount then due is not a waiver of the lessor's right to the balance.
B. Michael Gould owns a commercial building. He leased it to a Learning Tree University. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, Gould received a $24,165 security deposit. The lease provided that no part of the security deposit would be considered as prepayment for any monies to be paid to Gould by Corinthian.
Subsequently, Learning Tree assigned the lease to Corinthian Colleges, Inc. The assignment included an amendment to the lease permitting Corinthian to terminate the lease four years early. However, early termination required at least six months written notice from Corinthian to Gould, accompanied by $136,500 and the payment by Corinthian of an additional $136,500 to Gould by the early termination date.
Corinthian served its early termination notice on Gould and, with it, delivered the first $136,500 to him. However, the final payment by Corinthian to Gould was in the form of a $120,057.10 check and the application of $16,442.90 of the security deposit to reach the $136,500 sum. Corinthian made no claim to the balance of the security deposit, asking that it be applied to cover some disputed common area maintenance charges by Gould.
Gould did not return the partial payment. Instead, he sent a letter to Corinthian claiming that it had breached the lease by failing to make the last installment in full. Corinthian refused to pay anything more.
Gould next initiated a lawsuit asking the trial court to declare that Corinthian had failed to exercise its right of early termination and is bound by the lease for the balance of the term and the rental that will become due during the balance of the term.
The trial court found in Corinthian's favor. It found that Corinthian substantially complied with the obligation and that Gould waived any noncompliance by keeping the early termination payments.
Gould appealed.
The opening paragraph in the Court of Appeal opinion was as follows: "A lease contains an antiwaiver provision. Yet, we conclude the lessor waived certain rights under the lease, even if the antiwaiver provision applies. There is a simple explanation for this seeming paradox. Lessor, the party arguing waiver, waived the clause prohibiting waiver." The court reasoned that the antiwaiver provision applied to Corinthian's monetary obligations. The payment for early termination was not an obligation under the lease. Had Corinthian made no such payments, the lease would simply have continued. Nothing in the lease prohibits a waiver of defects in Corinthian's performance of the early termination provision. It added, "For Gould to keep the money and claim it does not constitute waiver is absurd, not to mention unconscionable."
Gould was also unhappy that the trial court failed to deal with a purported damage claim based on the assertion that Corinthian left the premises in less than exemplary condition. The Court of Appeal's response: "It is quite understandable how the trial court and Corinthian could conclude Gould was not seeking damages. His complaint is anything but a model of pleading and his Case Management Statement and trial brief are misleading at best. Nevertheless, Gould's complaint, liberally construed, is sufficient to appraise Corinthian that he was seeking damages . . ."
The matter was reversed and sent back to the trial court for a trial limited to the issue of damages related to the condition of the premises when Corinthian departed. In all other respects, the judgment was affirmed. Corinthian was awarded its costs on appeal.
This case is entitled Gould v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc. It was decided in 2011.

(Excerpted from the DIAMOND BUYER'S GUIDE)
The following price chart is based on typical net retail prices (before sales tax) in retail (bricks and mortar) stores in a typical midsize city. The final price of any diamond will vary due to the unique cutting features and inclusion pattern in any given stone. The most important value of the price chart is that it allows you to see the price differences between various color and clarity grades as well as the geometric price increase relative to carat weight.
The prices on this grid are based on premium (60/60) or near ideal cut round diamonds with GIA, EGL, or AGS certificates. For non branded, true ideal or hearts and arrow cuts, add about 10%. For branded ideals or hearts and arrows, add 15-30%, depending on the brand name. The Aglaia is one of the most expensive branded cuts and can have as much as a 30-40% premium. Most of the non-branded fancy shapes will be very close to these base prices with the exception of a well cut marquise which will have a 10-20% premium. The branded fancies will have the same pattern of premiums as the branded rounds. Diamonds without certificates will be from 5-10% less than the price chart.
If you are shopping the internet, look for as much as 10-20% discount below these prices; prices for certified, ideal cut diamonds on the internet are almost identical to those on the price chart. Keep in mind that this discount is due to the fact that there is little or no personal interaction between you and the seller; it is a simple electronic transaction requiring little time on the part of the seller.
If you are shopping in a major metropolitan area or one with a higher cost of living than the Southeast then you can expect prices to be higher.
The price list will be updated from time to time. Where the chart has zeros, there were insufficient data to establish a valid base price.

'Absurdities' attacked at disease inquiry
The handling of the foot-and-mouth crisis at a national level has been criticised by the National Farmers' Union (NFU) at a Devon public inquiry into the outbreak.
At the opening session of the five-day inquiry, which is being co-ordinated by Devon County Council in Exeter, the chairman of the Devon branch of the NFU, David Hill, said: "Control and command at a national level was abysmal.
"MAFF were playing catch-up from day one."
Devon was one of the counties worst affected by the disease, with 173 cases confirmed and around 390,000 animals slaughtered.
Professor Ian Mercer is chairing a nine-strong panel which will examine about 400 detailed submissions and hear about 50 witnesses.
He said: "A large proportion of the submissons are from individuals - from farmers, traders, and from people whose domestic lives have been grossly affected."
Mr Hill, who was the first to give evidence, was also critical of the burden placed on Ben Bennett, the vet put in charge at the outset of the Devon outbreak.
Mr Hill said: "He was being asked to be the information officer, he was being asked to be a manager at a level he'd never been trained to do, but to leave him there for the first three weeks on his own, a vet, fronting up the entire operation, is one of the absurdities of the way this was handled in Devon."
Epidemic prevention
Jeremy Worth, from the Countryside Agency, said blanket bans on access to the countryside were too damaging to the economy.
A review of blanket bans should take place before another crisis hit the countryside, he said.
Devon County Council launched its investigation into the crisis in August, inviting submissions from across the community.
It said it would complement the government's three independent inquiries into the transmission, prevention and control of epidemics, and the future of farming and food.
The Devon investigation is the only local inquiry in which the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has agreed to take part.
Live broadcast
A report on the hearing will be sent to one of the government's inquiries, the Policy Commission on the Future of Farming, by the end of the month.
Professor Mercer said: "We have got an opportunity here to put forward the views of the farmers themselves.
"I hope the emotion and the distress which was caused goes through the formal print of a written-up result of this hearing, and that central government take note of it."
The hearing is being broadcast live in sound and pictures via the Internet in what is believed to be a pioneering move.
The hearings continue at County Hall, Exeter, until Friday.

Rents at Manhattan's premium offices experienced their biggest drop in more than three years as financial firms postponed making decisions on space until after the presidential election, data provider CompStak found.
Rents for "Class A" space in the largest and most expensive office market in the US fell 7.1 per cent in the third quarter from the previous three months, CompStak reported.
It was the biggest decline since the months following the financial crisis, which led to rent cuts in late 2008 and early 2009.
"A lot of financial institutions are leery about making decisions in advance of the presidential election, and also some general unease about the economic climate," said CompStak co-founder and chief executive Michael Mandel.
Class A rents in Manhattan fell to an average of $US58.42 a square foot (0.093 sq m) as of September 30, from $US62.88 at the end of the second quarter.
Unlike reports issued by brokerages, CompStak tracks rents agreed to, including the impact of such concessions as free months, rather than what landlords are seeking. Its report shows that the financial industry, the traditional driver of New York City office rents, is giving way to technology, media and advertising firms.
Such firms steered clear of midtown Manhattan's skyscrapers, preferring the older, low-rise buildings of midtown south, Mr Mandel said.
Agreements signed by these firms had helped to push rents for all types of Manhattan office space up 1.2 per cent to $US49.64 a square foot.
"The midtown south upturn and the increase in Class B space . . . [is] enough to offset the decline in Class A space," said Mr Mandel.

" UK web hosting providers "
I have tried A LOT of a web hosts and have finally settled with these guys. Firstly, they have a decent service, nice and fast and reliable. Secondly, they have cracking support. These guys reply to support requests at all times of the day and night really fast and it is always a response I can understand and is helpful. Cannot recommend them enough. I am always telling my friends and colleagues about these guys when they ask me for a web hosting recommendation.
I have been with catalyst2 now for 7 years and I really cannot fault them. There uptime is excellent and their support (when I rarely need it) is flawless. I use them for projects large and small and am always recommending them to friends and colleagues. They do both Windows and Linux hosting. I mainly use the Linux hosting for hosting Wordpress sites, Joomla sites and some e-commerce sites. I always get a very personal service when contacting them and nothing is ever too much trouble. I have contacted them via their freephone number and via live chat. They are also pretty cheap with their basic Mega Deal package costing just £14 a year.
Catalyst2 are a UK-based web hosting company who I've been using for a number of years.
For anyone not familiar with the term "web hosting" it's the computer that's permanently connected to the Internet, where your websites files (documents and images) are stored.
There's loads of hosting companies that you could go with, all of which offer similar sorts of products, but what makes Catalyst2 stand out for me are their excellent prices and fantastic customer service.
A single hosting account can cost from as little as £11.99 per year (+ VAT) if it's hosted on a Linux server. The hosting includes pretty much everything you'd expect: PHP support, a MySQL database, phpMyAdmin, POP3 email. For me, this represents excellent value and I have at least 3 domains whose hosting is currently with them. You are limited to 250mb disk space and only 2gb of monthly bandwidth, but this should be enough for most small sites.
For bigger fish, Catalyst2 offer reseller packages (enabling you to host multiple sites on one server and sell the hosting off as your own). These packages start from a very reasonable £25 per month, or £250 per year if you pay up-front. These are pretty attractive prices and could see you turnover a small fortune if you've got enough clients for a server.
From what I can gather Catalyst2 are only a relatively small company, but if I ever need to contact their support department, I often get a clear straight-forward answer in a matter of minutes - and for me you can't really ask for more than that!
The website's design makes it easy to see what's on offer and a chat facility allows you to speak to a staff member should have any questions.
Ordering your web hosting couldn't really be easier either... Simply select your package (oo err) and click the Order Now button. You'll be guided through the ordering process with a helping hand and once paid for, your new account will be set-up within a matter of minutes.
One word of warning though: don't register your domain names through Catalyst2 - use 123-reg.co.uk instead. A quick price comparison:
123-Reg = £9.99/year
Catalyst2 = £17.50/year
123-Reg = £2.99/year
Catalyst2 = £12.50/year
But despite their rather high domain registration prices, I really can't fault Catalyst2 for excellent cheap web hosting.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — Howard County jurors heard a recording of a man telling investigators his version of the strangling of a fellow patient at a state maximum-security mental hospital.
In the poor recording played in court Tuesday, jurors could hear El Soudani El Wahhabi cry as he tells state police investigators of his suicide pact with Susan Sachs and her death at Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center in 2010.
El Wahhabi, who is charged with murder, said he "chickened out" when it came time to kill himself.
An investigator read aloud a note El Wahhabi gave investigators that explained that he was suffering, trapped in a transgender life and that Sachs was also transgendered. He apologized in the note for killing Sachs, but said they'd be together in the next life.

of Prescott
Cocilovo, PA-C, LAc. 928-445-0141
The Acupuncture Center of Prescott
The goal of the Acupuncture Center of Prescott is to provide natural nontoxic methods to effectively treat and alleviate physical pain and illness and emotional stress. Thousands of years old, acupuncture is among the first holistic medicines, meaning that it has always recognized the unity of the body and mind. If you treat the body, you treat the mind. If you treat the mind, you treat the body. Western science and western medicine have only begun to appreciate this within the past twenty years, epitomized by the research of pharmacologist Candace Pert, PH.D.
The Acupuncture Center of Prescott was established in 1989 by Anna Cocilovo, L.Ac., PA-C . She brings a vast wealth of experience encompassing both Western medicine as a physician assistant since 1978, and as a practicing acupuncturist since 1987. This gives her a unique ability to assess and understand health conditions from both the energetic Qi (chee) perspective of Oriental medicine and from the physical biochemical view point. As her first Sensei, (teacher, master) Masahilo Nakazono said, they are two sides of the same coin.
Acupuncture is most famous for its effective treatment of pain. Not as well appreciated in the Western world is its application for internal conditions such as chronic fatigue, asthma, allergies, menopausal symptoms, menstrual pain and disorders, aftermath of stroke, immune system illnesses, depression, and anxiety. If you suffer from any of these conditions and more, acupuncture may help where other treatments have failed. A true preventive medicine, acupuncture is utilized by many to maintain and maximize their health and sense of well being.
Anna's passion has always been natural healing, long before alternative medicine was "in". Her practice is primarily acupuncture, but she also incorporates Colored Light Therapy, Chinese herbs, diet and nutrition.
"When you stand a pole in the sun it casts a shadow."

Atlanta: Asthma Capital of The USA
Atlanta may not be breathing so well tonight...or ever, really.
Atlanta has been crowned the U.S. asthma capital for 2007, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, which has just released the annual rankings of the 100 most challenging places to live for people with the respiratory illness.
Why Atlanta? Well apparently Altanta's higher-than-average crude death rate (CDR) for asthma, high year-round pollen levels, bad air pollution and lack of smoking bans in restaurants, bars or workplaces contributes to the title.
To see the other cities making the top 10 list,

Microsoft has released new emulator images for Windows Phone 8.0 GDR 2 and GDR 3. The updates require Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 or VS 2013 RTM, and install directly over the Windows Phone 8 SDK. However, they won't replace emulators you have already installed, meaning you can have emulation for multiple builds of Microsoft's mobile platform available. Also, emulator images can be removed individually from the Windows Control Panel's Programs and Features menu.
The Windows Phone 8 Update 2 emulator is revised to reflect Windows Phone 8 build 8.0.10322. The only change in this update is included support for Visual Studio 2013 RTM. So if you have only this IDE installed on your machine, you will be good to go.
The WP8 Update 3 emulator corresponds to WP8 build 8.0.10492. It brings a new 1080p mode which lets developers preview how their apps would look on such displays. Perhaps this will lead to more apps designed for high-resolution screens, which will appease owners of the Lumia 1520 and future 1080p Windows Phone 8 devices.
If you want to get to grips with the new emulator images, proceed to the links below.
