you may want to taste it first, open a package and see how it looks, too.
Yes, I was going to suggest that too—buy one bar, open & taste it right away, buy more if OK. I like Lindt, how lucky you are to have an outlet!
Please visit my blog:
Bungalow Barbara
Thank you Hector and Barbara, I will definitely taste it before purchasing. Yes, I am so happy I have a Lindt outlet nearby. The store is so beautiful and their displays are wonderful. Doesn't feel like you are in an outlet. They even carry Ghirardelli b/c apparently Lindt has taken over Ghirardelli.
I've just opened my soft cooler bag, which I had stored 5 lbs of Callebaut and 3 of Valrhona, among other things. And I am perplexed cold!
My wine cellar (55oF) broke in August, so I took the chocolate out, and placed it in my soft cooler bag, left it on the coolest spot of my home, on the tiled floor, about 75oF. This would have brought the chocolate temperature gradually up.
Then after about 1 week, I took the bag to my florist refrigerator set at 55oF but high humidity!!!!!!! But all my chocolate was individually vacuum packed with Tilia, so humidity not an issue?
Today, I moved my cooler bag to my computer room, which is set to 62oF, so nice and perfect, low humidity and no decaying flowers! I inspected the chocolate and it is BLOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sad, my Valrhona coins are no longer shiny brown.
Also, 2 "nuggets" of beautiful Michael Cuziel chocolate my friend Kathy brought last year from Paris, are molded and green! These were not wrapped airtight, so the humidity and the decaying flowers must have done its tall.
So your chocolate was vacuum sealed and it still bloomed? I guess there was too much temperature fluctuation. You should still be able to use it though. I would discard the Michael Cuziel chocolate… so sorry :(.

Oh Hector, that is horrible. I can't believe the vacuum sealing didn't help.
vacuum seal won't help bloom. Bloom happens when temperature fluctuation. Yes, from ambient 80oF then to cold 55oF, is too much of a drop. I think chocolate should be stored ideally at 65oF and never under 60oF. Dark chocolate I say.
I know we are in recession, but I am so temped to get a $1400 vine cellar. The kitchenaid undercounter model is so lovelly and will match everythign I have, plus it is sized just right for the few wine I store and the few chocolate lbs, too.
I am casting your votes!!!!!!!!!!! this may be much more defenite than my computer room!
Oooooh, dark is my favorite! You should be able to melt it "back into shape" . Not really, but you should be able to use it in melted form.
can i suggest storing it in your sock drawer?
no, i''m not kidding. wrap it, put it in a tupperware and nestle it in between your socks.
it's dark, insulated and rarely gets hot due to the oven!
Hector, you are right. Bloom is caused by the change in temperature and vacuum packing will not prevent it. I mis-read your post. I thought the Michael Cuziel chocolate was vacuum packed and still went bad. Either way, it's not good news, you should go ahead and splurge and get the wine cooler.
How humid are wine coolers…do the chocolates always need to be vacuum packed before storing in the wine cooler? And Hector, I'm wondering why you keep your white chocolate in the freezer instead of the wine cooler. Does it help with the shelf life? Where would you store milk chocolate if you could choose between the freezer and the wine cooler? I always temper my chocolate before I use it to make truffles, so I would think that fat bloom doesn't really matter.

Hobie Cat® Australasia in conjunction with Daiwa Australia, announce that eighteen competitors from five nations, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, USA and Australia, will compete in the inaugural Hobie world kayak fishing championships. The tournament will be held in Australia, on the New South Wales mid north coast, starting on October 27 at Camden Haven on the Camden Haven River, moving to the Hastings River at Port Macquarie on October 29 and 30.
The event is the concept of Steve Fields, General Manager of Hobie Cat Australasia. Steve is a former sailing world and national champion in multiple Hobie Cat Catamaran classes.
Steve Fields, stated, &dlquo;Hobie Cat has been hosting Hobie sailing world championships since the first Hobie 16 titles held in Hawaii in 1976. They are fantastically competitive and ruthless events on the water but they are great social occasions as well&drquo;.
&dlquo;People from all over the world with similar interests not only compete but share expertise, knowledge and skills. In the end, there is one World Champion, but everyone goes home feeling better about themselves, with new friends, new skills and having had a cultural experience in a part of the world they, otherwise, may never have visited.&drquo;
&dlquo;Hobie Cat has grown and diversified into new areas since those early days. Our venture into kayaks has built a huge, worldwide Hobie kayak fishing fraternity. I wanted to bring these people together somehow and came up with the Hobie Kayak Fishing World Championships. I put the concept to Daiwa Australia and they loved the idea so much they jumped straight aboard, as the major sponsor of the first such event ever to be held.&drquo;
Day one of the International competition will be a standalone event. However, on the starting signal, at 7am on the weekend of October 29 --- 30, the spectacular sight of 67 pedal powered Hobie MirageDrive® Pro Angler kayaks will leave the beach. The world championship competitors will be joined on the water by grand finalists from the 13 rounds, held throughout Australia, of the Daiwa Hobie ABT Kayak Fishing Series.
Live weigh-ins of the catches will take place on the waterfront grassed area at the Water's Edge Boutique Hotel, Buller Street Port Macquarie, from 2pm on each of the three days of the world championship competition.

About This Game
- Summary
- Game Editions
A futuristic sci-fi shooting/action game, the debut title from PictureHouse Software (made largely of former members of the Die Hard Trilogy team.) As the last member of a race wiped out by a malfunctioning world-builidng machine called the Terracon, players must battle the Terracon's robotic forces and collect Genergy to rebuild his homeworld. The game sported 32 huge levels of action and puzzles, and its graphics engine drew expansive 3D levels with lots of detail and a long draw distance. The title was developed late in the PS one's lifecycle and, despite advanced technology and graphics, was never released in the United States.

The openwork pattern works well at scraping things off the shoes, such as the bread the birds drop on the gravel, instead of eating it!!! Works well, and waterproof too, so can be left out all the time.

Had problem with other mats purchased from this store as they were simply too light and were continually getting blown away from my front door step. Bought this much heavier one only to find every time we wiped our feet on it we then deposited black residue on the rug in the hallway ! We hosed it down thinking maybe because it was new, now over two months later it still does the same, I enquire in store they told me to return it...which I will do...so this is just by way of a warning...I see they still stock them...

"By the time I was 11 years old, I knew I wanted to be a Tour Director. My parents loved to share photos of their trips with me, and they would tell me, "You should do that; you'd be great at it!" They planted a seed that grew. On my 21st birthday, I traveled on a 12-country, 30-day tour of Europe. Six months later, I enrolled in tour directing school, and I've been in this career for over 30 years.

RIM Takes Huge Loss, Lays Off 30% of Workforce, Delays BB10 Until 2013
Jason Mick
June 28, 2012 5:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Is this the end?
Analysts were
predicting a small loss
from embattled Canadian smartphone maker Research in Motion, Ltd. (
); a loss that they concluded would drive the company closer to a likely sale in 2013. But the analyst consensus of a $0.03 USD per share loss on $3.1B USD revenue went from seeming gloomy, to seeming downright flowers and roses compared to RIM's
I. RIM Reports Horrifying Financials
[PDF] an abysmal $2.8B USD in revenue an a lost of $0.30 USD per share. The loss is RIM's
second straight quarter
of escalating money bleeding.
RIM, which employs approximately 16,500 people worldwide, also committed to layoffs of 5,000 employees, or roughly 30 percent of its workforce. That will leave RIM with just over 10,000 employees globally -- about half of its peak workforce of 20,000 in 2009.
RIM is laying off almost a third of its employees. [Image Source: BGR]
The jobs cuts were much worse than
the expectation
-- 2,000 layoffs. RIM had
announced that layoffs
would indeed be coming weeks ago, but it held off on sharing exact numbers. It's unfortunate to see exactly how deep RIM is cutting to try to save the ship, but it's perhaps understandable given how much worse than expected the financials were.
While RIM clings to a dwindling number of large enterprise users, the root of its problem was plunging sales of BlackBerry smartphones. RIM mustered only 7.8 million units sold, down over 40 percent from last year's
[PDF] (13.2 million). Sales of the PlayBook tablet plunged to 260,000 amid RIM's
cut of its most popular SKU
. That marks almost a 50 percent drop from last year's sales of 500,000 units.
Ex-RIM CEO Mike Lazardis's 2009
during the peak of RIM's success is looking more and more like a warning to future CEOs on the perils of mismanagement -- "Sometimes we have to put the brakes on. We've shown that we can handle annual 100% growth. I'm not sure we could handle more than that."
Every part of RIM is shriveling and dying, from its
supply chain
its business user-base
, to its
consumer pull
II. BB 10 Gets Delayed, End is Nigh for RIM
But that's not even the bad news. RIM also offered this jewel in its earnings report:
BlackBerry 10 smartphone launch now scheduled for Q1 of calendar 2013.
In other words, everyone's favorite
vaporous smartphone platform
has been bumped yet another half year.
BB10 has been bumped to 2013 -- if RIM makes it that long. [Image Source: NeoWin]
To put this in context, RIM bought QNX in April 2010, with the intention of using it as a replacement for its current smartphone operating system. In a market that moves like lightning RIM's fumbling executive ranks have managed to take nearly 3 years to turn this gifted wrapped platform into product. In other words, what should have been a chip shot was turned into a Hail Mary due to pure,
RIM over the last year has made a sad joke of itself, with its
faked "flash mob" protests
at Apple, Inc. (
) stores in Australia and its new chief executive's
arrogant attacks
on the world's most used smartphone platform, Google Inc.'s (
) Android. Apparently somewhere along the way RIM forgot that Google and Apple each and every year deliver something that it does not -- actual
operating system
Or perhaps RIM was too busy courting business users with
Saturday morning cartoon characters
to notice.
Analyst predict more destruction for the RIMdenburg.
[Image Source: Jason Mick/DailyTech LLC]
Regardless, if there's one thing that's clear it's that a
sale of RIM
is likely coming soon. It seems unlikely that RIM will survive to see its ever-slipping operating system arrive.
Investors will surely be eager to
salvage what little they can
from the company. The company does have some decent assets -- namely its large intellectual property portfolio, its recognizable business brand, and its superb physical keyboard mastery.
It would be relatively shocking if RIM is not put
on the auction block
before the year's end.

Immigrants Come to Work, So Let's Ease Their Arrival
Can the Senate pass an immigration reform bill? No one knows for sure, but optimism is running high.
On Monday a bipartisan group of senators, including Democrats Chuck Schumer ( New York) and Dick Durbin (Illinois), and Republicans Lindsay Graham (South Carolina) and Marco Rubio (Florida), announced an outline for a broad immigration bill. It would be the first such bill to become law since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
The proposal, which has yet to be fleshed out in the detail that often confounds agreements in principle, would offer a path to legal status to many of America's 11 million unauthorized immigrants. The senators contemplate that these immigrants would first be eligible for work permits, and then would be able to join the back of the line to get green cards and citizenship. That will be hotly debated on Capitol Hill.
The path to legal status would be open to immigrants who have not committed serious crimes and who pay back taxes they may owe, as well as a fine. For men and women who have been working here for years and have paid no taxes, that could be a high hurdle.
The proposal states that immigrants on work permits would not qualify for federal public benefits, such as food stamps, free school lunch programs, and health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. The status of state welfare programs, such as Medicaid and unemployment insurance, would presumably be decided by individual states.
The emerging bipartisan agreement would make it easier for new immigrants to enter the country legally, and strengthen enforcement measures, at the border and in the workplace.
Legal immigration confers substantial economic benefits on the United States, a country of immigrants since the settlements at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts in 1620 and Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.
Few deny that immigrants, documented and undocumented, contribute importantly to the economy in many sectors, including hotels and restaurants, construction, landscaping, house painting, agriculture, home health care, car washing, and other services.
In science, engineering, health care, and high tech, countless highly-educated immigrants add to our national income. The shortage of nurses would be more acute without the many trained immigrants in our hospitals.
An aide to House Speaker John Boehner told me, "The Speaker welcomes the work of leaders like Senator Rubio on this issue, and is looking forward to learning more about the proposal in the coming days."
A similar immigration reform plan failed in 2005 and 2007, when Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a liberal Massachusetts Democrat, co-sponsored bills. That they were not enacted was not for want of presidential leadership, for in 2007 President George W. Bush travelled the country promoting immigration reform.
Rather, in 2007 some Republicans opposed the immigration bill because they said that it would reward people coming into the country illegally. Some Democrats didn't want to vote for it because they didn't want Mr. Bush to be the president who signed immigration reform into law.
As America emerges from a protracted recession and seeks to speed up economic growth, immigration reform should be part of the growth agenda.
Immigrants have been founders of many start-ups that have grown to be billion dollar giants, such as PayPal and Yahoo. The people who pull up their roots and come here are highly motivated (as were our immigrant forbearers), and they have a strong record of entrepreneurship.
Many newcomers have skills different from those of the native-born, and so they complement the skills of the U.S. labor force. Among native-born Americans, 91 percent have a high school diploma or higher, whereas only 62 percent of noncitizens do. Immigrants make the economy more efficient by reducing bottlenecks caused by labor shortages, both in the high- and low-skill areas, and creating jobs for native-born Americans.
Although immigrants no doubt will displace some low-skilled workers, primarily other immigrants, the negative effect on such workers is much smaller than the positive effect for everyone else. The economy as a whole gains, with substantially more winners than losers. In our society, this makes it possible for the winners to compensate those who lose from immigration, and still come out ahead.
Professor Giovanni Peri of the University of California, Davis, in a paper just published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, coauthored with Bocconi University Professor Gianmarco Ottaviano, concludes that immigration raised wages of native-born Americans by six tenths of a percent during the period from 1990 to 2006. It decreased wages of existing immigrants by 6.7 percent, because new immigrants are substitutes for prior waves of immigrants.
However, the immigrant community favors additional immigration.
Senior economist Pia Orrenius of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas finds a slight increase in wages for professionals and a slight decline for manual workers from immigration of less than 1 percent.
Some data suggest that immigrants may be more eager to work than are native-born Americans. In 2012, 67.5 percent of foreign-born noncitizens participated in the labor force, compared to 63.2 percent of native-born Americans, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As part of a larger strategy to encourage economic growth, America needs to issue more visas and admit more immigrants legally. This would raise more tax revenue and confer a net benefit on the economy.
Arlene Holen of the Technology Policy Institute has estimated that if there had been no constraints on green card and H-1B temporary work visas, then in 2003 to 2007 an additional 182,000 foreign graduates would have remained in the United States. Their earnings and contribution to GDP would have been $14 billion in 2008, Holen estimates, and they would have paid $2.7 billion to $3.6 billion in taxes.
Why would immigration policy succeed today when it has failed in the recent past? Here are three reasons.
First, even though Mr. Bush delivered more leadership on immigration reform than has Mr. Obama, Hispanics perceive Republicans as anti-immigration. This cost Republicans votes, and possibly the presidency, in the 2012 election. According to the Pew Research Center, 71 percent of Hispanics voted for President Obama on Election Day.
Members of Congress are above all concerned about their reelection prospects. Having fared badly with Hispanic voters at the polls, Republicans appear to be more inclined to vote for reform today than in 2007.
Second, there are new enforcement mechanisms, such as unmanned (and unarmed) aerial surveillance vehicles, or drones. They can watch both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border and make unnecessary the controversial and expensive border fences. The images the drones transmit to monitors permit deployment of border patrol forces.
The Department of Homeland Security reported in May that each drone cost about $18 million, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has about 10 in operation.
Finally, America's economy is in worse shape than in 2007 and immigration has slowed. To some, it means we don't need more immigrants. Others believe that more immigrants will create jobs and invigorate our economy.
Immigrants come to America because they see opportunity, gaps in our economy that they have the skills to fill. America's goal should be a policy that enables them to come legally, and fosters economic growth. The bipartisan Senate proposal is the place to start.

Karl Lagerfeld & Douglas Kirkland Mademoiselle
Mademoiselle "Images left behind are in the end stronger than truth and facts. Through Douglas Kirkland's images we can imagine what the famous Coco had been all about before she became the formidable Chanel," muses Karl Lagerfeld in Mademoiselle, a selection of photographs of Chanel taken by Douglas Kirkland in 1962 on assignment in Paris for the American magazine Look. Lagerfeld is the designer currently at the helm of the Parisian fashion house, made iconic by designer Coco Chanel during her long reign, from 1909-1971 -- and the designer of this handsome edition as well. Through his introduction and captions to these photographs, we understand how important Chanel's image has been to the success of the century-old French couture line. (via website)

Halle Berry Talks Breastfeeding on "Ellen"
As one of the hottest moms in Hollywood, Halle Berry has plenty to be thankful for. But during her interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Swordfish" starlet shared a very real picture of motherhood with 7-month-old son Maceo.
Ms. Berry described some of the differences between her little guy and his six-year-old sister Nahla- "When I would put Nahla on the boob, she would go [Berry makes a pucker face and light sucking sound]. A nice little girly suck."
"With him, it's like [she imitates a chomping suck]. He's like sucking the life out of me! So I see the difference between boys and girls," she added, to which Ellen replied, "That was TMI in my opinion, but okay."
Halle continued, "I just want everyone to know that I know the difference. Boys and girls are different from the time they get here. They really, really are."
And it turns out Nahla was the one who prayed for a little sibling. "She prayed and prayed for him for like a year and a half, for a baby and a bunk bed, and she got both of those things. He's like one of her dollies that came to life. And all she wants to do is change his clothes. Like she'll purposely like throw something on his shirt and say, 'Oh, Mommy, he's got to change his shirt. He has a mess on him!' She just likes to change his clothes, change his diapers … She's a good helper."
"I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy. This is probably way TMI, but I was really, you know, kind of premenopausal, so to have this happen was a huge … Only her prayers could have done this."

Iranian filmmaker, LGBTQ activist and actress Kiana Firouz is facing what could well be a not-so-warm welcome home now that the British government has reportedly rejected her request for asylum after Firouz was driven to flee her native country and seek safety in the UK.
Coilhouse has more on Firouz's story and the petition to help her cause. —KA
Kiana Firouz, 27 years old, is an outspoken Iranian LGBT rights activist, filmmaker, and actress. When clips of her video documentary work featuring the struggle and persecution of gays and lesbians in her country were acquired by Iranian intelligence, agents began to follow Firouz around Tehran, harassing and intimidating her. She fled for England where she could safely continue her work and studies.
She plays a starring role in Cul de Sac, a documentary film produced in the UK about the condition of lesbians in Iran, and based heavily on Firouz's own life story. Directed by Ramin Goudarzi-Nejad and Mahshad Torkan, the movie will premiere in London in a few days. Since the trailer was posted on YouTube in December 2009, Cul de Sac has attracted global media attention, with thousands of views. Apparently, some of those views included members of Ahmadinejad's puppet media in Iran.

THE federal government has refused to back a call by the West Australian coroner to build a mooring buoy off Christmas Island to safely tie up asylum seeker boats away from the site of the December 2010 tragedy that left 50 dead.
The government has accepted most of the coronial inquiry recommendations handed down in February that found the disaster was ''generally foreseeable''.
The Defence Minister, Stephen Smith, and the Home Affairs Minister, Jason Clare, said yesterday, in response to the inquiry, that surveillance patrols and radar systems around the island had been boosted in the past year to reduce the chance of boats arriving undetected.
But the government said the coroner's call for a mooring buoy away from the island's north-eastern peninsula at the relatively protected area known as Ethel beach was ''for further consideration''.
Claire O'Connor, the barrister who represented the survivors during the eight-month coronial inquest, said yesterday that the Christmas Island surveillance vessel HMAS Pirie had been babysitting another asylum seeker boat in distress at the time of the tragedy and had been unable to respond.
''There was nowhere on Christmas Island to moor it [the first vessel]. The babysitting kept the Pirie away from being able to observe the approach to Christmas Island from Indonesia,'' she said.
The Coroner Alastair Hope blamed people smugglers and crew for contributing to the deaths after the boat, carrying 89 mostly Iraqi and Iranian asylum seekers, smashed against the rocks at Flying Fish Cove.
He praised the bravery of naval and Customs officers for saving 41 people, including two crew, but he criticised a lack of boats on the island to carry out rescues in bad weather and said border protection authorities could have had better surveillance to monitor dangerous waters.
In a joint statement yesterday, the government accepted the coroner's call for a federal police search and rescue boat on Christmas Island. The government said it was also still considering Mr Hope's recommendation for two jet skis.
The Coalition spokesman for border protection, Michael Keenan, welcomed the government's response but said the potential for a repeat of the tragedy remained until people smuggling was stopped.
Ms O'Connor said it must be remembered half the passengers died on the boat.
''There have been hundreds who have drowned in the last decade on their way to Australia,'' she said. ''All we can do to make that journey safer is our responsibility, both at law and morally once persons are in Australian waters.
''More has to be done to ensure that people don't die escaping persecution because of errors we make in our surveillance, search and rescue.''

Great election, pity about the result
Page Tools
Bush's re-election leaves a divided America and the
prospect of a
more divided world, writes Timothy Garton Ash.
Never in the course of human history has such an inspiring election produced such a depressing result. "It's South Africa!" was my first thought when I saw the endless queues of voters lining up across the United States first thing in the morning, as they did in South Africa's first democratic election.
In one of the poorest neighbourhoods of Washington, just 15 minutes' drive from the White House yet reminding me strongly of Soweto, dreadlocked T'Chaka Sapp stood in front of the Ketcham Elementary School polling station accosting voters: "How're you doin', brother? ANC - I'm first on the list!" Here ANC is short for Advisory Neighbourhood Commissioner, not African National Congress, but his adopted first name is, he told me, of Zulu origin. And all down Good Hope Road there was a furious hope of throwing out a hated regime.
"Vote or Die" proclaimed the T-shirt promoted by hip-hop's Sean "P Diddy" Combs and worn outside another polling station by 14-year-old Sareena Brown. What did it mean, I asked her. "If you vote Bush, he's going to get us killed." And she means it literally, because it's the brothers of these poor black kids who are signed up in the recruiting station down the road to fight in Iraq. "There were no weapons of mass destruction," said T'Chaka Sapp, "and it's our kids who are dying." And everyone here feels they are paying the price of Bush's policies in lost jobs and a faltering economy.
Everywhere I went "east of the river" (the Anacostia River, that is) in this impoverished, crime-ridden urban sprawl, originally settled by freed slaves, where I saw no other white face for hours on end, I heard the same energising story. Even before the polling stations opened, the voters were standing in line. Already by noon, the automatic ballot counting machines were showing record numbers on their digital counters. I met young people recently out of prison who would never have dreamed of voting, but were mobilised by Puff Diddy and some vague sense that the fate of the world would depend on it. Which, arguably, it does.
However, it was not just what another local activist called "the forgotten people" across the Benning Road bridge who rocked the vote. Everywhere across the country, from sea to shining sea, they turned out in unprecedented numbers. For all the corrupting role of big money, the meddling by lawyers and the distorting effects of biased media, this was an overwhelming, heart-lifting expression of the popular will. Here was one of those elemental moments, as in South Africa, as in Poland in 1989, as in Afghanistan a few weeks ago, when the great, tempestuous river of democracy breaks through all the barriers erected in its way. Yet with what a horrible result!
I spent much of November 2 - a beautiful Indian summer's day here in Washington - in the sunny conviction that the high turn-out, including many new voters, was good news for John Kerry. Why turn out for the first time unless you wanted a change? Many Democrats shared this conviction. We were all wrong, for people were just as passionate on the other side. A decisive majority of American voters - something like 59 million to 55.5 million - backed George Bush rather than John Kerry.
In the next few days, we'll learn more from the pollsters about exactly why. But here are two reasons that I learned east of the river from Mrs Ida Boyd, a spry grandmother ("I've been black for 84 years") going in to vote at the Benning library polling station. She was voting, she told my shocked companion, for Bush. "At least with this man you know he's a nut!" The others pretend they're not. She added: "I love Clinton. He looks so sexy" - and she swung her 84-year old hips with amazing grace. "But I wouldn't vote for him." His morals, you see.
So, in spite of everything, even in spite of his being "a nut", people felt they knew where they stood with the folksy Bush, which they didn't with "flip-flop" Kerry. And they never warmed to Kerry, as they did to Clinton. "The lesser of the two evils - your mama told you that!" I heard ANC candidate Anthony Rivera shout to a clutch of young voters in another precinct. That summed up exactly the spirit in which so many voted for the lofty Boston Brahmin.
Secondly, there was the gut instinct of so many American voters, like Ida Boyd, to put moral, cultural and lifestyle choices before anything else, including their own economic self-interest. Family values. No gay marriage or abortion. Gun ownership. God, motherhood and apple pie. I just heard on the television that married women voted overwhelmingly for Bush, single women for Kerry.
Many people outside the United States will conclude from this result that George Bush is the true face of America. That would be a huge mistake. In fact, this election has shown that America is more divided than ever over essentials of politics and faith. It's one country, but two nations.
On the map, it's the blue states of the west and north-east coasts against the red (meaning conservative) states of the centre and south. In real life, it's at least 50 million individual American voters who have values and attitudes often very similar to Europeans, and just slightly more Americans who have different, or, at the evangelical edge, alien ones.
Bush can see he must try to reunite this divided nation, as he promised already at his first inauguration in 2000. "A new term," he said in his acceptance speech yesterday, "is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation." Perhaps, like Margaret Thatcher after her election in 1979, we'll hear him quoting St Francis of Assisi: "Where there is discord, let me bring harmony." But it will be as hard for him as it was for her. It's not easy for the problem to be the solution.
Bush may also hold out a small olive branch to alienated Europeans. Back in the imperial leafiness of central Washington, that's exactly what senior officials in the Bush Administration tell me he will offer early next year. If he does, there'll be a great temptation to refuse it, particularly if the olive branch is small and strangely equipped with thorns. The potential sources of further trans-Atlantic discord, from Iraq to Iran to China, are legion. The chances of a divided America causing more divisions in the West and the world are much higher now than they looked, briefly, in the hopeful sunlight of Tuesday morning.
Yet in their own enlightened self-interest, and that of the world, Europeans should - though the glass of wine politely raised at a diplomatic reception will taste of bitterest bile - try to respond in kind. This is not just in Europe's own vital interests. It's also a matter of keeping faith with the other America: the half, or very nearly half, who think like Europeans.
And keeping faith, too, with Sareena Brown and the other "forgotten people" you meet across the river, in the American capital's own version of Soweto. They, even more than the rest of the world, need and deserve a better US president - and in four years' time, I believe they'll get one.

Re: Grad RateElle Meinholz Apr 21, 2014 3:22 PM (in response to Corban Rowland)
Hey Corban!
Although this statistic is accurate, it's a bit outdated. These numbers all relate back to our overall graduation rate. Since increasing our requirements a few years ago, we are on track to have a minority graduation rate of over 60%!! However, we won't be able to notice the change until we hit that six year mark, in about 2 years or so.
Hopefully this helps! If you have further questions about it, our Vice President of Admissions Timothy Valley would be a great person to connect with.
Re: Grad RateCorban Rowland Apr 22, 2014 3:28 AM (in response to Elle Meinholz)
Phew, you guys had my college counselor worried sick. I'll be sure to let her know. Thank you Ellie!!
Re: Grad RateElle Meinholz Apr 22, 2014 8:29 AM (in response to Corban Rowland)
Ha! Nothing to be worried sick about! It's tough having a statistic like that, where it is based on increments of six years! That's a long time! We'll catch up soon enough
Thanks for asking!
Re: Grad RateTimothy Valley Apr 22, 2014 8:41 AM (in response to Elle Meinholz)
Hey Corban,
Elle is right on. We have seen a significant improvement in our retention rate over the past four years which will have a positive influence on our 6 year graduation rate. This is an intentional effort on the part of the entire university community and is exciting to be a part of it. Hope you can join us this Fall.
Re: Grad RateSeandra Mitchell Apr 22, 2014 10:16 AM (in response to Corban Rowland)
Hi Corbin, all of the prior response have definitely been correct! With our higher academic requirements for admission, our retention rates have certainly increased, and continue to increase. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me as well. Just give our office a call: (800) 332-6763 and I'll be more than happy to chat further. Thanks!

One of the city's leading providers of substance-abuse treatment plans to shut its doors after nearly 40 years, barring an 11th-hour influx of funding.
People in Progress, which opened in 1974 and helps individuals struggling with drug abuse, alcohol addiction, homelessness and poverty, will file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to its executive director, Josh Smith.
The organization runs three facilities, including one in Sun Valley, and it had more than 150 people in residential treatment as of last week.
But with its operating costs exceeding its revenue and government funds drying up, the organization's board of directors decided that it is no longer financially viable, Smith said.
People in Progress is already several months behind on rent payments, and it has cut back from 36 to 18 employees over the last two years.
The absence, Smith said, "will leave a gaping hole in the continuum of care within the city of Los Angeles."
The board of directors is holding off a bankruptcy filing until at least Friday, a self-imposed deadline for coming up with a last-minute rescue plan.
Not all hope is lost - City Councilman Tony Cardenas is looking for city money that can be directed toward People in Progress, and his office plans to give some of its discretionary funds to the organization.
"We are turning every stone to find uncommitted funds for this organization, they deserve all the help we can give them," Cardenas said in a statement.
In the meantime, residents are already being relocated to other facilities.
Garfield Wolfe, 45, was sent to People in Progress' Sun Valley facility last year after seven stints in prison. He underwent a year of successful treatment for alcohol and cocaine abuse, and he now returns regularly as a volunteer.
"This place has love for people who have nowhere else to go ... they don't turn anyone away," Wolfe said.
People in Progress relies on government contracts for almost all of its funding, but over the past two years, many of its contracts have expired and government agencies have not had the money to renew them. It has lost others in competitive bidding processes.
The organization's budget has shrunk from $3.2 million two years ago to a projected $1.6 million this year, with only $1.4 million in projected revenue, Smith said.
The organization's financial problems started in 2010, when California lawmakers were more than 100 days late in passing a state budget, causing payments to be delayed. That forced the organization to reach into its cash reserves and borrow on its line of credit, according to Smith, a member of the board of directors at the time.
"Once a small agency extends all of its resources, it proves very insurmountable," said Smith, who became executive director in 2011.
Over the last two years, several of People in Progress' contracts have expired without being renewed, and it has lost some contracts to organizations with more competitive bids. It lost one bid on a large contract it had held for at least 25 years.
The organization's financial problems were compounded by the board's decision, before the state budget crisis, to open a new 96-bed residential treatment facility. They had to close that facility after a year because they couldn't afford to run it.
"No one could have foreseen three or four months later that we could get hit with the state budget crisis," Smith said. "We were just put on the ropes and we couldn't recover."
People in Progress still has a contract with the Veterans Administration, which is helping to relocate its several dozen veteran residents.
Troy Williams, 50, served in the Army in Lebanon and Grenada, and he received treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder before being referred to People in Progress for alcohol rehabilitation. He moved in three weeks ago.
Williams said that he has already formed close bonds at People in Progress, and he's disappointed to move out so soon.
"The camaraderie here is unparalleled," he said.
Wolfe, who finished his treatment in May, is now studying sociology and criminal justice at Pierce College - where, he said, he's getting straight A's. He called People in Progress' impending closure "a sad event."
"I hope it's not a sign of things to come in other places," he said.
NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated People in Progress' budget in 2010. In fact, the budget was $3.2 million two years ago. The story has been corrected.

Truthfully I'm only here, because:
a: beautifulpeople.com rejected me
b: sugardaddy.com cancelled my account after a credit check
c: dateacougar.com said I was too old
What's a guy to do? I mean it's not as if I have these incredibly high standards:
-You have a job (look, if this was the 1930's I would like, you know, totally take care of you.)
-You speak a modicum of english (This is just to prevent the inevitable e-mail spam from eastern european mail-order brides)
-You have all your teeth (fangs are exempted)
Maybe I need to put up a shirtless pic with me flashing gang signals standing next to my "ride". "'cause I'm all about the ghetto yo". That might work would it not?
I mean no woman here can possibly be interested in someone who is respectful, employed, fun, witty, does not need a spell checker, charming and just downright handsome. Yes I know I'm easy to look at, but trust me when I say I have substance (about 70-85% of that is water, but it's all relative).
Thank-you for taking the time to read this, message me if you would like to know more, unfortunately the wine is finished and I really want to see if my profile at chubbydating.com has been accepted.
Good luck to all of you.
P.S: FYI I am a single father (as in my child lives with me), this seems to be a deal-breaker with some women after/when the inevitable question comes up regarding my custodial arrangement. So, I think that little bit of pertinent information should be available to someone prior to the argument over whether or not I cheated at mini-putt.

Chiropractors may be commonplace around Harker Heights, but female chiropractors are often difficult to find.
Elizabeth Nixon, owner of Back in Motion Chiropractic, is one of only four female chiropractors out of about 30 in the Central Texas area. She recently opened a Harker Heights practice that specializes in pediatrics, maternity and sports injuries for clients of all ages.
From a young age, chiropractors were a part of Nixon's life. She began receiving chiropractic alignments when she was 3, and was inspired to follow that career path by a childhood visit to a male chiropractor.
"Growing up, my chiropractor was also my primary care physician, and we would see him first," Nixon said. He was the one that told her there were not enough female chiropractors in the world.
"I just never even thought a female could be a chiropractor, but it took him telling me that, and I thought, that's what I want to be," she said.
Nixon, a Harker Heights native and Killeen High School graduate, earned her doctorate from Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena and graduated second in her class. After practicing with a colleague in Belton for three years, Nixon decided to open her own office in Harker Heights.
Wilma Thorn has been a client of Nixon's since 2009, and now her husband and their children are clients, too. Although her husband was leery of chiropractors, he now feels comfortable with Nixon.
"She made him feel OK, and not afraid of chiropractors," Thorn said.
Emily Kirkpatrick, who was treated by Nixon during her pregnancy, said the treatments helped when she delivered her son, Preston. Nixon, who is 7½ months pregnant with her first child, explained that women who have routine spinal adjustments often experience faster labor with fewer complications.
"With maternity, there's a change in the center of gravity and the alignment of the spine — that can affect things in the pregnancy," she said. "Hormones in pregnancy cause muscles in the body to relax, allowing it to adjust to the changing form, and the spine isn't spared at all."
Preston Kirkpatrick, now 3 months old, is also a client of Nixon's. His mother began taking him for adjustments when he was 5 days old.
"She is very gentle but effective," Kirkpatrick said. "I've always felt extremely comfortable, and never felt like she's overdone it."
Back in Motion Chiropractic is at 546 E. Farm-to-Market 2410, Suite B, Harker Heights. For more information, call (254) 681-1544.

On August 31 and September 1, CAI invited HR professionals and company executives to attend its annual Compensation and Benefits Conference at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh. More than 180 guests participated in the two-day event. Learning different methods to approaching compensation and benefits and receiving legal updates were top reasons people attended.
"I want to improve my understanding of compensation as it relates to benefits. I want to gain more insight on the topic," Yolanda Melvin, benefits administrator at PHE, Inc., said when asked why she decided to attend.
The late summer conference aimed to help organizations attract, retain and engage their employees by offering innovative strategies to recognize and reward staff in any economic setting. For each of its conferences, CAI strives to provide attendees with speakers who present informative, relevant and captivating content. This year's speakers ranged from a Lead Consultant in Engagement Assessment and Insight from Aon Hewitt to a Distinguished Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
Conference guests enjoyed five presentations that offered information to plan ahead for a changing workforce, different economy and competitive business climate. Speakers shared their knowledge on re-engaging a mentally and physically exhausted workforce and what rapidly changing demographic trends employers should be preparing for. CAI's Director of HR services, Molly Hegeman, revealed the results of the company's 2011 Wage and Salary Survey during the conference. CAI also ensured that attendees received an update on healthcare reform and learned different methods to communicate benefits issues with their workforces.
"I'm always interested in anything that has to do with the healthcare reform because it's going to impact our company a lot," Stephanie Moore, human resources representative at DAK Americas, said regarding the presentation she was interested in seeing.
In addition to participating in the main events, attendees had the opportunity to join several of the conference's breakout sessions. Some of the session topics included:
- Current Trends in Retirement Plans
- The New Frontier: Expanding the Paradigm of Organization Well-Being
- Making Incentive Compensation Work for You
- Wage and Hour Compliance
CAI works to provide participants with a great experience while educating them on best practices for compensation and benefits. Professionals who attend the conference get to network with other industry leaders while they analyze research findings, consult on total reward strategies and receive the latest updates on issues that will affect their businesses.
"I always like [CAI's] conferences. It's a lot of good information. It's always relevant. I do a lot of the surveys for CAI, so it's always interesting to see that the feedback from those surveys is presented in all of their conferences," Moore said.
For more information on CAI's annual Compensation and Benefits Conference or help with keeping your workforce engaged, please contact an account manager at 919-878-9222 or 336-669-7746 or visit www.capital.org/compconf.

Because "lashing out" or difficulty managing anger can happen for many reasons, I tailor my approach to each person. I first try to understand why it is happening, and treat the underlying reasons. Some people have powerful emotions and need skills to manage them, others have a traumatic past that needs exploration, while others may have anxiety or depression and may feel extremely irritable, thus "snapping" at their loved ones.

The $1.55 billion loan backing private equity firms Carlyle Group and TPG Capital in their $2 billion buyout of private hospital operator
The syndication process, led by seventeen banks, distributed around $443 million or 28 per cent of the loan.
In the largest leveraged buyout transaction since the global financial crisis halted acquisitive financing options, bankers were able to underwrite and distribute the loan among regional banks and fund managers.
Asian appetite for the loan came in to the tune of $434 million in allocations to 11 banks, including Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, Mizuho Corporate Bank, UOB, HSBC, Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Bank of China, Bank of East Asia, Korea Exchange Bank, Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank, Taishin Bank and Taiwan Business Bank.
Fund managers also supported the deal. Australian Super, Challenger and Victorian Funds Management secured a combined $65 million.
The working capital piece of the loan was held by two of the local trading banks, according to banking sources.
Bankers close to the transaction said the structure of the deal, the strength of the underlying business and its demographic underpinning, combined with the calibre of the private equity sponsors, merged to attract very strong investor interest around the region.
The $4.2 billion loan supporting CVC's buyout of PBL Media back in 2007 was the last time funds had a chance to participate in the sector.
In that deal, UBS and Credit Suisse arranged $3.6 billion of senior secured credit facilities and $600 million in subordinated debt, attracting 59 banks plus a significant number of institutions to the deal.
The diverse participation and interest in the Healthscope deal signals good financing support for the continuing M&A activity. Heralded names involved in M&A of late include ASX, Perpetual, Ten Network, Tabcorp, and Foster's Group.
"This transaction clearly shows that for the right asset, there is definitely good lender support," a banker said.
