The Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler Songfacts
It was in 1982 when Nashville songwriters Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley wrote and recorded the demo for this. They had a hard time finding anyone to record the song, and it was a full year before Roger Whittaker became the first artist to take it on. Following Whittaker's version, several artists recorded the song, including Sheena Easton, Lee Greenwood, B.J. Thomas, Lou Rawls (who was the first to chart with the songs, hitting #65 US), Gladys Knight & The Pips and Gary Morris. Morris' version became a #4 country hit, which led to Silbar & Henley winning the Country Music Association (CMA) Award for Song of the Year. Gladys Knight & The Pips had a R&B hit with their version, which they retitled, "Hero."

Larry Henley came up with the title and Jeff Silbar loved it, especially since he was learning to fly planes at the time. The title came out of a poem Henley had written. Instead of writing the chorus first (like Silbar and Henley usually did), they wrote it from start to finish. They were done writing it by the end of the day.
The demo that Silbar and Henley recorded had a medium tempo. Their music publisher had the idea of slowing it down and making it a ballad.
This was conceived as a love song from a man to a woman or vice versa, but it ended up with lyrics that were more universal, and could apply to many different types of relationships (friends, family, etc.). This is a major reason why the song was so successful.
The most famous version of this song was Bette Midler's, who recorded it in 1988 for the movie
, in which she starred. It appears in a dramatic scene at the end of the film after the character played by Barbara Hershey dies. After Midler's version became a hit, many other artists recorded the song, including Willie Nelson, John Tesh, Patti LaBelle, Perry Como and Judy Collins. It is one of the most performed songs of all time.
This is the most popular song for funerals, beating out Celine Dion's "
My Heart Will Go On
" and Whitney Houston's "
I Will Always Love You
Gary Morris still performs this ballad live and usually precedes it by saying, "Bette is free to sing this however she wants but personally I think she butchered it."

Midler revealed to
The London Times
February 14, 2009, that she initially disliked this song, but it later grew on her. She explained: "It's really grown on me. When I first heard it, I said, 'I'm not singing that song,' but the friend who gave it to me said, 'If you don't sing it I'll never speak to you again', so of course I had to sing the damned song. Whatever reservations I might have had I certainly don't have any more."
This won the Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1990.
Midler performed this song following the death montage at the Oscars in 2014. It was her first time singing at the Oscars.

It's understandable that Gary Morris would dislike Bette Midler's version (and potentially vice versa), because they are very different arrangements. Lou Rawls had the first hit with it, and I like his best--it's much more upbeat and breezy. Morris did a very morose, somber styled take on the song, and Bette's is somewhere in between. Given the lyrics, there's not really a wrong or right.
Staley - Dallas, Tx
This song has to be the most mawkish and patronising ever written.
I believe that anyone who has it dedicated to them would be acquitted by any jury if they chopped up the person who dedicated it to them.
And I'm stunned that it doesn't appear to have happened yet.

Who is Gary Morris??
Gary - Seattle, Wa
This is one of the prettiest songs I know. Too bad all the kerioke setups only have the Bette Midler bastardization--you can't even sing the original lyrics to it because the music's so stretched out for her babble-lyrics.
Wendy - Shawano, Wi
He taught me and now I cant talk to him through this beautiful song.He was my best mentor.He died suddenly.
John - Brisbane, United States
Some sources claim Bette actually recorded this in the late 1970s and Barbra Streisand was the artist the song was written for but she left the studio!
Sara - Silver Spring, Md
I first heard this song when Lee Greenwood did it in the mid 80's while I was stationed at Dover AFB, DE. When I went to Iraklion AS, Crete, Greece, soon after that, he was the only USO tour that came over to us and he sang it along with 'God Bless the USA'. It is a touching song that can apply to anyone you admire. When we lost our Mother, who was an inspiration to many, my sisters and I had it played at her funeral, to show how much we thought of her. I've also heard it played at weddings. I've heard several versions of it. For anyone that doesn't like it, or think of someone (besides themselves), when this song is played, I can only feel sorry for, because they either think they are the center of the universe, or they had a sad life and can't move on . . .
I only wish I had the voice of any of the artists that have sung it, but know better than to try it myself.

If anyone ever started a song honoring me with the phrase, "must have been cold there in my shadow." I would stand up and leave. Who would even sing that???
Anne - Dodge City, Ks
In 2001, Sonata Arctica recorded a heavy metal version of this song.
John - Tacoma, Wa
oh my god this is probably my favorite song. Bette is the most talented woman in the world and her vocal take on this song never leaves me without a tear.
Jay - Mom, Ct
Larry Henley was also lead singer of The Newbeats, who were famous for the song, "Bread And Butter".
Farrah - Elon, Nc
this song makes me cry!! (in a good way)
Catherine - Glasgow, England
Sorry guys. The Willie Nelson version was released in 1984 on the "City of New Orleans" album. It was also used in a video montage presented by the New York Mets baseball team on Fan Appreciation Day at the end of the 1986 season. "Beaches" wasn't released until 1988.
The Lee Greenwood version was the first I heard and I've got the single way back in the early eighties
Martin - Los Barrios, Spain
Oh, My, Gosh! I've always hated this song since the moment I first heard it! The most embarrassing moment of my life was when I was in first grade, my instructional assistant, Catherine, forced me to sing this for my friend and instructional assistant, Nancy Meyer. When I sang this, the embarrassing part was when all the kids in the audience started laughing at me! And ever since that day, everytime the song would come on the radio, I would say "Somebody Please, Get that song away from me!", and I would turn the radio off, or I would turn it to another radio station.
Annabelle - Eugene, Or
The music on Lee Greenwood's version to me, is awesome and I don't know why his version wasn't released as a single. Most people haven't heard it.
Wayne - Pasadena, Md
This song I think is about someone who is there for you all the time behind the scenes. They mean a lot to you, but no one knows it. And you just want to let them know what they mean to you.
Elizabeth - New York, Ny
Gary is free to bad-mouth someone who had a much bigger hit with the song he recorded but it only makes him the lesser person. Sour grapes!
David - Charleston, Sc

Musically Out Of Touch Or Just Old?
The 2014 schedule for Alive At Five in Downtown Albany came out yesterday.
I'll admit it, with two exceptions, I really didn't know many of the acts.
This is a major watershed moment for me.
I've been in broadcasting for nearly 40 years, the majority of that time as a DJ or so called Air Personality.
I prided myself on odd bits of trivia about music.
For example, I could tell you Chuck Berry's second release, the length of the song, the number assigned to the song, and what the label of the 45 (again, I am old) looked like.
I still love music, but nowadays I'm more drawn to Talk Radio and TV News Channels.
Still, I love a lot of Contemporary Music, like Bruno Mars, but maybe because he reminds me of James Brown...it's the hair.
OK, getting off track, old guys do that.
So when the list came out, it was a mixed reaction in the News Room.
Read Shepherd and I are the same age, well not really, he's a few months older, so I consider him my senior.
Jim Gagliardi is a few years older than us, but he's a former DJ himself, and there's an underlying hip factor to him.
George Morris is the young whippersnapper of the group, so it's safe to say he's aware of all things music.
John Craig is well aware of Contemporary Music, but only the Sesame Street version of the songs.
Diane Donato and Tom Rigatti are well versed in music, aided by (and no disrespect when I say this) having kids so they are still in the "relevent parent zone".
So as we're looking at the list (click here to see it), Read and I comment that aside from Shiela E. and Grand Funk Railroad, there's really no one that well known.
"Oh no!" says the group as a whole, "What about Fitz & The Tantrums?"
And then they educated me.
And I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Maybe I'll actually go now.
Truth be told, I'm not totally out of touch...
I do know how to twerk...
but nobody got time for that!

Team Kilimanjaro the BEST GUIDES in Kili!
I am beyond grateful to Ally for the great work she did in helping me plan our trip! It was a trip of a lifetime for all of us. We were 4 girlfriends and 2 guys who we did not know before and joined our group and became good friends to us. Nick Basso our guide and his team were a dream team! I can't say enough good things about Nick Basso, his caring for us on a daily basis with no details ever been overlooked. The food we ate in the mountain was out of this world delicious and they were so accommodating to our needs. I did close to a year of research and could not have picked a better company. Thank you for everything Team Kilimanjaro! Ally your attention to details were a must and much appreciated. Nick you are the best and we will be friends forever! Sincerely,
Paula, Flavia, Juliana, Mike, Glynne, Joel and Wendy

Kilimanjaro in 7 days
We were a party of five from Wales UK. Aged mostly in our fifties. We took seven days and all made the summit. Without Team Kilimanjaro I doubt we would have all made it. We met other climbers who went with other companies who had a lower success rate for their groups
Corroboration of Service Usage
An unforgettable experience
My adult son and I just completed an 8-day Excel trek on the TK Rongai Route. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. In preparation for the trek, David responded quickly and plainly to all questions; and as the start date neared he sent a series of messages covering everything we needed to know. We arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) at 8:30 PM and after quickly passing through Customs we immediately spotted our placard-holding driver who drove us about an hour to the Outpost Lodge in Arusha. We had opted for standard lodging and were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely gated enclave of cottages nestled among tropical foliage with comfortable mosquito-netted beds, western-style bathrooms, free WiFi, a very moderately priced restaurant with a broad international menu, and very friendly staff.
Since we had a free day before our climb, David had arranged a walking tour of Arusha for the next morning at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed it very much.
The night before the start of the climb, Kevn, our principal guide, met us at the lodge, ensured that all our gear was adequate, and provided the few rental items (mittens, gaiters, etc.) that we had told David that we would need.
Kevn and Richard (our assistant guide) offered just the right combination of urging and restraint to ensure that had a successful summit. They frequently examined and questioned us to ensure that we were in good condition and that we weren't hiding any ill effects of the altitude. The supporting team was excellent.
We will never forget the unfailing good spirit and politeness of the trekking support team. My son and I each carried only a day pack containing what we needed for the day – mainly water, energy bars, and rain gear. After we left camp each morning, the team would break camp, pack everything up, and haul it to the next camp site. After about an hour on the trail, the porters would begin to pass us carrying large back packs as well as loads balanced on their heads. As they passed, they would encourage us, who were hiking far more slowly with much lesser loads. Probably the most pleasantly surprising thing was the variety and quality of the food provided. The things that the cook (Po) prepared using only a small camp stove were amazing.
After the trek we spend anther night at the lodge and then were driven back to the airport by TK. Everything arranged or provided by Team Kilimanjaro throughout the trip met or exceeded our expectations. Well done!
Corroboration of Service Usage
Highly Reccommednded
The whole team at TK were fantastic from start to finish.
I was a single climber and made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Transport from the airport to the hotel was comfortable and the driving a lot less scary than I had imagined. Our lead guide Leo met me at the Hotel and answered any questions I had. Transport from the hotel to the start point was on time. The journey is fairly long to the start point and the bus was a little cramped but not unbearable.
Once we started the climb everything was organized and in place just as described in the itinerary and during each brief given by Leo. His team done an amazing job of transporting all equipment and setting up ready for our arrival. Food during the climb was of a much higher standard than I had imagined.
I did suffer from some sickness the day before summiting but followed the guidance of the lead guide Leo and still managed to summit with the main group with no dramas.
Corroboration of Service Usage
An unforgettable amazing trip of a lifetime!
This was my first trip to Africa and I was part of a team of 8 women (Team LUCKili - Ladies of Uckfield Climb Kilimanjaro) that took the 8 day Alternative Lemosho Route to the summit of Kili. I cannot praise Joshua R and his wonderful team enough!
We were made to feel so welcome and so safe during our adventure. Joshua R and his assistant guides Filex, Frank and Silvery were strong, confident, fun and friendly leaders. Haruna, Jonathan, Eliudy and Pol were lovely, intuitive and caring - always ensuring we had enough food, water... always going the extra mile with a smile! Omary and his team's cooking was delicious - we were in awe of each and every meal made on the mountain! A special mention to Frank for carrying my heavy camera for me - he took lots of photos and captured some very special moments for Team LUCKili ("Wacheka! hahahahahaha!")
Summit night was sooooo special. A night that I will never forget. We had an amazing team that got us to the top... Joshua, Frank, Filex and Silvery were joined by Haruna, Joshua A, Eric and Philipo to help us reach the summit... We were so well looked after - their care and attention for each and every one of us was second to none. What really made it special for me was their singing on summit night... I really think that their singing got us to the top - it gave us all something to focus on and walk in time to, pole pole, of course!
We all made it to the summit on Thurs 9th Feb 2017, where we were so elated that we danced and sang together on the rooftop of Africa - my feet haven't really touched the ground since! Such an amazing experience with my "dada nguvu" ("strong sisters"), with a truly special team of guides and porters. I will never forget you and this amazing adventure. Thank you so much. Asante sana kaka!

Ratings for Dr. R.G. Dyck
I love having Dr. Dyck as my Optomotrist. He's is knowledgable, professional, friendly and funny. I actually look forward to my appointments. His support staff are wonderful too, very friendly as well. Never had an issue and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great eye doctor!
I have been going to Dr Dyck's office for over 20 yrs. I have never had an issue with the staff and find everyone very friendly. It seems Dr Dyck cares about his patients and does give you advice that is in your best interest. Not just to make money. I will be going there until he retires.
TERRIBLE patient/customer service, especially if you have concerns when your Rx is not working! Just like previous review. The lady upfront is RUDE, unprofessional and it's such a "money hungry" practice. Not a very friendly or compassion people when you are having problems after you filled glasses and have issues. If you are going back with issue with your Rx when you just saw him, it's new charge! Patient exam is expensive compared to other practices.
I have been to this doctor for more than three years. He has contacts with the eye specialist who will refer you to him. The lady at he front desk is so rude and horrible attitude that you will not like to enter the clinic again. The machines are very old and most of the time not working. Last time my half test was postponed and never done again
I have been going to Dr. Dyck for many years now. Best customer service you can ask for. All staff is very friendly and knowlegable, and Dr. Dyck has a great sense of humour. I'll be coming back for years to come. :-) Highly recommended!
Dr.Dyck is amazing. I've been going to him for as long as I can remember. He's very helpful and friendly. For the most part, his staff is very friendly. He takes his time with each patient and cares about each and every single one of them! He's knowledgeable and wont push you to do anything you're not comfortable with! I would recommend him to anybody.
Outstanding service each and every time I come in. I have moved to the island and back and back and have always maintained eyes with Dr Dyck. The commute was worth it in my mind. Happy to be back here now but there is probably a dozen Doctors closer but I am a patient for life
Been going here 17 years. Great doctor. Staff not overly friendly, but professional. Tells it like it is. Won't let me get laser cause of my script. Looking out for my best interests. Recommended. He's a family man and is easy to chat. Genuine interest in your life.
Very well run practice. Doc is great as are his staff. Our family is very statisfied. However a better selection of glasses would be appreciated.

How To Get Kate's Reverse Cat Eye!
Check out Kate Hudson's super sleek and architectural-feeling eye makeup at this past Sunday's Golden Globes. I'm loving it—the look is sort of like a reverse cat eye. Not only are her inner rims lined, but the liquid liner is extended beyond the inner corners of her eyes (rather than the usual outer-corner cat-eye look). Different, fresh, totally cool, no? Get the quick how-to, after the jump! Begin by lightly brushing a white, luminous shadow from lash line up to brow line. If you are looking for a bit more brow-bone highlighting action, go a tiny bit heavier right under the brow arch. (Only slightly!) For a bit of contouring, apply a light gray shadow into each eye crease. Now, take your liquid liner (MAC's Fluidline seems to really stay in place well along the waterline of your inner rims) and using small strokes, line as close to your eye as you can possibly stand. When you get to the inner corner of your eye, keep lining! Extend the line about two or three millimeters beyond your rim—the top and bottom lines will eventually come to a triangle point. Clean up errant lines with a little makeup remover on a Q-tip, and dust a tiny bit of extra white shadow on places where you may have removed that too. Finally, mascara, mascara, mascara! Oh, and go with a pale, light peach shade on lips and cheeks—it'll ensure that nothing steals the spotlight from your eyes!

Specialist hospital plan for Royal Oldham
Reporter: Lucy Kenderdine
Date online: 08 July 2014
THE Royal Oldham could be turned into a specialist hospital if radical plans to reconfigure Greater Manchester's hospitals go ahead.
Healthier Together, which has been reviewing health and care in Greater Manchester, has put forward the plans which aim to give the public better access to services and deliver better quality care.
A public consultation, which went live today during an event at the Manchester Science and Industry Museum, is urging people to get involved and have their say on the proposals.
Under the plans, which have been developed over the past two years, Royal Oldham Hospital will be one of up to five specialist hospitals dealing with the most severely ill patients with a "single service" team of staff working together across different hospitals.
Other specialist hospitals will include Salford Royal (already an adult neuroscience specialist) and Manchester Royal Infirmary (specialist paediatric services).
Royal Oldham was chosen due to its location as it will reduce, as far as possible, the impact on those needing to travel to a specialist hospital.
The public will be asked to decide whether an additional one or two sites, from a shortlist of Bolton, Wigan, Stockport and Wythenshawe hospitals, will also become specialist hospitals.
Under the plans three hospitals, Fairfield in Bury, Tameside and North Manchester, will be local general hospitals and will continue to carry out planned procedures and general surgery as well as being partnered with a specialist hospital.
Services at Rochdale Infirmary and Trafford General would remain the same under the plans.
It is expected that 96 per cent of patients will still visit their local hospital for accident and emergency, acute medicine services and general surgery with only the very sickest patients taken to a specialist centre for treatment.
No accident and emergency departments will close and there will be no staff cuts, and all facilities will be upgraded to meet agreed quality and safety standards, a standard that even the best hospitals in the area do not currently meet.
To have your say, visit the Healthier Together website www.healthiertogethergm.nhs.uk
For a full version of this story see the digital edition or buy the Chronicle.
I have to have regular checks on a melanoma operaton I had last year. They have now closed the unit I went to at Oldham and transferred it to Tameside. A few weeks ago I had an appointment at 4-30 and actually saw the Doctor at 6-20pm.
I really can't swallow this about being seen at your local Hospital if this is an example of future visits. I could go on my own to Oldham but have to be taken to Ashton
The money is there within the NHS budget......the problem is still the unsustainable level of self serving bureaucracy.
My Wife has to go to Wythenshawe for a Cardiac Check next Week, it can be done at Oldham.

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: some interesting new polls:
- McCain has double-digit leads on Romney in New York, New Jersey and Missouri but narrowly trails the former Massachusetts governor in California, the biggest prize on "Super Tuesday."
- Obama has a slight lead in California and is virtually tied with Clinton in New Jersey and Missouri heading into the biggest day of voting in a U.S. presidential nominating campaign, with contests in 24 states from coast to coast.
Does Romney have to win New York or California on Tuesday to stay in the race? Can Obama run the table and really put pressure on the Clintons?

Docket: 97D-0318 - Revised Preventive Measures to Reduce Transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) by Blood
Comment Number: EC -9
Accepted - Volume 3
Comment Record
Mr. Paul Novikoff
2001-09-28 18:10:15
Alpha Therapeutic Corporation
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
Dear Sirs or Madam, Alpha Therapeutic Corporation is providing the following comments relative to the draft CJD Guidance: 1. Donor Screening Alpha feels that it would be helpful to provide guidance on the "appropriate counseling" of donors at an increased risk for CJD. Alpha advocates that the "Recommended Questions to Identify Donors at Risk for exposure to BSE" be coordinated to coincide with SPE screening at four-month intervals. 2. Post Donation Information Additional questions regarding donor travel are to be included in the screening process. As a result of these new questions, some currently qualified donors may be deferred. Language in the guidance suggests that lookbacks and BPDRs will be required as a result of this additional screening. Alpha advocates that retrospective lookbacks or BPDRs are not necessary since the current scientific evidence does not support that CJD or vCJD is transmitted by blood transfusion in humans. Additionally, implementation of new screening questions and information obtained in response to them is not an unexpected and unforeseeable event as it relates to previously qualified donors. Alpha advocates a prospective quarantine beginning after 31 May 2002. This approach would be similar to FDA recommendations used when implementing testing for anti-HCV. 3. Plasma Derivatives Alpha does not advocate the withdrawal of pooled plasma, intermediates, or plasma derivatives manufactured from donors with CJD or CJD risk factors, or exposure to vCJD. 4. Military deferrals It appears that the rationale for military associated deferrals is based on shipments of British beef and not exposure years. Alpha advocates a thorough review of proposed military deferral criteria and a possible revision if supported by a meaningful review of exposure years. 5. Clarification Please clarify the wording "as soon as possible" on page fifteen of the Draft Guidance. BPDR's currently must be reported within 45 days of discovery. Is this time frame acceptable? 6. Vegetarians Will FDA exclude strict vegetarians from the vCJD deferral process?

The $US80 billion ($74.6 billion) merger of commodities trading giant Glencore and coalmining group Xstrata provides a fascinating test for one of the biggest and most successful dealmakers in the resources sector – Mick Davis.
Davis has made his name as the consummate dealmaker in an industry rife with people who regard themselves as smarter than the next guy.
The high point of his career was the $2.9 billion takeover of MIM Holdings in 2003 before the world realised there was about to be a boom in commodities driven by Chinese demand.
Although he is known for getting assets on the cheap, as he did with MIM, Davis would be insulted if the merger of equals idea proposed by Glencore chief executive
It is clear from the way the deal was announced that the proposed transaction is being driven by Glasenberg.
This is not a merger of equals that has been agreed beforehand and announced in an amicable way.
Chanticleer could be wrong but this looks like being a street fight. Although the next few weeks will be a little like the calm before the storm while Davis tries to work out some way of delivering greater value to his shareholders.
Not having a takeover premium for a company he has built from scratch would be a huge blow to Davis's ego.
The problem Davis has is that his company is 35 per cent owned by the proposed friendly merger partner. Davis can't do a deal with anybody else because of the Glasenberg foot on a third of the company.
It is well known in banking circles that Davis has been trying to get a Chinese partner to do a deal with the company that would remove the Glencore position, but nothing eventuated.
A friendly merger of equals could end up happening providing the "social issues" are resolved, which is code for who runs the company. Also, it would require a very strong board of directors.
If that happened and Davis got the top job, it would give him a shot at achieving a goal set a decade ago to run a company bigger than
Legend has it that after Davis was passed over for the top job at BHP Billiton, when that company was created in 2001, he vowed to turn the relatively small Xstrata into a global mining giant. In the decade since then he has transformed a company with a market cap of $US500 million into one with a market cap of about $US50 billion.
But at today's market values, Davis is a long way behind catching his former Billiton colleague who worked on the BHP merger,
Kloppers sits atop the world's biggest resources company but that may change.
If Davis remains with the company after a merger of equals then the path would be open for the merged company to bid for Anglo American.
That could happen without Davis on board.
Xstrata previously tried to take over Anglo. It was a $US40 billion transaction in 2009. Its market cap has since grown to about $US54 billion including a sharp spike in its share price last night after the Glencore/Xstrata deal became public.
A combination of Glencore with Xstrata and Anglo would create the world's largest coal company, including the dominant position in South Africa.
It is probably premature to talk about the creation of a $US130 billion mining company when the only information now available about the Glencore/Xstrata deal is a two-paragraph statement confirming an approach had been made.
There are three reasons why Glasenberg has said that a merger makes sense.
First, there are the cost savings from combining the mining operations of the two companies in Australia, South Africa, South America and elsewhere. It is hard to quantify this amount.
Second, there would be the value from having the management of Xstrata's production under the control of Glencore's commodity market executives, who specialise in a three-pronged arbitrage strategy.
This was described in a note by Citigroup last year at the time of the Glencore float.
There is geographic arbitrage, which takes advantage of the global relationships, production, processing and logistics; product arbitrage, which involves blending and processing; and time arbitrage.
The third advantage of putting the two companies together would be the power the merged company would have in negotiating with customers.
However, the reasons for bringing the two companies together are also reasons why regulators in several jurisdictions will be wary and why major customers, particularly China, will probably push back against the transaction.
Job cuts at
The cost to income numbers, which show you the cost of earning a dollar of revenue, are as follows: Commonwealth Bank of Australia 38.5 per cent, ANZ Banking Group 43.8, Westpac 48.3 and NAB 52.4, according to an industry source.
These figures should be treated with some caution.
They have been taken from the latest public disclosures and adjusted so that figures are only for the domestic retail banking businesses.
However, they show how far Westpac and NAB are lagging the other two. It is not surprising that both have been playing catch-up in terms of technology investment.
Inefficient banks can hide their lack of investment in technology and lack of commitment to innovation during periods when top-line revenue is strong.
But they are left exposed when the environment changes and revenue growth is hard to achieve. That is happening now because of low credit growth.
Westpac expects mortgage lending growth this year of about 5 to 6 per cent, and business lending growth of about 1 to 2 per cent. Also, its chief economist,
The decision to cut 400 permanent jobs follows the creation of Australian Financial Services, which comprises Westpac retail and business banking, St George Banking Group, BT Financial Group, and banking products and risk management.
This group of businesses is being run by Peter Hanlon until Brain Hartzer arrives from the United Kingdom in the middle of the year.
Westpac argues that it is simply executing on its strategy, which includes streamlining processes and outsourcing technology application development to various partners, most of which are in India.
But it is hard to avoid the conclusion that it will take several years before it can catch up with CBA, which got ahead of the game through leadership in technology investment.
The bank has not stopped is normal employment programs.
In fact, it employed 83 new graduates this year and plans to employ 200 people this year at its Melbourne subsidiary, Bank of Melbourne.

By Fredreka Schouten, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Ten states have swiftly passed new laws requiring additional disclosure of political spending, following a Supreme Court ruling that lets corporations and unions pump unlimited amounts of money into certain campaign commercials.
The push in states comes as a high-profile effort in Congress to blunt the court's January ruling has stalled in the Senate amid strong opposition by Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Senate inaction has cast doubts that any new federal disclosure rules will be in place before November's midterm House and Senate elections.
Democrats— such as the bill's chief sponsor, New York Sen. Charles Schumer— hope to bring a revised version of the bill to the Senate floor as early as next week in an attempt to revive the debate.
"In most of the states, it's 'Hey, what's the big deal? Let's provide information,' " said Meredith McGehee, policy director of the Campaign Legal Center, one of the groups that advocate stricter campaign-finance rules. She said congressional efforts have been hampered by a "poisonous Washington atmosphere" ahead of Election Day.
ELECTION 2010: Welfare agencies boost voters
MOTOR VOTER LAW: Likely to be bigger priority for states
"We could have midterms in which millions and millions of dollars are being spent, and Americans have no clue who is doing the spending," she said.
The court ruling applies to independent campaign ads that target candidates.
Among the states requiring new rules: Iowa, where the name of the corporation, along with that of its CEO, would have to appear in any independent ads it funds.
Organizations also would have to certify to the state's ethics officials that its political spending was approved by a leadership body, such as its board of directors. The same rules apply to unions.
"We tried to find the balance between the Supreme Court's ruling and helping voters understand who is funding the advertising," said Iowa Sen. Jeff Danielson, a Democrat, who pushed for new disclosure.
Rules requiring disclosure of corporate and union spending also have become law in recent months in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, South Dakota and West Virginia, according to data compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
All had previously banned any corporate spending on independent ads and changed state law to comply with the high court ruling. A 10th state, Washington, broadened its existing disclosure rules. Efforts in Iowa and other states to impose tougher restrictions, such as requiring shareholder approval of political spending, have failed.
"This is a fairly moderate attempt to shed light on where the money is coming from for voters," Jennifer Bowser, a senior fellow at the National Conference of State Legislatures, said of the new statutes.
The congressional proposal, dubbed the Disclose Act, steers clear of shareholder approval, but would require CEOs and union chiefs to appear in ads they fund and bar companies with federal contracts worth more than $10 million from funding political advertising that targets candidates.
It passed the House of Representatives by a narrow margin last month, but supporters have failed to win any Republican backing in the Senate, where they need 60 votes to bypass GOP opposition.
Sean Parnell, president of the conservative Center for Competitive Politics, said the congressional bill is "clearly aimed at undoing the Supreme Court's ruling" and has stalled for good reason.

From the Prologue: THE CAT
A few years ago, the Home Box Office network aired a program entitled "To Love or Kill: Man vs. Animals." It told a fascinating and, at the same time, a disturbing story about how different cultures treat the same animals differently. One especially chilling segment took viewers out to dinner in a small Chinese village. You know how, in some American restaurants, patrons get to choose from among live lobsters or live fish?
And how, after they make their selection, the animal is killed, and the chef cooks a meal of their choice? At this Chinese restaurant, things are the same except the menu is different. At this restaurant, patrons get to select from among live cats and dogs.
The video takes its time. First we see the hungry patrons inspect the cats and dogs, jammed cheek by jowl into wooden cages; next we see them talk it over; then we see them make their selection; finally we see the cook, using long metal tongs, yank a white fluffy cat from her cage and hurry into the kitchen. What follows does not make for pleasant reading, so feel free to skip the next paragraph.
While the cat claws and screeches, the cook hits her several times with an iron bar. Clawing and screeching more now, she is abruptly submerged in a tub of scalding water for about ten seconds. Once removed, and while still alive, the cook skins her, from head to tail, in one swift pull. He then throws the traumatized animal into a large stone vat where (as the camera zooms in) we watch her gulp slowly, with increasing difficulty, her eyes glazed, until — her last breath taken — she drowns. The whole episode, from selection to final breath, takes several minutes. When the meal is served, the diners eat heartily, offering thanks and praise to the cook.
I have never been more stunned in my life. I was literally speechless. Like most Americans, I already knew that some people in China, Korea, and other countries eat cat and eat dog. The video didn't teach me any new fact about dietary customs. What was new for me, what pushed me back in my chair, was seeing how this is done, seeing the process. Watching the awful shock and suffering of the cat was devastating. I felt a mix of disbelief and anger welling-up in my chest. I wanted to scream, "Stop it! What are you doing? Stop it!"
But what made matters worse, at least for me, was how the people behaved. For them, everything was just so ordinary, just so ho-hum, just so matter-of-fact. The diners said, "We'll have this cat for our dinner" the way we say, "We'll have this roll with our coffee." And the cook? The cook could not have cared less about the cat's ordeal. The poor animal might just as well have been a block of wood as far as he was concerned. I have never seen people behave so nonchalantly, so comfortably, so indifferently in the face of an animal's suffering and death. I don't think many Americans could watch this episode and not ask themselves, as I asked myself, "What is this world coming to?"
In the years since I first saw "To Love or Kill," I have imagined different variations of the episode I have just described. First variation: Everything is the same as in the original video except the dogs and cats are housed in large cages rather than jammed together. I ask myself, "Would making their cages larger make a difference in my thinking? Would I say, 'Well, since the cat lived in a larger cage, I no longer object to what happened to her?" My answer is always the same. I would still object to what happened to her.
Second variation: In addition to living in a larger cage, the cook handles the cat gently and ends her life by giving her a shot of sodium pentobarbital, from which, to all appearances, she dies peacefully. Aside from these changes, everything else in the video remains the same. I ask myself the same kinds of question. "Would these changes make a difference in my thinking? Would I say, 'Well, since the cat lived in a larger cage, was treated gently, and died peacefully, I no longer object to what happened to her?" My answer is always the same. I would still object to what happened to her.
Does this mean that I think these imaginary variations are just as bad as the original? No. Larger cages are better than smaller cages. Gentle treatment is better than violent treatment. Nevertheless, when that fluffy white cat is killed and skinned for dinner, even if she had lived in a larger cage and was killed without undue suffering, I would still want to shout (or at least plead), "Stop it! What are you doing? Stop it!" I cannot help thinking that the vast majority of people throughout the world, including many Chinese and Koreans, would agree with me.

India papering over the cracks
When should a bad patch be considered more serious than a mere cyclical downturn? When should a run of defeats signal the need for dramatic, fundamental change rather than simply for patience so that the cycle can turn again?
These questions are not easy to answer, but they should be asked right now by those in charge of Indian cricket.
The warning signs have been there for a while, long before England highlighted them in Mumbai and Calcutta. India have lost ten out of their past 16 Tests and have looked equally shabby at home and abroad, so that Gautam Gambhir's declaration in England two summers ago that things would be different on home soil is highlighted for what it was: weak, self-serving and ultimately…

The Master Socio-Ecological Economics and Policy (SEEP) is an innovative, internationally unique program that equips participants with the necessary theoretical background and factual information about the interconnected dynamics of economic and social systems and the physical environment. The program also enables participants to use appropriate analytical tools to engage in decision processes and longer-term policy on multiple spatial levels.
Visit the website:
Course detail
Rapid environmental change, population dynamics, poverty, and exclusion are interrelated processes that challenge human development. To tackle these complex issues, traditional disciplinary approaches to analysis and policy formulation are not sufficient. Instead, integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to studying the working of the human-environment system are needed. The Master Socio-Ecological Economics and Policy presents integrated approaches to development and human well-being that go beyond the usual polarization between socioeconomic development and environmental goals.
The program offers training in socioeconomic analysis and focuses on the interfaces between environmental, economic and social challenges. This interdisciplinary and internationally oriented approach is based on three major pillars: theory, methodology, and application. The theory courses include concepts from a variety of disciplines, chosen for their relevance to global challenges. The methodological courses offer an integrated introduction to qualitative and quantitative methods and thus illustrate how they are best combined in empirical analyses. Relevance for policy making and organizational practice is emphasized throughout the program.
Our main focus lies on providing a thorough internationalization at the home university by attracting a diverse set of students from all over the world. The "international classroom at home" thus created is meant to allow students to experience foreign (academic) cultures, languages (especially English), and an international renowed faculty without having to leave the campus.
The program offers four concentration areas of which you can choose two: Environment, Population, Multi-Level Policy and Social Policy.
- Semester 1 -
- Contemporary Global Policy Challenges
- Methodology for Interdisciplinary Research
- Growth, Well-Being, and Development
- International Institution, Governance, and Policy Evaluation
- Service Learning 1
- Semester 2 -
- Actors, Behaviors, and Decision Processes
- Qualitative and Quantitative Methods

The 21st century is characterized by challenges that are unique in the history of mankind. Technological advances and social developments, together with a high level of interconnectedness due to globalization and the continuous expansion of the Internet are dramatically changing the world's dynamics.

The full-time Master in Supply Chain Management is unique in Europe. It combines a thorough education in relevant theories and state-of-the-art methods and techniques with a transdisciplinary and integrated view to gain a deeper understanding of supply chain related decision problems from a performance perspective.
Visit the website:
Course detail
Supply chain networks are the skeletons that underpin the business world. These networks are increasingly global in nature, with products consisting of parts manufactured in different regions of the world, assembled in other locations, and then shipped across continents to retailers and consumers. Such complex networks consist of manufacturers and their suppliers, shippers and carriers using various modes of transportation, distribution centers where the products are stored and sent to retailers which ultimately supply the customers. Supply chains involve many decision-makers interacting with one another, sometimes competing, and at other times cooperating out of necessity.
The Master in Supply Chain Management focuses on the analysis, design, management, and operation of supply chains in manufacturing and professional service industries. Using a broad definition of supply chain management (SCM), supply chain problems are being tackled in profit and non-profit environments. The former includes retailers, wholesalers, logistics service providers, manufacturers, and suppliers, while the latter includes the public sector and non-governmental organizations, for example in disaster relief logistics.
You can choose two out of six specialization areas following your interests:
- Business Analytics in Supply Chains
- Location Analytics and Geospatial Data
- Retail Marketing
- Supply Chain Finance and Risks
- Sustainable and Humanitarian Supply Chains
- Transport and Logistics.
A thorough international experience
The Master's program in Supply Chain Management focuses not only on global issues connected to supply chains but also attracts many international students. The student body is made up of a broad variety of nationalities. The students who enrolled in the fall of 2014 come from 18 different countries, located on four continents. Hence, the program offers a truly international experience through an international education, an internationally renowned faculty as well as an international culture among the students throughout the two years.
Career Prospects
Exceptional management of the procurement, production and delivery of a firm's products and services - its supply chain - is an essential part of modern business life. The Master's program in Supply Chain Management at WU Vienna prepares graduates to stand out in this challenging and critically important career field.
Graduates of the Master's program are qualified to be tomorrow's experts in the increasingly complex world of supply chains, including:
- supply chain strategy/controlling/planning,
- business process excellence,
- inventory management,
- lean/green supply chain management,
- manufacturing and logistics,
- sourcing and purchasing,
- sales and after sales services, or
- advanced planning systems.
If your ambition is an academic and/or a research career you will achieve the necessary qualifications to succeed in this dynamic and challenging field.

Report: Ludacris asks for custody of daughter
Listen to Ludacris on iHeartRadio
Ludacris is asking for custody of his two-month child.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, the rapper has filed for full custody of his daughter with his ex Tamika Fuller.
Luda points out that he's a "fit and capable parent." He even cites his role as an "active father" of his 12-year-old daughter as a reason why he deserves custody of the infant.
Along with full custody of the two-month-old, Luda also wants Tamika to pay him child support.
Just last week, a judge lowered the rapper's child support payments to Fuller from $15,000 per month to $7,000. Ludacris claimed he couldn't afford the payments because he only made around $55,000 last year.

As with most of the programs, this one begins with an opening screen that informs the student of the content of the program, while also providing recordings of greetings from some thirty-five different languages. The student can choose the Next button to cycle through the recordings until s/he hears his/her language played. The student clicks on the icon of a book to actually begin the program.
The main screen appears next. The menu choices are Exercise, Show, Help and Exit program. The choice for Show is temporarily greyed out at this point.
The student would click on Exercise to open further menu choices: Word, Root and Meaning Family.
After the student clicks on the menu choice Exercise..Word, a randomly chosen root is sought by the computer. Contained with that root are various words; the computer picks one at random and displays a short phrase or sentence designed to elicit that word.
In the nearby image, the computer has provided the student with the information that the root is "neg"; the exercise phrase is "He was __ in his duties." A blue box with the caption "You Type" appears, and the student is asked to type in a word based on the root "neg" that seems to fit the context. The student has typed the correct answer "negligent;" when s/he clicks on OK the computer will provide appropriate feedback.
After the student has clicked on OK and read the feedback provided, s/he is advised that s/he can click on Exercise again for another exercise, or can click on one of the icons that now appear below this information box. The icons are a down arrow, a bridge, and an open book, signifying a display of the parts or pieces of the word, the group of related words, and the dictionary, respectively.
The nearby image shows the screen after the student has clicked on the down arrow to see the parts of the word. A new screen appears, captioned "Split Parts of Word;" the student is instructed to click on the down arrow and gets to see the root of the word, "neg", appear to float down from the top blue box, and the suffix "-ent" appear to float from the red suffix box to the right of the root and down.
This is to inform the student that the root "neg(li)" combines with the adjective suffix "-ent" to form the word "negligent." The student clicks on Go on to return to the main screen.
The student can click on the icon of the bridge to see words that are connected in meaning to "negligent" because they are formed from the same root, "neg."
The nearby image shows the screen that results. The information is that the root "neg" comes from Latin, where it means "not," that the related words (they open from the yellow list) are "negative" and "negligent." Clicking on one of these words immediately produces a quick definition of that word in the box.
The student clicks on Go on to return to the main screen again.
If the student clicks on the icon of the open book, s/he sees a definition of the word "negligent."
A small screen appears, and the student is asked to click on the icon of the reference book to read the definition. The nearby image shows this screen, with the definition of the word "negligent" visible; the student scrolls down to read more.
The student clicks on Go on to return to the main screen again.
From the main screen, the student can click on Exercise..Root, and then You choose to actually select a root to work with.
The nearby image shows what happens after Exercise..Root, and then You choose are selected. A red list box appears; the student can then scroll down and choose a root. In this case, the student is about to select the root "cede." When s/he does, the computer then randomly chooses among the words it knows that have the root "cede" in them, and provides the exercise phrase or sentence designed to elicit that word.
When the student completes the exercise, the options described above then become available, featuring an analysis of the word ("precede", for example, is divisible into "pre-" and "cede"), a chance to see related words, and a chance to read a dictionary definition of the word.
When these activities are finished, the student can return to the main screen again.
From the main screen, the student can click on Exercise..Meaning Family.. and then You Choose. This time s/he will see a green list that contains English words that convey the sense of a particular root.
In the nearby image, the green list box appears and the student is about to select "break fract" as his choice. What happens here is that the computer will go through the words it "knows" have the root "fract" in them, and provide a phrase or short sentence designed to elicit that word. When the studnet finishes that exercise, the usual choices of viewing the word formation, the related words, and the dictionary definition are available again.
From the main screen, the student can continue with any of these activities.

About the Book
This a photo journal of a pack trip to the Chilcotin in 2009 which took Dave Arkell, Jim McGregor , Alex Wales and the author over the Spectrum Pass and on to Dorothy Lake. This lake must be one of the most remote and pristine lakes left in the Chilcotin Area. The shoreline was formed of a gravel hardpack that allowed travel by horseback along a good length of it in the water on the shoreline to avoid a large area of blowdown that would have slowed the horseback travels considerably. The trail to and from Dorothy Lake is sketchy at best and not well travelled in the last several years, or ever. Despite the fires in British Columbia in the summer of 2009, mid August found the area wet and cool.
What a spectacular country we have at our doorstep !
Thanks to Alex, Dave and especially Jim for finding our way around Dorothy Lake when, at the time, the options certainly appeared limited.
Another spectacular trip !

NEW YORK - Touting tofu chowder and vegetarian sushi as alternatives, animal-rights activists have launched a campaign arguing that fish - contrary to stereotype - are intelligent, sensitive animals no more deserving of being eaten than a dog or cat.
Called the Fish Empathy Project, the campaign reflects a strategy shift by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as it challenges a diet component widely viewed as nutritious and uncontroversial.
''No one would ever put a hook through a dog's or cat's mouth,'' said Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director of vegan outreach. ''Once people start to understand that fish, although they come in different packaging, are just as intelligent, they'll stop eating them.''
The campaign is in its infancy and will face broad skepticism. Major groups such as the American Heart Association recommend fish as part of a healthy diet; some academics say it is wrong to portray the intelligence and pain sensitivity of fish as comparable to mammals.
''Fish are very complex organisms that do all sorts of fascinating things,'' said University of Wyoming neuroscientist James Rose. ''But to suggest they know what's happening to them and worry about it, that's just not the case.''
PETA challenges claims by Rose and others that fish caught by anglers do not feel pain. It also decries the high levels of toxins in many fish and the pollution discharged by many fish farms.
The Empathy Project is a departure in two respects - attempting to depict the standard practices of commercial fishing as cruel and seeking to convince consumers there are ethical reasons for not eating fish.
''Fish are so misunderstood because they're so far removed from our daily lives,'' said Karin Robertson, project manager and daughter of an Indiana fisheries biologist. ''They're such inter- esting, fascinating individuals, yet they're so incredibly abused.''
The project was inspired by several recent scientific studies - widely reported in Britain but little-noticed in the United States - detailing facets of fish intelligence. Oxford University researcher Theresa Burt de Perera, for example, reported blind Mexican cave fish are able to interpret water pressure changes to construct mental maps of their surroundings. Chris Glass of the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Massachusetts led another study, showing how North Sea haddock developed abilities to avoid trawlers' nets.

So instead, the guys brought home some ladies willing to take off their underwear in the Jacuzzi.
Bright, bold colors, amazing flowers, and a 24-hour Jacuzzi are bound to agree with you, if not earn you a new friend or two.
Eventually, Weirich had to kick out her Jacuzzi and plants from her sunroom, where she now holds court.
There was a buffet, a game room, a dance floor, an enormous Jacuzzi, and a mammoth swimming pool.
Derzis has a knack for design (her home with its Jacuzzi tub and skyline view was featured in a Birmingham paper recently).
The old ladies and pregnant mothers who crowd the middle lines, and dominate the Jacuzzi, are nowhere to be seen.
These are people bathing in a Jacuzzi inside a private house meant for guests.
Or was "The Situation" that he liked to lounge in the Jacuzzi with grenades and their ilk?
"I introduced him to everyone at the Jacuzzi and they gave him a standing ovation," recalled Levenson.
1966, U.S. proprietary name, from Jacuzzi Bros., Inc., Little Rock, Arkansas.

Dakota Fanning Feels the Burn at the Gym
Posted Wednesday January 16, 2013 12:00 AM GMT
Perhaps going a bit too hard in her workout, Dakota Fanning exited the gym holding her back in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 15).
The "Twilight" star wore a gray zip-up sweatshirt, blue scarf, black workout leggings, and purple sneakers as she made her way back to her vehicle.
Later this year, the 18-year-old actress teams up with Elizabeth Olsen in the upcoming movie, "Very Good Girls."
In the Naomi Foner-written and directed drama, two New York City girls pact to lose their virginity during their first summer out of high school. When they both fall for the same street artist, the friends find their connection tested for the first time.
Enjoy the pictures of Dakota Fanning at the gym (January 15).
