Veteran Korea Manager for Invesco Says It's Time for DefenseBy
Simon Jeong sticking to shares least tied to economic swings
Manager shuns industrial giants that have rallied this year
As instability bubbles anew in global markets, one manager is sticking with boring.
Simon Jeong, whose $220 million Invesco Korean Equity Fund has trounced almost everyone over the past three years, sees no reason to give up on the stocks that are responsible for his success. He's holding on to shares least affected by economic swings -- such as companies that sell diapers, food seasonings and noodles -- and bypassing industrial giants that have rallied in Seoul since February.
While Jeong's stance has cost him in 2016, relegating him to the bottom rung of managers in South Korea's market with a 14 percent loss, it's barely dented his longer-term record. He's beating 92 percent of its peers since 2013 with a 6.2 percent annual return.
"There's no change in our investment style regardless of the latest rally of cyclical stocks," said Jeong. "I prefer buying and holding quality stocks for a long time."
Volatility has returned to equity markets amid concern central banks are reluctant to boost stimulus even as the global economy sputters. The Kospi index fell the most in more than two months last Monday as Samsung Electronics Co. had the biggest drop since 2012. The Korean market regained some ground on Monday after a three-day holiday.
Jeong still likes Hanssem Co., a retailer of kitchen furniture that is up threefold since September 2013 even with a 34 percent retreat this year, and convenience store chain operator BGF Retail Co., which has soared 340 percent since its listing.
Jeong, who worked at Franklin Templeton Investment Trust Management Co. in Seoul for a decade starting in 1996 when it was rare for a Korean native to work for a foreign asset manager, advocates a slow-and-steady approach to insulate his fund from fickle sentiment.
"When investing in cyclical stocks, the timing of buying and selling is important," he said. "If you miss the investment timing in cyclical stocks, the return would be less than that of holding a quality stock for a long time."
Going against the herd, Jeong shifted his investing style a few years ago to move away from stocks sensitive to economic cycles. The transition in his strategy came while South Korea's expansion slowed in 2011 and 2012.
"We don't respond to the current markets," he said. "I don't look into the macro-economy much when I invest."
Not everyone agrees. Kim Jung Hyun, a strategist in Seoul, says stocks like the ones Jeong favors will come under pressure as the Federal Reserve moves to raise U.S. interest rates.
"Uncertainties will grow starting in the fourth quarter," said Kim, who works at IBK Securities.
Among competitors, Macquarie Investment Management and Franklin Templeton are piling into South Korea's large-cap stocks tied to the economic cycle. Those companies have benefited amid signs of stability in commodity markets and China's economy, and a view that global economic growth is improving with the U.S. nearing full employment. South Korea's economic growth in the second quarter was better than expected and policy makers stepped up fiscal and monetary stimulus to boost growth.
Posco, South Korea's largest steelmaker, has rallied 32 percent this year after tumbling 40 percent in 2015, and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., which fell 79 percent over the past two years, is up 55 percent after posting the highest operating profit in three years.
Jeong says he is comfortable with valuations in his portfolio that are several times the average for the Kospi index. Dongsuh Cos., a maker of vegetable cooking oils, trades at 2.6 times price-to-book value, while BGF Retail, the operator of the country's major convenience store of CU, trades at 5.6 times. That compares with the Kospi's 0.9 times.
"When foreign investors talk about Korea, they mostly see the Korean economy and some big companies only," he said. "But there are quite a lot of good companies in Korea, running some independent businesses."

End of Third Q: UCLA is starting to put things together. Lewis is such a good tight end, surprised he only has five catches tonight. A pass interference call against UW has them backed right up against the wall heading into the fourth quarter.
14:56/4th: As the 2005 UCLA Women's water polo team is getting recognized for their national
championship, the game goes on...literally. The Bruins' touchdown again brings their deficit to
three and again gives Washington's offense a chance to ring the bell and answer the call.
13:46/4th: Craig Chambers. That's all that needs to be said about that. Rankin and James
need to continue to pound away at the Bruins' D.
11:54/4th: Key penalties again crush promising drives. It's been a constant theme all year,
and there's no reason to think the referees would bail them out. As is stands, they got the call
right, but it's very frustrating to see a flag being thrown, only to later come back with an 'Ah
shucks, we didn't mean to throw it.'
11:19/4th: Phenomenal job by Sean Douglas and the UW punt coverage team, burying the Bruins
deep. Now is when winners capitalize on the opponent's poor field position and makes them pay.
9:24/4th: Now, at 3rd and 14, is when you contain and force a punt.
8:45/4th: A huge defensive play and a chance to get some field position. Marlon Wood with
the sure grab on UCLA's side of the field, I wouldn't be surprised if Wood is now Washington's
starting PR for the rest of the season. Now Stanback and company need to milk some clock.
7:40/4th: Stanback tried to make something work, but that three-and-out was most unwelcome.
He still doesn't have the feel you're looking for when trying to make something on a busted play,
but it's coming. Now, back inside their 20 again, the Bruins go back to work.
7:05/4th: The Bruins have been watching too much UW ball. They make a play, then shoot
themselves in the foot with a penalty. And they aren't coming up with big plays when they need a
big play.
6:25/4th: The Dawgs are in uncharted waters now, a lead late on the road against a ranked
opponent. This is where Stanback needs to run the 4-minute offense just like he does in practice.
A 15-yard interference call against UCLA on UW's fair catch by Wood just helps with the cause.
5:27/4th: Dawgs score on a brilliant Rankin run, only to kill themselves with a hold.
Classic. They really need to keep plugging away, they are only stopping themselves at this point.
4:46/4th: More penalties. When will it end?
3:54/4th: If it weren't for the fact that they are grinding their guts out and still have a
lead, I would think Washington is in self-destruct mode right now. Douglas punts to the Bruin 27.
This is the game.
2:50/4th: Dashon Goldson comes up huge for Washington, thwarting a third-down attempt. Will
the Bruins go for it on 4th and 1? Yup, and complete it.
2:28/4th: C.J. Wallace keeps the Bruins from taking the lead as Marcus Everett tip-toes the
sideline. UCLA is inside the 10 and they are knocking.
1:40/4th: UCLA thinks they scored, and time is running. They are at the one and this call
by the refs might actually be hurting UW more than helping.
1:08/4th: The Bruins score a touchdown and another late 4th-quarter drive kills the Huskies.
The extra point means Washington has to score 6 or the game is over. Some UW players are putting
their helmets up in the air, most aren't. Frankly, I think they are stunned.
:55/4th: The last thing you need on the drive - a sack. The education of Isaiah Stanback
Halftime: It's been all Washington so far and the stats bear that out: 17 minutes of
possession, 38 plays run for 197 total yards (100 rush, 97 pass). The defense has forced two Drew
Olson picks and has only given up 27 yards on the ground and 104 yards total. Maurice Drew with 14
yards? Has to be a typo, right? Despite the numerous positives, the key stat is that those two
UCLA turnovers yielded zero points for the Huskies. Washington has to make them pay when the other
team gives the ball away. Well, my 51-21 UCLA prediction can be thrown out the window. who
thought this was going to be a defensive struggle?
12:50/3rd: UCLA trying to establish it early with a throw down the middle to Marcedes Lewis.
Caesar Rayford doesn't give up on third down and takes Olson down to thwart the Bruin's initial
second-half effort. Gunheim is also getting some pressure in the backfield.
12:25/3rd: Could it be 2003 all over again? Russo just whiffs on catching the punt, ball
goes a good ten yards downfield and the Bruins recover. Olson immediately goes deep and connects.
11:35/3rd: Olson makes UW pay for their error with a touchdown to Lewis, a huge target. Now
we'll see what the Huskies are made of. If they can come back after that and put points on the
board, they just might have something...starting at their own 35 because of the Bruins kicking it
out of bounds doesn't hurt their cause.
11:12/3rd: Rankin goes unconscious off-tackle. As he's going down the field and stopping
and starting, my only thought is, 'Please don't get hit from behind while carrying that think like
a loaf of bread!'. James adds 7 more on top of it.
9:13/3rd: Feel kind of bad for Lappano. He's hamstrung inside the red zone, not a ton of
options to go to. Good play call on the backside screen to Kirton, but the linemen just aren't out
there fast enough to make it work. The resulting miss by Knudson on a 28-yard field goal must feel
like one of those mules kicking him in the stomach back in North Carolina. The Huskies are playing
their guts out and just can't buy themselves a break.
8:04/3rd: The Dawgs got some help on a Marcus Everett drop on third down. Five more yards
backwards for the Bruins on a false start. The offense has to get this ball and drive the field.
They need to give the D a break and they need to re-establish the tone of the game. Marlon Wood
caught the punt, not a huge surprise there.
6:32/3rd: After a great catch by Craig Chambers for a first down, the Husky offensive
machine looked positively jumbled, having to call timeout after a myriad of moves from the
sideline. We'll see if taking a timeout this early comes back to haunt Willingham.
3:21/3rd: Kenny James running up the field with authority for 6! But now the dreaded
review. Funny thing is, the review should be moot because he crossed the plane the first time. If
they overturn this one, it's going to be as bad as the overturn the Pac-10 made on Reggie Bush's
catch in the first quarter of their game earlier today against Arizona State. The ruling was given
and it's totally different than any of us up here would have come up with. Amazing. But the bonus
is that UW still has the ball on the 1 and two downs to punch it in. UCLA just took a time out of
their own, and that's never a bad thing for UW.
3:18/3rd: Stanback calls his own number (as it should have been) and scores. The UCLA fans
are still livid at the review call. That drive was just what Dr. Willingham ordered - took up a
bunch of time, mixed the run and pass well, and finished with a touchdown. For the time being, the
Huskies have taken back the momentum of the game.
2:46/3rd: Hopoi goes limping off the field. Man, that kind of an ankle issue doesn't look
good. Lobos is in to shore things up. Looks like are back to their 'bend but don't break' ways...
C.J. Wallace is once again all over the field (like he has been all year).
End of Third Q: UCLA is starting to put things together. Lewis is such a good tight end,
surprised he only has five catches tonight. A pass interference call against UW has them backed
right up against the wall heading into the fourth quarter.
14:28/2nd: And all that investment pays off with a 20-yard Kenny James touchdown run around
end. Great to see the young man from Dos Palos bounce back from a shoulder injury. If early
returns are any indication, Washington feels like they can run against the Bruins. The Huskies
have thus far out-gained UCLA 144-16. It's as dominant a performance as the last time Washington
came down to the Rose Bowl. What happened in the second half of that game remains in the
'unmentionable' category for me, so I hope they can improve on 2003's effort.
13:24/2nd: The defense gets the Bruins right where they want them and then an old nemesis
creeps in. Well executed screen-play by UCLA moves them out of a hole. Is it going to be more of
'bend but don't break'?
9:57/2nd: A couple of first downs, but no damage done by the Bruins. Add to that a
flat-shank by the Bruin kicker, and the Rose Bowl is getting a little frosty.
9:42/2nd: Just when the forgotten man (James Sims) looks to have risen from the dead, a
fumble on a beautifully designed pass-and-run probably has the senior in the Dawghouse for a while
longer. The Huskies just aren't good enough to make mistakes and beat a top-20 team on the road.
8:05/2nd: Perhaps the Dawgs are starting to get good enough on defense to make their own
luck? Josh Okoebor with a pick on a serious hot potato has Washington's offense back in business.
Will Sims make another appearance? Hmmmm...maybe this will be one of those situations where the
coaches go back to him just to show they have confidence in him...
6:51/2nd: Interesting gamble by Willingham in picking up the punt and doing it again...got
the punt he wanted, just not the return. In all, the difference in the two plays was one yard.
6:18/2nd: Bruins take a page from Fisher DeBerry's playbook, go no-huddle.
5:04/2nd: UCLA just not finding much on offense, but they BURIED UW at their own 2 yard line
with a phenomenal punt. As bad as his last punt was, this punt was the total opposite.
3:11/2nd: Stanback just found a UCLA lineman he needs to add to his Christmas card list,
because that pass he threw up deep in his own end was an absolute GIFT! Not sure what Lappano was
looking at when he made that call. And the resulting touchdown by Drew on a punt return nullified
by a block in the back feels more Husky-like than Bruin-like.
1:55/2nd: Both teams are kind of stinking it up, not playing very crisp ball.
1:37/2nd: The Huskies make another play, tipping an Olson pass and Lobendahn catches it like
a fly ball. The boo birds are starting to perch around the Rose Bowl.
:59/2nd: Stanback is making GREAT decisions right now. Corey Williams is becoming known
more for his drops than his catches early on in 2005. That pass from Isaiah was a bullet right on
the money. As a receiver you can't ask for anything more than that. That could be the play that takes points off the board before half.
:31/2nd: Not sure why they even tried a 55-yarder for Knudson, that kick was not close. If Williams catches that pass, it's an easy attempt. As it stands, the Bruins take a knee and the UCLA fans are disgusted. I doubt Willingham could have drawn up a better half of football for his guys, except for more points. They could always use more points.
40:00 before kickoff: Baba O'Reilly blaring in the Rose Bowl as both teams
stretch...glorious night weather-wise, except for the fires - you can definitely smell them.
23:00 before kickoff: Hasty getting his first look in the purple and gold? He's getting
some carries during pre-game. Also, sounds like Matt Fountaine is going to give his bruised
sternum a go. Hopefully he'll make it through unscathed.
10:00 before kickoff: Just looking at some of the scores, the biggest one that jumps out is
Florida-Alabama. What a pasting. Next in line is Notre Dame-Purdue. Charlie Weis is for real,
any questions? Next is the Colorado-Oklahoma State score. 34-0 Buffs? Barnett's teams have
always been good, but that score is out of hand. Gundy has his work cut out for him in Stillwater.
3:00 before kickoff: The Bruins come out of their tunnel with VanHagar blaring. I can't say
too much about Husky Stadium feeling empty because there are whole sections of the Rose Bowl
completely vacant. Watching Hasty sprint out of their tunnel, you have to think he's going to get
some carries. Sampson is wearing #35.
Kickoff: Washington wins the toss and elects to take the ball. Willingham is making an
early statement with that kind of trust in his offense in a hostile situation. 'Welcome to the
Jungle' is now the music of choice.
12:37/1st: Off-setting penalties negate a huge play by Shackelford. Just another example of
Washington really hurting itself with mistakes.
11:33/1st: It's pretty apparent with the first punt of the evening that Bob Simmons wants
nothing to do with Maurice Drew. A good kick by Sean Douglas downed inside UCLA's 20.
10:12/1st: Very nice defensive sequence to begin with. The Bruins have a lot of success
with their stretch running plays and zone blocking, something UW will have to find an answer for.
8:26/1st: Nice to see some more variety from Lappano...stretch option with Stanback keeping
- very nice. And then Isaiah launches a bullet to Russo downfield.
6:45/1st: Knudson's 36-yarder is good, but roughing call. Take the points off the board?
This early, you'd think it's a no-brainer and Willingham agrees. Now the Huskies have
first-and-goal inside the 10.
5:00/1st: Three plays later, including a great individual effort from Stanback on a designed
keeper, and the Dawgs are just outside the one and pondering their options. Taking the points here
would be the smart move and they need some good things to happen for them on the road early to set
a positive tempo, but they are 1-3! Go for it Tyrone! He doesn't, and the 18-yarder is good. The
biggest plus out of taking the points off the board the first time was the two-minutes-plus UCLA's
offense WASN'T on the field.
4:02/1st: A great 3-and-out for the UW defense. The front guys aren't getting a ton of
pressure on Olson, but he does not seem settled at all and the Huskies are in all the right places
so far. Whoever is returning punts (Russo) HAS TO CATCH THEM!
:58/1st: I hate to say this (jinx!), but Washington is totally controlling the tempo of this
game so far. UCLA's offense is nowhere to be seen and Stanback is running the offense cooly and
confidently ala Air Force. Now they just need to see some points on the board for their efforts.

An Evening with YES
An Evening with YES
YES, the iconic British progressive rock band from the 1970s, comes to The Mahaffey Theater for its 2014 summer tour. They will perform their first two classic albums in their entirety and more.
It will be a first-time ever event when YES performs every song on Fragile, the 1971 groundbreaking album followed by a run-through of 1972's Close to the Edge and an encore of the band's greatest hits.
During the night's encore, the group – bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer Jon Davison – will offer a sneak listen and perform material from their upcoming July 8 release Heaven and Earth.
Chris Squire and Jon Anderson founded YES in 1968 and created some of the most important and influential music in rock history. Fragile, which sold more than two million copies, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Album charts in the United States. Close to the Edge, a gold-certified album, charted in the U.S. for 32 week, peaking at No. 3. It was named one of the "100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time" by Guitar World in 2006 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest progressive rock albums ever recorded.
YES has sold more than 50 million records during its 46-year career. Iconic songs include "Roundabout," "Close to the Edge," "I've Seen All Good People" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart."

We are really happy to announce Petra Collins as our next participant for "Milk & Oysters," our upcoming photo show at Ed.Varie, opening December 2014.
We interviewed her earlier this year to discuss sexual growth and provocation. Jody Rogac took memorable portraits that captured her nonchalant elegance and her "teenage gaze." At only twenty-two years old, Petra is a about to become the world's muse.
If she has that dreamy essence, she is also very active. She curates The Ardorous, "a collective of female creative professionals – all full of ardor but each with a unique artistic style and voice." Also a model and an artist, Petra advocates for female representation.
We can't wait to get a hold on her new book "Discharge" - that gathers photos from her previous show at Capricious 88.

Research Institution
AbstractWhile radiation shielding primarily depends on mass density and thickness, NanoSonic has physically demonstrated 1) self-assembled SMART garments based on high z nanostructured elements that do not emit harmful secondary radiation, and 2) significant improvements in gamma ray attenuation (under 137Cs) relative to several commercial shielding garments to reach TRL 5. During Phase I of this DARPA DSO program, NanoSonic has modeled and synthetically engineered flexible, radioprotective garments using an elegant, layer-by-layer, design to yield Thoraeus-like filter architectures with well defined gradients of multiple high z elements. The shape memory polymer (SMP) constituent within the textiles mitigates cracking to prevent harmful energy foraging apertures and exhibits durable radiation resistance upon reconfiguration; a property that few, if any, flexible materials exhibit. Active breathability has also been demonstrated via introduction of tailored size nanopores within the thermoresponsive SMP. NanoSonic shall optimize our microbe growth inhibiting, comfortable, radioprotective SMART Garments to reach TRL 8 at the conclusion of the Phase II program with assistance from our radiation analysis and defense prime partners. TRL 9 shall be reached upon transition to the field into for use in Hazmat and U.S. Army Special Forces Suits such as the Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST).

In the end, La Plaza juniors baseball simply ran out of at-bats.
North Valley's All-stars edged La Plaza 5-4 In the playback bracket Saturday night in Carlsbad, eliminating the Las Vegas-based team from the state tournament. La Plaza provided fans with plenty of edge-of-the-seat excitement through much of its run through the tournament.
Friday, the team edged Roadrunner 2-1 to advance to the semifinals. But a loss to the hometown Shorthorn on Saturday evening forced La Plaza to play immediately thereafter in an elimination game.

Opportunities to contribute to your community: The registration form includes a place to donate to our charity partners.
Please consider a donation to our friends at Network Exchange Club and the E.S.C.A.P.E. Child Abuse Prevention Program. Donate online or bring a cash donation, as they will be serving hot chocolate. You can read more about them here: http://exchangeclubsofsalemor.org/

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is the new name for the base Shovel Knight game. It will get all future updates and content for free just like before.
It will launch first on the Switch, during the systems launch window, and on all other platforms in April 2017. All owners of the previous version, across all platforms, will be upgraded to the new version of the game for free.
The player controls the wizard Illuminar who attempts to grow an army of trees to attack Tetragorn the Necromancer and his evil minions who are attempting to take over a graveyard. The game is an arcade action title, but is unusual in that there are three distinct segments of gameplay, each of which affects the one following it.
In the first segment, Illuminar stands fixed in the middle of the screen. Moving the joystick controls his "wisp", a magical boomerang-like device. Pressing the fire button plants a seed that will slowly grow into a tree in several stages to adulthood. Ogres appear from both sides of the screen, walking across it horizontally. If they walk over an immature tree, the tree shrinks back one stage of growth, eventually disappearing. Spiders periodically appear and move randomly about the screen. If they move over a fully grown tree it becomes poisoned, and will eventually die. Both enemies can be vanquished by touching them with the wisp, which will also cure poisoned trees. Eye-Pods containing additional seeds periodically appear and can be picked up with the wisp. The speed of the action increases continually through the level until it becomes quite hectic at the end.
Every tree that survives the first level becomes Illuminar's ally in the second. Here the player enters a five-level side-view map of a crypt filled with spider eggs. Using the wisp, the player selects trees and moves them over the coffins where their roots grow into the roof of the coffins and eventually break through to crush the eggs lying below. If they take too long, the spider will hatch and attack the trees until the wisp kills them. Periodically the Hands of Fate descend from the roof, picking up anything below them and sometimes dropping prizes. The player must move through the crypt while all of this takes place, capturing question-mark prizes in order to extend ladders needed to reach lower levels. On this level, moving the joystick normally moves Illuminar, but holding down the fire button freezes him in place and moves the wisp instead.
The final confrontation between Illuminar and Tetragorn takes place in a graveyard. Gravestones appear that must be destroyed by walking over them in order to prevent Tetragorn from appearing. When he does - and there are always enough gravestones to ensure this - he shoots off trails of fire that injure Illuminar as he moves about. Any spider eggs that were not destroyed in the crypt also turn into spiders that attack Illuminar. The wisp can be used to banish either enemy, although while it is in use, Illuminar remains fixed in place.
Each hit by any enemy on Illuminar reduces his power and eventually kills him, although the periodic appearance of small rings of power will improve his life power again.
Rise & Shine
Rise is a small kid of Gamearth, the world where the classic videogame characters live. He finds himself lost in the middle of a war against the Space Grunts, the bald muscular soldiers with big guns that just invaded his world. Only with the help of the legendary gun, Shine, he'll be able to stay alive and just maybe, incredibly, save his planet from the invaders.
The game mixes pure shooting arcade with the use of different bullets to solve all the situations Rise will find on his path. Think of a more arcadey Another World, also with a very tight relationship between gameplay and story.

Women Employed is smart, focused, and effective, and is making a real difference particularly in the lives of low-wage working women
WE has truly been an inspiration ever since I was first introduced to the organization in 2012 by another single mom/ friend! Over the past couple of years, I have eagerly shared WE's info & messages concerning wage equality, support for the Non-Traditional student, availability & the options surrounding financial aid, and the importance of women voting. I urge others (like us) to do the same!
I serve on the marketing committee for Women Employed and am truly honored to be a part of this great mission. WE is working hard to advance the lives of all women, and especially women working in low-wage jobs. It takes a clear vision of a better future, smart leadership, and a consistent, fresh message to remain relevant in a saturated marketplace. WE has all of these - as well as the history and savvy to rise above the fray and remain a critically important advocate for this segment of the workforce.
Very proud to be a part of this amazing organization that focuses on building the best workplace and work environment for women. Excited to share my marketing and communications expertise with everyone going forward!
I've been a member of Women Employed for over 7 years and have contributed to their Marketing Committee for most of that time. Women Employed is a highly effective organization focused on equal opportunity in employment and education for women. The staff are very professional and they are quite efficient and effective in their efforts. Their efforts have improved the working conditions for women for over 40 years--they deserve the highest marks
Fabulous organization that works to improve the opportunities and working conditions for low-wage working women!
Women Employed tackles the root causes of the issues facing women today. By mobilizing women to make a difference in the policies that impact all women's ability to attain a high quality, affordable education and advance in their careers, Women Employed is laying the groundwork for generations to come. On behalf of my own two little girls, I'm incredibly grateful for the work Women Employed engages in every day!
From helping make sexual harassment illegal in the 70s to helping pass the Pregnancy Fairness Act just four months ago, WE does not settle! It's laser focus on working women's issues is why I have been volunteering with WE for nearly 10 years.
I am a former Board member of Women Employed and can testify to the dedication, expertise, and compassion that Women Employed brings to its mission of serving working women. The lives of women nationwide have been improved because of Women Employed's efforts. From strengthening EEO enforcement to advocating for educational opportunities to providing sound, real-world advice to women on legal and career issues, Women Employed is a champion for women. And by benefiting women, WE benefits families and society as a whole.
I am proud to have been a volunteer, on the board and now a supporter as a general member of the public. Hooray for Women Employed!
From my perspective as a volunteer member of the WE Advocacy Council, Women Employed is an organization filled with people who are deeply committed to their mission and values -- to diligently advocate on behalf of women in low-wage employment to improve labor conditions and opportunities. I always feel energized and more informed after WE events. The organization has also proven nimble over the years, adapting its central issues to meet the changing needs of women in the low-wage sector in order to address the social, political, and economic realities of the historical moment (although of course, many of the same issues persist, as well).

Domestic Violence
Also called: Battery, Partner abuse, Spousal abuse
Domestic violence is a type of abuse. It usually involves a spouse or partner, but it can also be a child, elderly relative, or other family member.
Domestic violence may include
- Physical violence that can lead to injuries such as bruises or broken bones
- Sexual violence
- Threats of physical or sexual violence
- Emotional abuse that may lead to depression, anxiety, or social isolation
It is hard to know exactly how common domestic violence is, because people often don't report it. There is no typical victim. It happens among people of all ages. It affects those of all levels of income and education.
The first step in getting help is to tell someone you trust.

Postpartum Care
Also called: Post-pregnancy health
Taking home a new baby is one of the happiest times in a woman's life. But it also presents both physical and emotional challenges.
- Get as much rest as possible. You may find that all you can do is eat, sleep, and care for your baby. And that is perfectly okay. You will have spotting or bleeding, like a menstrual period, off and on for up to six weeks.
- You might also have swelling in your legs and feet, feel constipated, have menstrual-like cramping. Even if you are not breastfeeding, you can have milk leaking from your nipples, and your breasts might feel full, tender, or uncomfortable.
- Follow your doctor's instructions on how much activity, like climbing stairs or walking, you can do for the next few weeks.
- Doctors usually recommend that you abstain from sexual intercourse for four to six weeks after birth.
In addition to physical changes, you may feel sad or have the "baby blues." If you are extremely sad or are unable to care for yourself or your baby, you might have a serious condition called postpartum depression.

The ABS is a brake system which controls the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure of all four wheels during sudden braking and braking on slippery road surfaces, prevent the wheels from locking. This ABS provides the following benefits:
- Enables steering round an obstacle with a greater degree of certainty even when panic braking.
- Enables stopping in a panic brake while keeping effect upon stability and steerability to a minimum, even on curves.
The function of the ABS is to help maintain directional stability and vehicle steerabilty on most road surface conditions. However, the system cannot prevent the vehicle from skidding if the cornering speed limit is exceeded.
The ABS has a longitudinal sensor to match braking characteristics to the full-time four wheel drive on 4WD models.
In case a malfunction occurs, a diagnosis function and fail-safe system have been adopted for the ABS to increase serviceability.

2003 Porsche Boxster - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Fun, but costly...
By tice75 on
Vehicle2003 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 5M)
ReviewI was fortunate enough to own this vehicle for about 18 months. I bought it in 2007 with 5500 miles on it and put close to 20k on it in the year and a half that I owned it. It was near new! This car is incredibly fun to drive and the pick up is amazing. Being 6'4" tall, I was reasonably comfortable, but on long trips, a good stretch after a couple of hours is helpful. My overall ownership experience was OK, but it was rather expensive to own. I probably wouldn't buy another Porsche again.
Best FeaturesThe looks, the power, the quickness, the convertible top! I opted for this year because in 2003, the back window was glass instead of plastic.
Worst FeaturesThis is the part that makes owning a vehicle like this painful. Little things that go wrong and break are extremely costly! Fortunately I had an ext. warranty most of the time that I owned it, but buyer beware! You'll spend a minimum of $300 every time you take it in... but it's a Porsche, right?

Sirona Dental fiscal 3Q profit more than doubles
LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. (AP) — Sirona Dental Systems Inc. said Friday its fiscal third-quarter earnings more than doubled, as the company saw strong sales growth in Germany and the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets.
The Long Island City, N.Y., company earned $36.3 million, or 63 cents per share, in the three months that ended June 30. That's up from earnings of $16.6 million, or 29 cents per share, in the same quarter last year, when losses on foreign currency transactions and derivative investments affected performance.
Adjusted earnings in this year's quarter, which exclude some amortization and depreciation expenses and other one-time items, were 78 cents per share.
Revenue grew 34 percent, or 24 percent on a constant-currency basis, to $244.7 million.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected, on average, earnings of 72 cents per share on $217.8 million in revenue. Analysts typically exclude one-time items from their estimates.
Sirona said U.S. revenue rose 12 percent, while sales outside the United States increased 46 percent, or 30 percent on a constant-currency basis. Chairman and CEO Jost Fischer said in a statement from the company the business benefited in part from "robust" order levels at the International Dental Show.
The company also said its cost of sales climbed 34 percent to $117.8 million, and selling, general and administrative costs rose 25 percent to $68.5 million.
Sirona Dental shares rose 2.3 percent, or $1.08, to $47.52 at the start of trading, as broader indexes also climbed about a percent.

Danity Kane
La agrupación Danity Kane reapareció en la celebración de los MTV Video Music Awards 2013 que se llevaron a cabo en Nueva York.
Shannon Bex, Andrea Fimbres, Aubrey O'Day y Dawn Richards posaron para los fotógrafos afuera del Barclays Center en Brooklyn.
With a hit album released earlier this year (Welcome to the Dollhouse), Danity Kane is on top of their game. And last night, they showed up at the season finale of "Making the Band 4."
Aubrey O'Day, D. Woods, Aundrea Fimbres, Dawn Richard, and Shannon Bex were all spotted at MTV's New York City Studios looking fabulous as they posed for the paparazzi.
A big ado out on the West coast, 102.7 KIIS-FM's Wango Tango drew out celebs including guest host Lindsay Lohan and reality TV star Kim Kardashian on Saturday (May 10).
LiLo playfully interacted with the crowd throughout the day, while Kim took the stage surrounded by her family, including sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
Justin Timberlake threw what many are reporting as a "killer bash". The event was held at Avalon in Hollywood on the night of Friday February 9th.
Making it even more interesting, Kevin Federline was not only in the audience, but he and Timberlake actually crossed paths. According to insiders from E! Online, the two bumped into each other on the red carpet. Apparently, the two former flames of Britney Spears didn't have much to say to each other, seeing that they only managed a quick hello on the carpet.
Perhaps Timberlake was rushing to see Scarlett Johansson, who was in attendance for the evening. Meanwhile, to Justin's relief, Jessica Biel was nowhere to be seen. Imagine how awkward that situation could have been. Unfortunately for Justin, it is bound to happen sometime sooner or later.
Christina Aguilera's 2007 World Tour dates are set and tickets go on sale this weekend! The U.S. leg of her tour will feature the Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane as opening acts. This is going to be hot hot hot! Expect tickets to sell out quickly, so get yours now.
Christina says, "It is the most incredible inspired show I have ever put on. I am just ready to give the world the new look, the new element... everything. I'm so excited."
Her show will be a circus theme complete with acrobats. I don't know about you but I am definitely going to this concert!!!!!!!!

Bad Boy Records' red-hot girl group Danity Kane, stars of the hit MTV series "Making the Band 3," have exploded at retail outlets nationwide with their debut album, "DANITY KANE." The multi-talented quintet is the music industry's newest Cinderella story, as Danity Kane is now neck and neck with veterans OutKast and Christina Aguilera for the top spot on next week's national album chart. Danity Kane's first-week sales triumph is unprecedented for a new artist with little radio or video airplay.
Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs commented: "Many people wrote off these girls as just a 'made-for-TV' group, but I believed in their talent from the beginning. The fans have spoken, and with their love and support, Danity Kane's dream is coming true. Sometimes word of mouth is better than radio and video play. This is the best kind of success, one that comes straight from the people."

For the second time in about a year, county officials are searching for a new director for Lancaster County's Emergency Medical Services.
Rob Petrucci, who served as EMS director for about eight months, is no longer a Lancaster County employee, County Administrator Steve Willis said Wednesday. While he wouldn't comment on Petrucci's departure, he said the decision was made this week.

An Indian Land business owner said she's stepped away from managing her two businesses so she can focus on running for office. She hopes to represent Fort Mill in the newly created S.C. House District 26.
Raye Felder, longtime owner of Allstate insurance agencies in Fort Mill and Indian Land, announced her intention last month to pursue the new seat as a Republican.
Felder, a Fort Mill resident, said she has since sold her managing interest in the agencies so she can concentrate on the race.

Michael Oliver says his love for law enforcement was ignited during his years as a teenager in Lancaster. Yet his most recent promotion is something he never imagined would happen.
Oliver is the new commander of the S.C. Highway Patrol. He was named to the post last month by Leroy Smith, director of the S.C. Department of Public Safety.
He succeeds Kenny Lancaster, a fellow Lancaster native who retired in November.

What began as a simple solution for relocating the county's Emergency Operations Center has turned into a lengthy and costly process for county officials.
At its recent meeting, Lancaster County Council approved funding an additional $140,000 for repairs and additions to the former Founders Federal Credit Union building at White and Covenant streets. The vote was 6-0. Councilman Larry McCullough was not present.

As Barry Ritholtz once said, Carl Richards "has a wicked way with a Sharpie." Armed with nothing more than a Sharpie marker and an equally penetrating mind, Carl has the ability to boil down complex financial issues into simple drawings. Carl has made an art of illustrating simply elegant charts & venn diagrams to communicate like no one before. And with his talent he's sketched his way to become one of America's leading financial planners.
His work at Behavior Gap is often highlighted in the New York Times where he is a frequent contributor to the Bucks Blog. And through his body of work Carl frequently reminds us that most of the work resides inside of each one of us.
In his latest book (currently #9 on Amazon's personal finance reading list), he tells the tale of his personal mistakes with money and shows the rest of us ways to avoid making other common money mistakes.
"It's not that we're dumb. We're wired to avoid pain and pursue pleasure and security. It feels right to sell when everyone around us is scared and buy when everyone feels great. It may feel right—but it's not rational."
Carl wrote a fantastic piece about complexity in the financial services industry that I don't think got enough attention, so I asked my good friend if I could share it with you. He's said he's delighted, and so am I — that he said yes. So, today I hope you gain some insights from what Carl's about to share here.
Seduced By Complexity
Advisors propose complex solutions that raise more questions, making people feel like they've opened a Pandora's box. But why?
By Carl Richards, CFP
Making smart decisions about money is rarely easy. It's why people look to advisors in the first place. But often we as an industry make things worse. Instead of making things simpler, we propose complex solutions that raise more questions, making people feel like they've opened a Pandora's box. But why?
The financial-services industry uses complexity as a sales tool. Like other sales-oriented industries, it uses the tactic of creating a problem, then providing the solution. To that end, the industry has identified as its main value proposition access to information and transactions, then presents this access as the solution to clients' money questions. Think back to the early 1990s, before the Internet. It was a challenge to get basic information like a stock quote and almost impossible for people to calculate how their investment accounts had done at any of the major brokerage firms. The financial-services firms were the gatekeepers to information, and they'd set themselves up as the interpreters of that information.
Often, we think that if we have a complex problem, the solution should be complex, too. Some people in professional service industries view complexity as some sort of intellectual gift. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity." To Holmes' point, the goal isn't to search for the simplistic answers but instead to avoid being seduced by the idea of complexity. For too long, we've been accustomed to the idea that financial products, financial plans, and investments need to be complex in order to be effective. So, we start to reject some of the simple, basic concepts that will actually be far more effective in helping people make smart decisions about money.
This isn't the first time I've talked about the value of financial advice that is simple, but not easy. However, I've noticed that despite claiming the goal of simplifying people's lives, we sometimes are scared that people won't value and pay for that type of advice. It reminds me of the person who goes to the doctor expecting to get a pill for high cholesterol and the doctor instead recommends a change in diet and exercise. It may seem like the pill is the simpler solution, but have you listened to or read the disclaimers that appear on all those ads? Pills are not without potential side effects, but exercise and diet? They're the simple, but not easy, solution to the problem.
The same logic applies to good financial advice. Often the very things that will make the biggest impact on our clients' financial lives are simple, but not easy. Saving more, spending less, even asking for simpler solutions are all things we can do. But we often pass them by because we've bought into the idea that our value hangs on being the gatekeeper to the complex. But complexity isn't the silver bullet to financial questions. Isn't it time we help people discover the simplicity on the other side of complexity?
I couldn't agree more, thanks Carl!

Archaeologist of Traditions
In his celebrated photographic series such as Tatoo (1994), and Rainbow (1994), Good (1997), Intersection (2000) or Group Photo (2007) he showed how people, as physical beings, are formed by external forces and social conditions. In Public Space (1994) he thematized the issue of our sense of shame by displaying a public toilet behind a glass screen. The exploration of physicality motivated Qui, together with Wu Meichun, to curate the exhibition titled Post-Sense Sensibility: Alien Bodies (1999). As a result of their radical challenge to human representation, the exhibition became a milestone in the history of China´s independent art scene. With the subsequent project Delusion and Post-Sense Sensibility: Spree (2000), they developed a live artwork in which, as a result of their locking the exhibition room doors, the audience becomes an unwilling component in an excessive performance including animal heads on silver platters and artificial blood. The reaction of the audience is projected live onto a screen so that they become an irretrievable part and co-producers of the piece.
Qiu, who has kept abreast of contemporary Western discourse since his youth, began returning to traditional Chinese art at the end of the 1990s. By combining the past with the present, he developed further techniques: Step by step I abandoned my designs on macro-cultural interpretation and attempted to use my own work as a field in which to actively engage in micro-cultural experiences. Out of this I began to narrate micro-histories, to engage with specific spaces, to grow interested in particular encounters and memories, surface, colors and shapes.
In this way, he uses the art of calligraphy as a secret weapon as in Copying a Thousand Times the Preface to the Gathering at Orchid Pavilion (1990-1995) where he copied calligraphy from the 4th century until the paper was completely black. In Ten Tang Poems (2001) he also drew on the ancient poetic techniques of the Tang Dynasty. The video that portrays the poetic writing process runs in reverse. Here too, he works with dissolution: The poems literally vanish into nothingness.
Alongside solo exhibitions in Shanghai Zendai Museum of Art, the Moscow Biennale (2005) and the São Paulo Biennale (2002), Qiu was also represented in the Chinese Pavilion in Venice in 2009. His examination of the Nanjing Yangtze Bridge in the multi-part exhibition Twilight of the Idols (2009) at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt is part of his preoccupation with the disintegration of the great narrative as well as the juxtaposition of history and the present: There are a number of images and these images link historical memory at one end and the present-day happening at the other. By picking up on the ambivalent history of this bridge, which is at the same time a Maoist landmark and the location of countless suicides, Qiu subtly thematizes the consequences of China´s modernization process.

The implementation of College and Career Ready Standards in DoDEA preschool learning environments is addressed through the use of the Teaching Strategies GOLD® Objectives for Development & Learning 1. These objectives are predictive of children's school success and align to the DoDEA College and Career Ready Standards grades K-12. The research behind each objective offers concrete evidence that each one contributes to children's learning and development. This provides a solid foundation of college and career readiness for DoDEA's youngest learners.

The Raid is one of those films I don't see myself tiring of watching anytime soon. It is a self-contained Beat 'Em Up that is all kinds of unrelenting with the drama and numerous kicks to the head over the course of its more than adequate 101 minute run time. To say that it is groundbreaking in its storytelling is a huge overstatement, but for its high octane thrills, complete lack of cgi (which has become a staple over the last decade in action films), and a lead character we the viewer genuinely root for, The Raid is correctly pitched as one of the best action films to hit cinemas in the last decade. I really cannot recommend it enough, and I honestly believe it is a travesty that it is being remade for US audiences because most of the English speaking population refuse to read subtitles.
Last year's shameful attempt at reworking a classic by director Spike Lee is the most recent example of the #bastardization of foreign classics. Fans of Oldboy (Park Chan-wook's 2003 'iconic' revenge thriller) will no doubt agree that Lee's US remake with John Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen was a complete waste of time. The fact that it fell way short of recouping its $30,000,000 budget at the box office ($4,861,022 is its worldwide take) should be proof alone to producers and investors that remaking foreign films rarely benefits their bank balance. But still the #bastardization of cinema continues.
So what of The Raid 2: Berandal which picks up immediately after the events of the first film and sees rookie Jakarta cop Rama having to deal with the consequences of his actions after fighting his way out of a building filled with low-level gangsters and madmen? I guess the first question we have to ask is; Are we looking at a far superior film to the first on every level? The answer without any hesitation is, FUCK YES.
Whilst the first Raid was on lockdown, confining the action to one building. Berandal takes the fight into the City and ups the ante tenfold to give us some truly epic prison brawls, nightclub battles, ridiculous car chases, kitchen mishaps, a boy who kills his enemies with a baseball bat (not to be outdone by his mute sister who kills her enemies with hammers), a karaoke party gone wrong, and one returning actor from the first film that I was totally psyched to see playing a different character this second time around.
I don't really want to say much more about Berandal as I would have hated for anyone to spoil the film for me being such a fan of the first. But it's important to let you know that the storyline matches the action all the way over 2 hours and 28 minutes, providing many a tense moment before fists fly and goons lose their heads in spectacular fashion.
As you can appreciate, there wasn't much time in the first film for Rama to make a cuppa and break open a Kit Kat, let alone hold a conversation with someone for more than five minutes. But after you watch Berandal you will realise that the lack of storyline in the first film completely served Rama's naivety. You really need to pay attention to the storyline in this one or you might miss something uber important.
For those of you reading who might take issue with subtitles (and I don't imagine there are many of you, tsk tsk), one reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes said the following about the film; "It really doesn't matter what language the actors are speaking. Great action has, and will always be, universally spoken." Here! Here!
But seriously now, there's a mute girl in this film who kills goons with hammers! Why wouldn't you? "Stop! Hammer Time!"

I recently got saline under the muscle implants a few days ago. I like them. I chose saline so I could get the scarless breast augmentation via TUBA. I scar easily and I did not want any new scars. Anyway, I have a birth mark at the upper part of my boob. I want to get a small butterfly tattoo over it. But, will the tattoo needle cause the implant to develop a hole and deflate? Maybe I am being paranoid but better safe than sorry. Thanks!
Will Getting a Breast Tattoo Cause my Saline Implants to Deflate?
Doctor Answers 12
The act of placing a tattoo will not damage the implant.
Placement of a tattoo will not damage the breast implant unless the person placing the tattoo is drunk or out of his mind on drugs.

Tattoo After Breast Augmentation
If done by a professional tattoo artist, it should be fine I get a tattoo on your breast. The tattoo needle does not go very deep in the skin, so the implant will not be at risk. Before covering a birthmark with ink, I would recommend that you have the spot evaluated by a Dermatologist.
Will be ok
Tattoo should not cause your saline implants to deflate since the needle is small and only the deep layer of the dermis is penetrated. This means the needle is only introduced about 1-2 mm deep. What is more important may be to be placed on an antibiotic for a couple of days to prevent a capsular contracture which may be caused from a low grade localized infection. Any patient of mine who considers getting a tattoo or piercing, I regularly place them on a five day course of antibiotics.
Best of luck.

Not if tattoo artist knows what they are doing
As always, ask your surgeon first for his/her opinion, but a properly done professional tattoo should not deflate an implant.
Tattoo Will Not Deflate Saline Implants
Assuming that you are using a professional tattoo artist, you needn't woory about the tattooing causing a deflation of your implants. The tattoo pigment is placed in the skin which is far from your implants, especially if they are submuscular.

Tattoo rupture a saline implant?
Thank you for your question. No, getting a tattoo will not jeopardize your implants. The ink is placed within the skin and the needle never goes below this. It would be nearly impossible to pop the implant.
Best of luck.
Tattoo after a breast augmentation no risk of rupture
A tattoo only goes into the superficial dermis and will have not effect on your implants. The tattoo should be just fine.
Breast Implants and Tattooing
A tattoo needle will not go below the level of the skin while your breast implants are much deeper. So you are perfectly safe to get a tattoo on the breast with breast implants.
