Not all authors could balance their writing with four jobs and a thirst for lifelong learning, but Angela Anderson does just that. Type A (for awesome), creative and emotional, she has a non-traditional, multifaceted career that includes planning and designing events, teaching, marketing, and seeing the world from behind a video camera lens.
With a reputation for being "the quirky one", she has a collection of skull memorabilia and a love for motorcycles, cupcakes, hip hop music and all things pretty.
Passionate about youth, the former high school teacher now volunteers as a Big Sister and spent past summers helping underprivileged children at a non-profit summer camp.
Angela was also the 2007 Canadian Adult National Champion in figure skating and currently teaches children as young as two years old how to find joy on the ice.
According to elementary school report cards, she was a child with an "active imagination" and had very strong creative writing skills, often amusing both classmates and teachers with elaborate stories. High school brought out the dreamy, thoughtful poet which led to being recognized by the community and awarded a creative writing scholarship. Now, with a B.A. (honors, English/Music), B.Ed. and a whole lot of worldly experience, her writing emphasizes wit and light action geared towards keeping youth interested in literature and most importantly, turning pages.

This was an enjoyable modern day fairy tale with all the components of all the traditional fairy tales mixed in as well as some vampires! For such a mix it works very well!! I'm just waiting for the sequel as this was a cliffhanger. You are far enough into the story that you're thinking; "Wow! Now what?" when you find yourself at the end!! Hope Ms. Anderson is busy writing either the continuing story or the seqeul as I write this!!!

Free Ammonia Inhibition of Nitrification in River Sediments Leading to Nitrite Accumulation

Science; Dep. Biometrics, The Queen's University of Belfast. Abstract
Previous studies have reporled that only 40% of nitrite (NO−2) in major rivers in Northern Ireland originates from land drainage. The remainder appears to originale from N transformations at the interface between sediment and water within river systems. Streams in two major river catchments in Northern Ireland were monitored for the presence of NO−2. Mean NO2 concentrations (which all exceeded 3.0 µg N L−1 which is the European Community (EC) guide values for supporting salmonid fish) ranged from 3.8 to 84.5 µg N L−1 in 14 streams in the Upper Bann and 10.7 to 60.0 µg N L−1 in 14 streams in the Colebrooke river system. Evidence from multiple regression analysis suggested that NO2 accumulation in these streams was associated with the presence of free NH3. Incubation and differential 15N labeling of sediment extracts with ammonium nitrale (NH4NO3) provided support for this hypothesis that showed that the mechanistic process involved in NO−2 accumulation is nitrification inhibition rather than denitrification. Free NH3 partially inhibils NO−2 oxidation by Nitrobacter, but does not inhibit the oxidation of ammonium (NH+4) by Nitrosomonas. Most of the NH+4 in streams originates from pollution by agricultural effluents and must be curtailed to prevent NO−2 accumulation.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

The Challenger 605, announced this afternoon, will feature upgrades in the cockpit and cabin over the Challenger 604, which will be replaced following expected certification of the 605 in the fourth quarter of next year. In the cockpit, a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite will replace the Pro Line 4. Cabin improvements include LED lighting and more storage capacity, as well as new galley and lavatory configurations. Despite the changes, Bombardier claims there will be no difference between the 604's and 605's basic operating weight or performance. Bombardier said the telltale difference between the two aircraft exteriors is the cone-shaped aft fuselage on the Challenger 605.

At the turn of the century, questions about multinational firms' strategies as regards the forces, on the one hand, of globalization and, on the other hand, of the regional and local dimensions are very much to the fore. What are the new constraints and the new theories to explain global-local multinationals' strategies at the beginning of this new era?
Understanding multinationals' strategies is an essential task, but the range of strategies is not simple or homogenous; they are increasingly complex, the outcomes of different logics and different choices. Since the 1980s, new economic areas have been created- the EU, MERCOSUR, ASEAN, NAFTA – there has also been the integration of Eastern European countries following the lifting of the iron curtain. A real movement of regional integration has been witnessed in these areas, which has modified firms' strategies. But simultaneously there has been another factor: the global or regional dimension is one determinant, but there is also the local dimension, for example in production siting.
This volume presents the work of internationally renowned specialists on multinational strategy, addressing the main questions about globalization, firms' and countries' competitiveness, the impact of regionalism, agglomeration and industrial clustering, oligopolistic interactions, mode of entry, strategic location choice and relocation and public aid. This book is the first volume presenting the outstanding work from the Seventh Sorbonne International Conference on Multinational Firms' Strategies.

Fewer than 600 hooded plovers are left in Victoria, yet dogs are still allowed on the beach in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, where the birds breed. Furthermore, owners frequently let their dogs off their leads, which is not allowed. Dogs have been seen to run down and kill chicks.

Seriously, it was the hardest game I've played in my whole LoL life, and it's a shame that I sucked in it.
I still don't understand why people say that smurfing does not enhance your skills, when your opponents are obviously a stronger smurf than you. Everyone doesn't have flash, so it takes actual skills to secure kills or escape.

Free White Paper for Attendees
Attendees will receive a copy of this new white paper:
How to do Copywriting and Marketing for Technical Lead Generation Campaigns.
Post-Luncheon Workshops
Following the luncheon we will be offering two fabulous workshops in partnership with the Online Marketing Institute. You can take the workshops ala carte, or as part of a certificate in online marketing. They are practical and tactical, with step-by-step instruction and integrated case studies.
2:15 ‒ 4:15 PM, Demand Generation and Lead Conversion Fundamentals
Instructor: Laurie Beasley, President, Beasley Direct Marketing
The pressure for B2B marketers is on. Modern B2B buyers have an increasing tendency and capacity to research purchasing decisions online long before they engage with Sales. They are empowered with information, and winning over modern B2B buyers requires organizations to revolutionize their marketing approach. To compound the problem, Sales teams demand higher quality "sales-ready" leads to hit their numbers. This course takes a fresh approach to demand generation, by helping you set goals with the Sales department, manage the touch points for lead qualification and optimize your communication channels for maximum success.
4:30 ‒ 6:30 PM, Advanced Demand Generation and Lead Conversion
Instructor: Laurie Beasley, President, Beasley Direct Marketing
In this session, we'll look at how to make a comprehensive demand generation go-to-market plan; how the buying committee is changing marketing, and how to segment your lists and messages to market to ever more decision makers. We'll discuss the different marketing channels and how to optimize each one. We'll discuss what marketing automation can do to help the process, and more importantly, how to make it fit in with your strategic goals. We'll discuss how to handle the anonymous buyer, and talk about the analytics and reporting needed to track your efficiency. Dozens of case studies will be included in the course to support key points.

Opera as therapy: The Gigli Concert
The Gigli Concert by Tom Murphy has been hailed by critics as one of the finest Irish plays of the last century.
It premiered in Dublin in 1983, and tells the story of quack psychiatrist JPW King and the mysterious man who comes to his dingy offices seeking help.
He doesn't want counselling - instead, he wants to learn to sing like the famous Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli.
Maeliosa Stafford, who saw the original 1983 production, plays the mysterious Irishman in O'Punksky's Theatre's staging of the classic play at Sydney's Darlinghurst Theatre.
He discusses the role that opera plays in healing these two men who are struggling with their respective demons, as well as the curious lack of contemporary Irish plays on the Australian stage.

text: Sun Hwa Kwon quickly jumped into the passenger seat of the waiting SUV, as Dr. Zander got behind the wheel. They headed for the west gate. The guards soon stopped them. As Zander explained they were just going into town for some supplies, Sun Hwa noticed one of the guards, in the back of the shack, watching her intently, as he turned his back and whispered into a wrist microphone. Almost immediately they heard a radio command. "Delay the vehicle!" It was Woo-Jung Paik's voice! Zander didn't delay! He gunned the engine and rammed the gate! They headed at full speed down the main road, then one mile out, made a quick turn onto a side road that took them further out into the countryside. "There is a lake nearby," Dr. Zander said, "It is a peaceful place. It would be the perfect place to..." Then Zander cut off what he was about to say. Sun finished the sentence for him. "...the perfect place to die?" she said. Zander nodded. Suddenly, off to their right, they saw a black SUV tearing across the field! Zander tried to speed up but the other SUV was faster and was soon right behind them! Sun looked back and could see her Father, along with some of his security forces! Paik was screaming. "Stop them now!!" he ordered, "shoot out the tires!" Paik's driver replied, "Sir, that would be too dangerous at these speeds!" "Fine!" Paik said, "If you won't do it, then I will!!" He immediately grabbed a rifle from a guard and leaned out the vehicle and fired! Two shots went wide but one shot hit a tire and the other smashed out the back window of the fleeing SUV! The SUV spun out of control and came to a complete stop off to the side of the road! Paik's SUV immediately came to a halt! He quickly got out and had his guards surround the now damaged vehicle. Zander exited the driver's side door. "Paik! You fool!" Zander yelled, "come see what you've just done!" Paik quickly ran to the passenger side door. Sun was sitting there with a smile on her face. She turned her head slowly and looked up at Paik. "Thank you, Father," she weakly said, "You've granted me my wish! It will come sooner now!" Paik looked down to see that Sun was bleeding profusely from her chest. He had shot her! "Oh! Please! No!" Paik cried. He then shouted to his guards, "get a medical copter here immediately!!" Sun shook her head. "No, Father. It is too late. Please help me out of the car." Paik helped Sun out and she slowly walked over into the grass field and sat down. She could feel the gentle breeze. Sun knew that through it all, she had been blessed. She thought it was such a shame that only through dying, she could finally understand that. She began to feel weak. She laid down and looked up at the beautiful blue sky. She saw the contrail of a jet flying far above. She knew the time had come. She slowly closed her eyes and Sun Hwa Kwon died for the second time in her life. Next Chap. 19 "The Return"

The Indiana Medicaid Program provides medical care to nearly 1,000,000 Hoosiers.
OMPP Data Resources
The answers to all Medicaid frequently asked questions (FAQs)
can be found here. You can scroll through or click on the topic
that may apply to you or your family.
Remember that program questions and answers are specific
to each program area and all answers do not apply to all
Each Medicaid program has different criteria for determining if
a person or family qualifies for coverage. Eligibility could be
based on income, assets, family size, medical need, or a
combination of these factors.
Applications for Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
(SNAP, formerly known as 'Food Stamps'), and Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF, cash assistance) are processed by the
Division of Family Resources. You can begin to apply for benefits
online or by calling
1-800-403-0864. You may also apply in person at a local DFR office or at a Community Enrollment
DFR offices are located in all 92 counties. You can go to the DFR website and click on the county where
you live to find your local office.
Click on "Apply for Benefits
Online" to complete your application.
For all the people in your household you will need to know:
It is helpful to apply as soon as you identify a need for waiver
services. If you have been denied Medicaid eligibility in the past,
you should re-apply if your situation has changed and you think you
may qualify.
Where you apply depends upon the type of Medicaid waiver
services needed. The Division of Aging. through local Area Agencies
on Aging (AAA) administers the Aged and Disabled (A&D) waiver
and the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver. To apply for one of
these waivers, go to your
local AAA office or call 1-800-986-3505.
The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS)
administers the Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH) waiver
and the Family Supports waiver (FSW) for people with developmental
and intellectual disabilities. To apply for one of these waivers,
go to your
local BDDS office or call 1-800-545-7763 for more
Yes. The Division of Aging and BDDS both have wait lists for the
Medicaid waivers they administer.
You will need to keep your contact information current,
including any changes to your phone number or address. For Aging
waivers, go to your local AAA
office or call 1-800-986-3505. For BDDS waivers, go to your
local BDDS office or call 1-800-545-7763.
Individuals on the Aging waiting list may be eligible for other
supports and services. Go to your
local AAA office or call 1-800-986-3505 for information.
Families on the BDDS waiver waiting list are eligible to receive
a small amount of Care Giver Support Services (i.e. respite) each
year. Your local BDDS office can provide information and a listing
of providers for this service.
If you should have an EMERGENCY (serious illness or
incapacitation of a primary care giver) while your loved one is
waiting for a waiver, you may be able to receive Emergency Support
Services. This is not a waiver but rather an individualized package
of supports created to address the needs of an individual when a
primary caregiver is not able and no other supports exist. If you
are in need of this type of assistance, contact your
local BDDS office and ask about Emergency Support Services.
An appeal is asking for a hearing because you do not agree with
a decision the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) has
made regarding your eligibility or benefits. The information listed
here is for members who are already on Medicaid. If you want to
appeal a decision regarding your eligibility for Medicaid, you must
follow the process for eligibility appeal that is listed on the
notice you received from the Division of Family Resources (DFR).
You can learn more about the appeal process here.
No. You do not have to pay to file an appeal.
If you are enrolled in Hoosier Healthwise or the Healthy
Indiana Plan, you must contact your health plan first. You are
required to exhaust their grievance and appeals process prior to
filing an appeal or grievance with the state.
Your appeal must be in writing. In your letter, tell us why you
think the decision is incorrect. Please make sure your name and
other important information, such as the date of the decision, are
on the letter.
Mail your appeal to:
Family and Social Services Administration
Office of Hearings and Appeals
402 West Washington Street, Room E034
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Eligibility: If you want to appeal a decision
made about your eligibility for Medicaid, you must follow the
process for eligibility appeal that is listed on the notice you
received from the Division of Family Resources. You can learn more
about that process here.
You must file an appeal:
New services cannot be started, but you may keep your current
benefits until an appeal is final, if you file an appeal:
Any disputed benefits you receive while your appeal is being
decided may have to be paid back if the appeal process determines
that the original decision is correct.
A hearing is a meeting between you (and any representative) and
the State. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will hear both sides
and make a decision according to the law. The ALJ is impartial in
the appeal. The ALJ will notify both you and the State of their
final decision in writing.
You will be notified in writing of the date, time, and place for
the hearing.
You or someone else, such as a lawyer, friend, or relative, can
tell why you disagree with this decision. If you wish to have legal
representation and you cannot afford it, you may call Indiana Legal
To change your PMP, please call your health plan at the number
listed below:
A health plan is a group of health care providers, including
primary care doctors, specialists, home healthcare providers,
pharmacies, therapists, and more. Each doctor is enrolled in one or
more of these health plans. When you choose your doctor, you will
also choose a health plan. It is important for you to know which
Hoosier Healthwise health plan you and your doctor are in because
for most health care services, you must only use health care
providers that are in your health plan.
You can change your health plan at certain times during
the year:
Call your health plan if you have a complaint or grievance. If
you do not know which health plan you are enrolled in, please call
the Hoosier Healthwise Helpline at 1-800-889-9949. The telephone
numbers for all health plans are listed below:
Yes, you should choose a doctor before your baby is born. You
will need to choose a doctor in your current health plan. If you do
not choose a doctor before the baby is born, one may be assigned to
There are some types of services that you can go to on your own
without seeing your personal doctor first. These include basic eye
care (eye surgeries require a doctor's approval), dental services,
foot care, chiropractic services, and family planning. However,
some services need a referral from your doctor, such as going to
the hospital or a specialist.
Make sure you get the number where you can reach your doctor
after hours. A qualified medical professional is available to you
24 hours a day to give you medical advice and tell you what you
should do in each situation. Never go to the emergency room unless
you have a true emergency. True emergencies are when a delay in
treatment would result in lasting injury or death. Some examples
are chest pain, broken bones, bleeding that cannot be stopped, or
drug overdoses. You can also call your health plan 24 hours a
If you need to request a new card, please visit your local DFR office or
call 1-800-403-0864.
It is very important that you keep your address updated with the
Division of Family Resources (DFR). You can report a change online.
You can also visit your local DFR office to
report a change, or call 1-800-403-0864.
If you need to miss a scheduled appointment with a provider, you
need to call the doctor's office as far in advance as possible.
Most offices consider 24-48 hours notice as acceptable. If you
remember that you have missed an appointment after the appointment,
you should call your doctor's office to apologize, explain why the
appointment was missed, and reschedule.
If you receive a bill from your doctor, you should call your
health plan.
If you are a new CHIP member, you will be mailed a premium
invoice shortly after you are determined eligible. CHIP members who
have questions about premium payments can call 1-866-404-7113.
Premium payment checks or money orders should be mailed to:
Hoosier Healthwise
P.O. Box 3127
Indianapolis, IN 46206-3127
No. When you join Hoosier Healthwise, you must choose a plan
within 14 days, or one will be assigned to you. You must see this
doctor for all your care. He or she will refer you to another
doctor if you need specialty care. Call the Hoosier Healthwise
Helpline at 1-800-889-9949 to pick your plan, and then call your
health plan organization to select your doctor.
Hoosier Care Connect is a health care program for individuals
aged 65 years and older, blind, or disabled and who are also not
eligible for Medicare. In Hoosier Care Connect, you pick a health
plan that works with you and your doctor to understand your health
care needs. These health plans will make sure that you get the most
appropriate care based upon your individualized needs.
The purpose of Hoosier Care Connect is to help all aged, blind,
and disabled individuals have consistent and high quality health
care that meets their individualized needs.
When you complete the Indiana Application for Health Coverage,
you will be immediately notified if you are appropriate for Hoosier
Care Connect. To learn more about completing the Indiana
Application for Health Coverage, you can go to the Apply for
Medicaid page (insert hyperlink).
Care Select is ending. Care Select was designed for individuals
with specific medical conditions. Hoosier Care Connect is much
broader by joining all aged, blind, and disabled individuals who do
not have Medicare with a health plan that will help coordinate all
of their individualized health care needs. Care Select members will
be transitioned to Hoosier Care Connect.
If you are aged, blind, or disabled and do not currently have
Medicare, you must be enrolled in Hoosier Care Connect.
A health plan, also known as a managed care entity (MCE), is a
group of health providers, including primary care doctors,
specialists, home health care providers, pharmacists, therapists,
and more that deliver covered services to Hoosier Care Connect
enrollees. You will be required to use only health care providers
that are enrolled with your health plan.
If your doctor is not a Hoosier Care Connect provider, either
you or your health plan can either call the following phone number
and encourage the doctor to enroll:
Each health plan will have a different approach, so you should
contact your health plan to know if you need to have a PMP. You can
find each health plan's phone number under the Contact Us
Each health plan has the opportunity to provide extra benefits
to its Hoosier Care Connect members, so you should contact your
health plan to find out if a service is covered. You can find each
health plan's phone number under the Contact Us website.
No. The Medicaid benefits for Medicaid Disability are the same
as for M.E.D. Works. M.E.D. Works is Medicaid.
M.E.D. Works is available to you if you are disabled, according
to Indiana Medicaid standards, and working. Financial eligibility
is based on a formula for determining countable income. Your
countable income must not exceed 350% of the Federal Poverty Level
Contact your local Division of
Family Resources (DFR) office. If you are not already on
Medicaid, you must apply for Medicaid and meet the medical
eligibility requirements.
Maybe. No minimum work effort is defined for this program. As
long as your employment is verifiable through pay check stubs, W-2s
or self employment records, you will be considered employed, and
therefore eligible, for M.E.D. Works, provided that you meet the
other eligibility standards.
Premiums are a sliding scale fee based on your monthly gross
income. Premiums range from $48-$187 a month for a single person
and $65-$254 for a married person. You may not have any premium at
all, and premiums are often much less than the spend-down
requirements for Medicaid.
Premiums are paid on a monthly basis. You will receive a premium
payment book when you are enrolled in M.E.D. Works.
You will receive a premium book with a coupon stub that will
provide you with the address to send your payment. You may also
call the M.E.D. Works Payment Line at 1-866-273-5897 for the
mailing address and information about your payments.
No. If you pay to participate in private health insurance,
continue to do so. Your M.E.D. Works premiums will be adjusted by
the amount that you pay each month for your private health
insurance. Medicaid will pick up payment on your medical expenses
where your private insurance leaves off.
You may keep your M.E.D. Works coverage for 12 months following
the involuntary termination of your employment if you notify the
Division of Family Resources within 60 days and continue to meet
the criteria to maintain a connection in the workforce.
If you have more questions, you should call 1-800-403-0864 or visit your local DFR
You can apply for PEPW at certain clinics or doctor's offices.
You can use the Provider Search for a list of locations
near your, or call 1-800-889-9949. While there, you will be asked
to take a pregnancy test or show proof of pregnancy from another
doctor or clinic.
If you are pregnant, the doctor or clinic will ask you some
questions and will fill out all the PEPW forms for you. If you
qualify for PEPW, your coverage will begin that day.
You will need the following information on your first visit:
Please call us at 1-800-889-9949. You may also use the provider search to find a list of locations
near you.
Note: when searching for a provider, you have the option to
search only the providers in your area who are approved PE
providers. This will help you to determine where you should go for
Yes. Any woman who thinks she is pregnant and whose income
allows her to participate should visit a designated clinic or
doctor to find out if she is pregnant and to apply for PEPW.
PEPW care includes doctor visits, tests, lab work, and other
care for your pregnancy. It also includes dental care and
prescription drugs.
PEPW will not pay for hospital stays, labor and delivery, and
services unrelated to your pregnancy. If you become eligible for
Medicaid, these services will be included. Because of this, it is
very important to complete the follow-up interview for your
Medicaid eligibility application.
You will qualify for PEPW until your Medicaid eligibility is
determined. However, if you do not complete your Medicaid
application and interview, your PEPW could end very quickly. It is
very important that you respond to all requests regarding your
coverage. If you do not respond, you will not be enrolled in
Medicaid, which means you will have to pay for all prenatal and
labor and delivery costs. These costs can be very expensive.
If you qualify for PEPW, all medical services received on that
day from the designated clinic or provider will be paid by PEPW. If
you do not qualify for PEPW, you will have to pay for the
With PEPW coverage, you will not have to pay any portion of the
cost of covered prenatal services. PEPW will not pay for hospital
stays, labor and delivery, and services unrelated to your
pregnancy. If you become eligible for Medicaid then these services
will be included. Because of this, it is very important to complete
the follow-up interview for your Medicaid eligibility
If you have Medicaid coverage, your baby will also be covered
from the day of birth.
If you do not have Medicaid coverage for labor and delivery,
including those who had PEPW but did not qualify for Medicaid
coverage, you will have to apply for Medicaid coverage for your
newborn baby. The Medicaid application process can take some time.
It is best to make sure that you respond to all requests for
information and begin Medicaid coverage before the baby is
Yes. You must choose your health plan and your doctor while you
are at the designated clinic or doctor's office applying for PEPW.
You will make your choice by calling the enrollment broker. The
clinic or doctor's office will help you with this process while you
are in their office.
Please call us at 1-800-889-9949. Additional information is also
available online at the Presumptive Eligibility process
If you are 21 years or older, you can have your glasses replaced
every 5 years. Medicaid will replace lost, stolen and broken
glasses that cannot be fixed.
Yes. You can get a ride to and from your medical and dental
appointments. Call the member hotline at 1.800-457-4584 for help
with finding transportation in your area.
Many people think that Medicare and Medicaid are the same
program that are referred to by different names. This is not true.
They are two completely separate insurance programs. Medicaid is a
state-run insurance program to help primarily those with low income
and low resources. Medicare is a Federal entitlement program
targeted to people 65 and older and certain individuals with a
disability. The Social Security Administration determines who is
eligible for Medicare, enrolls people into the Medicare program,
and sends out information about Medicare.
Braces are covered only if your dentist says your child has a
cleft lip or palate.
Prior Authorization is where your doctor requests that you can
receive some special treatments, services, or supplies, such as
wheelchairs or hospital beds. Your doctor cannot simply order these
items for you; he or she must ask for and show proof that you need

Fund Times: Updates for BT, ING, MLC, Perpetual, Schroders
Page 1 of 1
In recent news from the funds management industry you may have missed, BT Investment Management has changed its currency management strategy for global shares; ING has restructured its business and replaced its CIO; and MLC has given its three global property managers equal weightings. On the people front, Perpetual has had changes in domestic property, multi-sector, and domestic equities, and Schroders has added to its domestic shares and global quantitative teams.
BT alters currency management strategy
BT Investment Management has adjusted the currency management strategy for its diversified global share funds. Quantitative investment manager AQR Capital Management's mandate was previously to attempt to add value from stock selection, and also from country selection and currency management through derivatives overlays. Citing unprecedented volatility and increased implementation costs, BTIM has elected to take the currency management process in-house, and to cease the country overlay process. AQR's focus will be on adding value from stock and industry selection.
We have made adjustments to the appropriate sections of our qualitative research report, and reconfirmed our existing Morningstar Recommendation of 'Recommended'. The change affects funds such as BT Investment – BT International, BT Wholesale – Core Global Share, BT Wholesale – International Share, and BT – Global Share.
ING restructures funds management business, replaces CIO
ING Investment Management has restructured its Australian funds management business. The firm has created a new Multi-Strategies Group combining the former INGIM Macro Strategies & Implementation Group, and the former OptiMix multi-manager business' Portfolio Solutions Group. Former OptiMix Chief Investment Officer Emmanuel Calligeris is assuming the role of CIO for the new Multi-Strategies Group, while Chief Investment Officer Macro Strategies and Implementation Eric Siegloff is leaving the firm on 1 December. (Siegloff had assumed his role in October 2007, after David McClatchy's promotion from Chief Investment Officer to Chief Executive of the local ING funds management business.)
Siegloff had also since May 2005 headed the investment team responsible for ING's locally-offered international share funds, among them ING Wholesale – Global Share and ING OneAnswer Investment Portfolio – ING Global Share, drawing on ING investment teams located in The Hague, Tokyo, and New York. We downgraded our Morningstar Recommendation for this strategy to 'Hold' in May 2007, arguing that despite strengthened team resources and greater currency management expertise, we found it hard to get enthused about the underlying managers, while the recalibrated portfolio construction process had still to earn its stripes. Siegloff's impending departure means another round of reconstruction for this strategy, and our preference continues to lie with more stable and established options.
The key issue for OptiMix investors is that Emmanuel Calligeris' new responsibilities as Multi-Strategies Group CIO mean that he will no longer be dedicated to overseeing and managing the multi-manager team's processes and intellectual property development. We will be reassessing our existing reports and Morningstar Recommendations for OptiMix's investment strategies.
MLC rebalances global property manager weights
MLC Investments has rebalanced its global property investment manager weightings. The three underlying investment managers – LaSalle, Morgan Stanley, and Sydney-based Resolution Capital – now all have a third of portfolio assets to manage. (LaSalle and Morgan Stanley previously had 40.0 percent of MLC's global property assets each, and Resolution – appointed in December 2006 – had 20.0 percent.) MLC stated that Resolution had now justified equal weighting with the more established managers after demonstrating its ability to transfer its domestic property management expertise into global property investing. Regular incoming funds flows were used to implement the manager rebalancing.
The funds affected are MLC Wholesale Global Property Class A, MLC Wholesale Global Property Class B, MLC MasterKey Superannuation Global Property, and MLC MasterKey Pension – Global Property. The largest global property holdings in the MLC portfolio at 30 June 2008 were British Land (4.56 percent), Hong Kong Land Holdings (4.26 percent), Mitsubishi Estate (3.98 percent), and Australian REIT Westfield (3.94 percent).
Perpetual staff changes in property, multi-sector, domestic equities
Perpetual Investments has integrated its property securities investing into the firm's broader Australian Equities team, headed by John Sevior. The role of Head of Property Securities, occupied by Sean Murray since 2003, has been made redundant, although Murray will remain with the firm for several months as part of the integration process. Responsibility for managing the firm's domestic A-REIT assets now rests with Anthony Cay, a Perpetual employee since 1996 who has concentrated on property securities since 1999.
We have updated the relevant sections of our existing research report for Perpetual's listed property strategy, which retains its existing Morningstar Recommendation of 'Investment Grade'. The principal funds affected are Perpetual's Wholesale Property Securities, Perpetual WFIA Property Securities, and Perpetual WFI Property Securities.
Elsewhere, Perpetual has hired Michael Blayney as Portfolio Manager for multi-sector funds, headed previously by Richard Brandweiner, who was appointed last year as Group Executive of the firm's income and multi-sector businesses. Blayney has worked for more than a decade in superannuation and asset consulting, most recently with Watson Wyatt. Brandweiner will still sit on Perpetual's Asset Allocation Review Board, which oversees the strategic and tactical asset allocation processes. (The other members are Group Executive, Global Equities Emilio Gonzalez and Senior Portfolio Manager, Quantitative Investments Vasant Khilnani.)
Our fund research analysts are currently undertaking qualitative assessments of Perpetual's multi-sector funds, to be published in coming months. The principal wholesale funds we'll be covering are Perpetual's Wholesale Diversified Growth, Perpetual's Wholesale Conservative Growth, and Perpetual's Wholesale Balanced Growth.
In other Perpetual people news, the firm has also hired two analysts, Andrew Blakely and Andrew Corbett, to work with James Bruce on analysis of energy and resources stocks. Blakely worked previously in energy analysis roles at Macquarie Bank, JP Morgan, and UK energy consultant Wood Mackenzie. Corbett's background includes stints working for mining companies and contractors such as Lionore Mining International and the Normandy Group, most recently with Orica.
Blakely and Corbett will work on Perpetual's recently-launched global resources funds, among them Perpetual WFIA Perpetual Global Resources and Perpetual WFS Perpetual Global Resources, and contribute to the management of funds such as Perpetual's Wholesale Australian, Perpetual WFI Perpetual's Australian Share, and Perpetual WFS Perpetual's Australian Share, which currently have Morningstar Recommendations of 'Recommended'.
Schroders adds to domestic, global quantitative equities teams
Finally, Schroder Investment Management has been hiring in domestic equities, and in global quantitative equities.
The shop has hired Daniel Peters as Australian Equities Analyst, focusing on listed property and infrastructure, reporting to Head of Australian Equities Martin Conlon. Peters worked previously in A-REIT-related roles at Phoenix Portfolios, Citigroup Asset Management, Mercer Investment Consulting, and Property Investment Research. Funds to which Peters will contribute research include Schroder Australian Equity S and Schroder Wholesale Australian Equity. Schroders is currently one of our six 'Highly Recommended' large-cap Australian equities strategies.
Schroders has also appointed Michael O'Brien as an Analyst in the Global Quantitative Equities team, whose 16 members are split between Sydney and London. O'Brien will report to Head of Research David Philpotts and contribute to the management of Schroder Global Active Value, Schroder Global Active Value Hedged, and Schroder Geared Global Active Value Hedged. This is an all-cap global share strategy whose largest weightings on the Style Box at 31 October 2008 were 35.48 percent large-cap value, 27.20 percent mid-cap value, and 12.08 percent small-cap value. The strategy currently has a Morningstar Recommendation of 'Recommended', and we described it in our most recent report as "a fine option to anchor the value portion of an investor's portfolio".

Chaos has been controlled with the occasional proportional feedback technique in a delayed optical bistable system that consists of a laser-diode interferometer with a delayed optoelectronic feedback. A variety of subharmonic periodic orbits and high mode oscillations are stabilized at different time delays. No knowledge about the dynamical equation is required for the control. The synchronizing frequency can be readily estimated from the ratio of the delay and the system relaxation times.

2012 Buick Verano
2012 Buick LaCrosse
2012 Buick Regal GS
General Motors has ported over the high tech features found in the Chevrolet MyLink system to vehicles built by both Buick and GMC. Chevrolet MyLink, which was initially developed as a Ford SYNC-fighter, will be known under the name of 'IntelliLink' across the Buick and GMC lineups.
What exactly do Buick IntelliLink and GMC IntelliLink bring to the table? Essentially, each of these systems mirrors the functionality found in the MyLink system, which is to say that it serves as a complement to GM's existing OnStar features. Primarily, IntelliLink has been designed to match the smart phone and data network integration capabilities that have given Ford SYNC such a lead in the onboard informatics market. Drivers will be able to connect their smart phones to the IntelliLink system either wirelessly using Bluetooth, or via a USB connection. Mobile devices can then be controlled using both voice commands and steering wheel controls, with a phone's features linking to the up to eight-inch full color screens offered by Buick and GMC cars and trucks. For drivers who would prefer to connect other devices to the IntelliLink system, Bluetooth and USB integration is also offered for portable media players and simple portable USB flash drives.
What else does IntelliLink bring to the table beyond its mobile device integration capabilities? The system provides drivers with a more advanced voice command system, known as Nuance, which enables full control over the vehicle's entertainment and communications systems. GM has been quick to point out that the time Buick has spent refining the sound proofing in its automobiles has paid dividends when it comes to improving the ability of Nuance to accurately process the human voice. IntelliLink also offers two Internet radio apps, PANDORA and Stitcher SmartRadio, which can connect to live music feeds via the online connection of an integrated smart phone, as well as the Gracenote service, which automatically ID's music files that have been loaded into IntelliLink and provides extensive information about each album and track.
The roll-out of IntelliLink across more of the GM lineup is an important step for the domestic automaker, and the ability for the system to be updated via simple software patches is also a plus in terms of helping to ensure that its features keep up with SYNC over the long term. Buick customers will see the greatest number of vehicles offering IntelliLink for the 2012 model year, with the upcoming Buick Verano, the Buick Regal, and the Buick LaCrosse all gaining the feature. The Buick Enclave crossover will be joining the list of IntelliLink-enabled vehicles in 2013. As for GMC, currently only the 2012 GMC Terrain crossover has been tapped to benefit from IntelliLink, although it seems likely that other trucks and SUVs offered by the brand will also eventually count the technology as standard equipment.

Recently during the filming of a safety video project for a client I needed to capture some video footage looking straight down on a machine in operation. In order to film the required footage I used one of my existing tripods, which can be configured in a non-adjustable, lateral position. It occurred to me as I was fiddling around with this existing tripod that it would have been much easier to get the required video footage if I had a tripod with a range of lateral movement, rather than just one lateral position at 90-degrees. Since I've been pleased thus far with my other Oben tripod (CC-2491), I decided to give the Oben CC-2361L lateral tripod a try since it met my key shooting criteria for tripods.
Elvid RigVision CM-7L Review
The Elvid RigVision CM-7L is a supplemental monitor designed for field use with video cameras and DSLRs. I tested it for still photo usage and gave it to Dawn Kish to test for video work.
Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ballhead Review
Every once in a while I like going back and taking a fresh look at the tools that I have been relying on for years. During my last trip to Death Valley and the California mountains, I met a few photographers who I spent some time with, talking about what photographers generally chat about – camera gear and our favorite photography spots. One photographer had a very similar setup as mine, using a Gitzo Systematic tripod and a Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead. His ballhead had a different quick release plate than mine, so we started chatting about the differences in the setup and what we both like and dislike about the BH-55. After this discussion, I realized that I have never written about the BH-55 at Photography Life, although I have continuously relied on it for years and take it with me everywhere I go. In a way, I have gotten emotionally attached to this remarkable ballhead and it has become an indispensable tool for my photography work.
Really Right Stuff TQC-14 Tripod Review
I used to have a wooden tripod. It was not as bad as it sounds — other photographers were always fascinated by the design, and it was sturdier than you might expect. Unfortunately, despite weighing 4.2 pounds, it had a maximum height of just three feet. Plus, it was bulky. I brought this tripod along on a hiking trip, thinking that these problems wouldn't be too bad. I was wrong. It was too big to sit well on my backpack, and its weight started to bother me on long hikes. I researched my other options, and carbon fiber tripods began to come up in my searches. I wanted the best possible weight-to-stability ratio, so I knew that I needed to save some money.
Through the course of my research, the tripod brand Really Right Stuff (RRS) began to emerge as the one of the "best" tripod manufacturers. I already had the BH-40 ballhead, which I was quite happy with, so I began to save up. I ultimately ordered the Really Right Stuff TQC-14, a top-of-the line travel tripod.
Impact Soft and Natural 4 Socket 3 Light Kit Review
The Impact Soft and Natural 4 Socket 3 Light Kit is a lightweight three-softbox continuous light source for studio shooting. MSRP is $604.90, but it seems to be perpetually discounted at B&H. As I write this it is priced at $348.95. The kit comes with stands, softboxes, heads and bulbs, everything you need to get started shooting portraits except the model and background (oh yeah, and camera and photographer, d'oh).
Think Tank Retrospective 7 Review
My experience with shoulder bags has not exactly been great up to this point. As much as I liked the idea of carrying equipment in a shoulder bag, that convenience of quick access, I've not found one that would serve the part flawlessly before. There was always something not quite right – it's either too square or too wide, the strap – too narrow or likes to play heart-stopping jokes on you.
You probably saw the next bit coming. You may even think it to be a cliché of sorts. But, yes, I found the shoulder bag I was looking for. I absolutely adore the Seven. Whenever I use it, I am constantly fascinated by all the things it does just right. Almost as if people who actually do photography came up with the design! So I will go on and say the following: if you need a medium-sized shoulder bag for daily use, just go and buy this. Need a smaller one? Get the Retrospective 5. Need a larger one? Get the Ten or Twenty. It's great, and I can't see someone not liking it for all the things it does well.
Gariz Leather Half-Case for Fujifilm X-E1/X-E2 Review
Let's be completely honest – other than style, leather half-cases for mirrorless cameras serve just about no purpose. It really is all about style – not protection, not ergonomic improvement, none of that. Any change in those areas is, more often than not, unintentional. A side effect. So, when talking about such an accessory, what matters most is design and quality of the product. One is only ever going to pay good money for an accessory that's not actually that practical or sensible to own if it looks great and is made with utmost precision. Gariz, a small Korean camera accessory manufacturer few have even heard of, has its hands full, so to speak.
Tenba Shootout Backpack 24L Review
As the proud owner of a Lowepro Transit Backpack 350AW and a ThinkTank Retrospective 20 messenger bag, you may well be wondering why I felt the need to add yet another bag to the collection. Well, the only answer I have for you is that my relentless search for the mythical "perfect camera bag" continues.
Oben CT-3481 Tripod Kit Review
Face it – tripods aren't as sexy as lenses or camera bodies and shelling out a bunch of dough on a tripod just isn't that satisfying. After selling my left kidney to pay for my Really Right Stuff tripod to support my super-telephoto wildlife lenses, I wasn't real eager to cough up ~$900 to get a Gitzo Traveler for my landscape work. But I wanted a lightweight compact tripod I could take on hikes. A tripod that would fit inside my daypack, weighed under 4 pounds and had a working height that on level ground would let me (6'2") work at eye level when I wanted. Enter the Oben CT-3481 4-section Carbon fiber Folding Tripod and BE-126T ball head. It's a 3.9 pound, full-featured tripod that folds to 19 inches long and has a working height of 68 inches. As well, it has plenty of adjustments to allow you to work low to the ground or on uneven terrain.
The Lume Cube and Why You Want It
I was a bit disappointed by the Photo Plus Expo this year in New York, because unlike last year, I did not find a lot of innovative products to be excited about. It seemed like the exhibit floor was full of the same things we had previously seen, except this year the organizers did not allow any Chinese companies on the floor (most likely because some of them were selling the exact same products as the bigger companies at a much lower price last year). However, there were a few things that I found that got me very excited and one of them was the Lume Cube. After seeing the product, Roman and I actually went back to see it again next day to find out more about it and to snap some pictures for our readers. So what is Lume Cube and why do I think it is an innovative product? Let's take a closer look.

Relative penalisation
I suppose that the strongest point to make in defence of my position here is to point to the comparative opacity of MP's rivals. Take Tom's point about fund managers (one of many on his blog - it prompted this post now).
And how about a gynecological-standard of forensics on pressure groups and lobbying firms? And advertising agencies? And 'reputation management' companies? And who could forget journalists? Surely we should be told how much advertisers are paying newspapers - so that we can understand how far journalists are being boundaried by their proprietors?
And Think Tanks. Where are they coming from, and why? Follow the money and find out! Oh - you can't! No-one as built a WeThinkForYou.org website yet - and there isn't any data for it to scrape in the way that TWFY scrapes Hansard.
And what about those submissions to public consultations? I've just finished writing one to OfCOM outlining a position that is, I believe, plainly in the public interest. I don't mix work and blogging, so I'll not go into it here. But I do know that a public-interest position will always be trumped by an impeccably researched, carefully argued, heavily pre-spun, beautifully presented response from a commercial lobby.
So, should commercial lobbies be obliged to name all of the researchers that they use, and detail the amount of money that they've spent on their response? I think they should. And you're right to laugh at me for thinking that it's possible.
MPs get scrutinised because they are scrutinisable. Every time we demand more scrutiny of MPs while not expecting commensurate transparency from elsewhere, we are undermining parliamentary democracy. We are offering a relative promotion to MPs rivals.
While I'm on the subject, I wish I wish I wish I could find a recording of a BBC Radio programme (one Saturday or Sunday night a few months ago) where the decision to broadcast Parliament was evaluated.
It's conclusion was that all of broadcasting's opponents worst fears were realised (along with many fears that hadn't occured to them at the time) .....

Commercial/independent bodies aren't funded through taxation though. Nor do they have the power to create laws. The fact that MPs are and do means that the general public are far more interested in what their activities.
I would be far more inclined to trust and buy a newspaper that revealed exactly how much it was getting from advertisers though.

actually on the subject of fund managers there is a bit of an overlap with politicians. Fidelity is in bed with the Tories in a big way (rather annoying as I had my ISA with them).
On our side David Pitt Watson just about still works for Hermes, but Hermes itself doesn't have a political alignment.
A while ago I did explore whether it would be possible to build a database for pension fund trustees that would enable them to access information on service providers about this kind of thing, but couldn't get the money together or the support to do it.

One of the developers is playing with something, they usually disappear after a few seconds don't worry.
When Blank does stuff we always get this. I go to nag him on skype and he says "fixed" before I do. They're only temporary so dw .
Well, then Blank must be doing stuff since Friday night, because that's when it started. I was on my phone then so I couldn't make a thread.
There hasn't been any errors until just now. Any error you may have seen on Friday was obviously fixed.

Sole Piccata
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by KathyRose in RI
I order this out whenever possible and finally found this recipe for home use. Elegant and easy.
Top Review by PaulaG
This is an excellent recipe. I did make a couple of adjustments by using flounder fillets for the fish and chicken stock in place of the wine. The flour was a brown rice blend. It was served with a wild rice blend and steamed broccoli for a wonderfully quick meal.
See Discussion:8 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄4 lbs sole fillets
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- soy flour, for dusting
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄2 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 4 sprigs parsley (to garnish)
Directions See How It's Made
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Dust lightly with the soy flour. In a large skillet heat the Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil over moderately high heat; add the fillets slowly in batches without crowding the skillet. When the fillets are lightly browned on one side, turn them over and brown the other side. Transfer to a warmed platter, but do not stack the fillets on top of each other. Keep the fillets warm while you make the sauce.
- In the same skillet, heat the butter, add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until golden then deglaze the skillet with the wine, scraping up any bits. Add the capers, lemon juice, pepper, chopped parsley and heat through, reducing slightly. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve garnished with the parsley.
- *Suggestion: Use the same wine to enjoy with dinner -- Pinot Grigio.
- The soy flour in this recipe actually gives the sole fillets, I think, a lighter flavor. Be sure your parsley is the flat leafed Italian or European version only.

If you were in a net relationship, what would your expectations be on being with others, seeing you cannot, or be touched. Would you expect your partner to be loyal in regards to sex, and the same expectation be on you.
Or, would you concede you both have needs/desires, and that you can be with others till u meet?
Most Helpful Girl
It's very unlikely I'd consent to be in a relationship over the internet/long distance relationship. I could do it if I was already in a serious relationship with someone and one of us had to move for school or a job or something, but I wouldn't start a relationship with someone who's far away. If we are in a relationship though, I do expect that we're loyal to each other in regards to sex. We're either together and exclusive, or not together and free to be with other people. If I were in that situation, it's definitely something to talk about and not assume though.00|00|0
If you are with someone, then they move, I could never be with another, until i am with them again. But, if it is a net relationship with one you have never met, like you say, it is a topic you need to talk about, and have consensus over. For, both women and men, do not live on bread alone in regards to touch/feel

It would be very hard to do so. i guess, complete honesty is the key, like any relationship
Yeah, true.

Burley-in-Wharfedale, is a village in the county of West Yorkshire, England. Along with Menston, Burley is part of Wharfedale Ward in the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford. It lies on the A65, approximately fourteen miles north-west of the centre of Leeds and nine miles north of Bradford. Burley is approximately 2.8 miles from the renowned spa town of Ilkley and 2 miles from the old market town of Otley. Burley has a railway station on the Wharfedale line, with direct trains to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley. It has a population of 5,865.
Despite the good transport links to local urban areas Burley in Wharfedale retains its rural feel and setting in the green Wharfedale valley.
The village is adjoined by Burley Woodhead, a small cluster of farms and homes at the foot of Burley Moor. Burley was an urban district until 1937 when it was absorbed by the larger Ilkley Urban District. In 1974 the whole area became part of Bradford Metropolitan District.
Originally a small agricultural community with likely Roman and Anglo-Saxon roots, Burley developed in the late 18th and 19th centuries into an industrial village with many residents employed at the cotton mills known as Greenholme Mills, which were powered from a fed from the River Wharfe.
The development of industrial and commercial centres in the nearby cities of Leeds and Bradford, combined with rail and bus links, prompted major changes to the village in the early 20th Century. Council housing was built in the 1920s and 1950s, as the village became a dormitory settlement for the two cities.
Developments in the second half of the twentieth century have seen Burley become a prosperous but socially diverse village. The village has a high percentage of elderly and retired people , as well as many young families attracted by job opportunities, local schools and new housing developments.
Whilst the cotton mill no longer operates, the village retains a range of local businesses.
In 2006, following a petition to the local authority and permission from the Secretary of State, Burley gained its own Parish Council.
