The whole idea that corporations deserve to be compensated for democracy makes a mockery of the idea of financial return based on business risk and implies that democracy is an aberration.
Whether it's Metgasco whinging for a payout or investor state settlement provisions in the TPP it's all a symptom of global corporate sociopathy. The corporate term for democracy is "sovereign risk" and we the people should make no apology, the risk is rightly the corporation's and the sovereignty is rightly ours.
Some ventures are riskier than others and there are few ventures more speculative than mining exploration. Investors expect to make a motza if they strike oil or gas and they should take their losses on the chin if they fail, regardless of whether their failure is caused by economic, physical or geo-political risks. A mining exploration seeking compensation for democracy is like a gambler wanting a government guaranteee before entering the Casino. Democracy is simply a normal business risk.
The revolving door that exists between the mining industry and government in this country reveals an unhealthy culture that reeks of systemic corruption. Mining and resource industry lobbyists, resource ministers and their staff, seem to exist on an endless roundabout that corrodes good governance. Perversely, the most speculative industries of all have become a self-entitled enclave, propped up by billions in subsidies.
Imagine if governments were required to compensate the drug companies who lost money when Thalidomide was taken off the shelves. How is it any different with fracking? At first it may have seemed like a good idea, but as the litanny of downstream risks becomes apparent, good governance demands that the activity must stop.
The state government needs to stand up to Metgasco, change the legislation to regain control and resist inflated compensation claims. It is all just a local version of a much bigger problem.
Corporations all over the world have grown in size and power. We must remember corporations are legal persons under the law, but morally they are technically sociopaths. They have no emotional bonds to family or nature, no feelings, and no body. They are driven entirely by the drive to maximise their own profits. Any human legal person with these characteristics would be definitely be identified as a sociopath.
The bizzare legal fiction of our times is that we treat property (the corporation) as though it is a person and nature as though it is property.

Next thing I know I'm in this crisp white bathroom, there was a full bath and I could see something floating, so I went to pick it out and it was the baby, except now it was a cat.
Now, this dream was the most vivid I've had in a long while. It contained two people I had never met before, locations I'd never been in before and both a baby and a cat I had never known.
I can explain the apocalypse-like disaster, I'm still livid about BT dropping Fox and subsequently my Walking Dead fix. The fridge freezer, my sister rang last night to see if I wanted hers as she'd just bought a new one. The cat-baby well, that's obvious, it's Mother's day again today, sure comes round quick. So that's sat on my shoulders but I don't quite know about the bathroom 'scene'.
What the blithering flip are you going on about Lisa! Yeah, there's a reason I am committing the inner workings of my resting mind to the realms of the internet. Our brains are our greatest asset, forget that fat ass, shiny hair, big boobs, whatever it is that's hot right now. You could even forget arms and legs! There are people in this world who have been born without or have lost limbs and they are living full and happy lives, why is that? Because they got their head in the right place. Yeah, I appreciate that's a highly simplified statement, but I want us all to give our brains a big high five.
Last night my brain put together a little show for me while I was asleep, most of it by itself but using some 'notes' I'd left lying about the place. This morning when I woke up my brain reminded me about that show and sparked a surge of emotion relating to it.
For the most part, my waking brain show-reels are forecasts of future events at which I just generally make a fool of myself or get pissed off about something but I'm slowly learning to zone that out. What if I could use the same technique my 'dream brain' uses and plant little seeds of greatness in scenarios yet to occur. Now, I'm not expecting to be working in a post apocalyptic swap shop any time soon, but if I do, I'll know there's a pretty good chance that someone would be so, so desperate that they would swap their own child for a freezer (I'm guessing the electricity is still on).
What if the line of events and tasks I have stacked up on my 'aghhh, I can't do that' pile were just moved over to the 'yeah, that'll be reet' section. I know I can do it, because I did it a wee while back, it's a lot of concentration, but I'm pretty sure I can master it.
I'm not quite sure I can wrap this post up easily, but I read an amazing quote in the Church newsletter this morning so we'll go with that ok?
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.

New York Fashion Week, just held this September 8th-15th, has brought visions of spring and summer 2012 looks. Runway models displayed many different hairstyles, from messy locks to sleek ponytails. One look that has kept its footing in the hair industry is the (seemingly) all natural wave. The "celebrity hairstylist of Iowa City", Sorayah Hamilton, weighs in: "It's simple with a sense of adventure."
Hamilton, a 40-something mom of three, who refuses to share her actual age with anyone, is a hairdresser at Buzz salon located in the pedestrian mall, downtown Iowa City. The stylist takes classes annually at Bumble & Bumble (Bb) in New York to advance her cutting, styling and product knowledge. She has also worked with models for numerous backstage events and photo shoots, some of which she collaborates with her designer brother, Tim Hamilton.
Hamilton's favorite look that has been constantly seen on the runways and in the magazines recently is the natural wave. "I appreciate it when someone is creative with their natural texture," she said.
The stylist is not a big fan of flat irons. "I call that the F-word…and I don't use the F-word," she said. She rethinks her statement, "I like to flat iron ribbons and shirt collars," she laughed. Flat irons are damaging to hair because of the intense heat. If used the right way (sparingly), Hamilton admits they are acceptable in some cases. But for the most part, she doesn't find the look very appealing. "Very fine fragile hair that sticks straight beyond belief really isn't flattering on anybody—except for maybe DJs in the 90s," she said.
How To:
The next few seasons are all about embracing your natural beauty, Hamilton said. To get the natural wavy look, wash your hair and squeeze excess water out of it with a towel. Comb. After combing, Hamilton suggests making a middle part and applying a serum. Hamilton's favorite: shu uemura's nourishing protective oil. (You can find the product at Buzz or order it online.) "I call it lip gloss for the hair," she said. Its benefits are high shine, silky softness and UV protection. Then, take 1 inch sections of your hair and alternate between twisting and braiding until no loose hairs are left. For the most part the braids will hold, but sometimes the twists won't. In this case, pin back twists anywhere on the scalp with a single bobby pin. (Don't worry about how messy it looks at this point.) Let your hair dry naturally, unpin, tousle, and enjoy looking like a goddess!
Touch of Flair:
Another trend popping up in the hair industry is the feather. Girls all over have been seen flaunting the feather hair extension.
Hamilton thinks the right placement of these should be more subtle; behind the ear, on the lower end of the hairline. This way it peaks through in the ponytail, and is noticeable yet not distracting when your hair is down. When choosing the right color she opts for the neutrals. (Think creamy shades of brown.) Hamilton said to steer clear of electric pink, blue, green, etc. because they're not for everyday wear. Hamilton is all about not having an "over engineered look," she said. This meaning: stick with the natural wave and a neutral colored feather.
To get a feather extension, you can walk into Buzz salon to have a staff member put one in on the spot. There are options to get one feather or a three-pack placed. The process takes less than five minutes. The price ranges between $12 and $45 depending on how big the feather is, and how many you want in your hair.
The feathers are supposed to stay in your hair anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks. If you can't commit to a feather for that long, there are other options like clip-ins. You can also look into buying a long feather earring, which would have remotely the same look if you are wearing your hair down. This may be a better bang for the buck, because you can wear it whenever you want, unlike the extension—once that falls out, it's out.
To learn more how to put a feather in yourself and alternatives to the hair extension, stay tuned for my next post!
Fun Fact: The feather fad in the hair industry has caused a shortage of feathers for fly fisherman. "Eh, they'll find other things to catch their fish with," Hamilton shrugged.

If you've had your eyes on the headlines recently, it's likely you've noticed an increasing number of celebrities being upfront and owning their cosmetic enhancements. We think this is really exciting.
Celebrities like Bethenny Frankel and Iggy Azalea who decide to talk freely and openly about their BOTOX® Cosmetic injections or breast augmentation procedures are breaking down barriers. You might say they're normalizing plastic surgery — but then again, there were 15.9 million cosmetic procedures in the United States last year alone, so it's pretty normal to those folks.
What celebrities are doing is making it easier for our liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and other Saratoga Springs and Albany patients to feel comfortable talking about their own plastic surgery procedures and treatments. And that's worth celebrating.
Still, we understand why some patients decide to be discreet, as opening up about surgical and nonsurgical treatments is an incredibly personal decision. Even so, there are a few reasons we hope you'll want to share your experience:
- The Investment. Cosmetic enhancement, whether surgical or nonsurgical, is an investment in your future. For most patients, discussing the financial impact with a loved one is appropriate before making a commitment. In addition, there is the time commitment involved in getting back to your old self, especially with surgical procedures. Having a supportive friend or family member there during your procedure — and throughout the recovery — will make the process much more manageable.
- The Results. While you might not be ready to Snapchat your treatment (even though reality stars Snooki and Kendra Wilkinson did), or write a tell-all about your tummy tuck, we hope you feel proud of the decision you've made to invest in yourself — proud enough to show off your results.
- The Impact. In years past, the plastic surgery industry was viewed as "superficial" or "unnecessary." But there's a real effect on your self-esteem and confidence when you decide to undergo a procedure. It's empowering. Looking to a board-certified plastic surgeon for a little help here and there is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, and we happen to think that taking care of yourself can have a ripple effect in other aspects of your life.
Again, the decision to disclose information about a treatment is personal and often sensitive for many patients. Regardless of what others think, you should make the decision for you and only you. In the end, we hope you feel so confident in your choice that you'll want to tell the world (or at least your family) in the future.
In the meantime, the secret is safe with us.

Fuel Price Bleating and Biking
Tue, 27 May 2008 10:17:26 +0100
England swings like a pendulum do!
There's another fuel price protest and the coverage in the London press is pretty biased, with occasional balanced reports and very rare dissenting opinion.
One of the favourite whines on news-and-nutters phone-ins is "waah, I live in a village, I need my car". While that's true for some people, most villagers could switch to bicycles for many journeys without problems.
At the moment, the biggest problem with cycling to town is the number of cars on the small lanes, followed by the number of potholes. Switching to cycling or walking will have a triple benefit: fewer cars on the road will free up space for cycling, wear the roads out less and reduce fuel demand (so petrol should become cheaper for those who really need it).
Over the last few days, I've been happy to read Bike The Drive 2008 [Dirk Eddelbuettel], Mountainbike, By Joerg Jaspert and How to Start Bicycling to Work, by John Goerzen.
A couple of tweaks to that last one: in England, I don't think that a cycling helmet is necessary. I've not worn one for the last few months (it went mouldy after a rain storm) - I find I can hear traffic better and many drivers seem to give me more room on the road. I wonder if helmet-wearing "dehumanises" cyclists to drivers? The safety data seems rather confused, but it's a personal choice. If you feel safer with a helmet, wear one. I also wear ordinary business or casual clothes, relying on a good quality commuter saddle rather than cycling shorts. I suspect that drivers here are developing a sort of blindness to the "screaming yellow" hi-vis jackets, so I don't wear those - but sometimes I wear hi-vis reflective armbands if I'm wearing black in the dark. I agree completely with the comments on that page about being predictable, Cateye lights and pannier bags.
Finally, Bike Week 2008 starts on 14 June, which would be an ideal time to try a group ride - or just get a free breakfast for cycling into town.
Update: Wheelism: How To Commute By Bicycle and Drake.org.uk: The Pushbike Song - it's a veritable wave!

A choice of Rare Breeds Poultry or Simply Chickens for the Garden
(Based in Congleton, Cheshire)
Garden Chickens now available coming up to point of lay
Updated 28th March 2019
I started out with just my 6 Blackrock hens for some fresh eggs, but soon, as it would seem happens when you own a few chickens my collection grew! I started collecting some different variety's and rare breeds became a favorite. Eventually I started to organise some unrelated trios etc for breeding and hatching eggs, so, what started out as a small hobby soon became a rather large project!
I now specialise in both the everyday garden chicken for those of us that like our own fresh eggs and Rare Breed poultry for the more adventurous.
Please feel free to contact me for any information/advise and if I am able I will be glad to help.
All pictures on this website are taken by me and are all photographs of my own stock birds Please ask for permission for use of the photos.
Customer Review:
I was very impressed by both your virtual and actual set ups. Your website has wonderful photos of your lovely birds and is informative, easy to navigate and kept up to date. You have a great natural and open setting for your excellent quality, healthy and relaxed birds that you evidently raise with great care, enthusiasm and knowledge.Thank you so much for all your help in selecting our chickens - a hard task when you have such a varied and interesting collection at very reasonable prices. We are delighted with the pair of wonderful gold campines that we last got from you, the children love holding them and they have settled in beautifully with the rest of our flock. We are so pleased to have found such a reputable, reliable breeder and are happy repeat customers despite you being such a distance from us - it is well worth the journey.

The items that are added to the balance per bank when doing a bank reconciliation include (1) deposits in transit, and (2) bank errors that when corrected by the bank will increase the balance on the bank statement.
(1) A deposit in transit on the bank reconciliation refers to the cash and checks that have been received by a company as of the ending date of the bank statement, but the cash and checks were not deposited in time for them to appear on the bank statement.
To illustrate deposits in transit, let's assume that your company's accounting period ends on the last day of each month and that your bank statement also ends (or "cuts off") on the last day of each month. When you receive the bank statement ending on January 31, it is likely that its balance will not agree with the January 31 balance in your company's general ledger. One reason for the difference could be that the cash and checks received from customers on January 31 were deposited at the bank too late in the day. (After a specified time on January 31, the bank will record the deposits as of the next business day causing them to appear on the February bank statement.) Another example of a deposit in transit involves a retailer that is open until 9 p.m. on January 31 and deposits the receipts on the morning of February 1. The transactions right up to closing time on January 31 are properly recorded in the company's general ledger as of January 31. However, the deposit will appear on the February bank statement. Since the money from January 31 is indeed part of the company's cash and sales on January 31, the company's general ledger is correct, but the bank statement balance will need to be increased as part of the bank reconciliation process.
(Items that are subtracted from the balance per bank include outstanding checks, and bank errors that when corrected will reduce the bank balance.)
(2) Bank errors involve amounts that were recorded incorrectly by the bank. For example, if a company wrote a check for $89 but the bank coded the check as $98, the bank statement balance will be too low. (The bank deducted $9 too much from the account, and therefore, the bank owes the customer $9.) When the bank makes the correction, the bank balance will increase by $9.00. This adjustment should appear on the bank reconciliation as an addition to the balance per bank.
If a company deposits $97 and the bank records the deposit as $79, the bank added $18 too little into the account...the bank owes the company $18. When the bank makes the correction, the bank statement balance will increase by $18. The company's general ledger has the correct amount recorded, but the bank has the incorrect balance on the bank statement. Hence the balance per bank needs to be increased by $18.
Tip: For determining whether a bank error will be an addition or a deduction on the bank reconciliation, be sure to think in terms of the change in the balance of the bank account. Both of the bank errors described above caused the bank balance to be too low. The correction of each of these errors will result in an increase to the balance per bank.

I work with a high school dropout who's an absolute genius at making money. When you talk to this guy about anything, or bring up any subject at all, he goes off on these bottomless riffs about how things can be "monetized." I'm talking about anything. You see one of these hot Manhattan girls walking down the street, he can monetize her ass without her ever even knowing it. Just ask him, and he'll tell you.
I know he knows what he's talking about, because he's made tons of money for other people. I also know he knows his shit because I can't even begin to understand most of the stuff he tells me about. My eyes glaze over. His concepts are so fucking brilliant that they put me to sleep. I wish I had his ability to think of everything in the world as a way to make money.
He's also a very nice guy, and I like working with him—and that's not a disclaimer because I think he's reading this. He's not, and he never will. I actually mean what I'm saying about him.
I pointed out the fact that he's a high school dropout in the opening sentence because he's shown a rather frightening lack of command of what I'll refer to as the "basic body of knowledge." I seem to know some very rudimentary, fundamental things about the world that seem foreign to him. Like time zones. He doesn't know what time zones are when he sees them on paper, and he doesn't understand the notation you're supposed to use when you're in one time zone, someone else is in another, and you're trying to tell that person when a meeting is being scheduled. Our text conversation on Sunday went something like this (starting with his part):
"Can you be available for an interview at 11 EST on Monday? The girl said she could do it anytime after 9:30 EST."
"Sure, no problem."
"I'm going to be in Texas, so that's like 9 EST my time. So does 11 EST work for you?"
"I want to interview that girl at 11 EST on Monday."
"Yeah, I got that. So is it 11 or 9?"
"11 your time, 9 my time."
"So 11 EST my time, but 9 EST your time?"
"Yes. Thx."
All of which, of course, leads us to a discussion of what in life, exactly, is important to know. Me being me, I sit back and laugh when I see someone who doesn't know what the EST notation stands for when giving someone a time for an appointment. He, in turn, couldn't give a flying fuck because it hasn't ever prevented him from becoming very wealthy. Who's right?
Well, on some level, it's definitely not me—at least in terms of the ability to make money. I mean, shit—this blog still gets more daily traffic than websites people have actually managed to make their living from. I'd try to tell this guy that I didn't start doing this—or keep doing this—to make money, and he'd just walk away thinking I was a world class fucking dumbass for not taking advantage of my cash flow potential when I could have. Writing practice? Learning a skill? What the fuck is that?
You know what? He'd be right if he said these things, at least to a point. Back when this thing was kicking, so to speak, I could have made a killing through ad sales, Adwords, and affiliate marketing. I know that now. Back then? Eh. I really couldn't have cared less at the time. Still can't, pretty much. I know he wouldn't be able to come to grips with my irresponsible commitment to God-knows-what, so I don't mention this shit show around him.
Would I want to go through life cash-and-asset rich without knowing what the different time zones are when I see them on paper? Not knowing who the Vice President of the United States is? Not knowing the capitol of my home state? Thinking that calling someone a "looser" is a legitimate pejorative?
I don't know, really. I'm not sure where one goes from there. I suppose you learn your niche—from what I can gather, he's one of the best in the world at what he does—and make tons of money. Once you've done that, I guess you're free to go out and learn about time zones, geography, and spelling. If you're interested, anyway.
That's always been my issue with these wealthy guys I know from Long Island—the ones with multiple Jet Ski docks, Belgian block driveways, and fugazi view-of-nothing balconies they need to contort themselves and snake through bedroom windows to access. How many fountains do you need to install on a postage stamp lawn before you realize that your his-and-hers Hummers and that Mary-on-the-Halfshell you're so proud of can't disguise the fact that you can't carry on a conversation without sounding like a monumental buffoon?
I want money like anyone else, but I don't want that.
Anyway, this guy isn't like that, so I don't want to come off like I'm saying he is. His little time zone faux pas has had me off on this tangent for the past day or so. I guess the happy medium, if there is one in this case, is to be very good at what you do, with at least some grasp of that basic body of knowledge. Barring that, you can at least avoid being an asshole—which this guy has managed masterfully. That's a good start.

Citation: Grimm, C.C., Lloyd, S.W., Godshall, M.A., Braggins, T.J. 2004. Screening for sensory quality in foods using solid phase micro-extraction tandem mass spectrometry. Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. 11:167-174
Interpretive Summary: An alternative technique for detecting trace levels of odor causing compounds in foods is presented. Conventional trace level analysis involves the initial separation of the individual compounds employing a technique known as gas chromatography, followed by detection using mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In this report, separation and detection are accomplished by two stages of mass spectrometry, a technique known as tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) The screening of odor-causing compounds present at concentrations at the parts per billion level was accomplished in water, rice and sugar. This research will benefit quality control researchers and ultimately the consumer by providing a more consistent, safer product.
Technical Abstract: An ion trap mass spectrometer was connected to an injection port with a 25 cm length of capillary column. Using the ion trap in MS/MS mode, a technique was developed to screen for the presence of trace level compounds in food and water using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME). Twelve rice samples were screened for the presence of two flavor indicators, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and indole, and the results compared to the SPME/GC/MS data for the same rice samples. Indole and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline can be detected at the ppb level. In water, trace levels of 2-methylisoborneol can be detected at ppb level. Sample collection time was typically ten minutes/sample and analysis time was as short as one minute.

Unbeaten run stretches to five games against the title favourites Worcester as the lads showed they are a match for anyone in this league. Stourbridge had the better of the first 40 mins, dominating possession and creating more chances than Worcester who were restricted to one attempt on goal. the first half finished deservedly 1-0 to Stourbridge after Jimmy put an excellent corner into the six yard box for Dan Harvey to guide a headed ball into the far corner of the Worcester Goal.
The third quarter was Worcester's best period, playing some very good attacking football putting plenty of pressure on the Stourbridge goal and causing Joe to pull off two excellent saves. Worcester were rewarded with an excellent goal by their no.10 who received the ball on his right foot turned and struck an excellent shot with his left, a great goal!
The final quarter was very even and competitive but we had a 5 minute spell where Dan could have got a 2nd but hit over and Jimmy found the keeper from distance.
The game finished 1-1 probably a fair result on reflection and home and away draws shows our progress.
Well done lads - so pleased for Matt and James stepping in my absence and doing such a fine job. Interesting couple of weeks ahead with top 3 all playing each other

Barrow in Kellys 1879 Directory.
Barrow is a parish in the Western division of the County, Thingoe Hundred and Union. The village is half a mile in length; at the south end it opens into a large green. It is 81 miles from London, via Bury, 6 west from Bury St Edmunds and 2 south from Higham station, on the Bury and Newmarket railway, which passes through the entire width of the parish.
The church of All Saints is an old building, with tower containing five bells, erected apparently at the time of Henry VIII, with some parts older. The register dates from 1542.
There is a small Congregational chapel, built in 1836; and a Primitive Methodist chapel.
Near Barrow Hall is a moat, enclosing the site of the ancient manor house, now a farm.

How the highest-paid NW CEOs stack up
It's a threepeat for Howard Schultz, who again is the highest-paid chief executive among Northwest public companies. Shareholders may feel they got their money's worth.

CEO pay and company performance
FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR, Howard Schultz is the highest-paid chief executive among Northwest public companies.
The chairman, president and CEO of Starbucks earned $16 million in 2011, most of it in the form of stock and options. He got a 7.7 percent raise in his base salary, to $1.4 million, and a $3 million cash bonus.
On paper at least, Schultz took a 26 percent cut in total pay: His total compensation in 2010 was $21.7 million. But the board in 2011 also granted Schultz a $12 million special "retention" stock award that vests in three years if the company remains profitable.
Starbucks itself had an outstanding year: It rang up $3 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time, booked a record annual profit of more than $1.2 billion and delivered a 46 percent total shareholder return.
"Howard's pay reflects both competitive considerations and the unique value of his leadership to Starbucks shareholders, which was demonstrated again in our record 2011 results," the company said in a statement.
Shareholders may feel they got their money's worth.
"Investors in Starbucks did four times as well as investors in the Nasdaq," said Fred Whittlesey, an executive-compensation consultant on Bainbridge Island.
Overall, the 2011 median total pay of the top executives at 115 publicly traded companies based in Washington, Oregon and Idaho was $1.66 million, according to an analysis conducted by Equilar, an executive-compensation consulting firm, for The Seattle Times.
Median CEO pay was 11 percent higher than in 2010 at the 91 companies where the CEO was in place for two full years.
In the world of executive pay, how much the CEO makes is tricky to pin down. The majority of compensation for most top executives comes from stock and options that may be granted now but cashed in years later, so those components could eventually prove worthless — or be worth considerably more than the current estimate.
The biggest bucks for Schultz lie in options he's held for years, so they don't count in the latest year's Equilar compensation analysis. In 2011, Schultz realized a gain of nearly $37 million from exercising a decade-old option for 1.43 million Starbucks shares.
So while the company reports total pay of $16 million, Schultz's realized income from Starbucks — what he'll owe income taxes on — was more than $41 million.
That $41 million made Schultz the nation's ninth-highest paid CEO in 2011 among 817 Russell 3000 companies based on cash and income realized from stock and options, according to GMI Ratings, which analyzed proxies filed through early April.
And the coffee chain's CEO still held vested Starbucks options worth more than $117 million at the end of September, the company reports.
Mark Parker, president and CEO of the Beaverton, Ore.-based athletic footwear and clothing company, received total compensation of about $11 million in 2011.
That consisted of more than $1.5 million in salary, $2.7 million in bonus, $343,000 in profit-sharing and perks, according to the company's regulatory filing. Again, the lion's share came from stock and options, valued at $6.4 million.
Parker's total pay was 16 percent lower than in 2010, mainly because Nike didn't meet three-year performance targets for revenue and earnings per share set in June 2008, before the crisis on Wall Street.
However, in summer 2010, after Nike closed its fiscal year with profit up 28 percent, the board raised Parker's 2011 base salary by 5 percent and awarded him options on 15,000 more shares than in the previous year.
And Nike's board decided to make restricted stock awards an annual affair, instead of once every three years.
"This supports retention of key leaders and succession planning," the company stated in its proxy. Nike didn't respond to requests for comment.
Precision Castparts
It's been a good year for aerospace executives, including the top gun at Precision Castparts, a components manufacturer based in Portland.
CEO Mark Donegan received more than $9.9 million in total pay in the company's latest fiscal year, including more than $1.4 million in base salary, $1.6 million in bonus and options valued at $6.7 million.
His total pay was 28 percent higher than the previous year, largely thanks to stock options and a bonus award he received for beating performance targets for earnings per share and return on assets, the company disclosed in its proxy.
The board, citing Precision Castparts' recent performance and "the effectiveness of Mr. Donegan's continuing leadership," also gave him an 8 percent salary raise. That puts his pay in the top 25 percent of CEOs from peer companies, according to the company's proxy.
The company reported a profit of $1.0 billion last year, up from $922 million in 2010.
Revenue grew to $6.2 billion from $5.4 billion.
Precision Castparts had a total shareholder return of 18.5 percent for calendar-year 2011, compared with a 2.1 percent return for the Standard & Poor's 500.
A Precision Castparts spokesman said the company had no further comment on Donegan's pay package.
Despite the Great Recession, Bellevue-based Paccar has seen strong growth in its truck-manufacturing business globally — and it rewarded its top executives accordingly.
Last year, the company increased profit by 128 percent and dividend payments by 88 percent over 2010.
CEO Mark Pigott's total pay in 2011 was $9.2 million, up 53 percent from $6 million in the prior year, with almost all the increase tied to restricted stock valued at $3.1 million.
The company gave Pigott a 5.2 percent raise to his base salary after three years without a raise, according to its proxy.
Like many other companies, Paccar said it needed to give pay raises to be competitive with its peers.
Paccar said its consultant, Mercer, found that the midpoints of its executive salary structure were "on average 17 percent below the market median and the base salaries for the executive officers were between the market 25th percentile and the median."
In addition to his $1.4 million base salary and $3.1 million in stock, Pigott received $1.5 million in options and $3.1 million from a long-term incentive plan, according to Paccar's proxy.
The company said it had significantly outperformed the S&P 500 index for the 10-year period ending Dec. 31, 2011, delivering 14.6 percent annual average return compared with the S&P's 2.9 percent return.
Micron Technology
The late Steven Appleton, CEO of the Boise-based manufacturer of memory chips, received $8.6 million in total pay in 2011, down 12 percent from the previous year.
His pay consisted of $950,000 in base salary, $775,200 in bonus, options valued at $3.2 million and stock valued at more than $3.6 million, according to Micron's proxy.
Appleton's pay fell due to a drop in his bonus, which is tied to the company hitting performance targets. Micron saw a $167 million profit in 2011, down from $1.85 billion profit in the previous year that boosted his 2010 total pay.
Among the top five highest paid CEOs of Northwest companies, Appleton had the highest percentage of his total pay consisting of equity — 80 percent, according to Equilar.
Appleton, an avid pilot, died in February when an experimental plane he was flying crashed shortly after takeoff in Boise.

Reconstruction works of heritage sites yet to begin
- seven months since quake
-, , Kathmandu
Nov 28, 2015-
Even after seven months after the massive earthquake which destroyed the country's prized heritage monuments, the government's reconstruction plans have remained on paper only.
According to the Department of Archaeology, it is yet to receive any budget from the government for rebuilding the heritage sites.
DoA spokesperson Ram Bahadur Kunwar said that the National Planning Commission has asked the department to submit its reconstruction plan so that budget could be allocated for the same.
A total of 750 historical, cultural and religious monuments in 20 districts were damaged by the April 25 earthquake and its aftershocks.
Among them, 133 were completely destroyed while 617 were partially damaged.
The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment report prepared by NPC had estimated Rs20.56 billion for rebuilding the damaged monuments.
All of Valley's seven sites, which were included in the World Heritage List in 1979 for their archaeological, historical, cultural and religious significance, sustained damage in the April 25 earthquake. Among them Swayambhunath Stupa, Changu Narayan Mandir and durbar squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur suffered considerable damage with many structures reduced to rubble.
The temple-filled durbar squares were major tourist destinations. As Nepal heavily relies on tourism, reconstruction of such heritage sites at the earliest could help boost tourism, experts say.
In a bid to woo back tourists, the three durbar squares, which date back as far as the 12th century, were reopened to the public in the second week of June, but the UN cultural agency had cautioned that the earthquake-damaged structures could pose a threat to visitors.
Experts have warned that ignoring such monuments which are of great archaeological significance could cost the country dear.
"Serious mistakes were made in the past when it came to our conservation efforts," said Kosh Prasad Acharya, a heritage expert and former director general of DoA. "We lost so many monuments to the earthquake because of negligence on our part."
The government in this year's budget had allocated Rs 2billion for the reconstruction of archaeological structures, while a separate heritage fund was also envisioned for the purpose. But actual reconstruction work is yet to start.
Bulldozers and heavy excavators were used to clear the debris from the heritage sites, which experts say was a wrong move. Professor Robin Cunningham of Durham University, who was involved in excavation at the durbar squares, said the heavy machineries had further weakened other structures. Such modern interventions at archaeological sites pose serious risk to traditional designs, said Cunningham. Pipes and sewer lines were found while digging these archaeological sites, he added.
After seven months since the earthquake, DoA officials hope that reconstruction work would begin shortly.
The department has completed all preparations, said the officials.
The department has made arrangements with other government agencies like the Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust, Timber Corporation of Nepal, Kathmandu Metropolitan City among others, for procuring timber, crafted bricks and other materials for the reconstruction. DoA is also
hiring and training civil engineers, architects, masons, carpenters and sculptors for the purpose.
Similarly, DoA has finished conducting an archaeological risk management map of the three durbar squares in the Kathmandu Valley.
After using ground penetrating radar equipment and overseeing several rounds of excavations, detailed layout of archaeological features of Patan, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu durbar squares have been prepared, according to DoA.
Preliminary findings of the survey show that several structures like Kasthamandap in Basantapur and Char Narayan Mandir in Patan have solid foundations which can be reused while some temples like Batsala Devi in Bhaktapur have suffered major design flaws.
Compared to other structures, Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple suffered had remained largely intact.
Donor conference to rebuild Gorkha
The Donor Agencies' conference on reconstruction for quake-hit Gorkha district kicked off in Pokhara on Friday.
The conference is expected to devise short, medium and long-term reconstruction plans to rebuild the quake-ravaged villages in Gorkha.
Representatives from various government agencies, and national and international donor agencies are participating in the conference. On the first day of the conference, the donor agencies' representatives urged for immediate formation of Reconstruction Authority to begin the reconstruction projects. They expressed concern over the delay in the endorsement of the National Reconstruction Authority Bill though seven months have passed since the April 25 earthquake.
Nepali Congress Gorkha Chapter President Hari Ghale said that as many as 13,000 quake-hit persons in Gorkha were still awaiting for the reconstruction projects to begin in their villages. Chief District Officer of Gorkha Uddav Prasad Timilsena said separate strategy will be formulated in view of reconstruction in Gorkha upon the formation of the Reconstruction Authority.
The conference will also dwell and discuss about the rescue and relief operations undertaken so far as well as about the budget the donor agencies have allocated for reconstruction.

Self Feeder
Welcome back! After the long August break and the mind-blistering speed that comes with the start of school we're finally back in the saddle again and we're starting with a BANG!
Before I go on I need to say thanks to everyone who participated in Fresh Fish – everyone did a phenomenal job. The spirit was sweet and I think the people of our church began to catch the idea that you're not just a volunteer; you're on mission with God and one another! I hope as this semester unfolds you will pursue your mission with God with your whole heart, that you won't hold anything back, but that every week you'll go home exhausted and spent, not because of wasted or pointless effort, but because you are pouring yourself out on the altar of sacrifice in the service of the faith of others. As you do, you may go home tired and spent, but you will also go home filled and excited because of all the great things God has accomplished through you. It's amazing the strength that comes from pouring yourself out for God's sake and the faith of others.
This brings me to my thought for the day – and for this season really; SELF FEEDER. Doctors tell us that in the 21st Century medicine won't be about curing disease, it will be about preventing it. Scientific discovery is moving at a remarkable rate. Did you know that by 2010 (3 short years from now) the amount of knowledge and information available to our world will DOUBLE every 72 hours. That means every 3 days you'll be behind the learning curve. Einstein said, "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist, using technologies that haven't yet been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet."
With this abundance of knowledge and scientific discovery Doctors tell us that the greatest challenge to making people healthy won't be our ability to cure disease it will be changing the CHOICES, LIFESTYLES and HABITS of people so they never get those diseases in the first place – in others words it's about INDIVIDUALS taking RESPONSIBILITY for their OWN health in order to prevent disease rather than trying to cure it.
The same is true for you as a Believer and for our CHURCH. There seem to be four stages people go through in their spiritual journey. There are those who are Exploring Christ – they may not be Believers yet, but they're searching for the truth. There are those who are Growing in Christ – these are relatively new Believers who generally have a hunger for God's Word, but don't yet know how to feed themselves. There are the Close to Christ – these are more mature Believers who know the basics of feeding themselves but still often are tripped up by the temptations of the world. Finally there are the Christ-Centered. We would call these people fully devoted followers of Christ. Generally, they are self feeders. They have grown close to Christ in their walk, not simply because of the assistance of their church, but because they have learned to pray, study, meditate and memorize Scripture as well as how to apply it to their lives…thus the words SELF FEEDER.
I wonder where you are in this spiritual continuum. As you evaluate yourself keep some things in mind.
1. Don't CONDEMN yourself if you're not where you think you should be. Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now NO condemnation to those who are in Christ." Don't make yourself a harsher judge than God himself.
2. Don't OVER ESTIMATE how much you know. The Bible says, "Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies." Spiritual maturity is not about what you know. It's about what you DO and how and why you do it.
3. COMMIT to take whatever steps are necessary to move to the next level. This is what SELF FEEDING is all about. The church is here to help. There are a thousand programs, Bible Studies, Worship Services, Support Groups,
4. Finally CONSIDER one another in order to stir up love and good works. That's Hebrews 10. As you grow into a fully devoted follower of Christ your love for people should increase. None of us can make it on our own. As you self feed on the spiritual disciplines seek out someone who is one step ahead of you, someone you can learn from and imitate. At the same time prayerfully consider those around you, those you may be one step ahead of. Make yourself available to them. Be someone they can come to for answers. Be someone they can imitate.
This season we're going to dive in and learn to become self feeders. It's going to be an exciting journey. I'm excited that we get to take it together!
Love y'all, God Bless,
