text: 10 Driving Habits That Can Cost You July 21, 2017 Even the most skilled, experienced drivers can cause accidents on the road. But a driver with bad habits? That can turn deadly in seconds. Avoid these dangerous driving mistakes by keeping focus and patience top of mind every time you're behind the wheel: 10 Driving Habits That Could Cost You Speeding. For over two decades, driving too fast has contributed to approximately one-third of all fatal crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In Arizona, 300 people were killed in speed-related accidents in 2015. Even if you're running late, it's not worth risking a ticket, let alone your life. Allowing distractions. In 2015, distracted drivers in Kansas contributed to nearly $630 million in accident costs. Distractions include using a navigation device or app, having intense conversations, grooming, watching a video or adjusting the radio. Distractions are a particularly common issue among teen drivers, who are often tempted by social media, games and music apps. Click here for more tips to avoid driving distractions. Texting while driving. Did you know that at 55 mph, the average text takes your eyes off the road long enough to cover the length of a football field? Texting takes your attention — and your eyes — off the road for a dangerous amount of time. In most cases, the text can wait — plus, most states have banned texting while driving. If you must read or respond to a text, pull over. Ignoring weather conditions. In a place like Minnesota, where weather conditions can change quickly, adapting behind the wheel and slowing down is crucial. Poor driving conditions can lead to accidents big and small so it's important to adjust your driving skills accordingly. Driving while intoxicated. People ages 15 to 24 have the highest traffic-related death rate in New Mexico — and drunk driving is a leading cause of these accidents — with alcohol involved in one-third of the state's fatal crashes. If you've been drinking, your best bet is to hitch a ride from someone sober. Failing to check your blind spot. Weaving in and out of lanes without checking your blind spot could result in a serious crash. Check your rear-view mirrors and over your shoulder every time you switch lanes. Not wearing a seat belt. Wearing a seat belt is one of the smartest and most important things you can do behind the wheel as it can save your life. If you need motivation, most states have laws or fines associated with seat belt use. In Nebraska, for example, it'll cost you $25 if you're caught not wearing it. But if you're in a serious crash without a seat belt, it can cost you your life. Fatigue. Extreme tiredness is another contributing factor to most crash-related injuries in New Mexico. Drowsy driving can be just as fatal as drunk driving — your awareness, reaction time and judgment are compromised when you're in need of sleep. Following too closely. You can usually control how close you get to the car in front of you. But drivers often follow too close. Following other drivers too closely can result in an accident. Strive to follow greater than two car lengths' distance from the vehicle in front of you. Disobeying signs and signals. Ever sped through a red light or rolled through a stop sign? Such behavior contributed to more than 2,000 crashes in Kansas alone in 2015. These bad habits are not only dangerous — they're against the law. When you enroll in Driveology, you'll be practicing the science of safe driving, using technology that helps you better understand your daily driving habits. Over time, safe driving could help you qualify for discounts on your auto premium. Win-win!

Corporate Governance Statement and Report
Corporate governance encompasses the entire system of management and supervision within a company. In particular, this includes organisation, internal and external systems of control and monitoring as well as guidelines relating to business policy. Good corporate governance promotes trust among investors, customers and employees as well as the general public, which is a key factor in the long-term success of a company.
A. Corporate governance statement pursuant to Section 289f of the German Commercial Code
I. Relevant corporate governance practices
Corporate governance at SIMONA AG (hereinafter referred to as "SIMONA"), as an exchange-listed German stock corporation, is determined primarily by the requirements of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG) and the provisions within the German Corporate Governance Code in its amended version. Beyond this, readers are kindly requested to refer to the organisational procedures and measures outlined in the combined management report of SIMONA Group and SIMONA AG under the headings "Internal control system", "Risk management system", "Internal control system (ICS) relating to financial reporting – Report pursuant to Section 289(4) and Section 315(4) HGB" and "Quality". The Group management report can be accessed at www.simona.de under Company/Investor Relations/Financial Calendar & Reports/Financial Reports. Other elements of corporate governance include the system of management encompassing the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the appointment of shareholder and staff representatives to the Supervisory Board under the provisions of Sections 96(1) AktG and Section 4 of the One-Third Participation Act (Drittelbeteiligungsgesetz) concerning employee representation on the Supervisory Board as well as shareholders' rights of co-administration and supervision at the General Meeting of Shareholders.
As a global plastics processing company, SIMONA is acutely aware of the considerable responsibility it has towards the environment, its customers and business partners, its employees, its financing partners and investors, and the general public at all of its sites. In the context of these social responsibilities, it is also imperative that we abide by applicable laws at all times and wherever we operate, while also respecting fundamental ethical values and behaving in an exemplary manner. These responsibilities must be embraced by each and every one of us, be it our Management Board, our executives or our members of staff. Further information relating to compliance and the company's code of conduct can be found at www.simona.de under Company/Investor Relations/Corporate Governance/Compliance. The non-financial statement in accordance with Section 289b to Section 298e HGB, containing information on environment, energy, social and employee-related matters as well as respect for human rights and anti-corruption and bribery matters has been included in the combined Group management report and can be accessed at www.simona.de under Company/Investor Relations/Financial Calendar & Reports/Financial Reports.
II. Description of the procedural methods adopted by the Management Board and Supervisory Board – Composition and duties of committees
The Management Board acts as the executive body of SIMONA; it is responsible for directing the company with the aim of achieving profitable growth for the purpose of safeguarding the company's future in the long term. The Supervisory Board is strictly separated from the executive body as regards the specific members appointed to the respective bodies. The Supervisory Board appoints, supervises and advises the Management Board. In the interests of the company, the Management Board and Supervisory Board work in cooperation with each other on a basis of trust and in a manner that is conducive to an exchange of information.
Management Board
The Management Board develops the corporate strategy and ensures that this strategy is implemented accordingly. It is responsible for formulating company policy, planning investments, sales and human resources as well as managing the respective areas of business. Ordinary Management Board meetings are convened by the Chairman of the Management Board. SIMONA uses the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a strategic management and monitoring instrument. Within this context, the Management Board is responsible for the corporate goals, as well as being accountable for regularly reviewing the efficacy of the BSC process as part of an overall assessment of the management system and initiating adjustments to the BSC process and the corporate goals. The BSC cascades down to the company's other management levels.
In accordance with the company's Articles of Association, the Management Board consists of at least two members and has assigned individual duties relating to specific areas of management.
Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board discharges its duties under legal regulations and the company's Articles of Association. It regularly advises the Management Board on issues relating to the governance of the company, in addition to assessing and monitoring its management activities. It reviews the company's risk management and compliance. The Supervisory Board convenes regularly as part of scheduled and, where necessary, extraordinary meetings; where required it may also convene without the Management Board being present. In accordance with Section 96(1) of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG), Section 4 of the One-Third Participation Act (Drittelbeteiligungsgesetz) and Section 13 of the Articles of Association of SIMONA AG, the Supervisory Board of SIMONA AG is comprised of four members representing the shareholders and two members representing the staff of the Company.
From its members, the Supervisory Board has established an Audit Committee and a Personnel Committee. The committees regularly provide the Supervisory Board with extensive information relating to their activities. The Audit Committee is responsible mainly for addressing issues relating to accounting and year-end auditing, risk management and acquisitions. The principal duties of the Personnel Committee are centred around compensation as well as the conclusion, amendment and termination of Management Board members' employment contracts.
Information relating to the current composition of the committees can be accessed at www.simona.de (Company/Investor Relations/Key Facts/Management Board and Supervisory Board).
Profile of skills and expertise
The Supervisory Board has defined the following profile of skills and expertise for members of the Supervisory Board. It outlines key requirements with regard to professional expertise, skills and experience as well as in respect of personal credentials and integrity:
The Supervisory Board is committed to ensuring that its members are individuals of integrity who embrace the principles of the social market economy and possess expertise and extensive experience in managing and/or advising commercial enterprises or entities closely affiliated with the business sector. Among the preferred credentials are experience and specialist knowledge relating to the company's principal fields of activity. The Supervisory Board should include, at the very least, one independent financial expert as well as, at the very least, one member whose professional track record suitably reflects the international nature of the company. Additionally, the aim is to ensure that at least half of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board are independent. Potential candidates should not hold advisory or governance roles at significant competitors, customers or suppliers. The age limit agreed at the time of elections to the Supervisory Board shall also be taken into consideration when selecting candidates.
Cooperation between Management Board and Supervisory Board
The Management Board and Supervisory Board consult with each other concerning the strategic direction of the company and regularly discuss the status of strategy implementation. The Supervisory Board is directly involved in all decision-making processes of fundamental importance to the company. The Management Board informs the Supervisory Board as part of regular written and verbal reports, furnished in a timely and comprehensive manner. The reports focus in particular on issues relating to corporate planning, the strategy, the course of business and the position of SIMONA AG and its subsidiaries, including the risk situation, risk management, compliance and transactions of significant importance to the company.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board regularly maintains contact with the Management Board, also in between meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees, for the purpose of discussing issues relating to strategy, current business development and performance as well as risk management, in addition to consulting with the Management Board on specific issues and decisions considered to be of significance. The Supervisory Board also deliberates on the implementation of the provisions and recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code within the company and, where applicable, initiates measures aimed at fulfilling the new requirements, working in close cooperation with the Management Board.
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board have drawn up by-laws for the purpose of specifying the responsibilities of the Management Board and collaboration with the Supervisory Board. Among other aspects, the by-laws govern the individual duties and areas of competence, as well as determining transactions that are subject to prior approval.
III. Declaration of Conformity
Pursuant to Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG), the supervisory board and management board of exchange-listed stock corporations are obliged to issue at least once per year a declaration stating that the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code have been and will continue to be complied with or, if applicable, specifying which recommendations have not been or will not be applied, as well as outlining the reason for non-compliance. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board most recently issued the following Declaration of Conformity on 22 February 2019:
"Since the last Declaration of Conformity issued on 23 February 2018, SIMONA AG (hereinafter referred to as "SIMONA") has complied and continues to comply with the recommendations of the Government Commission of the German Corporate Governance Code in the applicable version of 7 February 2017, with the exception of the following departures:
Section 3.8 paragraph 3 – D&O insurance deductible for Supervisory Board
Explanation: The Supervisory Board discharges the duties incumbent upon it with the utmost sense of responsibility. A deductible in respect of D&O insurance would represent no improvement and would provide no additional incentive.
Section 4.2.3 paragraph 4 sentences 1 and 3 – Severance pay cap
Explanation: The current Management Board contracts include no provisions for capping in respect of payments made to a Management Board member on premature termination of his/her contract. The Supervisory Board deems as inappropriate the use of such a severance pay cap.
Section 4.2.5 paragraph 3 – Itemised presentation of Management Board compensation
Explanation: On 10 June 2016, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of SIMONA agreed by the requisite majority of three-quarters to disclose Management Board compensation in an aggregated format, divided into fixed and performance-related components, rather than disclosing each amount by name. Therefore, no itemised presentation for each Management Board member, detailing specific compensation parameters and using the recommended model tables, shall be provided by the company.
Section 5.3.3 – Nomination Committee within Supervisory Board
Explanation: The shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board already discuss nominations on a separate basis. Therefore, in the Supervisory Board's opinion the formation of a Nomination Committee is unnecessary given the fact that the Supervisory Board only consists of four shareholder representatives.
Section 5.4.1 paragraphs 2 and 3 – Diversity concept regarding composition of Supervisory Board and regular limit regarding term of office
Explanation: The Supervisory Board supports the fundamental importance of diversity to the company with regard to its composition. However, contrary to the recommendations set out in Section 5.4.1 of the Code, the Supervisory Board has decided against specifying concrete objectives in the form of quotas or absolute figures. As regards its nominations submitted to the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board primarily takes into consideration the individual abilities, knowledge and professional experience of male and female candidates. With this in mind, no regular limit with regard to length of membership for members of the Supervisory Board has been defined. The Supervisory Board is of the opinion that, in particular, the expertise of experienced Supervisory Board members with a proven track record spanning many years and a demonstrable understanding of the industry and enterprise should be made available to the company.
Section 5.4.6 paragraph 1 sentence 2 - Remuneration for Chair of Supervisory Board committees
Explanation: The Articles of Association of SIMONA include provisions outlining special compensation in respect of the role of chairperson and deputy chairperson of the Supervisory Board. Additionally, membership of Supervisory Board committees is subject to special compensation. By contrast, no separate compensation is payable in respect of the chairmanship of a committee, and such a policy is not deemed necessary at present.
Section 7.1.2 sentence 4, first half sentence – Publication deadline for consolidated financial statements
Explanation: SIMONA publishes its consolidated financial statements in compliance with statutory schedules of disclosure. Owing to the procedures defined for the preparation of financial statements, the aim being to deliver the greatest possible transparency and accuracy, earlier publication would not be feasible.
Kirn, 22 February 2019
Supervisory Board and Management Board"
IV. Notes to specifications made pursuant to Section 76(4) and Section 111(5) AktG
At its meeting on 20 April 2017, the Supervisory Board set its target figures for the Supervisory Board and the Management Board of one female member on each board. The targets are to be achieved by 30 June 2022.
As regards the first managerial level below the Management Board, the Management Board of SIMONA AG has specified 25 per cent as its target figure, while the target figure for the second managerial level below the Management Board has been set at 20 per cent. Both targets are to be achieved by 30 June 2022.
V. Diversity concept
The Supervisory Board and Management Board support the fundamental idea of diversity as regards their composition and the importance of this concept to the company. The Supervisory Board has defined the following profile of skills and expertise for members of the Supervisory Board. It outlines key requirements with regard to professional expertise, skills and experience as well as in respect of personal credentials and integrity.
In addition, target figures for the number of women on the Supervisory Board and Management Board and an age limit for members of the Supervisory Board and Management Board were adopted. Beyond this, no formal diversity concept has been adopted to date, as the Supervisory Board primarily takes into consideration the individual abilities, knowledge and professional experience of male and female candidates in respect of its nominations submitted to the General Meeting. With this in mind, no regular limit with regard to length of membership for members of the Supervisory Board has been defined. The Supervisory Board is of the opinion that, in particular, the expertise of experienced Supervisory Board members with a proven track record spanning many years and a demonstrable understanding of the industry and enterprise should be made available to the company.

Networking and
Informational INTERVIEWING
General Information
An informational interview, simply put, is the act of networking. It is asking questions of the professionals in your network, appreciating their advice, allowing them to introduce you to others, and keeping them posted as your career evolves. As you build your career, you'll find that the relationships you develop are as important, and sometimes more important, than the qualifications highlighted on your resume. Introduce yourself to the ideas of networking and informational interviewing by reviewing the following handouts:
Accessibility Statement: The documents contain accessibility barriers. If you need help in accessing the information, please contact (415) 338-1761 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Some students feel uncomfortable about asking for a networking contact. In reality, you'll find many professionals who are happy to discuss their career insights with you.
Networking is not:
- Asking for a job
- Cold calling someone you don't know
- Delivering a slick salesperson's pitch
- Kissing up
Networking is:
- Talking with other people who have interests similar to your own
- Asking for an expert opinion on your qualifications
- Conversing with professionals about an industry of common interest
- Expressing your genuine intentions and motivations
First talk with everyone you know to see if they are, or know someone who is, affiliated with your area of interest. Your initial contacts might include:
- Supervisors
- Club advisers
- Family & friends
- Professors
- Neighbors
- SF State alumni
- Professional organization members
- Career Center staff
- College peers
- Speakers from panel discussions
- Socio-religious group and/or fraternity/sorority members
Keep in mind that time is a premium for professionals. When you call your first contact, ask first if she has time to talk. Asking this question immediately communicates that you value her time. Also, be certain that you have a concise "sound bite" or story prepared which clearly explains your intent.
For Example: "My name is Candace Jones. Is this a good time to speak with you for a minute? Bessie Smith, a colleague of yours whom I spoke with recently at a San Francisco State career fair, said you would be an excellent person to talk with to learn more about working in a large investment bank. I'm a senior pursuing a marketing degree. Can I meet with you for 30 minutes sometime next week to discuss some of your insights?"
If your contact is an SF State alumnus, try sending an email as follows: "Hello, this is David Wilson. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Theater from SF State in March and I'm researching film production options in the Bay Area. You attended the university's career fair in March, and I thought you might be able to offer some helpful insights as I prepare to launch my career. I sent you a letter of introduction last week and I am hoping we can arrange a time to speak for a few minutes."
Conducting the Interview
Congratulations! You have connected with your contact and have set up a time to meet. You've been granted 30 minutes, and it's now your job to make productive use of that time. What do you want to learn from this individual?
Informational Interview Questions
- Why did you choose this career? This position?
- What do you do in a typical day?
- Do you like most/least about your job?
- What type of advancement opportunities exist in your field?
- What are the characteristics of successful people in this organization?
- How are goals set and measured?
- What changes do you see occurring in the industry in the next few years?
- What other areas of the organization might I look into? Who should I speak with?
- What might I do to better position myself for opportunities within your organization?
- Would you mind reviewing my resume and offering any advice?
- Can you suggest the names of two or three other people I might contact for more information?
You will notice from the questions above that you never ask for a job in an informational interview. At this point in your job search you are seeking wisdom, tips, strategies, leads, and direction. Directly asking for a job is considered poor etiquette and should be avoided unless your contact brings up the subject with you first.
After the Interview
After each informational interview, write down your reactions and consider how the information fits with other information you have gathered. Evaluate which areas need further exploration or research prior to making decisions and setting goals.
Immediately send a Thank You Letter to your contact. Stay in touch with all your contacts every few months to update them on your status and to inquire if they have heard of any useful news. By all means, let them know when you land an opportunity! They'll be interested in your good news.
It is amazing to witness what happens once job seekers reach out and start talking to contacts. You could be an aspiring bio-scientist and discover through networking that your aunt's next door neighbor's girlfriend is a recruiter at a big firm on the peninsula.
Believe it or not, this type of serendipity happens all the time. Keep in mind that it is not uncommon for an informational interview to turn into a job interview. Always be prepared to respond to the invitation from a contact to launch into your self promotional mode.

text: Ok so I was reading my textbook when I came to 'logical operators' (! && and ||). I understand what they do, but my question is, in what circumstance (examples?) would you want to use the !variable (logical NOT) operator? It seems kind of counter-intuitive. Examples (pref. simple ones) would be great if you have any off the top of your head. Thanks guys!

Vienna, Austria -- Hundreds of angry people living with HIV and AIDS activists marched through the Messe Wien conference center, the site of the 2010 International AIDS Conference, and then staged a mass "die-in." The activists intended to delay the opening ceremony to illustrate how governments around the world are slowing and scaling back their commitments toward Universal Access to HIV care, treatment and prevention. Tombstones, held to remind conference attendees of the 15 million people who are in immediate need of treatment, read "Broken Promises Kill, No Retreat, Fund AIDS." Recently, the U.S. and European governments have pulled back in their support for AIDS care, treatment and prevention and to the fact that governments in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe, have failed to live up to their commitment to fund AIDS treatment and other health needs as laid out in the Abuja Declaration.
The Global Fund (GFATM), the world's response to the AIDS crisis, was forced to adopt 10% budget cuts to the first 2 years of funding, and 25% cuts to for the last 3 years. Michael, Gwaba from the Zambia Community Initiative for Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS & Malaria (CITAM+) and the Here I Am Campaign, said, "There remains a huge funding gap for Round 10, opened in May 2010, which will result in countries scaling back programs and resisting investment in activities with recurrent costs, such as hiring desperately needed health workers or enrolling new patients in treatment."
In 2010, the U.S. Congress paid $1.05 billion to the GFATM -- $1.7 billion less than the U.S. fair share. For 2011, President Obama proposed to cut funding to only $1 billion, even though at least $2 billion is needed from the US to begin to close the GFATM's funding gap.
The demonstration was kicked off with a massive banner drop at the site of the conference. In addition, 4 giant helium filled balloons flew in front of the conference center with the faces of world leaders and demanding full funding to fight global AIDS.
"There are many important discussions that will take place during the International AIDS Conference. However, in order for any of those discussions to have any relevance, ALL conferees must first address the growing crisis in funding for AIDS care and prevention," said Mabel Takana, an AIDS activist with Health GAP from Cameroon.
"The African Union countries have failed to live up to their Abuja commitments on health, and our finance ministers recently suggested that these spending targets should be dismissed altogether. Already, access to HIV treatment is being cut back. Waiting lists are growing. Despite their repeated rhetorical recognition that investment in health is critical for socio-economic development, governments around the world are retreating from their commitments particularly with regards to universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and care," said Paula Akugizibwe from ARASA.
According to Gregory Vergus, Director, "ITPC RU is now receiving daily reports on increasing ARV stock outs across the Russian Federation. The government is refusing to act and is instead threatening limits on continued ARV access."
"International funding for AIDS helps pay for critical support services like housing and food without which people with AIDS -- nor any of us -- could survive. World governments should be ashamed of breaking their promises to people with AIDS," said Charles King, President and CEO, Housing Works.
The activists will continue their actions throughout the duration of the conference.
The action was endorsed by over 200 AIDS organizations from around the world a full list of which is available at www.fundglobalaids.org.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some low quality ingredients
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. This is chicken, inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. As ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is thus unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food but would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. The first true meat ingredient does not occur until 3rd on the ingredient list, suggesting a food that is very lacking in meat content.
A further meat related ingredient is 11th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make any substantial contribution to the meat content of the food. Digest is material which results from chemical and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of clean and undecomposed tissue. Compounding the concern, this ingredient is from unidentifiable 'animal' source. Digest is a low quality ingredient that is not found in high quality products.
The main grains are rice, barley and oatmeal which are good quality grains, but combined would outweigh the meat content by a some margin. Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative"
Tomato pomace is primarily filler. Beet pulp is further filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
There are no fruits/vegetables in the food. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

The Portland Pet Expo™ is Proud to Host a Mega-Adoption Event!
Check out the floor plan in your program when you enter the expo and it will show you exactly where to go. Whether you're looking for a furry, feathered or reptile friend, you'll find one here!
While a number of rescue groups will be participating in the Mega-Adoption Event, they are only able to show you a small percentage of the animals that they have available for adoption. Sadly, there are many more animals in most rescue groups' care than could be brought to one place on one day. You can follow up with these groups after the expo to meet more animals who need good homes.
Each one of our groups have their own adoption guidelines: some may allow you to adopt a pet at the expo and take it home that day; others may require a home visit and an application. Like you, these rescue groups want the best home possible for the pets in their care. If they ask you questions, like whether or not you own your home or if you're employed, it's not because they want to ask you personal questions or embarrass you. They love the animals that are in their care and they want to avoid future heartbreak for everyone involved by making sure that that you're a perfect fit as a forever home right from the start.
If you're looking for a purebred, keep in mind that 40%+ of abandoned pets are purebreds. Rescue group personnel are experts at determining if a specific breed or breed mix would be a good fit for you and your family.
So Why Adopt a Rescue Dog?
... after all, aren't they like used cars? Who wants someone else's problems? If the dog is so wonderful, why would anyone give him away? If he was a stray, why didn't someone try to find him? I'd rather buy a puppy so I know what I'm getting, and besides they're so cute!
Rescue groups often hear a variation of this conversation. Many prospective dog owners are just not convinced that owning an older (6 months+) "pre-owned" dog is better than buying a puppy. But there are a number of reasons why adopting a pet from a rescue that carefully screens and evaluates its dog can provide an even better alternative. Here are the "Top 10 Reasons You Should Consider a Rescue." Remember that this is a general list of pros and cons, and may not be true for every dog (rescue or not) encountered. This is not meant to discourage the purchasing of a puppy over a rescue dog, but is instead outlines the difference between the two when considering a dog.
10) Housebroken. With most family members gone during the work week for 8 hours or more, housetraining a puppy and its small bladder can take awhile. Puppies need a consistent schedule with frequent opportunities to eliminate where you want them to. They can't wait for the boss to finish his meeting or the kids to come home from after school activities. An older dog can "hold it" much more reliably for longer time periods, and usually the rescue has him housebroken before he is adopted.
9) Intact Underwear. With a chewy puppy, you can count on at least 10 mismatched pairs of socks and a variety of unmentionables rendered to the "rag bag" before he cuts every tooth—and don't even think about leaving shoes lying around. Also, you can possibly expect holes in your carpet (along with the urine stains), pages missing from books, stuffing exposed from couches, and at least one dead remote control. No matter how well you watch them, it will happen—it's a puppy's job! An older dog can usually have the run of the house without destroying it.
8) A Good Night's Sleep. Forget the alarm clocks and hot water bottles, a puppy can be very demanding at 2am and 4am and 6am. He or she misses littermates, and that stuffed animal will not make a puppy pile with him. If you have children, you've been there and done that.
7) Finish the Newspaper. With a puppy running amok in your house, do you think you will be able to relax when you get home from work? Do you think your kids will really feed him, clean up the messes, take him for a walk in the pouring rain every hour to get him housetrained? With an adult dog, it will only be the kids running amok, because your dog will be sitting calmly next to you, while your workday stress flows away and your blood pressure lowers as you pet him.
6) Easier Vet Trips. Puppies need their series of shots and fecals, then rabies shots, then a trip to be spayed or neutered, and maybe even an emergency trip or two if they've chewed something dangerous. Puppy visits can add up (on top of what you paid for the dog). Your donation to the rescue when adopting an older pup should get you a dog with all shots current, already altered, and are heartworm negative at the very minimum.
5) What You See Is What You Get. How big will that puppy be? What kind of temperament will he have? Will he be easily trained? Will his personality be what you were hoping for? How active will he be? When adopting an older dog from a rescue, all of those questions are easily answered. You can pick large or small; active or couch potato; goofy or brilliant; sweet or sassy. The rescue and its foster homes can guide you to pick the right match. Rescues are full of puppies who became the wrong match as they got older.
4) Unscarred Children (and Adults). When a puppy isn't teething on your possessions he will be teething on you. Rescues routinely get calls from panicked parents who are sure their dog is biting the children. Since biting implies hostile intent and would be a consideration whether to accept a "give-up." Rescue groups ask questions and usually find out the dog is being nippy. Parents are often too emotional to see the difference; but a growing puppy is going to put everything from food to clothes to hands in their mouths, and as they get older and bigger it definitely hurts (and will get worse, if they aren't being corrected properly.) Most older dogs have "been there, done that, moved on."
3) Matchmaker. Puppy love is often no more than an attachment to a look or a color. It is not much of a basis on which to make a decision that will hopefully last 15+ years. While that puppy may have been the cutest of the litter; he may grow up to be superactive (when what you wanted was a couch buddy); she may be a couch princess (when what you wanted was a tireless hiking companion); he may want to spend every waking moment in the water (while you're a landlubber); or may want to be an only child (while you are intending to have kids or more animals). Pet mismatches are one of the top reasons rescues get "give-up" phone calls. Good rescues do evaluations of both their dogs and their applicants to be sure that both dog and family will be happy with each other until death do them part.
2) Instant Companion. With an older dog, you automatically have a buddy that can go everywhere and do everything with you NOW. There's no waiting for a puppy to grow up (and then hope he will like to do what you enjoy.) You will have been able to select the most compatible dog—one that travels well, one that loves to play with your friends' dogs, one with excellent house manners that you can take to your parents' new home with the new carpet and the new couch. You can come home after a long day's work and spend your time on a relaxing walk, ride or swim with your new best friend.
1) Rescue Dog Bond. Dogs who have been uprooted from their happy homes or have not had the best start in life are more likely to bond very completely and deeply with their new people. Those who have lost their families through death, divorce or lifestyle change go through a terrible mourning process. But, once attached to a new loving family, they seem to want to please as much as possible to make sure they are never homeless again. Those dogs that are just learning about the good life and good people seem to bond even deeper. They know what life on the streets is like, life on the end of a chain, or worse is all about—and they revel and blossom in a loving environment. Most rescues make exceptionally affectionate and attentive pets and extremely loyal companions.
Unfortunately, many folks think dogs that end up in rescue are all genetically and behaviorally inferior. However, it is not uncommon for rescue to get $500 dogs that have either outlived their usefulness or their novelty with impulsive owners who considered their dog a possession rather than a friend or member of the family. They simply did not really consider the time, effort and expense needed to be a dog owner. Not all breeders will accept "returns", so choices for giving up dogs can be limited to animal welfare organizations, such as rescues, or the owners trying to place their own dogs.
Good rescues will evaluate the dog before accepting him/her (medically, behaviorally, and for breed confirmation), rehabilitate if necessary, and adopt the animal only when he/she is ready--and to a home that matches and is realistic about the commitment necessary to provide the dog with the best home possible. Choosing a rescue dog over a purchased pup will not solve the pet overpopulation problem (only responsible pet owners and breeders can do that), but it does give many of them a chance they otherwise would not have. Beyond doing a "good deed", adopting a rescue dog can be the best decision and addition to the family you ever made. Rescued dogs are literally devoted friend for life.

The Nike Air Max 95 keeps the classic design lines of the 1995 original and the forefoot Max Air cushioning that made it famous.
Air Max 95 Origins
Nike's revolutionary Air-Sole unit made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort—suddenly they could see it. Air reached a new milestone in 1995, when the Nike Air Max 95 opened more windows, this time in the forefoot. Known as much for its innovation as for its design lines inspired by human anatomy, the Nike Air Max 95 became a classic the moment it dropped.

Video Of The Week: Jerry Colonna on ThisWeekIn
Back in 1996, at the very start of Flatiron Partners, Jerry Colonna, who started Flatiron with me, introduced me to Jason Calacanis. We hired Jason to do some due diligence for us on a potential investment in Geocities. That's how I met Jason. We went on to buy the first ad in Jason's magazine, Silicon Alley Reporter. Jason and Jerry tell that story at the start of this interview.
The really good stuff happens later on when Jerry gets talking about the emotional side of startups and entrepreneurship. This is another long one, 90mins, but if you can find the time to watch it, I think you'll get a lot out of it.
I recommend fast forwarding to 4:40 so you can avoid all the sponsorship stuff. If you can't watch the whole thing, I would suggest the part between 55mins and 1:05mins. You'll see Jerry in action.

Julie and Julia 2009: A Movie Review
(Meryl Streep as Julia Child. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures.)
There is bread, and there is love. Sometimes there is both. In the upcoming film, Julie and Julia, Stanley Tucci, portraying Paul Child, the adoring husband of Julia, played by Meryl Streep, toasts her, saying: "You are the butter to my bread, the breath to my life." That quote encapsulates the overall tone of the film -- sweet, sincere, and deliciously uplifting.
The film is based on two bestselling memoirs: Julia Child's My Life in France, which was published posthumously, and Julie Powell's Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen.
The film is actually like two films: One tells the story of Julia Child's loving marriage to Paul and her rise to culinary fame in post-WWII France. The other tells the story of Julie Powell, who on the eve of her 30th birthday, gives herself a masochistic gift: Cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. In one year. In her tiny Queens, NY apartment. With a cat. And an unbelievably supportive husband. And blog about it.
(Amy Adams as Julie Powell. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures.)
Meryl Streep is extraordinary as Julia Child. She captures Julia's effervescence perfectly, not to mention her delightful way of saying, "do" as "dooooooo," yet never comes close to caricature. She's so charming that I found myself missing her when she wasn't on the screen.
Amy Adams and Chris Messina, who play Julie and Eric Powell, are well suited as actors. Though Adams has the meatier role, Messina does a fine job of making Eric's role interesting. In fact, at an LA movie-promoting event last week, Powell told Messina that his portrayal of her husband was so spot on, it "was freaky."
Ultimately the movie is a celebration of Julia Child and her remarkable influence on the culinary world. It is also a celebration of food bloggers and aspiring writers. For example, when Julie (Adams) says to Eric (Messina) late in the film, "I'm going to be a writer," he responds, without missing a beat, "You are a writer." (Food bloggers will no doubt be cheering at this point.)
Whether you're a dedicated foodie, a blogger, a Meryl Streep fan, or just a sucker for a good romantic comedy, you'll find much to like about this film. For those of you expecting an exact retelling of Powell's book, which was seasoned with wicked humor and stirred with expletives, just realize that the screenplay is loosely based on the book. As Julie Powell shared with her audience in LA last week, "It's a romantic comedy. It's a sweetened version of reality." Exactly. And like any good romantic comedy, everything works out deliciously at the end. Sort of like a light, sweet, beautifully whipped French meringue.
Julie and Julia opens August 7, 2009. Stay tuned though -- I'll be offering 20 complimentary tickets to an early August 6th screening of the film in LA!

I have been SO looking forward to this movie! Can't wait until it hits our theaters here!

I couldn't get into the book, which I was actually so excited to find at my used book store. Julie's flippant way of dealing with the families of 9/11/01 really bothered me and I actually stopped reading it. I was in my freshman year in NY during 2001/2002, and I had many friends who were full of grief because they lost people who worked in the WTC or who were part of the rescue efforts. Later on I worked with the NY State Museum on an exhibit with recovered objects (including a crushed firetruck), and the amount of feeling that so many people attribute to the event floored me. To pick up this book and see the utter loathing that Julie had for people whose family members are still not fully recovered to this day (NYC Forensics is still finding skeletal remains) made me cringe and not care to read any more.
Does this attitude continue in Julie's character in the movie? Because I so want to see Meryl Streep as Julia Child.

Thanks for sharing, Susan. Will give this a think, as I'd seen the concerns raised by gexxinknoxville repeated in Amazon reviews of the book (in addition to more concerns) quite often.

This post is butter to my bread Susan. I don't know about Julia Child's life beyond baking, but I'd love to watch this film for Meryl Streep, & the connection to the world of food! Not sure if they'll release the film in India, for want of viewership, but I'm waiting! ♥♥♥

I have not read Julie and Julia but I have read "My life in France" 2x and will read it again as it was so well written and engaging. I am so excited with the preview as I see the pages from the book come to life. Meryl Streep is perfect in her role as Julia Child!

mandy- I'll talk to Meryl and see what I can do. ;)
joey-I know! It's going to be a big hit w/food bloggers!
gexxinknoxville-I can appreciate your feelings. No, I don't think that comes across in the film. Julie's character is softer and tamer in the film.
mark-I understand. There are many differing opinions about this book, but I think it's important to read it for yourself and make a determination.
arfi-You'll love her!
david-I'm well. Hope you are to, my friend. It opens here on Aug 7.
katrina-Now that's a delicious idea!
deeba-You always leave the best comments. :) I hope it shows in India. If not, come on over to SD, and I'll treat ya. ;)
tw-I loved the memoir too.
patsyk-That's so great to hear. Then I'm sure you'll love it in its entirety.
val-So true.

manasi-I agree. Meryl Streep is phenomenal is every role she plays. PS- Thank you!
anonymous-Good catch! Thanks!

What a lovely post! (My dear, you definitely *are* a writer!)
I can't wait to see the movie. The Utah food bloggers (many more than you might imagine) are going together to see it and then pot luck at my house after. (I know the serious bloggers will all be crying when they see my new office, but they'll just have to deal with it!)

Once again, R has been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code (2012). We invite students interested in this program to learn more about it. A good starting point is the R GSoC wiki.
Students participating in the program receive US$5,000 for successful completion of a GSoC project, a great resume item, and an opportunity to work with R package authors.
There are four finance-related projects currently on the project ideas list:
- Performance Attribution
Add portfolio performance and attribution functionality from Bacon [1] to PerformanceAnalytics package.
- Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management
Port MATLAB code published by Attilio Meucci [2,3,4] for risk and portfolio management to R. (FYI: there is already a highly qualified student associated with this project idea).
- Extend RTAQ
Extend the RTAQ package with additional data interoperability and volatility measures. (FYI: there is already a highly qualified student associated with this project idea).
- PortfolioAnalytics Optimizer Back-ends
Add additional closed form and global optimizer backends to PortfolioAnalytics.
- Extend xts
Improve data and model visualization. Extend xts objects to contain mixed types (like data.frames). Add interoperability to existing analytical functions (e.g. ARIMA, Holt Winters, VAR). (FYI: there is already a highly qualified student associated with this project idea).
Those interested in either student or mentor participation should join our Google group, as this is the main means of communication. When you apply for group membership, please introduce yourself with one sentence, so we know you're not a spammer.
Interested students should start working on applications now. The student application process opens on 26 March, and successful students in prior years have often posted draft applications to melange for comment as soon after the opening of the application process as possible.
Note that GSoC is about coding. It is not intended to fund research; but many activities with R require code to advance our work, so the program can be very helpful to improving R.
For information, the admins this year are Toby Dylan Hocking and John Nash, with Brian Peterson and Virgilio Gomez as backups.

Nothing to sneeze at
More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, but the root cause is not always pollen, peanuts and pet dander. These are some of the most common allergy triggers, but because an allergy is simply an immune response to a harmless substance, a person could conceivably be allergic to anything — even water or bodily fluids. Here's a look at some of the strangest allergies ever documented and how people cope with them. (Text: Laura Moss)
