Transatlantic Council on Migration
Transatlantic Council on Migration
Recent Activity
Recent Activity
This report explores how French national identity and sense of belonging are both defined and expressed. The discussion revolves around the issues of "hyphenated identities" and whether the split allegiances of dual citizens weaken social cohesion in France.
This report focuses on the effects of migration on political extremism in North America, Western Europe, and Central and Eastern Europe. The author explores nativist reactions, analyzes the role of migration in the identity and discourse of nativist actors, examines public effects of their impact on migration policies, and summarizes ways in which states respond to anti-immigrant extremism.
This report analyzes developments in UK integration policy over the past 15 years—a period in which immigration levels increased substantially, with the composition of migration flows becoming increasingly temporary and diverse in nature. The analysis focuses on whether or not policy has influenced national identity, integration outcomes, and neighborhood cohesion.
This event marks MPI Europe's official launch in Brussels. To inaugurate the new office, MPI Europe will host a panel discussion to explore what is driving societal discontent in Europe, the role immigration plays in this, and why there is a growing perception that immigrant integration efforts are failing.
This Transatlantic Council Statement examines both the challenge and opportunity for governments, in an era of skepticism about migration, to create a new definition of "we" based on a more inclusive idea of national identity and belonging, and to convince the broader society that investing in integration is an investment in shared futures.
This report challenges the recent rhetoric and addresses the advancement of policy areas for countries, examining factors that impede or facilitate successful the implementation of multiculturalism. When these facilitating conditions are present, multiculturalism can be seen as a low-risk option, andhas worked well in such cases.
For more than a decade, states have experimented with civic integration policies that require immigrants to learn the official language of their host country and acknowledge its basic norms and values—or risk losing social benefits and even residence permits. This report explores ways states can put forth smart policies that benefit natives and immigrants in host countries.
The two sides of the debate on immigration and integration in Europe share an underlying assumption that the problem is cultural, while disagreeing on whether it is the result of too much or too little respect for cultural differences. This report contends that both get the issue wrong, calling attention to the inability of policies to ensure immigrants acquire and retain work.

Sporting sunglasses, a teal shirt and a backpack hanging from his shoulder, Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon looked like a tourist as he arrived late for his news conference.
Maddon didn't have time to slip into his uniform and had a valid excuse. The Rays have been on the road.
In the past week, they've gone from Tampa to New York to Toronto to Texas to Cleveland, a journey covering 3,627 miles.
On Wednesday night, the Rays hope to book a trip to Boston.
Getting a complete game from starter David Price, Tampa Bay beat Texas 5-2 in a tiebreaker on Monday night, earning the Rays a wild-card spot for the third time in four years and a chance to face the Indians, making their first appearance in October since 2007.
Forced to win almost every day down the stretch as they went neck-and-neck-and-neck with the Indians and Rangers in a thrilling wild-card scramble in the final weeks of September, the Rays won in Toronto on Sunday before traveling deep in the heart of Texas and surviving a win-or-go-home scenario.
"I'll tell you what," said Maddon, whose team went 14-5 after Sept. 12. "We've already played this wild-card game a couple times. We did it in Toronto a couple days ago. We did it yesterday in Texas, and we're going to come here tomorrow and do it again. I don't know if there's a battle-tested component to that, if you get immune to whatever that pressure is and you go play."
Wednesday's winner will meet the Red Sox in Game 1 of the division series on Friday.
The Rays always believed they'd be in position to make a run at a first World Series title. And although they've racked up some frequent-flyer miles and lived out of their suitcases to keep their season alive, they're confident their season isn't about to end.
"When you get into this momentum kind of a thing on a daily basis and you're playing great competition and you're going from city to city to city and it's an adverse territory, all of this stuff is what you train for and you really dig and you love it," Maddon said. "You don't have time to get nervous or overthink, you've just got to get ready and go play — and for our guys, they kind of like that moment right now."
Like the Rays, the Indians had to scrap their way into the postseason. Cleveland ended a topsy-turvy regular season under manager Terry Francona by ripping off 10 wins in a row, playing error-free ball during the stretch.
Now, when every mistake is magnified and there's no room for lapses, the Indians want to keep rolling and will start rookie Danny Salazar in their biggest game in six seasons.
"This team wasn't expected to do anything," said right fielder Nick Swisher, one of the team's high-profile free-agent signings. "Just to be where we are right now is awesome, man."
Tampa won four of the six games against Cleveland this season, but the teams haven't met since early June.
Rays starter Alex Cobb (11-3) was asked what he learned about the Indians in his one start against them on April 6.
"That was so long ago, I don't know if that really applies anymore," he said.
"Plus," Maddon said, interrupting his young right-hander. "That was before you got hit in the head."
Fortunately, the Rays can now make light of the scary situation involving Cobb, who was struck in the head by a line drive hit by Kansas City's Eric Hosmer on June 15. Cobb missed 50 games with a concussion, but he's been a different pitcher since the injury, going 5-1 with a 2.41 ERA in nine starts.
Cobb said two months of rest may have helped, but he was also driven to pitch in the postseason after missing out in 2011 when he underwent surgery to remove a blood clot in his ribs.
"Watching the postseason and just the feeling of being left out is indescribable," he said. "It's a terrible feeling that you don't want to have again, so I think it was extra motivation to get back and it definitely fueled the fire even more to get back to the postseason and know that we have a special group that can go far."
The Indians feel just as strongly about making this an unforgettable season, perhaps even ending Cleveland's 65-year drought between World Series titles.
Francona has no hesitation in handing the ball to Salazar (2-3), an unflappable 23-year-old who began the season at Double-A Akron but zoomed to the majors and carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning of his debut. The Rays have never faced him.
"Believe me, we wouldn't pitch him if we weren't confident in him giving us the best chance to win," Francona said. "Danny has done nothing to make us think he can't handle this. He's so poised. If I had stuff like him, I'd be poised, too. But there's a difference between throwing 100 mph and being able to get major league hitters out. Danny can do that."
Indians CF and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn did some agility drills and ran the bases before working out with his teammates. He pulled up with a leg injury on Sunday in Minnesota, and his status for Wednesday is not yet known. ... The teams have to have their 25-man rosters set by 10 a.m. Wednesday. .... Francona followed up on his joke about the Indians avoiding chicken and beer during his September surge, a jab at his final days in Boston. "I lied about that," he said. "We have had some chicken."

Today your website acts as the central hub of your brand presence. The spokes that connect to the hub represent the myriad digital channels that drive visitors to your website. These diverse channels must work together to form a fully-functional wheel that continually revolves to inform, educate, entertain, and drive new business. We develop first-rate marketing programs that build momentum, develop relationships and deliver results.
Momentum Interactive is a modern-day marketing consultancy that collaborates with select clients across a wide range of industries to create dynamic, interactive experiences that build momentum, develop relationships and deliver results. As bona fide connecters with over 15 years of experience in the digital domain, we excel at building diverse, talented teams to create, develop and execute comprehensive marketing solutions that defy mediocrity and exceed expectations.
Today's digital domain demands user-centric design that works equally well across all devices: desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile. Space and time be damned – we're on the move. Get with the program.
It's all about communication. Reach out to your audience via email, Facebook, Twitter or the Pony Express - it doesn't matter. Deliver authentic, meaningful messages that connect with your people.
Truly effective communications fuse art and science. Measuring the effects of our madness allows us to understand what works, and provides insight and feedback for ongoing optimization.
You've got to understand where you are before you can determine which direction you need to go. Seriously. Take some time to think about the big picture. Align your business goals with your marketing strategy.
Now that we've taken some time to consider the big questions, it's time to nail down the specifics with regard to goals, features and functionality. Let's give your audience (and the web developers) something to sink their teeth into.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, those in the know, know that design isn't really about making things look pretty, it's about problem solving. With professional design comes imaginative, intuitive user experience. Simple, effective and something to behold.
Now that we've identified exactly what we need, why we need it, and how it should work – it's time to turn the programmers loose to make the magic happen. Only clean, commented and well-documented development processes will do.
So the designers and developers have done their job. But little did you know, that's only half the battle. It's the writing, the photos, the stories that really make the difference. Now that you've got a fancy new content management system (CMS), it's high-time to put it to good use!
Microphone check, 1, 2, 1, 2. Weeks and months of focused work inevitably culminate in days upon days of testing! With so many devices, browsers and methods to consume digital media, thorough testing is essential.
It's been said that the key to building momentum is to constantly set greater goals. This also is the key to optimization. Like scientists, we measure our efforts, make modifications based upon our findings, and optimize to continually improve performance.
Success is not achieved overnight. The key to a successful web presence lies in the commitment to constant improvement. Take the time to learn from what's working and what's not, and apply those lessons across the myriad marketing channels.

Having built a simple, beautiful Flash site for Maxine's Bridal shop in Stockton in 2005 I had to continuously remind them to allow me to revamp their
site from the archaic Flash-base platform to a more contemporary HTML5, CSS3 and J-Query-driven platform. The trick came when they needed to update
their site to reflect the business move to a new location and we couldn't do it with ease. I set them up on the Business Catalyst platform, where I developed a fully responsive, brochure-style website that
reflects all the services and products they offered at their new location in Stockton. After the completion of the site I provided my 1-hour of free
admin training. The training along with the site being out of the Flash element, enabled the client to apply changes to their content on their own.
I provide the 1-hour of free Business Catalyst admin support, just in case the updates are far and few between, to help them remember the basics. Read On

Kansas Insurance Commissioner doesn't fit in GOP
TOPEKA — Sandy Praeger was always the team player and never the black sheep.
As mayor of Lawrence, state representative, state senator and now Kansas' three-term insurance commissioner, Praeger was mainstream Republican all the way and a close ally of former Gov. Bill Graves.
That's "mainstream Republican" the way it used to be.
These days, Praeger is a GOP misfit out of step with her lifelong party, shunned by the establishment and a virtual relic of a bygone political era.
Now 68 and in her final term as insurance commissioner, Praeger favors abortion rights and gun control in a state that has squished both like a bug underfoot. She wants to spend far more on public schools in a state that has fallen far behind its own promises on education funding. She decries what she calls GOP "hate-mongering" and its anti-immigration rhetoric.
When it comes to Obamacare, she is perhaps Kansas' biggest cheerleader for a program that's roundly despised in many pockets of the state. Praeger insists that the governor of her own party, Sam Brownback, is leading Kansas down a precarious financial path. She talks openly of backing someone else for governor next year while clinging to an abiding belief that someday, somehow, Kansans will come to regret their tilt to the right.
And yes, it has been lonely at times.
"It would be hard to run again as a Republican, I will say that," she said in an interview. "It would be very hard. I don't subscribe to most of the Republican dogma right now."
After Praeger won her third term three years ago, the state Republican Party sent out a letter that listed GOP statewide office-holders. Her name wasn't listed.
"I thought that was hysterical," she said.
But 2014 will be Praeger's last full year in a public-service career that reaches back to 1985, when she was elected to the Lawrence City Commission. Her husband, a surgeon, is gearing up to retire, and Praeger said the couple is making plans.
That Praeger is so down on the Kansas GOP is disappointing, said state Rep. Scott Schwab, a former Johnson County Republican chairman. The party stood by Praeger for three terms with primary voters backing her over conservative challenger Eric Carter in 2006.
"I'd say she's out of touch," Schwab said. "I don't know when she quit listening to the people who sent her to office. But she quit listening."
In 2008, Praeger became president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners based in Kansas City, a post that gave her a platform to weigh in on national health care reform. On that score, she has been a relentless advocate — the yin to Brownback's yang, although the governor pointedly has not rejected expanding Medicaid as President Barack Obama has advocated.
Kansas lawmakers this year ignored Praeger's pleas to expand Medicaid and establish a health care exchange where Kansans could shop for insurance policies. That will leave thousands of poor Kansans below the poverty line without coverage even after Obamacare goes into effect, Praeger said.
But many Republicans, including Brownback, have said they feared the long-term costs of Medicaid expansion. The federal government may eventually not be able to pay its 90 percent share and will pass a higher percentage down to the states, they said. Health care exchanges weren't popular with lawmakers either because of the integral role they play in Obamacare.
Praeger said one consequence of rejecting Medicaid expansion will be the closing of rural hospitals because federal dollars will dry up.
She is equally frustrated with Kansas' fiscal direction under Brownback, a path she calls unsustainable. The income-tax cuts Brownback and the Legislature have enacted go too far and cut essential programs too deeply, she said.
To Praeger, cutting taxes alone won't be the job magnet that so many Republicans believe it will be, because too many businesses count on a skilled workforce that comes about only as a result of high-quality education.
Praeger, who toyed with the idea of running for governor in the 1990s, said she thought about running next year after she got calls asking her to consider it. "It would be so tempting," she said.
But she discarded the idea after weighing her odds in a Republican primary and her age. Her conclusion: It would cost millions. And, "I'm too old."
Praeger's career includes a two-year stint in the state House when she sat next to another moderate Republican, Mark Parkinson. He would go on to switch parties and become a Democratic governor after Kathleen Sebelius resigned.
But Praeger won't switch. "I used to say my sweet, little old grandmother would roll over in her grave" if Praeger became a Democrat. "But she probably would understand today."
But she will consider backing some Democrats next year.
"Why wouldn't I?" she said. "Look at what Sam did to his own Republicans last year, going after moderates (in the Legislature). We lost a lot of seasoned veterans who just wanted to do the right thing for the state. They didn't go along with the big tax cuts because they believed in funding essential core services like education."
Brownback rules by intimidation, Praeger said. Either toe the mark or you're gone. "He's proven he can take anybody out," she said.
Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party and a political spokesman for Brownback, doesn't buy it, pointing to the House's resistance this session to extending a 3-year-old sales tax.
"I don't think Brownback intimidates people or tries to take them out," Barker said. "But he will support those who generally align with his polices, and that may mean that he ends up opposing others."
Praeger has been on the scene a long time, he said. Her critique of Brownback fits the classic moderate response that voters repeatedly rejected last year in Kansas GOP primaries.
"Voters have changed over time," Barker said. "The moderates who served well for years no longer fit the voters."
Praeger, though, sees things differently.
"I hear (other Republicans) saying they want to get rid of all the moderates and the Democrats," she said. "But why? They've got control. I don't know why they need absolute control."

A Bimonthly Email Newsletter from the International Mathematical Union
Editor: Mireille Chaleyat-Maurel, University Paris Descartes, Paris, France
Any new member of the Executive Committee (EC) like me quickly becomes aware of the mathematics community's respect for and confidence in the IMU and of how in consequence it places important responsibilities in the hands of the EC. I had imagined that this would involve the obvious activities: planning for future ICMs, choosing venues, appointing prize committees, identifying chairs of programme committees etc., etc., all of which are enormously important and very closely observed by people with high expectations. More generally, I expected the EC to have overarching responsibility for presenting the mathematician's perspective in international affairs with a much wider scientific context. However what I was not well prepared for was the shear volume and amazing range of additional, less high profile but no less important, activity with which the IMU is involved. For example, it deals with and makes nominations to bodies such as the International Council for Science, and it has its own Committee on Electronic Information and Communications, its Commission for Developing Countries and its International Commission for Mathematical Instruction. In addition the EC is constantly being asked to nominate suitable candidates to serve on regional and international bodies (the committee for freedom and responsibility in science being a typical example), or deciding whether or not to grant its imprimatur to projects of all kinds, or to intervene in national disputes on science policy, or on behalf of individual mathematicians, or to have a presence on Facebook, Twitter, etc.; the list is endless and very interesting.
Added to this is the development of policies specific to mathematics, on journal pricing and ranking, the use and abuse of citation data, outreach, relations with adhering organisations, and so on. In every aspect of this long list of activity the burden placed on the Officers, especially on the Secretary and the President, are enormous, relentless and getting worse.
My experience of EC activity to date has placed the debate at the General Assembly in Bangalore about a stable headquarters for IMU in a new light. To me the new arrangements with Berlin (the location is irrelevant) were inevitable and without them the IMU might have ceased to function as we would expect a 21st century organisation representing the queen of the sciences. The IMU has such an important role in the world, the status quo ante was no longer in option. That is my personal opinion.
John Toland, member of the Executive Committee of IMU
News from IMU
The New IMU Archive. On November 10, 2011 the new IMU archive in Berlin has been officially opened with a small ceremony in the presence of a Finish delegation including Olli Lehto, Guillermo Curbera (curator of the IMU archive), Ingrid Daubechies (IMU President), Birgit Seeliger (IMU archivist), and several of the IMU Secretariat employees in Berlin. Olli Lehto, who moved the archive to Helsinki about 20 years ago, gave a very nice lecture about the history of the archive. Bernard Hodgson, former ICMI Secretary General, came to Berlin on November 22 to discuss the archiving of ICMI material. IMU is very grateful to CEIC, especially James Davenport, for its help in the organization of the e-archiving.
The Klein project
Started in 2009, the Klein Project is an IMU/ICMI initiative to provide the means for secondary teachers of senior classes to continue to engage their interest in mathematics, in particular to enable them to understand the breath, unity, and evolution of the contemporary research field. It draws inspiration from Felix Klein's books 100 years ago "Elementary mathematics from an advanced viewpoint". The outputs of the Klein Project are to be a book that includes chapters and mathematical "vignettes", a website that can be kept up to date (www.kleinproject.org), and other resources.
Klein Project meetings have been held in six different countries so far, and have successfully used the space between school and university mathematics as a place where teachers and mathematicians can engage with each other. So far, except in Brazil, the production of material for the web has been very limited with eight vignettes posted on the website. The Brazilian community has been very active on the project with many vignettes produced, refereed and tested in workshops bringing together mathematicians, mathematics educators and teachers. The Brazilian vignettes will soon be posted on the web.
A Klein workshop took place at American Institute of Mathematics on November 7-11. It was the first non Brazilian workshop really dealing with the writing and testing vignettes by a mixed group of mathematicians, mathematics educators and teachers. The workshop was very successful in allowing the writing of several more vignettes to be posted soon and starting a North American Klein community. A blog will be launched in January 2012 (with a link on the present website), where new vignettes will be posted every week or so and vignettes will be commented and criticized. The workshop was the occasion to test a model of "Klein workshop", and the model is to be used by any country willing to organize such a workshop.

The time has passed. It is time to put down the memory in the category of childhood power and embrace social media, at least at some level, a beginning! There are those who yearn for the days pre-social media, the pen and phone days of yore. I am not advocating putting down your pen or your phone they are both powerful tools in the tool box of promotion, and marketing of you and your interest. Social Media is for business and an integral piece in my worlds of the Arts, Agriculture and Non-Profits. It is not the teen thing, or the young persons place, it is the place for our business today.
A century or more ago there was a resistance to those silly glass balls and wires, after all the fuss the LIGHT BULB was and is, a great idea. The image has become the icon for new ideas.
Passing over Social Media as a unwanted trend or fad will only leave you with the Edison resistant- in the dark. Social Media is as relevant to life today as Walter Cronkite was to news, so please tune in.
You don't need to partake of the whole pie, just select a couple bites and begin to engage people and build a following. Today your circle of friends can circle the globe, so join a conversation, comment on a blog,( start with this one – what do you think?) favorite a great photo and begin to reach out with all these wonderful tools! Engagement is the seed you sow, what you work on, growth, network, reach are the harvest. Interested in more about my other social media sites? Here is a link to my page listing them: http://www.carolynstearnsstoryteller.com/Index.cfm?PageID=1512

And to think the crazy wingnuts said UN peacekeepers would do more to protect Hezbollah from Israel than vice versa.
U.N. peacekeeping forces in south Lebanon intervened for the first time Thursday with Israeli forces who arrested journalists in violation of Resolution 1701…
Members of UNIFIL's French battalion almost clashed with Israeli troops who arrested a French journalist and a Lebanese photographer at an improvised checkpoint in the border area of Marwaheen in the western sector of south Lebanon.
A UNIFIL officer told United Press International that a French force was rushed to the location of the checkpoint and a heated argument erupted between French and Israeli officers, which lasted an hour before the Israeli troops released the two journalists.
Like Spinal Tap's appeal, violations of 1701 that UNIFIL can and can't respond to are … selective:
They cannot set up checkpoints. They cannot search cars or homes or businesses. They cannot detain suspects. If they see a truck transporting missiles for example, they cannot stop it. And they cannot staff check points with the Lebanese Army because they do not know each others procedures…
And so if there was any thought that the multinational forces would disarm or restrain Hezbollah, or search for hidden weapons caches, the commanders on the ground say very clearly that is not their job. Those responsibilities, they said, will depend on the political will of the government.
Israel's pressuring them to be more aggressive. Against terrorists, I mean. They've already got aggression towards Israeli troops at checkpoints down pat.
Speaking of the UN, the U.S. is set to support one of the Muslim candidates for UN Secretary-General. No doubt this'll earn us all kinds of crazy goodwill on the Arab street. I'm sure he'll be a fair and impartial broker in international affairs, too. Much like, say, Mohammed ElBaradei is.
Update: New from the AP — "Little Pressure on Hezbollah to Disarm."
Update: Ynet's got news of another confrontation between French troops and the IDF, and this one sounds nothing like the first. Are the French getting, um, froggy?

2500 houses planned for 160ha upmarket development.
Todd Property Group has conditionally sold the first 14 sections at its 160ha Long Bay housing estate, the country's largest new greenfields residential project.
Evan Davies, chief executive, said group house builders had paid deposits on the land where they would put up show homes. Section sales would settle once titles were issued.
He anticipated builders would have consents by early next year and start building what Todd calls a "parade of homes" by around February.
Stephen Martin, Todd senior development manager, said those sections sold for an average of $450,000 and Davies makes no bones about developing upmarket housing on the expensive land where 2500 houses are planned.
At Long Bay, above the regional park, Todd is not answering the call for affordable housing partly, Davies said, because the company could only build on 60ha of the 160ha site.
The rest of the land is being laid with roads - some up to 24m wide - parks, reserves, open space, buffer zones, stormwater treatment areas, wetlands and landscaped zones.
"I think it's the most spectacular residential physical environment," Davies said.
"When you've paid what we've paid for infrastructure that nobody else provided and when you've taken 13 years to get here, the possibility of providing that kind of [affordable] outcome is precluded.
"It's just taken too long and cost too much."
Martin agrees, saying affordable houses on such a site were "completely impossible".
Three-bedroom stand-alone houses could start at around $700,000, but Martin said smaller places towards the centre of the project might sell for less.
Davies said that come the end of the 2013/14 summer, around 20 to 30 houses might be up and the first residents living on the site.
Todd has the first 180 lots in zone stages two, four and seven and an open day is set for November 23.
A cafe with a sales and information suite will be finished and a scale model has been built.
Builders will be required to meet Todd development guidelines. Covenants will be put on titles so the houses meet a built form approval process for the integrated nature of the estate. Around 3 million cu m of earth will be shifted on the site.
"Unless we had that magnitude of works, we can't make the ground safe in terms of the ridges and gullies," Martin said.
A 2m diameter wastewater pipe costing $7 million has been laid and a $3 million water pumping station built, all to increase capacity in the area and prevent stormwater spillage into the Long Bay Marine Reserve.
The new Awaruku Bridge has been completed within the estate, given a farm theme with timber used from the area.
But Todd has also been working on developing a new entry into the estate, a 1km road from Glenvar Rd to near Ashley Reserve, to escape the constrained southern accessway from Beach Rd.
Davies would like to have the new road built "yesterday" but acknowledges it might not be finished until 2015 and referred to Auckland Transport funding constraints for the timing, but there was a need for the accessway because most people will be entering the estate from the south.
Todd owns a further 130ha north of its Long Bay site at Okura which Martin says is now subdivided into 30 individual titles. Davies and Martin are refusing to talk about their plans for that land.
"We have plenty to do in Long Bay," Davies said, adding that Todd has a third holding of 20ha west of Long Bay on the southern end.
Davies agreed with Finance Minister Bill English's prescription for affordable houses.
"But the challenge is more complex than simply one of land availability," Davies said.
"The challenge is to pay the right price for the land, then about efficiencies and effectiveness of processes," he said. "If you want houses to cost half as much, make them half as big. I grew up in a place with no garage. We had a carport."
At Stonefields, Todd has sold more than 20 of its 44 apartments in Saltus for around $650,000 each but is still working on concepts for its Napier Hospital site where Davies met civic officials last week.

Sears Holdings Corporation has announced a number of actions intended to improve its financial flexibility and provided an update on its third quarter operating performance.
Sears Canada has announced the sale of five store leases to Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited for total consideration of $400 million Canadian. The transaction is expected to close in the next 10 business days. Edward Lampert, Sears Holdings' chairman and CEO, said, "We are very supportive of Sears Canada's actions to create value. It is clear that the Canadian market is becoming more competitive, but also more lucrative for those who can compete effectively. We believe that Sears Canada is well positioned to create value for its shareholders through a combination of operating performance improvements, business portfolio actions and leveraging its real estate footprint working with its mall and other partners."
In addition, with regard to its domestic operations, Sears reported that it will continue to evaluate its stores in the context of its Integrated Retail strategy. As the retailer said it has done over the past several years, Sears Holding said it will review each location, including leased locations that are set to expire, and decide whether or not to renew such leases. The retailer said it expects to improve its financial performance by removing unprofitable locations and redeploying the capital tied up in those locations, while sharpening its focus around existing Sears and Kmart stores that have higher levels of profitability.
Sears is also evaluating separating both its Lands' End business and Sears Auto Center business. Separating the management of these two businesses from Sears Holdings would allow them to pursue their own strategic opportunities, optimize their capital structures, attract talent and allocate capital in a more focused manner, the company reported
Regarding Lands' End, Sears reported that it "is an iconic brand with the potential to become a more global brand, and we presently anticipate that any separation, if pursued, would not be structured as a sale but rather through a transaction that would allow existing shareholders the opportunity to benefit from the significant potential for value creation over the long term."
Regarding Sears Auto Centers, Sears Holding announced that it has begun the repositioning of the business around non-tire related services as tire margins have been compressed industry-wide over the past several years. The store reported that it is in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives for the business to maximize its value for its shareholders.
Finally, Sears Holdings announced an update regarding its operating performance for the third quarter ending November 2, 2013. Comparable store sales for the 12-week period ended October 26, 2013 declined 3.7%, with a decline of 4.8% for Sears domestic stores and 2.6% for Kmart stores.
The company expects third quarter adjusted EBITDA to be in an approximate range of between negative $250 million to $300 million versus the prior year's quarter adjusted EBITDA of negative $156 million, which consisted of negative $164 million for SHC Domestic and positive $8 million for Sears Canada. Despite the increased operating loss, Sears Holding announced that it has managed its inventory levels and capital expenditures more efficiently to mitigate the impact of this loss on its cash flow. It reported that it has generated approximately $700 million of asset monetization proceeds and is on track to reduce inventory at peak, year over year, by $500 million as well as reduce fixed expenses by $200 million for the full year. In addition, Sears Holdings successfully completed a $1 billion, five-year term loan.

KPMG and SAS form alliance to help banks prepare for CECL, IFRS 9 compliance
Issued by KPMG on July 12, 2018
KPMG LLP today announced an alliance with SAS, a leader in analytics, to help banks transition to a new accounting standard – current expected credit loss (CECL) – which will drastically change how financial institutions estimate, reserve and report on losses.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced CECL as the new standard for the recognition and measurement of credit losses for loans and debt securities in an effort to ensure better loss coverage. The new standards take effect in stages beginning January 2020.
"These changes are significant in terms of how banks will manage risk and financial data, build their analytic platforms and share information between departments," said Troy Haines, senior vice president and head of the risk management division at SAS. "By aligning with KPMG in the United States, we are helping customers improve business performance and turn risk and compliance requirements into opportunities."
This change in expected credit loss reporting is not only happening in the United States; institutions with global reporting requirements must comply with similar expected credit loss practices in International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9).
KPMG takes a multidisciplinary approach to CECL and IFRS 9 adoption, providing services related to accounting and regulatory change as well as the broader risk management and financial data environment.
"The alliance will provide CECL and IFRS 9 offerings that combine the capabilities and resources of two market-leading providers: KPMG with enablement services including in-depth accounting, finance, tax, modeling and risk specialization, and SAS with the dedicated expected credit loss software platform," said Ed Bayer, Risk Analytics Advisory managing director at KPMG LLP. "The alliance delivers industry-leading services and technology to help banks navigate the new guidelines."
Leveraging its breadth of experience, KPMG can assess existing accounting policies, data availability, modelling capability and internal controls at the financial institution and design an implementation roadmap considering the requirements of the new standard.
SAS provides SAS® Expected Credit Loss, a comprehensive, market-leading solution adopted by more than 75 global financial institutions. The solution supports the CECL calculation and reporting process and bridges the data and reporting requirements necessary for both risk and finance departments.
"The strength of the SAS and KPMG alliance combines the technology and experience necessary to help customers be successful and minimize the risk associated with compliance and implementation of the new CECL and IFRS9 standards," said Chris Webber, Research Director, Strategic Alliances and Ecosystem, IDC.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake will open its 2013 home schedule at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday, when it will take on the Colorado Rapids in the first leg of the 2013 Rocky Mountain Cup Presented by Mark Miller Subaru. The Claret-and-Cobalt has won six-consecutive Rocky Mountain Cups, winning the 2012 crown by posting a 2-1-0 record against the Rapids last season.
Saturday's match will be broadcast live on ABC4, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D/1600 AM. ABC4 will air the 30-minute Ford Postgame Show immediately following the match; ESPN 700 will begin its pregame coverage at 3:00 p.m. MT and will air an hour-long postgame show immediately after the final whistle.
The NBC Sports Network will periodically show live look-ins of Saturday's match as part of the network's "MLS Breakaway" show, a 2 ½ hour, NFL RedZone-type program hosted by Arlo White and Kyle Martino that will be the highlight of NBC's 10 consecutive hours of MLS Rivalry Week programming on Saturday.
Real Salt Lake will honor GK Nick Rimando before the match for becoming the second player in MLS history to reach 100 career regular season shutouts. Rimando notched his 100th clean sheet in RSL's 2-0 win at San Jose on March 3, joining unsigned 'keeper Kevin Hartman (112) as the only two players in the exclusive club.
RSL lost its last match, falling 1-0 at D.C. United on March 9. The Claret-and-Cobalt has never won at D.C., with last weekend's defeat moving the club to 0-6-3 across all competitions in the nation's capital. RSL saw two players disciplined for actions in the D.C. match, with DF Abdoulie Mansally suspended for Saturday's game and fined for violent conduct and FW Alvaro Saborio fined for aggravated dissent.
Saturday's match is the only time that RSL will host Colorado this season. The Claret-and-Cobalt has won six-consecutive Rocky Mountain Cups, capturing last year's trophy with a pair of 2-0 wins in the first two games against the rival Rapids.
RSL is 9-9-7 all-time against the Rapids and 7-3-5 against Colorado since acquiring captain Kyle Beckerman and DF Chris Wingert from the Rapids in the middle of the 2007 season. Beckerman, Wingert and DF Nat Borchers have won Rocky Mountain Cups for both RSL and the Rapids, with Beckerman 8-0 in the competition, Wingert 7-0 and Borchers 6-0.
The Claret-and-Cobalt lost its last match against Colorado, falling 1-0 at the Rapids on Aug. 4, 2012.
Real Salt Lake will again on Saturday be without regular starters Wingert (R Metatarsal Fracture) and MF Javier Morales (R Lateral Meniscus Injury) due to injury. Borchers (R Quad Surgery) is unlikely to play while the status of MF Ned Grabavoy (Family Matter) is up in the air.
The Real Salt Lake Reserves will take on the Colorado Rapids Reserves at Rio Tinto Stadium at 6:30 p.m. MT on Saturday night. Fans with tickets to the first-team match will be allowed to stay for the Reserve League game, but no re-entry into the stadium will be permitted
The Claret-and-Cobalt will hit the road again next week, taking on FC Dallas at FC Dallas Stadium on Saturday, March 23.

Story highlights
Italy's president has dissolved parliament
The move follows the resignation of the prime minister
New elections will be held in February
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on Saturday dissolved the country's parliament, following the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Monti.
New elections will beheld on February 24-25, according to a statement posted on the president's website.
Monti was appointed prime minister last year after the resignation of former premier Silvio Berlusconi. Monti has not indicated whether he will run in the new elections, while Berlusconi says he will.
Monti resigned Friday after Parliament approved the budget.
An economist and former European commissioner, Monti was appointed by Napolitano after Berlusconi stepped down under pressure for failing to control Italy's debt and a series of scandals.
Since then, international investors have displayed confidence in the country's finances. Italy's borrowing costs have fallen this year on Monti's efforts to bring down borrowing and the improved sentiment generated by the European Central Bank's conditional scheme to buy bonds of struggling sovereigns.
Berlusconi has criticized Monti's austerity policies as damaging to the country. Berlusconi's party, the People of Freedom, is the largest in Parliament.

« Report Finds Pace of College-Enrollment Growth Slows | Main | College Debt Follows Students Into Senior Citizen Years »
Top Tier Colleges Get Record Applications, Increase Selectivity
As colleges roll out admissions offers this week, reports indicate some of the country's elite colleges are becoming even more selective. Applications are up and the percentage of students being accepted is down in the class of 2016 at some top-tier schools.
Here's a snapshot of the numbers at some of the most sought-after institutions:
Harvard College. For every 100 students that applied to America's most prestigious school, 94 were rejected. This year Harvard had the country's lowest acceptance rate reported so far just 5.9 percent, offering admission to 2,032 students of the 34,302 who applied. Last year the rate was 6.2 percent. The college ramped up financial aid, offering help to 60 percent of the students admitted to the Class of 2016, meaning the average family pays just $12,000 per year for tuition, room, board, and fees, the campus newspaper reports.
Princeton University. With 26,664 applications and admission offered to 2,095 students, Princeton's acceptance rate was a record low 7.86 percent, compared to 8.5 percent last year, according to its website. Of the students admitted, 726 are students who applied by early action in December.
Yale University. The New Haven, Conn., undergraduate college had a record-high applicant pool of 28,975 and chose just 1,975 for a 6.8 percent acceptance rate. Last year, 27,283 applied and Yale admitted 7.4 percent, according to the school's website.
Cornell University. Cornell is "considerably" more selective this year, with 16.2 percent of applicants getting in compared with 18 percent in 2011, according to Lee H. Melvin, Cornell's associate vice provost for enrollment in an online story on the school's website. Four percent more applications were received this year over last for a total of 37,812, and 6,123 were admitted.
Johns Hopkins University. With 20,496 students seeking admission a 5 percent increase over last year a new record of applicants was set at the Baltimore school. Just 17.7 percent or 3,071 students were admitted, down from 18. 3 percent in 2011.
While these number will have students in some circles buzzing, it's worth noting that, nationally, the average acceptance rate is 65.5 percent, according to the National Association for College Counseling.

U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney is proposing legislation that would require the U.S. Mint to create a commemorative coin that honors the history and heritage of the Coast Guard. The coin would be minted in 2017 and the proceeds would benefit the museum.
On Sunday, Courtney postponed a news conference previously scheduled for Monday at Fort Trumbull Pier in New London to discuss his proposed legislation. That is where the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle will be moored. He did not set a new date.
The Democratic congressman said he has support from Democratic and Republican colleagues, local and Coast Guard officials, the Navy League of the U.S. and the Fleet Reserve Association.

JOHANNESBURG – First the good news: The US did not lose another striker when Jozy Altidore suffered a minor ankle sprain in training last week. The 20-year-old striker says he's feeling fit and ready to go, helped by two to three treatment sessions a day, and is ready to play against England.
Given Altidore's success and experience over the past few years, Bradley's announcment that the Villareal forward would start came as no surprise. But who will pair with him against a tough English defense in the Americans' World Cup opener on Saturday? There would seem to be three possibilities:
1) Robbie Findley. The Real Salt Lake speedster has impressed in pre-Cup camp, and has performed better than expected in warm-up games. Against Turkey, he showed he could make the pretty pass, which led to an eventual Altidore goal. Against Australia, his creativity shone through. He seems to have rediscovered the danger streak that had eluded him at the national-team level.
"Each touch he takes on the ball, the way he takes people on now, I think his swagger is a little bit different," Altidore told reporters at US camp on Thursday. "That's huge for us because he's a good outlet for us in long balls over the top. Not just that, but he tracks back and helps us defend, so I think he's been a real plus."
Altidore and Findley have experience together on the front line as well, both at the senior- and youth-team levels.
2) Edson Buddle. Has MLS' leading scorer really gone from his first national team camp in seven years to a possible starting spot in the World Cup in just a month? Yes.
The Galaxy marksman also has impressed in camp, both with his skills and his easygoing personality. And he proved with his brace against Australia last week that his hot foot in league play has indeed translated to the international level.
More importantly, he's showcasing some of those physical skills that make him an important presence in the box, someone who can fill the role of target man.
"He's that traditional guy who gets the ball, holds it up and lays it off and he gets in the box," said Altidore. It's always good to have a guy like that around. He's looked really sharp in training."
Two strikers with size may be a good call if Bob Bradley opts to try to fight England's muscle with muscle. And despite never working together at the national-team level, Altidore and Buddle do know a bit about each other's game – they spent the 2006 season together with the New York Red Bulls and shared the front line in three matches.
3) Go it alone. Bradley hasn't often strayed from a 4-4-2 formation during his tenure in charge of the US, so it's unlikely he'll stray on Saturday. But given the opponent, it's worth a look.
If he decides to go conservative against England, with a focus more on absorbing pressure and waiting for counterattacking opportunity, Bradley could deploy Altidore as the lone forward. That might allow Clint Dempsey to shift to more of a deep striker role and put another skilled midfielder in the mix, perhaps another flank player like Stuart Holden.

[glowpurple] A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO NETWORK PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON - PART I/III[/glowpurple]
This tutorial introduces the basics of network programming in Python. I'm planning to divide this tutorial into three parts. The first one will cover some basics and details about a few useful functions from the socket module in Python.
Python would be the best language for a beginner to start with in the
world of programming. Programming languages tend to obey an inverse complexity
versus simplicity relationship. Take C for instance; the programmer has to worry
about a lot of details of the program which gives him greater control but in turn
makes it more difficult for him to code. For the rest of us who aren't hardcore
programmers trying to play God (Most of us ;-) ), a language more inclined to
simplicity would be the best choice to start learning.
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Best of all,
its open source. It can be dowloaded freely at
"Python - why settle for snake oil when you can have the whole snake?"
From Usenet posting by Mark Jackson, June 1998
Some of the basic concepts required to understand this tutorial are given below.
An ip address is a 32-bit address used to identify a computer in the Internet. Therefore
every computer present in the Internet has a unique ip address. This 32 bit is divided
into four equal parts ( 8-bits ) which are separated by dots. Each address consists of a network number,
an optional subnetwork number, and a host number.
For eg. 126.96.36.199
Each part having just 8-bits can have values ranging from 0 to 255 ( 2^8 =256 values ). But, 0 and
255 are used for special purposes and are not used to specify a particular box.
"A Port is a connection point for different protocols to communicate on different machines"
For eg. port number 80 is used for HTTP traffic. Try using the command "netstat -a" while
surfing the web to see the various ports involved in the activity. To get a complete listing
of well known ports, check this site out -> http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
"Sockets are used as endpoints for sending and receiving data between computers."
When i'm using my browser to access www.antionline.com, my browser( good ol' firefox)
creates a socket requesting connection to the site. At the same time, the antionline
webserver has a socket listening for connections. In this way sockets are used to send
data between the two boxes. A socket is bound to an ip-address and a port.
The transport layer is the fourth layer of the seven layer OSI-ISO model. The transport layer
provides for transport of messages between boxes. The two protocols working in this layer are
TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol ) and UDP ( User Datagram Protocol ). The former provides
a very reliable form of communication. TCP employs a technique called a three way handshake.
UDP on the other hand is known as a connectionless protocol and is very unreliable. I'm only
talking about the transport layer of the OSI-ISO model as it is necessary to understand the
difference between UDP and TCP while creating a socket. For more on the OSI-ISO model, check
out the site -> http://www.pcsupportadvisor.com/OSI_...odel_page1.htm
The "sockets" module in Python is quite similar to that in C. C network programmers will find it easy
as cake to master python network programming. Throughout the tutorial, i'll use ">>>" to indicate the
CLI of the Python interactive interpreter. The statement followed by "#" is a comment and is not
* gethostname()
The name of the function explains the purpose ;-)
>>>import socket # Import the various functions used here from the "socket" module
>>>socket.gethostname() # Call the function
'aria' # The hostname of my box
* gethostbyname(name)
This function returns the ipaddress of the hostname specified.
# Not including the import command to avoid repetition
>>>socket.gethostbyname('www.antionline.com) # Call the function
'188.8.131.52' # The Ip address ... cool huh ??
* gethostbyaddr(ipaddress)
This function returns a tuple returning the primary hostname, a list of alternate hostnames
and a list of other Ip addresses for the same domain.
>>> socket.gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1') # this is the self referential ip of ur box
('localhost', [], ['127.0.0.1'])
This is used for obtaining the port number corresponding to a given service (http,udp etc.) and
protocol( udp or tcp )
666 # Hail satan ! .. ;-) ..jus kidding
>>> socket.getservbyname('http','udp')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in -toplevel-
error: service/proto not found # This explains why browsing the web is so reliable ;-}
* inet_aton(ip address)
Used to convert ip addresses into their packed 32-bit form used by programs.
>>> socket.inet_aton('127.0.0.1')
inet_ntoa(packedform) is used to convert it back to the ip address form, the details of which
are self explanatory...( feeling lazy !)
This brings an end to the first part of this tutorial. The next part will deal with socket creation,
deletion and sending data between boxes. Thank you for spending your time to read my little tutorial.

Tea drinking seems to be a common theme amongst the Day of Archaeology entries, and why not? A nice hot beverage does seem a fairly fool-proof way to stimulate the grey cells, and is an almost mandatory accessory for a research student like myself.
My name is Fliss Winkley, and having completed a Masters in Artefact Studies at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL and done a brief stint training with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), I am now studying again. I'm in the first year of a PhD investigating metal detectorists' relationships with landscape, inspired by the experiences of seasoned detectorists and searchers who I met whilst working with the PAS. I hope to issue a questionnaire to at least 1,000 detectorists (representing 10% of the conservative estimate of the number operating in England currently) to find out just how many of them detect regularly on the same landscape and how they feel about it, particularly in terms of reconstructing a historic landscape and generating a sense of place.
First step today is to check the emails: I find not only that library books need renewing, but also that I have had several responses on Twitter, the former referencing a traditional method of research that I am very comfortable with, the latter a new technique of outreach that I am only just beginning to understand! This reminds me that I need to upload more information to the Twitter page as well, to give people a better idea of what I am up to.
Next step (thanks to a reminder e-mail from my supervisor) is to design a cover sheet for my questionnaire, so that paper versions can be circulated far and wide, alongside the web-hosted version with which I am hoping to snare those respondents I can't get to! I already have a cover sheet on the online version, but managed with great oversight to forget this might be useful in the paper copy! The relationship between metal detectorist and archaeologist has often been a prickly one in the past, with old prejudices remaining steadfast in some corners even today. As such, I have to be diplomatic when approaching potential respondents and take care to emphasise on the cover sheet that they will not be asked to reveal the exact locations of their findspots (the point at which an artefact is found).
After attaching the completed cover sheet to the questionnaire, I am ready to distribute the word doc and the link far and wide and cross my fingers that the responses start coming in. I am determined to achieve my target of 1,000 responses so that my data is statistically sound: I didn't go through the pains of battering my fluffy theoretical brain with basic statistics to get a bad set of data and spoil it all! So if you, or anyone you know is a metal detectorist, please take a look at my questionnaire, and help an archaeologist today!

Brian May Does Not Have Cancer
Ethan Miller, Getty Images
After undergoing a series of tests, Brian May has been told that he does not have cancer. The Queen guitarist shared the good news on his website yesterday.
"Well, I got a great phone call from my specialist this evening," May wrote. "He said, 'I have good news: The result of your prostate biopsy is here, and we did not find any cancer cells.' So finally, as far as that vital organ is concerned, I am — thank God — in the clear."
After mocking himself by saying that he celebrated the news with a cup of tea, May gave an update on his newest musical project: an album of previously unreleased Queen material, including the much-ballyhooed duet between Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson. The unnamed track was never finished and, according to May, has never appeared on a Queen bootleg.
"It sounds so fresh, now all carefully transferred into the ProTools environment — but sounding exactly like it did straight off the 24-track tape it was recorded on . . . over 30 years ago," he wrote. "What's great is that nobody has got hold of this and leaked it. How brilliant is that? . . . Well, this is something shiny and to all intents and purposes new. And we get the chance to polish it in private, without advice from all and sundry."

Having genital herpes could take an emotional toll on a person. It can also affect an individual's dating life. There is a stigma attached to herpes... For detail, click here
Yes it is a death sentence, because no one wants to date, talk, or marry you. People treat you like a dirty person.
No, it's a skin condition. Period. With medication + condoms = 98% safe. Educate yourself so you can realize the stigma is the worst part.
The majority of the adult population has one or both forms. Statistically, someone who has had unprotected sex with 3 people almost certainly has HSV1 and someone who has had unprotected sex with more than 5 people has both HSV1 and 2. Condoms leave a lot of underexposed area, too, so you can be infected without ever having unprotected sex. 85% of those infected don't know.
