From the American Animal Hospital Association
September / October 2011
An extensive retrospective study by the University of Georgia analyzes causes of death for dozens of dog breeds.
The scientists looked at data from nearly 75,000 dogs whose deaths were recorded in the Veterinary Medical Database (VMDB) between 1984 and 2004. They categorized the deaths by organ system and pathophysiologic process, and hypothesized that these could be segregated by age, breed and body mass.
The result is a comprehensive look at the main causes of death in 82 breeds, which the authors say could help in the formation of breed-specific wellness programs.
"These results should facilitate development of tailored screening and health-maintenance practices," the authors wrote. "Eventually, these results may contribute significantly to ongoing work on the underlying genetic basis of breed-specific mortality."
The authors identified the leading causes of death for each breed based on either disease or organ system. Some findings included:
The authors cautioned that some of the data could be somewhat skewed in light of the fact that the raw data came from the VMDB, which contains records of dogs that were brought to and treated by university veterinary teaching hospitals.
"This may tend to bias our results to include more severe, complicated, or unusual diseases than are seen in the canine population at large," the study says.
The study, "Mortality in North American Dogs from 1984 to 2004: An Investigation into Age, Size, and Breed-Related Causes of Death," was published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

text: Home Politics How Obama's Civil Rights Policies Are Benefiting Blacks As part of The Root's series about how President Obama's policies affect African Americans, we look at the work being done by the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. By: Cord Jefferson Posted: Oct. 29 2010 1:34 PM 0 Thomas Perez (Chip Somodovilla/Getty Images), Barack Obama (Getty Images),Eric Holder (Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images) This is Part 5 of The Agenda: What Obama Has Done for You, a series of articles looking at President Barack Obama's record on issues that affect blacks. The history of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is a long one, and it's inextricably linked to the suffering of African Americans. Founded in 1957 as part of the Civil Rights Act, the division has now worked for more than five decades to ferret out and prosecute discrimination at all levels of American society. And while the body busies itself with everything from human-trafficking crimes to bias against the disabled, its organizational trademark is its endless pursuit of crimes against people of color. Just over 50 years after its founding, the Civil Rights Division came under the purview of the country's first black president and attorney general. And in the ensuing months, it has worked tirelessly to prosecute the ongoing crimes that necessitated its creation so long ago. The head of the division, Thomas E. Perez, was nominated by President Obama and sworn in as assistant attorney general in October 2009. He spoke with The Root about what the Obama administration is fighting for. The Root: What has been Obama's impact on the Civil Rights Division? Thomas Perez: If we want to transform the lives of communities of color, restoring and transforming the Civil Rights Division can go a remarkably long way in improving opportunity for African Americans. Under the president's leadership, the Civil Rights Division obtained the largest increase in funding in our division's history. He has repeatedly called the restoration and transformation of the Civil Rights Division a top priority, and he put his money where his mouth is. When someone says an issue is a priority, what you should say in response is, "Show me the money." Budgets are indeed moral documents, and the commitment to the division is a very tangible piece of evidence of the president's commitment to renewing civil rights enforcement. TR: In the past 20 months, what have been the Civil Rights Division's most important victories regarding the African-American community? TP: Just in the year I've been on the job, we've established a dedicated Fair Lending Unit to address unscrupulous practices by lenders and to hold accountable those lenders that have targeted minority communities for these toxic products. African-American borrowers were being gouged; they were being charged higher fees because of their race. And in March, we announced the largest lending-discrimination settlement in the division's history -- over $6 million. It was a case involving discrimination against African-American borrowers by two subsidiaries of AIG. Also, in my first year, we've already obtained the largest monetary settlement of a rental-discrimination case under the Fair Housing Act in our division's history. This was a case in Los Angeles involving discrimination in the rental context against African Americans and Latinos. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

It's pretty hard to find an animal that is more photogenic than the panda. This hilarious shot of them pigging out reminds me of their human cousins enjoying a sporting event in front of the big screen TV. Any doubt about the theory of evolution?

PARRAMATTA'S student population now has no reason to rely solely on the "cask wine and two-minute noodles" that have sustained them for so long.
At the UWS's Parramatta campus, a cookbook to bring sustainable, delicious, economic nutrition to the masses was launched this week.
And it received an enthusiastic endorsement from the prophet of sustainable and organic food, Costa Georgiadis.
View the Suns' video interview with Mr Georgiadis below:
"I look at a simple little cookbook like this and I see an incredible vehicle for education and change," the Gardening Australia host said.
"When you think about the fact that everyone has to eat, this cookbook not only compiles simple recipes for students and for anyone who picks it up but in it it connects the bigger picture.
"It's telling a story not only about how we look after ourselves but how we need to look after our environment, which is where our food comes from."
The UWS Community Cookbook contains 80 recipes contributed by students and staff.
Jenny Nelson, who runs the university's commercial kitchen, said she hoped the cookbook would help students eat healthier.
"Our survey actually said it is cask wine and two-minutes noodles that students are living on," she said.
"These recipes don't take a lot of skills or cost much but they're healthy," she said.
Brittany Hardiman, one of the main contributors, said the book also has an inherent message of sustainability.
"The ingredients can all be sourced locally through the Hawkesbury Harvest food trail ... for just a few dollars," she said.

The 50 best movie villains of all time
Go to the dark side with our ranked list of evildoers.
Mon Oct 24 2011
Do we love our scoundrels more than our saints? Certainly at this time of year, with Halloween just around the corner, we do. Then again, this collection of baddies boasts a stunning eight Oscar victories (and a couple more if you allow for special-effects wins). In considering the worst of the worst, TONY's Team Film was careful to sift out contenders who were merely antiheroes: Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle, for example, is too well-intentioned. Instead, we went for true terribleness. Whatever you do, just keep telling yourself: It's only a list, it's only a list. And if we forgot your favorite heel, get mean with us in the comments.
RECOMMENDED: Complete guide to Halloween, NYC haunted houses, and costume shops
Dean Wormer, National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
"The time has come for someone to put his foot down—and that foot is me," John Vernon's dastardly dean declares. This nincompoop head of Faber College took impotent authority figures to a new level, making him the ideal foil for the Deltas. He exemplifies gross-out comedy's golden rule: The more smug you are, the more likely you'll be vomited upon.—David Fear
Cobra Kai Sensei, The Karate Kid (1984)
Fine, so he might not be all the way up there in the pantheon of evil, but this character definitely haunted our nightmares. Mercy and honor are mere playthings to him, as he firmly tells Daniel-san's opponent to "sweep the leg." Actor Martin Kove's squashed features add unsavoriness.—Joshua Rothkopf
Roy Batty, Blade Runner (1982)
The bleached-blond replicant of Ridley Scott's milestone sci-fi thriller is nearly unstoppable—poking out eyeballs, head-butting walls and reducing Harrison Ford's hard-boiled cop to a quivering, broken-fingered mess. But there's more to this bad guy than seething menace; the great Rutger Hauer invests him with a wide-eyed soulfulness that ultimately breaks your heart.—Keith Uhlich
Asami Yamazaki, Audition (1999)
Everyone knows actors are crazy, but our hero can't have expected this level of limb-slicing extremity. To be fair, he's holding a fake casting call just to meet chicks—a move that would infuriate anyone. But after deceptively meek Asami (Eihi Shiina) shows up, this is one player who's about to get a forcible re-edit.—Joshua Rothkopf
Hank Quinlan, Touch of Evil (1958)
Though he'd eventually resemble a mountain with a tiny head on top, Orson Welles actually added belly padding and pounds of makeup to play the corrupt cop of his noir classic, a lawman with no qualms about planting evidence, wandering out of his jurisdiction and even raising his cane on occasion.—Joshua Rothkopf
Tommy DeVito, Goodfellas (1990)
Joe Pesci took home Oscar gold for his firecracker portrayal of a short-tempered gangster in Martin Scorsese's thrilling Mafia drama. The character always wants to be the center of attention, but it's what he does when all eyes are on him—those uncomfortably drawn out am-I-fucking-with-you-or-not? pauses—that assures his place in the scoundrels' pantheon.—Keith Uhlich
Lord Voldemort, The Harry Potter movies (2005–11)
From his serpentine face (the missing nose is a perfect touch) to the bone-chilling way he hisses his arch-nemesis's name—"Haaa-ryyy Pahhh-ter!"—Ralph Fiennes turned J.K. Rowling's fallen wizard into the personification of that old black magic. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named doesn't really need a moniker; he simply answers to evil.—David Fear
Baby Jane Hudson, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)
Bette Davis throws subtlety to the wind in the flamboyant title role of this aging-starlet standard. Her psycho former child actor sticks in your mind not only for her memorably schizoid outbursts (parakeets, beware), but for the ferocious way Davis battles costar and real-life archenemy Joan Crawford for the spotlight.—Keith Uhlich
Colonel Kurtz, Apocalypse Now (1979)
Lording over a compound of Montagnard mercenaries like some demented slaveowner, Brando's bald, batshit colonel one-upped Joseph Conrad's conception of Kurtz as a mere colonialist run amok; you believe this guy actually possesses a heart of darkness. Whether reading T.S. Eliot aloud or decapitating soldiers, this military madman truly communicates the horror of Vietnam.—David Fear
Lars Thorwald, Rear Window (1954)
He sits in his darkened apartment, smoking a cigarette. Outside in the courtyard, a neighbor wails about her dead dog. And across the way, two more observers know that Lars (an unusually subtle Raymond Burr) is up to far more than offing pets. Alfred Hitchcock's brilliant thriller simply wouldn't work without a stone-cold killer.—Joshua Rothkopf

There's one other that certainly should be on the list...Lee Marvin as Liberty Valence.
Steve Tue Sep 4 2012 -
I agree with most of the selections but I believe the Golem from Lord of the Rings should be replaced by Ernest Borgnine's Sgt. Fatso Judson of From Here to Eternity. Also, how could the consummate villain Ramond Massey have escaped your notice? Masey played villain characters in The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Prisoner of Zenda, Santa Fe Trail, Reap the Wild Wind, Arsenic and Old Lace and many others. An Honorable Mention should go to Morgan Woodward, Boss Godfrey in Cool Hand Luke. He was the man behind the mirror sunglasses and represents, I think, the most real villain in film history.

Teen friends

No, this is not an announcement for the new high school edition of the classic sit-com, "Friends," with Joey as the class clown, Monica as the class slut, Chandler as the class nerd, etc. Nor, is "The Movie" being made. This is about the impact teen friends have on our teens. Let's face it, that impact can be more powerful than whatever dads or moms have to say. The teen years are so wildly transitional and mercurial that it is essential for parents to understand what influences their teenagers.

New adventures
Posted on 11:00am Wednesday 4th December 2013
New adventures, those we choose, are always so exciting, aren't they? Initially for some, being outside of one's comfort zone may feel a bit frightening but, like anything new (e.g. one iPhone to another), we can eventually accept the change and decide 'well, that wasn't so bad after all.' With such changes, whether big or small, we grow. Depending on the type of experience (e.g. learning how to operate that new iPhone, realising a mistake about a relationship, failing an important exam etc.), we grow in understanding. From what we learn, we have a better idea of the next step.

No one said it would be easy (being a parent)
Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 21st November 2013
There are so many clichés around parenting that I could literally fill a book. I like "no one said it would be easy" for parenting and many things. In fact, most of the best things in life aren't "easy." They may be fun, but they are often not easy. Dennis Prager has often talked about this very fact when he speaks on happiness and differentiates between what makes us happy and what is simply fun.

Like most social issues, it isn't black or white, but a combination of factors, which I'll try to illuminate from this dad's point of view.

I just love commercials and the incredible lies or, to put it nicely, exaggerations that most exclaim. I do enjoy many of the classic commercials from the past and present and get a kick – so to speak – out of the ones made expressly for The Super Bowl. But, if we allow our children to watch a lot of commercial television and therefore a lot of commercials, we are allowing Madison Avenue (yes those "Mad" people) to pollute their minds!

Men vs Women - Cars
Posted on 3:00pm Wednesday 23rd October 2013
I can't believe I haven't taken on cars in this series on Men vs. Women! There are such gigantic differences in how we look at, buy, appreciate, and deal with the horseless carriage. In many ways, I think our respective attitude about cars is emblematic of our attitudes about most everything. Again, this is not a right or wrong, just a big difference.

Online Shopping - Addiction or Atrocity
Posted on 12:13pm Saturday 19th October 2013
Have you got an iPhone or an Android phone? In today's society it's much easier to ask who hasn't got a smart phone. I have recently discovered the ebay app. Unfortunately (for me) it makes it so easy to buy things! Thousands of perfectly good clothes, at very reasonable prices are available at my fingertips. I find myself scrolling down the never-ending list of pretty skirts and shoes that are all just waiting for me to buy them.

I'm mad as hell
Posted on 11:00am Wednesday 16th October 2013
It was an iconic movie moment when Albert Finney, in Paddy Chayevsky's movie Network screamed out, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" I wonder how many readers saw that movie when it came out? Or even know of it at all? My question is why is everyone so angry these days over often very trivial things?

Why I dislike Hollywood
Posted on 1:00pm Thursday 3rd October 2013
Whenever there's a mass shooting, the mainstream media and different political factions always want to find someone to blame. The recent shootings at a naval base in D.C. promoted the usual declarations when it was pretty evident that the shooter was simply mentally unstable. So, instead of accusing our society of having a problem, why not just fix the issue of letting mentally unstable people not only have access to guns, but have unfettered freedom?

The Big Move.
Posted on 8:39pm Sunday 29th September 2013
So, two weeks ago I drove 3 and a half hours with my family to start my new life at university. There was a mix of emotions of course – excitement, fear and eagerness. I was so worried that I would miss my home, my family and friends, and miss my old life. I have indeed missed them all, but it's a good feeling.

wondering if UE users have found java programming projects easy to setup and maintain, say, versus eclipse. kinda oranges & apples but i think you know what i mean.
some features of eclipse may not be in UE but for the resource tradeoff i think i can live with that.

Review: State of Play (2009)
On my flight down to Houston Friday night, I carried my Audiovox personal DVD player and my Netflixed copy of the US adaptation of the BBC miniseries "State of Play." Through being kicked by some French four year old sitting, sleeping and being a general pain next to me, I did my best to appreciate and not simply identify the ways in which this film fell short of the miniseries.
Ultimately, it's hard to not compare the two because this is hardly a reimagining. It's a near true copy (with Americanized characterizations) of the UK roles, plot lines and mannerism. The main differences are really quite simple:
- the black victim killed in the opening scene is an actual junkie, as opposed to a falsely accused innocent (hardly a spoiler there);
- there is less depth to Dominic Foy's character;
- Della Frey and Cal McCaffery aren't truly co-workers;
- Hellen Mirren's editor has no hotshot reporting son as was played by James McAvoy in the BBC version; and
- the corporation being investigated by Stephen Collins' subcommittee, Pointcorp, is a thinly veiled version of Blackwater, whereas the BBC version condemned evil oil conglomerates, in general.
Oh, and another difference is that the miniseries is actually good.
There are some strong updates to the UK story. Most notably, the use of a Blackwater proxy proved topical and a more natural fit for misdirection and demonization. It was a solid update over the miniseries' oil company.

the bca 10: leadership award
The BCA Leadership Award recognizes an individual for his/her extraordinary vision, leadership and commitment to supporting the arts and for encouraging other businesses to follow his/her lead.
2013 - Michael B. McCallister
Michael B. McCallister
Humana, Inc.
The Humana Foundation.Joining Humana in 1974, Michael B. McCallister served as Humana�s Chief Executive Officer from 2000 until his retirement in December 2012. He has been Chairman of Humana�s board of directors since 2010 and also serves as Chairman of the Humana Foundation. In 2006, during McCallister�s tenure as Humana�s CEO, the company was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame.
As Humana�s President and CEO from 2000 to 2012, McCallister led the company to a leadership position in the health-benefits industry, and also set a standard for philanthropic giving. Under McCallister�s leadership, Humana has partnered with many arts organizations over the years that have developed innovative programs, enriching the communities where Humana associates work and live. Most notable is the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville. The award-winning Festival is the leading event of its kind, bringing new plays into the national spotlight and celebrating the American playwright. Since its founding in 1976, more than 400 plays have been produced, representing the works of more than 200 American playwrights. This relationship between Actors Theatre and the Humana Foundation is the longest-running partnership between a corporation and a theatre company in the country.
In 2012, Humana�s Fund for the Arts campaign generated a record donation of more than $1 million, the largest single monetary gift the Fund has received since it was founded in 1949, and the first time any organization raised $1 million in a single fund campaign. Impressively, the $1 million included more than $679,000 from Humana associates with $325,000 coming from the Humana Foundation. About a quarter of Louisville�s more than 11,000 Humana associates contributed to the campaign. Under McCallister�s leadership, Humana has consistently been the top workplace campaign contributor to the Fund.
To support employee volunteerism, in 2008 McCallister initiated the Humana Foundation�s Spirit of Philanthropy Award to honor a group or department of associates who display exceptional commitment to the community. Awardees are personally recognized by McCallister in a special ceremony, and are given the opportunity to select a nonprofit organization to receive a $25,000 grant from the Humana Foundation.
McCallister serves on the board of directors for AT&T, Fifth Third Bank, Bellarmine University, and the PGA Foundation Trustee board. He also serves on the College of Administration and Business Advisory Board for Louisiana Tech University, his alma mater.

Ernst & Young seeks to make a difference in helping its people, its clients and the communities where it operates achieve their potential.
James S. Turley is the Global Chairman and CEO, Ernst & Young, and under his leadership the company has consistently been recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Jim�s career at the company has spanned 35 years, with its start in 1977 at the US firm�s Houston office. In July 2001, he became Chairman and assumed the role of CEO in October 2003.
With a long-standing commitment to theater and arts education, Jim has been a dedicated leader since the beginnings of his career at Ernst & Young. Jim is actively engaged with one of the nation�s leading theatre associations, the National Corporate Theatre Fund (NCTF), serving as the Chairman of the Board for the past six years. In early 2012 at the Annual Chairman�s Awards Gala, NCTF launched its Impact Creativity campaign � a $5 million fund-raising effort to support theatre education programs in 19 American cities impacting more than 500,000 youth � with a launch gift of $200,000 from Ernst & Young LLP and its partners and principals. Turley was a 2012 Annual Chairman�s honoree along with Harry Connick, Jr., the Cleveland Play House and the Cleveland Clinic.
Impact Creativity aligns squarely with Turley�s and his company�s beliefs that the next generation needs varied experiences and quality education to succeed. The initiative brings together theatres, arts education experts and individuals to help over 500,000 children and youth, most of them disadvantaged, succeed through the arts by sustaining the theatre arts education programs threatened by today�s fiscal climate. Thanks to Turley, Ernst & Young, Clear Channel Outdoor, Aol.com and Creative Mobile Technologies, Impact Creativity has just concluded an unprecedented awareness campaign promoting theatre education that received nearly 40 million impressions.
For the 25th Anniversary of STAGES ST. LOUIS, a not-for-profit musical theatre company and performing arts academy, Jim and his wife Lynne Turley, STAGES Board Trustee, gifted the company with a $250,000 Challenge Grant. Being the largest operational grant in STAGES history, it supported the development of future productions, and theatre education and outreach initiatives.

2011 - Christopher "Kip" Forbes
Christopher "Kip" Forbes
Vice Chairman
Forbes, Inc.Forbes, Inc. is a private media company which delivers business information to millions of executives and investors worldwide. Its leading publication, Forbes, together with Forbes Asia and Europe has a global following of over five million readers. The company's website, Forbes.com, is a leading news website and, along with its other online publications, reaches nearly 20 million business decision-makers each month. Christopher Forbes is the vice chairman of Forbes, Inc. where he shares responsibility for the advertising and promotion departments.
Christopher "Kip" Forbes attributes his artistic upbringing to his father, Malcolm Forbes. An avid collector of Faberge eggs and other rare items, Forbes's father fostered his appreciation for the arts and his understanding of the arts' importance to society. Christopher Forbes graduated from Princeton University in 1972 with a bachelor's of arts in art history. While an undergraduate at Princeton, Forbes was a curator of The Forbes Collection and acquired the largest collection of English 19th-century paintings in North America. In 1985, Forbes transformed the ground floor of the Forbes, Inc. offices into The Forbes Magazine Galleries, which both distinguished it from other companies and provided an arts-rich work environment. Early on in his career, Forbes understood the mutually beneficial relationship between business and the arts and constantly worked to promote it.
Christopher Forbes expanded the program at the Forbes Galleries to showcase the artistic talents of employees, hosting not only employee art shows, but also literary readings and performing arts events. The galleries promoted new connections between employees who may not have had the opportunity to work closely beforehand. Forbes believes that "the arts not only make for a more stimulating and creative work environment, but they also have a direct impact on the bottom line."
Christopher Forbes consistently demonstrates artful leadership. He serves on the board of several arts nonprofits, including The Brooklyn Museum, The Newark Museum, The Friends of New Jersey State Museum, The New York Academy of Art, The Victorian Society in America, and The Advisory Committee of the Department of European Decorative Arts of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, just to name a few. Forbes also played a major role in the strengthening and development of the Business Committee for the Arts (BCA), serving as a member of its board for nearly two decades. Forbes then went on to help develop BCA's programming to ensure that the business community increased its support of art institutions, organizations, and the presence of art in the workplace.
Under Forbes's leadership, Forbes, Inc. was a pioneer supporter of BCA's business and arts awards, now known as The BCA 10: Best Companies Supporting the Arts in America, working to bolster art support from businesses nationwide. As a business leader who has profited from employee and customer loyalty, Forbes believes he has a responsibility to give back to those individuals and their communities by supporting an integral and vital part of society—the arts.

Darden Restaurants, Inc.
Orlando, FL"Darden is committed to making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work. One of the many ways we do that is through our support of the arts. The sharing of artistic talent and heritage promotes cultural diversity and enhances the American story, serving as an inspiration for current and future generations."
- Clarence Otis, Jr.

Clarence Otis joined the company in 1995 and was named CEO in 2004.
Clarence Otis has been inspired by the arts since his childhood. He grew up in Los Angeles near the Watts Towers Arts Center which served as the hub for the Los Angeles black arts movement in the 1970s. The artists, painters, and actors who congregated at the Towers made Otis aware of the diversity of African-American art and culture. As a result of these early experiences, he understands the role the arts can play in encouraging diversity in the workplace and in the community.
Darden Restaurants believes in supporting the community through grants, food donations, and employee volunteer time. Darden has made a $5 million commitment to help build the Dr. P. Phillips Orlando Performing Arts Center in downtown Orlando. The company also provides support to several Central Florida arts organizations as part of its Good Neighbor program: The Orlando Philharmonic, Orlando Ballet, Orlando Shakespeare Theatre, Orlando Repertory Theatre, the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities, and the Mennello Museum of American Art.
Clarence Otis and his wife, Jacqueline Bradley, have assembled a collection of works by black contemporary artists. The Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College featured art from their collection in 2007. They are also supporters of the Studio Museum in Harlem and hosted a fundraising event for the Orlando Philharmonic and the Negro Spiritual Scholarship Foundation in their home.
Darden employees generously donate nearly $100,000 annually to United Arts of Central Florida. Through its foundation, Darden matches these funds and makes additional cultural grants to United Arts and more than 20 cultural organizations, making Darden the largest corporate supporter of arts and culture in the region.
2009 - Thomas A. James
Thomas A. James
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Raymond James Financial
St. Petersburg, FLTom James is chairman and chief executive officer of Raymond James Financial, Inc., a diversified holding company that provides financial services to individuals, corporations, and municipalities through subsidiary companies. He joined the firm in 1966, and became CEO in 1970.
Tom James is president of the board of trustees of The Salvador Dal� Museum where he is presiding over the fundraising and construction of a new 60,000-square-foot museum building in St. Petersburg, FL. He was a former board member of the national Business Committee for the Arts and Raymond James was recognized in 2003 and 2008 with leadership awards from the Tampa Bay Business Committee for the Arts.
During his almost four decades as head of Raymond James, the company has given approximately $25 million to community causes and organizations. The company is committed to ensuring that creative expression remains a central part of the Tampa Bay landscape. For the past five years, it has been the title sponsor of the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. In addition to its financial support, Raymond James coordinates more than 300 volunteers during the festival. The firm is also a major supporter of The Florida Orchestra, the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, St. Petersburg�s Mahaffey Theater, and Clearwater�s Ruth Eckerd Hall.
Additionally, Raymond James has long supported the American Stage Theatre Company�recognized as Tampa Bay�s best professional regional theater troupe�through ongoing sponsorship and, in 2009, provided the lead gift for construction of the Raymond James Theatre, the new home of American Stage.
The firm�s corporate headquarters is home to The Tom and Mary James/Raymond James Financial Art Collection consisting of more than 1,800 artworks. Nearly 95 percent of the collection is owned by Tom and Mary James, and Tom selected almost every piece of artwork himself. Many of the works he chooses are by living artists because he believes buying works from living artists helps sustain them in their profession. The collection is open by invitation to the public for docent tours that annually draw about 3,000 people.
�Office space is the next best thing to a museum because we have a high traffic area with about a million square feet here,� says James. �While I might have 35 or 40 western works in my house in Florida and another 30 in my Colorado house, I�ve got about 1,400 of them, as well as 500 pieces portraying other subject matter, in the home office.� Many of Raymond James� employees who were never interested in art have become collectors or proudly bring friends to the headquarters and it is often voted one of the best places to work because of the creative environment.
The annual Associate & Affiliate Art Show typically attracts more than 400 works in various media from the firm�s employees and associates across the country. The artwork is displayed in the home office and online, with cash prizes going to winners in four categories and a People�s Choice Award voted on by all associates.
For the past ten years, The Wildlife & Western Visions Art Show has been co-sponsored by Raymond James and The Plainsmen Gallery of Clearwater, and is hosted at the Raymond James Financial headquarters each April. During the two-day show, hundreds of visitors enjoy meeting the artists and viewing their original paintings, bronze sculptures, limited edition prints, and fine Native American jewelry, all of which are available for sale.
2008 - James R. Houghton
James R. Houghton
Chairman Emeritus
Corning Incorporated
Corning, New York"I have always believed that the arts are a very important part of our society and that those of us in the business sector have a responsibility to support the arts."
- James R. Houghton
The BCA Leadership Award recognizes a business executive who demonstrates exceptional vision, leadership and commitment in developing and encouraging business alliances with the arts throughout his/her career.James (Jamie) R. Houghton has been a champion of the arts throughout his career. Under Jamie's direction, Corning Incorporated built a new headquarters in the early 1990s. A dynamic and engaging environment—one that inspired and enabled communication and innovation—was the prime objective. The building is a modern structure, which appropriately employs the imaginative use of glass to enhance its architectural features. The building's eleven skylit atria each showcase a permanent glass sculpture. Jamie commissioned a group of world-renowned glass artists— including Dale Chihuly, Peter Aldridge, and Donald Lipski—to create these works. The sculptures are part of the building's distinctive character and communicate the message of the vast potential of glass—the core material of Corning's business.
In 1996 he received Corning's Market Street Historic Preservation Leadership Award for his dedication to redeveloping the city of Corning. In addition to encouraging artists to establish studios in the city, he served on the Board of the Market Street Restoration Agency (MSRA) from 1997 to 2000. He continues to be a board member emeritus, and through his leadership at Corning Incorporated has seen that MSRA continues to be supported financially through Corning's Gaffer District (the district encompassing downtown Corning and Corning Incorporated).
Jamie has served on the Board of the Corning Museum of Glass since April 1970. He was president of the Board from 1988–1997 and has served as vice president from 1997 to the present. He is a founding member of the Museum's Ennion Society, an honorary society comprised of donors of $1,000 or more. With his wife, Maisie, he has been a generous donor to the Museum's collection.
Jamie also served as a Trustee of the Rockwell Museum of Western Art, Corning, New York from 1983–1997 when he was elected a Trustee Emeritus. He was on the Board of the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, New York from 1968–1975, and he served on the Board of the New York State Council on the Arts from 1971–1979.
Outside of Corning, Jamie has been on the Board of Trustees of the Pierpont Morgan Library since 1975. He has been vice president of this Board since 1988 and is also a member of the Executive Committee. In 1989 he was the Chairman of the Library's $40 million capital campaign that raised funds for an expansion that included the acquisition and renovation of the Morgan house, as well as endowment capital. He also served on the search committee that selected Renzo Piano as architect of the museum's $105 million expansion and renovation project. Jamie is a founding member of the Director's Roundtable at the Morgan.
Jamie has served on the Board of Trustees of The Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1982 and has been the Chairman of the Board since 1998. Under his leadership, the Museum opened new Greek and Roman Galleries which enabled the Museum to display hundreds of works that had been in storage for decades. He oversaw a capital campaign that increased the original campaign goal of $400 million to $650 million. This campaign funded the Mary and Michael Jaharis Gallery which opened in 1999, as well as curatorial and conservation work, special exhibitions, publications, education, and concerts and lectures.
Jamie has been recognized numerous times for his support of the arts. In 1992, he received the New York State Preservation League Pillar of New York Award. He was elected a Fellow for Life of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1994. In 1996, he accepted The National Alliance of Business Lyndon Baines Johnson Award for Distinguished Service in Building Successful Public/Private Partnerships and in the same year he also accepted the first Caron Foundation Distinguished Corporate Citizen Award on behalf of Corning Incorporated. In 1997, the American Craft Museum honored him with its Visionaries Award.
Because of his deep involvement with the arts, Jamie is frequently a speaker at arts events. He has spoken passionately of the role the arts play in developing the kind of workers business needs today, pointing out that many new media technology companies look for strong arts backgrounds in potential employees, as indicators of people skilled in communications and teamwork. He also notes that in business today capital, technology, and natural resources can be had virtually anywhere in the world, but workers with superior skills are the one resource that is not easily transferable.
Jamie was a director of the national Business Committee for the Arts, Inc. from 1969–1996. In 1995, Corning Incorporated was named to the BCA Hall of Fame.

The inaugural exhibition in the new Bloch Building, Manet to Matisse: Impressionist Masters from the Marion and HenryBloch Collection, featured the Blochs' personal collection of Impressionist paintings. This was the first time this collection has been exhibited publicly. Henry served as trustee of the museum from 1983 to 2007 and as Chairman of the Board from 2004 to 2007. In 1985, he created the Business Council at the Nelson-Atkins which has become a valuable support organization that continues to help the museum grow and enhance its mission.
In 1974, Henry established The H&R Block Foundation and serves as its Chairman. The foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life by responding to the changing needs of people and communities through thoughtful, innovative and responsible philanthropy.
Under Henry's guidance, the foundation created the H&R Block Artspace in collaboration with the Kansas City Art Institute, a college of art and design where he served as Director. The Artspace supports the creation and presentation of contemporary art by international, national and regional artists through exhibitions, publications, public art projects, educational programs, partnerships, and innovative professional development opportunities for students and exhibiting artists.
In 2001, the H&R Block Foundation created the Henry Wollman Bloch Fountain at Union Station as a gift to the people of Kansas City. Union Station, a former railroad station built in 1914, was renovated in 1999 and is now the home of Science City – an educational center that preserves and interprets Kansas City's regional history. Kansas City, known as the City of Fountains, is believed to have more public fountains than any city other than Rome.
Henry is also one of 11 founding trustees of the Kansas City Symphony. The founding trustees, all businessmen and philanthropists, recognized the city's need for a symphony and established an initial endowment for the symphony in 1983. He also served as the Honorary Chairman of the Symphony Ball, the symphony's annual fundraiser. And, he is a former member of the Corporate Fund of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.
In 2000, Henry Bloch helped to establish the Kansas City Business Committee for the Arts to increase business involvement with the arts at the local level. He remains the Honorary Chairman of this organization. According to Henry, "Being a member of the Kansas City BCA is a win-win-win-win for our metro-area companies. It's a win for the artists with whom they partner, a win for the Kansas City community, a win for the employees, and a win for the member businesses." Additionally, he served on the board of the national Business Committee for the Arts from 2002 through 2006.
Throughout his life, Henry has been an avid champion for the arts. He has devoted considerable leadership, vision and resources to enrich the arts for the benefit of those living in and visiting Kansas City and on the national level he has worked tirelessly to engage businesses with the arts to ensure the arts may be enjoyed by all.

The BCA Leadership Award recognizes a business executive who demonstrates exceptional vision, leadership and commitment in developing and encouraging business alliances with the arts throughout his/her career.
Making the arts part of the everyday experience, providing opportunities for young and emerging artists, and embracing cultural diversity to heighten understanding are the focal points of J. Barry Griswell's vision for nurturing the growth of the arts in the United States.
In Des Moines, Iowa, the headquarter city of Principal Financial Group, Barry's vision and leadership has helped spawn the development of two major projects. BRAVO Greater Des Moines - a collaboration established in 2004 - brings 15 arts and cultural groups together for the first time to develop joint marketing, strategic planning, fundraising efforts and strategies for cross-selling. The Principal Riverwalk - a $60 million project, will transform the city by connecting the east and west sides of downtown Des Moines through a series of pathways and bridges and includes major works of art including one by Joel Shapiro.
Under Barry's leadership, The Principal has developed a 760-piece museum-quality art collection to share with the public, has underwritten a 70-city, three year tour of Treasures to Go, an exhibition of works from the Smithsonian collection that would have remained in storage during the renovation of several museums, and has been a champion and founding sponsor of the Des Moines Art Festival - the fourth largest event of its type in the U.S.

Following Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls, LeBron James told reporters about his frustrations with the Bulls getting away with fouls he believed should have been ruled as flagrant. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he didn't want didn't want to hear any complaints from James during an interview with WEEI on Thursday, calling it, "embarrassing." "I think the referees got the calls right. I don't think it was a hard foul," Ainge said on Salk & Holley. "I think the one involving LeBron against Boozer, that was flagrant. I think the officials got it right. "I think that it's almost embarrassing that LeBron would complain about officiating."

Work Study is a need-based employment funded by the Federal Work Study program. Awards are based on a financial need calculation using the FAFSA. Students must maintain full time enrollment to be eligible for work study. Work study awards are generally $1200-$2000 per year with the average student working 6-10 hours per week. The work study award is not a guarantee of employment.
Students receive a listing of work study positions. It is the responsibility of the student to set up a meeting with the supervisor for a job interview. The supervisor will contact the Financial Aid Office with an offer to hire. The Financial Aid Office will send an authorization form to the supervisor once all requirements for employment are completed. Students must provide two forms of state/federal ID and complete tax withholding paperwork with the HR office before authorization is completed.
Students are to keep track of their times on a Monthly Auto-calculated Excel timesheet. These timesheets are located on the IWC L: drive under the Human Resources folders in the Student Timesheet folder. There will be a new timecard saved in this location for each month. It is the responsibility of the Work Study Supervisor to see that their student workers receive the timecard for the appropriate pay period month.
Student's timesheets are due to HR no later than the 5th of the month following their monthly pay period. Any time card submitted after this due date will be delayed and processed with the next payroll.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is a Hindi film made in 1999. It was released in the English-speaking world as Straight from the Heart. It was filmed throughout the Gujarat-Rajasthan border region, in addition to Budapest, Hungary, which was used to represent Italy. It stars Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, and Aishwarya Rai and is centred around a love triangle.
*Salman Khan ... Sameer *Ajay Devgan ... Vanraj *Aishwarya Rai ... Nandini *Vikram Gokhale ... Pandit Darbar *Zohra Sehgal ... Dadi *Smita Jaykar ... Amrita *Vinay Pathak ... Tarun *Helen ... Sameers Mother *Rajeev Verma ... Vanrajs Father
The music was composed by Ismail Darbar, with lyrics by Mehboob. It has been called one of the greatest of the modern Hindi soundracks. It received numerous Filmfare Awards nominations in the music and singing categories, and produced some winners as well.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was well received by most critics. In particular, Aishwarya Rai was lavishly praised in her role, which many critics considered to be sensitively played by the actress. The film was a hit at the Indian box office, becoming the third highest grossing of the Bollywood films of 1999. It also did well in the foreign box office, which was mostly credited to Aishwarya Rais box office draw among NRIs. As such, the film is considered to be a breakthrough role for her, not only winning her critical acclaim, but also cementing her box office stature. Salman Khans performance is considered as one of the best in his career.
Plot summary
The story of the movie is adopted from Maitreyi Devis bengali novel Na Hanyate. Nandini [Aishwarya Rai] is the daughter of Pandit Darbar [Vikram Gokhale], renowned proponent of Indian classical music, living in the Rann of Kutch. Nandini has been brought up with more freedom and education than her siblings, as she is the most beloved of Pandit Darbar. Into this carefree life enters Sameer [Salman Khan], a boy of Indo-Italian parentage who wants to learn Indian classical music from Pandit Darbar. Sameer stays with the Darbar family, and Nandini is asked to vacate her room to give the guest the nicest room in the manor. Nandini takes a dislike to Sameer, and the two keep playing pranks on each other, but soon realise they are in love. Their love blossoms in the Darbar household around weddings, festivals and family get togethers. One day the pair are caught rehearsing their wedding vows and dreaming of their future together by Pandit Darbar, who becomes furious with them. He has already planned Nandinis wedding. Sameer is kicked out of the house and asked never to contact Nandini again. Sameer does not leave India immediately. He stays in town and writes letters to Nandini asking her to join him, but his letters do not reach her in time. Nandinis parents have arranged to get her married to Vanraj [Ajay Devgan] - who had fallen in love with Nandini during her cousins wedding. On the wedding night, Vanraj realises that Nandini is not herself, and tries to ask her why she is not responding to his love. He asks her for the truth, promising he will help her no matter what. Nandini stays quiet, but is later caught reading Sameers letters. Vanraj is very angry at first as all he had asked was the truth from her. When he realises that his wife is in love with another man, he shows the ultimate love by taking Nandini to Italy and help her search for Sameer, much to the dislike of his own parents. Nandini and Vanraj arrive in Italy and start searching for Sameer, but always come up against a dead end. During their search, they face many problems and dilemmas and slowly Nandini gets to see what Vanraj really is like. She sees Vanraj selflessly devoting himself to caring for her during her stay in hospital after an incident. Eventually they get news about Sameer [through his mother - played by Helen], and Vanraj arranges for Nandini to meet Sameer on the night of his debut concert. His job done, Vanraj says goodbye to Nandini and walks away. Nandini and Sameer meet, but Nandinis feelings for him have changed. She reflects on the unwavering love and devotion that Vanraj showed her throughout their whole relationship, and realises that she loves him. She leaves Sameer to go after Vanraj.

Hi all, I've been racking my brain trying to come up with the materials that I need for a custom instrument Im building.
This instrument is all custom and includes a Dragon head inlaid into the headstock with lots of inlay. The problem is I need "wicked" eyes...I mean red wicked...evil dragon eyes. Almost glowing with anticipation at roasting you alive evil dragon eyes. Red color is what I want and can inlay either shell type material or possibly powdered material?? Can you get sintered ruby powder? Any other suggestions?
Also I need to do the veins of the wings in a color that is not standoutish but "there". They need to be subtle against the ebony background but need to be visible when you look close. I was thinking everything from tarnished copper powder set in epoxy to black mother of pearl cut into fine thin segments. I dont want to say more about it but the veins are against black ebony and the eyes need to be REAL red.

Goldsboro, North Carolina Tuesday, December 25, 2012
Queen Anne's Revenge was the flagship of Edward Teach, a pirate more commonly known as "Blackbeard." While sailing along the Atlantic coast in the early 18th century, Blackbeard and his crew ran aground off North Carolina and abandoned the ship. The vessel was finally found in 1996, and soon after the state of North Carolina began excavating the site. Shanna Daniel – a conservator on the project - talks about the history of the ship and some of the artifacts recovered at the site. The Wayne County Museum in Goldsboro, North Carolina hosted this hour-long event.
