The tragedy unfolding after Japan's Tsunami and earthquake will have economic consequences for many companies and sectors, and Australia is tipped to suffer minimal loss in the gaming and gambling sector.
The All Ordinaries index has fallen by almost 1% today as the market tries its best to assess the effects on individual companies, and the gaming - leisure - lifestyle sector has suffered some loss, but not as much as many other sectors, with the insurance sector being one of the hardest hit, but we know its hard to feel too much compassion to our friends in the insurance sector, always ready to collect policy money, but often too slow to hand out claim money.
Insurance risk modelling group AIR Worldwide estimating that total insured losses could range up to $US34.5 billion (excluding tsunami damage), QBE Insurance was probably the first stock to mind for most Australian investors.
Japanese commercial property investors Astro Japan Property Group and Galileo Japan Trust have taken a hit. Both have reassured investors that their physical assets have not been substantially impacted.
Paladin Energy and ERA are in the mix of the largest price falls in the ASX 200 index. The market is spot on to question how an unfolding nuclear emergency might affect the future for these two uranium miners.
There might be a second round effect on Australia's tourism industry. Japanese are the 5th largest group of inbound tourists. They tend to be short duration, high margin "package" travellers. This will likely have an impact on Virgin Blue and Qantas. Hotel operators are also concerned. Many hotels are also linked to casinos. Tabcorp owns Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast, Conrad Treasury and Jupiters Townsville. Star City casino in 'Sin City' Sydney shouldn't't suffer too much, neither should Crown Casino owned by James Packer's Crown Limited. One may speculate if some Japanese casino - gambling whales may been keen to come to Australia soon to escape the chaos in their native Japan.
BlueScope shares jumped 7%. Australia's coal industry chat is that the quake may further cement the importance on natural resources like Aussie coal, with nuclear power taking a massive dive in public relations, as the Japanese government gives more warning to those still alive who live in regions close to their nuclear reactors, more of which have suffered damage and continue into meltdown.
The Japanese disasters have had a minimal financial impact in Australia, buy tourism may be the worst effected, and construction and minerals are tipped to remain financial gainers.
It's unclear at present on how the Japanese disasters may have effected Japaneses based igaming companies, but many website portals have backups, so backup servers have likely kicked in. The Asian Poker Tour website is on the air and appears not effected.
Be alert to natural disasters (or some say their are man made), but that's another article best left for the likes of our friends Jesse Ventura of Conspiracy Theory and mate Alex Jones at InfoWars, since there's a battle on for your minds, as Alex keeps telling us. There's also a global economic crisis, so don't take gambles you can't afford to loose.
We wish our friends and associates in Japan well. God speed.

Q: Hibernate not releasing connections from connection pool I'm creating an application with Hibernate JPA and I use c3p0 for connection pooling with MySQL. I have an issue with the number of connections to the MySQL database as it hits the 152 opened connections, this is not wanted since I define in my c3p0 config file the max pool size to 20, and of course I close every entity manager I get from the EntityManagerFactory after committing every transaction.
For every time a controller is executed, I notice more than 7 connections are opened, and if I refresh, then 7 connections are opened again without the past idle connections being closed. And in every DAO function I call, the em.close() is executed. I admit here that the issue is in my code, but I don't know what I am doing wrong here.
This is the Sondage.java entity:
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name="Sondage.findAll", query="SELECT s FROM Sondage s")
public class Sondage implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public Sondage() {}

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private int id;

    private String name;

    private byte needLocation;

    //bi-directional many-to-one association to ResultatSondage
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "sondage", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @OrderBy("sondage ASC")
    private List<ResultatSondage> resultatSondages;

    //bi-directional many-to-one association to SondageSection
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "sondage", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private List<SondageSection> sondageSections;
}

And here's my DAO class:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static List<Sondage> GetAllSondage() {
    EntityManager em = PersistenceManager.getEntityManager();
    List<Sondage> allSondages = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
        em.getTransaction().begin();
        Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT s FROM Sondage s");
        allSondages = query.getResultList();
        em.getTransaction().commit();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        if (em.getTransaction().isActive()) {
            em.getTransaction().rollback();
        }
        allSondages = null;
    } finally {
        em.close();
    }
    return allSondages;
}

As you see, em is closed. In my JSP, I do this: I know this is not the good way of doing thing in the view side.

        <%@include file="../../../Includes/header.jsp" %>

الاستمارات

        <%
            List<Sondage> allSondages = (List<Sondage>) request.getAttribute("sondages");

            for (int i = 0; i < allSondages.size(); i++) {
        %>
        <a  href="${pageContext.request.contextPath }/auth/dosurvey?id=<%= allSondages.get(i).getId()%>"><%= allSondages.get(i).getName()%>
        <%
            if (request.getSession().getAttribute("user") != null) {
                Utilisateur user = (Utilisateur) request.getSession().getAttribute("user");
                if (user.getType().equals("admin")) {
        %>
        <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath }/aauth/editsurvey?id=<%= allSondages.get(i).getId()%>">تعديل
        <%
                }
            }
        %>

        <%
            }
        %>

I'm guessing that every time I call user.getType(), a request is established ? If so, how can I prevent this?
For c4p0 config file, I included it in persistence.xml, I saw several posts saying that I need to put the c3p0 config file in c3p0-config.xml, but with my setup the c3p0 is initialized with the values I pass in the persistence.xml file, also the mysql connections are reaching 152 connections but the maxpoolsize is at 20, here's the persistence.xml file

EDIT: I'm deploying the Application to a red hat server with Tomcat and MySQL Installed. I'm just wondering why Hibernate is opening too much connections to MySQL, with all entity managers closed no connection will remain open, but this is not the case. I'm guessing and correct me if I'm true that the connections are opened when I do something like this:
List<Sondage> allSondages = SondageDao.getAllSondages();

for (Sondage sondage : allSondages) {
    List<Question> questions = sondage.getQuestions();
    //code to display questions for example
}

Here when I use sondage.getQuestions(), does Hibernate open a connection to the database and doesn't close it after, am I missing something in the configuration file that close or return connection to pool when it's done with it. Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT2 :
Since people are asking for versions, here they are :
JAVA jre 1.8.0_25
Apache Tomcat v7.0
hibernate-core-4.3.10
hibernate c3p0 4.3.10.final
hibernate-jpa 2.1
Thanks in advance
The mysql version is Mysql 5.6.17 if that can help...
EDIT 4: as people are getting confused about witch version of the code I posted is buggy, let me edit this so you'll know what happens exactly:
First I'll start by showing what's the buggy code, as you guys don't care about what's working:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static List<Sondage> GetAllSondage() {
    EntityManager em = PersistenceManager.getEntityManager();
    List<Sondage> allSondages = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
       em.getTransaction().begin();
       Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT s FROM Sondage s");
       allSondages = query.getResultList();
       em.getTransaction().commit();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    if (em.getTransaction().isActive()) {
        em.getTransaction().rollback();
    }
    allSondages = null;
    } finally {
        em.close();
    }
    return allSondages;
  }

So this is basically what I did for all my dao functions, I know transaction is not needed here, since I saw questions pointing that transactions are important for connection to close. beside this , I getEntityManager from PersistenceManager class that has an EntityManagerFactory singleton Object, so getEntityManager creates an entityManager from the EntityManagerFactory singleton Object:=> code is better than 1000 word :
PesistenceManager.java:
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
    import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
    import javax.persistence.Persistence;

    public class PersistenceManager
    {
    private static EntityManagerFactory emf = null;

    public static EntityManager getEntityManager()
    {
        return getEntityManagerFactory().createEntityManager();
    }

    public static EntityManagerFactory getEntityManagerFactory()
    {
            if(emf == null) {
                    emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("CAOE");
                    return emf;
        }
            else
                    return emf;
        }
}

Yes this is cool and all good, but where's the problem?
The problem here is that this version opens the connections and never close them, the em.close() have no effect, it keeps the connection open to the database.
The noob fix:
What I did to fix this issue is create an EntityManagerFactory for every request, it mean that the dao looks something like this:
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static List<Sondage> GetAllSondage() {
    //this is the method that return the EntityManagerFactory Singleton Object
    EntityManagerFactory emf = PersistenceManager.getEntitManagerFactory();
    EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
        List<Sondage> allSondages = new ArrayList<>();
        try {
            em.getTransaction().begin();
            Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT s FROM Sondage s");
            allSondages = query.getResultList();
            em.getTransaction().commit();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        if (em.getTransaction().isActive()) {
            em.getTransaction().rollback();
        }
        allSondages = null;
        } finally {
        em.close();
        emf.close();
    }
    return allSondages;
}

Now this is bad and I'll just keep it while I don't have answer for this question (it seems like forver :D ). So with this code basically All connections gets closed after hibernate doesn't need them. Thanks in advance for any efforts you put in this question :)

A: You call Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("CAOE") every time. It is wrong. Each call createEntityManagerFactory creates new (indepented) connection pool. You should cache EntityManagerFactory object somewhere.
EDIT:
Also you should manually shutdown EntityManagerFactory. You can do it in @WebListener:
@WebListener
public class AppInit implements ServletContextListener {

    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {}

    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
         PersistenceManager.closeEntityMangerFactory();
    }
}

Otherwise each case of redeploy is source of leaked connections.

A: Can you try the following:
<property name="hibernate.connection.release_mode" value="after_transaction" />
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class" value="jta" />

instead of your current release mode?

A: Since sibnick has already answered the technical questions I'll try to address some points you seem to be confused about. So let me give you some ideas on how a hibernate application and connection-pool is intended to work:

*

*Opening a database connection is an "expensive" operation. In order to avoid having to pay that cost for each and every request, you use a connection-pool. The pool opens a certain number of connections to the database in advance and when you need one you can borrow one of those existing connections. At the end of the transaction, these connections will not be closed but returned to the pool so they can be borrowed by the next request. Under heavy load, there might be too few connections to serve all requests so the pool might open additional connections that might be closed later on but not at once.

*Creating an EntityManagerFactory is even more expensive (it will create caches, open a new connection-pool, etc.), so, by all means, avoid doing it for every request. Your response-times will become incredibly slow. Also creating too many EntityManagerFactories might exhaust your PermGen-space. So only create one EntityManagerFactory per application/persistence-context, create it at application startup (otherwise the first request will take too long) and close it upon application shutdown.

Bottom line: When using a connection-pool you should expect a certain number of DB-connections to remain open for the lifetime of your application. What must not happen is that the number increases with every request. If you insist on having the connections closed at the end of the session don't use a pool and be prepared to pay the price.

A: I think that Hibernate and C3P0 are behaving correctly here. In fact you should see that there are always at least three connections to the database open as per your C3P0 configuration.
When you execute a query Hibernate will use a connection from the pool and then return it when it is done. It will not close the connection. C3P0 might shrink the pool if the min size is exceeded and some of the connections time out.
In your final example you see the connections closed because you've shut down your entity manager factory and therefore your connection pool as well.

A: I ran into the same problem and was able to fix it by creating a singleton wrapper class for the EntityManagerFactory and creating the EntityManager where it's needed. You're having the connection overload problem because you're wrapping the EntityManager creation in the singleton class, which is wrong. The EntityManager provides the transaction scope (should not be re-used), the EntityManagerFactory provides the connections (should be re-used).
from: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/jpa/overview
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;

public final class EMF {
    private static final EntityManagerFactory emfInstance =
        Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("CAOE");

private EMF() {}

public static EntityManagerFactory get() {
    return emfInstance;
    }
}

and then use the factory instance to create an EntityManager for each request.
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import EMF;

// ...
EntityManager em = EMF.get().createEntityManager();

A: In my application property i have some datasource related parameter. Those are given bellow:
# DataSource Parameter
minPoolSize:5
maxPoolSize:100
maxIdleTime:5
maxStatements:1000
maxStatementsPerConnection:100
maxIdleTimeExcessConnections:10000

Here, **maxIdleTime** value is the main culprit. It takes value in second. Here maxIdleTime=5 means after 5 seconds if connection is not using then it will release the connection and it will take the minPoolSize:5 connection. Here maxPoolSize:100 means it will take maximum 100 connection at a time.
In my DataSource Configuration class i have a bean. Here is the example code:
import com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

@Autowired
    private Environment env;

 @Bean
    public ComboPooledDataSource dataSource(){
        ComboPooledDataSource dataSource = new ComboPooledDataSource();

        try {
            dataSource.setDriverClass(env.getProperty("db.driver"));
            dataSource.setJdbcUrl(env.getProperty("db.url"));
            dataSource.setUser(env.getProperty("db.username"));
            dataSource.setPassword(env.getProperty("db.password"));
            dataSource.setMinPoolSize(Integer.parseInt(env.getProperty("minPoolSize")));
            dataSource.setMaxPoolSize(Integer.parseInt(env.getProperty("maxPoolSize")));
            dataSource.setMaxIdleTime(Integer.parseInt(env.getProperty("maxIdleTime")));
            dataSource.setMaxStatements(Integer.parseInt(env.getProperty("maxStatements")));
            dataSource.setMaxStatementsPerConnection(Integer.parseInt(env.getProperty("maxStatementsPerConnection")));
            dataSource.setMaxIdleTimeExcessConnections(10000);

        } catch (PropertyVetoException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return dataSource;
    }

Hope this will solve your problem :)

A: Looks like issue is related to Hibernate bug. Please try to specify fetch strategy EAGER in your OneToMany annotations.
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "sondage", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)

News Release 1-Feb-2017
New study finds extensive use of fluorinated chemicals in fast food wrappers
image: Samples were collected from a total of 27 fast food restaurant chains including McDonald's, Burger King, Chipotle, Starbucks, Jimmy Johns, Panera and Chick-Fil-A, in and around Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The study did not include takeout containers, such as Chinese food boxes or pizza boxes. view more

Americans may be consuming fast food wrapped in paper treated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) -- the same chemicals used in stain-resistant products, firefighting materials and nonstick cookware, according to a new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Researchers tested more than 400 samples of packaging materials, including hamburger and sandwich wrappers, pastry bags, beverage cups and French fry containers, and found evidence of fluorinated compounds called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Of the materials tested, these chemicals were found in 56 percent of dessert and bread wrappers, 38 percent of sandwich and burger wrappers and 20 percent of paperboard.
Previous studies have shown that these PFASs can migrate, contaminating the food and, when consumed, accumulating in the body.
"This is a really persistent chemical," said Graham Peaslee, a professor of experimental nuclear physics in the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame, who tested the samples. "It gets in the bloodstream, it stays there and accumulates. There are diseases that correlate to it, so we really don't want this class of chemicals out there."
Peaslee used a novel specialized method called particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) spectroscopy, which he developed to analyze the total fluorine content of each piece of packaging. PIGE is an efficient and cost-effective way to measure the presence of chemicals like fluorine in solid samples.
Previous studies have linked PFASs to kidney and testicular cancers, thyroid disease, low birth weight and immunotoxicity in children, among other health issues. The chemicals have an especially long half-life and take many years before just 50 percent of the intake leaves the human body.
"These chemicals don't biodegrade. They don't naturally degrade. They persist in the environment for a very long time," Peaslee said.
The results are concerning when considering the role of fast food in the American diet. The National Center for Health Statistics reported one-third of U.S. children consume fast food daily.
Samples were collected from a total of 27 fast food restaurant chains including McDonald's, Burger King, Chipotle, Starbucks, Jimmy Johns, Panera and Chick-Fil-A, in and around Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The study did not include takeout containers, such as Chinese food boxes or pizza boxes.
Upon the results of the study, researchers reached out to each of the fast food chains that had been sampled to see if they were aware the packaging being used contained fluorinated chemicals. Only two responded, each stating they believed their packaging was free of PFASs -- one went so far as to state they had received verification from their supplier. But the study showed both respondents had tested positive for a substantial amount of fluorinated chemicals, leading researchers to believe that some chains may be unaware of what's in their packaging.
"This is a wake-up call for those companies and the consumers," Peaslee said.
Those involved in the study are hopeful the results will encourage fast food restaurants to choose nontoxic alternatives such as plastic coatings, aluminum foil or wax paper.
Peaslee conducted his research as a professor at Hope College. Since joining the University of Notre Dame, he is leading installation of a facility in the Nuclear Science Laboratory at the University to perform PIGE tests routinely on consumer products and environmental samples in the future.
Co-authors include researchers and scientists from the Silent Spring Institute, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Green Science Policy Institute, the Environmental Working Group, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, as well as the University of California at Berkeley and Hope College.

EFFI.GI.BI.
MOODY- brand , which won the hearts of many.
Coccapani (Kokkapani) is a fashionable, stylish brand, synonymous with such concepts as "femininity", "elegance", and "exclusivity."
The brand is famous for its, just the same, divine collections of women's clothing, filled with dresses worthy of the first beauties of the world. It seems that after such a characteristic it is already inappropriate to mention the magnificent, incomparable quality, stylish design and many bold and unique design solutions.
Manufacturing country: Italy.
Country of origin of products: United States of America.
From the first lines of our description, we want to warn you that this is not about a typical Italian-American brand. Stamps that originate from the United States of America usually have good quality, affordability and simplicity. American designers always rely on the convenience and comfort of their customers. Their style is usually laconic.
But Italian masters are able to create the most real fashion works of art. High style, chic and luxury, a touch of romance and passion – this is what distinguishes the work of designers from the "cradle of fashion". Thus, by combining American practicality and Italian sophistication, a unique fashion company was obtained – Coccapani (Kokkapani).
The author of the brand is the famous Italian Giorgio Ferrari (Giorgio Ferrari), who at one time was engaged in the restoration of a luxurious villa that belonged to the highly respected Coccapani family (Kokkapani). The villa is truly a masterpiece of architectural art, and the master was inspired by her beauty. Elegant lines, perfect forms made such an indelible impression on the maestro that he decided to show this beauty to the whole world. Catching the mannerisms and style, Giorgio Ferrari (Giorgio Ferrari) has created a unique fashion brand of luxury.
Such a miracle could not be unnoticed. Already in 1993, Claudia Schiffer (Claudia Schiffer) herself became the face of an advertising campaign for Giorgio Ferrari (Giorgio Ferrari). Moreover, the model was very pleased with such fruitful cooperation, which lasted for seven years. Very quickly, Coccapani (Kokkapani) became popular not only in Italy, but throughout Europe, and then throughout the world. Milan (Italy) officially met this brand in one thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven. It was love at first sight. The audience applauded the new brand and its outfits, and fashion critics gave the show the highest rating. Coccapani (Kokkepeni) now flaunts: Adriana Sklenarikova, Eva Herzigova, Megan Gale, Sabrina Ferilli and Valeria Marini.
Until two thousand and two, the company bore the name The Marchese Coccapani (The Marquis Kokkapani), and then changed to a more concise – Coccapani (Kokkapani).
Perhaps this is a coincidence, but after the name change, the brand became not just popular, but megapopular. Products with the Coccapani logo (Kokkapani) were in demand and purchased, the company could hardly cope with the satisfaction of the requests of its fans.
Today, elite women's clothing from the fashionable Italian manufacturer Coccapani (Kokkepani) is simply in great demand among stylish, fashionable, business and successful women who are well versed in modern trends. The widest range of products, which includes literally everything that a modern woman of fashion will need, ranging from luxurious, stylish dresses to comfortable, high-quality T-shirts, allows each lover of sophisticated style to choose the most suitable model for her.
The richest color palette, a huge variety of styles, very interesting, sometimes just a virtuoso cut – these are features that consistently distinguish clothing from Coccapani (Kokkapani) from any other. The combination of noble classical forms with bold, original decorative elements, sensual, delicate and feminine drawings, with bold, unique and fashionable prints, create a unique contrast, typical of the clothes only Italian production. The manufacture of some collections takes place in the United States of America, which allows Coccapani (Cockapani) to significantly expand its circle of influence without spending large funds on it.
The brand Coccapani (Kokkapani) is designed for experienced women of fashion with excellent taste, who prefer to wear only luxury clothing. This is fashion for courageous, self-confident aristocratic women who always and everywhere choose only the best.
The direction of the fashionable Italian manufacturer: quality, elitism, independence.
Products brand Coccapani (Kokkapani) is in the high price category and is very expensive.

Of One's Hour is a performance and installation composed of 6 10 minute sections. There are static images with live bodies, invoking the history of the tableau vivant, as well as performers conducting minimal, evocative tasks. One performer stands behind the stage curtain, with only their hands visible. These hands slowly and elegantly pull tissues out of a tissue box one by one, and letting them fall to the floor over the course of the performance, creating an accumulating pile. One performer slowly walks forward in a reflective garment, becoming illuminated by another performer wearing a headlamp in the audience; then she recedes back into the darkness. A performer drinks hidden beers out of another performer's shoe, and then massages this performer with a rose in an electric drill.

06 Sep 2017What Do You Think?
Summing Up: What Are the Limits of CEO Activism?
Do CEOs have a responsibility to speak out when they encounter social injustice? James Heskett's readers offer a variety of viewpoints.
Summing Up: Should Boards Specify Limits on CEO Activism?
Opinions about suitable CEO activism—taking public positions and actions on social issues-—in reaction to this month's column were varied and nuanced. This reflected what DDB identified as "a huge new challenge for CEO's" and a complicated one, according to Rob Jones. But only three respondents addressed the question of limits on the practice. More about that below.
Shaun Greene's comment raised a question for all of us to consider. He said, "The limits are simply the CEO's contract. If the board wants limits, put them in the contract." Of course this leads to the question of whether or not this sort of thing can be contracted. Should boards specify limits on CEO activism? What do you think?
A series of recent events triggered the question at the top of this column. They began with a statement by President Trump suggesting that "both sides"—one group that included neo-Nazis and the KKK and another group of counter-protesters—were to blame for the violence, injuries, and deaths on or near the University of Virginia campus last month. This prompted Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier to resign from the president's American Manufacturing Council, citing the president's failure to condemn "hatred, bigotry and group supremacy." Frazier's action triggered a mass exodus of other CEOs from two business advisory groups created by the president.
One of the responsibilities of a CEO is to determine the degree to which personal identification, and by extension the organization's identification, with social issues is appropriate. Of course, all major business organizations participate in lobbying activities through an association or by other means. It is pretty much assumed. CEO "activism"—taking a public stand or action for or against a social issue—is something else.
As Thomas Cech, a Merck board member, put it, "You put your name and your company's name in the spotlight, and people who don't like what you did can find ways to try to retaliate." That includes customers, employees, suppliers, lenders, and government. After all, many organizations rely on government for fair or outright supportive legislation.
This is not a simple decision driven only by personal feelings. On one level, it requires analyzing the economic consequences of any particular action, something hard to do in advance of an action.
A CEO's activism depends on how strongly (and uniformly) a CEO, his or her board, and senior executives in the organization, feel about an issue. In the case of Frazier, another of his board members, Leslie Brun, suggested that his race had something to do with how strongly he felt about acting. As Brun put it, "As you can imagine, as the only African American in that position, on that council, you can't take yourself out of your own personal context." Still, is that a sufficient justification for Frazier's action? As it turns out, it was audacious. For more than 24 hours (long enough for the president to attack Frazier and his company on Twitter), no other CEO serving with Frazier on the president's business advisory committees issued a statement of support for him.
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, professor at the Yale School of Management, reminds us that CEOs today are under pressures that their predecessor "business statesmen" like GE's Reginald Jones may not have experienced. "They don't have the time or the support in their boardrooms to be corporate statespeople," he commented.
When is personal, public action called for? In this situation, is a CEO's primary responsibility to customers, employees, or shareholders? To what extent should personal feelings or values play a part? What are the limits of CEO activism? What do you think?

RIYL: Haim's Women in Music Pt. III
A playlist to extend the SoCal sisters' most eclectic album yet, ranging from En Vogue to Joni Mitchell, Sheryl Crow to Lou Reed
Graphic by Drew Litowitz
Haim's new album, Women in Music Pt. III, holds many superlatives in their career: It is the Los Angeles sister act's longest album, featuring their most intimate writing and most experimental production. It also houses the trio's widest range of styles to date, from R&B slow jams and kisses of UK garage, to newly visceral takes on the sunny pop-rock that made them a quintessential "mindie" band of the 2010s. Though they've always pulled from the music they love, the Haim sisters have never sounded more like themselves on Women in Music Pt. III. From En Vogue to Joni Mitchell, Sheryl Crow to Lou Reed, here's our playlist highlighting some of the raw essentials behind Haim's best album to date.

Four wins on the trot for WP in Three-Day Cup
The Musketeer spirit – all for one and one for all – a renewed vigour with the bat and the emergence of a match-winning bowler like Junaid Dawood contributed richly to Western Province's fourth consecutive win in the Sunfoil Three-Day Cup.
Province recently produced a four-wicket win against Gauteng after beating the defending champions, Northerns in their previous clash.
Qaasim Adams, captain of Western Province in a couple of games, said the team's batting let them down at the start of the campaign. There were no half-centuries in the first game against Border. Against Eastern Province, the team looked as if they were cruising but then collapsed. Adams pointed to the fact that the team had only produced one five-wicket haul (Jason Smith's 5-77 against Eastern Province) and one century (Zubayr Hamza) and that the cohesive effort of the eleven team members propelled them to victory. It was a true team effort.
The captain was a bit frustrated with his own form and said he had scored a number of half-centuries and two 90's, without capitalizing on that and smashing a few tons.
Salieg Nackerdien, the head coach, was full of praise for the way that Western Province rallied and how they read the result wickets at WPCC.
The way in which they adapted at the ground, contributed to their two wins there.
"We were more focused on batting for long periods and setting up big partnerships in the last half of the season. In almost every game there was a partnership of 120 or more in the past four games. We also won the vital and critical moments in the matches," Nackerdien said.
Junaid Dawood, leg-spinner of Western Province who nipped out 4-33 in 21 overs, was the destroyer-in-chief against Gauteng. "He took a wicket with his first delivery. Then Gauteng had a big partnership, but he returned and captured two wickets off successive deliveries to help set up the win," said Adams.
Both Nackerdien and Adams said he only lacked consistency, but his stint at the national academy would aid his evolution as a wrist spinner.
Nackerdien also praised the role of Justin Dill, who played the holding role and has bowled splendidly during his two appearances while producing a few defiant knocks.
KwaZulu-Natal are the frontrunners with 154.42 points, which means Western Province, on 126.14, will require a few favours from KwaZulu-Natal's next opponents if they are to qualify for the final.

Ratner unveils plans for Nassau Coliseum
Aug.August 17, 2013 04:00 PM
After winning the bid to revamp and manage the Nassau Coliseum, developer Bruce Ratner unveiled his redevelopment plans for the arena in a news conference on Thursday, according to Newsday.
After a long and fierce bidding war between Ratner and the Madison Square Garden Company, Ratner was ultimately chosen as the Coliseum's developer. Upon being selected, he revealed his plans for a scaled-down, 13,000-seat arena.
Ratner announced that New York Islanders American Hockey League minor league affiliate the Bridgeport Sound Tigers would relocate to the Uniondale arena after the building is renovated. However, the Sound Tigers have a contract to play in Bridgeport, Conn. for the next eight years.
Ratner also said that it was "highly unlikely" that the Islanders, which are scheduled to move to Ratner's Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2015, would move from the Coliseum early. Ratner's plan calls for the Islanders to return to play at the Coliseum for four home games and two preseason games.
Ratner also plans to have professional lacrosse, boxing and Arena Football League games at the arena. Ratner also is negotiating with the Atlantic 10, Big 10 and Pac 10 college basketball divisions to hold tournaments at the new Coliseum. [Newsday] – James Comtois

Legislative News and Views - Rep. Melissa Hortman (DFL)
REP. HORTMAN ANNOUNCES VISIONARY PLAN TO BRING 2020 SUMMER OLYMPICS TO MINNESOTA
St. Paul, MN – State Representative Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn Park/Coon Rapids) outlined a visionary plan today for bringing the 2020 Summer Olympics to the Twin Cities. Representative Steve Simon (DFL-St. Louis Park), members of the Twin Cities business community, representatives from state sports franchises, local musician Lorie Line, statewide elected officials and former Olympiad Manny Lagos joined her at the Capitol in support of this initiative. Last week, Hortman and 19 House co-authors introduced legislation for the creation of a Task Force to determine whether Minnesota would benefit economically from making a bid and hosting the 2020 Summer Olympics. "In 1988, Mayors Don Fraser and George Latimer partnered with Governor Perpich to put together a great bid for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, coming in second to Atlanta," said Hortman. "We would like to build on their vision for the future of our state and bring the summer games here in 2020." "The Olympics would give us a chance to let the rest of the world discover Minnesota - the best kept secret in America," added Simon. Hortman said that a primary benefit of an Olympic bid would be the creation of jobs in the state, as well as providing a deadline for much needed transportation projects in the metro area, such as the Central Corridor, Red Rock Line and Rush Line. There would also be the added benefit of increased federal aid for capital projects such as roads and transit, similar to what other host cities in the United State have received, according to Hortman. "This is a wonderful opportunity to create jobs, finish projects and let our state shine in the global arena," said Hortman. "We are proud of our state and want the rest of the world to see the high quality of life and recreation that we have to offer." Hortman said that the decision on where to host the 2020 Olympics could be made as early as 2008, making it necessary for the task force to be formed quickly so they can begin planning. She is recommending a 17-person task force, with the Governor naming 13 of the members and the State Legislature appointing the other four members. "In a global economy, landing the Olympic games would be the ultimate marketing coup," said Simon. "The Olympics would anoint Minnesota as world class."

Glue Moon is a three piece electronic/indie outfit from Liverpool (UK) consisting of Will Hall, Paul Brown and Owen Lennon.
According to Clash Magazine :
Glue Moon are relative newcomers, having spent the past 18 months gigging and rehearsing. Using the process as a means to refine their ideas, the band have continually sought to expand, to introduce new elements.
Recording material for a new EP, Clash is able to premiere unheard cut 'Stockholm Zone'. It's a curious beast, one which echoes Radiohead in its use of emotive indie-based songcraft and flecks of electronics.
Yet there are also shades of 65daysofstatic in here, with Glue Moon impacting a visceral touch, an ability to fuse quiet with loud into the song structure. At times oddly psychedelic, the lingering guitar lines betray the influence of Robert Fripp – in particular his collaborations with Brian Eno.
But this isn't to suggest that Glue Moon are dwarfed by their influences. Rather, the Liverpool band use these reference points to build their own voice, one which is rapidly becoming more distinct, more engrossing and more potent.

In anticipation of releasing their new single, 'When Did Your Last Rose Die?', Hartheim have delivered a sombre portrayal of Billie Holiday's 'Strange Fruit'.
The poem was originally written as a protest song by Abel Meeropol in 1937, derived from the macabre period in which the everyday lynching of African Americans was a familiar sight. Premiered last night on Mary Anne Hobb's BBC 6Music show, Hartheim's 'Strange Fruit' is a genuine homage to the original.
Front man Mike Emerson summed up the reasoning behind such a sensitive cover; "It's the most important song ever written in my eyes. The startlingly depressing thing is that now, almost 80 years after it was first published, the message remains just as poignant. With everything that happened in Ferguson last year, and no doubt is happening all over the world every day, it felt like the only thing to do… and there's no better way to express it than what's already there in the lyrics. It's brutal, and unsettling, and most heartbreakingly – still completely relevant."
Continuing the muted atmosphere of the instrumentation, a no-frills video was created alongside 200-year inhabitants of the functioning crypt below St.Philips Church in Salford. Introduced by prose from Roy Fischer prize winning poet Lauren Bolger, there were few locations that could better induce the frame of mind needed to connect to such melancholy.
The band release their new single, 'When Did Your Last Rose Die?' on JackToPhono Records on 9th March.

If you should hear in the streets of our village, what Summerhill owes to the bank, it's not that our financial custodians have been indiscreet. It's part of our deal with our people.
There were times in our thirty years that those numbers would have frightened the life out of some folk. But it was part of the faith we have with our bankers. They backed us every inch of the way.
Building an enterprise of Summerhill's ilk, is a daunting prospect. Especially if you kick off at ground zero. It takes time, and it guzzles capital.
So write this down. May 2nd, 2009. A halcyon moment in our history. For the first time in three decades, we had cash in the bank.
A signal, if ever there was one, that we'd cut the mustard. Fundamental to all of this, was a single standout feature. We backed the Summerhill stallions.Every inch of the way. In all our time, we never wavered, all the while knowing they'd deliver the bacon. At the right time, at the right price.
Yet, in preparing ourselves for the battles of the turf, it's not about paying less. It never has been. Value is about getting more for your money, which is what the Summerhill Sires have always been about. And remember this, we pay what you pay, and we only win if you win.
In the end though, it all boils down to this. If you're not using a Summerhill stallion, ask yourself or your advisors why not?
After all, in this game, you don't win silver. You only lose gold.

Legislation: Child Sex Trafficking
Governor has Opportunity to Make it Clear: There's #NoSuchThing as a Child Prostitute | CWDA Blog - Our Take | September 2, 2016
A 14-year-old girl is raped. Repeatedly. Law enforcement arrives on the scene. Officers determine there is reasonable cause the crime of rape occurred. This child has been raped and sexually abused by multiple people in just 24 hours. They then arrest … the child. Wait. What? Confused? This child is a victim of sex trafficking. She's been found with a purchaser who paid a trafficker money to have sex with her. She's been under the control of the trafficker for months. The shocking situation described here is real, and it happens because law enforcement in many California jurisdictions falsely believe they must arrest the child victim for prostitution. Instead of immediately being referred to child welfare services and community agencies who specialize in services for child abuse victims, child sex trafficking victims like this girl frequently are arrested and taken to jail for prostitution.
Family First Act
Congress Should Not Kill Lifesaving Options for Foster Youth | The Chronicle of Social Change | August 31, 2016
Jamal* is a teenager in foster care whom I met through an organization pairing Washington D.C. foster youth with volunteer mentors. He is a spirited young man who bounced through five foster homes in less than a year due to his defiant behavior. When I met him, Jamal had ended up at a Boys Town family-style group home and was finally happy, stable and doing well. If the supporters of the Family First Prevention Services Act have their way, the option of a supportive group home will no longer be available to most young people in foster care who cannot thrive in a family setting…The bill's sponsors and supporters often cite a belief that most children do best in family settings. Yet, this is not always the case. Jamal is not the only young person who needed a group home to find the support and nurturing he needed.
Sacramento County foster care agencies band together to help LGBT youths find homes | Sacramento Bee | August 28, 2016
Scott Dukes, a gay single man from Sacramento looking to adopt, got a call one day from his foster care agency. They had one question for him: If your teenage son came down the stairs of a mall in 6-inch stiletto heels, what would you do? The answer he was trained to give, he said, was to bring a pair of flat shoes along in his bag, in case his son's feet hurt. The real answer? "If you're going to wear those shoes, you're going to wear them like a man," Dukes, 40, told the case manager. "And you're not going to whine and act crazy, because I'm not dealing with it." His answer, the agency told him, was odd, but perfect. Sierra Forever Families introduced Dukes to his now-17-year-old transgender daughter, Erica Reyes, shortly after that 2012 phone call. The nonprofit adoption agency has been one key player in a citywide effort to create more of these success stories and place lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youths in affirming homes. Sacramento County Child Protective Services and other local foster youth and adoption agencies formed a collaborative last year to increase recruitment of parents who are open to housing LGBT youth.
LA sheriff: Don't arrest homeless, get them into services | KPCC | August 30, 2016
L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell unveiled a new policy Tuesday (August 30) evening, instructing deputies to avoid arresting the homeless and try to get them into services instead. The policy change comes at the behest of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. Earlier this year, the board approved a 47-point plan to address homelessness in the county. In it is a recommendation that the sheriff's department develop a comprehensive decriminalization policy for law enforcement to adhere to when interacting with the region's homeless population. The board passed its package of reforms in February. Sheriff's officials said McDonnell hopes to start training deputies in the new policy this fall and put it into effect January 1, 2017. "Critics of law enforcement allege that society's solution is to arrest our way out of this social problem," McDonnell said Tuesday. "But our department is taking a firm stand that being homeless is not a crime."
Even rivals say Mark Leno is one of Sacramento's most accomplished lawmakers. Now, his time is up. | Los Angeles Times | August 29, 2016
Mark Leno flashes a broad smile when a conversation about his political legacy pivots to an earlier part of his life, when he was a restless young man who abruptly decided to walk away from rabbinical school without any plan for what would come next. "My friend gave me a T-shirt that year for Hanukkah that said, 'Rebbe Without A Cause,'" Leno said with a laugh. To know him is to get the joke: This is a man full of causes, ones for which the Democrat has patiently and passionately advocated during a 14-year career in the California Legislature that's now coming to a close.
