Last time I went over a 9,000 foot mountain to reach the city of Tula de Allende. Now it's time to rest and explore the city—and its ancient pyramids.

Tula still felt "different" from other cities in Mexico. I couldn't put my finger on it. There was one of the nicest centros of any city I'd been to, with the main square surrounded entirely by walking malls. But that wasn't it.
I pondered as I wandered around looking for a lunch spot. The city reminded me a lot of Thailand. But why? What gave me the same vibe in both places?
At the end of one walking mall was a torta shop (sandwich shop) that I knew I had to go into. It was on the second floor, with a tiny street level door and no advertising, yet the balcony had plenty of customers. Local secret? I squeezed in under their only sign: "Suba Ud." Come upstairs, please.
Their Cuban sandwich didn't disappoint, except that it was twice the size of my head and way too much to eat alone. The view from the balcony, once I managed to snag a table there, wasn't bad either. And it was there that I realized what made Tula so different from other Mexican towns.
I mean, not new new. It definitely had its share of run-down buildings. But none looked older than the 1960s, and many more recent than that. Concrete and steel buildings rose from wide, well paved streets with real sidewalks. They weren't skyscrapers, and rarely even high rises, but they were markedly different from the colonial or plaster structures dominating most Mexico downtowns.

Despite its size and modernity there was relatively little to do. I found two cafes worth visiting, one of without wifi and the other rarely open. Oddly, I could never pick up a Telcel signal in the centro proper, as if the whole area was jammed by the Soviets. As a result I had to work mainly at the hotel or, one afternoon, at a second story bar with dubstep music and its own wifi. In the evenings only a few sit-down restaurants were open. Maybe it was just the adjustment from San Miguel, where there was so much to do and I had friends to talk to, but I found myself feeling lonely and uncomfortable.
I went back to the Brazilian restaurant twice during my stay. Once to try out their breakfast menu, which was good, and once to experience the famed grilled meat parade. Ezra was excited for me to try it, and served me personally. He brought over sword after sword of flame-touched meats: salted beef, tender filet, succulent pork loin, chistorra, and a dozen others each more delicious than the last. Each of these is fire-roasted on the sword just seconds before serving and sliced paper-thin onto your plate. In between rounds he brought over skewers of roasted pineapple.

I've only experienced this kind of Brazilian grill once before, and I have to say Ezra's was better. Maybe it was just that I knew how to pace myself better, or maybe it was that he didn't try to fill me up on starters first. But at the end of the meal, instead of slow and heavy, I felt satisfied and mildly euphoric. Thanks, Ezra.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Hotel Cuellar, Roberto, also made my stay more memorable. He was really interested in my bike ride, even more so after I told him I'm a writer. I've become well versed at explaining in Spanish what Lúnasa Days is about, but I always apologize because it's only available in English (yet). That didn't phase him. His English is about as good as my Spanish, and he asked if I would autograph a copy if he ordered it. I agreed, although we both knew it wouldn't arrive in time for me to do so.
My second evening there he told me that I was getting free breakfast the next day. I was a bit wowed and thanked him warmly. After the exchange, though, I wondered if I'd understood correctly. Maybe I was getting too cocky in my Spanish skills? But sure enough, the next morning at the hotel cafe the doña who runs the kitchen came out and showed me the menu for their "desayuno ejecutivo" (executive breakfast) and told me there'd be no charge.
The third day was pyramid day. It's funny… I've gone to such great lengths to see all these ancient sites. Yet on that day all I really wanted to do was hang out in the hotel room and read. Just get some R&R. I would've been perfectly to miss out on one of the most stunning archaeological sites in the Americas, the former capital of the Toltec empire.
But what kind of Adventure would that be? I set down the book and hopped on the Giant. You can take a city bus to the pyramids, but I liked the idea of cycling across town. The Tula Archaeological Site is located just a few kilometers from the current city center, surrounded by neighborhoods on two sides. After confirming directions I set off.
The route crossed the river and immediately went up a giant hill, the opposite side of the gorge I'd descended a few days before. Barely able to breathe at the top, I made a mental note not to try pedaling up it when the Giant was fully loaded with gear.
After that the ride was easy. 10 minutes later I coasted into the Tula National Park, home of the Archaeological Site. It had a landscaped entry and vast parking areas, all almost empty. Maybe it was because it was a Monday, but Mexico's archaeological museums always seem drastically under-attended to me.
As I wondered where to chain up the bike, a security guard suggested I walk it right up to the front door of the museum and lock it to a tree. That done, I paid my entrance and spotted a sign near the entrance. It kindly informed me that I could report any complaints "or insults" by phone, mail, email or in person. I wondered how many insults I should expect.

The Tula archaeological site consists of three main areas: first the indoor museum, with replicas of many of the artifacts and the usual informational panels. Then a long outdoor walk from the museum to the pyramids themselves. (I suppose they couldn't break ground for the museum building too close to the archaeological site). Finally, the remains of ancient Tula's downtown, which have been painstakingly unearthed by archaeologists.
I wasn't too interested in the museum, not because I dislike them (I love them) but because I was eager to see the real deal. But I'm glad I walked through. I got a lot of interesting background information on the culture and the art that I'd see. And the three dimensional model of the site would help me orient myself once I got out there.
The walk out was surreal. Sometime I think Mexican museums have self esteem issues. I'm not sure they believe people will really come just to see pyramids and amazing artifacts. There's always some kind of side attraction, a sort of "AND you get to see…" to sweeten the deal. In Tula's case it's this desert version of a hedge maze. White rocks and cacti sprawl along winding, tangled pathways. I stuck to the outside, skirting past the labyrinth and heading for the Toltec ruins.
Part of the labyrinth side show. Not quite David Bowie material.
I wasn't there yet, though. The path is a zig-zag, making right angle turns that nearly double your walking time. This has two effects: you can't directly see the pyramids until you turn the final corner (kind of cool), and you're forced to walk through repeated encampments of vendors hawking their wares (moan). I assured row after row of peddlers that I needed neither a jaguar statue, nor a traditional flute, nor even a handmade rosary. Ironically, if any of them had just offered me a bottle of ice cold water I would've thrown pesos at them.
Finally I reached the pyramids themselves. My first view was from the end of the trail, with the main pyramid framed perfectly by a lone shade tree and a little bench at the trail head (image at top). Fluffy clouds filtered the desert sun and the whole place looked serene and magical. I was happy I'd come.
To one side was the remains of the ball court. I think we all know about the Mesoamerican soccer-like game where the losing team was sacrificed, so I won't go into that. What struck me was how profoundly practical the structure was. It wasn't that different from a stadium today, and was optimized for handling a giant amount of people. I could picture a family tripping up the stairs with kids in tow, trying to pull the niños away from vendors at the entrance (probably selling jaguar statues). The fact that lives hung in the balance was as prosaic as an NFL player pulling a hamstring.
Next I went to the main pyramid, dedicated to Quetzalcoatl. The trail approached from the rear. On the far side was the central plaza of ancient Tula, surrounded by the remains of dozens of public buildings. There was nothing I wanted to do more than run up to the top of that pyramid, but I took my time, wandering around the back first and looking at the carvings in the reconstructed perimeter wall. I was glad I did—these are things I wouldn't have taken the time for after I'd already been to the top, and they were stunning.
Finally I made my way around front. Hundreds of white columns rose from the ruins of an old palace to my right, but I focused on the pyramid. A few other groups of visitors milled about, some on top, some around the bottom and one pair coming down. I sized up the steps and began the ascent.

I remember that when I climbed the steps of Chichén Itzá I was terribly winded. But I was in worse shape back then, and I took this pyramid with ease. Even so, coming up eye level with the top was a powerful experience, one that made you feel as if suddenly you couldn't go on.
I found myself looking up at the Atlantes, the 12-foot tall stone warriors that hold watch over the temple's top. I placed my hand over my heard in a discreet salute and stepped up.
It's hard to write about standing atop the pyramid. It's like this is where I'm supposed to say something deep, because I'm looking for the gods, right? But I feel like I said everything I had to say in the video log I sent my supporters. The truth is I felt conflicted. It's this spiritual place, but it's also a museum. I was surrounded by other tourists each having their own experiences. The top of the pyramid seemed to be a concrete slab, which made me wonder how it had been reconstructed and whether the Atlantes were even in the right places. I think the most profound spiritual experiences happen in places of solitude; and this temple is now a place of learning and selfies, not so much a place of prayer.
But there was an undeniable majesty looking out over the old city forum, vaster than some towns itself and now completely empty; the palaces and temples and the other pyramid, in worse condition, not far off from this one. All of it haunted by the specter of the sacrifices that once took place there. How can you look down from that spot, picture the city as it once was, and not imagine the knife coming down?
The other pyramid. Photo by André.
As I stood contemplating this a young Colombian couple asked if I'd take their picture. We conversed in Spanish (I'm on a roll!) but they seemed eager to be off. I watched them make their descent on the giant stone steps.
The sound of a flute drifted over the site, played by an enterprising vendor who'd eschewed the merch stalls to wander with his wares. It was right to hear that plaintive trill over this empty place. And it was time to make my offering.
I accepted that other tourists would watch me do this, including a group led by someone with the air of an anthropologist. But they kept a respectful distance, and the incense lit easily. I tucked it into a crack at the top of the steps, in view of the Atlantes.
This incense comes not from me, but from my friend Sky and from Guadalupe, whom you know by another name. Today is her holy day, and she sent this for you. I hope the scent will please you.
The smoke curled up to the sky and the flute broke the silence. Does Quetzalcoatl miss the taste of human sacrifice? Or was it something he never wanted in the first place?
I descended. On the way out I took off-road footpaths used by the vendors (they sure weren't walking at right angles after a long shift). This saved time and evaded most of the sales pitches. After the final jaunt across the labyrinth it was back to the museum, the Giant, and the road home.
When I got there the hotel owner had another present for me. "Are you staying another day tomorrow?" he asked.
That took me back. This time I confirmed that I'd understood correctly. It seemed like too much: a free breakfast is one thing, but comping me $500 pesos (really $600) is big. I wondered what the catch could be. But in a situation like this, all I have to go on is my sense of people, and my sense of Roberto is that he's a friendly, kind person. I felt humbled by the offer and gratefully accepted.

That extra day allowed me to work ahead on client projects and explore the town some more. Discoveries included rope bridges crossing the river in the center of town (not decorative or for play—these were functional rope bridges used as pedestrian thoroughfares). They anchored to a cute neighborhood on one side and a sort of mini park on the other, and helped connect the two halves of town. Unfortunately, the river smelled like an open sewer and I didn't spend much time in the park.
Tula marked a turning point in my Adventure. It was the first time ever that I've had good enough Spanish to make friends and be social without the "in" of a local acquaintance or a language school. Even though I'd felt lonely and isolated when I showed up, I managed to experience moments of warmth with people I'd never met before and will likely never see again. For that, I'm grateful.
Cool old car in Tula that made me think of my Dad.
Next time, I leave Tula and get back on the highway—but I have to crash a gate to do it. Until then, check out my other road logs.
How the city seems to ruin everything in comparison, though some gods are in it too, which, I suppose, makes it worth while. I'm thinking of the fleeing or flying options here. It's good you decided to flee the hotel to fly.
Have been turning this one around in my head for a while, Camelia. All I can say is it put a smile on my face. I agree there are gods in the city.

You Call This Democracy?: How to Fix Our Government and Deliver Power to the People (Paperback)
By Elizabeth Rusch
A 2021 YALSA EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION FINALIST
America is the greatest democracy in the world . . . isn't it? Author Elizabeth Rusch examines some of the more problematic aspects of our government but, more importantly, offers ways for young people to fix them.
The political landscape has never been so tumultuous: issues with the electoral college, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and a lack of representation in the polls and in our leadership have led to Americans of all ages asking, How did we get here?
The power to change lies with the citizens of this great country—especially teens! Rather than pointing fingers at people and political parties, You Call This Democracy? looks at flaws in the system—and offers a real way out of the mess we are in. Each chapter breaks down a different problem plaguing American democracy, exploring how it's undemocratic, offering possible solutions (with examples of real-life teens who have already started working toward them), and suggesting ways to effect change—starting NOW!
The award-winning freelance writer Elizabeth Rusch is the author of a number of award-winning nonfiction titles for children, including: Generation Fix, Will it Blow?,The Planet Hunter, and For the Love of Music: The Remarkable Story of Maria Anna Mozart. Her previous Scientists in the Field titles include Eruption!, The Mighty Mars Rovers and The Next Wave. Elizabeth lives in Portland, Oregon, with her family.

"You Call This Democracy gives us a clear look at the problems we face in our politics today, from voter suppression to gerrymandering to sorting through the noise of partisanship. Most importantly, it provides a road map for how we can come together and use our power as citizens to fix them. As we enter into an election year where nothing less than the fate of our republic is at stake, this book is an important read for anyone interested in our politics."—Hillary Rodham Clinton "Fascinating....Like many well-executed books written for smart teenagers, YOU CALL THIS DEMOCRACY? is enlightening for adults as well."—The New York Times Book Review ★ "Rusch unites a passion for democracy with a belief in the power of young people to help restore it. A riveting must-read."—Kirkus, STARRED review "[A]n elucidating call to action, one chock full of engaging explanations, examples, charts, graphs, quotes, and names of activist groups focused on revising politically charged plots to undermine democratic processes."—Booklist "[A] sprawling, information-rich exploration of the current state of American democracy."—School Library Journal

Nokia and Europolitan Vodafone have signed an agreement regarding the delivery of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks for Europolitan Vodafone. Nokia will be the systems supplier for both the core network and radio access, and will also deliver implementation and technical maintenance services.
Deliveries will start in August 2001, and the launch of the network is scheduled for 2002. The agreement covers equipment for the infrastructure that Europolitan Vodafone is constructing in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malm and Karlskrona (providing at least 30 per cent of the population coverage for Sweden). The agreement does not cover the remaining infrastructure that Europolitan Vodafone and Hi3G are jointly constructing via the company they co-own, 3G Infrastructure Services AB.
"Our choice of Nokia will give our customers access to all of Europolitan Vodafone's services regardless of which network they use (GSM, GPRS or UMTS), since Nokia previously supplied these as well. Cost-efficiency and quality have also been crucial to our choice," says Jon Risfelt, CEO at Europolitan Vodafone.
Nokia supplied Europolitan Vodafone's first GSM system in 1991 and subsequently also delivered WAP and GPRS services before being selected as the company's 3G supplier. The GSM/UMTS system that is being developed by Nokia and Europolitan Vodafone will gradually progress to become a fully IP based system using UMTS and GPRS elements.
"This agreement is yet another milestone in the relationship that our two companies have enjoyed over the last 10 years," says Simon Beresford-Wylie, Vice President of Nokia Networks' Vodafone customer team. "We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to be part of Europolitan's success in meeting its customers' requirements in one of the world's most advanced telecoms markets. We are naturally also thrilled to be able to pursue our close working relationship now that Europolitan Vodafone is preparing its entry into the 3G era."
The agreement also serves to confirm Nokia's leading role in the global rollout of UMTS systems. Nokia has been selected as a 3G partner by 25 operators in Asia, the US and Europe. Nokia's UMTS solution is based on standard platforms and open interfaces, which are crucial to the rapid deployment of 3G services. The UMTS solution symbolises the future for mobile communication, and IP (Internet Protocol) based technologies form the core of the mobile network. UMTS will facilitate the introduction of wireless access to multimedia services and will provide a powerful boost to network capacity for both voice services and combined voice and multimedia services.
Europolitan Vodafone is a mobile operator with a license to build 3G mobile telecoms networks. Our strength lies in our focus on developing international services, service and quality. Europolitan Vodafone employs some 1,400 people and is listed on the Attract 40 list of the OM Stockholm Stock Exchange through Europolitan Holdings AB. The company's majority owner is Vodafone of the UK, with 71 per cent of Europolitan Holdings. The remaining 29 per cent is owned by private shareholders, investment companies and pension funds. The Vodafone Group is represented on 5 continents and has around 80 million customers (proportional number of customers calculated on the basis of ownership).

        to dereference arbitrary memory which easily leverages to arbitrary code execution. In order
        to bypass DEP/ASLR a second vulnerability is used, in the public WriteableBitmap class
        from System.Windows.dll. This module has been tested successfully on IE6 - IE10, Windows XP

Plaxtol Primary School offers a full programme of curriculum enhancement activities, before school, at lunchtime and after school. There is a variety on offer for the children to enjoy. As well as being fun, these clubs will also give the children the opportunity to develop or further enhance their learning through a range of skills.
Clubs are run by staff, parents and out of school organisations and children sign up for two terms at a time in most cases. Option forms are sent out at the start of terms 1, 3 and 5. If numbers go over the limit, children will be chosen at random.
If a club has to be cancelled we will let you know by parent mail.
We recommend that our Yr R (Class 1) children start attending clubs from Term 3 after Christmas, allowing them the time to settle into the school routines and the length of the school day during the few two terms so they do not become too tired!
If children are unable to attend a club, please could you make sure that they inform their class teacher at the start of the day. Only members of clubs should be on site while the clubs are running before or after school. If a club has to be cancelled we will let you know by e-mail, or by telephone if at short notice.
Please ensure that your child has everything they need at the beginning of the day and that they are collected on time.
The school is always extremely grateful for any help that is offered that can support the education of our pupils and enrich their learning experience. If you would like to assist the school in any way, please contact your child's teacher or the Headteacher. DBS checks will need to be carried out.
The timetable for Autumn Term 2018/19 is below.
Access our gallery under the Children tab to see the children in action at their school clubs. Photos can also be found under Recent Events.

Q: How to get data or retrieve data from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 through SOAPui I know it may be duplicate question, but in 2015 release I am facing some issue while getting data.
I have read all blogs related to this subject, but could not make it.
I have followed below steps to get data.

*

*Loaded project in SOAPui from http://{server}/{OrgName}/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

*Edited endpoint, Added /web after Organisation.svc

*Added Authentication. (username,password,domain)

*Added content-type, SOAPAction, Accept

Still I am getting Bad-Request error.
please help. If possible please give some Request sample.
Thanks.

A: Here's how to setup requests, make sure you're setup correctly:

*

*Create a SOAP project pointing to http://<organization url>/XrmServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl (you'll have to authenticate)

*Create a new request for w/e you need to do

*In the request, set Authentication to NTLM (provide credentials)

*In the request, you'll need three Headers like this (double-check them if you already have them there):
4.1. SOAPAction - copy/paste it from the request interface properties
4.2 Accept - application/xml, text/xml, */*
4.3 Content-Type - text/xml; charset=utf-8

*Provide a well-formed request and go
For example, this is what a RetrieveEntityRequest looks like (this in particular will return the metadata of the account entity):

If you're seeing significant change in your print environment, adding another print server isn't the answer.
It's true—they do. For a lot of organizations, enterprise print servers represent the first step in the growth of their print environment. A small office of five, ten or even twenty users with minimal printing demands can usually get by with one or two network printers and no dedicated print management solution. But as soon as that office expands in size or to another location, it becomes necessary to start controlling that print traffic. Think of it like going from a 4-way stop to a traffic light.
Where printing is concerned, an enterprise print server functions as that traffic light. A print server takes print jobs from workstations and enters them into a single queue, which frees the workstations from having to allocate any computing power needed to monitor and maintain the queue themselves. In that queue, print jobs can be automatically prioritized according to user and file type. And if a print job gets stuck, the system administrator can simply delete the problematic item from the queue so other users can carry on printing.
Enterprise print servers can also help with printer and driver deployment. Instead of installing a driver on every single workstation, admins can install the standard driver for every relevant printer on the print server. Those drivers can then be automatically installed on users' workstations as needed. Print servers can deploy certain printers to specific users based on the predetermined criteria laid out in group policy objects (GPOs) or scripts.
These are all very useful functions. The problem is that enterprise print servers work best the more specialized they are, so each new department or location requires its own dedicated print server and, ideally, a homogenous print environment that consists of one kind of workstation and one kind of printer. As soon as any anomalies enter the mix—even in the form of a single machine—there can be driver conflicts and complicated deployment protocols. Print servers also take a very fragmented, top-down approach to print management, meaning that they function more like a rigid gatekeeper toward end users than an enterprise-wide printing tool to benefit them.
Worse, enterprise print servers create single points of failure. The driver conflict that might emerge because one workstation requires a manufacturer-specific driver and another one uses the universal printer driver can cause print server slowness that affects every end user who relies on it. Conflicts and other issues can even cause print servers to crash outright, bringing printing to a halt for that department or location. The only solution for that is redundancy, which means another print server. At the same time, each new print server comes with costs: the initial outlay for software and hardware, followed by maintenance, upgrade and replacement.

FDA: Overdose Deaths Have Doubled for Insys Therapeutics' Fentanyl
Sarah Parfitt December 30, 2016	Cannabis News
A new report shows that Fentanyl overdose deaths doubled between 2013 and 2014 in the U.S. There were 1,905 Fentanyl overdose deaths in 2013 and 4,200 in 2014. Fentanyl, made by Insys Therapeutics, is the company that donated $500,000 to fight against Arizona's recreational marijuana ballot initiative, and recently had some of their executives arrested by feds for racketeering on allegations of bribery and kickbacks to doctors.
The information was compiled from research conducted at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA, according to The Huffington Post. Codes are used on death certificates to show the cause of death. In terms of drug overdoses, the same code may be used for a group of drugs, such as oxycodone and morphine, which are grouped as opioid analgesics.
This time around, researchers used notes written on death certificates and analyzed the text used as well. Doing so allowed the researchers to determine the specific drug the deceased overdosed on. In 2014, fentanyl showed to be the 5th most common prescription painkiller that caused lethal overdoses.
The researchers went a step further and studied heroin overdose deaths during a 5-year period. The numbers tripled from 3,020 in 2010 to 10,863 heroin overdose deaths in 2014. In 2014, there were a total of 36,667 drug overdose deaths, and in 48% of the cases, more than one drug was found in the deceased.
What's even more alarming is that one-third of cocaine overdose cases also found heroin in the body. Even more alarming is that 95% of overdose deaths involved diazepam (valium) or alprazolam in toxicology reports, both used to treat anxiety.
From 2014 through 2015, a 72% increase in opioid overdose deaths was reported. These numbers include associations of fentanyl, tramadol and other synthetic opioids. In addition, from 2014 through 2015, heroin overdose deaths increased 20%.

company which has been streamlining its business in recent years.
Shares in Dutch baby food and vitamins group Numico rose sharply last week following rumours of a possible bid from French dairy, biscuits and bottled water group Danone.
Numico has been struggling recently, and its shares had plunged as a result of the dismissal of its US chief and its chief financial officer. But the rumours of a bid from Danone, reported in Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, helped the shares rally late on Friday.
Neither Numico nor Danone have commented on the rumours, but a bid from the French group would be an odd choice at a time when the dairy giant has been steadily divesting all its non core businesses to focus on its core Danone dairy, LU biscuit and Evian/Volvic water brands.
While the baby food and clinical nutrition businesses owned by Numico could potentially be of interest to Danone - many dairy groups are active in the baby food sector, such as Campina or Nestlé - the vitamin arm of Numico is less likely to fit with Danone's existing business.
But with Numico in such a weak financial situation at the moment, any bid from Danone seems unlikely, even it could find a buyer for the vitamin unit. Numico has been hit by the weak market for dietary supplements in the US, and in November it said full-year 2002 earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) would be between €420-440 million, down from €667 million in 2001.


The modern day corporation has as one of its primary features the separation of the ownership and management functions. While shareholders may not escape moral responsibility of untoward acts carried on under their direction neither can the management team escape legal culpability for their actions. Jewish law understands that the CEO of a publicly traded corporation has a fiduciary duty to maximize profits for the shareholders. S/he is the agent of the shareholders whose main interest in the owning of stock is making money. Acting beyond this narrow perspective would be a violation of management duties unless explicit shareholder approval would be granted for an expanded social role. Being a good citizen is the responsibility of each and every shareholder but is not the mandate of the corporate entity itself. In many ways Jewish ethics echoes Milton Friedman's famous comment that the business of business is business. While it a wonderful mitzvah to give millions to charity one must do so with one's own money, not with that of the shareholders. Even a majority of shareholders may not be able to force its philanthropic ideals on an unwilling minority as this non business activity violates its raison d'etre and is therefore unacceptable behaviour notwithstanding majority approval. Similarly a CEO would be enjoined from listening to a board directive to pay bills late or pay substandard wages. Such behaviour violates Jewish law and cannot be implemented even if "approved" by the corporate owners.
Under the assumption that small charitable giving is the norm in the corporate sector it would appear that following the industry wide practice would be deemed acceptable. A company may, if it chooses, incorporate itself on the premise that it donates a large portion of its profit to charity provided full disclosure of their wonderful goals is provided.
In today's business environment much corporate "giving" is in reality sophisticated, targeted advertising. It thus falls under management purview and presents no moral issues of acting beyond one's mandate even if the amounts are substantial. Thus a health care company "donating" millions to a hospital or a computer company donating thousands of computers to a local school board should present no moral issue. The PR motive not only does not detract from the mitzvah done, from a corporate perspective it actually legitimatizes it.

Rowayton to Stand at Diamond B Farm in Pennsylvania
Glenn and Becky Brok have announced that Rowayton, a Grade 1-placed son of leading sire Into Mischief has been retired and will enter stud at their Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, PA in 2021.
Rowayton won his first start in a Maiden Special at Del Mar and in his second start ran second to Champion Game Winner in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity. He ran third in the Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes in his third start.
Rowayton is out of the Indian Charlie mare Rosemonde, which is a half sister to Champion Miss Mischief.
Says Brok, "Rowayton displayed his brilliant speed winning at Belmont Park where he was only 2/5 over the track record blazing 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:14 2/5 when he was trained by Don Chatlos. His sire is enjoying incredible success and being from the family of Champion Proud Spell, we feel like he will be a very important addition to the stallion ranks in the Mid-Atlantic region."
Rowayton was campaigned by OXO Equine LLC and was bred in Kentucky by H. Allen Poindexter. He will enter stud for an introductory fee of $5,000. The Brok's will announce a breeding incentive plan for breeders to earn a lifetime breeding right in the near future.

Yale School of MedicineImmunobiology
Macrophages need two signals to begin healing process
Media contact : Bill Hathaway
In the immune system, macrophages act not only as soldiers responding to invading pathogens but also help rebuild the injured tissue once the infection is defeated. A new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers published in the journal Science show how they accomplish this seemingly unrelated task.
The instructions to macrophages to commence rebuilding were long believed to come from immune system factors called cytokines, which are detected early during infection. But, researchers asked, why would cytokines such as IL-4/IL-13 be active in wound healing?
"The body does not want to repair an infected wound, so it does not make sense that the cytokines should be sufficient to instruct tissue healing," said Carla V. Rothlin of Yale's Department of Immunobiology and Pharmacology, co-senior author of the paper along with Sourav Ghosh of the Department of Neurology and Pharmacology.
The researchers report that detection of dead cells along with the cytokines are necessary for macrophages to shift into repair mode. "The macrophages have a coincidence detector that triggers their tissue-repair program," Ghosh added.
Understanding this molecular repair mechanism may lead to better treatments of diseases, Rothlin said. "It's not enough to just put out the fire and reduce inflammation; we also need to be able to induce healing in chronic inflammatory diseases such as colitis."

Exclusive: News Corp. Digital Media Group Contemplates Spinoff and Equity Sale of FAN
April 19, 2010 at 11:03 am PT
While there have been reports that News Corp. is selling off its advertising unit, Fox Audience Network, the company has actually been in talks with a variety of private equity firms about spinning it off and selling only a 20 to 30 percent chunk of it.
Such a deal might not happen, of course, but the strategy behind this approach is related to a desire to create a strong consortium of advertising networks to fight the growing power of Google in the race to match display ad buyers with display ad sellers.
The worry: If Google (GOOG) dominates that business in the same way it dominates search, it's game over.
The strategy is being spearheaded by News Corp. (NWS) digital head Jon Miller, who has played a role in a variety of moves by the media giant to thwart Google in the content space.
Also involved is Adam Bain, who runs FAN and who would be CEO of the potentially independent unit. The well-regarded exec has been of interest to a number of other companies of late, so a new company might also be a way to keep him in place.
Sources said Miller began to get some incoming investor interest in buying FAN, which has morphed into the current talks.
FAN sells ads for MySpace and other News Corp. sites, as well as some third-party partners. It is in the Top 10 of ad networks, with 147.6 million unique monthly visitors.
Under one possible scenario, which values FAN at about $150 million, a private-equity player–such as Silver Lake Partners–would own a piece but also guarantee a certain amount of additional funding to spur growth.
The goal here is to take on Google and its ad-buying power either by rolling up ad networks or exchanges or by "federating" them–pulling them into an alliance.
Critically important to such an ambitious plan by News Corp. is cooperation from at least one of the trio of big of ad networks at Microsoft (MSFT), Yahoo (YHOO) and AOL (AOL).
In addition, other ad networks could be part of the group, such as OpenX, which is strong in Europe. Interestingly, Miller is the chairman of Los Angeles-based OpenX.
There is, of course, a mass of onerous logistical issues with such a scheme, including a variety of technical differences among ad exchanges and the need for cooperation among many different companies.
"We would not want this to be ad confederation light," said a source at one major player in the space. "Because then it's worse than working alone."
In addition, not everyone is worried about Google–despite its acquisition of DoubleClick–taking over the display network space as easily as it took over the search market. Currently, while AOL has the top spot, there is no dominant player akin to Google's overwhelming position in the search market.
News Corp. declined to comment about its plans for FAN.

If you've been in the claims field for any period of time, you've probably heard about bad faith insurance claims. These types of incidents usually stem from an insured misinterpreting an adjuster's actions, but can be caused by other reasons, as well.
Cases of this nature are extremely detrimental to an insurer, both monetarily and to their reputation. For adjusters, being involved in or the cause of one can even cost you your job.
Here are a few tips for keeping a bad faith insurance claim from happening to your company.
What Are Bad Faith Insurance Claims?
In order to understand how to avoid a bad faith insurance claim, it is important to know what one actually entails.
According to the simplest explanation, the process involves a tort claim filed by a policyholder against their own insurance company due to the firm's poor or negligent acts. Typically, lawsuits of this nature run several thousand dollars, but can easily top the million mark.
These allegations can range from something simple to something catastrophic depending on what occurred and how the insured responded to the incident. In most states, only a policyholder can file litigation. However, a few areas also offer third-party individuals the chance to file suit.
In short, bad faith claims are considered very serious and have the potential of being very costly for an insurance company.
If there was a single reason as to why many insurers get hit with a bad faith claim, it would probably be for failing to respond to a policyholder in a timely fashion.
Furthermore, it is crucial to return all phone calls and email correspondence as reasonably possible. Sometimes just the act of making a quick call to let them know that nothing has changed is enough to make the insured feel informed about the process. To ensure you are protected, always keep documentation of contact attempts with details on the time, day, what was said, or if a voicemail was left.
Another way to keep bad faith insurance claims from happening is by investigating each file you handle to the fullest extent possible.
Many bad faith claims have been lost in the past by insurers simply because an adjuster failed to completely investigate a situation before making a decision as to whether to deny the claim or not.
On an auto claim, all witnesses and passengers should always be interviewed if you have contact information and all possible avenues of explanation for the incident should be followed up. For a property claim, this could mean checking weather reports to determine if there was a storm in the area, ordering a police report for a theft, etc.
One way many insurers have gotten burned is by an adjuster trying to bundle various sections of the claim. Essentially, this means only agreeing to settle the part of the claim that is reasonable and straightforward if the entire claim is settled as a whole.
While this can be a little tricky if your departmental guidelines suggest you do otherwise, your best bet for avoiding a bad faith insurance claim is to tread lightly. If it seems like the insured is on board for this fashion of settlement, talk with your supervisor or manager to see whether or not they feel it is appropriate to do so. However, this is one of those situations that has a potential to go wrong quickly, so it is always best to review carefully before negotiating in this manner.
It is also very important that you always look out for the best interest of your insured. After all, they pay premiums each month in exchange for having someone on their side in the event of an incident.
Be careful what you say to vendors, adverse carriers, or anyone else in regards to your policyholder. There are many instances where offhanded remarks by an adjuster have caused problems that ultimately led to a bad faith claim.
In addition to watching who you talk to, it is also important to be tactful during all conversations. Many past cases regarding a bad faith claims resulting from this sort of incident include those where an adjuster was insensitive to a grieving family by using hurtful or hostile language.
While many bad faith cases are simply a misunderstanding between a policyholder and their insurance company, there are many that are appropriate for the circumstance. Help protect your firm by always adhering to the above mentioned tips.
