Your daily dose of news and tidbits from the world of money in politics:
trump.jpegREPUBLICAN DONALD TRUMP’S PAST AND CURRENT GENEROSITY TO DEMOCRATS: Billionaire real estate tycoon Donald Trump’s recent speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference excited a number of Republicans, many of whom applauded his statement that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has “zero chance” of winning.

It also fueled speculation that the mogul would run for president. Cries of “you’re hired!” to a Draft Trump 2012 website added to a growing sense of support among Republicans.
But that GOP support has not always been reciprocated by Trump.
According to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of Trump’s federal campaign contribution history, The Donald has been a prolific donor to both Democrats and Republicans during the past two decades.
In all, Trump has contributed to 96 candidates running for federal political office since the 1990 election cycle, the Center finds. Only 48 of the recipients — exactly half — were Republicans at the time they received their contribution, including ex-Gov. Charlie Crist (I-Fla.) and ex-Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), who both of whom received their Trump contributions as Republicans.
Since the 1990 election cycle, the top 10 recipients of Trump’s political contributions number six Democrats and four Republicans. Embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who was censured last year by his U.S. House colleagues, has received the most Trump money, totaling $24,750. The most recent contribution from Trump to Rangel was a $10,000 gift during the 2006 election cycle.
In the most recent election cycle, Trump doled out $22,500 to political candidates, of which $16,200 benefited Democrats.

The top Republican recipient of Trump’s money is Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who has collected $13,600 from the billionaire magnate, the second most of any politician. Trump did not contribute to McCain during the 2010 election cycle, during which the former presidential candidate was facing re-election.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) is the recipient of $12,000 in Trump contributions, including $10,000 for his 2006 re-election campaign.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has received the fourth-largest amount of Trump’s contributions, including $4,800 in the successful 2010 campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. In total Trump has contributed $10,400 to Reid.
In 2010, Trump also contributed $4,000 to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who easily won re-election. Schumer has received $8,900 from Trump since the 1996 election cycle. Trump has also been generous to New York’s other Democratic U.S. senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, who’s received $5,850 in Trump money.
After McCain, the Republican with the largest amount of Trump’s contributions is former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.), who left office in disgrace in 2006 when his online solicitation of male House pages became known. Trump contributed $9,500 to Foley between the 1996 and 2006 election cycles.
Trump has also supported other notable politicians, including:
• $7,000 to former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), the “liberal lion of the Senate”
• $7,500 to former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R)
• $5,500 to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) including $2,000 during his 2004 presidential run
• $5,000 to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.)
• $4,000 to former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.)
• $2,000 to former President George W. Bush (R)
• $1,000 to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)
Trump’s donations to various political action committees and 527 groups also demonstrate his bipartisan checkbook.
During the most recent election cycle, Trump contributed $170,000 to the Republican Governor’s Association, $50,000 to the ultra-conservative American Crossroads PAC, $30,400 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and $10,000 to the Democratic Party of New York.
However, of the nearly $420,000 Trump has donated to committees, the largest recipient has been the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee with $116,000 — or more than one fourth of his total contributions to all party and political action committees.
CLUB FOR GROWTH’S BUSY DAY: Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) recently proposed curtailing public employee collective bargaining rights to plug holes in the budget. According to Bloomberg, “under Walker’s immediate plan, all collective bargaining rights would be removed for state and local public employees starting July 1, except when it comes to wages.”
Predictably, unions were upset. Many Madison area teachers called in sick, forcing the schools to be shut down on Wednesday. On Tuesday, more than 10,000 people rallied in Madison to oppose Walker’s plan, and protests have continued on into Wednesday. Walker, for his part, responded by announcing that the “National Guard is prepared to respond wherever is necessary in the wake of his announcement.”
Walker, who was elected in November, has enjoyed significant support from Koch Industries, which routinely backs conservative political candidates. The large private oil corporation has contributed $43,000 to the Friends of Scott Walker organization. TDS Telecommunications also contributed over $8,000 to Friends of Scott Walker.
These recent events have drawn other players such as the left-leaning AFL-CIO and the conservative Club for Growth, both of which aired ads either in opposition or in support of Walker’s plan.
The Wisconsin AFL-CIO has been a relatively small contributing force in recent years, doling out $1,000 and $2,000 to exclusively Democratic candidates during the 2008 and 2010 election cycles, respectively.
The Club for Growth has been heavily involved in recent Wisconsin races. The 2010 Senate race that pitted former Sen. Russ Feingold (D) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R) saw more than $210,000 in Club money, most spent in opposition to Feingold. For example, the conservative PAC ran ads against Feingold.
As of late, the Club for Growth has busied itself in other states, as well. The organization raised more than $100,000 in a single day on behalf of Republican Senate candidate and Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Flake, who seeks to succeed the retiring Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) has received Club money in the past, including more than $5,900 and $4000 during the 2008 and 2004 election cycles, respectively.
In the past decade, the Club for Growth has almost exclusively supported Republican candidates for political office, with the notable exception of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) during the 2006 election cycle.
GROUPS CALL FOR FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION REFORM: A group of nine reform-minded organizations called on Congress to conduct hearings on the Federal Election Commission’s “failure to fulfill many of its basic statutory responsibilities to enforce existing campaign finance laws.”

FEC logo.gif

The nine organizations include Americans for Campaign Reform, the Campaign Legal Center, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and Common Cause.
The groups were extremely critical of the FEC, writing in a letter to congressional leaders that “the status quo is unacceptable and the American public reasonably expects agencies charged with enforcing the laws to actually do so.”
Back in 2008, OpenSecrets Blog noted that three new FEC commissioners had political ties, including Cynthia Bauerly, former counsel to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Caroline Hunter, Republican vice chair of the Election Assistance Commission and Donald McGahn, counsel for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Other commissioners have been a part of the Revolving Door. Matthew S. Petersen was a Republican counsel for the Senate Rules and Administration Committee and earlier an attorney in private practice. Ellen Weintraub worked at the lobbying firm Perkins Coie before being appointed to the FEC.

US Department of Labor's OSHA proposes $70,070 fine for PTS Contractors Inc.
for cave-in hazards during trenching operations
Company placed in Severe Violator Enforcement Program

GREEN BAY, Wis. – PTS Contractors Inc., a Green Bay-based excavation contractor, has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for four repeat and two serious safety violations carrying proposed penalties of $70,070. OSHA began its inspection Aug. 28 in response to a complaint alleging cave-in hazards at a job site in Wautoma, where workers were installing storm manholes and connecting utilities in a trench approximately 8 feet deep.

"It's unacceptable that PTS Contractors failed to follow safety standards that protect workers from known excavation hazards, such as a trench collapse," said Robert Bonack, OSHA's area director in Appleton. "These types of hazards result in numerous fatalities and injuries. No job should put workers at risk due to lack of employer-provided training and protection."

Four repeat violations were cited for failing to provide a means of safe access and egress during trenching and excavation work; keep excavated material away from the edge of the trench; not using protective systems, such as harnesses, properly; and have a competent person remove workers from a trench when identifying hazards. A repeat violation exists when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any other facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years. Similar violations were cited in 2009 and 2010.

Additionally, two serious violations were cited for failing to provide a safe and acceptable means to locate underground utilities, which resulted in a gas line being struck and damaged by excavating equipment, and to protect workers from cave-in hazards. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

OSHA standards mandate that all excavations 5 feet or deeper be protected against collapse. Detailed information on trenching and excavation hazards is available at http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/trenchingexcavation/index.html.

As a result of the inspections, OSHA has placed PTS Contractors in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program. The program mandates targeted follow-up inspections to ensure compliance with the law. The program focuses on recalcitrant employers that endanger workers by committing willful, repeat or failure-to-abate violations. OSHA has inspected the company five times since 2009, and 28 times since 1984. Fourteen inspections involved serious, willful and repeat violations of excavation hazards.

PTS Contractors has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Appleton Area Office at 920-734-4521.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Low-Spec Hardware? Try these Desktop Environments

Popular Linux distributions for beginners typically default to one of two desktop environments, KDE or GNOME. Both of these environments provide users with an intuitive and attractive desktop, as well as offering all the applications users love, ranging from multimedia software, games, administration programs, network tools, educational applications, utilities, artwork, web development tools and more. However, these two desktops focus more on providing users with a modern computing environment with all the bells and whistles, rather than minimising the amount of system resources they use.

For users and developers who wish to run an attractive Linux desktop on older hardware, netbooks, or mobile internet devices, neither KDE or GNOME may be a viable option, as they run too slowly on low spec machines. Fortunately, Linux offers users plenty of choice, and we do love change.

I have selected my pick of desktop environments that are excellent candidates for older hardware. They typically run well on low-spec machines, even a system with a Pentium II 266MHz CPU, a processor that is now 16 years old. All of the desktops are released under freely distributable licenses. If your Linux box feels sluggish in general use, try one of the desktops featured below. It may just save you from discarding a perfectly good machine.

LXDE in action

LXDE (an acronym for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) is an open source project with an objective of providing a desktop environment which is lightweight, fast, and easy to use. It is not designed to be powerful and bloated, but to be usable and slim, and minimise the burden on system resources. Different from the majority of desktop environments, it offers desktop independence; it does not tightly integrate every component so that they can be used with different systems.

This means that users do not need to install the whole desktop, but they can select the parts that they like for their own customized desktop.

LXDE is designed to work well with computers on the low end of the performance spectrum such as netbooks and other small computers. LXDE is energy efficient and fast compared to other desktops, particularly on hardware with low specifications including Pentium IIs. LXDE is the default desktop environment of Knoppix, Lubuntu and Raspbian, among others. After X11 and LXDE are started, the total memory usage is a mere 45MB.

Highlights of LXDE include a fast file manager and image viewer (PCManFM and GPicView respectively), a feature-rich panel (LXPanel), session manager, and one of my old favorite window managers which has been adapted (Openbox).

Features include:

  • Lightweight, runs with reasonable memory usage
  • Good-looking, GTK+ 2 internationalized, and customizable user interface
  • Easy-to-use, the user interface is simple, but usable enough
  • Desktop independent (every component can be used without LXDE)
  • Standard compliant, follows the specs on freedesktop.org
  • Suitable for old machines
  • Website: lxde.org
  • Developer: The LXDE Team
  • License: GNU GPL, GNU LGPL
  • Version Number: 0.99.0

XFCE in action

Xfce is an open source desktop environment which also aims to be fast and lightweight, yet at the same time being attractive and easy to use. Its configuration is entirely mouse-driven and the configuration files are hidden from the desktop user. It is based on the GTK+ 2 toolkit (like GNOME).

Xfce is mainly used for its ability to run a modern desktop environment on relatively modest hardware.

The Xfce project contains several separated projects for each part of the desktop. The core components include a window manager, session manager, panel, printing helper, desktop manager, and a settings manager.

Included in the Xfce project are also various desktop applications such as a text editor (called Mousepad), a terminal emulator, a modern file manager (called Thunar), a frontend CD/DVD burning application (Xfburn), a simple calendar application, a media player based on the xine engine, an image viewer (called Ristretto), an archive manager (Xarchiver), and more. Similar to LXDE, the various components are packaged separately and you can pick among the available packages to create the best personal working environment.

Features include:

  • Lightweight desktop environment
  • Basic and lightweight applications
    • xfwm4 integrates its own compositing manager which takes advantage of X.org’s server extensions. xfwm4 adheres strongly to the standards defined on freedesktop.org. xfwm4 offers multihead support, for both xinerama and real multiscreen modes, useful when you have more than one monitor connected to your computer
    • Xfce panel is part of the Xfce Desktop Environment and features program launchers, panel menus, a clock, a desktop switcher and more
    • Orage – a calendar that integrates well into the Xfce desktop which sports alarms and uses the iCalendar format
    • Thunar – a file manager designed for speed and a low memory footprint, which resembles Nautilus. It is fast and responsive with a good start up time and folder load time. It has advanced features such as a bulk file renaming capability
    • Text editor
    • Settings manager to customize your desktop environment
    • Session manager – save the current session, autostart applications, shutdown, reboot, suspend or hibernate your computer
  • Kiosk mode to restrict the configuration
  • Configuration is entirely mouse-driven
  • Translated in more than 40 languages
  • Freedesktop specifications compliance
    • Extended Window Manager hints
    • Desktop Menus
    • Icon themes
    • XDG Base directory
    • XSETTINGS protocol
    • Drag-and-Drop protocol
  • Website: www.xfce.org
  • Developer: Olivier Fourdan (Project Leader), and many other core developers
  • License: GNU GPL and LGPL
  • Version Number: 4.12

LXQt in action

LXQt is billed as an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects. The idea of pooling resources between the two projects is to give users an impressive experience, yet retaining a lot of the development effort of the two projects.

LXQt offers users a fast and stable desktop environment. It is getting close to be ready for use in production desktop machines, though there’s still some work to do. Whilst this desktop environment is not yet available to install from the Ubuntu Software Center, it can be easily installed by typing the following commands in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gilir/q-project
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lxqt-metapackage lxqt-panel openbox

Whilst LXQt is not quite as memory efficient as LXDE or Xfce, the difference is not significant.

Features include:

  • Modular architecture, allowing users and maintainers to easily swap out components of the desktop for third party apps
  • PCManFM-Qt, the Qt port of LXDE’s desktop and file manager
  • Efficient program launcher
  • Good power management tools
  • Ongoing support for the Wayland display protocol
  • Experimental Raspberry Pi support
  • Additional packages including the LXQt image viewer, a lightweight Qt terminal emulator, Qt port of ObConf, compatible Qt theme
  • Full Qt5 support
  • Translated into many languages including Russian, Danish, Greek, Basque, Chinese, Romanian, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Ukrainian, and Esperanto
  • Website: lxqt.org
  • Developer: LXQt Team and contributors
  • License: GNU GPL 2.0+ and GNU LGPL 2.1+
  • Version Number: 0.9.0

No Desktop Environment

No Desktop Environment

The ultimate way to run a lightweight desktop is not to use a desktop environment at all. That way you can keep processor and memory usage as low as possible. Now, I’m not advocating users run Linux without a graphical environment at all. I do love console based software, and it’s perfectly possible to surf the web, use email, play music, and view PDFs from a console. But there are some types of software that really necessitate, or benefit greatly from, a graphical user interface.

The solution could simply be to run X with only a window manager. It’s simple to configure a Linux distribution to start without a desktop environment.

    Had trouble with the crown protector getting it off and on the chain seemed to be a real cheap kind of deal. The big PROBLEM I had was the stem pulled out all the way , it was totally unusable,checked with Invicta was told I would have to ship it to them at the warehouse in Ft. Lauderdale at my cost, then also sent ****** dollars more to pay the shipping cost back to Swiss factory , they would keep 3-4 months to test it???? This on a watch I had for approx. thirty day. Wow, I have purchased Invicta for the twenty-five plus years.... but have not and will not buy anything else from Invicta...Retail on this watch was $****.** I did not pay that but after all the hassel and problems I got so made I threw this watch in the TRASH!!!! and chaulked up to a total lost.

    Verified Purchase

    This is a great looking watch. Unfortunately, it is so big it is uncomfortable to wear. I'm not a small guy either. I'm 5'11", 225lbs and this watch is so big it is uncomfortable to bend my wrist back with the watch on. I'm also not a stanger to large watches, I have a few chronograph style watches, but this is simply enormous. I bought it as an interesting casual watch to wear, but it's simply too big. I'm returning it even though it seems to be a great "deal". I have no complaints about the watch's quality or description, just make sure you know how big it is when you buy it!

Beautiful Painitings!
 from Fort Wayne, IN,  Feb 28, 2012

Love these paintings! We have a large wall between two large windows. These fit perfectly and look amazing! They were sized and described accurately, with the exception that they ended up being a little darker and colored a bit differently, but that adds to their unique-ness, I guess! :) Very pleased overall! Oh, and the communication from and shipping time was excellent too!

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Shown a little lighter than actual
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Amazing Quality
  • How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very Accurate

"Asking for help took a long time"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

Generally a bad experience.

I felt the staff were unhappy, complaining about the system in ear shot of patience and visitors.

After catching an infection in hospital having to have 3 operations, the 3rd being cancelled twice, then getting a secondary infection. Brought the staff attention to the bad smell of my wound, didn't seem to worry, apparently that had nothing to do with the secondary infection......Please - 5 days with the same dressing, no wonder there was an awful smell!

Unless you were a patient that kept staff busy, as a patient who din't make a fuss, when asking for help took a VERY long time!

I don't appreciate being warned to move as the matron will not approve.

To top it all, being told to attend clinic in 1 week, after no contact I contacted the hospital who had no idea I needed to attend....with an open wound, what do you do. Finally got an appointment with someone else, not my consultant who wanted to see me.

Square Enix casually mention losses of $148 million USD

After perhaps finding some missing accounts behind the fridge, Square Enix has upped its predicted financial losses for the year by twelve times.
Square had initially predicted a loss of around 1 billion yen (around $12.3 million USD) for the financial year ending 31 March, but now revised this total to what the company itself refers to as an ‘extraordinary’ 12 billion yen ($148.6 million). Which is … quite a bit different.
“A tightened selection standard regarding title lineup” in the digital realm, as well as cancellation of multiple unnamed digital projects, were fingered as the reason for around 4.5 billion yen in losses.

Another 8.8 billion yen was accounted for by “a rapidly changing operating environment and more prudent estimates of future cash flows.” In addition, damages from the Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earthquakes and Tsunami were estimated at 0.6 billion yen.
Skilled mathematicians will have realised that this adds up to around 13.9 billion yen, which is even more than the newly estimated 12 billion – but perhaps this is offset by other profits.
Either way, Square will be hoping that August’s release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution can start them off on a stronger financial footing this year.

For more than five decades, Peace Corps Volunteers in 140 countries have demonstrated ingenuity, creativity, and grit to solve critical challenges alongside community leaders.

Through the years, Peace Corps Volunteers have been connected by their passion for service and love for their host countries.

The transformative impact of the Peace Corps on the communities we serve and the Volunteers themselves can be measured in many ways. A shared cup of tea with a host mother that leads to a greater understanding of Americans. A new school library built, or a safe latrine where there wasn't one before. A young boy prepared to serve his own community, a young girl who sees herself as equal to her male classmates. A Volunteer with a clear career path and a lifelong passion. Here are just some of the ways the Peace Corps measures impact.

In the field

In the community

Peace Corps Volunteers leave a legacy in the lives of the community members they reach, educate, and inspire. Some of those young people grow up to be extraordinary leaders, including engineers, doctors, and government officials. See some of their stories:

The Legacy Project

Watch full series

In career success

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers have gone on to achieve extraordinary success in all kinds of fields.

Some, inspired by their service, stay in education or health-related professions, or choose to join the Foreign Service. Others pursue careers in business, from entrepreneurial startups to management at major companies.

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers are working as journalists, writers, members of Congress, and even astronauts.

Conservation of momentum question

  1. Oct 16, 2007 #1
    A shell is fired with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal.
    At the top of its trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One
    fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far
    from the gun does the other fragment land? Assume that the terrain is level and air
    resistance is negligible.

    Should I do this with conservation of momentum for each dimmension? I don't know how I would get a distance from this...
    So basically I am having a hard time getting the problem set up, I appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

    Questions to guide you:
    - Where is the top of the shell's trajectory? (Use coordinates where the gun is at the origin.)
    - What is the shell's velocity and momentum just before it explodes?
    - What is the initial momentum and velocity of the two fragments?
    - Treating the "other" fragment as a projectile, where does it land?

Poker groups!

      Joined: 06.12.2011 Posts: 33
      Hi all, just wanted to ask what kinds of things a poker group should cover. Theres a group of us here really planning on getting into online poker and will probably start studying together, going over hand histories and such.

      Would we just go through our hand histories and find the best/worst hands and go over them? Common leaks we should be looking out for? Pokertracker is really nice, and gives a ton of info, but I dont think I know how to use it to its full potential yet, like what sections we should be looking in to find flaws?

      I think overall though we're gonna start playin hard and focus on consistency and good decision making, but were pretty competitive and we all play live together sometimes so i think we'll kick each others butts into gear :D

      Thanks in advance :)

      One more question, does anyone know of a site that allows friends to do PLAY MONEY cash or sit n go's? We are not interested in cheating at all, but its a lot better to play with a full table than just 2-3 people :(

      Hi butterballa,

      First off, I have moved your post to Beginners Questions where I believe it is more appropriate.

      PokerStars offer a Home Games option.

      You can play both Play Money and Real Money games versus your friends. They offer tournaments and cash tables.

      Here is a helpful link to you from PokerStars website

      If you, or any of your friends have never held a PokerStars account, I would advise you all to sign up through our code here so that you can earn SPs for playing in real money games.

      To set up your PokerStars account through PokerStrategy, see here for all the relevant details

      Best regards,

Strategic Planning for the Future

Board Retreat: My thanks to the Board for your strong participation in the February 26-27 Retreat.The conversations during the retreat advanced all of our objectives. Discussions centering on membership “smart growth” deepened our appreciation of the complexity of membership recruitment, engagement and retention. Many ideas and insights were generated that have immediate practical application as well as longer-term organizational and board development implications. Delineation of management and board roles regarding membership was advanced as well. Final comments by board members and management reinforced the value of dialogue and the importance of continuing to make time at board meetings for strategic conversations that build the board as a community of leaders. Martha Summerville's summary of the Retreat and Next Steps will be distributed this week.

Management Team Retreat: PPI management will conduct a facilitated, two-day (off-site) planning retreat March 21-22. This retreat will focus on key issues of 2015-2017 Strategic Plan and Vision implementation.

During the coming months, the team and I will be working on a memo to the Board outlining our perspectives on thought leadership. This topic will be an area of strategic focus of the July Board meeting in Cambridge.

Winter Roundtable Feedback: Reaction to the Winter Roundtable program content was generally positive, although I was struck by several comments made by participants regarding content and agenda structure. An email received this morning from Dave Neal from FutureFund in Australia sums it up well:

I did enjoy the Winter Roundtable. For what its worth, I thought the breakfast session for the funds was excellent and could have productively been much longer. I also thought the guest speakers over dinners/lunches were excellent.  To be honest I thought most of the other sessions were a little disappointing – insufficient insight from the panels and not enough sharing of views and perspectives from the funds.

I also wonder about about the balance between commercial providers and funds – I need to get better at managing my position in the room clearly but for example I was on a table with 7 fund managers and no other funds on the Thursday evening. Given that I had flown to the other side of the Pacific to talk to other funds, and there was little opportunity to do that outside of the meals, that was disappointing.

Clearly we have work to do in terms of striking the right balance on several fronts, including content, agenda flow, encouraging dialogue, much better nurturing of first-time attendees and member prospects, and managing the size of attendance at the roundtables. I take these imperatives very seriously, and we will be working during the coming days to make the necessary adjustments and improvements. In a word, I get it.

The Winter Roundtable Insights Report will be available to PPI members within the next two weeks.

Summer Roundtable: Planning for the Summer Roundtable in Cambridge, MA is already well underway. While holding true to the Program Committee's desire to focus on tail risks, we are tweaking the theme slightly to provide a broader range of risk-related topics, to appeal to a wider range of PPI members. Against the backdrop of a volatile global investment environment, we regard this first east coast roundtable as an opportunity to engage a host of new institutions in the pension and endowment community as speakers and as participants.

Asia Programs: In the wake of my recent visit to Hong Kong, we formed a consultative group of PPI members to build the 2016 Executive Seminar and Asia Roundtable agendas. This group held its first preparatory conference call last week to consider topics and themes for these programs. During the coming months the consultative group, along with the Program Committee, will inform management on the direction of the October programs.

Registration Refinements: This week we will roll out a revision to PPI's program registration process intended to ensure transparency, fairness and balance as we pursue PPI's smart growth strategy. Most members will not experience a drastic change to the registration procedures. We will however, be adhering strictly to them to manage the size of program attendance, and thereby preserving the intimacy of the program experience.

Senior Program Director: We will conduct interviews this week in San Francisco with the finalist for the senior director of Programs and Knowledge. Assuming that all goes smoothly, I hope to move to the final stage of consideration of this candidate without delay.

Recruitment: Coming out of the 2016 Winter Roundtable and the related board activities, we invited Apollo Global Management to commercial membership in PPI. Approved for Friend of PPI membership were: Sandra Haas, SMH Management; Varel Freeman, Executive Advisor, European Bank of Reconstruction and Development; and Susan Carter, former President and CEO, Commonfund Capital. Citing financial difficulties, Loomis Sayles, declined our invitation to renew. They remain supportive of PPI and wish to be invited back to membership in 2017.

Under the leadership of new Co-Chairs Else Bos and Sheila Patel, the Membership Committee discussed at our recent meeting plans for outreach for the upcoming Summer Roundtable.  In addition to Stephen Blyth, CIO, Harvard Management Co., and Kim Lew, co-CIO, Carnegie Corporation, we plan to invite a number of the prominent endowments such as Yale, Tufts, Boston College, MIT, and others.  The committee also identified Universities Superannuation, ABP, and Norges Bank Investment Management as priorities for invitation.  In response, I will travel to Europe in April to engage a number of the prominent European pension systems. This trip will also include a stop-over in New York, Boston and Washington, DC for meetings with our current members and prospective participants in the area.  We will rely on your recommendations of key contacts in the EU, the US and Canada, that you believe would be good fits for the Summer Roundtable.

Systematic Member Management: Management has put into place a ‘net flow scoring system’ to support membership recruitment, improve our current member retention, and to measure the overall health of our membership. This system assigns a point value to each stage in a PPI member's lifecycle. Organizations that commit to membership, attend consistently, speak occasionally and renew annually, add higher values to the score. Organizations that do not attend consistently and have not contributed add no point value, and members that drop reduce the score. This simple tool will provide a more systematic, analytical approach that will be monitored carefully and inform our engagement strategies.

Membership Mapping: Recognizing that PPI’s network is part of the foundation of our sustainability and success, management has established a project to ‘map’ the relationships between and within our membership as well as the relationships between members and select prospects. The map is built with a powerful software tool to visually demonstrate the relationships. It will assist our thinking in the formation of affinity groups, program content, and prospective member selection.

Communications & Technology

Branding: In the last update to the President’s Dashboard, I reported on some hurdles that Bob Burlingame of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman encountered in the process to register "Pacific Pension & Investment Institute," "A Powerful Perspective," and the sphere logo design. Bob recently reported the good news that the measures he took to address the hurdles were well received. If there are no further hurdles and no opposition from interested parties, we should see completion of the registration process sometime in the summer.

PPI App: We released two new features to the Winter Roundtable app, "Submit a Question" and "Messages," which offer new ways for participants to interact with one another and with speakers.

With "Submit a Question" a participant can post a question regarding each of the session topics. Existing questions can be up-voted if a participant feels it is important to address. This will not replace the live Q&A, however. We think this feature would work best in preparation for a roundtable. As people review the recommended reading and reflect on the agenda, they can queue up their questions, and speakers can be better prepared with their remarks. While available in the app, no one used the Submit a Question feature this time.

"Messages" is the new direct private messaging feature that was released during the first evening of the Winter Roundtable. Due to the private nature of this feature, we do not know if anyone used it. In his announcement of the new feature in the Activity Feed, Mark was careful to remind participants that PPI's no-marketing policy and Chatham House Rule apply to the app experience.

For the Summer Roundtable, our team is working on Channels as an app platform for affinity groups, subsets of PPI members/attendees, so that they can communicate, organize and share in smaller groups based on common interests.

Annual Report: Mark is working on PPI's 2015 Annual Report. Our Bylaws require the distribution of the report to our members to be done by the end of April, but we are aiming to have this completed by the end of March.

Virtual Program Technology: Mark is negotiating with iCohere regarding the use of their web-based platform for learning, which includes secure webinars, multimedia content libraries, discussion forums and other communications tools.

'Outlandish' Stories from Mexico's Drug War

In this photo provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a silver Jeep Cherokee that suspected smugglers were attempting to drive over the U.S.-Mexico border fence is stuck at the top of a makeshift ramp early Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 near Yuma, Ariz. U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Yuma Station seized both the ramps and the vehicle, which stalled at the top of the ramp after it became high centered. The fence is approximately 14 feet high where the would-be smugglers attempted to illegally drive across the border. The two suspects fled into Mexico when the agents arrived at the scene. (AP Photo/U.S. Customs and Border Protection)

Mexico's drug war is no laughing matter.

But the methods drug smugglers use to get their illicit goods north of the border can be humorous.

The New Yorker's Patrick Radden Keefe has been documenting the "most outlandish" stories from the Mexican drug war in a new article.

He speaks to anchor Marco Werman about his report

All-American Athlete, Matt Smith, Urges The Health Conscious To Choose Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder

Whey protein has garnered much attention recently for it's amazing nutritional benefits. In order to maximize these benefits it is vitally important to know how to choose the best and highest quality whey protein powder.

Whey Protein Powder
Whey Protein
Whey Protein Isolate

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Matt Smith, a former all american collegiate soccer player turned nutritionist and founder of The Healthy Whey Blog, has launched a campaign calling all athletes, health conscious, and dieters alike to take advantage of the amazing health benefits of whey protein powder.  However, he makes strong note that choosing the correct whey protein powder is vitally important in order to maximize whey's nutritional benefits.

"It is not enough to simply choose any old whey protein powder from your local supermarket" states Matt passionately.  "With more and more research being done about whey protein's amazing makeup and nutritional advantages, people everywhere are jumping on the whey bandwagon for good reason.  However, people need to understand that they way in which their whey protein is produced makes a dramatic difference in the amount of beneficial enzymes and nutrients that it retains."

The Healthy Whey Blog caters to anyone who is health conscious and trying to decide which whey protein to choose.  The information does not stop with just whey protein as Matt often writes about other nutritional topics as well.

As someone passionate about nutrition and proper food production, Matt is urging people and food producers to begin using only whey protein that is derived from milk produced by open pasture grass fed cows.  Matt states, "Time and time again we see the amazing nutritional superiority of grass fed products over grain fed cow products.  This is especially true with whey protein powder as it is a fragile protein that contains many excellent enzymes for health.  Whey protein is a derivative of cow's milk so the way that the cow is raised and fed is very important. In fact, grass fed whey actually contains the good cholesterol known to lower bad cholesterol, has fewer calories, and is stocked with vitamins, minerals, and tons of antioxidants not found in grain fed cows."

With whey protein powder's popularity on the rise, it is quite common to find it in any grocery store or health store.  The difficulty comes in finding whey protein that is produced with the consumer in mind rather than profit margins.  Unfortunately, it is much cheaper and easier to produce low quality whey protein.  Whey protein is most beneficial when it is derived from grass fed cows and is undenatured.  Undenatured simply means that the whey was produced using low heat to ensure that the healthy enzymes and antioxidants stay intact giving the consumer maximum health benefits.

If interested in learning more about the nutritional benefits of whey protein and how to choose the most high quality grass fed whey protein visit http://www.wheyproteinpowders.org for more information.

Meta Byte Technologies Lists Out Potential Challenges with Traditional Data Governance Strategies

According to the company, though the goal of data governance is to ensure the quality, availability, integrity, security, and crucially, the usability of data within an organisation; many banks today struggle in practice with traditional approaches

April 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Meta Byte Technologies, an execution-oriented, management and technology consulting firm based in Dubai, UAE, has said that there is an urgent growing need for data governance in banks in this region. The company states that banks today face a challenge in terms of organizational and regulatory changes. They are struggling to keep up with such changes and competitive market dynamics. Since they are built on data, data governance should be a critical business concern. They also have new ways of generating data and regularly add new data sources. Due to this, they frequently encounter a variety of data quality, accessibility and security challenges. This leads to a complete disconnect in between business and IT resulting in a lack of accountability. Thus, banks need a comprehensive data governance structure and a well-executed strategy which can enable business to be accountable and IT to be agile and make informed decisions whilst efficiently responding to business changes with appropriate authorizations.

"Banks in the region have started realizing that the overwhelming amounts of data they are accumulating is unstructured in nature and have no insights in terms of where and who can access what. In order to gain these insights, the data needs to be transformed into information process that is comprehensive, consistent, correct and current. This challenge can very well be addressed through deployment of a data governance program that can allow banks to treat its data as a corporate asset by enforcing consistent definitions, rules, policies and procedures," explains Salil Dighe, the CEO of Meta Byte Technologies.

Over the past few months, Meta Byte Technologies has had dialogues with leading banks in the region. Through these interactions the company has been able to identify the worst practices and pitfalls banks need to avoid. “For one, data governance program is often perceived as just paying for Consultation services and adding employees to a governance committee. While that is a great first step, banks need to do more,” adds Dighe. “Banks need to create data definitions, business rules and KPIs to be used in their business processes, or they face not producing any business value from their data governance effort. Entitlements and compliance is then to be reviewed, with updates to these as and when the business needs change.”

The company clearly identified that the most prominent governance goal for Banks is the availability of reliable and accurate data for risk aggregation and reporting, including data accountability and traceability. They also find that although IT enables and reviews rules of Data Governance they are struggling to keep up with these processes manually. In addition, banks are realizing that data governance should not be an IT initiative. In order for a data governance program to be successful and sustainable, the mandate must come from the business, providing direction and steering the initiative, with IT objectives driving the plan for successful execution. IT then needs to have innovative approaches on how to reduce its own overhead and not be overwhelmed with business and helpdesk requests.

“We advise that organizations that are able to envision a disciplined data governance which encompasses people, processes, architecture and technology will be successful,” says Dighe. “Data governance should be automated within the corporate frame work,” says Dighe. ”Hence, Meta Byte Technologies uses its unique framework to work with banks in the region, in order to plan out a successful data governance strategy to help them draft a step-by-step approach to comply with their respective DG policies”.

Digheconcludes It is helpful to visualize the data governance structure as a comprehensive framework that rests on four pillars: the collection, management, protection, and delivery of critical data. These four components will form the foundation for an effective data governance model for banks to reduce operational risk and costs, and improve controls and compliance, along with the ability to leverage data as a true critical asset and deliver real business value.

I am a sports fan, so I try to think of PM in terms of sports so it will make sense to me. I have a question for those of you who know American football. I'm trying to figure out what the relationship is for a football play I saw this past Sunday. It was a play in the game between the Houston Texans and the New York Jets.

Here's the scenario: T.J. Yates is Houston's QB. He threw a lateral pass to the WR, Cecil Shorts, who then threw a forward pass to the RB, Alfred Blue who was waiting in the end zone for the football. Of course, Touchdown!!!

I'm pretty certain the the relationship with Yates and Shorts is a finish to finish.. My reasoning is, Yates has to finish throwing the ball to Shorts when it leaves his hands. Shorts then has to finish catching the ball. Once Shorts finishes catching the ball, he can then start the pass to Blue.

I feel as if the relationships are changing as the play taking shape. Shorts and Blue have a start to start relationship in the beginning of the play because they both start to run routes. Then the relationship changes because then Shorts starts to throw and Blue finishes in the end zone. Maybe I shouldn't use American football! LOL

Can somebody help me correct my understanding of something like this.

Hello Jay, I may not know the American Football but I can share with you an example of an FF and SS relationships in project management.
1. FF relationship is actually and simply used when we want two tasks to finish at the same time. ie: You would ideally want all the food to be somehow ready for eating at the same time. Of course, we are not including Entree, Main Meal and Dessert. I am referring to for instance Main Meal preparation Project. Entree and dessert would consist of its own sets of tasks which can also be defined as FF depending on whether you want to serve them at the same time.

2. SS relationships are best remembered from their names. Start To Start. In this case we want two tasks to start at the same time. In other words, Task 2 cannot start until Task 1 starts. You can also say, that until Tasks 1 starts, Tasks 2 cannot start. For instance, during a painting project, as you start painting work in the first room, you may want to start hanging wall papers in the second room. You don't want to start working in second room until the work in room 1 is started. You decided to start at the same time.
