It’s no secret I love New Mexican grown green chiles. So does Melissa’s World Variety Produce in Los Angeles, California. So much so, that during a recent trip to California, I attended a spicy workshop and reception hosted by Melissa’s, featuring New Mexican Hatch green chiles.
“When I grew up, I thought there was only one kind of chile: we just called them green.” says corporate chef Rodriguez who grew up in El Paso, Texas.
Southwesterners like Ida and I may just call them “greens”. However, the rest of the country is quickly getting to know these meaty, flavorful Hatch green chiles, named after Hatch, New Mexico, epicenter of state’s chile growing region.
The event was a Hatch chile lover’s dream: green chile salsa, guacamole, and deviled eggs made with green chile. Green chile cornbread, shrimp and club sandwiches. There were green chile cookies and green chile ice cubes in my lemonade and ginger ale. I felt like I was home.
But why were the green chiles I know and love from New Mexico being celebrated in California?
USDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBG) certainly played a role. This program, authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill and administered by USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), promotes fruits and vegetables and other specialty crops nationwide. State Departments of Agriculture apply to the USDA for block grants to expand markets for the unique specialty crops of their state.
New Mexico received SCBG funding to support educational workshops, events, marketing, and promotions featuring green chiles. As the biggest producer of chiles in the country, this crop provides over 2,000 full time and over 10,000 part time jobs to New Mexico. However, between 1992-2011, New Mexico’s production acres for green chiles dropped from 34,500 to 9,500. The green chile needed some help.
That’s what brought me to Melissa’s chile extravaganza. The event at Melissa’s was part of the SCBG effort to strengthen New Mexico’s green chile industry and expand the market for this important crop. With each new green chile lover in California and elsewhere, a New Mexican green chile farmer benefits.
The Specialty Crop Block Grant is due for reauthorization. The Food, Farms and Jobs Act would do that. However, the bill is currently awaiting Congressional approval. Secretary Vilsack recently outlined 10 reasons why Congress needs to pass the Food, Farm and Jobs Act. Supporting our nation’s specialty crops is another.

We have finally finished three condition oils. It took a few months of experimenting, tweaking recipes, and letting the “final” mixtures sit and set, but success has occurred!
We don’t take making oils lightly…at all. Working magic is already such a personal thing in most cases that even buying a pre-made magical product can be iffy. We have personally experienced absolute disappointment with a few of the commercially available products found in most shops. They didn’t smell or feel magical at all. They barely seemed like cleaning products. They appeared dead to us. Cold, dead, quickly prepared cheap oil spiked with a bare-bones and overused fragrance scent. Synthetic “majgickal oil” to be sold with the caveat that “the true magic lies within you, so it doesn’t really matter how authentic your tools are.” Rubbish.
All of our oils have actual Essential Oils (and only Essential Oils) to scent them. All of the Essential Oils are chosen first by their uses within the magical community, and then for their scent. This combination of similar attributes, as well as pleasingly scent, creates a truly magical Condition Oil. We only use the best carrier oils available. After all, these oils are going to be on your hands and used in actual work, they better be safe and beneficial in all regards. We also make sure that all of our oils have been made to ensure the longest shelf life possible. Some oils get finished rather quickly, but a few are used with less regularity. We want those to be able to provide use for years and not go rancid after a few months!
We decided to go with 1/2 ounce sizes. Why, you ask? This gives the user quite a bit of the oil to work with. This amount can easily cover 50+ dressed candles, be used many times over to anoint the body and objects, and not make you stress about using it all up within one sitting. The bottles are an attractive size and look good on our shelves, therefore we decided to stick with the 1/2 ounce size for now. We will, possibly, open ourselves up to providing different sizes in the future.
We have decided to color our oils for a few reasons. The first being that they look pleasing and we want anyone possessing our oils to be drawn to actually use them. Making many, many oils that all have a similar appearance starts to look like they are all the same. Though any experienced practitioner knows that these oils will work just fine on their own and uncolored, a lot of people react strongly to the color of the oil. We enjoy using the symbolism of the color with the oils. Anything that can possible accent the oils purpose is a good thing. Color, scent, and sight of the oils goes a long way to help focus the mind on the condition and work at hand. I have tried this both ways, while using an uncolored Psychic Boost Oil and then the same oil, but colored. I found myself being able to get into the mindset I needed quicker with the colored oil. The coloring we use is non-toxic and will not stain your hands. It is used in a quantity that is almost 1/5,000 ratio. For folks that prefer to use uncolored oils we can make them for you, however we would need 5 days to let them set.
The oils we currently have ready to go are as follows:
- Van Van Oil – When we decided that the first oil we made would have to be a Van Van Oil, we thought, “sure, no problem.” Symbolically it was a no-brainer to choose as our first oil. It sends away the bad and draws in the good. Wipes away the bad luck and lets the good luck rain on in! Health, wealth, protection, luck, empowerment! We had to start with a Van Van. Then mixing time came. This seemingly simple oil is actually quite complex due to the many possible ratios that can be used. What we thought would be the “easiest” oil to make up ended up testing us and our commitment to tweak and blend until we went slightly mad. It worked! (The oil, not the madness…well, a little of both is good for everyone.) We were gifted with a spicy, citrus blend of goodness to help usher in positive new directions in life.
- Peaceful Mind Oil – The idea for this oil started with my desire to rid myself of a pretty heavy bout of night-terrors that I was having. I was plagued by these on and off for years and decided to actively go about ending them once and for all! I set out a glass with fresh cool water on my bedside each night and started to do Peace of Mind work using this oil mixture on light blue candles. It took about 3 full months of water glass/dressed candle work, but I have been free of the night-terrors steadily since then. I knew then that I wanted to perfect the oil and try to bolster it a bit. The result of blending, letting set, and re-blending for a month and a half finally paid off. This warm, calming, floral scented oil is made specifically to calm and focus the mind, especially during times of stress or helplessness.
- Psychic Boost Oil – I wish I could have been working with an oil like this for the earlier part of my life. It would have been a great reason for me to set aside the time to focus on honing the craft of divination and psychic communication. I set out to create an oil that would take the Essential Oils that send my mind over the top, and wide open, and dilute them into a useable Psychic Boost Oil. A small dab on the middle eye or back of the neck is enough to tune me in to any psychic work that I am doing. A tiny coating on a candle will be more than enough to release the power of these strong plant’s powers. As I am ever learning, I find myself using this oil the most out of all three of these listed. Perfect for when I am preparing to do readings, work, or meditation. The final blend is a slightly sweet, but pungent and powerful oil that will help loosen your mind and further aid in your psychic development.
All of our oils have been lovingly prepared by the two of us in small batches. We want a final product that we feel as excited about selling to others as well feel about using them for ourselves! Each Condition Oil (and there are 3 more on the way in the near future) has a blend of at least three Essential Oils with the most EO’s used in one blend hitting six! I hope to get my butt in gear and get them listed in the Etsy store in the next 2 days. Stay tuned for more info, fun, news, and posts.
Oh rats, I didn’t even get to tell you about how the Norse Gods and Goddesses have been whispering to me, lately! Where does the time go… Save that one for another post, then.

Health plan profits: Relying on the market
■ Insurers aren't making money just from health care. Investment income and share repurchases are helping buoy earnings so plans look good for Wall Street.
- WITH THIS STORY:
- » Insurers find investing in themselves pays off
If you listen to health plan executives on one side, or many of their critics on the other, you might get the impression that insurance companies' profits are determined each year solely by how much they can charge in premiums, minus how much they have to spend on medical care.
If that were the case, it wouldn't make sense that health plans' profits have been going up, because many of the largest insurers are reporting declining enrollments and higher medical spending. So how are they making money?
Administrative cost controls play some part. But there are other factors: First, insurers also make money from investing premium dollars, and the returns they make on those investments have stabilized since the market crash of 2008.
The other factor is plans' billions of dollars worth of share buybacks, which affect the figure Wall Street watches most -- earnings per share. Even if cash profits don't change, per-share earnings will go up, because a company has fewer shares in the market.
For example, thanks to stock buybacks, Aetna's 2009 per-share earnings were up over 2008 -- even as its actual cash profits declined.
Boosting earnings per share keeps Wall Street (and shareholders) happy. And in for-profit health insurance, shareholders come first.
When companies have extra cash, they think of the best way to benefit shareholders. "It is a fairly straightforward decision: they have dollars. They could potentially use those to buy new computers, hire new staff, open new markets, increase reimbursement or deliver more services, but in the for-profit world, their first obligation is returns to their owners," said Joe Paduda, principal for the consulting firm Health Strategy Associates in Madison, Conn. His clients include PPOs, self-insured employers, and hospitals.
Insurers' investments and share buybacks matter, because they can indirectly affect doctors' pay. If the market isn't doing well and investment income drops, insurers feel even more shareholder pressure to raise premiums or cut costs, rather than risk an operating loss. That means less flexibility for doctors in negotiating reimbursements.
"They have less margin for error, because investment returns are so low," Paduda said. If health plans see higher-than-expected spending, "or they sell a policy to folks who, God forbid, actually get sick, then they've got a problem."
Second, every dollar an insurer sets aside to invest or buy back stock is a dollar it does not pay doctors, use to improve administrative processes, or otherwise invest in care for members.
For publicly traded companies, shareholders come first, so repurchases have become the go-to way to spend cash.
Insurers "ask themselves, 'Is this a better benefit for our mission?' " Paduda said. "The answer they come up with is, 'Yes.' "
Third, because health plans make money not only from premiums but also from the interest earned on premiums, the longer they hold on to that money, the more interest they earn. Some have accused insurers of delaying reimbursement to maximize that hold time, thus boosting interest. Once upon a time, that wasn't an insignificant amount of money.
Now that interest rates have dropped so low, the incentive to pay on time is stronger than the upside of holding money, said Dave Shove, a New York-based senior research analyst specializing in managed care for BMO Capital Markets Equity Research Group.
In their 2009 annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, many plans did report reductions in how many days it took to pay claims, though they credited that to overall improvements in processing.
"Physicians are sensitive to that issue, but in fact holding on to that money means that claims don't get paid as quickly, and not paying claims quickly makes customers mad," Shove said.
There could still be some companies that stretch out claims payment times to keep cash on hand, Paduda said, but in most cases, "the relationships with their physicians and members is more important than the few additional cents they could get from pushing out a reimbursement from two weeks to four."
Unlike life insurance or property insurance companies, which often hold on to collected premiums for years, health insurers see a quicker turnaround between collecting from customers and paying doctors or hospitals.
That means health plans' investments are short-term, Shove said. Regulations also require health plans to put premiums into conservative investments (that's why, for example, you didn't hear of insurers crippled by investments in subprime mortgages, though investments did decline in value due to the after-effects of the housing bust).
But short-term, conservative investments bring a smaller return.
When interest rates dropped with the recession, so did health plans' modest investment returns, Paduda said. While they once could avoid a premium increase or offset a bad year by relying on investment income, that's no longer the case.
"Now interest rates are low, so where it used to be 5%, 6% or 7%, now it's 1%, maybe 3% -- it's just not terribly meaningful," he said.
Scott Harrington, PhD, professor of health care management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, said the dip in interest rates -- and thus, a drop in investment income -- has had a modest effect on the price of insurance, compared with the main driver, the cost of care. Lower interest rates "would contribute to upward pressure on premiums, and increased pressure to control reimbursement, but it's a small factor," he said.
Nonprofit health plans commonly use investment income to offset losses. Iowa-based Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has defended itself against criticism of planned rate increases by noting that its board in 2006 approved a "break-even" operating strategy, letting the plan use investment income and reserves to make up for times when premiums don't cover medical expenses.
Shove said that because nonprofits generally operate at such a slim margin --1% or 2% versus 5% in the for-profit sector -- investment income can mean the difference between red and black for a given year. Experts said that has not been the case for the big shareholder-owned companies in the last few years.
Health plans also buy back shares of their own stock. This boosts earnings per share by shrinking the denominator. Fewer outstanding shares means each share is worth more.
Shove said share repurchases are simply a way to reward shareholders. Other options are paying dividends or buying other firms.
But health insurers historically have made very few dividend payments, he said, and "the health insurance business is pretty consolidated now. That just leaves one thing to do, and that is buy back stock, so they're doing it."
In 2009, the largest shareholder-owned plans repurchased a lot of stock, and it mostly has paid off: Stock prices rose, and earnings per share grew, in some cases quite dramatically, compared with 2008.
By its own admission, Aetna had a bad year in 2009 in terms of setting premiums high enough to cover medical costs. The company would have shown a decline in earnings-per-share had it not been for buying back $111 million of its own stock during the final three months of 2009.
With that purchase, Aetna kept 2009 earnings per share stable at $2.84, versus $2.83 for the previous year. That was despite a drop in net income in 2009 to $1.27 billion, from $1.38 billion in 2008.
But Aetna was not alone in using profits to buy back its stock, and the trend has held up in 2010.
Health Net, for example, took a loss of 47 cents per share in 2009, but eased the impact of that for shareholders and kept its stock price from dipping too far -- in part through share repurchases -- which totaled about $20.6 million in 2009. Chief Financial Officer Joseph Capezza said, at the company's Feb. 11 Investor Day, that Health Net would spend at least another $90 million on repurchases in 2010.
WellPoint Chief Financial Officer Wayne DeVeydt told investors at a March conference that the company plans to spend nearly $4 billion on share repurchases in 2010, following $2.6 billion in 2009.
"We routinely evaluate alternative methods for deploying capital to our shareholders and continue to believe that share repurchases currently are the most appropriate method," DeVeydt said during the company's conference call reviewing earnings for 2009.
Harrington said health insurers, like other companies, have favored share repurchases over paying bigger dividends, in part because the tax code favors repurchases, but also because if shareholder dividends are increased one year then cut the next, the market interprets that as very bad news.
A share repurchase is a one-time deal that can be done quickly, and analysts won't worry if the company doesn't do the same thing the following year.
Health plans also might repurchase if they feel stock is undervalued. "It might be the case -- in the environment of health care reform -- that they believed prices were depressed because of reform prospects, and some of the companies may have felt it was a good time to buy the shares," Harrington said. In other words, big health plans bet they could profit despite investor uncertainty.
Not everyone likes the way investments and stock prices drive the U.S. health care system. But short of a single-payer, government-controlled system, health system reform proposals are not aimed at changing this part of the way health insurance companies work.
"This is the world we live in," Shove said. "These guys are for-profit, and as long as we have insurance companies, we have to live with the consequences of that."

This must be Wes Welker’s worst nightmare.
Not his concussion, though that was certainly a worry. Not getting an opportunity to play against his former team, though that too had to be in the back of his mind.
No, this is Welker’s worst nightmare because he has to talk about it all, about his rattled brain and his friend, Tom Brady and heaven forbid, emotion. See, you can take the player out of the Patriots, but you can’t quite take the Patriots out of the player.
Welker, the Broncos’ slot receiver, practiced in full Friday after passing all of the tests regarding his concussion, which he suffered last weekend against Kansas City. He would be classified as “definite” for the game at New England on Sunday, if such a classification existed, according to Broncos coach Jack Del Rio. In reality, he’s listed as “probable” for Sunday, when he will line up against a defense dotted with former teammates. Of the Patriots’ 11 starters, eight played with Welker in 2012 in New England.
Welker’s feelings toward this game go deeper than just defensive matchups. It was with New England that he came into his own. Undrafted out of Texas Tech, he spent three years in San Diego and Miami. New England acquired him in a trade before the 2007 season and, paired with Brady, he became one of the NFL’s elite wide receivers.
Now, separated for the first time in six seasons, Brady said the two will be friends for the rest of their lives.
Now, close to 2,000 miles from Foxborough, Mass., and his former team, Welker joked that this week, they’re “pretty much enemies.”
But really, it’s lip service. Welker and Brady are two of the NFL’s most intense players, and Peyton Manning is right there with them. Welker’s tone fluctuated only once when discussing his former team, becoming a little higher-pitched, a little more urgent when he said how much it would mean to be playing Sunday. For him, though, it’s as much about competition as it is emotion, just as it will be for Brady, just as it was for Manning when he returned to Indianapolis.
“I’m sure it will be (strange), a little bit,” Welker said of his return. “But it’s another game, another field. It’s still the same size and everything else. I’m familiar with it, so that’s an advantage for sure.”
“There’s definitely some (games) down the stretch that can put you in position for later on in the season, and this is definitely one of those games against a really good team. We have to make sure that we’re coming out and playing the way we need to be to have a chance to win.”
Welker is approaching Sunday’s game in a matter-of-fact manner, just as the Broncos treated his acquisition. Asked to recall his reaction on that day in March when he learned the signing was a go, Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase offered little emotion beyond a slight bugging of the eyes. There’s no place for hyperbole here, for acting like Welker was some heaven-sent prize. He was — and is — a solution, the man who filled this offense’s last remaining hole as a slot receiver.
“I know we had a little bit of a void there,” Gase said. “We weren’t really sure what we were going to do with the slot position. There was still, ‘Is it (Brandon) Stokley? Do we move (Eric) Decker inside and use (Andre Caldwell) more on the outside?’ We were just trying to figure out what our best move was, and then when that got brought up that we at least had an idea of what we could do if we had a player of his ability.”
What’s been painted all week as a tearful reunion sounds in Gase’s words more like a mathematical equation. So much for legacy, for import, for relationships. Welker, he of the nine touchdowns — already tying his season high — and 648 yards, is just a solution to a problem.
Sounds about right.

You undoubtedly knew Wes Welker as a New England Patriot before he arrived in Denver this year, but you might not know his whole NFL journey after going undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2004.
San Diego: The Chargers signed Welker as an undrafted rookie. He made the team out of training camp, only to be cut after the first game.
Miami: The Dolphins picked up Welker after he was cut and designated him for use mostly on special teams. In his second year in Miami, he started getting time at receiver, and in 2006 he had 67 receptions for 687 yards and one touchdown.
New England: The Patriots traded for Welker before the 2007 season, and in his first year with New England, he had 112 receptions for 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns. His best season came in 2011, when he had 122 receptions for 1,569 yards and nine touchdowns.
Denver: In his first season with the Broncos, who are 9-1, Welker has 61 receptions for 648 yards and nine TDs.

It's a dark, deserted parking lot late at night. A woman cries out for help.
And a slew of super-heroes from Marvel appear, all ready for Clobberin' Time - Captain America, Thor, Spiderman, Wolverine and Storm of the X-Men... plus a few others I couldn't identify.
But when they learn of the woman's dilemma, they all groan in exasperation: her Visa Check Card was missing! All of the super-heroes know that if your card lost or stolen, you won't be held liable for any purchases made by anybody else and the card will be replaced by the next day.
Even Captain America carries one.
It was a great opportunity to see a Marvel Team-Up, TV Style.
But this wasn't exactly Toobworld. It was more like one of those nexus worlds where characters from different dimensions end up meeting, because they certainly weren't all from the TV Universe, no matter which dimension.
Thor? Thor has been represented several time in Earth Prime-Time, most notably in episodes of 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' and in a showcase pilot. So it doesn't matter too much that the details of his physical appearance might have altered slightly - after all, he's a "god"; he can do what he wants.
Wolverine, Storm, and the others - they are certainly not the superheroes from the Cineverse; they're definitely not Hugh Jackman or Halle Berry. And they're not the versions found in the Tooniverse either. Although usually we pass off cartoon characters as the artistic representations of real life people, there's something about these versions that doesn't quite fit. More than likely, they're from one of the alternate versions of Earth Prime-Time, and for alls I know, they're probably from the evil mirror universe.
Captain America? This tele-version is probably from Earth Prime-Time Delayed. There was a Captain America who appeared in prime time already about two decades ago, maybe more. Not being immortal, he would have been aging all this time and this cowled crusader was too young to be the same guy. And too much of a wise guy to boot - you could tell by the facial expression he made.
Then there's Spiderman. Here's another of Marvel's Mightiest who appeared in Toobworld decades ago. He'd be in middle-age by now if this was the same guy. And based on the vocal impersonation when he told the lady to "read my lips" (great line/visual, by the way), it's apparent that they were going for the Tobey McGuire sound.
And that makes him the Spiderman from the Cineverse, the movie universe explored by a sci-fi writer in a trilogy several years back.
Finally, one last super-hero showed up, but not from the Marvel line-up. There was no need to fear, for Underdog was there! And as such, he must have arrived there from the Tooniverse, where humans and humanoid animals co-exist.
(I hope someday to find out who provided the voice for Underdog in this commercial. It's my hope that they used the original soundtrack from the 60s cartoon, so that it would pay homage to the late, great Wally Cox.)

Dance Movement Therapy
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a psychotherapeutic approach to movement which recognizes that through the intentional use of the body, we can access, and heal the mind. Central to this work is the belief that non-verbal communication, the use of ritual space, and bodily expression have the power to heal the whole person.
A Dance Movement Therapy session can look very different depending on the client's needs. We may work on improvisational movement, increasing range of motion, mirroring, stretching, progressive relaxation, rhythmic and synchronized movement, expansion of expressive movement vocabulary, movement meditation, utilization of ritual space, and embodied storytelling, etc. There is no aspect of DMT that requires the client to have previous dance experience or knowledge. This work does not resemble choreographed dance, with which most people are familiar. There are no routines or steps to follow. In DMT, the emphasis is on self-expression and the therapeutic capacity of movement in its purest form.
*Please note that at this time, I am not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.
The benefits of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) include improvement in social interaction skills and mood. DMT also has the ability to soothe the over-activation of the nervous system, which is common after undergoing a traumatic event(s). Traumatic experiences that remain stuck in the body are often the root cause of many stress related conditions. In DMT, we release the destructive and corrosive energy that residual trauma has on both the body and mind. Through the process of engaging in self-directed movement, we find comfort again in our bodies, and reinvigorate our own internal resilience. This approach also enhances balance, motor coordination, and the development of self-awareness, self-expression, creativity, and imagination. The non-verbal component of the work can also support communication and relationship building skills amongst those with neurodevelopmental conditions.*

Since a condo association acts as a group when it comes to collecting condo fees in order to pay bills such as water, sewerage, upkeep, management, insurance and those collective payments.
Most condo association collect more that is needed in the day-to-day operations so the association will have money when something unexpected happens. If your condo fees are $350 per month may go into a reserve account. This account builds money over time.
The reserve account is also important for conventional loans as they demand you have at least 10% of your operating budget for those unexpected bills. In a small association one member may quit paying for whatever reason. The reserves may have to be used. If something large breaks or is damaged then the reserves come to the rescue. The reserves may be used as a gap for damage even if the complex has been damaged by a storm. Condos have large insurance deductibles that often 6 figures.
When reserves are not enough to cover the expense of remodeling or repairing damage then each owner is asked to pay an assessment. The assessment is generally based on the size of the unit or its percent ownership. The assessment may be spread over a period of time or needed all at once. This will depend on how the owners vote to have it assessed.
You will want the condo you purchase to have ample reserves for when something happens or is needed to improve the condo building or common areas. Many condo association make each new owner contribute 2-3 months of condo dues into the condo reserve fund. This should be found in the condo docs or an amendment to the condo docs.
Recently I have been to two condo associations that are upgrading the building and the common area. One is Magazine Place Condo association at 760 Magazine where they assessed the owners for the upgrades. The building and all the windows had to be painted. The roof had to be repaired. You have to do such projects to hold and increase value. The complex looks so much better with a fresh coat of paint and newly painted windows.
The other association that I was in was 700 S. Peters in the New Orleans Warehouse District which recently painted the Atrium and improved the rooftop deck. Both these projects make the entire building worth more and will make new buyers want to be there. It’s basically an investment in the future and an increase in value of the project right now. People want a home or second home that looks and feels nice.
Buildings and Common areas just need to be updated over time and by having enough reserves makes it easier to upgrade. Many times you will get a combination of reserves and assessments when upgrades are made so as not to drain the reserves for a real emergency.

75-Year-Old Wyoming Woman is Convicted of 2nd-Degree Murder
Jurors have found a 75-year-old Missouri woman guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband in Wyoming almost 40 years ago.
The jury in Cheyenne deliberated for about 13 hours before delivering the verdict Thursday in the case of Alice Uden.
Uden had testified she shot 24-year-old Ronald Holtz in the back of the head sometime in late 1974 or early 1975. She said she shot him just as he was about to attack her 2-year-old daughter in her crib.
Prosecutors alleged Uden killed Holtz as he slept.
Investigators recovered Holtz’s remains last summer from an abandoned mine shaft.
Police arrested Uden and her current husband, 71-year-old Gerald Uden, in Missouri in September.
Gerald Uden has pleaded guilty to shooting his ex-wife and her two children in central Wyoming in 1980. Prosecutors haven’t linked the two cases.

Although proponents of the bond issue say it’s desperately needed for improvements to Arkansas’ interstates, they also acknowledge it only goes a small way toward addressing billions of dollars in needs in the coming years.
“I hope we’re finally going to come together and say that we’ve got to find a new funding model,” said House Speaker Robert Moore, who pushed for the bond proposal and a half-cent sales tax that will go before voters next year. “That’s not where we are.”
It’s a fact Moore knows all too well. The Democrat from Arkansas City made highways one of his top priorities in the legislative session this year. It’s one of the state’s biggest unfunded needs, with $23 billion in projected needs over the next decade but only $4 billion in funding.
A committee formed to study highway funding offered recommendations to lawmakers. But the ideas — which included tax increases and shifting some money from general revenue — were generally viewed as unrealistic politically.
Moore said at the start of the legislative session that he wanted to see if colleagues would back a tax increase for roads. Instead, there was more support among legislators for referring a tax increase to voters rather than a straight up-or-down vote on a tax increase among lawmakers.
Senate President Paul Bookout said opposition to an up-or-down vote on a tax hike reflected the anti-tax climate that many lawmakers were facing in their home districts.
“It takes cold hard cash to do it. You’ve got to have support and I think legislators were hearing from constituents that now is not the time financially to afford to do it,” said Bookout, D-Jonesboro. “That’s reality.”
Even that scaled-down approach hit a snag when the state’s trucking lobby withdrew its backing of a five-cent increase in the diesel tax after its own polling showed widespread opposition among voters. Instead, voters are being asked to extend an existing bond program with a proposal that won’t raise taxes — and won’t lower them if it’s rejected.
It’s an approach polls indicate has more support, but perhaps not as much as the 1999 bond issue that won by a 4-1 margin.
It also won’t provide too many clues for supporters on what to expect in the next ballot fight over highways. The bond proposal appears on the ballot Tuesday during a non-election year and with bipartisan support from the chairmen of both the state Democratic and Republican parties.
That’s a much better scenario than next year, when the half-cent sales tax will share the stage with a presidential election, congressional races and a heated fight over control of the Democrat-controlled Legislature.
The Arkansas Trucking Association’s polling also showed opposition to the half-cent sales tax, though not as strong. The vote on that measure could set up another legislative session where much of the talk focuses on the best way to pay for the state’s road needs.
“It’s going to be a challenge that we’re going to see that we’re going to see in January of 2013,” said Lane Kidd, the association’s president. “It’ll be hard pressed to pass.”
Kidd, Moore and other backers of the highway bond plan say they need to do a better job of explaining the state’s road needs and connecting them to voters. Kidd said it’s a problem they face not just at the state level, but nationally.
“I wonder if Eisenhower would have convinced Congress to build the interstate system today,” Kidd said. “I doubt it.”
Gov. Mike Beebe said the problem shows the need for a national infrastructure plan, and said it’ll take the American people demanding one. Until then, he said measures like the bond issue are at least some progress toward closing that funding gap.
“The needs are much greater than what the proposals are for attacking it,” Beebe said. “That doesn’t mean you don’t continue to try to attack it.”

As members of this board I'm sure all of us lust after "long lenses". Many of us are fortunate enough to quench that lust. Now there must be a number of us out there that have just moved up to long and fast glass and find that their skills are not just up to the task of getting the best performance form these lenses. I admit to being one of them. Practicing the craft of photography for the past 40 year my experiences have been very limited with large telephoto lenses. I'm sure that there are many others out there in the same situtation. Perhaps we might continue this thread with those who have experiences and the techniques, tricks, procedures that have proven to improve long lense skills. I apologize if this subject has been disscussed before.

Kristen Stewart plays coy over sexuality rumours

Actress Kristen Stewart skirted around rumours about her sexuality when she was asked to define herself in a new magazine interview.
The Twilight star faced speculation about her relationship with her personal assistant Alicia Cargile earlier this year after they were pictured together on numerous occasions, but Stewart has so far refused to address the rumours.
She was asked about her sexuality in a chat with Nylon magazine, and she declared she plans to keep her status ambiguous, telling the publication, "Google me, I'm not hiding, if you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it. But I am an actress, man.
"I live in the f---ing ambiguity of this life and I love it. I don't feel like it would be true for me to be like, 'I'm coming out!' No, I do a job. Until I decide that I'm starting a foundation or that I have some perspective or opinion that other people should be receiving... I don't. I'm just a kid making movies.
"I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don't think it's necessary to figure out if you're gay or straight. It's like, just do your thing."
Stewart, 25, was previously involved in a high-profile relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, but the couple broke up following the publication of pictures showing the actress in a clinch with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
When asked whether she remains in touch with her former boyfriend, she declares, "That's not something I would ever talk to the f---ing public about - that's crazy."

Find out what the parents of our students have to say about our pre-school.
Generally I am very pleased with the programmes, teachers and the school. I have seen my child grow more confident speaking in front of others and his language skills are very developed. I am impressed with some of the topics he's learning in class and it's really good exposure for him. It has been a good year and he is also happy to stay on with his class.
- Tangie Wong
The teachers are very passionate in what they do, and seek constant input from parents and converse with us as much as possible to keep us up-to-date with our child's progress and also seek improvement. They put in a lot of effort and it shows in their work. The children adore them, and that speaks volumes!

Slender ViewAsk a baby about dying and she or he will have a look at you as for those who simply landed from some distant planet. Loss of life? They could have heard the phrase in some unspecified time in the future or other-perhaps when a pet handed away-but it means nothing, and has completely nothing, to do with them.Ask any teenager, or anybody underneath the age of thirty for that matter, and for those who actually hear, you’ll hear that deep down they firmly consider they are going to by no means die. Properly, let’s restate that, dying continues to be thus far sooner or later as to be inconceivable.Well being As A GivenThese are additionally the strata of 1’s life when well being is a given. You actually should work at it to develop unhealthy as a teen; and as a baby it’s nearly not possible to get sick.For the physique continues to be rising, continues to be on the up swing; every part works completely, or corrects itself shortly if it does not. That’s, for those who let it.And in these age brackets, you possibly can eat absolutely anything with out placing on weight; your metabolism will break down iron nails. Life the way in which it must be.With well being as a day by day given, different points take the entrance seat; and as you sail into teenagership, of these, look will brook few opponents.
AdmirationSomeone stated that admiration is what we worth probably the most on this Earth. Empirically talking, that can’t be removed from the reality. All of us crave it, in various levels; particularly from puberty onward, and by some means, we by no means appear to let go of that thirst.DietsAs a end result, an enormous percentage-not matter what motive is ostensibly given-most diets are undertaken, suffered, and re-undertaken, and re-suffered for the sake of look. For the sake of admiration.This may increasingly work whilst you’re nonetheless in your thirties, however by the point you slide off that specific bracket, quick meals and too a few years spent in entrance of the tv could have begun to return residence to roost, and well being is buckling. Not critically but, however these additional fifty or so kilos is placing fairly a pressure on the system, and right here and there leaks are sprung, and valves are blowing.Nonetheless, look is way extra vital.Associates and HealthSomeone else stated probably the most worthwhile commodities on the earth are true associates and good well being.And, amazingly, true associates not often, if ever, care about look.DeteriorationAs you age, the physique will begin to deteriorate-yes, the phrase is used fairly exactly. Your DNA consists of varied milestones, the primary one, maybe, being the height of progress, which some peg at in regards to the late twenties. It is apparently downhill from there.Issues are by no means stationary. So long as we’ve gravity, they both rise or fall-the peak of relaxation at apex could be very quick.Till the physique reaches peak progress, it is all programs go. As soon as it arrives, and progress ceases, deterioration will set it, quick for some, slowly for others, very slowly for the fortunate, and really very slowly for the few who worth well being above look.HappinessIt’s funny-or maybe not so funny-but the happiness we expertise within the wash of admiration is moderately shallow, and at all times wants somebody to strengthen it with extra oohs and aahs. We not often get up into it.The happiness we expertise from a activity nicely carried out, on the opposite than, or from a pal helped, from a promise stored, or a lie not stated, runs a lot deeper, lasts for much longer, and doesn’t want exterior affirmation. And it greets us with the daybreak.
Well being vs. AppearanceI consider that good well being is your most beneficial asset. With it, you are able to do or accomplish absolutely anything; with out it, you are shackled to a level. With it, you dare to dream; with out it, goals fracture.Look will stick with you solely so lengthy, after which it is gone. Truth of life.One of the crucial stunning girls of all time, Greta Garbo, suffered intensely from the wrinkles that appeared on her higher lip as she aged, and her mouth was the very first thing she would cowl from the cameras; look being every part.If you happen to, sooner moderately than later, deal with well being because the precedence it must be all by life-and for those who on the identical time devalue look because the fad it actually is-you might be a a lot happier individual.The good distance of claiming that you must eating regimen for the best motive: Well being.(Eighth in a Collection)

As society moves from a manufacturing-based economy to one drawing from knowledge-based production, where a workforce processes ideas more than it performs tasks, matching the right person to the right job becomes more complicated.
New research by Katharine Anderson, assistant professor of economics and entrepreneurship, seeks to improve and modernize the process by applying a new series of algorithms that rethink the way employers evaluate a person’s skill sets.
Using data collected from a freelance job search site, Anderson connected skills that are typically required by job types. For example, a 3D design position might require animation, printing, Autodesk and Google Sketchup. A social media job might require Facebook marketing, search engine optimization, social bookmarking and reputation management.
From the worker’s perspective, Anderson’s tool links skill sets into clusters of similarity. Traditionally, an employer might try to measure a candidate’s suitability by looking at years of experience or years of education. But Anderson’s tool provides a more detailed sense of how specialized his or her skills are.
If a person’s skills all lie in a single cluster, the person is considered highly specialized. If they have skills spread across several clusters, they are diverse. And it’s the diverse worker who tends to command a higher wage.
However, Anderson points out that there are actually two types of diverse workers. Those who use their diverse skills independently earn higher wages by broadening the scope of possible jobs. Those who have useful skills that are not commonly found together, such as software development and design, or software development and management, benefit from synergies between their skills to fill an unoccupied market niche. Anderson’s hope is that a better algorithm will lead to a better quality match between workers and job openings. Additionally, people who are seeking additional training could use Anderson’s system to choose skill sets that would increase the chances of alternative careers and higher salaries.

Work in a Toll Booth
Have you ever shelled out change to pay a toll? Were you polite to the toll booth workers who make their living collecting tolls from motorists like you?
Toll booth workers collect money, disburse change, and issue receipts to motorists who use toll roads and private facilities. They also document how many people come by and watch out for toll evaders. Toll booth workers ensure that toll roads operate smoothly and efficiently.
Toll booth workers spend their days working in small toll booths on roads, bridges, highways, turnpikes, airports, parking structures, and ferries – anywhere where you have to pay a fee from your car window. It is a tedious job, but it is one that is needed.
Tolls are collected to help fund structures and roads. Many times a private company will build a new road and then use tolls to make their money back. Once they are paid off, they can transfer the road to the government. This is called a BOT or Built-Operate-Transfer.
The three main types of tolls are open, closed, and electronic. Open tolls are where all vehicles stop at spots along a highway to pay. Closed tolls are where you collect an entrance ticket and pay upon exit, like in a parking garage. Electronic tolls eliminate the need to stop at the toll booth by monitoring cars with transponders and then charging them a usage fee.
It is the responsibility of the toll booth worker to determine the fees a driver must pay when they arrive at the toll booth. Unfortunately, motorists are often not very pleasant to toll booth workers because they see the toll as a burden on their time and wallets. Toll booth workers need to be thick skinned to deal with these surly clients.
Toll booth workers usually spend 8 hour shifts in very cramped booths. Every booth must be manned 24 hours a day and the routine can quickly become repetitive. It’s a good idea to invest in a portable radio to help the time go by. Many toll booths have a small lounge nearby so workers can take breaks, have coffee, and stretch.
Toll booth workers wear uniforms issued by their employer who is either a private company or the state, federal, or local government. The uniform varies depending on the season and the weather. Wearing rubber gloves reduces the amount of grubby germy money they touch and using ear plugs cuts down on the constant sounds of car engines. Some toll booth workers also wear facemasks to filter out exhaust fumes from idling cars.
There are no formal educational requirements to be a toll booth worker. The ability to count and deal with money is essential and background checks are often required. Toll booth workers keep very busy, unfortunately fewer toll booth workers are needed each year because technology like EZPass and RFID are taking over.
In exchange for keeping America running, toll booth operators receive $18,000 to $38,000 per year or 9 to $17 per hour plus benefits, overtime, and bonuses. Depending on where a toll booth worker works, they may be part of a union that negotiates wages and benefits. Some states assign toll booth workers levels I to IV, which helps to distinguish their role and rank in the toll booth world.
Toll booths are here to stay. They may be annoying to many motorists, but they keep roads open, parking structures full, and ferries floating. Remember that wherever there is a toll booth, a toll booth worker is making a living.

By Johnny Edward and James Agberebi:
Former Nigeria international, Garba Lawal, and Super Eagles defender Elderson Echiejile have hailed the country’s U-23s for qualifying for the African U-23 Championship after holding Congo to a 0-0 in Pointe Noire.
In a chat with completesportsnigeria.com, Lawal praised coach Samson Siasia and the players for emulating the feat of the 1996 set, who held Egypt to a 1-1 after taking a slim 3-2 lead to Cairo.
“I want to say congratulations to Siasia and his boys. They were able to do what we did in 1995 when we held Egypt to a 1-1 draw after we went there with a 3-2 advantage,” the Atlanta ’96 gold medallist told completesportsnigeria.com.
“They have done themselves and the country proud and I say congratulations to them.”
AS Monaco defender Echiejile also applauded the team after their impressive feat in Pointe Noire on Sunday.
“It’s a good win for the coach and the team,” Echiejile told completesportsnigeria.com.
“I’m impressed with their feat.”
Echiejile charged the team not to relent in their efforts as they still have to win a ticket to feature at the Olympics next year in Rio De Janeiro.
“For them it’s time for them to celebrate but the task is not over yet as they must do well in Senegal again to fly Nigeria’s flag in Brazil,” he added..

I suggest that you read post 16.25 on electrical charge before you read this.
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus believed that you couldn’t keep breaking stuff into smaller and smaller bits – there must be a limit. He called these smallest bits of stuff atoms. I’m not convinced by the logic of his argument (see Xeno’s paradox in post 16.6) but the idea of the atom proved to be very useful when it was developed by the scientist John Dalton in Manchester, England in 1805. The existence of atoms could explain many experimental observations (see posts 16.2 and 16.3) and their structure was extensively investigated, especially in England in Manchester and Cambridge (although one of the most important early experiments on the electron was performed by R. A. Millikan at the University of Chicago).
In post 16.6 we saw that an atom consisted of a central core, called its nucleus. The nucleus can contain two types of particle: the neutron and the proton. Neutrons and protons have almost the same mass (1.67 × 10-27 kg). (See post 16.7 if you’re not sure about this way of writing numbers.) Protons have a positive charge (1.60 × 10-19 C) but neutrons have no charge.
The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. They have a mass that is negligible compared to the mass of a proton or a neutron (9.11 × 10-31 kg). The charge on an electron is equal but opposite to the charge on a proton (-1.60 × 10-19 C). Since an atom is electrically neutral, it has the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number, Z. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom is called its mass number, A.
Anything that consists of atoms with the same value of Z is called an element. Examples of elements are: hydrogen (Z = 1), oxygen (Z = 8), iron (Z = 26) and uranium (Z = 92).
Atoms that have the same value of Z but different values of A are called isotopes. Most hydrogen atoms (Z = 1) have A = 1 (no neutrons in the nucleus). But some hydrogen atoms have one proton in the nucleus (Z = 1, A= 2); this isotope is sometimes called deuterium. Another isotopes of hydrogen has two protons in the nucleus (Z = 1, A=3); this isotope is sometimes called tritium. Uranium (Z = 92) consists mostly of a mixture of two isotopes: uranium-235 (A =235) and uranium-238 (A = 238). Only uranium-238 is radioactive (see post 16.6) and must be separated from uranium-235 for use in nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons. This process is called enrichment.
The element chlorine occurs naturally as a mixture of isotopes: with A = 35 (75.8%) and A = 37 (24.2%). So, in a sample of naturally occurring chlorine the average value of A is (35 × 0.758) + (37 × 0.242) = 35.5. We say that chlorine has a relative atomic mass of 35.5. This mass is measured relative to 1/12 times the mass of a carbon nucleus (A =12); this is almost exactly the same as the mass of a hydrogen nucleus (A = 1). Because most elements occur naturally as a mixture of isotopes, their relative atomic masses are not usually whole numbers. Unfortunately (see post 16.17) you will sometimes see relative atomic mass called “atomic weight”. Because it’s just the number of hydrogen nuclei that have the same mass, it does not have units of mass (kg – see posts 16.12 and 16.13 for more information on units) – it’s just a number. However, you will sometimes see the phrase atomic mass unit (amu) used to make it clear that this is not a mass measured in kg. Biochemists tend to use the dalton instead of the amu – it’s the same thing!
How do we convert a mass measured in amu into a mass in kg? We divide the mass in amu by a number called Avogadro’s number (6.022 × 1023) and divide the result by 1000. For example, the relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 amu. The mass of an average chlorine atom is then 35.5/(6.022 × 1023) = 5.90 × 10-23 divided by 1000 which equals 5.90 × 10-26 kg. Why do we have to divide by 1000? The reason is that Avogadro’s number was defined when the standard unit of mass was the gramme; it is now the kilogramme (see post 16.13).
Atoms are very small. I am about the same mass as 1027 chlorine atoms. And the earth has the same mass as 1023 people of about my size. The first of these numbers is ten thousand times greater than the second!

COLLEGE STATION— Bill Jones of Austin was elected chairman of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, and John D. White of Houston was elected vice chairman, both unanimously, during a meeting of the governing board this afternoon.
Since 2005, Jones has served as vice chairman of the board. He will now serve a two-year term as chairman.
Also since 2005, White has served as chairman of the board, and he will now serve a two-year term as vice chairman.
“I am honored that Governor Perry entrusted me with the awesome responsibility to serve our state as an A&M System regent,” said Jones. “I thank the board for its vote of confidence in Vice Chairman White’s and my leadership. I look forward to working with each of them as we seek to educate our students and maintain stewardship over the System’s resources.”
John White said, “The A&M System continues to have terrific success in developing initiatives to benefit many sectors of our economy, including our BioEnergy Alliance, Texas Institute for Genomic Medicine (TIGM), and the related Texas Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS). It’s exciting work to help A&M System universities and agencies provide leadership in these and other critical fields for our state’s educational and economic priorities. I am delighted that Bill Jones’ leadership has been recognized and look forward to continuing our close working relationship.”
Jones, a native of Caldwell, is a 1981 business management graduate of Texas A&M University and a 1985 graduate of Baylor University Law School. He is a partner in the law firm of Vinson & Elkins LLP in Austin, and he previously served as the general counsel to Governor Rick Perry.
In 1996-97, Jones served as president of the 20,000-member Texas Young Lawyers Association and is serving, or has served, as a member of several other boards including the Baylor Law School Alumni Association Executive Board, the Capitol Area Boy Scouts of America Board and the Texas A&M Association of Former Students Board. He also serves on the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System Foundation Board and the Texas Public Policy Foundation Board.
Jones was elected vice chairman of the Board of Regents in 2005 and currently chairs the Committee on Audit and serves as a member of the Committee on Academic and Student Affairs. He also serves as a member of the Presidential Library Committee and the Public Policy and Planning Committee, as the board’s liaison to the Texas A&M Research Foundation, as the A&M System’s athletics liaison, and as a member of the Herman F. & Minnie Belle Heep Texas A&M University Foundation.
White, a fifth generation Texas rancher and a second generation Aggie, received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Texas A&M University in 1970. He is a founder and general counsel for Standard Renewable Energy Group and was previously the managing partner in the Houston office of the Jones Walker Law Firm.
White earned his juris doctor from the University of Texas. He is a fellow of the American, Texas and Houston Bar Associations and past chairman of the Texas Young Lawyers Association. He currently serves as chairman of the board of the Ed Rachal Foundation and the Texas Institute for Genomic Medicine (TIGM), and he is a director of the Texas Lyceum Association.
He formerly served as a director of the Greater Houston Partnership, a director of the Texas A&M Association of Former Students and a past member of the Board of Visitors at Texas A&M University at Galveston.
White was elected chairman of the Board of Regents in 2005. He currently chairs the Public Policy and Planning Committee and serves as a member of the Presidential Library Committee and as the board’s special liaison to both the Texas A&M Association of Former Students and Board for Lease of University Lands. He also serves as a member of the Herman F. & Minnie Belle Heep Texas A&M University Foundation.
As students at Texas A&M University, both Jones and White were members of the Corps of Cadets and Ross Volunteers honor guard, where they served as Major Unit Commanders. Both were appointed in 2003 to the A&M System Board of Regents by Gov. Rick Perry, with terms set to expire Feb. 1, 2009.
Today’s meeting was the first for new regents, Morris E. Foster of Houston, J.L. Huffines of Dallas, and James P. Wilson of Sugar Land, who were appointed to the board by Governor Rick Perry earlier this month and sworn into office yesterday.

Over the past year, I gained some weight. It happens to the best of us. My job can be quite stressful, and I had stopped paying attention to or taking care of myself. Suddenly the scale had increased by double digits and I was getting more and more depressed and unhappy. My body hurt, I wasn’t sleeping, and I didn’t enjoy anything about my incredibly wonderful life. Once I realized how far my unhappiness had spread, I knew I had to do something about it. How could I bring happiness to those around me when I couldn’t even make myself happy? It wasn’t anyone else’s job. So, I set out to find my own happy. And Whole30 changed my life.
I walked up behind my director on a photo shoot one day and she turned around and said, “What are you eating?” without missing a beat I replied, “My feelings.” (it was actually a very delicious cookie, and probably my 3rd since lunch that day.) So, obviously, the first logical stop was my physical health. I have always had suspicions I was allergic or intolerant to milk, so for years I had reduced my intake of cheese and dairy products and switched completely to almond milk. But you know what tastes really good after a bad day? Queso. Especially if there were more cookies to be found for dessert.
I had a friend who was in the middle of her Whole30 journey and one day I (rudely) asked “Goodness! What CAN you eat?!”. Her response? “Silly girl! I can eat every kind of meat, fruits, vegetables, and all nuts except peanuts.” After hearing it put that way, it didn’t seem so bad. So, I began to research – it is, after all, what I do best.
I picked possibly the worst time of my work-year to start Whole30. Week 2 I would be in the office with boxed lunches and dinners provided all week, and then weeks 3 and 4 I would be traveling. We would be working 14-18 hour days with breakfast, lunch, and dinner catered for 14 days straight. Even worse, I wasn’t the one in charge of planning the meals anymore! So, I went to Target, bought a cooler and some ice packs, and I carried my food with me every day for the entire trip. Airports and all.
I did it. I completed all 30 days. Some nights I was even skipping to the cars when everyone else on our crew was exhausted and sick and tired of my optimism. I think I basically pranced around the photo shoots for 14 days like Anna singing “For The First Time In Forever” in the movie Frozen.
In the end, it was a test of faith and friendship. My friends and family had jokes, but they had equal amounts of love and support. I learned that I don’t have to have a cookie (or three) when I have a bad day. I also learned that I am allergic to milk and legumes, and sensitive to gluten. But I will admit, after not having those things for 30 days, it wasn’t that hard to say goodbye. Plus, without these foods, my body had completely transformed. My skin was glowy and clear, I could sleep through the night, and my body became a lot leaner. I felt clean and motivated. It was worth it.
I had no idea that for more than 30 years I had been feeling miserable every day and just thought it was normal! I have incredible energy now and a new love of life. Whole30 changed everything. I have a passion for cooking and am starting to feel amazing in my own skin again. I’ve got my groove back and definitely feel like I’m on the road to finding my happy.
Now, when people ask about my new lifestyle, I respond to inquisitive minds the way Mel responded to me – I can eat all meat, fruits, vegetables, and nuts except peanuts. That is what I will provide with any recipes I post on this blog. Recipes with no dairy, legumes, or gluten, that will both satisfy you and make the non-believers in your life think they are eating something delicious (and maybe even a bit naughty). Because that’s all any of us really want anyway. 😉

piece of the lucrative T1 leased line service with a solution that
works at the T1 frame level which provides for transparent interoperability
with legacy PBXs.
"The success of the IPTubeQT1
product is the direct result of high quality customer feedback."
said Mark Doyle President. "The platform utilized by the IPTubeQT1,
which encompasses 15 years of networking and telecommunication expertise,
positions Engage as a Central Office solution provider."
The IPTubeoQT1 is available with one to four T1 interfaces and a
10/100 BaseT Full/Half Duplex Ethernet Interface. The T1 interfaces
have configurations that provide for independent protocol, compression,
packet sizing, buffering, clocking, framing, coding and channel
settings. The protocols supported are IPTube, CESoIP, and HDLCoIP.
Engage also manufactures the IPTubeQE1,
an E1 version. In transparent mode the E1 is able to interoperate
with the T1 tubes.

Proper and effective management of U.S. federal grants in the insular areas is a critical responsibility shared by both the insular areas and the Federal agencies providing grants. Recent designations of high risk grantee status of individual insular government departments and/or entire governments created an urgent need to address the issues causing the high risk designation. In an effort to improve accountability and grants management in the insular areas, the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) sponsored the “Federal Grants Programs Accountability and Audit Conference” June 14 – 16, 2007 in San Francisco, California. OIA felt that, collectively, the insular areas and federal agencies must find ways to better serve the beneficiaries of federal programs in the insular areas and build confidence on the part of taxpayers, legislators and agencies that federal dollars are spent wisely and in a manner that achieves their purposes and promotes accountability and transparency.
The 2017 GFOA Conference will be held from May 21 to 24, 2017, in Denver, CO.
The Executive Leadership Development Program will begin accepting applications in early 2018 for the Class of 2019.

Save Lowell High School
Good Luck to the group formed to save the current Lowell High School site and getting the signatures to get the question on the November ballot.
The fact well respected Atty. Michael Gallagher is chairman and other officers are NOT ALL Belvidere residents hopefully stops the silly notion that this issue is the City versus Belvidere. Many people throughout the City myself included based on cost and many on central location are opposed to moving the school to Cawley. In my view this has NEVER BEEN AN NIMBY ISSUE!!
MSBA Kicked backed Preferred Schematic
What I have found looking at MSBA projects that is hopeful to me, is that there is president for the MSBA to kick back the Preferred solution based on the number of people that have contacted them and possibly because of the school committee vote.
I found that they have done so in the past when there is concern by a community in a regional school. I haven’t found one for a city or found a split like I believe exist here in the city.
The MSBA in responding to the Minuteman School Issue stated they hoped things could be worked out.
To be clear, they also very clearly note that they do NOT REQUIRE A UNANIMOUS Vote to proceed.
A Question of Fairness I
I’ve been pretty clear about my concern for the budget of the School Dept. and the increase in cost. I’ve also been clear that School Committee members have very little input into hirings for Lowell Public Schools per the Ed Reform Act but they do have a say in contract negotiations.
Since I’m not yet a School Committee member, I’m trying to better understand the way the system is structured and I try to research and see what positions are covered under what contracts. While reviewing the different contracts I’ve found somethings that just don’t seem equal or fair.
The School Committee agreed to a new four (4) year Collective Bargaining Agreement with the UTL (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2020) which consisted of the following :
There is a union that hasn’t yet reached a contract agreement.
The LSAA union is made up of 190 members. The LSAA Union consist of Directors, Coordinators, Assistant Directors, Assistant Coordinators, Assistant Principals, LHS House Deans, Department Chairs, Specialists, Evaluation Team Chairpersons, School Psychologists, School Social Workers, Guidance Counselors and the School Attendance Officer and to date there is NO contract agreement with this group
I’ve heard that they are looking to receive exactly what the UTL and their associated groups received but the present School Committee isn’t willing to give them more than a 3 year deal and almost half (around 4.5-5%) of what the much larger UTL Union received.
It appears the School Committee is willing to go into the fact finding phrase of mediation with this union.
This is the same Union that The Department of Labor Relations in Boston has found probable cause to believe that the School Committee committed a violation of the Public Employee Collective Bargaining Law (Chapter 150E) over the parking location issue. The City and Union will go to a full Hearing on April 4, 2018 unless they able to resolve the case before then.
Maybe the Committee is trying to force the Union to resolve the labor charge by holding up the contract? That seems unfair and many of these positions, especially the Guidance Counselors, School Psychologists and School Social Workers supply much needed services.
The previous School Committee had to pay $800,000 when they let a grievance build up and refused to settle a contract. What is that old saying “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”
― Edmund Burke
A question of Fairness II
There are a handful of positions in the Lowell School Dept. that are NOT contracted or union positions. Among them – The Human Resources Department including the Human Resources Director ,Operations and Maintenance Director,Technology Dept. and maybe a few more.
They are treated like the “Ordinance” personal on the City side.
The one that stands out to me is the Director of Human Resources. It is as far has I can find, the only direct report to the Superintendent who doesn’t have a title of Asst. Supt. or have a contract. If this person is in fact the person who is responsible for handling all of the HR functions (job postings, evaluations, Cori checks, exit interviews, Insurance information ,retirements , unemployment information etc.) then in my view the position should have a contract. I believe that would be up to the Superintendent to present.
The HR Director at the Greater Lowell Tech has a contract that runs from July of this year through June 2020. The Tech has a lot smaller staff than the Lowell Public has but it shows the importance of the position.
Boston has an Asst. Supt. in that role while Worcester, Springfield, Fall River and Brockton have Directors and a few of them have contracts.
Since School Committee’s have no say into that position it is up to the Supt. to bring that forward if he chooses but based on the position (regardless of who is in it) I would support the creation of a contract, similarly structured in the same fashion has the Greater Lowell Tech. offers their HR Director. The title doesn’t have to change but a contract isn’t out of order for someone who is a direct report to the Superintendent.

When we think of hybrids we imagine extremely rare one-off specimens of an unlikely cross between two closely related species from the same genus. In most of theses cases the parents are pretty similar looking but this recently collected hybrid clownfish is a rare cross between a tomato clownfish Amphiprion frenatus and a maroon clownfish, Premnas biaculeatus. These two clownfish belonging to different genera look superficially similar but they have pretty different body shapes and very different mating behaviors.
If you’ve seen Julian Sprung’s reef fish hybridizing talk you’ll probably conclude like us that this fish is the result of accidental cross-fertilization. Like the accidental hybrids that frequently arose at ORA we believe this cross-generic clownfish hybrid was the result of pairs of maroon clownfish and tomato clownfish spawning in close proximity and around the same time so that the sperm of one parent drifted over to fertilize eggs in the nest of the other parent.
Although these tomato-maroon clownfish are sometimes seen as juveniles in shipments of reef fish from the Northern Philippines, this large adult collected by RVS Fishworld is a rare look at what those resulting hybrid fish look like. We’re not particularly huge fans of tomato or maroon clownfish but the large showy body and bright orange head of this individual is actually impressive, and could make for a super nice display animal in a fish aquarium.

Hawaii Considering a Proposal for Offshore Wind
Hawaii is considering a $1.6 billion plan by Denmark’s Alpha Wind Energy for 100 turbines totaling 408 megawatts in federal waters offshore of Oahu. The floating turbines would be placed off the northwest and southern coasts making it the U.S.’s first floating offshore wind farm. Hawaii recently hosted a meeting with all interested stakeholders in order to identify concerns and hear suggestions prior to considering the proposal.

The Phillies were eliminated from the playoffs after holding a 2-1 lead in the series, and then one of their star players fell to the ground in clear pain.
After the game, Ryan Howard spoke with Nate Mink of MLB.com about what happened. "I was trying to run, and I felt a pop. It felt like the whole thing was on fire. It felt like I was on a flat tire. I tried to get up, but couldn't go."
If this injury is as serious as it sounds, Howard may just miss all of 2012 according to NBC Sports.
As if Ryan Howard making the final out of the season for a second straight year wasn’t painful enough for Phillies fans, there’s a chance he could be sidelined when his five-year, $125 million extension kicks in next season.
Not many believed that Ryan Howard was worth the money when he signed this extension, including Dave Sheinin of the Washington Post.
The deal tethers the Phillies to a lumbering first baseman—at a staggering cost of $25 million annually (or a little less than one-fifth of its current payroll)—through his mid-30s, when players almost inevitably suffer significant declines in production. Such deals are how perennial champions turn themselves into bloated underachievers.
Sheinin is absolutely correct, and this injury makes the deal look even worse. Howard's contract won't end until he is 36 years old, and he is going to make $25 million sitting on the bench next year if this injury is as serious as initially believed.
Howard only hit .253 this year and has only hit better than .300 once in his career. He still had 33 home runs this year, and drove in 116 runs, but the simple fact of the matter is that Howard is not worth $125 million. He is without a doubt a great player, but this injury just reinforces that he is not worth the money.

Finding Land to Farm: Six Ways to Secure Farmland
The Leopold Center reports that Drake University's Agricultural Law Center has developed two new publications as part of its Sustainable Agricultural Land Tenure (SALT) project supported by the Leopold Center Policy Initiative. Landowners Helping New Farmers provides an overview of state programs designed to help landowners who want to rent to a beginning farmer, and considerations that landowners might want to include in those leases. A second publication, Rotational Grazing on Leased Land, discusses what factors should be considered when setting up a lease for land that will be rotationally grazed. Both publications are available in PDF on the Leopold Center’s Pubs & Papers page.

Two people, two places – in my home town
From far across the years she sang:
‘And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost.’
She sang those words so beautifully
in harmonies of blue and gold –
an old long-playing record, now for sale –
in Oxfam: Helen with the charcoal eyes –
who’s friends with all the waifs and strays –
she loves them – as if her family.
Together we look out at the first drops of rain;
Together we watch the umbrellas unfurl –
and then the streets dissolve –
The streets of evening mists.
In the cool aesthetic entrance to
the Art college – a dark-eyed girl
is waiting – in black leather army boots –
and a long black overcoat:
A work of art: ‘The girl in the long black coat’ –
an outsider, a creature from the underworld.
I gaze at her … and then:
Is that a glare – a deep-black glare – at me?
I was thinking of painting her portrait –
but dared not ask! So now, I’m wondering:
How many portraits are lost through fear?
Alone, I look outside: the sky is sharp and clear –
A bright blue moon is rising.
These lines were written a few days after watching the film, ‘Wild’ on the television.
The soundtrack to the film certainly helped me with the words.
The old long-playing record is ‘Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme‘ and the poets Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost appear in the beautiful song, ‘The Dangling Conversation‘.

More than a year ago I was hugely frustrated by being unable to use it due to a demand to log-in. Most of this area has no cellphone coverage at all so doing that was a non-starter unless home on wifi. I reverted to an older version then and have not changed since - so not sure what restrictions exactly are now included, hopefully it is more sophisticated. I know you can use the app acquire a code and unlock a small area if you know it is actually safe at low altitude for example.

The Grizzly Manifesto
Author: Jeff Gailus
Following in the Great Bears' footsteps from Yellowstone National Park through the Canadian Rockies to the Muskwa-Kechika wilderness, Jeff Gailus explores the unique biological and political circumstances that make it difficult for grizzly bears and people to share the same landscapes.
Shocking and compassionate, The Grizzly Manifesto provides an insightful look into the complex and sometimes insidious political machinations that will determine the fate of grizzly bears in the North American West.
Today, the front line in this centuries-old battle for survival has shifted to western Alberta and southern BC, where outdated mythologies, rapacious industrial development and disingenuous governments continue to push the Great Bear further into the mountains and toward a future that may not have room for them at all.
Thankfully, there is another kind of movement afoot. Hundreds of scientists and conservationists, along with thousands of citizens that value sustainable development and responsible government, work tirelessly to define a better future for the grizzly bear and all that it represents.
For reviews, please click here.
The book can be purchased at all major bookstores, as well as at amazon.ca.

Southampton’s proposed signing of Gaston Ramirez has been placed in doubt, after Bologna revealed they will not let the forward leave for less than €20million.
The Uruguayan international has this summer been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, whilst Serie A champions Juventus have also been credited with an interest. So it was something of a surprise to learn on Friday that the Saints, recently promoted to the Premier League, had won the race to sign the 21-year-old.
It had been reported that the St Mary’s club had been successful with an offer of almost £12million, which would see them smash their transfer record for the second time in recent weeks following the acquisition of Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez for £6million. As far as statements of intent go, then this is a huge one.
Ramirez told Corriere dello Sport of his excitement over making a move to the Premier League, being honest enough to admit the cash on offer is too tempting to refuse. He also claimed that an agreement had been reached between the two clubs, and spoke of his belief that Southampton can become a big club in the coming years.
Nigel Adkins, though, urged caution when talking about the transfer. Whilst hailing the ambition of chairman Nicola Cortese, the Saints manager was also quick to point out that until Ramirez had put his signature to a contract, he was refusing to take anything for granted. And as it turns out, his words appear to be wise.
Bologna president Albano Guaraldi has now hit back at the comments made by the player, and insists he will not let him leave the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara unless an offer of €20million (£15.8million) is received, a figure which falls short of what the Saints have bid.
“The offer we received has not been considered suitable,” Guaraldi told Sky Italia. “His agent has already reached an agreement with the English club, but we haven’t. Now the situation is static, we made our demands and will see what happens. I don’t understand why Gaston said those things. I won’t even get into the behaviour of his agent.
“I have always been clear: I’d let him go only for a suitable offer, which so far has not arrived. I maintained my consistency and refused the bid. I am irritated because one of my players spoke as if he were already at another club, when there still isn’t any agreement. I can understand his desire to make the move, but I do not share his timing and methods.”
Southampton must now decide whether to meet the price being asked of the Italians, or turn their attentions to other targets. So far this summer, Akins has signed Rodriguez, Nathaniel Clyne, Steven Davis, and Paulo Gazzaniga. The Saints begin their season with a daunting trip to the Etihad Stadium to face champions Manchester City.

A client of mine wants to have a referral program with his clients and wants to compensate those that give him new clients. I’m looking at a few solutions but thought I’d run it by you.
Hi LH –
My advice is always NEVER to provide incentives for referrals, especially money.
If someone isn’t willing to refer you because they love what you do, no incentive is going to make it happen.
A good referral program should be based on encouraging it, making it easy, and providing emotional rewards.
Hope that helps,

Hit Parade for Week 20
We're getting closer to the end, so what do you need to do to maintain dominance or grab it from your leaguemates? Scott White helps you get started with his Hit Parade for Week 20.
The Fantasy Baseball Hitting Planner is your guide to setting your lineup for the upcoming scoring period. Each week, we'll assess Fantasy-relevant hitters based on streaks, matchups, injuries and lineup changes and divide them into five categories: "no-brainers," "advisable starts," "shaky starts," "strictly AL/NL-only" and "don't bother."
These designations are designed to rate each player's Fantasy value for the current week only and have no bearing on his value for the season as a whole.
Any player dealing with injury will have the injury listed in parentheses after his name. His condition will most definitely influence his category designation for the week.
Any players not appearing on these lists are presumed to be below "don't bother" status and are obvious sits in Fantasy.
The information has been updated through Saturday, Aug. 11.
Kurt Suzuki's move to the Nationals has freed up the primary catcher spot for rookie Derek Norris, who had briefly been sent back to the minors due to a shortage of at-bats. Maybe now that he's playing more consistently he'll be able to hit more consistently. True, he's not exactly a stud in waiting, but he has more power than the average catcher, which makes him potentially relevant in two-catcher leagues.
Digging even deeper, Erik Kratz has been getting been getting the majority of the starts over Brian Schneider with Carlos Ruiz sidelined by plantar fasciitis. Expectations should be only so high for a 32-year-old minor-league journeyman, but Kratz's four homers in 41 at-bats so far show that the power he demonstrated throughout his minor-league career is halfway legit. NL-only owners should at least be aware of him.
Worth a second look: Jonathan Lucroy,
After making a name for himself in the weeks leading up to his broken hand in late May, Lucroy's numbers since returning -- particularly the .742 OPS -- have left a bit to be desired. This week could be exactly what he needs to get his season back on track, though. The Brewers face bottom feeders in five of their seven games, including three at Coors Field. And though the matchups against Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels might be kind of tough, both are left-handers, bringing the total number of lefties on tap to four. Lucroy has destroyed left-handed pitching to the tune of a 1.344 OPS this year. Now might be a time to take a flier on him in mixed leagues.
Approach with caution: Jesus Montero, Mariners
After disappointing for much of the season, Montero seems to be on the right track lately, batting .458 (11 for 24) over his last six games. But all six of those games have come on the road, where he's batting .320 with an .803 OPS on the year. You have to remember that, like all of the Mariners' young hitters, he's a different player at home, batting .214 with a .603 OPS. The Mariners are at home for all six of their games this week, so in leagues where each team starts only one catcher, you can probably do better than Montero.
No-brainers: Joe Mauer, Buster Posey, Yadier Molina, Carlos Santana, Miguel Montero, Brian McCann, Matt Wieters
Advisable starts: A.J. Pierzynski, Ryan Doumit, Jonathan Lucroy, Salvador Perez, Alex Avila
Shaky starts: Jesus Montero, Wilin Rosario, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Russell Martin, A.J. Ellis, Michael McKenry
Strictly AL/NL-only: John Buck, Ryan Lavarnway, John Jaso, Derek Norris, Kurt Suzuki, Chris Iannetta, Geovany Soto, Ramon Hernandez, Josh Thole, Erik Kratz
Don't bother: Jason Castro (knee), Devin Mesoraco, Nick Hundley, Steve Clevenger, Yan Gomes, Miguel Olivo, Rod Barajas, Martin Maldonado, Lou Marson, Ryan Hanigan, Chris Snyder, Mike Napoli (quadriceps), Carlos Ruiz (foot), J.P Arencibia (hand), Yasmani Grandal (oblique), Victor Martinez (knee)
Tyler Colvin is back to playing full time with Todd Helton sidelined for good with a torn labrum in his hip, and though he has slowed down lately, batting .203 (16 for 79) with no homers in his last 25 games, in weeks like this one, when he has seven games at home, he's still plenty relevant in mixed leagues. When he gets hot, he gets hot.
After initially looking like they'd be ready to return this week, David Ortiz (Achilles) and Joey Votto (knee) both suffered setbacks over the weekend. Votto actually needs a second surgery, so he'll definitely be out this week, if not next. Ortiz's situation is a little more up in the air, but considering he still feels pain when he runs straight forward, you probably shouldn't gamble on him outside of AL-only leagues. Besides, he's been out for close to a month now, so he'll probably need a rehab assignment before returning.
Worth a second look: Anthony Rizzo,
If you like what Rizzo has delivered so far since his arrival from Triple-A Iowa six weeks ago, you're going to love him this week. The Cubs don't have a single left-handed pitcher on tap, and like most young hitters, the left-handed-hitting Rizzo does most of his damage against opposite-handed pitchers, batting .353 with a .974 OPS against righties. And some of the ones he'll face this week -- including Armando Galarraga, Bud Norris, Bronson Arroyo and Mat Latos -- have a knack for giving up home runs.
Approach with caution: Justin Morneau, Twins
You have to love what Morneau is doing in the second half so far. He's batting .347 with four home runs and a .949 OPS and has even begun to deliver at Target Field, hitting two home runs during Twins' last homestand. So while I don't want to scare you away from a player whose value is clearly on the rise, first base is a deep enough position that Morneau might not be your best choice in a week he's facing high-strikeout pitchers Anibal Sanchez, Doug Fister and Max Scherzer at home before traveling to Seattle and the AL's most pitcher-friendly park for three games. Seems like the makings of an off week, doesn't it?
No-brainers: Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols, Mark Teixeira, Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Trumbo, Billy Butler, Adrian Gonzalez
Advisable starts: Paul Goldschmidt, Adam Dunn, Michael Morse, Corey Hart, Adam LaRoche, Joe Mauer, Buster Posey, Allen Craig, Freddie Freeman, Kevin Youkilis (arm), Anthony Rizzo, Carlos Santana
Shaky starts: Eric Hosmer, Justin Morneau, Ike Davis, Ryan Howard, Tyler Colvin, Daniel Murphy, Nick Swisher, Chris Davis, Michael Young, Kendrys Morales, Carlos Pena, Carlos Lee, Mark Reynolds, Chris Carter, Chris Johnson
Strictly AL/NL-only: David Ortiz (Achilles), Dustin Ackley, Todd Frazier, Garrett Jones, Mitch Moreland, Eric Chavez, Brandon Belt, Yonder Alonso, Brett Wallace, Jordan Pacheco, Wilson Betemit, Casey Kotchman, Jeff Keppinger, Mike Carp, John Mayberry, Michael Cuddyer (oblique)
Don't bother: Bryan LaHair, David Cooper, Brandon Moss, Casey McGehee, Yan Gomes, Ty Wigginton, Tyler Moore, James Loney, Juan Rivera, Matt Carpenter, Paul Konerko (concussion), Joey Votto (knee), Mike Napoli (quadriceps), Lance Berkman (knee), Adam Lind (back), Logan Morrison (knee), Lucas Duda, Matt Adams
Apart from Jason Kipnis' continued struggles and Dan Uggla's minor resurgence, the most exciting development at second base is Tyler Greene's move from St. Louis, where he wasn't getting regular at-bats even against lefties, to Houston, where anyone with any measure of offensive potential gets regular at-bats. Greene certainly has that, having demonstrated 20-20 potential during his climb up the minor-league ladder. He's eligible at both second base and shortstop, the two weakest positions in Fantasy, so if he ends up getting the at-bats that used to belong to Jed Lowrie, don't be surprised if he becomes relevant in mixed leagues. He's already worth a flier in NL-only formats.
Worth a second look: Gordon Beckham,
After about two months of ineptitude, Beckham has homered twice in his last five games, which wouldn't be such a big deal if his last power surge hadn't led to eight homers over a 31-game span. A week against the bottom-feeder Blue Jays and Royals rotations could catapult him to a full-fledged hot streak. It's a bit of a long shot, but second base is a weak enough position that a long shot might be your best shot.
Approach with caution: Dustin Ackley, Mariners
With 74 Head-to-Head points over the last four weeks, Ackley is the No. 9 second baseman in Fantasy during that stretch, so naturally, you might conclude he's rediscovered his form. And perhaps he has. But whatever momentum he gained during that stretch he's likely to lose with the Mariners' return home for six games this week. Ackley is batting .215 with a pathetic .592 OPS at home, and though his road numbers are pretty miserable in their own right, the homefield disadvantage is so prevalent throughout the Mariners' lineup that you can't realistically expect Ackley to emerge as the lone exception.
No-brainers: Robinson Cano, Ian Kinsler, Dustin Pedroia, Ben Zobrist, Brandon Phillips
Advisable starts: Chase Utley, Aaron Hill, Neil Walker, Jose Altuve, Dan Uggla, Rickie Weeks, Jason Kipnis (neck)
Shaky starts: Danny Espinosa, Daniel Murphy, Kyle Seager, Omar Infante, Gordon Beckham, Mike Aviles, Michael Young, Howard Kendrick, Dustin Ackley, Marco Scutaro, Jemile Weeks, Kelly Johnson (groin)
Strictly AL/NL-only: Ryan Roberts, Ruben Tejada, Everth Cabrera, Alexi Amarista, Darwin Barney, Ryan Theriot, Jeff Keppinger, Stephen Lombardozzi, Scott Moore, Mark Ellis, Chris Getz, Brandon Inge (shoulder), Daniel Descalso
Don't bother: Omar Quintanilla, Elliot Johnson, Sean Rodriguez, Maicer Izturis, Jordany Valdespin, Pedro Ciriaco, Jerry Hairston (hip), Jamey Carroll, Tyler Greene, Logan Forsythe, Skip Schumaker (wrist), Chris Nelson, Emilio Bonifacio (thumb)
|1.||White Sox||@TOR4, @KC3|
Pablo Sandoval, out since July 24 with a strained hamstring, began a rehab assignment Friday, which means he'll likely be back in the majors for the start of Fantasy Week 20 (Aug. 13-20). Of course, the Giants don't have the greatest matchups, so you might want to give him a week to find his footing if you can help it. Likewise, Trevor Plouffe, who began rehabbing his sprained thumb Saturday, is expected to return Monday. Of course, the risks with him are as much performance-related as health-related, so you're better off sitting him in mixed leagues, probably.
Josh Vitters, whose biggest claim to fame is being the third overall pick in the 2007 draft -- ahead of Matt Wieters, Madison Bumgarner and Jason Heyward, among others -- is up in the majors after an encouraging stint at Triple-A Iowa, where he hit .304 with 17 homers and an .869 OPS in 415 at-bats. Of course, he hasn't been getting everyday at-bats with the Cubs, so perhaps he's still earning their trust after disappointing in his previous two minor-league seasons. Given his early struggles as a professional, his upside is in question, so he's probably of greater interest to NL-only than long-term keeper owners right now.
Worth a second look: Kevin Youkilis,
Even though he's been a little banged up lately, having sat out Tuesday with a sore knee and Sunday with a sore forearm, Youkilis is having a strong month of August, batting .276 with a .400 on-base percentage and four home runs. His OPS -- both in terms of power and patience -- has improved by leaps and bounds since he came over from the Red Sox, enough that you should probably be starting him regardless of the matchups. Of course, having Carlos Villanueva, Henderson Alvarez, Ricky Romero, Aaron Laffey, Luis Mendoza, Bruce Chen and Jeremy Guthrie on the slate makes it that much easier this week.
Approach with caution: Michael Young, Rangers
No fancy splits or matchups here. I just worry that Young's recent 10-game hitting streak, during which he hit .357 (15 for 42), might cause some of his Fantasy owners to backslide. We finally got his starting percentage below 70, people. Let's not lose sight of our goal to eradicate him from every mixed-league lineup on the farthest corners of CBSSports.com. He had only two extra-base hits during the streak anyway. Big whoop.
No-brainers: Miguel Cabrera, David Wright, Adrian Beltre, Edwin Encarnacion, Ryan Zimmerman, Hanley Ramirez, Mark Trumbo
Advisable starts: Aramis Ramirez, Martin Prado, Evan Longoria, Kevin Youkilis (arm), David Freese, Chase Headley
Shaky starts: Pablo Sandoval (hamstring), Mike Moustakas, Chris Davis, Daniel Murphy, Kyle Seager, Michael Young, Pedro Alvarez, Chipper Jones, Mark Reynolds, Chris Johnson, Marco Scutaro, Mike Aviles, Todd Frazier, Trevor Plouffe (thumb)
Strictly AL/NL-only: Ryan Roberts, Wilson Betemit, Jordan Pacheco, Alberto Callaspo, Jeff Keppinger, Mike Olt, Stephen Lombardozzi, Eric Chavez, Brandon Inge (shoulder), Daniel Descalso, Josh Vitters, Luis Cruz
Don't bother: Casey McGehee, Scott Rolen (back), Maicer Izturis, Ryan Wheeler, Yan Gomes, Ty Wigginton, Sean Rodriguez, Jamey Carroll, Chris Nelson, Matt Carpenter, Jack Hannahan, Logan Forsythe, Jerry Hairston (hip), Juan Uribe, Willie Bloomquist (back), Jose Bautista (wrist), Alex Rodriguez (hand), Brett Lawrie (oblique), Emilio Bonifacio (thumb), Jed Lowrie (leg), Placido Polanco (back), Lonnie Chisenhall (wrist), Ian Stewart (wrist), Nolan Arenado, Eduardo Nunez
So much for the calm before the storm. We haven't even reached September yet, and the minors have already begun to spill into the majors, with Manny Machado and Jean Segura getting the call in the last week. Segura you can take or leave. He'll probably be less than elite in his prime but has enough extra-base pop and base-stealing ability that he could factor in deeper leagues. Machado, on the other hand, is as good as prospects get, but he's also just 20 years old and was hitting only .266 with a .789 OPS at Double-A Bowie. So far, he's off to a great start, but in time, the jump to the majors may prove to be a bit much for him. By bumping him to third base, the Orioles aren't even letting him play his natural position, which only adds to the pressure. Still, because he's eligible at such a weak position and has such a high ceiling, Machado is worth a flier in all leagues.
Worth a second look: Erick Aybar,
As much as I'd like to plug Josh Rutledge here for the second straight week, in the interest of spreading the wealth, I'll go a different route. At 48 percent, Aybar might be just as underowned as Rutledge, especially at the rate he's producing now. Yes, I know he just returned from the disabled list Monday, but in five games since returning, he's 9 for 20 with a home run. If you combine those numbers with the ones he was putting up before the foot injury, he's batting .345 (49 for 142) with five homers over his last 39 games. No, he's not the steals threat he used to be, but at shortstop, hot is hot.
Approach with caution: Rafael Furcal, Cardinals
Furcal, on the other hand, has been running on fumes over the last couple months, batting just .199 with a .508 OPS since the end of May. But at least he's still stealing bases, right? Check that: He has only four during that 55-game stretch. His matchups against the Diamondbacks and Pirates this week aren't the easiest in the world, but more than anything else, his six games at home figure to keep him down. This season, he's batting .233 there compared to .294 everywhere else.
No-brainers: Jose Reyes, Starlin Castro, Elvis Andrus, Hanley Ramirez, Jimmy Rollins, Asdrubal Cabrera
Advisable starts: Josh Rutledge, Derek Jeter, Alcides Escobar, J.J. Hardy, Erick Aybar
Shaky starts: Alexei Ramirez, Danny Espinosa, Stephen Drew, Rafael Furcal (back), Manny Machado, Marco Scutaro, Mike Aviles, Jhonny Peralta, Zack Cozart, Trevor Plouffe (thumb)
Strictly AL/NL-only: Yunel Escobar (elbow), Ruben Tejada, Everth Cabrera, Alexi Amarista, Jean Segura, Ryan Theriot, Cliff Pennington, Brian Dozier, Luis Cruz, Daniel Descalso
Don't bother: Omar Quintanilla, Maicer Izturis, Pedro Ciriaco, Elliot Johnson, Sean Rodriguez, Paul Janish, Jamey Carroll, Tyler Greene, Clint Barmes, Brandon Crawford, Brendan Ryan, Willie Bloomquist (back), Emilio Bonifacio (thumb), Ian Desmond (oblique), Troy Tulowitzki (groin), Jed Lowrie (leg), Dee Gordon (thumb), Andrelton Simmons (finger), Jason Bartlett (knee), Eduardo Nunez, Billy Hamilton
Continuing the theme of September call-ups arriving a month early, Brett Jackson is up for the Cubs, and, unlike third baseman Josh Vitters, he's playing every day. That's bad news for Bryan LaHair, who is now strictly a bench player. It's not the best news for Fantasy owners either considering Jackson had 158 strikeouts in only 407 at-bats at Triple-A Iowa. As you can imagine, he was hitting only .256 there, and that's in the Pacific Coast League, where numbers are usually inflated. Sure, he has power, speed, upside and all that, but you should expect his transition to the majors to be a bumpy one. So far, he has 11 strikeouts in 17 at-bats.
Andy Dirks is back after missing two months with an Achilles injury, and you might remember he was earning some looks as a sleeper before the injury, thanks to a high batting average. But since he's mostly sitting against lefties right now, he's not the most advisable play in mixed leagues.
Worth a second look: Justin Ruggiano,
Marlins and Carlos Gomez, Brewers
Ruggiano was one of the hottest pickups off the waiver wire this time a month ago, but over the last five weeks, he's only the 60th highest-scoring outfielder in Fantasy. And yet he's still batting .348 overall. Part of the problem is he no longer has much lineup support now that the Marlins have traded half their roster away, but part of the problem is he hasn't had many opportunities against left-handers lately, sitting out with a back injury when the Marlins faced three in a row last week. He does most of his damage against lefties, batting .439 with a 1.420 OPS compared to .299 and .843 against righties. The good news is he's healthy for the three lefties on tap this week, which, combined with the four games at Coors Field, should mean he'll be able to overcome the lack of lineup support. Like Ruggiano, Gomez has a series at Coors this week, but unlike Ruggiano, he's been plenty hot lately, batting .288 (19 for 66) with five homers and six steals over his last 18 games. He's already secured regular at-bats, but the four lefties on tap should only ensure he remains in the lineup this week. And the matchups against Jeff Francis, Tyler Chatwood, Drew Pomeranz, Vance Worley and Kyle Kendrick should ensure he remains productive in mixed leagues.
Approach with caution: Hunter Pence, Giants and B.J. Upton, Rays
Just when you thought Pence's transition to the Giants -- he's batting .149 (7 for 47) with his new team so far -- couldn't get any worse, he opens the week against the Nationals' studly trio of Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg before closing it with three games at the mother of all pitcher's parks in San Diego. Even when he was in a favorable environment in Philadelphia, he wasn't contributing consistently enough to retain must-start status, so he's certainly benchable now, at his lowest of lows. B.J. Upton, meanwhile, is coming off one of his best weeks of the season, but keep in mind he was facing the bottom-feeder Blue Jays and Twins rotations. This week, his matchups figure to a bit tougher against pitchers like Felix Hernandez, Dan Haren, Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Zack Greinke. If Upton's .241 batting average over the last four years tells you anything, it's that he's vulnerable to high-end pitching. That's not to say you should absolutely sit him this week, especially if you're trying to make up ground in steals, but the hot streak doesn't make him any less risky of a start.
No-brainers: Ryan Braun, Mike Trout, Matt Holliday, Andrew McCutchen, Matt Kemp, Josh Hamilton, Carlos Gonzalez, Curtis Granderson, Giancarlo Stanton, Adam Jones, Mark Trumbo, Melky Cabrera, Carlos Beltran, Shin-Soo Choo, Austin Jackson, Josh Willingham, Adrian Gonzalez

For Release in North America: March 2014
Release Number: 61PR14
Caterpillar has expanded its Heavy-Duty line of Class 8 work trucks with the introduction of the new Cat® CT681 Vocational Truck, a set-forward axle model designed for customers who prefer a longer wheelbase truck and for those who must comply with restrictive load limitations on bridges and roads. The CT681 joins the proven CT660, which has a set-back front axle, in the Caterpillar line of vocational trucks.
Unveiled at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014, the CT681 has been working in a variety of field testing applications since the third quarter of 2013. This extensive field follow program—the equivalent of more than three years of truck use—involves more than a dozen customers across North America. Applications include snow plow, concrete mixer, water truck, dump and super dump.
“Customers who are hauling heavy loads or working in extreme conditions truly appreciate the CT681’s rugged durability and styling,” said Dave Schmitz, Global On-Highway Truck Product Manager. “We designed it to work hard and last for years, even in the toughest applications.”
Featuring a 114-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC), the CT681 is powered by a Cat CT Series Vocational Truck Engine and is available with the Cat CX31 Automatic Transmission. An optional Front Frame Extension (FFE) along with a Front Engine PTO (FEPTO) makes it easy to mount attachments such as snow plows, hose reels, winches and hydraulic pumps. Mixer installation is also simplified, thanks to vertical tie-in plates mounted behind the cab.
The CT681 also shares many common features and components with the CT660, the first model in the Caterpillar vocational truck line, including a spacious, ergonomic cab designed to boost driver productivity and safety. Like all Cat products, it’s backed by bumper-to-bumper service at more than 400 Cat dealer locations in North America. Full production of the CT681 is expected in mid 2014.
More information about Cat vocational trucks is available at: www.drivecat.com

YOUR SAVANNAH PUPPY
The Savanah puppy like many other animals has to have a good understanding
of canine communication and interactive social skills to fulfil its purpose as a protective and loving animal.
It is obvious that a dog which is unable to socialise properly among large numbers of other dogs of both sexes, is not a good dog, Regardless of what the breed may be capable, or incapable of doing.
Carefully study the paper work, the breeder, puppies and their parents.
For the people living in Uganda, your puppy will be available for collection at the age of exactly 8 weeks. If you are an overseas buyer, we prefer sending a puppy a little older in order to be able to more easily handle the travelling experience. We normally ship overseas pups at the age of 10 weeks, which is the minimum age at which the airlines will accept them; this can also be done later if specifically required.
If you are in Uganda, it will be best for your puppy that you personally pick him up from our kennels, so he does not suffer too much additional travelling trauma from simultaneously being separated from his mother and siblings. If personal collection is not possible, we can arrange delivery directly to you at no cost. If you are an overseas buyer you will have your puppy air-freighted to the destination of your choice; he or she will travel in the appropriate container as defined by the airline and governmental authorities, and all freight charges, veterinary certification and other such costs will be to your account. But will offer free transport to our Airport.
Whether you are a local or overseas buyer, all of the paperwork relevant to your Savannah puppy will be sent to you under separate cover, this is your guarantee that the puppy you receive is the puppy which left our kennels.
QUALITY CATEGORIES OF PUPPIES AVAILABLE
A Quality Pup
All our puppies or dogs are sold as registered pups, their parents having been registered with East African Kennel club and the pups themselves being registered at the time of sale by our issuing official breeders' association birth certificates. However, prices charged for the pups vary according not only to the overall quality of their parents (and therefore of the pups) but also according to the quality of the individual puppy itself.
Most Savanah puppies are sold as breeding quality dogs, which means that they will meet the requirements of the Breeding Standard to such a degree that they may be registered as breeding dogs with any breeders' associations at the age of 12 months.
Furthermore, 20% of the pups in each litter are selected at the age of approximately 4 - 6 weeks as "pick of litter". This proportion will normally be one, or possibly two, pups out of a litter which exhibit outstandingly good characteristics in terms of the Breeding Standard.
Finally, it may occur that certain pups are sold as "Pet Quality" due to their possessing attributes which are regarded as being undesirable by the Breeding Standard. These are normally very minor things which are of no significance at all in terms of the dog itself, such as too much white colouration, pink pads or claws, blue eyes, improperly aligned teeth, wrongly shaped ears or feet, too long or slightly kinked hair, etc.
"Defects" of this nature do not of course affect the well-being of the dog in any way, and the dog itself is blissfully unaware of them. "Pet Quality" dogs are therefore just as much fun and just as good to the non-breeding owner as are their slightly more expensive brothers and sisters.

Instead of (yet another) New Year’s Resolution to eat less, exercise more, practice scales, or master second position (not gonna happen), I’ve made a commitment to play more chamber music. I recently had an experience that made me realize there’s a whole new world awaiting me, right inside my own home.
Some friends came over for an informal holiday meal. One of our guests happened to be a superb violinist by the name of Miroslav Hristov. He brought his violin and a book of Heifetz/Kreisler arrangements. My husband, previously unaware of this, agreed to sightread the accompaniments at the piano.
I wondered how violin selections would go over with our guests. It was an eclectic group, spanning four decades in terms of age and as many professions as there were people in the room: lawyer, preacher, psychologist, hotelier, school music administrator, librarian, etc. Most of these folks know that our parties end up around the piano with opera singer friends who can’t resist the opportunity to let off some vocal steam. But on this particular evening there were no singers in sight. Throwing an instrumentalist at this crowd was going to be a first.
When Miro began to play Gluck’s exquisite “Melody” (arr. Heifetz), you could not only hear a pin drop, you could see tears in the eyes of most of my friends. Miro moved on to the spirited “Danse espagnole” (De Falla/Kreisler), the gut-wrenching “Deep River” (arr. Heifetz), and the liltingly joyous “Beau Soir” (Debussy/Kreisler). My guests cheered, danced, and enjoyed every second of the music. My husband wrapped up the entertainment with solo pieces by Moszkowski and De Falla. I hadn’t seen him this happy in a long time… and he’s a professional musician who performs regularly. In fact, he said, “Nothing cleanses the musical soul of a professional musician like chamber music.”
It got me thinking. If people enjoyed this experience so much, why not put some effort into making it a more regular event? And while I love my regular string quartet rehearsals, rather than being confined to repertoire dictated by the makeup of a specific ensemble, how about a solo flute, unaccompanied violin, or even a string octet? Or what about having instrumentalists play another part, for example, give the violin line to the oboe? Sessions could be theme-based, with music, food, and wine drawn from the same geographic area. Alternatively, music could focus on the birth or death anniversary of a composer. Sessions could even revolve around a given musical form, such as the fugue, chaconne, or gigue.
As I ponder this resolution for 2018, here are a few questions I’ll consider when planning a chamber music event:
As we now begin 2018, here’s to more chamber music!

| Publication Date:||06/06/1996|
| Publication Type:||Notice|
| Fed Register #:||61:28824-28829|
| Title:||Safety Standards Fire Protection in Shipyard Employment|
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
29 CFR Part 1915
[Docket No. S-051]
Safety Standards Fire Protection in Shipyard Employment
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Form Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee to Develop a Proposal Rule on Fire Protection in Shipyard Employment.
SUMMARY: OSHA announces its intent to establish a Fire Protection in Shipyard Employment Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (the "Committee"), under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA), to negotiate issues associated with the development of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to regulate fire hazards in shipyard employment. The Committee will include representatives of the parties interested in, or affected by, the outcome of the proposed rule. OSHA also solicits interested parties to submit their nominations for membership or requests for representation, on the Committee.
DATES: OSHA must receive written comments and requests for membership or representation by July 8, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should state: OSHA Docket No. S-051 and should be sent, in quadruplicate, to the following address: OSHA Docket Office, Rm N-2625, 200 Constitution Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210; Telephone (202) 219-7894.
Requests or recommendations for membership or representation on the Committee should be sent to: OSHA, Office of Maritime Standards, Room N-3621, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. Phone (202) 219-7234, fax (202) 219-7477.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Cyr, Acting Director; OSHA, Office of Information and Consumer Affairs, Room N-3647, U.S. Department of Labor; 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.; Washington, D.C., 20210; Telephone: (202) 219-8151.
Fire protection in shipyard employment has been regulated by OSHA's general industry standards for fire protection, 29 CFR 1910.155 through 1910.165, Subpart L, and section (5)(a)(1), the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act, which requires each employer to, furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm.
The general industry standards primarily address landside shipyard operations. The general industry standards in Subpart L address: fire brigades; portable fire extinguishers; standpipe and hose systems; automatic sprinkler systems; fixed extinguishing systems; fire detection systems; and employee alarm systems.
Because no specific standards cover work performed on board vessels and vessel sections, OSHA has used the General Duty Clause of the Act to address fire safety hazards aboard vessels. When the General Duty Clause is used, the Agency must determine how it can be applied. In other words, OSHA must ascertain what the employer must do to protect his or her employees from the hazards of fire and how the Agency can make sure the employer is providing that protection. In these situations, OSHA typically relies upon standards promulgated by other branches of the Federal Government such as the Coast Guard, along with guidelines developed by professional associations such as the National Fire Protection Association, (NFPA), and the Marine Chemists Association, (MCA) that have, in effect, become industry practice, to set forth the hazards and feasible means of abatement. In an enforcement action, the Agency would cite the employer for a violation of section 5(a)(1) of the Act. To prove a violation of section 5(a)(1) OSHA must show, among other things that a serious hazard is recognized by the employer's industry or the employer and that there is a feasible and useful method for abating the hazard. Although OSHA's enforcement under the General Duty Clause has reduced the risk of fire on board vessels, some risk remains.
The Agency believes a standard promulgated under section 6(b) of the Act will more effectively reduce these risks. The OSH Act intends that OSHA issue occupational safety standards to make clear what is necessary to protect employees and to inform employers of their specific obligations. In addition, a standard is more protective of employees than an enforcement program based upon a general provision; consequently, greater reduction of risks are achieved. Third, because a standard would be much more specific than current requirements, employers and employees are given more guidance in carrying out the goal of protecting workers. Finally, use of the General Duty Clause imposes a heavy litigation burden on OSHA. For all these reasons, OSHA has concluded workers on board vessels need the protection of an OSHA standard on fire protection.
Extending application of the current general industry standards to all shipyard employment would not be appropriate for the following reasons. First, most of the provisions in the general industry standards have been in effect since 1980. They need to be reviewed and revised to take into account technological advances that could affect fire protection in shipyard employment. Secondly, shipyard employment encompasses many tasks and work sites that are unique to the maritime industry. Employers, labor representatives and professional and trade associations have repeatedly asked OSHA to allow all shipyard employment to be covered by the same standards. They point out that the work situations found within shipyard employment have more in common with each other than with those in general industry. They assert that the hazards and methods of controlling the hazards are similar throughout the shipyard. Finally, they say that because the work on land and aboard the vessels is located within the same area and performed by the same workforce, fire protection services are provided by the same in-yard/plant or out-of-yard fire crews to all areas of shipyard employment. They believe that allowing these crews to follow the same standard will enable them to be more effective in their prevention and response activities. OSHA agrees and has preliminarily concluded that a single new standard addressing fire hazards for all shipyard employment, on land and on board vessels, will provide the best protection for employees.
In 1991, the Shipyard Employment Standards Advisory Committee (SESAC) began work on regulating the hazard of fire for all shipyard employment. SESAC was formed to provide OSHA with guidance in revising, consolidating and modernizing the varying sets of regulation that were being applied in the shipyard industry into what would ultimately become a vertical standard for all shipyard employment. The SESAC Subcommittee on Fire Protection, after reviewing pertinent federal regulations and guidelines issued by professional associations, drafted a shipyard employment fire protection standard. The draft was adopted by SESAC and given to OSHA for its consideration. SESAC's draft, which combines the materials they reviewed and includes comments from the workgroup participants, sets forth many of the components necessary for a comprehensive fire protection standard. However, because not all of its provisions are written in regulatory language and because the provisions do not address all of the issues that need to be considered in an OSHA rulemaking, the draft cannot be proposed as it is written. However, OSHA has concluded that the SESAC draft is an excellent starting point for development of a fire protection standard for shipyard employment. OSHA anticipates it will be a key resource for participants in the rulemaking.
The Shipyard workgroup of the Maritime Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH) briefly discussed fire protection and negotiated rulemaking at their September 1995, meeting in New Orleans. Members urged OSHA to proceed with a fire protection standard; with some members suggesting the Shipyard workgroup take up fire protection issues if OSHA was unable to do a fire protection negotiated rulemaking.
OSHA has decided to use the negotiated rulemaking (Neg/Reg process to develop a proposed standard for fire protection covering all shipyard employment. The most important reason for using Neg/Reg is that the shipyard stakeholders from all sectors strongly support consensual rulemaking efforts like negotiated regulation. OSHA believes this process will be less adversarial than regular rulemaking and will result in a proposal that will effectively protect employees.
The negotiated rulemaking effort described in this Notice will be conducted in accordance with the Department of Labor's approved policy on negotiated rulemaking. For further detail about the Department's negotiated rulemaking policy, please consult the "Notice of Policy of Use of Negotiated Rulemaking Procedures by Agencies of the Department of Labor" published in the Federal Register on December 29, 1992 (57 FR 61925).
A. The Concept of Negotiated Rulemaking
Usually, OSHA develops a rulemaking proposal using staff and consultant resources. The concerns of affected parties are made known through various informal contacts, the circulation of a draft proposal to known affected parties for their informal comment, through advance notices of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register, or formal consultation with an advisory committee such as the Maritime Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH). After the notice of proposed rulemaking is published for comment, affected parties, including the Agency, submit arguments and data supporting their positions. All communications from affected parties are directed to the Agency. In general, there is not much communication among parties representing different interests, except during cross examination conducted at a rulemaking hearing.
Many times, effective regulations have resulted from such a process. However, as Congress noted in the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (5 U.S.C. 581) current rulemaking procedures may "discourage the affected parties from meeting and communicating with each other, and may cause parties with different interests to assume conflicting and antagonistic positions * * *" (Sec. 2(2)). Congress also stated that "adversarial rulemaking deprives the affected parties and the public of the benefits of face-to-face negotiations and cooperation in developing and reaching agreement on a rule. It also deprives them of the benefits of shared information, knowledge, expertise, and technical abilities possessed by the affected parties." (Sec. 2(3)).
Using negotiated rulemaking to develop the proposed rule is fundamentally different. Negotiated rulemaking is a process in which a proposed rule is developed by a committee composed of representatives of all those interests that will be significantly affected by the rule. Decisions are made by consensus, which generally require concurrence among the interests represented.
The process is started by the Agency's careful identification of all interests potentially affected by the rulemaking under consideration. To help in this identification process, the Agency publishes a notice in the Federal Register, such as this one, which identifies a preliminary list of interests and requests public comment on that list.
Following receipt of the comments, the Agency establishes an advisory committee representing these various interests to negotiate a consensus on the terms of a proposed rule. Representation on the committee may be direct, that is, each member represents a specific interest, or may be indirect, through coalitions of parties formed for this purpose. The Agency is a member of the committee representing the Federal government's own set of interests.
The negotiated rulemaking (Neg/Reg) advisory committee is chaired by a trained mediator, who facilitates the negotiation process. The role of this mediator, also called a facilitator, is to apply proven consensus building techniques to the OSHA advisory committee setting. The many functions that he or she will perform are discussed below.
Once a Neg/Reg advisory committee reaches consensus on the provisions of a proposed rule, the Agency, consistent with its legal obligations, uses such consensus as the basis of its proposed rule, to be published in the Federal Register. This provides the required public notice and allows for a public comment period. Other participants and other interested parties retain their rights to comment, participate in an informal hearing (if requested) and judicial review. OSHA anticipates, however, that the preproposal consensus agreed upon by this Committee will effectively narrow the issues in the subsequent rulemaking to only those which truly remain in controversy.
B. Selecting Subpart P as a Candidate for Negotiated Rulemaking
The Negotiated Rulemaking Act allows the agency to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee if it is determined that the use of the negotiated rulemaking procedure is in the public interest. As noted above in the Background part of this document, OSHA has made such a determination.
OSHA bases this determination, not only on the appropriateness of the subject to negotiated rulemaking and the support of affected parties, but also on its own prior experience with the negotiated rulemaking process. Even before the NRA was enacted, OSHA conducted negotiated rulemaking for its complex health standard for Methylenedianiline (MDA). This committee met seven times over a 10- month period (24 meeting days) and successfully negotiated standards for both general industry and construction. The final standards were ultimately based on the recommended proposed standards, and no litigation followed the standards' promulgation. In addition, OSHA's Steel Erection Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee is completing its work and is ready to propose a revised standard for steel erection in construction, 29 CFR part 1926, Subpart R.
Discussions held between OSHA staff and many interested parties lend further evidence that the elements necessary for a successful negotiated rulemaking on fire protection in shipyard employment exist. Moreover, the Agency believes that most of the selection criteria listed in the NRA (5 U.S.C. 563(a)) are met. There is a recognized need to promulgate fire protection requirements that would apply to all shipyard employment. Interests that will be affected by the new fire protection standard are known, as limited in number, and to a significant degree, are already organized in interest-based coalitions. Finally, parties representing significant interests have requested that OSHA begin negotiated rulemaking on subpart P. The need for a new standard is acknowledged by all known interests. The Agency believes that reaching consensus on work practices and specifications for fire protection in shipyard employment is highly promising. OSHA expects that all persons likely to be significantly affected by such a standard will negotiate in good faith.
C. Agency Commitment
In initiating this Neg/Reg process, OSHA is making a commitment on behalf of the Department of Labor that the Agency and all other participants within the Department will provide adequate resources to ensure timely and successful completion of the process. This commitment includes making the process a priority activity for all representatives, components, officials, and personnel of the Department who need to be involved the rulemaking, from the time of initiation until such time as a final rule is issued or the process is expressly terminated. Once the process has been initiated, all representatives, components, officials and personnel of the Department shall be expected to act in accordance with this commitment.
As provider of administrative support, OSHA will take steps to ensure that the negotiated rulemaking committee has the dedicated resources it requires to complete its work in a timely fashion. These include the provision or procurement of such support services as: properly equipped space adequate for public meetings and caucuses; logistical support and timely payment of participant travel and expenses where necessary, as provided for under the NRA: work processing, information dissemination, storage and other information handling services required by the committee; the service of a facilitator; and such additional statistical, economic, health, safety, legal, computing or other technical assistance as may be necessary.
OSHA, to the maximum extent possible consistent with the legal obligations of the Agency, will use the consensus of the Committee as the basis for the rule proposed by the Agency for public notice and comment. The Agency believes that by promulgating a standard for fire protection, it can limit or reduce the number of deaths and injuries to employees engaged in shipyard employment who are exposed to a significant risk of injury and death because of the lack of specific applicability of certain provisions in the general industry standards and because a large number of shipyard employees are not protected by any OSHA fire protection standards. The Agency, therefore, is committed to publishing a consensus proposal that is consistent with OSHA's legal mandates.
D. Negotiating Consensus
As discussed above, the negotiated rulemaking process is fundamentally different from the usual development process for OSHA proposed rules. Negotiation allows all the parties to discuss possible approaches to various issues rather than only asking them to respond to details in an OSHA proposal. The negotiation process involves a mutual education of the parties by each other on the practical concerns about the impact of such approaches. Each committee member participates in resolving the interests and concerns of other members, rather than leaving it up to OSHA to bridge different points of view.
A key principle of negotiated rulemaking is that agreement is by consensus of all the interests. Thus, no one interest or group of interests is able to control the process. The NRA defines consensus as the unanimous concurrence among interests represented on a negotiated rulemaking committee, unless the committee itself unanimously agrees to use a different definition. In addition, experience has demonstrated that using a trained mediator to facilitate this process will assist all potential parties, including OSHA, to identify their real interests in the rule and so be able to reevaluate previously stated positions on issues involved in this rulemaking effort.
E. Some Key Issues for Negotiation
OSHA expects key issues to be addressed as part of these negotiations will include:
1. Scope and Application
Should Subpart P apply to all shipyard employment? How will standard affect out-of-yard/plant firefighters such as those employed by a municipal fire department?
2. Controls and Work Practices
What controls and work practices will provide adequate protection for employees? Should OSHA require hot work permits? Should OSHA require training for all fire fighters? Should OSHA incorporate U.S. Coast Guard regulations in this standard? Is there any difference in controls and work practices on landside vs. onboard vessels and vessel sections? Should OSHA require the employer to secure (deactivate) all fire fighting systems onboard vessels when they arrive in the yard?
3. Fire Brigades
Should OSHA require each shipyard to have an in-yard/plant fire brigade?
4. Written Fire Plans
Should OSHA require written fire plans for landside and onboard vessels? If so, what provisions need to be included in the plans? Should OSHA include a requirement for de-watering (removal of firefighting water from the vessel) of vessels when fighting a fire on board a vessel?
5. Technological Advances
What advances in fire technology have occurred since OSHA's general industry standards were promulgated? Which of these advances should be incorporated into the shipyard standard?
6. Costs of Fire Protection
What costs would be incurred by shipyards in meeting the various provisions of a new standard? Calculations should include costs of acquiring new equipment, instituting new engineering controls and work practices, and costs of training employees. Are there cost savings or other benefits that could be expected with the promulgation of identical rules for all of shipyard employment? If so, what would be the magnitude of savings?
Should OSHA include an appendix or appendices and, if so, should it (they) be mandatory?
II. Proposed Negotiation Procedures
The following proposed procedures and guidelines may be augmented as a result of comments received in response to this notice or during the negotiation process.
A. Committee Formation
This negotiated rulemaking Committee will be formed and operated in full compliance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee (FACA) in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA).
B. Interests Involved
The Agency intends to conduct negotiated rulemaking proceedings with particular attention to ensuring full and adequate representation of those interests that may be significantly affected by the proposed rule. Section 562 of the NRA defines the term "interest" as follows:
(5) "interest" means, with respect to an issue or matter multiple parties which have a similar point of view or which are likely to be affected in a similar manner.
The following interests have been tentatively identified as "significantly affected" by the matters that may be included in the proposed rule:
Labor organizations representing employees who perform fire protection work;
Fire fighters, both in yard/plant and municipal;
Government entities, particularly the Navy and the Coast Guard;
Professional associations; and
Manufacturers and suppliers of fire protection equipment.
One purpose of this document is to determine whether a standard regulating fire hazards in shipyard employment would significantly affect interests that are not listed above. OSHA invites comment and suggestions on this list of "significantly affected" interests.
In this regard, the Department of Labor recognizes that the regulatory actions it takes under its programs may at times affect various segments of society in different ways, and that this may in some cases produce unique "interests" in a proposed rule based on income, gender, or other factors. Particular attention will be given by the Department to ensure that any unique interests that have been identified in this regard, and that may be significantly affected by the proposed rule, are fully represented.
The negotiating group should not exceed 25 members, and 15 would be preferable. The Agency believes that more than 25 members would make it difficult to conduct effective negotiations.
OSHA is aware that there are many more potential participants, whether they are listed here or not, than there are membership slots on the Committee. The Agency does not believe, nor does the NRA contemplate, that each potentially affected group must participate directly in the negotiations; nevertheless, each affected interest can be adequately represented. In order to have a successfully negotiation, it is important for interested parties to identify and form coalitions that adequately represent significantly affected interests. These coalitions, in order to provide adequate representation must agree to support, both financially and technically, a member to the Committee whom they will choose to represent their "interest."
It is very important to recognize that interested parties who are not selected to membership on the Committee can make valuable contributions to this negotiated rulemaking effort in any of several ways:
The person could request to be placed on the Committee mailing list, submitting written comments, as appropriate;
The person could attend the Committee meetings, which are open to the public, caucus with his or her interest's member on the Committee, or even address the Committee (usually allowed at the end of an issue's discussion or the end of the session, as time permits; or The person could assist in the work of a workgroup that might be established by the Committee.
Informal workgroups are usually established by an advisory committee to assist the Committee in "staffing" various technical matters, e.g., researching or preparing summaries of the technical literature or comments on particular matters such as economic issues before the Committee so as to facilitate Committee deliberations. They might also assist in estimating costs and drafting regulatory text on issues associated with the analysis of the affordability and benefits addressed, and formulating drafts of the various provisions and their justification previously developed by the committee. Given their staffing function, workgroups usually consist of participants who have expertise or particular interest in the technical matter(s) being studied.
Becuase it recognizes the importance of this staffing work for the Committee, OSHA will provide appropriate technical expertise for such workgroups.
Requests for appointment to membership on the Committee are solicited. Members can be individuals or organizations. If the effort is to be fruitful, participants should be able to fully and adequately represent the viewpoints of their respective interests. Those who wish to be appointed as members of the Committee should submit a request to OSHA, in accordance with the Public Participation part of this document.
The following list includes those who have been tentatively identified by OSHA as being either a potential member of the Committee, or a potential member of a coalition that would in turn nominate a candidate to represent one of the significantly affected interests listed above:
Labor organizations representing employees who perform fire protection work;
Fire fighters, both in yard/plant and municipal;
Government entities, particularly the Navy and the Coast Guard;
Professional associations; and
Manufacturers and suppliers of fire protection equipment.
This list of potential parties is not presented as a complete or exclusive list from which committee members will be selected, nor does inclusion on the list of potential parties mean that a party on the list has agreed to participate as a member of the Committee or as a member of a coalition. The list merely indicates parties that OSHA has tentatively identified as representing significantly affected interests in the outcome of the subpart P negotiated rulemaking. This document gives notice of this process to other potential participants and affords them the opportunity to request representation in the negotiations. The procedure for requesting such representation is set out under the Public Participation part of this document, below. In addition, comments and suggestions on this tentative list are invited.
D. Good Faith Negotiation
Committee members should be willing to negotiate in good faith and have the authority to do so. The first step is to ensure that each member has good communications with his or her constituencies. An intra-interest network of communication should be established to bring information from the support organization to the member at the table, and to take information from the table back to the support organization. Second, each organization or coalition should, therefore, designate as its representative an official with credibility and authority to insure that needed information is provided and decisions are made in a timely fashion. Negotiated rulemaking efforts can require a very significant contribution of time by the appointed members that must be sustained for up to a year. Other qualities that can be very helpful are negotiating experience and skills, and sufficient technical knowledge to participate in substantive negotiations.
Certain concepts are central to negotiating in good faith. One is the willingness to bring all issues to the bargaining table in an attempt to reach a consensus, instead of keeping key issues in reserve. The second is a willingness to keep the issues at the table and not take them to other forums. Finally, good faith includes a willingness to move away from the type of positions usually taken in a more traditional rulemaking process, and instead explore openly with other parties all ideas that may emerge from the discussions of the Committee.
This individual will not be involved with the substantive development of the standard. Rather, the facilitator's role generally includes:
* Chairing the meetings of the committee in an impartial manner;
* Impartially assisting the members of the Committee in conducting discussions and negotiations;
* Performing the duties of the Designated Federal Official under FACA; and
* Acting as disclosure officer for Committee records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
F. OSHA Representative
The OSHA representative will be a full and active participant in the consensus building negotiations. The representative will meet regularly with various senior OSHA officials, briefing them on the negotiations and receiving their suggestions and advice, in order to effectively represent the Agency's views regarding the issues before the Committee. OSHA's representative will also ensure that the entire spectrum of governmental interests affected by the subpart P rulemaking, including the office of Management and Budget and other Departmental offices, is kept informed of the negotiations and encouraged to make their concerns known in a timely fashion. OSHA's representative will also communicate with MACOSH on a regular basis, informing it of the status and content of the negotiations.
In addition, the OSHA representative will present the negotiators with the accumulated record evidence gathered on issue-by-issue basis for their consideration. (The Committee may also consult OSHA's representative with regard to the Agency's regulatory needs, appropriate boundaries of consideration, or technical information. Such information could include the areas of technological feasibility and economic concerns, including direct and indirect costs of compliance). The OSHA representative, together with the facilitator, will also be responsible for coordinating the administrative and committee support functions to be performed by OSHA's support team.
G. Committee Notice
After evaluating the comments on this announcement and the requests for representation, OSHA will issue a notice that will announce the establishment of the Committee and its membership, unless after reviewing the comments, it is determined that such an action is inappropriate. The negotiation process will begin once the Committee membership roster is published in the Federal Register.
H. Tentative Schedule
Included in the notice establishing the Committee will be a proposed schedule of the meetings. The first meeting will focus largely on procedural matters, including the proposed ground rules. These will include agreement on dates, times, and locations of future meetings, and identification and determination of how best to address principal issues for resolution.
I. Record of Meetings
In accordance with FACA's requirements, the facilitator will keep minutes and a record of all Committee meetings. This record will be placed in the public docket No. S-051 for this rulemaking. Committee meetings will be announced in the Federal Register and will generally be open to the public.
J. Agency Action
As noted above, the Agency intends to use the Committee's consensus as the basis for the NPRM. OSHA expects to issue the proposed rule developed by the Committee, unless the consensus is inconsistent with OSHA's statutory authority or is not appropriately justified. In that event, the Agency will explain the reason for its decision.
K. Committee Procedures
Under the general guidance and direction of the facilitator, and subject to any applicable legal requirements, appropriate detailed procedures for committee meetings will be established. Committee members will be presented with proposed ground rules and agendas prior to the first meeting.
III. Public Participation
Since this will be a negotiated rulemaking, there are many opportunities for an individual who is interested in the outcome of the rule to participate. As a first step in response to this notice of intent to negotiate, OSHA recommends that potential participants study the two lists contained in this notice: the lists of significantly affected interests and the lists of potential participants. After analyzing for completeness or over or under-inclusiveness, parties should examine the lists for the purpose of coalition building. Potential parties should try to identify others, whether on the lists or not, who share a similar viewpoint and who be affected in a similar way by the rule. Communication with these parties of similar interest should follow, and the organization of coalitions to support the interest should begin. It is only after the formation of these coalitions and extensive intra-constituency discussion that decisions should be made as to which individuals should represent the interest and in which capacity. As indicated above, an interested party may participate in a variety of ways such as being a committee member, working within the coalition (promoting communication, providing expert support in a workgroup or otherwise, helping to develop internal ranges of acceptable alternatives, etc.), attending committee meetings in order to caucus with the interest's member of address the Committee at the appropriate times, or submitting written comments or materials.
Persons who will be significantly affected by the subpart P rulemaking, whether or not listed above in this document, may apply for or nominate another person for membership on the Committee to represent such interests. Such requests should be submitted, in quadruplicate, to OSHA Docket Office, Rm N-2625, 200 Constitution Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C., 20210; Telephone (202) 219-7894, no later than July 8, 1996. OSHA notes that the NRA addresses the concerns of potential members for whom the expenses of participation may not be affordable (See 5 U.S.C. 568 (c)). Each application or nomination shall include:
(1) The name of the applicant or nominee and a description of the interest such person shall represent;
(2) Evidence that the applicant or nominee is authorized to represent parties having the shared interest the person proposes to represent; and
(3) A written commitment that the applicant or nominee shall actively participate in good faith in the development of the rule under consideration.
All other written comments, including comments on the appropriateness of using negotiated rulemaking to develop a proposed rule to revise the existing safety provisions in 29 CFR Part 1915 subpart P, should be directed to Docket No. S-051, and sent in quadruplicate to the following address: OSHA Docket Office, U.S. Department of Labor, Rm. N-2625, 200 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210; Telephone (202) 219-7894.
This document was prepared under the direction of Joseph A. Dear, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, pursuant to section 3 of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990, 104 Stat. 4969, Title 5 U.S.C. 561 et seq.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of May, 1996.
Joseph A. Dear,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.

Flash Industry Chaos
by Woody Hutsell, http://www.appICU.com
I’ve been watching the flash storage industry evolve since essentially its beginnings. A lot has changed in not so many years. Lately, though, I’ve seen some developments that suggest parts of the flash storage industry are in a period of rapid change, even chaos. And at the same time I’ve seen some clarity settle on the industry space closest to home.
In the last month, I visited two of the biggest shows for the enterprise flash market: Flash Memory Summit and VMworld. One of the things I like about going to these shows is keeping up with old friends, former co-workers, partners, analysts, and customers. I am used to seeing my colleagues in the industry move between companies (as I have done), but this year has really redefined the industry. The segment of the industry with the highest level of change is PCI flash. Last year set a prelude for changes in the server-based flash world with a few smaller deals like Virident selling to WD/HGST and Toshiba buying OCZ’s assets. This year, the two biggest players have changed hands, with both the LSI to Avago to Seagate and the Fusion-io to SanDisk deals closing.
From the perspective of its likelihood to disrupt the balance of power in the industry, the SanDisk acquisition of Fusion-io stands to make the biggest waves, or lead to the most chaos. Why do I think the SanDisk acquisition may lead to chaos? First, if SanDisk manages to retain the people that made Fusion-io special, SanDisk will gain a powerful new asset, but that isn’t easy. Buying a company for its strong engineering and sales talent means you must keep those people around. But, I have already seen a number of the excellent people at Fusion-io move on to other companies. Second, SanDisk now has the products and people necessary to sell directly to enterprise end users, even if the deals close through OEMs. They acquired a sales team that many competitors (think STEC, OCZ, Violin) tried to build but could not and were nearly bankrupted trying. But, this moves SanDisk perilously close to competing with its OEMs, which will create a fine line for them to walk, or fall from.
Another industry segment where chaos may be brewing is in VMware storage. At VMworld I saw a number of interesting new software defined storage solutions from VMware, plus a plethora of hyperconverged storage solutions like Nutanix. This part of the market has soaked up a lot of venture capital and it is apparent to me that the majority of the companies in this space will not make it. This year’s VMworld reminded me of previous Oracle World shows where you saw the small companies whose names you barely recognized buying the huge booth to try and capture some sliver of market attention. Almost inevitably, these companies crater rather than prosper. I think a really large booth when you are a small company with little revenue is the first evidence that you are on the path to irrelevance.
Finally, instead of rapid change and even chaos, I see one area within the flash storage industry that is gaining clarity – the all-flash array space. This industry category has reached its seventh birthday, if you consider that all-flash products were introduced to this space in 2007 by Texas Memory Systems. The recent round of Gartner Market Share and Magic Quadrant studies have confirmed what those in the industry realize – currently this is a three horse race, with IBM, EMC, and Pure Storage leading the industry in revenue and all three in the leadership quadrant. But it is clear to me that the other storage OEMs are gaining steam. Expect revenue from HDS, HP, and NetApp to increase on pace with industry growth. There continues to be a variety of small companies/start-ups that have missed out on the first wave of industry consolidation and are growing at a much smaller rate than the industry. For these companies, there is still a future if they can be acquired or grow into a profitable niche. It now takes much more as a startup (or established company) to enter and succeed in the AFA market than it took a year ago. The gap from the leaders to the followers in the AFA space continues to grow, and as that gap grows it becomes more important for clients to evaluate the long-term prospects of their flash array providers.

Who's in it?
Anna Faris, Chris Evans, Blythe Danner,Joel McHale, Sylar!!
What's it about?
What's Your Number sees Anna Faris decide post Marie Claire article reading that she will be alone forever because her 'number' is so far beyond the 'average'. She decides that one of her past 20 lovers must be the one & enlists the help of Chris Evans to track them down to find out. Based on the book 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak this is a lighthearted if in your face Rom-Com.
Anyone that’s seen Bridesmaids will watch the opening scenes of What’s Your Number & think ‘Ah here!’ I can only imagine that the makers of this film cringed when watching Bridesmaids opening scenes too. Frame for frame it’s a carbon copy.
The storyline for this film is a relatively new one, its not often Hollywood sees a lead female speak so openly & freely about her sexuality. If only we had a better female lead. This may be prejudice on my side but I just don’t see the attraction with Anna Faris as an actress. Her delivery of lines seems forced and her lip work is overdone to the point of being distracting. That being said when she played her previous roles as a vapid, clueless blonde she seemed perfectly cast. Too cruel?
All is not lost though; there are some genuine Laugh Out Loud moments here. The rest of the ensemble pull their weight beautifully, Gwynnie’s Mam, Blythe Danner, playing Aly’s Mam here is genius. As is Chris Evan’s role as Colin Shea, the horny, bad boy neighbour cum saviour. He is sharp, funny and very often gratuitously nekkid, which doesn’t hurt. Before any of you yell hypocrisy at me Anna also gives her assets a good airing on set. Something for everyone, eh?
|Nudeyness a GoGo!|
This film, while yet to be classified is easily a 16’s rating. For the nudity and the language or simply the premise alone. It is definitely worth a watch though for light entertainment, if, unlike me, you actually like Anna Faris or get why she was included here then you’ll love this.
Having just seen an interview with the lady herself about the film I realised she’s actually the Executive Producer of What’s Your Number, in the words of KT Tunstell ‘Suddenly I see’.
Vay Importanté: I'd like to thank the outstanding organising skillz & generosity of the Fabulous Kirstie over at Prudence for the chance to gawk at this early. Yay!

With Bernie Sanders the people’s choice for winner of the Democratic primary in terms of political organizing and campaign contributions, the powers-that-be in the DNC are putting out a call for establishment figures like Hillary Clinton or Michael Bloomberg to join the race. Not being ‘reported’ by the establishment press is that these same kingmakers 1) weighted the Democrat’s choice against Mr. Sander’s and towards Ms. Clinton in 2016 and lost and 2) chose Joe Biden as their ‘heavyweight’ candidate for 2020.
The idea, popular on the American left, that winning against Donald Trump is all that matters, runs up against the fact that these DNC kingmakers have a less than stellar track record when it comes to winning elections. Not only is Ms. Clinton one of the most enthusiastically despised people on the planet— more so than Donald Trump even after his impeachment was announced, but Michael Bloomberg was a Republican for the entirety of the wildly misguided American war against Iraq. Why isn’t he running as a Republican?

DJI releases camera-equipped Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter
DJI Innovations unveiled its GPS-enabled Phantom quadcopter less than a year ago, and since then it has become perhaps the go-to aerial platform for the GoPro HERO actioncam. In April, the company provided us with a sneak peek at the next model in the line, the Phantom 2 Vision. While there weren't many details available at the time, that's changed as of today, with the Vision's official commercial release. Among its new features are improved battery life, a video-stabilizing platform and most significant of all, an included HD video camera that allows for first-person-view via a mobile device.
The DJI-specific camera is slung underneath the aircraft, in the same place that the user-supplied GoPro would ordinarily sit. It's mounted in such a way that the only thing directly linking it to the quadcopter are four soft rubber plugs, as is the case with the third-party anti-vibration mounts currently available for the regular Phantom. This is definitely a welcome addition, as the so-called "Jell-O effect" (distorted video caused by motor/propeller vibrations) has been a problem with that model.
The 14-megapixel camera has a field of view of up to 140 degrees (depending on shooting mode), and records at a maximum resolution of 1080p/30fps, onto an included 4GB microSD card.
Using a custom app on a compatible iOS or Android device, users can not only view real-time output from that camera, but they can also tilt it up and down, start and stop recording, or capture stills. That app also lets them view flight parameters such as altitude, speed and remaining battery life, plus it makes it possible to instantly share images online.
As with the previous Phantom, the quadcopter itself is controlled using physical toggles on a dedicated control unit. A built-in brace holds a smartphone or iPod touch in place right above that unit, so users don't have to juggle both devices at once. An included Wi-Fi range extender, also attached to the controller, lets the Vision travel up to 300 meters (984 ft) away from its user without losing video contact.
The Vision's 5,200-mAh, 11.1-volt lithium-polymer battery reportedly allows for approximately 25 minutes of flight time per charge. This is a significant improvement over the previous Phantom, which manages 10 to 15 minutes. Additionally, the new battery in housed within a module that is said to slide easily in and out of the aircraft – the battery for the original Phantom requires cables to be plugged in and tucked out of the way.
The Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter can be purchased starting November 1st, at an official list price of US$1,199. If that price cools your enthusiasm a bit, you can always watch one of them in flight, in the video below.
Also, one of the aircraft is currently on its way to us – watch for an upcoming video review!

Gary Ralph Johnson was born on July 3rd, 1942 in Virginia, Minnesota. He spent his young adulthood in Hibbing, Minnesota working with his mother Emelyn, father Ralph, and three brothers Kip, Ron, and Terry helping to run the family’s floral business. Gary was a member of the National Ski Patrol in Minnesota for several years, he led extended canoe trips in the summers through the Boundary Waters of the Superior National Forest, and he would venture out to ice fish and hunt wild game with family and friends. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, History, and International Relations from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis and later served as a Sergeant with the 415th Medical Professional Service, United States Army Reserve.
Gary enjoyed 78 years of life and passed on January 22, 2021 due to complications from COVID-19. He is survived by his wife Anne Wood Johnson of Princeton, New Jersey, currently residing in Robbinsville, New Jersey. He and his wife met while working for the IBM corporation in Washington, D.C. He is also survived by three children and their families: son Christopher Whitney Johnson and wife Lisa, their two sons Ryan and Lucas of Lutherville, Maryland, daughter Katherine Anne Johnson and husband Chris of Denver, Colorado, and daughter Molly Elizabeth Keating and husband Tim of Collingswood, New Jersey.
As a husband, father, and grandfather, Gary provided for his family in his dedication throughout his career in human resources, by example in his unwavering integrity, as a family chef extraordinaire, and in his faith as a member of Nassau Presbyterian Church. He was known as the man who could fix anything, and had a grin and unmistakable laugh which brought joy to those around him. Gary cherished how the historic family beach house in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island is where family and friends gather to enjoy one another’s company; Gary could usually be found reading a book on the front porch or working on a project around the property. He also was an active member of the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club in Beach Haven, participating in many social events and as the only male member of the cooking club. Gary and his wife celebrated his Scandinavian heritage and hosted ten foreign exchange students over the years from Norway and Sweden who continue to be extended family members.
After twenty-five years raising their family in a home that Gary and Anne had built nestled in the woods of Princeton, New Jersey, they were fortunate to have found a caring and energetic neighborhood and community in Robbinsville, New Jersey where they have created and shared in many meaningful friendships.
Due to current circumstances related to the pandemic, a small private family memorial service is being held to honor Gary’s life on Saturday, January 30th, 2021 at Nassau Presbyterian Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to Arm In Arm at https://arminarm.org/. Arm In Arm is an organization that works to prevent hunger and homelessness and was founded by Nassau Presbyterian Church more than thirty years ago.

New Delhi/Bhopal, Feb. 9 (ANI): The onus is on Pakistan to continue to remain in denial mode or to take action against the perpetrators of 26/11 post the revelations made by one of the jailed accused David Coleman Headley, said defence experts on Tuesday.
Major General P.K Sehgal (retired) said that based on Headley’s revelation in the Mumbai special court with regard to the 26/11 terror attacks, Pakistan has two options – either to continue to be in denial mode, or take action against the perpetrators.
“His statements also corroborate what Kasab had indicated. Hence, the evidence is virtually clinching. Pakistan has only two options-continue to be on a denial mode, alternatively accept it and proceed against 26/11 perpetrators and handle as demanded by India, which will go a long way in bringing about a certain amount of cordiality in the proposed talks that are likely to take place between the foreign secretaries and the NSAs,” Serhgal told ANI.
He further stated that Headley’s statement would help India to nail Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari aka Abu Hamza aka Abu Jundal, the Indian national affiliated to the Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba, as there is evidence against him.
“It gives a very major opportunity to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government to use this evidence to marginalise the army and the ISI to the extent visible and possible,” he added.
Expressing similar sentiments, Major General S.R. Sinho (Retired) said, “There is evidence that 30 dossiers were earlier also provided regarding the Bombay blast to the Americans. Also, Hafiz Saeed is an international terrorist and prize has been declared by the Americans. But, Pakistan has been negating.”
Sinho alleged that Pakistan is producing insurgents by not taking timely action.
“Even in Lakhvi’s case also, it has been proved beyond doubts that he was also involved in the planning. But, the court in Pakistan has given a decision that his voice sample will not be given to India, because there is no clause in the Constitution or in their law. Pakistan is producing insurgence,” he said.
Sinho said Pakistan won’t take any action and India has to be prepared and draw a long-term strategy to deal with terrorist activities from across the border.
Deposing before a Mumbai court in connection with 26/11 Mumbai attacks that claimed 166 lives and left scores of people injured, Headley, named Major Ali and Major Iqbal of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Lashkar commander Sajid Mir as his contacts in Pakistan.
He admitted that he had met both Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) commander Hafeez Saeed and then operational commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi.
He told the court that Lashkar had planned to attack at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai.
Headley described Lashkar as “a militant organisation in Pakistan whose goal is to fight the Indian Army and assist the people of Kashmir.” Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi would give religious speeches and speak of ‘jihad,’ defined as “fight against enemies of Islam.” They, Headley said, treated India as their enemy.

On April 6, the Agreement on hedging currency risk between the German-Ukrainian Fund and the Reconstruction Credit Institut (KfW) was signed at the Ministry of Finance with the participation of Deputy Minister of Finance for European Integration Yuriy Butsa, executive director of the German-Ukrainian Fund (GUF) Oleg Strynzha and director of KfW Ukraine Lutz Horn-Haacke.
What is it about?
German-Ukrainian Fund provides loans for small and medium business (SMEs) through partner banks. Fund’s resources for the subsequent granting loans to banks are formed mainly by the long-term loans in euro from the government of Germany granted through KfW. German-Ukrainian Fund understands the need for banks and SMEs is in the hryvnia resources, and wants to provide them. But but in the course of converting of the attracted currency loans in hryvnia the Fund will be exposed to currency risks. The European Union, realizing the importance of stepping up lending to SMEs in Ukraine, has offered to undertake a part of currency risk of the German-Ukrainian Fund, in amount of 5.2 mln. euros, under its EU4Business initiative.
According to the signed agreement, the European Commission is ready to compensate the German-Ukrainian Fund through the KFW to 30% of losses arising from adverse changes in the hryvnia exchange rate against the euro on credit GUF programs amounting to 17 mln. euros. In this Agreement KFW acts as an agent of the European Commission on the implementation mechanism for hedging GUF.
Why is it important?
GUF programs are aimed to support the real-economy sector which is the development and employment motor of the world’s leading economies. They offer special loan terms favorable for micro, small and medium-sized business.
In April 2017 GUF starts lending under the new program. With the loan attracted through KfW from the Government of Germany in the amount of 10 mln. euro GUF will provide long-term resources to banks in hryvnia, which will stimulate SME lending. Such financing is extremely important for business development in Ukraine.
"What is very significant in this project is that we are combining the possibility to attract financing with the possibility to issue the loan in local currency. This will increase the interest from the market to this product. It’s very important next step and we create good basis to other international creditors to use new way to support our real-economy sector through providing resources in Ukrainian currency" - mentioned Deputy Minister Yuriy Butsa.
The German-Ukrainian Fund (GUF) is a non-commercial institution founded in 1996 by the National Bank of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine represented by the Ministry of Finance and by the German Credit Institution for Reconstruction (KfW). The purpose of the GUF is to enhance the competitiveness of Ukrainian micro, small and medium-sized businesses by providing them loans via selected partner banks for the increase of their working capital and investments. The GUF funds are managed by the state institution “Administration Office for International Financial Cooperation Projects” at the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.

Are you keen to try this McAloo Tikki? Now available in McDonald's Singapore all the way from India. When i WIKI McAloo Tikki, I got to know Aloo Tikki is a snack made out of Potatoes and Spice which originated from Northern India.
Guess what? I also found this in WIKI
"The McAloo tikki burger, a trademark of McDonald's served at McDonald's restaurants in India, UAE and other countries with large Indian populations, is not a true representation of the traditional food"
Now, Singapore has been recognized with Large Indian Population by McDonald's. When will McAloo Tikki be in Malaysia? Hmmm... maybe not cause Malaysia is truly Banglasia Not India... Muhahaha :p

If you are having a hard time choosing what interior home improvements to tackle, know that you are not alone. But if there is one thing you won’t regret doing is to consider improving your home value when choosing a project. Thankfully, there are lots of projects you can invest in that will help you achieve better home value.
You don’t necessarily need to indulge in expensive projects just to drastically change your home’s value, comfort, and aesthetics. Here are cheap but doable ways you can improve your interior while boosting its value at the same time.
Add Planstcapes Inside Your Home
With a well-landscaped home, you have a definite price advantage. According to reports, how much value your landscaping can add to your home can range between 5.5-12.7percent. Note that this does not only refer to your outdoor landscaping but your interior landscape as well.
One can never be short of reasons to add interior landscaping. For one, you get to enjoy improved aesthetics while improving the air quality inside your home. Plants are natural air filters, which means they help remove impurities inside the house and make it a healthier place to live in.
Studies show that being surrounded by nature is good for one’s physical and mental health. Plants also help absorb sound, which in turn helps in boosting our productivity and mood levels. Adding a few plants inside the house is good enough to bring your stress levels down.
There are lots of cheap indoor plants you can add inside your home. You can decorate them with decorative rocks and add premium topsoil to ensure plant longevity and health. You won’t have a hard time looking for supplies as many local suppliers are more than willing to deliver your landscape supply needs.
Update Your Home’s Lighting
A home needs to be well-lit to be considered safe. Lighting also helps improve a real estate’s aesthetics. This is the reason why outdoor lighting is a bit hit these days.
Homeowners would go strategically place numerous lighting around their home to improve their home’s curb appeal. But your outdoor lighting is not your only concern. You also need to make sure you get to improve your interior lighting to highlight the best parts of your home.
Your interior lighting upgrade can be as simple as switching to more eco-friendly lighting options. LEDs and CFLs work great in lighting up your home while enjoying energy savings. Remember that the more energy-efficient your home is, the more desirable and the higher the price it gets.
Consider adding additional lights in places that require more light. This includes underlighting on your kitchen cabinets, pendant lights on higher ceilings, and surface lights on your hallways. Don’t underestimate the power of Smart Lighting when improving the value of your home.
Add a Dash of Fresh Paint
Nothing can give a home an instant facelift than new paint color. But then, choosing the right colors can be tricky. When in doubt, choose neutral colors and keep yourself updated with the latest trends in house painting.
Experts have varying predictions as to what colors will dominate houses this year. You can choose between Vintage Blue, Chalky White, and Warm Apricot. Of course, you need to consider the style of your home and your furniture when choosing a color.
If you haven’t tried house painting, then it would be best to hire a pro instead. This way, you can be sure the paint job will be finished with fewer hassles and on time. You can avoid getting paint all over your belongings, waste money if you ever had to redo the project, or simply enjoy your freshly painted walls without lifting a finger.
Swap Your Hardware and Fixtures
The simple act of replacing your fixtures and hardware can instantly update the look and feel of your home. The best part is you won’t have to spend much just to remove and replace these things. You can easily find new hardware and fixtures that will match your style so you can give the house a modern touch.
If you are looking for a more classic look, go for bronze hardware and fixture. If you want a more modern or contemporary look, then you can try matte-type stainless steel or brushed nickel instead. Many would overlook this simple upgrade but you now know better than that.
Improving your home and boosting its value does not have to expensive. Sometimes, the right projects are enough to add more to a home’s value. Choose your projects well and you can achieve your goal if increasing the value of your property.

Survive Holiday Travel with Kids in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! by VTech Mom
Traveling with kids during the holidays - just the mere mention of that can make almost any parent want to abandon all travel plans and hunker down at home for the holidays. Winter weather, delayed flights, squirmy kids who just want to know, “Are we there yet???” every 5 minutes. And, that’s just the first hour!
While we can’t guarantee your holiday travels will be worry-free, we do have 5 quick tips to help ease your travel troubles!
1. Time your travel.
If your kiddos are still taking naps during the day, try to plan your travel time during their typical nap time, knowing that naptime may shift a bit due to the excitement of traveling. Also, select non-stop flights to avoid getting stuck in airports and, if you’re driving, avoid potential rush hour travel. There are few things worse than being stuck in traffic and hearing, “Umm…I have to go to the bathroom!” from the backseat.
When possible, pad your travel schedule with an extra day or two for unexpected bad weather, cancelled flights, or sick kids.
2. Take breaks.
During long car rides (and remember, “long” can be entirely different for a 2 year old), plan for breaks along the way. Stop at a playground to let the kids run off some energy and for you to stretch your legs as well! Skip eating a drive-thru lunch in the car, instead, pack a simple picnic lunch you can enjoy together at a park.
Also, take a break from listening to the radio or watching movies in the car and play a classic car game together. Kids will love playing “I Spy” or the “License Plate Game”.
3. Pack a “Survival” Bag.
Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or car, packing a bag with some essentials for kids can help keep travel fun for them and less stressful for you! Include some mess-free snacks, some favorite small toys or games, and an extra change of clothes for unexpected spills or accidents. Don’t forget to add any medications your child might need throughout your trip.
4. Comforts from home.
While traveling is undoubtedly stressful for parents, it can also add stress to the kids. Being taken out of their familiar environment or straying from their everyday schedule can cause them to worry. To help ease their minds, talk with them about where you will be staying and some of the plans for the trip. Also, pack along their favorite pillow or blanket from home to help give them a little “home away from home”.
5. Make them the map master!
“Are we there yet???” It’s the most dreaded question of any trip. This holiday, turn that dreaded question into a learning experience with the kids!
Print a map of your route for each of the kids with your start and end points clearly marked. Clip the each map to a clipboard and, with a crayon have the kids find different mile markers, cities or landmarks along the way. Not only is it a great opportunity to learn some map reading skills but, it allows them to see how far you’ve gone and how much further to go!
Whether your holiday travels have you heading across the country or just across town- you’ll find so many ways to create new memories with your family! Just take a deep breath…You’ve got this!

My workshop is located in the Attic of the house, only place available.
Its a small space 8’ x 12’.
My biggest hassle with this is trying to keep the pieces i make small enough to pass down through the opening 34” x 22” or putting the parts together once taken down.
There will also be the issue of keeping the stairs and landing clean of wood shaving and trying to keep the missus some way tolerant .
This is a work in progress.

Ausjazz blog went to the 2012 Australian Jazz Bell Awards on Thursday, May 3 and took the last train home:
It was as close to attending the Oscars as any in the Melbourne jazz glitterati would ever come, I suppose. There was even a red carpet, I think , though somehow word did not seem to have reached the paparazzi.
The “Bells”, named in honour of Australian pianist, composer and band leader Graeme Bell, does not exactly attract Oscars-style hype. On the day when $40,000 would be handed out to the winners of eight award categories in the sumptuous surroundings of the Plaza Ballroom at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre, the Bells website gave no hint of the time and place of proceedings. It merely listed the musicians in the running for what must be considered big money for our many improperly rewarded and hard working musicians.
Jazz Bell Awards Chairman Albert Dadon, who it must be acknowledged was responsible for securing the money and sponsors for the event and the awards, kept a low profile, but was it significant that the presiding politicians on the night were Victorian Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews and Labor Senator Stephen Conroy? There seemed to be a message in that.
Almost everything about the event went smoothly. It was a venue fit for a gathering of musicians, industry representatives, media and sponsors who do not often have a chance to frock up and imagine for a few hours that jazz is glamorous as well as damned hard work. And even food blogger Kenny Weir would have judged the cuisine as excellent.
Many faces at the tables were as mystifying to me as a mass of movie stars, or a gaggle of football WAGS at a Brownlow count, but it was great to see a musician of the future, young Melvin, having a night out with his mum and some Bennetts Lane staff who enjoyed for once not being the ones pouring drinks.
The only disreputable behaviour, at least during the event, was attributable to a record label mogul — he shall remain nameless — who seemed to gather a head of steam every time there was an opportunity to climb on the bandwagon of a musician even remotely connected with his releases. Well done, Andrew.
Sadly Graeme Bell could not attend the Bells, but his pre-recorded message was warmly received.
The awards were announced between courses, beginning with the TarraWarra Best Australian Jazz Vocal Album, won by Kristin Berardi Meets The Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra. Fittingly, Berardi performed her Ode to Oli, with James Sherlock on guitar, soon after receiving the award.
Next up was Monash University Best Australian Jazz Ensemble,
won by the Andrea Keller Quartet. Eugene Ball received the award, Ian Whitehurst kept a low profile, and Joe Talia and Andrea Keller were not able to make it on the night.
Fish was not on the menu on the night, but some proud fish did feature when Peter Knight was awarded the Palace Cinemas Most Original Australian Jazz Album award for Fish Boast of Fishing. Knight thanked Allan Browne for introducing him to the poetry of E.E. Cummings, which inspired the album.
It was a case of one rather than one, two, three, four when the Bakini Restaurant Best Australian Contemporary Jazz Album went to the Nick Haywood Quartet for the album 1234.
The APRA/AMCOS Best Australian Jazz Song of the Year went to Luke Howard and Janos Bruneel for “Spir”, on the album Open Road. Neither could make it, but Bruneel will be in Melbourne for the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
It is always moving on awards nights when there is a chance to reflect on the contribution made by those who have died during the year. That was true again at this year’s Bells, though there was a lesson for us all in one unfortunate error. While the names of Ken James, Peter Boothman and Peter Jones appeared on two large screens, Tony Gould performed an improvisation on John Sangster’s Rivera Mountain from his Last will and testament album. It was heartfelt and appropriate.
Later it became apparent that reports of Peter Jones’s death “posted on social media” that day were incorrect and that he was in intensive care. Social media are useful tools, but there is not always appropriate scrutiny to ensure accuracy. This mistake did not lessen the intent of the tribute.
The perfect segue brought a lively change, when Allan Browne won the Brand Partners Best Australian Traditional Jazz Album for his Collected Works Volume II: Fifty Years Of New Orleans Jazz, then forsook the podium for the stage to perform Gimme A Pigfoot by Bessie Smith on the Bell Awards stage, with his wife Margie Lou Dyer on vocals and Jo Stevenson on clarinet.
It was another tough ask for the judges — Albert Dadon, Aaron Searle, Adrian Jackson, Gerry Koster, Laurence Donohue-Greene, Martin Jackson, Michael Tortoni and Mike Nock — to pick between three finalists for the Fender Katsalidis Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year award. They chose Alex Boneham over Ken Allars and Sarah McKenzie.
Finally, it was time to induct a new member to the Gibson Guitars Graeme Bell Hall of Fame. It was Brian Brown, who has released 10 LPs, 18 CDs and in 1993 was awarded the Order of Australia for services to the performing arts as a jazz performer, educator and composer. Unfortunately Brown was not able to be at the Bells to play, but his wife Ros McMillan accepted the honour on his behalf. Tony Gould played Brown’s 1976 composition Song for Billy Hyde.The ceremonies over, it was time for the musicians to pose for photographs and then to party on, presumably into the wee hours, possibly at the Gin Palace and possibly beyond.
The bonus of this Bell Awards, for all of us who get to enjoy what Australia’s hardworking and underpaid musicians create, is that the dollars that go with the awards will make a lot more music possible.
And a final mention of those that missed out: It may be small comfort, but, knowing some of the contenders, it probably was not by much.
As I climbed the red carpet back to reality, and the fact that my myki card was at home and the final train for the night was about to leave the station, I decided to improvise. Hurrying to the appropriate window, I bought one of those old cardboard things called tickets.

How do we achieve Well-being?
To achieve Well-being, we must be in balance, balance between our physical and mental selves. We feel this can best be achieved through a balanced daily regimen of massage and relaxation, exercise, and nutrition.
Why massage and relaxation?
Massage offers many physical and mental benefits that help us achieve Well-being:
- Massage relieves aching muscles and increases our freedom of movement which can help us achieve a more balanced posture. Better posture frees up energy for other things and releases tension, we feel better and more positive about ourselves.
- Massage increases circulation. Increased circulation speeds the flow of nutrients throughout the body and eliminates waste products that can make us feel tired or listless. Body tissues repair faster when our circulation is functioning at its peak.
- Massage boosts our immune system by relieving stress and increasing flow in our lymph system. This makes us less vulnerable to illness.
- On the mental side, massage relaxes and loosens tense muscles which aids in calming the nervous system. When we are calm we sleep better, feel more rested and alert. It may even help us make better decisions in our everyday life! Massage and relaxation can help prepare us for successfully dealing with the challenges we all have to face everyday

HOUSTON (July 29, 2009) – The Houston heat is not the only thing breaking records this summer. Enrollment for the Lone Star College System has been rising like mercury, especially at the Kingwood campus. With numbers approaching a 10 percent growth in students served, it has been a good summer for LSC-Kingwood and for community colleges in general.
A recent article called, “Can Community Colleges Save the U.S. Economy?” written by Laura Fitzpatrick and published in Time magazine, highlights the positive effect community colleges are having on this struggling economy. And Washington is paying attention. Calling them “one of the best tools the U.S. has to dig itself out of the current economic hole”, President Obama tapped two former community college officials for top posts in the Education Department. According to Time, Obama also announced a public relations campaign headed by Jill Biden, the Vice President's wife and a longtime community-college professor to raise awareness about the power of these schools to train new and laid-off workers.
Fitzpatrick’s article cites several factors unique to community colleges in contrast to their four-year counterparts that, as Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared, "will play a big role in getting America back on its feet again."
- Community Colleges are our nation's trade schools, training 59 percent of new nurses and offering other career programs for jobs requiring highly skilled workers.
- Community-college graduates earn up to 30 percent more than high school graduates, a boon that helps state and local governments reap a 16 percent return on every dollar they invest in community colleges.
- The 1,200 community colleges in the U.S. are especially suited to helping students adapt to a changing labor market, while four-year universities are by nature slow-moving. Community colleges, on the other hand, are smaller and able to adapt quickly. They often partner with local businesses and offer courses in response to industry needs, getting students in and out and ready to work — fast.
“LSC-Kingwood is helping to lead economic recovery in our area, providing workforce training and college transfer courses to students in record numbers,” said Dr. Rebecca Riley, Interim Vice President of Instruction and Student Success. “LSC-Kingwood has the capacity to fill the growing demand for higher education and the dedication to serve our community with timely and responsive programming. We look forward to a banner year!”
The nation’s burgeoning interest in community colleges has often been partnered with funding constraints and enrollment caps, but so far Lone Star College is lucky. LSC-Kingwood continues to offer open enrollment and low tuition, two factors very attractive to new job seekers.

You save for many years with the idea of living life to its fullest in retirement. When the time comes, it’s critical to have a plan in place for managing your money and keeping your debt in check. In the following slides, we’ll share the best tips for using credit cards in retirement. With these, you can take full advantage of this financial tool, without concerns about racking up too much debt.
Choose One Credit Card
Depending on your credit history and score, you may qualify for more than one credit card. However, the more of these you have in your wallet or purse, the more likely you are to abuse them or lose track of payments.
It’s best to choose one credit card that does everything well and stick with it throughout your retirement. That, or until you have a good reason for making a change.
Get Something in Return for Your Spending
If you’re going to use a credit card, you might as well get something in return. Travel reward and cashback credit cards are popular among consumers of all ages, including those in retirement. You earn points or cashback with every dollar you spend, allowing you to milk every possible benefit from your card.
For example, the Capital One Venture Rewards credit card is a top choice among retirees who enjoy traveling.
Know What’s Most Important to You
No two people are looking for the exact same thing from their credit card. Maybe you’re most interested in earning travel rewards. Maybe cashback gets you excited. Or perhaps you’re seeking a credit card with the best safety and security features.
Make a list of three to five must-have features, and keep these in mind as you compare multiple credit card offers. Doing so will help you narrow your options and make a confident decision.
Secure a Card with a Low, Fixed Interest Rate
Even if it’s your intention to never carry a balance, you may find it necessary at some point in the future. If you have a strong credit history and score, you’re likely to qualify for an industry competitive fixed interest rate.
A fixed-rate is preferred to a variable rate, as you never have to concern yourself with an increase. And that will give you peace of mind in your retirement years.
Don’t Shy Away from a Secured Credit Card
Do you have bad credit? Are you finding it difficult to obtain an unsecured credit card? A secured credit card may be the answer to your problem. With this, you make a cash deposit upfront that’s used as both collateral and your credit limit. For instance, if you make a deposit of $750, this acts as your credit limit.
And if you neglect to pay your bill, the credit card issuer has the legal right to keep your deposit. After responsibly using a secured credit card for six to twelve months, you can then apply for an unsecured card.
Know How Much You can Comfortably Spend Each Month
As you transition into retirement, your financial situation is sure to change. Rather than receive a steady paycheck from your employer, your income will come from other sources, such as Social Security, annuities, and retirement accounts. It’s critical to know how much you can comfortably afford to put on your credit card each month.
Without this number, overspending is likely. And if you do this for too long, you could find yourself running out of money – and that’s not a situation you want to deal with.
Take Advantage of Your Credit Card’s App
Today’s credit card companies make it easier than ever to track your spending, manage your account, and reach out for service. Using your credit card’s app is the best place to start, as it provides access to anything and everything related to your account.
American Express’s mobile app is consistently ranked best in class, thanks to its ease of use, streamlined navigation, and range of services. It only takes a minute or two to download and is a great convenience.
Make a List of Approved Credit Card Expenses
With access to a credit card, it’s easy to feel like you can buy whatever you want. This is particularly true since your bill isn’t due right away. Unfortunately, this approach can dig you a deep hole that’s hard to escape.
Avoid this by creating a list of approved credit card expenses, such as groceries, entertainment, clothing, and travel. Anything not included on the list should be purchased in another manner, such as with cash or a debit card.
Ask for a Credit Limit Increase Before You Retire
While not the case with everyone, most people experience a decrease in income during retirement. This makes it difficult to receive a credit limit increase. It’s best to request a limit increase before you retire, as your income is higher and your odds of approval is greater.
This way, you’re better prepared to make any major purchases that you don’t see coming in the foreseeable future. A 2018 poll conducted by CreditCards.com found there’s an 85% chance that you’ll be approved for a higher credit limit if you ask.
Pay Off Your Balance Every Month
Make a pact with yourself that you’ll pay off your credit card balance every month. For this to hold true, you must: know how much you can comfortably spend, manage your balance throughout the month, and set a payment reminder.
Remember, when you carry a balance you’re likely to pay money in interest (unless you have a card with an active zero percent introductory rate). Staying on top of your payments is important!
Use a Balance Transfer Credit Card to Get Organized
Organization is the name of the game when it comes to your finances in retirement. If you have more than one credit card and more than one balance, consolidate it with a balance transfer credit card. This has many benefits, including the ability to bring all your debt under one roof.
It also allows you to save money on interest, since you only have one balance. And best yet, most balance transfer credit cards have a zero percent introductory rate that lasts anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
Understand the Impact on Your Credit History and Score
There’s more to using a credit card than convenience. It has a profound impact on your credit history and score, and understanding this allows you to make more informed decisions. For example, if you continually use your credit card and pay your balance in full each month, it’ll result in a credit score increase (as long as you’re not doing anything else wrong).
Over time, the responsible use of a credit card will strengthen your credit history.
Don’t Max Out One Card and Apply for Another
You can always apply for another credit card, right? While this may be true to a certain extent, it’ll eventually catch up to you. A maxed-out credit card will drag down your credit score, while also making it difficult to secure loans in the future. Not to mention the fact that the minimum monthly payment will affect you.
Don’t get into the habit of maxing out one card with the idea of applying for another. This is a vicious cycle that will eventually result in big trouble.
Don’t Rely on Credit Cards to Fund Your Retirement
It’s okay to use credit cards in retirement. It’s not okay to use credit cards to fund your retirement. If you don’t have enough money to comfortably live in retirement, consider options such as withdrawing more money from your retirement accounts, living a more frugal life until your Social Security benefits kick in, and/or taking on a part-time job.
You can only rely on credit cards to fund your retirement for so long.
Add Your Spouse to Your Account
Make life easier by obtaining a credit card for both you and your spouse. With two cards, you and your spouse can use it simultaneously. Also, when used responsibly, it allows both of you to reap the positive rewards on your credit history and score.
Tip: stay on the same page in regards to your spending, as you’re accessing the same credit limit. It’s important to have a conversation and agree on your credit card use off the bat to avoid miscommunications.
Watch for Fees
Credit card fees have a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it. So, if you’re applying for a new credit card, find one with fees that you’re comfortable paying. Are you okay with paying an annual fee of $100 or more? How about a paper statement fee? What about foreign transaction fees?
These can increase or be added over time, so it’s a good idea to open those emails from your credit card company when they announce changes and look for added fees.
Review Your Statement at the End of Every Month
Don’t simply pay your credit card bill when it arrives. Instead, review your statement with the following details in mind: total balance, number of purchases, and types of purchases. Also, review the bill for mistakes, such as purchases you didn’t make or an overcharge by a retailer.
It’s easier to catch the mistake and get it resolved right away then have to go back and dispute an old charge. Manage your credit card bills when your spending is fresh on your mind.
Credit Card Safety and Security Comes First
Safety and security features give you peace of mind. While all modern credit cards are packed full of safety and security features, some go the extra mile. The Bank of America Travel Rewards credit card is known for its online security, while the Wells Fargo Cash Wise Visa credit card is the king of fraud protection.
Before opening a credit card account, have a clear idea of the security features that will protect you and your money.
Put it Away if it Gets You in Trouble
Let’s face it: credit cards aren’t for everyone. If you find yourself abusing the power, put your card away for the time being. Take this time to review what went wrong, how to adjust your approach in the future, and whether there’s another financial tool that makes more sense.
Credit cards are powerful, both in a positive and negative manner. It’s your job to harness the good, while avoiding the bad.
Talk to Your Financial Advisor
If you have concerns about using a credit card in retirement, ask your financial advisor for advice and guidance. They can help you create a plan for not only using a credit card but doing so in a manner that improves your finances.
It never hurts to get the opinion of a qualified and trusted advisor. This can help put your mind at ease, and that’s just what you need as your financial situation changes in retirement.

Don't know how you would define a crush. Is it stalking them, doing things to them, and then burying them at 3am?
I think its basically just a chic you want to bang more than other chics. You follow them around the supermarket trying to get a view of some side boob or something.

Fructositis is a term that has been used to describe a set of symptoms including episodes of repeated dry cough not associated with a cold or flu that often lasts through the night; mucus hypersecretion of the airways; chronic bronchitis; asthma; and other pro-inflammatory symptoms that are triggered by consumption of a high fructose diet and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The condition is often associated with gas and abdominal discomfort. Anecdotal and case report evidence link a high fructose diet and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumption to incidence of chronic bronchitis and asthma. The condition is thought to be associated with fructose malabsorption. While a high fructose diet has been scientifically linked to diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity, the link between consumption of HFCS, and incidence of asthma and potentially other auto-immunereactivity remains medically unrecognized and unresearched. The recent CDC report linking soda intake with asthma is a first step towards greater awareness and future research.
- Raise awareness in the medical community, schools and communities about the disease and its sufferers
- Raise funding for research to learn more about the disease and how to diagnose it
- Establish a forum to share up-to-date facts and information about the disease
- Promote the need for food labels that contain details of fructose and excess free fructose levels.
- Promote the need for HFCS-free food labeling.
The inability to adequately absorb fructose is a medically recognized disease known as Fructose Malabsorption. Research indicates that it affects 10 - 30% or more of average adults, particularly when fructose is consumed in relatively higher proportion to glucose as occurs in high fructose corn syrup. Limited research has been done to establish the precise prevalence of fructose malabsorption in children, though limited testing shows them to be at higher risk. Data currently available suggests that more than 40% of children improperly digest fructose, and rates of malabsorption are highest among children under 4 years of age. The root cause and scientific basis behind why some individuals are able to adequately absorb fructose whereas others cannot remains unknown. Summary findings of these studies published in 1993 and again in 2005 suggest that this condition potentially affects a high number of individuals, yet research into the root causes and other ill effects of fructose malabsorption remain stalled and unknown. Despite these reports, in 1996, the FDA reaffirmed HFCS as a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) food. HFCS per capita consumption is now estimated at just under a pound a week. This is down from its 1999 peak of over a pound a week. Recent reports by the industry estimate annual sales of $4 Billion.
When challenged with 1 gram of fructose per kg of body weight, 25 of 57 (44%) children ages 0.1 to 6 years showed incomplete absorption. In children aged 1-3 years, incomplete absorption was significantly higher.
When fructose malabsorbers ingest more of the high fructose sugar than their bodies can absorb, fructose concentrations increase in the digestive tract and may cause symptoms of abdominal and stomach pain, gas, bloating, and fatigue. According to the recently proposed fructositis disease hypothesis, in some individuals the increased fructose concentrations may lead to broader consequence. The unabsorbed and highly reactive fructose may participate in the formation of immunogenic biomolecules in the digestive tract known as dietary Fru-AGE. Once formed these biomolecules may gain access to the bloodstream. Chronic bronchitis and asthma are thought to result when Fru-AGE binds to receptors (RAGE) known to be highly concentrated in the lungs. These receptors have been implicated in inflammation; mucus hypersecretion of the airways; bronchial hyper-responsiveness; tissue damage; aberrant repair; and airway constriction, obstruction, and remodeling which can eventuate in compromised lung function. These receptors are present in other body tissues and have been found to be elevated in a number of auto-immune conditions. This gives rise to the possibility that this condition is associated with other idiopathic auto-immune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and others.
In 1970, sugar [sucrose] was the most available and used U.S. sweetener. Since then, the American diet silently shifted to include more HFCS and less sugar. This shift is significant both for the large percentages of fructose malabsorbers and for those with chronic respiratory disorders including asthma that may be attributable to fructositis disease.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), asthma prevalence increased among school children by 80 percent and among preschool children by 160 percent between the years of 1980 to 1994. In 2005, 8.9% of children in the United States had asthma. In 2007, 29% of children who had a food allergy also had asthma. A November 2007 report from the American Lung Association titled, Trends in Asthma Morbidity and Mortality, cites that an average of one out of every 10 school-aged child has asthma.
This trend has affected black children much more significantly than children of other races and ethnicities. In 2009, according to a May 2011 Vital Signs Report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, about 1 in 6 (17%) of non-hispanic black children had asthma, the highest rate among racial/ ethnic groups. They cite the greatest rise in asthma rates was among black children (almost 50% increase) from 2001 through 2009.
These dramatic increases are not without consequences as asthma is the third-ranking cause of hospitalization among children under 15. The current annual economic cost of asthma amounts to more than $56 billion annually.
This dramatic rise in asthma amongst children during the period from 1980 to 1994 that continues to present day, coincides with another trend occurring during this same time frame.
Between 1980 and 1994 asthma prevalence amongst preschool children climbed 160 percent.
It is a parallel trend not typically discussed in the context of rising rates of asthma. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) September 2008 report by Haley et al titled, Sugar and Sweeteners Outlook, the early 1980's also coincides with when the US food industry began a steady increase in their use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as the preferred sweetener.
According to the USDA, since 1985, the rise in sugar demand, although strong, has been moderate compared with the growth of corn sweeteners. In 1980, annual per capita consumption of HFCS was 16.9 pounds; by 1999 it had grown to 56.7 pounds. Thus by 1999 per capita consumption had grown by 235% from its 1980 levels. By 1999 Americans were consuming more than a pound per week of HFCS.
While the biochemical processes linking aero- allergens and asthma have been studied extensively and are well understood, the mechanisms that link food "allergy" to chronic bronchitis and asthma are poorly understood. Despite case report evidence linking episodes of chronic bronchitis and asthma to consumption of high fructose corn syrup, the disease remains medically unrecognized and unresearched.
Between 1980 and 1994, average HFCS consumption climbed 196% to nearly a pound per person per week.
These parallel trends when considered in the context of case report evidence linking consumption of a high fructose diet and HFCS to chronic bronchitis & asthma dictate that scientific research to study the disease is overdue. The potential gains from research in terms of improved health and reduced costs are high given the ubiquitous presence of HFCS in our food supply.
Laboratory based scientific research is needed to test the "fructositis hypothesis" and to begin to understand the mechanisms responsible for the auto-immune reactivity observed. Learn about our awareness campaigns and what you can do to help support our efforts to promote scientific research and develop a diagnostic tool.

Inflatable Rattlesnake Tunnel for Sharyland Blows Other Schools off the Field
Cheerleaders are great! And bands are very entertaining, but if you really want to hear the fans scream, bring out an inflatable rattlesnake. The students, fans and faculty have all been wildly excited about their new custom inflatable sports tunnel. Designed in the likeness of a rattlesnake (the school's mascot), this guy "blows all the other schools off the field!!!" brags Sharyland Project Organizer Chris Cardenas. "I actually felt guilty when we blew up our snake the first time, and then the other team did theirs. It looked so...uninspiring. Thank goodness I picked y'all!"
In addition to boosting spirit and increasing attendance at games, Sharyland High School also wanted to receive more press coverage. With a giant inflatable snake that blows smoke out of its mouth as players rush onto the field, it's almost a sure bet that the media will take notice.
Inflatable sports tunnels are also excellent for bringing in an extra stream of revenue. Sponsor banners can be created to include an advertiser's logo and message, then hung on the sports tunnel. Sponsors get the full attention of all those in attendance. That's exposure they're willing to pay a pretty penny for!

The article takes a close look at the values, attitudes, and lifestyle preferences of the meritocratic elite, i.e. students of prestigious universities like Princeton. They appear to busy themselves with a variety of educational and extra-curricular activities to the extent they do not have time to start relationships or pay attention to the national politics. Most of them are happy with their life, and they accept high workload for the reasons of self-improvement, resume-building, and enrichment. They are described as extraordinary bright, morally earnest, and incredibly industrious.
They are unlikely to challenge the authority or engage in protest movements. They are apologetic every time they voice an opinion different from that of their classmates; they hardly ever disagree with what their professors are saying. Achievement ethos and acceptance of prevailing order are characteristic of them. They do not want to change the rules of the game; they want to conform to them in order to win. America’s efficient and demanding sorting-out process made them construct their identities in such a way.
The origins of the so-called ‘organizational kid’ are to be found in their upbringing. Parent relied on the ac
hievements of medical and cognitive science to develop their children physically and intellectually.
In elementary school, today’s students faced considerably more complex curricula than previous generations. This was the reaction to the report ‘A Nation at Risk’ (1983) that argued that students in the early 1980s were following a ‘cafeteria curricula’ consisting of easy electives to a large extent. Since then, the central focus of the school reform was on testing, accountability, and order. Medical advances also played a role in the schooling of an organizational kid, as conduct disorders were responded by medications.
In terms of playtime, it became more organized, regulated, and supervised, with an emphasis on safety. As for adolescence, neo-romantics of the 1960s ad 1970s believed that children should grow up freely, left free to explore, and develop their own creative inclinations. Nowadays parents do not hesitate to impose their authority. Parental authority nowadays rests on three pillars: science, safety, and achievement. Most teenagers are content with such developments and attach great value to harmonious relations with their seniors.
Furthermore, college administrations tend to impose stricter regulations concerning students’ behavior. Yet students are increasingly supportive of universities’ regulation of private matters such as campus drinking.
Another factor that played a role in shaping an organizational kid is the decade of peace and prosperity they witnessed as children and teenagers. Their parents, the baby boomers, went great lengths to impose order and responsibility on their kid’s lives that they never experienced themselves.
Organizational kids have little generational consciousness; therefore they are very different from the previous generations. Yet they resemble the generation of students before World War I. However, the major difference is associated with the fact that modern college and family environment does nothing to build character or communicate values to the students. Happiness and success students of prestigious universities constantly experience prevents them from facing the ultimate challenge and receiving the ultimate reward.

Blog : Are DVLA closures making it worse for everyone?
For anyone who buys and sells cars with any degree of regularity, being able get your paperwork quickly and efficiently from the DVLA is vitally important. By and large, it has to be said that, from my own personal experience, getting logbooks (form V5C, above) or tax discs through the post has generally been a quick and painless process… until recently.
Due to a general decluttering of my life right now, I’m having one of my semi-regular purges of cars. What that means is that I’ve sold a couple in order to make sense of where I am right now – out has gone a 1999 Citroen Xantia and a 1986 Audi 100, both which have gone to satisfied new owners.
However, I’ve had neither car particularly long and I’m actually waiting for my logbooks to turn up. Both were signed over to me at least four weeks ago, with the paperwork all signed and sent off pretty much immediately. In the past, I’d have expected a new logbook to drop on to my door mat after about a week – and the world was a happier place.
Just recently, though, those short waits have gone – and I’m waiting longer and longer for the new paperwork to arrive. The problem is that, as you know, it’s difficult to sell a car on without a logbook, not least because it’s the seller who’s liable for any points or fines incurred by the new driver until the car’s paperwork has been signed over. These extended waiting times cause problems – after all, how can I sell a car without a logbook? Exactly…
So, the long and short of it is right now, that although both cars are sold, the new owners can’t really pick them up. Not with any degree of confidence…
I was hoping my cases might be isolated, but following a quick straw poll of people I know on Facebook, it’d seem that many of you out there are also suffering – if this trend is proving to be the case with an increasing number of people, then is the secondhand car market going to start grinding to a halt? I also hear that new registrations of cars that require SVA tests are also being delayed – not least because, to register these cars, DVLA can only accept cheques, not card payment of any sort.
When did you last write a cheque?
So, who’s to blame for this (assuming this is a situation, and my friends and I have not just been unlucky)? One has to assume that the closure of the DVLA local offices last year can’t have helped the situation. Where once upon a time, you traipsed to your local office, lined up in turn and spoke to an actual person face to face about whatever you needed sorting, now you can only call a centralised telephone line, or go via the internet.
Unfortunately, if you can’t solve an issue quickly online, or centrally, you’re goosed – often without a tax disc, logbook or any timeous solution. Clearly the DVLA needs to modernise or restaff, but the closure of the local offices happened so quickly, there simply wasn’t time to do so. So, the question is – how long will this situation continue? Is it temporary? Or could it go on? With the increasing use of ANPR to catch untaxed drivers, are people being forced off the road while the paperwork catches up?
We’ll see, but I sincerely hope not. One thing I would like, is to hear your experiences. I’d love to think mine are unusual – but I suspect not. Let me know your experiences, good or bad…

The artwork on this note card was created by 5768 WRJ Art Calendar artist Césan d’Ornellas Levine.
There are 35 URJ Communities across North America. Each congregation—regardless of size—is a member of a URJ Community. Your URJ Community is an important vehicle to connect congregations with others in your geographic area to share best practices, resources and create a network of URJ support for each other.
Each URJ Community is led by a local team of experienced lay leaders, working in partnership with URJ staff. These leaders build relationships among congregations, creating chances for them to convene with their peers.
We find that congregation leaders value the opportunity to network and to collaborate as well as the access to professional expertise.
