These changes are likely to be included in the TPP implementing legislation that the White House could submit for congressional approval later this year.
The NTE report covers the most important barriers, including those that may be consistent with international trade rules (e.g., very high tariffs), affecting U.S. exports to 58 countries, the European Union, Taiwan, Hong Kong and one regional body.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, has put together a plan that aims to resume the process of developing and enacting miscellaneous trade bills, which suspend duties on imported inputs and products for which there is no or insufficient domestic production and availability.
Regardless of the mandatory dates, CBP states that filers should be filing all available electronic entries and entry summaries, with or without participating government agency data, in ACE now.
A White House fact sheet notes that these measures aim to support the efforts of Argentinean President Mauricio Macri, who "has quickly implemented economic reforms to begin addressing economic imbalances and deepen Argentina's integration with the global economy" since he took office in December.
Industry believes that additional coordination and consultation with all affected trade stakeholders is needed for further development and implementation of the RAM system to ensure that legitimate commerce and entries of compliant products are not stopped or unnecessarily delayed during the CPSC's import screening process.
The temporary general license will restore, through June 30, the license requirements, license review policies and license exceptions under the EAR that applied prior to March 8 to exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to these two entities.
The rule appears to be an attempt to avoid the $472 million in sanctions Mexico is seeking WTO authorization to impose (in the form of higher duties on an as yet unidentified list of U.S. exports) after a WTO compliance panel found that U.S. dolphin-safe tuna labeling regulations revised in 2013 are still inconsistent with WTO rules.
The sanctions would take the form of additional tariffs on Mexican imports of U.S. goods, although the specific items to be targeted have not yet been identified.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on March 15 issued a fact sheet highlighting the many benefits that the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement continues to provide four years after it entered into force to American businesses, workers and farmers. By contrast, the Coalition for a Prosperous America claimed that the agreement has significantly worsened the bilateral trade deficit with Korea.
President Obama issued an executive order March 16 that implements the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 as well as a March 2 resolution by the United Nations Security Council that imposed new sanctions and tightened some existing measures against North Korea following its Jan. 6 nuclear test and a Feb. 7 launch seen as a test of ballistic missile technology.

Scrotal Lymphedema
What is lymphedema? Lymphedema occurs when there is infection or blockage of the normal drainage of lymphatic channels from an effected portion of the body. Patients develop swelling of the effected area that is painful and can lead to chronic infection of the tissue. Some common causes of lymphedema are radiation or surgical treatment of cancer. In other cases the lymphedema can arise without and known cause – this is referred to as idiopathic.
What happens when the scrotum is involved in lymphedema? Like involvement of a leg or arm the scrotum swells and in some cases the scrotum can reach an enormous size. The skin of the scrotum is doughy and filled with fluid and becomes thickened and chronically infected. This makes life very difficult for effected patients. Patients often become home bound and have chronic pain associated with the condition.
What can be done for this problem? Surgical management of this problem can work well to return a patients quality of life and restore urination and possibly sexual function. Surgery is done to remove all of the effected tissue and reconstruct the scrotum. In most cases there is enough normal tissue surrounding the scrotum that a scrotal type of appearance can be created. In severe cases of lymphedema of the scrotum, the foreskin of the penis is inverted and the penis is buried in the tissue of the scrotum. Sometimes the tissue of the penis has not been affected by the lymphedema and it can be preserved. In other cases the penile skin is also effected and scarred and needs to be removed. When the penile skin needs to be removed than in some cases a skin graft has to be applied to the penis. This will allow the full length of the penis to be brought out so that the problem with a buried penis is less likely to recur.
What about management of my abdominal fat? It is not totally clear why lymphedema occurs, but it is often in patients with a large belly. Sometimes there is a pannus (a roll of fat) that hangs over the penis and will tend to cause recurrence of the problem with engulfement or burying of the penis. It is best to remove this fat along with the surgery to correct the lymphedema if it is a problem. This surgery is called an abdominoplasty, or a pannicluectomy. Many patients refer to this as a "tummy tuck". It is done through a long horizontal incision above between the belly button and the penis.
What are some of the complications associated with the surgery? The surgeon has to be very careful about not damaging the penis or the testicles during surgery to remove the scrotum. The penis and testicles are buried in the abnormal tissue and it is easy for a surgeon to seriously damage them during the surgery. A reconstructive urologist can make sure the penis and testicles are carefully preserved during surgery. At University of Utah we have not seen any complications like loss of a testicle or damage to the penis with lymphedema surgery.
What is the post op recovery from the surgery? If a skin graft is needed than patients remain in the hospital for 5-7 days on bedrest to allow the skin graft to fully heal. Otherwise patients may be in the hospital just overnight or for a few days. Patients need to avoid any strenuous physical activity until they are fully healed. We generally recommend they do not lift greater than 15 pounds for a month after the surgery. It is important to have close follow up of the wound to make sure the surgery is healing well. We will generally follow patients every 1-2 weeks after there discharge until the surgery has completely healed. This follow up can be done with an outside urologist in consultation with us anywhere in the country.

TEHRAN, May 15 (UPI) -- Conservative Iranian presidential contender Mohsen Rezaei has employed economic reform as part of his campaign platform ahead of the June vote.
Rezaei, a former commander of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps and a top challenger to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the country needs to adopt sweeping economic change to meet its ambitious national strategies, Press TV reports.
Rezaei, a harsh critic of Ahmadinejad and his economic policies, officially adopted "economic rescue" as a campaign slogan, campaign manager Davoud Danesh-Jafari said.
His economic message is in line with earlier campaign pledges regarding the economy, which relies heavily on the energy sector.
Rezaei had earlier blamed the Ahmadinejad administration for more than $1 billion in missing oil revenue, promising voters it would be returned.
A national audit in February for the Iranian Parliament found a $1.1 billion budget surplus from oil revenues was not turned over to treasury officials.
Ahmadinejad denied any wrongdoing from his administration.
Ahmadinejad faces stiff opposition for the June 12 vote from Rezaei in the Principlist camp and former Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi on the Reformist ticket.

A few weeks back I published a post on whisky tasting on the Isle of Skye. And in that post I mentioned the Scottish distilleries' penchant for being the most this or the only that. Well today I introduce to you, dear reader, Scotland's smallest distillery, Edradour.
When we left the Isle of Skye on the Caledonian MacBrayne Ferry we were heading for the central Highlands to a holiday let we'd booked on Airbnb on the banks of Loch Tay.
Loch Tay is a freshwater loch between Scotland's two largest national parks, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs and Cairgorms. It's a long, narrow loch which lies alongside the A821.
We chose Loch Tay because of this:
And this:
Our holiday let itself was pretty sweet. It had 3 small double bedrooms, all of which had seriously tiny beds. We ended up using one of the bedrooms as a dressing room which worked out nicely. It also came with an archaic heating system we couldn't figure out until the second night. But it had an only slightly leaky conservatory (view from above) and the kitchen was really nice…
… and there were views for days. Overcast, cloud filled views:
Raining in the distance views:
Even holy heck that's quite a storm views:
Well, whatever the view, we weren't going to just sit in our little house all day.
We had some whisky to taste!
The 45 minute drive to Edradour in Pitlochry took us through Kenmore, a quaint 16th century village at the foot of Loch Tay, just outside the Taymouth Castle Estate which is currently being converted into a luxury hotel, spa, and golf course with exclusive residences. Very fancy. When driving past it you can just about make out the castle in the distance. And since it wasn't open for visitors when we were there, I turn to wikipedia once again:
On your way to Pitlochry from Loch Tay you'll also find yourself driving through the small market town of Aberfeldy. This is where we did all of our shopping and stocking up. There's a great little shop in town called Aberfeldy Farmfresh which has some yummy local finds. However, you'll want to make a visit to the Co-operative a few doors down for your self-catering holiday basics.
Just outside the little town centre is a pretty big name in whisky: Dewars. Aberfeldy whisky is the main ingredient in Dewar's blends, and I admit I was a little surprised to see a big sign which read: Dewar's World of Whisky (yes, that's what they call it). The name kind of makes it feel like it might be the Disneyland of distilleries (don't you think?). But since we like our distilleries small, it was onward to Edradour!
Pitlochry is a small town far more geared to tourists than its nearby sister, Aberfeldy. We paid a visit to the delightful Auld Smiddy Inn after a quick wander around the quaint high street. Lovely pint at the Smiddy. Recommended.
And of course, there was plenty on offer in the way of Scottish wares, should you be interested, in Pitlochry.
But let's not forget the reason for our visit. A delightful (and don't they know it) distillery on the Edradour Burn.
I recommend doing the whole enchilada: tour, tasting and a visit to the shop. You won't be disappointed. Our tour guide was equal parts knowledgable and entertaining and kept a room of whisky novices and enthusiasts completely hooked.
After the tasting, of which we all got to go home with our own commemorative whisky glasses, he took us on a tour of the property, stopping to allow us to take photographs of its rich history, almost none of it I remember. I suppose that's what its website is for.
And this blog? It's for pictures. Hence the name.
Now, the reason that Edradour is the smallest distillery in Scotland goes way back in time to when Highlanders would make their own whisky in small, homemade stills. And when that became illegal, making your own booze at home, they decided to keep making whisky in the smallest legal stills allowed.
And although they may be the smallest, they make 25 blends of their own and have quite the storage facility. Loads of other distilleries store their barrels at Edradour as well as use Edradour in their blends.
We weren't allowed to take photos in the still itself, however if you check out their website they have some videos you can watch.
Once your tour is over, they invite you to visit their newly renovated tasting room as well as the shop. The tasting room is fantastic. I wish I took more photographs of the space, but I was too busy trying out their wares.
Personally I found the Edradour whiskies to be too sweet, and the tasting room bartender equated their 10 year to Christmas Cake. I couldn't find that flavor anywhere on the tasting wheel.
Your last stop at Edradour should be the shop.
If you are flying back to the states, each person over 21 can carry up to 1 liter of alcohol. And by carry I mean carefully pack the bottles in your checked baggage and hope that the airline baggage crew don't break your precious cargo. Our 10 year got home safe and sound.
Even though we really wish we'd been able to take this little guy with us, too.
Alas, no expensive Islay whisky for us. That's saved for our next trip. Islay here we come!
But first, to round out the end of our scorching summer road trip in Scotland… finally, some rain. Rain so thick you can't even see the loch in the distance. One shopkeeper mused that it was the biggest storm they'd seen in years.
I bet they say that about all the storms.
The next morning we awoke to beautiful blue skies with fluffy clouds, the banks of Loch Tay reflected in its mirror like surface…
… Perfect conditions for a drive back to bonnie Leicestershire.
And although we'd originally planned on a couple of nights in Edinburgh, the call of a comfortable bed and warm meal at home was too strong.
As was a pasty at our nearest motorway services! Cheese and bacon, if you please. Nom nom.
The blue skies continued, following us all the way down the M74, M6 and then across Derbyshire.
Seven hours later we arrived in Gaddesby, ready for a deserving glass of wine in the garden, already planning our next trip before parking the car. Though nothing we choose could top a road trip around the Isle of Skye, surely.
What about Paris? There's a cheap flight out of East Midlands on Tuesday…

On this week's episode of Collider Nightmares (September 27, 2016) Perri Nemiroff, Jon Schnepp, Mark Reilly and Mark Ellis will discuss the following:
- Friday the 13th & Rings delayed again
- Snapshot 1988 adaptation in the works
- The Autopsy of Jane Doe trailer released
- John Carpenter has some harsh words for Rob Zombie and his Halloween remake
- The Exorcist premiere review
- Scream Queens Season 2, Episode 1 review
- Jump Scare: Halloween Horror Nights & Haunted Houses
- Twitter Questions
It seemed like it'd be smooth sailing for Rings since we finally got a trailer in August, but it looks like the project has hit yet another snag. The movie's already been pushed back multiple times and now Paramount just announced that they've moved the horror sequel again, moving it from an October 28th release back to February 3rd, 2017, marking the third time that Rings has shifted on the calendar.
In addition to the Rings delay, we've also got ERC Box Office reporting that the new Friday the 13th movie is being pushed back as well. However, that one isn't as much of a surprise. The film's been slated for a January 13th, 2017 release for a little while now, but Paramount first nabbed Breck Eisner to direct in August, so a delay was inevitable. Now the new Friday the 13th is set to hit theaters on Friday, October 13th, 2017.
We've got a new project in the works that might have a little something to do with the Stranger Things craze. THR is reporting that Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard are in talks to adapt Joe Hills' novella, Snapshot 1988, for Universal. Apparently the studio scored the rights to the material in a "competitive situation," beating out Fox which was going after the project for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director, Matt Reeves. According to the Hollywood Reporter description, Snapshot 1988 centers on "a 13-year old boy who ends up taking care of his elderly former housekeeper whom he thinks is succumbing to dementia. What he doesn't know is that her memories are not being lost but stolen by an evil man named The Phoenician who uses a camera that steals memories." Snapshot 1988 will be published as a four novella collection in the Spring of 2018.
IFC Midnight has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming horror film The Autopsy of Jane Doe. It comes from Troll Hunter director André Øvredal and stars Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as a father/son duo who run their family-owned morgue in Virginia. One night, an unknown female corpse is brought in after being found in the basement of a home where a multiple homicide took place. As the two begin their autopsy, strange things take place, and they soon begin to question how dead this woman really is. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is set to hit theaters on December 21st.
As many remakes do, Rob Zombie's Halloween "expands the mythology" and tries to explain the mystery of Michael Myers. The movie was met with a pretty strong reaction when it hit theaters and now John Carpenter himself is weighing in with some not-so-kind words for the film and for Rob Zombie himself. Carpenter took part in a discussion with some film students back in April and the Q&A has taken off as of late because during the chat, Carpenter addressed comments Zombie made in a 2010 TV documentary called Halloween: The Inside Story.
We have two TV reviews for you this week, and we're gonna start with the Series Premiere of The Exorcist. The pilot episode was directed by Rupert Wyatt and introduced us to two priests – Father Tomas and Father Marcus – who will tackle one family's case of demonic possession. Caught in the middle of the two priests is the Rance family, who seem like a normal American family, until the mother comes to believe that there's an evil demonic presence in their house.
Next up we've got our Season 2 premiere review of Scream Queens, also on FOX. This time around the Chanels and other surviving characters from Season 1 make the move from a college campus to a hospital with a haunted past where some fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation.
We're just about a week into the fall season and that means haunted houses are up and running all over the place. Some of the Collider team recently got the opportunity to visit Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, and got to go through three mazes. Let's check out some footage of the gang getting chased by chainsaws … Let's talk haunted houses!

Vision, Belief & Passion with Bruce Black: Episode 267 of The Action Catalyst Podcast
- Posted by Dan Moore
- On January 16, 2019
- 0 Comments
Bruce Black has over 40 years of C-level business experience building several high-performance companies as a founder, leader, entrepreneur, and CEO. For the last ten years, Black has used much of that prior business knowledge to help private middle-market business owners improve their company's performance, lower their risk profile, and achieve maximum value in a sale. Black's firm, IBG Business, was a national finalist in 2016 for middle market strategic sale of the year and awarded the M&A Transaction of the Year in 2015 by ACG of Arizona. From 2005-2008, Black spent three years organizing, leading, and managing a 444-unit ground-up condominium project in the Phoenix valley for Chicago-based Terrapin Properties.
From 1980-2002, he co-founded McCord Travel Management at 29 and over those 22 years, he and his team grew McCord from $0 to over $600 million with 800 employees, becoming one of the largest corporate travel management firms in the US. Driven by a passion for service, McCord's success came one client at a time and through targeted strategic market acquisitions. Under Black's leadership as CEO and President, McCord's business strategy was to serve the most demanding and least easily pleased clients. Those clients eventually included some of Chicago's, Los Angeles', New York's and San Francisco's top law firms, consulting organizations, entertainment companies, movie studios, advertising agencies, national accounting groups, and architectural firms. During his time at McCord, Black was selected as an Inaugural Member of University of Illinois at Chicago Entrepreneurial Hall of Fame. McCord was successfully sold in 2002 to Atlanta-based BCD, a $3.6 billion competitor. At the time of the sale, 22 years after the start, their first client, Hewitt Associates, was still there!
If that same two-decade period wasn't challenging enough, at the same time Black helped form Graphicorp, a recognition and inspirational awards company that eventually went on to become the public company Successories. He also led the formation of Synergi, an international corporate travel firm. As Chairman for its first ten years, Bruce led the alliance from an initial 4 countries to 54 countries that spanned the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.
Black's first job, after graduating from Iowa State University with double majors in political science and sociology, was in outside sales for a small specialty food manufacturing company. Black now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife and their black lab where he spends time consulting with select clients, is an active mentor to startup companies, and is also an avid hiker, motorcycle rider, and mountain biker.

THE antics of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in Sunday's cup final were proof of a major problem in the national sport.
Player power has now tipped so far in the wrong direction managers have lost overall control, and the sport is being damaged.
For those that missed it, the Chelsea goalkeeper defied manager Maurizio Sarri's by refusing to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. The refusal, which came at the end of extra time and moments before a penalty shootout, led to Sarri becoming furious as he lost out to the player in the battle of wills.
Although the Spanish goalkeeper saved a penalty in the shootout he made an error with another, and Manchester City went on to win.
Sarri later said the incident had come about over confusion surrounding whether the keeper was injured, after being treated by medical staff. And on Monday, Arrizabalaga said it was a misunderstanding, with the 24-year-old apologising for his actions.
All of that was damage limitation by player and manager, and shouldn't distract from the bigger issue - Arrizabalaga knew what he was doing by refusing to come off. It was a move totally disrespectful to his teammate, goalkeeper Willy Caballero, his manager and the fans. It was also part of Chelsea players attempts to force out yet another manager they don't like, a move likely to succeed.
This problem is not unique to Chelsea, players are now regularly trying to get rid of unpopular managers across the country. That should be not allowed to continue - quite simply it is making a mockery of the nation's most popular sport.
The sight of the goalkeeper refusing to leave the pitch looked more like a spoiled brat throwing his toys out of the pram, as he was not getting his own way.
What message is that sending to the millions of children who watched it? Footballers are role models, and that is a terrible lesson for them.
Predictably Arrizabalaga's punishment was pathetic. Yes a week's wage sounds a lot - but the loss of £195,000 to a millionaire footballer is small change.
If those antics happened in any other workplace you would see people suspended or even sacked, but Chelsea were never going to do that to a golden boy, the world's most expensive goalkeeper.
FAIR POINT: Wembley pitch row proves the iconic stadium has lost the magic

Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede receives Top Job Creator Award from South Carolina Governor, Carroll Campbell
Following a shorter than expected break after the first season, Dolly opened her Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach for its second regular season on, February 12, 1993. Soon after, Dolly and her attraction received praise from SC Governor Carroll Campbell.
As one of South Carolina's top new job providers, Dolly's Dixie Stampede was given the Top Job Creator Award. The dinner show created 200 jobs when it opened in June of 1992. Plans to remain open for 10 months out of the year increased their annual employment. Before the opening of her Dixie Stampede, Dolly was quoted as saying,
"I love to entertain, but I also love to help people,"
when asked about the economic impact of opening a dinner show in Myrtle Beach.
The initial 200 jobs included musicians, singers, trick riders, stable hands, comedians, magicians and horse riders. Because of the show's success, Dolly and her team had planned to hire even more people for Dixie Stampede's second season.

Storyline: A tragic accident threatens to destroy a pastor's family and sets into motion a complex betrayal between two brothers, while exposing secrets no one wants to face.
Pastor Jonathan Matheson lives in a world of black and white, yet finds a way to navigate the "grey in-between" to work to his advantage, while facing one of the most tragic moments of his life. Set in small-town America and woven inside a tale of redemption, "Chasing Grace" is a story of how one family takes on the burden of guilt in order to make sense of their loss. While pointing the finger of blame at his brother, Pastor Jonathan also chooses to hide from the truth while trying to escape his own personal demons. "Chasing Grace" is loosely based upon true events and provides a powerful story about the redeeming power of forgiveness.

Like a lot of things here, I am trying to understand the differences in situations as well as the why behind those differences. I definitely don't have it all figured out so as always, feel free to comment with your thoughts, especially for my friends who grew up outside the U.S. medical establishment.
I first became aware that the medical profession here is very different from what I'm used to about a month after I arrived in Afghanistan. I was talking with the office IT guy about why I only see him in the afternoons. I learned that he is, in fact, a doctor. Actually, make that the department head of a major division of a hospital. (Wow, really!?) For the past 5 years, he works half the day at the hospital and the other half of the day as the "IT guy" in our government office. It seems like an odd combination to me, but he responded that the IT work pays for him to do the doctoring work. Of course, we all know that IT pays well, but…pays that much more than being the head of a hospital dept??
After this, I started noticing how many of the guys (there are only a few Afghan women that I interact with) I know who are called "Dr." Afghans are very big on titles and formality so I assumed that these people have a PhD. I later learned that almost all of them actually graduated from a medical program (faculty). They could practice medicine. But instead, they work elsewhere.
In the U.S., you will often find people, from other countries working as taxi drivers, in retail, or in other service industries, who were doctors or other advanced professionals in their home country. That situation is usually the result of the bureaucracy to prove their foreign credentials in the U.S. However, that doesn't explain why Afghans, who graduated from medical programs here, are working in completely different professions.
I asked one "Dr" I know who works as an assistant to a Deputy Minister. (Note: all of these guys have very good English skills both as a requirement to get into the medical program as well as because of their use of it in the program.) He told me that out of his graduating class, 10% work as doctors. When he was applying for hospital jobs, he was offered a position in one of the provinces for around $10/month.
Obviously, this is a pittance for a professional job, especially a doctor. But what makes it completely unbearable is the fact that there are so many development organizations in Afghanistan who need translators and professionals to work for them. There is a HUGE discrepency in pay scales because of the amount of money good, well spoken Afghans can make if they work for an NGO, an embassy, the UN, ISAF, etc.
I actually found out that the donor community recognized this was a problem and made an effort to ensure that professions (such as doctors) could get reasonable salaries in their chosen profession. Doctor salaries were increased 3-fold (I don't know the details of how this was paid for). However, based on the estimates I got for potential salaries, if those doctors instead become translators, compared to the propped up medical salary, they will still make 4 times as much. (I should probably note here that this is for a basic translator position, a job which is generally looked down upon in this culture as not very skilled or resourceful.)
Of course, all of this crazy information about salaries means that very few people will work as doctors; most will instead do various office jobs for donors. It also means that there are very few doctors left to actually practice medicine here (and those few are potentially rather unqualified). So it should come as no surprise that Afghanistan and other countries in this region rival the world for their poor health care and maternal mortality rates. (See this article.)
The pay scale discrepancy that our development dollars has created has huge implications for the quality of care Afghans receive as well as changing the cultural attitudes to even getting this kind of education in the future. These are the things I think about when I pass this:

Sign the petition today!
It's a sad truth: ineffective criminal justice policies don't just fail to make Tennessee safer, they leave countless broken families and communities in their wake. There's a better way.
Through legislative action and community-based efforts we can make the necessary progress in protecting our communities and unlocking second chances for people who want to become positive, productive members of society.
We can ensure individuals can contribute positively to their communities after paying their debt to society. The good news is the legislature is working on a number of bills that will break barriers for Tennesseans, including: civil asset forfeiture and pre-trial bond reforms, driver's license and voting rights restoration, removing expungement fees, and citations in lieu of arrest.
These reforms will help all Tennesseans get opportunities to pursue their American dream. Prison and jail space should be prioritized for violent offenders and those that are a risk to public safety, not for those who simply are unable to pay fines or fees.
Conservative states like Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina have all been national leaders in criminal justice reform, expanding rehabilitation programs to reduce recidivism among released inmates. By pursuing prison and sentencing reforms similar to those in the FIRST STEP Act, Texas was able to shut down 8 prisons and now has its lowest crime rate since 1967.
Tennessee should follow suit.
Sign this petition to show our lawmakers it's time for common-sense reforms. It's time for a safer state.

Here are a few tips to keep your back-to-school shopping within your budget.

Unlike it's early 2000 spawn, Winamp for the Android OS has a friendly user-interface that you can easily explore.

Well Shazam is here to identify any song that's playing on the radio, television, or anywhere. Just place your phone near the music and let it do it's music.

Are you seeing this after October 1st has come and gone? No worries, start where you're at!

Farmers scan sky for more rainBy Country News
Some towns in northern Victoria and the southern Riverina benefited more than others when the rain fell last week.
From June 9 to 14, Lake Eildon recorded 27.3mm, Yarrawonga saw 14.8mm fall, Shepparton recorded 11.6mm, while Echuca (8mm), Tocumwal (6.4mm) and Deniliquin (5.4mm) all recorded less than 10mm over the same period.
Shepparton was expecting between 10mm and 25mm on Wednesday but it did not eventuate, instead receiving 8.8mm.
Thoona farmer Malcolm Amery said the rain was welcomed for his canola, wheat and faba bean crops.
''We had 23mm for the week and everything was starting to look for a drink prior to the rain,'' Mr Amery said.
''This will keep the ball rolling and the crops seem to be well germinated.
''We need a few bigger falls than that to replenish sub-soil moisture.''
Pine Lodge farmer Tony O'Callaghan, who is growing barley, canola and wheat, said he received 10mm on June 12.
''We haven't had enough,'' he said.
''We need more rain. This rain is keeping things going at the moment.
''We could handle inches at the moment.''
While rain in late winter and early spring would be ideal, Mr O'Callaghan said any rain was a good thing.
''We'll be happy to take whatever we can get.''

Next, cut up your fabric:
- Cut the flower fabric (purple) into four 3½" squares.
- Cut the background fabric into four 1½" squares, two 1½" " x 6½" strips, and two 1½" x 8½" strips.
- Cut the leaf fabric (green) into eight 1½" squares.
- Cut the center fabric (yellow) into four squares that are 1½".
Step 3: Sew the flower
Draw a diagonal line on the back of all of the 1½" squares with a pencil. This marked line will be your sewing line. Lay out the pieces as shown above, with the center blocks (yellow) in the middle, the background blocks on the outer corners and the leaf blocks (green) on the remaining corners.
Step 4:
Sew on the drawn lines on each square.
Trim away the excess fabric on the corners, ¼" away from the drawn line as shown above.
Press the corners away from the center of each block. Then carefully layout the four squares so they are arranged as shown in the photo.
Sew the four center blocks together like a four patch using a ¼" seam allowance. Press the seams on the back so that they spin in the center. This will help them to lay flat.
Step 4: Finish the border
Add the side borders using a ¼" seam allowance. Press the seams toward the border strip. Repeat with the top and bottom borders. Trim the block to 8½" if needed.
Think of the possibilities!
Make just one block and add it to the heart , shamrock and umbrella block collection, or make dozens and have a cheerful flower garden quilt.
Choose any color you like to make your flowers — they don't have to be purple. These flowers would be fun in a rainbow of colors or make a whole bouquet from your favorite color. Pink flowers would be sweet for a baby girl quilt. A row of red flowers would make a striking table topper. Four flowers sewn together in a four patch would make a pretty pillow cover. How many flowers will you make?

From Peshawar: A plea to the government
A generator is an expensive investment and my family struggled with the decision, but what choice have you given us?
Dear Leaders of Pakistan,
I hope you are well and are busy overseeing and planning solutions for the many problems faced by our nation. Since you will, undoubtedly, be caught up with reforms rather than amassing wealth, as you have just stepped into office, I thought I should tell you a little bit about your awaam.
As a dutiful child is expected to inform his parents about the changes happening in his life, I want to tell you about how we are living now.
We, your children, have finally installed a generator at home.
Despite living in a posh area of the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there are many unannounced and unscheduled power cuts here. The long absences of electricity are felt immensely by all of us and we suffer brutally. We have waited for years for the governments to resolve the power crisis, but this has not happened thus far.
I am from a middle class family where huge investments - such as buying a generator - are not easy and we have to think long and hard before committing to such extravagant expenses. Coming from an educated family, we have always considered our actions holistically; whether they are on the right course and whether our decision would be considered as one made by a good citizen.
But in this case, we had to give in; the heat is getting unbearable and so is the energy crisis.
We had initially installed a UPS, which seemed like a tiny miracle in itself, bringing fans and lights to life despite the power cut. At that time, we were ready to bear the hardships for the cause of our nation. Being naïve, we believed in the promises made time and time again. Sadly after these same promises broken at the same rate by our government, our patience has worn away.
I am not blaming one person here; it is not entirely one leader's fault. The blame rests with your class - the people who have had power for years; who have had the power to bring change and within whom the people power oscillates (there is rarely any real change in your echelons).
As a citizen of this country, I would like to say thanks to our great President Ziaul Haq who introduced the concept of loadshedding Back then, I remember there being only one hour of scheduled load shedding.
Dear leaders of today, can you give my children the same facility now? Can you give my students that peace of mind, that if they happen to take an unscheduled nap, they will still be able to submit their assignments on time, or be prepared for an exam the next day? Can you give the nation an uninterrupted eight hours of sleep?
I don't think you realise the responsibility you have towards your people because you do not feel the same hardship as they do. Do you get eight hours of sleep - sleep that is not interrupted by power cuts and is void of worries pertaining to your livelihood?
I am sure you do.
Can you give our senior citizens the guarantee that the sacrifices they made for the independence of this state were worthwhile?
Why don't you make a deal with your nation; you give us an improved lifestyle and we will do something in return for you. Our youngsters will be able to study harder and bring pride to Pakistan through their educational achievements; being rested with uninterrupted electricity at night, we will go to work refreshed and will boost Pakistan's GDP; if you give us our right to electricity, we will make Pakistan brighter.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, you, as a businessman would know better than me about how to cut costs and effectively utilise resources; please make use of your skills for the betterment of the nation. We really need it. We don't expect you to buy cheap electricity from another state; we have enough resources to work miracles for us. We would not mind if you get cheap electricity for a little while only as relief for us, we will consider it our Eidi, but we want a permanent, effective and indigenous solution that which is not imported.
I promise, we will keep our end of the deal if you keep yours. I promise we will work hard, we will do all we can for the improvement of our nation only if you support us. It has been 65 years and things are not improving, in fact, rather than going forward we have put the gear in reverse.
I hope, dear leaders, that you won't take our plea lightly. I will be waiting for a positive response from you.
Your children, your awaam.

4 Simple Steps to Help You Minimize the Risk of Identity TheftArticle Posted by Expert Author: Emma Prior on 04/08/2013
Having your identity stolen or your credit or bank accounts compromised can be devastating, but these 4 simple steps will help you stay protected.
Many thieves work by going through trash or recycling bins and stealing documents with identifying information. Avoid this issue by shredding documents before throwing them away or recycling them.
Thieves many also check your outgoing mailbox for credit card applications or other correspondence that may have your personal information on it. Prevent this issue by taking sensitive mail directly to the post office to be sent.
Set up complicated passwords and don't use the same password for all your accounts. When possible, use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols – and use both upper and lower case letters.
Don't carry sensitive information in your wallet or purse. This includes bank statements, social security cards, and other identifying documents.
These are simple tips that can save you from the headache of having your identity stolen. Learn more about identity theft prevention at the goverment's secure site.
While you may not associate home security systems with identity theft prevention, in reality the two can go hand in hand. By employing the use of driveway and window alarms, you can keep your important documentation away from the people who want to use it for illegal gain. It's important to consider how the thief thinks when you are seeking to protect yourself and your family.

It's no secret to llama owners that llamas use communal dung piles—often multiple piles—but communal just the same. However, many are surprised to learn that llamas will use litter boxes. Most don't believe it until they see it. Training your llamas to use a litter box not only helps keep your barn clean, it can also reduce the amount of time and energy you use to keep it that way. Our llamas have been using litter boxes for about 15 years. And, with 100 llamas, this poop management tool is a lifesaver.
The Birth of the Litter Box
For the first three years we owned llamas — back when we had about a dozen — we tried everything to manage the manure in the barn. Coming from a horse background, the thing that made the most sense was shavings but we were afraid of the mess it would make in the llamas' coats. So we tried straw and hay to soak up the urine, but found it inefficient and it tended to produce a worse odor than the urine alone. Then we tried sand… which produced yet a bigger mess. Although sand was nice in the summer because you can wet it down to cool off the llamas, it was backbreaking to move and managed to get deep into the llamas' coats. Eventually, we broke down and decided to try pine shavings/sawdust.
It worked great! It soaked up the urine, was lighter to shovel and the pine made the barn smell good. (I've always loved the smell of a freshly bedded horse barn.) But the llamas were kicking and tracking the litter all over. So we kept sweeping the loose litter into a corner, but found that the llamas followed the pile. So we installed a retaining rail to keep the litter in the corner and thus created our first "litter box."
How To Train Your Llamas
Start by spreading pine sawdust or fine shavings over their dung pile area. This will soak up the urine. Sweep the tracked litter back into place. Replace with fresh shavings after each cleaning. If the llamas continue to use the same dung pile with the shavings/sawdust and you're satisfied with the location, construct retaining "walls" with 4" x 4" wooden boards (or two 4" x 4" securely nailed on top of one another to create your "wall"). Then fill the area 4" deep with shavings/sawdust. The smallest box we use has an area of 3' x 6'— this has worked well with small groups of llamas (one to four). Our largest litter box is 8' x 8' and takes two wheelbarrows full of sawdust (or two bales of shavings) to fill. There can be as many as four llamas using this box at one time (including babies who quickly emulate their mamas' toilet habits).
After you've been using shavings for a while, you'll find that your llamas will associate the smell of the shavings with their dung pile. This makes it very easy to assign the location of the litter box in new barns. Our barn was a six-stall, center-aisle stable. The llamas were using the stalls to poop and kept the aisle clean. So the litter boxes were located in the stalls. When we added a 30' x 30' extension on the barn (about 14 years ago) we put in an 8" x 8" litter box in the corner and filled it with sawdust. The llamas instantly knew what it was for and promptly christened it. While we have the occasional "miss" just outside the boxes, the rest of the barn has remained poop free ever since.
Labor Saver
We now have a herd of 100 and spend less time cleaning than we did when we had twelve. Our main barn houses about 60 females using two large litter boxes. Four of the six stalls are assigned to herd sires, each having a pasture and a private smaller litter box. The boys' boxes usually require cleaning once a week or less. When the weather is nice, the girls' boxes get cleaned out once or two times a week. In hot or rainy weather, the barn gets cleaned out as often as every other day.
We use a front-end bucket on our tractor to clean out the litter boxes. The bucket gets dumped into a manure spreader. The stripped stalls then get sprinkled with Sweet PDZ Stall Freshner and then filled with fresh pine sawdust. A full barn cleaning takes about two hours.
A dump truck full of fresh pine sawdust is delivered from a local mill about three times a year. The "dust" is relatively coarse and very fragrant. Bagged kiln-dried shavings are used in a pinch — and is kept in store during the winter "just in case." While bagged pine shavings are usually absorbent and light, the quality can be inconsistent, ranging from really fine powdery sawdust, to curled shavings, to wood chips. The powdery dust will turn to paste: the curls get caught in the llamas' coats; and the wood chips offer little absorbency. We prefer to stick with the fresh sawdust.
Now that you have your llamas litter box trained, you should have a cleaner barn, fewer flies, and more time to play with your critters. On the downside, your llamas may now see sawdust-covered show rings as a giant litter box. A small price to pay for a clean barn.

I was reading Parents Magazine last month when I came across this recipe. I knew right then and there I had to make this for Brandon's Valentines party. The recipe calls for the Strawberry yogurt Cheerios and dried strawberries. However, there is a boy in the class allergic to strawberries so I also bought some vanilla yogurt Cheerios (and made his in a separate bowl), and subbed out strawberries for cherry craisins. They are SO GOOD!
- 3 cups Yogurt-Burst Cheerios
- 1/2 cup cherry Craisins
- 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1. Place paper liners in 24 mini muffin cups. Toss the cereal and Craisins in a medium bowl. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave on high for a minute, stirring it frequently. Combine with the cereal and Craisin mixture. Spoon into prepared cups and refrigerate until the clusters are firm, about 5 minutes.
