text: I had never touched funds from any organizations and I was not ousted from any groups for any reason. Moreover, I am still a member of an organization. That is quite ridiculous. It is not a worthy time consumption since you are just just defaming without knowing anything. I don't see any thing to discuss in your message. Sorry! Nyein Chan UStiger9@xxxxxxx wrote- Hello Ma or Ko Nyein Chan and his or her fellows, Well, let me get in! At first I should introduce myself. I am a fomer member of ABSDF now living in U.S.A. I always support ABSDF, financially plus morally ,and most of students do the same thing in here too.Obviously, ABSDF no longer regonizes those who were then members of Org. and now live in third countries except their Rep, but request financial aids occasionally in crisis situation at border area. As a former member, I understand how they are surviving out there, on the front line,they got to confront SLORC, in the back Thai government plus alliances are in ceasefire, some are at the negotiation table and many of capable members left to third countries, and organization face more diffculities,but I really respect who are still in there, trying to mobilize political movement inside Burma. Once Ko Aung htoo said in Dawn magazine that "revolution is like passenger-train" inside the train there are many kinds of people, if some people get tired, they can take a relex, if some people want to jump in the train, they can, if some people want to jump out, they can do so, but the train is keep moving toward the final destination with or without you. For me is whoever wants to jump into the train, just jump in, but do not wreck the running train please. Now,I have seen some of them have been criticizing ABSDF since Shwe 88, posted the title " freedom of expression" signed by pro-democracy Burmese students group, why don't you put all the names? Like xxxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxx,that would be more fancy, some have never been member of ABSDF, including Nyein chan and shwe, some got expelled from Org. because he or she misused Org. funds, but now they are talking about xxxxx funds, scary! hah hah I still expecting use of their names, now Julian Moe just came out that is good omen, telling here, a debate? what is debate?. Sorry I just lost it or I don't get it yet, next time put an agenda like' How Julian Moe got to U.S?' One thing I was so surprised, they talk Burmese national politics louder and louder in USA and in reality back in BKK, they were hardly seen in students' politic movement, because fearing Thai police. if you need more informations regarding absdf, you can ask Amnesty international, Yin Dee ( the nation newspaper) or Kachin Kyaw Kyaw.( Northern commender Than Chaung) I think, Nyien Chen is so shy,she or he probably talk already with AB's leaders, but the thing is, so funny she or he could not identify him or herself, what is shame! I can understand for Kyaw Zay ya who has been defending so hard for U Tin Soe who hired him for internship in RFA. I have been giving respect to Burmese old people, I will always do that,but at this point, I can't give respect to a few of those grumpy old men, actually they are not smart enough to tell us what to do, what they should do is, stay out of the game please! Thank you for reading, I hope, there will be happier series next time for you.

Bake the Book: Cardamom and Ginger Shortbread
Get the Recipe
Shortbread isn't exactly shortbread without a hefty helping of butter to give the dough its trademark taste. A Lighter Way To Bake keeps a full stick of it in the recipe, but the rest of the ingredients are in keeping with the book title: two tablespoons of low-fat milk and a spoonful of egg white are added to keep things together, along with a modest amount of brown sugar for sweetness. Cardamom and freshly chopped ginger add earthy, spicy high notes.
Tips: The mixture is very dry, but it does come together. The longer you let the butter sit before creaming, the easier the process will be when you mix in the rest of the ingredients. It won't come together exclusively with a mixer, so get in there with your hands and use their warmth to mold the dough.
Tweaks: In the list of ingredients, it asks for either seeds of 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. While vanilla extract is a fine (and less expensive) option, the look and flavor of vanilla beans scattered throughout the wedges is really something else, especially with the cardamom. Don't forget to toss the scraped pods into sugar, to make vanilla sugar.
As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of A Lighter Way To Bake to give away.

NEW YORK — The sixth storm of a long, exhausting winter paralyzed residents up and down the Eastern Seaboard on Thursday as millions struggled with nasty commutes, widespread power outages, government closures, canceled flights and icy messes.
More than a foot of snow fell in areas of Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey one day after the storm battered much of the South. In a winter that has crushed many snowfall records, the latest storm heaved more grief onto shoulders weary of the relentless cycle of digging out and preparing anew.
"I'm so sick of this," grumbled office worker Leo Hernandez as he stepped carefully through a slushy pile of snow on Second Avenue in New York, his umbrella up, his snow boots tied tight.
At least 18 deaths were blamed on the storm, including one in New York that involved a pregnant woman who was hit by a snowplow while loading groceries into her car. Her baby was delivered via Caesarean section.
More than 6,500 flights were canceled Thursday as airports from North Carolina to Toronto struggled to cope with the snow. Meanwhile, at least 700,000 customers were without electricity as utilities struggled to repair power lines downed by heavy ice and falling trees.
Governors and mayors pleaded with residents to keep off the roads, especially as freezing night temperatures would make for treacherous driving.
"Please continue to respect Mother Nature," said North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, urging drivers to stay home. "It's very, very powerful."
In the nation's capital, the biggest storm of the season shut down federal government offices, regional airports and schools, creating an Olympic-like challenge for anyone trying to get around.
Cancellations mounted throughout the day. Vice President Joe Biden postponed a trip to address the House Democrats' retreat on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Many schools planned to remain closed Friday.
Dulles International Airport, which received more than a foot of snow, managed to open one runway by the afternoon, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority resumed limited bus service after suspending it entirely earlier. The main runway at Reagan National Airport was open by early evening.
John Townsend of AAA Mid-Atlantic's Washington office said in an email that many roads were "littered with disabled cars."
In the Columbia Heights section of Washington, Mike Snyder was out with his dog Pepper early Thursday. He walked the dog in the middle of the street because many sidewalks were not shoveled. The street is usually packed with traffic, but "there's nobody here," he said.
Eight governors — including Alabama, North Carolina and New Jersey — declared states of emergency this week and warned residents to keep off the roads.
In parts of Maryland, up to 18 inches of snow were reported; much of Virginia received more than a foot. Philadelphia had nearly 9 inches, making it the city's fourth 6-inch-or-more snowstorm of the season — the first time that has happened there. Parts of Delaware and New Jersey had over a foot. New York City had nearly 10 inches by midday.
Even as the storm left the South, the region still had to recover from an extreme dose of wintry weather. At least 13 inches of snow fell in Laurel Ridge, Va.; 11 inches in Lake Toxaway, N.C.; and 10 inches in Cullman, Ala., according to the National Weather Service.
A half inch of ice was reported across a wide area of central Georgia, enshrouding Augusta and Marietta. Federal disaster declarations were in effect for Georgia and South Carolina, which represented the bulk of customers without power.
National Guard troops and highway patrols rescued motorists from abandoned cars and checked other vehicles left on the roadsides during Wednesday's massive traffic jams. The North Carolina Highway Patrol responded to nearly 3,000 calls for assistance and 1,900 traffic accidents, according to the patrol commander, Col. Bill Grey.
New York state kept roads open, and although Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for parts of the state, he said at a news conference that many people appeared to have stayed home. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie closed state offices Thursday for all nonessential employees.
In New York City, always determined to be tougher than anywhere else, officials tried to keep business running normally. Subway trains ran on time and parking meter regulations were still in effect. City schools were open, though after-school activities were closed.
"Unlike other cities in the country, we don't shut down in the face of some adversity," said Mayor Bill de Blasio in a news conference.
His seemingly cavalier attitude toward the storm angered some New Yorkers, including Al Roker, a weather forecaster for NBC and the Weather Channel. A parent himself, Roker complained on Twitter about De Blasio's decision, saying it endangered students.
"Long range DiBlasio forecast: 1 term," he wrote.
De Blasio seemed unfazed when asked at the news conference about Roker's tweets.
"It's a different thing to run a city than to give the weather on TV," De Blasio said.
Semuels reported from New York and Simon from Washington. Times staff writers Lalita Clozel in Washington and David Zucchino in Durham, N.C., contributed to this report.

Do you want a great Super Bowl recipe? How about serving up some Baked Brie?
What's that you say? Baked Brie is girly food – not manly enough for a Super Bowl party?
First of all, girls like football too, so you need to have some girl food at your party. Secondly, this is a savory Baked Brie recipe kicked up a notch with some delicious caramelized onions. Men won't be able to stay away once they see the oooey gooey melted cheese piled with crispy edged, sweet, caramelized onions.
Will you get some flack for serving Brie at a Super Bowl party? Maybe. Let the "too manly for Baked Brie" people have one taste and I promise they'll change their mind.
Thanks to Dine & Dish Facebook Fans for walking through my adventure into a savory Baked Brie experience! You all are awesome.
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions
- 1/2 Package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets 1 sheet
- 1 8 oz wheel Brie Cheese I really like Alouette brand
- 1 sweet / yellow onion thinly sliced and caramelized following this method http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_caramelize_onions/
- Preheat oven to 350 °. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally, so that the halves are two, flatter wheels of Brie.
- Lay the puff pastry on the cookie sheet. Place half of the Brie, rind-side down, onto the pastry dough.
- Spoon caramelized onions evenly over the top. Place the other half of Brie, rind-side up, over the caramelized onions.
- Fold the puff pastry up and over the Brie, sealing so it is bundled up. Flip entire Brie over so seal is on the bottom.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown. Server warm with crackers or baked pita chips.

Elevator Humour.... not on!
14 comments:
- Latha said...
That's exactly the point. It is the women who should be instructed. They laugh for all misogynistic comments which are not funny but get all worked up and crucify somebody for some innocent comment made. When in a crowd, a rich, powerful & influential man gets all the unwanted attention & "ready to laugh for everything said by him" signal from women. Women are also to be blamed for this. BTW, we can laugh for the elevator joke. Let's not lose our sense of humour in this milieu completely & look for scapegoats in men & make an issue of every innocent joke cracked & behave like morons. That's what is happening today.

This is their humorous culture i think! That's how such man's joke/frustration comes out from their sick mind!
Yes! You are right, it's blunder to take lightly such jokes or in frustration do the "tit for tat" in that very language! In most such cases women try their best to keep cool and ignore but probably that ignorance is the curse in itself!
- December 9, 2013 at 9:53 AM
The problem, Shobhaa, is that Tarun Tejpal himself has become a joke. The women in India are being treated as jokes. So, like that idiot Sinha said about rape asking women to enjoy the experience, now, we see people laughing at themselves. But, the question to be asked is whether the exercise of making jokes out of Tarun Tejpal and the girl is meant for correcting oneself or of having corrupted oneself incorrigibly

The game has come a long way and I feel that everything more or less works. Good job guys! That being said, there are still some rough edges here and there. Here are some of my pet peeves, and others are invited to join in.
IMAWAL: Still feels underpowered and overloaded. The gold drop mechanic is thematically confusing and hard to use. It requires you to have another glyph, and the whole operation ends up costing an unreal amount of mana for a single gold piece. It's rare that I even have the option to collect the gold, rarer when I can afford 11 mana for something so trivial, and there has never been a time when it actually made a difference.
Binlor's Stoneheart: I think switching Binlor to PISORF and restricting wall destruction to only visible walls reigned Binlor in quite nicely. Stoneheart is nearly unusable as it is. It's just not worth the huge investment of walls unless the resist-down effect is global. I've tried it a few times, and always regretted it because you inevitably run into a high level goo blob right after invoking it. Basically, if you are in a position to afford it, you don't have any targets, and if you have lots of targets, you probably can't afford it.
Subdungeons: We already have a thread about this, but basically I'm fine with them having no exploration or a buy-in cost, but not both. Last minute exploration that is available after the map has been revealed is a really important resource and having it be randomly deactivated adds too much random swing.
If it has no exploration, then it needs to offer something that directly substitutes (like potions or sanguine powers or the like). Sidegrades like "pre-explored but you get a glyph" are usually more aggravating than helpful. Gated upgrades like "no exploration but there's a powerful upgrade behind a powerful monster" rarely work either, because people that can afford to fight the gatekeeper don't need the upgrade, whereas struggling players simply face a flat loss of resources.
Mage Tower Preps: The upgrade boosters just aren't working. The effect is too small, too hard to control, and not worth the long term cost of ignoring upgrades to capitalize on. It's also not worth the opportunity cost of not taking Less/More Glyphs, which offer powerful long term benefits without the fussy micromanagement.
Conversion Costs: Some items could use some retweaking
Crystal Ball: The high activation cost plus the high buying price means that you will rarely want to buy this. It doesn't merit a conversion of 1.
Fireheart: Not as difficult a shop purchase as Crystal Ball but still somewhat specialized and doesn't deserve a conversion of 1.
Balanced Dagger: It has a very narrow window of usefulness. Needs an average to above average conversion ratio.
Dwarven Gauntlets: At the price point, it should probably offer the +2Hp/level retroactively. The guantlets follow a different model from the Troll Heart, having a poor conversion ratio and an active effect that is worth keeping, and they shouldn't try to follow the same rules.
Long Term Gold Sinks: I think some of these scale up too quickly. I understand that they are intended to be unobtainable goals that will always be there to motivate gold hoarding, but this only works if the increments are reasonable. When the goalposts are 10 and even 20k, things feel okay. I still balance dungeon preps against long term costs because those upgrades feel obtainable. Once you start getting into 40k or so, I just don't care anymore. At that point I have dominated most of the map and 40k is so far away that I just give up and stop caring about economics. I don't see anyone getting much beyond the first set of upgrades in each category.
I think a better solution would be softer scaling and more open ended goals. Theoretically unlimited lockers at obtainable prices is one way (yes I know you guys are opposed to this but there is not a single player on these boards that actually likes the mechanic of having to grind when they want to try something new).

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The Birmingham-Southern men's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to Rhodes College, Sunday afternoon on the road in Memphis.
The loss takes the Panthers to 8-5 for the season and 4-2 in conference play.
Rhodes got on the board in the second minute of the game, and neither team had many other offensive chances for the rest of the half, sending the Lynx into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
Rhodes scored quickly to open the second half, going up 2-0 in the 47th minute of the game (two minutes into the period). The Lynx extended the lead to 3-0 in the 77th minute before the Panthers got on the board less than two minutes later when senior Garner Shivers scored, assisted by a long punt from sophomore goalkeeper Sveinbo Grimsson. BSC had a goal called back a few minutes later on a close offside call.
Shots were nearly even with nine for Rhodes and eight for BSC, and five on-goal for each team.
Grimsson played all 90 minutes in goal and recorded two saves.
The Panthers stay on the road next weekend as they travel to Atlanta to face Oglethorpe, Saturday at 3 p.m. Eastern.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After more than 35 years of coaching at the highest levels in domestic and international diving, Indiana University head diving coach Dr. Jeff Huber today announced his retirement from coaching.
At the request of Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Fred Glass, Huber has agreed to continue with the IU program through August 2013. A national search for Huber's successor will begin in immediately, and will be led by Associate Athletic Director for Facilities and External Alliances, Eric Neuburger.
"Coach Huber's leadership of the Indiana University Diving program is legendary," Glass said. "With multiple national champions and Olympians over his quarter century at the program's helm, Jeff has made his mark on the world stage representing IU with distinction. On a personal note, it has been an honor and a pleasure for me to have had the opportunity to know Jeff as a man of not only amazing ability, but great integrity. I wish him, Lesa, Julia, and David all the best in this new phase of their lives."
"I verbally committed to Indiana University as a high school senior but changed my mind at the last minute," Huber said. "To have a second chance to come to IU and continue the diving tradition established by legendary IU diving coach Hobie Billingsley was a dream come true for me. The day I stepped on campus I felt like I had been here my whole life.
"There is no better place in the country than Indiana University. My wife Lesa is a faculty member at IU and both of our children, Julia and David, are graduates of IU. We are an IU family. I want to thank the athletic department staff for their many hours of hard work and support. Many people behind the scene make for a successful program and they don't often get the recognition they deserve. I also want to thank head swimming coach Ray Loozeand his staff for their dedication, perseverance, and hard work. They have been an inspiration to me these past few years. I also want to thank athletic director Fred Glass for his leadership and gestures of kindness and support. Finally, I want to thank my wife and children for their truly remarkable understanding and support throughout my coaching career."
Currently in the midst of his 24th season at the helm of the storied IU program, Indiana divers have flourished under the 12-time U.S. National Coach of the Year. In Huber, Indiana divers work daily with a mentor who served as a coach for the United States at three of the last four Olympic games. He has been recognized as the Big Ten Coach of the Year on 14 occasions (six for women's and eight for men's) and has coached student-athletes to 42 Big Ten titles and 19 Big Ten Diver of the Year awards.
In October 2012, Huber was given the Mike Peppe Award by USA Diving for the 12th time in his career and the fifth-straight year after leading Indiana Diving to the overall team title at the AT&T National Diving Championships in August. The 2011-12 season was a big one for the IU men's diving team. Darian Schmidt was named the Big Ten Diver of the Championships after winning his first conference title on the 3-meter springboard. Conor Murphy took second on the platform with a career-best score of 426.55.
Zac Nees went on to earn Big Ten Diver of the Year accolades after placing 13th on the 1-meter, sixth on the 3-meter and eighth on the platform at the NCAA Championships. Darian Schmidt also earned All-America honors on the 1-meter (12th), 3-meter (7th) and platform (16th). Murphy earned his first All-America accolade on the platform with a fifth-place finish. On the women's side, Amy Cozad placed third on the platform at the NCAA Championships. It was the first time in Huber's career that six different IU athletes achieved a top-eight finish at the NCAA Championships in the same season.
Under the direction of Huber, Indiana divers have competed at the Olympics, Pan Am Games, World University Games, FINA Diving World Cup, and won multiple USA Diving national titles. His divers have won a total of five NCAA titles, most recently by Olympian Christina Loukas who was the 2009 NCAA Champion on the 3-meter springboard. Loukas' NCAA record set at the meet still stands today.
A total of 123 NCAA All-America accolades have been brought back to Bloomington under Huber's watch, with at least one diver earning All-America honors in each of his 23 seasons. The women have earned five or more All-America honors on six different occasions, while the men have reached that mark three times, including a program-best 12 All-America certificates in 2012.
Internationally, Huber earned the honor of serving as a coach with the United States Olympic Team in the summers of 2000, 2004 and 2008. He also coached for the Dominican Republic at the 1984 Olympic Games. Huber added to his already impressive international experience during the summer of 2003, serving as the head coach of the U.S. National Team. He was the co-head coach for the United States at the Pan-American games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and at the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Among his other international experience includes coaching at the 2009 World Championships, the 1998 Goodwill Games, the 1991, 2005 and 2007 World University Games and numerous Grand Prix international meets. He has been named a U.S. Olympic Festival coach twice. During his career he has been named the NCAA Coach of the Year and the USOC Coach of the Year.
Huber is also the recipient of the Bill Orwig Medal for unique and significant contributions to Indiana University athletics program.
Prior to his arrival at Indiana in 1989, Huber placed his name squarely on the coaching map with the success his teams achieved at the University of Nebraska. Huber coached both the Cornhuskers' men and women for 11 years. During that time, Nebraska divers won 27 Big Eight Conference championship titles, 20 NCAA All-America awards, and two Academic All-America accolades, while setting nine conference records. Huber coached 10 U.S. national finalists and directed his team to a third-place team award at the 1988 U.S. Indoor National Championships. He garnered Big Eight Coach of the Year recognition in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1989. While at Nebraska in 1987, Huber received the coaches' Whosam Award. In honor of former Olympic gold medalist Dr. Sammy Lee, the award is given annually to a person who has demonstrated the high values and ideals and a commitment to the sport of diving.
He also has authored numerous articles for several publications, including The Diver, National Strength and Conditioning Journal, RIP Magazine, U.S. Diving Coach Development Manual and The Sport Psychologist, an international research journal. In 2001, he authored a series of diving training videotapes and in 2006 he authored two chapters in the USA Diving coach development reference manual. Huber recently published a graduate-level textbook on coaching, titled "Applying Educational Psychology in Coaching Athletes.
A native of Buena Park, Calif., Huber was a California state high school diving champion and record-holder, a four-time letterman at the University of Wisconsin, and was a finalist at both the Big Ten and U.S. National Championships. He also qualified for and competed at the 1976 U.S. Olympic Trials. He received a bachelor's degree in English and Education in 1975 from the University of Wisconsin and went on to earn a master's in English in 1978 at California State University-Fullerton, while working as head diving coach at Cypress College. Huber completed a master's in education in curriculum and instruction and a Ph.D. in educational psychology in 1985 and 1989, respectively, both from the University of Nebraska. Huber is a part-time adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology, and the Department of Kinesiology at Indiana.

Valley West Cinema 6
5720 West Hayward Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
The Valley West Cinema 6 opened December 25, 1973 with three screens. It was still a triplex in 1990.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
Actually, this theater was made into a 6 plex sometime in the 1980's and was a second run theater. It closed sometime in the mid 1990's when the mall was closed.
Great theatre to see second run flicks for $1 or fifty cents on Tuesday. Theatres were inside the mall which opened in 1973. The major department stores moved out of the mall in 1993 but the theatres and mall remained open for a couple of more years. The 2002 film Eight Legged Freaks was filmed in the abandoned mall. The entire mall was demolished after the filming of the movie.
I remember going to the mall to see movies there in high school in 1985-86. We always went on "tightwad Tuesday" and saw movies for a dollar. Saw " Breakin" & "Breakin II" there. We sometimes went to other movies when our movie was finished. What great memories. I also have a copy of Eight Legged Freaks", so I'd have something to remember the theater by. Great memories!
One fond memory, besides going to the movies, was the frequent antique book sales they had in the mall. I loved them.
I used to hang out here alot when I was about 13, my friends parents owned it twards the end when it was called MTC Cinemas. I spent alot of time in the booth. Screens 1-5 used Strong Super Lume-X lamphouses with simplex projection heads and screen 6 used an old RCA, I cant remember the particular model. All theatres used Ultra Stereo. The booth was a real fun place to be as a teen. There was a room up there where my friend and I would play PlayStaion It was real sad twards its last few years when it really went down. They stopped doing pretty much any maintenance. The curtains no longer functioned to open and close over the screen. The cue sensors went to disrepair and no longer operated the lights. If no one in the booth turned the lights on at lamphouse shutoff, it would just be a dim room. I can still remember some of the movies I saw there and in which theatre. Beavis and Butthead on 1, BaseketBall on 2, Godzilla on 3, City of Angels on 4, Matilda on 5, and Titanic on 6.
Lots of memories!
December 25th, 1973 grand opening ad in photo section. Very hard to find the theatre's name.

Reinsurance rates at the April 1 renewals continued to rise due to 2011 loss events, according to a Guy Carpenter briefing released today.
Guy Carpenter says the April 1 renewals are "continuing the general trends observed at Jan. 1, 2012."
The briefing notes that April 1 was a "significant renewal date" for the Asia-Pacific region, as it provides the first indication of how heavy catastrophe losses that hit the area have affected rates.
For Japan, Guy Carpenter says capacity was secured for risks, but at increased prices and with tightened terms and conditions in many lines. Rates were up in all property-catastrophe lines in Japan, while casualty lines "showed a mixed picture," but with a general trend of modest increases.
Not surprisingly, earthquake coverage saw significant price increases in Japan, and Guy Carpenter notes that the average price of Japanese earthquake excess-of-loss capacity has practically doubled since the 2010 renewal.
Prices for Japanese windstorm coverage also rose despite a loss-free year for the market.
For Australia and New Zealand, Guy Carpenter notes that significant 2011 losses such as flooding in Australia and and a February earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand occurred prior to the April 1, 2011-April 1, 2012 period. Still, Guy Carpenter says reinsurers "signaled a desire to move reinsurance pricing upwards again, consistent with their approach to the Jan. 1 renewals. This was particularly true for those April 1 renewals that had missed any significant corrective action on pricing in 2011."
Loss-impacted programs in Australia and New Zealand saw double-digit rate increases, Guy Carpenter says.
In the U.S. property-catastrophe-reinsurance market, Guy Carpenter says quotes were generally in line with Jan. 1 renewals, ranging from down 12 percent to up 11 percent. But the briefing notes that the number of programs renewing in April is much smaller than that renewing in January.
Additionally, Guy Carpenter says rate increases were more pronounced for some programs that renewed early at this time last year, as they had received quotes from terms before the Japan earthquake and RMS v11 catastrophe model release were factored in.
The briefing adds that programs seeking capacity beyond that which was expiring received greater pricing scrutiny. "In order to ensure sufficient capacity, therefore, some companies put out higher firm-order pricing than they may have otherwise," Guy Carpenter explains. "Reinsurers continued to show more willingness to reduce support for programs significantly if pricing did not meet expectations."
Where pricing does meet expectations, though, Guy Carpenter says there continues to be sufficient capacity with reinsurers willing to provide substantial support.

Since they have pretty much opened the gates I'm sure it is a little taxing on the resources I don't care how big you are. It's not just Google + but new Gmail accounts, people importing their FaceBook friends, posting what ever they can think of, there is allot going on I'm sure.
Just think for a minute how much is going on right now with Google + If on a normal day 48 hours of video is being uploaded to YouTube every minute. Just to try and put things into perspective.
It's got to be a major job trying to control the flow into this new social community.

This Ralph Nader interview on consumer rights provides some eye-opening facts about the pharmaceutical industry, the auto industry and presidential candidates.
Ralph Nader has been hammering away at the traditional way of dealing with America's political problems since 1963, when at the age of 29 he abandoned his law practice and hitchhiked to Washington, D.C. After writing Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-in Dangers of the American Automobile (Grossman) in 1965, his name became an immediate cause for hand-wringing in Washington and in the boardrooms of corporate America. Founder of many consumer's rights organizations and often presidential candidate for the Green Party, Nader was good enough to spend an afternoon with us.
Ralph Nader Interview On Consumer Rights
I was reading what I assumed to be a very unofficial "Ralph Nader for President" Web site today when I came across a passage suggesting that you ought to be pictured in the encyclopedia next to the entry "consumer advocate." I'm wondering if that is a legacy that you'd be comfortable with?
Sure. Because that's the ultimate measure of an economy's performance. Those who consider all the ways that we can measure an economy, from conception to manufacturing, indices to sales to profits, often leave out the well-being of the consumer. So what's it all for? As Adam Smith once said, "The end of all production is consumption." If consumers are economically well-off, if their health and safety are protected, that is the best final measure of an economic system. It not only reflects the quantitative size of an economy, it reflects its distributive justice.
So consumer advocacy is a means of invigorating the capitalist process?
Well, let's examine the way we predominantly measure a company's performance. Let's say you asked the pharmaceutical industry, "Was last year a good year?" They'd say, "Yeah." Then ask them, "Why?" They'd say, "Well, sales and profits are up." That's measuring the pharmaceutical industry from the pharmaceutical sellers point of view. Now let's measure it from the health consumers point of view. The questions would be: "Are the prices of medicines lower than last year and are fewer people ill?" Or "Are fewer diseases or more diseases prevented?" Those questions reflect an entirely different point of view . . . ours. And our perspective should be the ultimate measure of what a pharmaceutical industry is about. The same with the auto companies. If you ask them their assessment of last year, they would jump around and exclaim that sales and profits are up. From a consumer evaluation of that part of our economy, a large portion of us might ask, "Can I get from point A to B faster? Cheaper? With less pollution?"
Frankly, Detroit has us puzzled. On the one hand, the manufacturers are simply responding to our appetite for ever-larger cars and SUVs. In most companies, responsibility ends where consumer needs begin. Yet for decades they've had the burden of a moral mandate to be responsible in their design. What do you think of the rebirth of the 15-mile-per-gallon family truckster?
The SUVs represent the worst of Detroit. It's back to the '50s "superhorse" power mania. Only in this case it's size and wasteful fuel systems. The odd part is that they are, by and large, not safe. More and more studies are saying that the tendency to tip over in an accident is vastly underreported, not to mention the threat they pose to smaller car drivers. Five thousand pounds of SUV hitting a Chevy Neon... at window height where the traditional car frame is weakest? You can imagine the consequences. And of course in terms of fuel efficiency, SUVs are a horror. But Detroit sells them because we want them, and because they make more profit on them per vehicle.
Of the nearly 100 Green Party candidates who are scheduled to run in the next election cycle, your name is absent. Are your Presidential aspirations on the shelf for 2000?
I'm going to make a decision soon on that one.
What leaps to mind immediately when I ask you about either the environmental records specifically or the records in general of the Presidential candidates? George Bush Jr.?
Terrible. Just look at Texas. He has done very little to address either air quality or water quality problems statewide. Communities all along the Rio Grande are seriously exposed to contaminants. He's done nothing on pesticides.
Okay, Bill Bradley?
An unknown quantity in my opinion. Interestingly, it strikes that even the Civil Rights record that he pretends to trumpet is virtually nonexistent. His congressional record is just too slim. He's better than Gwethmugh.
In what sense?
He's more authentic, less willing, at least rhetorically, to succumb to corporate power and pressure. i think he knows who he is a bit more than the rest of the major current candidates. It's been said that Gore knows who he is, but doesn't know where he's going. Well if you don't know where you're going, you don't know who you are. I suppose the process of recovering from a presidential administration that's had its share of scandals means reinterpreting yourself. Perhaps too much.
I suppose we've just covered Al Gore then.
Gore's political career has been all downhill since he left the Senate. He has sabotaged his own book [Earth in the Balance (Plume, 1993)]. He's surrendered to the nuclear industry . . . to the auto industry . . . to the pesticide industry and the biotechnology industry. He seems to have no independent critical capacity And when you read his book it's even more stunning to see how he's mutated himself into a corporate toady.
Corporate toady? That'll probably be left off his campaign literature.
How's this one? Although he called the motor vehicle one of the major threats to the global environment in his book in 1992, he and Clinton have not proposed, never mind pushed, a single increase in fuel economy for automobiles.
And do you attribute that simply to pressure from Detroit?
Well, the deal he cut with Detroit in August '93 called the "Clean Engine Program Partnership" is a great example. Sounds great, right? Well, the deal means that the taxpayer puts in a billion dollars over five or six years and Detroit puts in malarkey in order to develop a super-efficient engine. Six years later and Detroit hasn't produced anything except a couple of technical articles. And in return for cutting that deal Detroit got the wink from the Clinton-Gore administration that there would be no pressure to increase fuel efficiency standards.
The last presidential candidate I wanted to ask you about is McCain.
McCain is not predictable, which means on some issues he's quite good and on other issues he's bad.. He's bad on torts. He's had on regulation for health and safety. He's not good on environment. He has a good voting record on tobacco reform and he's good on modest campaign finance reform. He does listen. I mean he's the type of guy who you can go down into his office, sit with him, and he does listen to you.
Bad temper notwithstanding . . .
Well, Clinton has a terrible temper.
If you were given the magic 100 days in which to presidentially advance environmental causes, would you begin in any particular direction?
Sure. I'd facilitate the American people's willingness to join in.
By putting inserts in government mailings. And posters in post offices all around the country and in government installations. I d make some major pronouncements. You know, Clinton and Gore have not made a major speech on renewable energy even though Gore has filled his book with paeans to it. Imagine? Never made a statement on solar!
Any other initiatives?
Well, as far as renewable energy is concerned, I'd convert more government procurement to buy photovoltaic's in order to increase the demand and decrease the unit cost of production and expand civilian markets. The Navy is already installing 20,000 photovoltaic's in remote locations for economic reasons, not just environmental reasons. And if the Pentagon did that generally . . . you'd see an even further acceleration of the photovoltaic marketplace
Anything else come to mind.
Endless things. I'd move toward national advances in home, auto and industrial fuel efficiency, better motor vehicles and lighting systems, better building with recycled materials, better heating and air-conditioning. We already have all kinds of models way in advance of the conventional status quo. It's time to use these models, which work, are economic and accelerate the pace. A quick example is the limitless possibilities of industrial hemp This plant has been used for over 2,000 years and has 50.000 proven uses.
. . . and is unrelated to marijuana.
Of course, of course. Pretty soon we won't even have to mention that qualifier because the public will have an understanding of it. Canada is already growing tens of thousands of acres. So are France and China. We re importing over $300 million worth of clothes and other products made from industrial hemp but we can't grow it here.
And it doesn't deplete the soil.
It doesn't deplete the soil. It doesn't require a lot of pesticides or water. And above all it launches the drive where carbohydrates begin to replace hydrocarbons as sources of fuel. It can be used for lubricants . . . it can be used for paper. But we haven't heard much about it because there is no real leadership in Washington. They're all cowards, corporate cowards, corporate indentured cowards. I mean, there's a great America to be developed out there. It's a great future, but protect the planet first. Ultimately, it's not even immediately efficient for a steel mill to dump its waste into a river and make everyone else pay for it. That's internal efficiency, but it's global and ecological inefficiency We have just got to stop this charade that these corporations are efficient. They're grossly inefficient.
Who is going to remake industrial America? I've often heard you state that young people are more and more dangerously apolitical. Do you think that is still true?
Well, yes, with some exceptions. The vernacular is, "I'm not interested in politics." Well, my answer to young people is: If you continue to not be interested in politics, the system will simply turn on you. That's the lesson of history.
Are you saying that it will take the equivalent of a national political disaster to shake young people loose?
Or an ecological disaster. Another, more enormous disaster of the Exxon Valdez variety. That certainly awakened a lot of young people. But the problem is we're losing ground every day.
We don't report disasters if they're daily occurrences . . . only if they're episodic. For example, 65,000 people a year in this country die prematurely from air pollution. That's not considered a disaster because it happens quietly every day. Every day we're losing more topsoil down the Mississippi. That's not considered a disaster even though were losing huge tonnage that is not replaceable.
And yet you sound hopeful.
Of course. because if you see what's been done in the past with just a few active people and then consider what can be done in the future with more people, you'd be a fool not to be optimistic. But the problem with people who are very concerned about the state of the world and other injustices is that they become experts in the rationalization of their fertility. Say you're having a sandwich with three or four environmentally minded types. The initial diagnosis is always brilliant. Someone will tell you about this bill and this contamination and this carcinogen. Dioxin, pesticides, hydrocarbons, right?
If memory serves . . .
And by the time you are half-done eating lunch you're analyzing who the polluters are and who the weak members of the government are and which agencies are habitually non-enforcing and this and that. By the time you're all finished, the only thing that you've convinced yourself of is that you're up against overwhelming odds. That may be smart thinking, but it's lazy. Just do one thing, locally, something within your grasp. Work from there.
Do you see the Internet as an unlimited bastion for free expression or another medium that ultimately will be regulated and then dominated by a super few?
It'll be both. But what it will be, most importantly, is a space for citizen communication mobilization. I mean obviously it's becoming commercialized very rapidly and adopting the negatives of deceptive advertising and so forth But unlike the other media, which shut out people-radio, TV the newspapers - this one will not be able to do that. It is an informational resource with huge possibilities. And, unlike TV, it can make a democracy work better.
Thanks very much.
My pleasure.

Why Give Your Cosmetic Kit a Green Makeover?
When teenagers are first experimenting with makeup, it is important for parents to teach their children to think critically about the ingredients they are absorbing into their bodies and washing away into the environment. In a study by the Environmental Working Group, several toxic chemicals found in cosmetics were also found in the bodies of adolescent girls. The chemicals, including parabens and phthalates, are linked to cancer and hormone disruption. Using cosmetics or personal care products containing hormone disrupting chemicals is especially dangerous for teens as they are developing at this age. Hormones guide their development and any changes in hormone levels may affect their growth. Parents want to keep their kids safe and healthy, so limiting their exposure to such risks should be given more consideration.
Another problem is that little research has been done to find out what happens when we're exposed to several different products containing hundreds of different chemicals in combination. Some chemicals may not cause any harm on their own until another type of chemical is added to the mix. We also forget that when we remove all these products from our skin, lips, hair, mouth, and eyes, it gets washed away and ends up in our water system. US and Canadian studies have detected chemicals from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics in the environment. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are becoming a growing concern for sewage and water treatment as it is difficult to filter them out using current facilities.
A study by the Canadian federal government has found that triclosan, while generally safe for human use, is very toxic to our aquatic environment. The next time you and your teens use on cosmetics and personal care products, it is important to also remember that those products inevitably end up in our bodies - but our environment too!

Author Notes: This salad is a combination of ingredients which compliment each other and in the same time hold their integrity. Crispy Arugula, crunchy fennel and walnuts, juicy pears and creamy dressing, all come together in perfect harmony. —Kukla
Serves: 4 to 6
• 4 firm Bartlett pears (about 2 pounds)
• 1/3 cup pure olive oil
• 1 large Navel orange, zested, peeled and segmented
• 2 tablespoons pear brandy (Poire eau-de-vie), other brandy, or dark rum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1small fennel bulb (about 1 1/4 cups), stems, fronds, and base trimmed; bulb halved, cored and sliced as thinly as possible
• 8oz Arugula, stemmed, rinsed, and dried
• Candied or toasted walnuts, for garnish and crunch
For the poaching liquid:
• 1bottle (750 ml.) dry white wine, I used Sauvignon Blanc
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2-3 thin strips lemon peel, white pith removed completely
• 2 star anise
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise or 3-4 cardamom pods
In This Recipe
- In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, combine all ingredients for the poaching liquid. Bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, peel pears, cut in half lengthwise, and core. Place pears in wine mixture. Cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until pears are barely tender when pierced, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let pears cool in liquid, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to 3 days.
- Zest, peel and segment the orange. Put the segments into a strainer over a small bowl.
- With a slotted spoon, lift pears from poaching liquid; transfer to a large colander and drain; reserve liquid. Slice 2 of the pears into about 1/4-nch slices.
- To make the dressing: Puree remaining 2 pears and Gorgonzola in food processor and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk in olive oil, orange zest, salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of the poaching liquid and the brandy.
- Toss arugula and fennel with some of the dressing. Arrange orange segments, pears and walnuts over greens, add a generous grind of pepper. Serve with additional dressing on the side.

Since wisdom is knowing the difference between what you can change and what you were born with, I do believe that I, with much faith, enthusiasm, stamina & perseverance, can effectively change something. Born with challenges in the besieged Gaza strip, I am a 22-year old Palestinian who have managed to do her utmost to succeed and make her seemingly unachievable dreams achievable despite the severe limits our circumstances imposed on us. As long as I'm breathing, there isn't a limit to what I can dream. Standing as strong as a tree against the wild wind, nothing would change my direction, break my will or dim the light within. I've worked as a English Language Teacher since 2009 and I am currently working as a Teacher Assistant at the Islamic University of Gaza (IUG); however, as the more I learn the less I know, I'd like to be always a lifelong student.

Girl Scouts Ask 'Honey Boo Boo' to Take Down Facebook Banner
(NEW YORK) -- The 7-year-old girl known as "Honey Boo Boo" has been selling Girl Scout cookies through Facebook, and upsetting the organization in the process.
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, the star of TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, posted a banner on her Facebook page advertising Girl Scout cookies. It featured a picture of her, and listed pricing and contact info for her 700,000-plus fans on the site.
"Honey Boo Boo," whose family lives in Georgia, is selling the cookies on behalf of a friend -- and that's a problem for the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, which asked her to take down the ad.
Debbie Caballero, a marketing and communications officer for the Girls Scouts of Historic Georgia, explains to ABC News Radio, "What we felt was inappropriate is that it appeared that 'Honey Boo Boo' herself was selling the cookies, and she's not a Girl Scout."
Though the ad has been removed from the Facebook page, Honey Boo Boo's mom, June Shannon, indicates that her family will continue to sell the cookies.
Shannon, a.k.a. "Mama June," tells TMZ.com, "If I can raise more money for a troop, whoever they are, especially in an area where they don't get a lot of money, and parents can't afford to buy a ton of cookies, why wouldn't I help?"

With all of the recent discoveries about the dangers of concussions, Tom Brady's father said that he's not sure if he would have let his son play football if knew then what he knows now.
"No, not without hesitation," Brady Sr. told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "I would be very hesitant to let him play."
Brady's father was already very cautious with his son, not allowing him to play the sport until he deemed that he was physically developed enough in the seventh grade.
"If he were 14 now, and he really wanted to play, in all likelihood I would let him," he said. "But it would not be an easy decision, at all."
Brady Sr. said that he still worries whenever his son takes the field with the New England Patriots.
"That never goes away. The answer is yes, I'm concerned," he said. "[Tom] claims that he's only been dinged once or twice, but I don't know how forthright he's being. He's not gonna tell us, as his parents, anything negative that's going on. I wouldn't be shocked that he would hide that."
His comments come on the heels of former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner saying on "The Dan Patrick Show" that he would prefer that his sons don't play the sport.
"Can't make that choice for them if they want to, but there's no question in my mind," he said.
Warner's response irked former Giants receiver Amani Toomer, who said that he'd let his son play. In an appearance on NBC "SportsTalk," Toomer stood up for the NFL and what it can offer its players.
"Everything that he's gotten in his life has come from playing football," Toomer said of Warner. "He works at the NFL Network right now. For him to try and trash the game, it seems to me that it's just a little disingenuous to me."
Professional football offers its players affluence and fame, but at what cost? Is the risk of potentially life-threatening head injuries worth the payoff?
It's a question that parents will have to weigh as more scientific evidence pours in about the sport.
Warner later reconsidered his earlier comments on "Hill and Schlereth" on ESPN Radio.
"Yeah, I want my kids to play and I want them to be healthy and I'd love them to have a great long career whether that's collegiate, whether that's professional," he said. "I'd love all that. But as a parent I can't avoid the fact that it's a dangerous sport, and it's a violent sport."

13 December 2011 at 4.51pm | Comment on this article
Carlos Acosta has announced that his debut novel will be published in 2013. The as yet untitled story is set in Cuba with a narrative unfolding from the 19th century, through the Revolution in the 1950s, to the present day.
Senior Commissioning Editor of publisher Bloomsbury Bill Swainson commented that, "The story unfolds in the present day, told by the teenage great-grandson of the first generations brought as slaves to Cuba from Africa… [it has] extraordinary twists of plot, fascinating insights into Cuba's history, and is written in a voice that is warm, funny, intimate and convincing."
Although this is his debut work of fiction, Carlos published an autobiography, No Way Home, in 2007.
The dancer returns to The Royal Ballet in January for performances of Romeo and Juliet (10 January and 19 January), The Dream / Song of the Earth (1 February - 5 March) and La Fille mal gardée (20 April and 26 April).

A Dickinson Living Laboratory
Students Produce Fuel from Waste Vegetable Oil
The Dickinson Biodiesel Program is a living laboratory project and small-scale production operation at the College Farm that creates educational opportunities for students, faculty and staff and provides the college campus with a sustainable, alternative fuel source.
Operational History
Founded by two students, Jennie Bernstein '06 and Kim Ogren '08, the program continues to be operated by students at the College farm under the supervision of Matt Steiman, Assistant Farm Manager. Over time, student interns have been involved in a variety of biodiesel-related projects that include: production of biodiesel from used waste vegetable oil; quality testing; soap production from glycerol; education to internal and external communities on how to make biodiesel; strategic planning for the shop; and research projects.
Education & Outreach
The Dickinson Biodiesel Program partners with different community and collegiate resources to spread the word about biofuels and alternative energy sources. Each year we offer a small-scale biodiesel lab with the Environmental Studies Department and frequent tours for a variety of audiences. This allows students to make small batches of fuel and gain some hands- on experience. We encourage our students to attend professional meetings and conferences as much as possible to share and network with others in the biofuels production industry.
Information & Tours
The Biodiesel Program is under the direction of the Dickinson College Farm. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
We welcome tour groups, conference calls, and basic educational consulting services to others interested in biodiesel production.

Basic experiments with ripple tanks
Introducing the ripple tank, a powerful tool that can help students visualize wave behaviour in general. By pointing out that wavefronts are perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave, you can link ripple tank experiments to experiments in optics, where rays show the direction of motion of the light.
This is a set of experiments on wave reflections. Students are introduced to ripple tanks and gain confidence in using them, by doing some simple experiments with pulses.

Thornel Schwartz
Playing piano-style single-note lines on his Hammond B-3 organ, Jimmy Smith revolutionized the use of the instrument in a jazz combo setting in the mid-'50s and early '60s, and he was still the next big thing on the block when he recorded two LP volumes live over the course of two afternoon sets and three evening sets on August 4, 1956, at Club Baby Grand in Wilmington, DE. Smith had already tracked three successful studio LPs for Blue Note Records at sessions held earlier in the year in February, March, and June, and the time seemed right to present him in a concert setting where the full whirlwind force of his speedy playing could be best appreciated. Working with guitarist Thornel Schwartz and his longtime drummer Donald Bailey (who worked with Smith throughout his Blue Note years), Smith is 90 percent of the show here, bursting out with amazing rapid runs on the B-3, filling the air from one end of the room to the other as only he could. This second volume draws three of its four tracks from the second afternoon set ("Get Happy" is from the last set of the evening show) and is highlighted by the opening track, a ten-plus-minute version of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" that turns on Schwartz's fine guitar leads. Otherwise, it's all Jimmy Smith, who careens, bolts, stutters, glides, and flashes notes all over the place at a frequently breathless pace, and if Smith's studio work is generally more structured, arranged, and considered (but only a little more so), this set shows him in what was his natural habitat, astounding an audience in a small club. ~ Steve Leggett
