I chronicle the decline and fall of entitlement democracy
UPDATE – "10 Ways the Greek People Can Save Themselves"
Once in a great while an opportunity comes along to deliver justice to a people, giving them what they truly deserve. Greece's time has come.
It must be dawning on all but the most obtuse member of the banking elite that they can't possibly steal enough money from German taxpayers to save the Greek government from default. Put it off, maybe, but collapse is inevitable.
Once this happens, what is the purpose of casting Greece into some selective temporary financial purgatory where the irrelevant Greek economy can continue embarrassing anyone foolish enough to lend their dysfunctional government a dime? Why not go all the way and give the country what many of its people have been violently demanding for almost a century?
Let them have Communism.
Hard as it is for young people to believe, Communism was once a major historical force holding billions of people in thrall. Outside the halls of elite universities, who still takes it seriously? Sure we have Cuba, where the Castro deathwatch is the last thing standing between that benighted penal colony and an inevitable makeover by Club Med. Then there is Venezuela, though hope is fading that Hugo Chavez will carry the Bolivarian banner much longer now that he's busy sucking down FOLFOX cocktails while checking for signs that his hair is falling out. And frankly, a psychopathic family dynasty ruling a nation of stunted zombies hardly makes North Korea a proper Communist exemplar.
What the world needs, lest we forget, is a contemporary example of Communism in action. What better candidate than Greece? They've been pining for it for years, exhibiting a level of anti-capitalist vitriol unmatched in any developed country. They are temperamentally attuned to it, having driven all hard working Greeks abroad in search of opportunity. They pose no military threat to their neighbors, unless you quake at the sight of soldiers marching around in white skirts. And they have all the trappings of a modern Western nation, making them an uncompromised test bed for Marxist theories. Just toss them out of the European Union, cut off the flow of free Euros, and hand them back the printing plates for their old drachmas. Then stand back for a generation and watch.
The land that invented democracy used it to perfect the art of living at the expense of others, an example all Western democracies appear intent on emulating. Being the first to run out of other people's money makes Greece truly ripe to take the next logical step beyond socialism.
As wrenching as it will be we can take comfort in the fact that Greece doesn't have much of an economy to disrupt. The only Greek industry that's worth a damn is tourism, rapidly collapsing as travelers get tired of being stranded by strikes while dodging Molotov cocktails. The rest of us can find plenty of other sources of lamb chops, yogurt, and olive oil. They crushed the concept of private property long ago under the burden of environmental, cultural, and social regulations that govern land use. Wouldn't it be instructive to let them have a go at building a workers' paradise to remind us what state enforced equality looks like?
Unlike neighboring Balkan nations that got to experience the joys of Communism after the Second World War, Greece was brought back from the brink by massive western intervention as well as a Churchillian side deal that obliged Stalin to butt out. The nasty civil war between the Greek Communist Party (the KKE) and government forces backed by Britain and the U.S. set the stage for decades of struggle between communist sympathizers who never gave up the dream, and right wing juntas determined to rule by force. The uneasy peace that has existed since the colonels were booted merely masks underlying tensions as every Greek worries, is someone else working fewer hours than I am?
Birbilis, I think you are mistaken. I don't see Greeks respecting private property. Maybe you should come to my house and see all the Graffiti that Greeks write all over the area, and even we've even painted over it, the jerks come back and write their nonsense again. Also, what about all the garbage that people litter all over the beautiful country of Greece. I think you should reconsider your comment.
Also, regarding Turkey, don't forget their economy wasn't in a very good shape in the recent past, they even had cut off 3 digits of their currency in one night.
And don't forget their poor human rights score and the occupation of Northern Cyprus and denial to recognise the existence of a UN recognized country, Cyprus which is also an EU member. Now that Cyprus is going to be at the presidency of the EU for a while the Turks are escalating their threats that EU-Turkey talks will freeze etc. (they still don't allow trading etc. ships from/to Cyprus ports, not honouring deals with the EU and they want to become a member of the EU?)
While I am not Greek, but use to travel a lot to Greece, Western Europe and other Balkan countries, I couldn't agree more with the author. I am now living in Italy, which is probably the closest country if you compare the national way of thinking and living.
Whatever the Greeks like it or not, they are lazy and have been living on credit for quite some time. They probably don't like it, but now it came the time to pay. And the revolt against this. If they want someone to work and everyone to benefit, its time to leave them to handle it internally. Europe doesn't want to work for them. If you go out in Athens, all the coffees and bars are full. Everyone in Athens drives a car and has a home cleaner from Macedonia, Bulgaria or Romania.
This time is over and Greeks must move on. Now it's time to work to pay the bill.
Communism is a very hard "work"… Bet you have a car too, Bet you went to bars and coffee shops too. You obviously do not see the root of the problem.
"neo-liberalism," of course, is in the eyes of the beholder. What has indisputably caused a major part of the financial crisis in the US is the absolute deregulation that turned the financial sector into a pirates' den. Greece has Europes' most over-regulated economy, more so or as much as some East European Communist states (Hungary for example)had. Greece's economy is the mirror image of America's. It is in a straight jacket. Freeing it chaotically would only create a different sort of extreme economic catastrophe. Absolute deregulation, of course, is the ugly extreme of neo-liberalism. Its victims fill the bread lines of America.
Mr Frezza has succeeded where everyone else has failed: he has united disparate Greeks in agreeing that he has a serious knowledge deficit where Greece and Greek affairs are concerned. Uniting the Greeks on any subject is no small achievement. A Greek Presidential medal would not be entirely out of order, and it would appear that many posters here would love a crack at driving the pin through his shirt.
Actually the GReeks managed to con their way into the Euro based on advice not from Fanny Mae but from Goldman Sachs. Oh yes, they wanted a belt and braces fraud job.
North Korean – stunted zombies. Hmm. Nothing like a bit of casual racism.
Mark at http://www.idgconnect.com/blog
I have no problem with allowing another experiment with what Bradford called "that conceit of Plato" in his history of Plymouth Plantation (remember, the colony was supposed to be socialistic, but socialism was leading to starvation, and it was only saved by an early derivation of Coase's law in subdividing property among families for use in private gain), but we might see them drag quite a bit of Europe into the mire with them. Oh, well, too bad for stinking Europe.
Mr. Venizelos,I wonder what will you testify and in what grounds you will pose the same argument in future when Italy comes to terms of Greece. And believe me it will, and after that comes Spain. If Italy follows Greece's example will you then say that Italians don't work much? Will you say that it is their fault? Because if we borrowed 150 billion Italy will need much more. Not to mention about Spain for which approximately the numbers reach the trillion.
Also, about Greek mentality. I have been to Italy and pretty much is exactly the same when it comes to nightlife or their attitude. You didn't say anything about them. Aren't you prejudiced then against Greeks? About the house cleaner.. Have you visited many Greek homes to justify your opinion? When the average monthly income is 1000 euros you actually believe that there was or is place for luxuries? Of course there are people who are wealthy in Greece and after all these they are the only who don't worry about their future. The average Greek though and we are talking about the 70% in the past and today lives with the income I referred and when someone gets to have a job with 900 euros today is considered lucky… Can you live in Italy with 900 euros? Certainly not.
Always, always you can easily find examples, to judge and certainly generalize opinions. Yes, we will pay and we pay for our mistakes…or better say for our loans. In fact, the 75% of the loans we pay off every year (which is about over the 50% of our income) come from 100 years before. So, believe me as those loans are still paid and overpaid off every year, in the same way the current loans will be paid off even after our fall. Simply they don't let you. And lastly, please try to see a more wide picture. Today, I have to justify and explain the other view and I feel the impact just because you come to conclusions without seeing or examining all the facts. It is what Greeks say: whoever is outside from the dance knows to dance better..

All of a sudden, big-spender PSG finds itself scrambling
Projects, eh?
Twelve months ago, Paris Saint-Germain had Carlo Ancelotti as manager and Leonardo as director of football, and Thiago Silva -- probably the best central defender on Earth -- was on his way.
Now, Ancelotti is at Real Madrid. Leonardo, who announced his resignation Wednesday, will be going at the end of the transfer window. And, while it's by no means certain, don't be surprised if Silva moves on too.
Meanwhile, PSG are trying to sign a big, prolific center-forward for the fourth-highest fee in the history of the game, which would be great if not for the fact that they already have a big, prolific center-forward who carried the team last season, has two years left on his contract, and is the third-highest paid player in the world, making him nearly impossible to sell. (But we'll get to Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a bit ...)
And the manager now in charge is a guy who was passed over for the Roma job just over a month ago. (Note, with all due respect, we're talking Roma, not Barcelona.) And the fact that Laurent Blanc was even talking to the giallorossi in early June tells you PSG was not an option for him at the time. And that, in turn, offers crystal clear confirmation that the club had no idea who their next boss was going to be as late as early June. Which, simply put, is a shoddy way to run a club, let alone one of the best-resourced and best-funded in the universe.
Having a near-limitless budget to lavish on transfer fees and wages isn't enough to become a perennial European force, which is what PSG ought to be, given their spending and geography. You need a plan too. And what is becoming increasingly obvious is that either PSG has none or chose the wrong one and now has to scramble to come up with something new.
-- Leonardo to resign from PSG role
It begins, obviously, with the manager. Ancelotti, hand-picked by Leonardo, seemed an enlightened choice at the time. Proven winner, record of playing attractive football, nice guy, and the ability to handle outsized egos and personality. PSG duly won Ligue 1 and even gave Barcelona a scare in the Champions League. But you could tell things weren't clicking. On the pitch, things were Ibra-centric to the nth degree, which is never good. PSG struggled on an almost weekly basis in Le Championnat, huffing and puffing to blow down the defensive barricades of smaller clubs that treated games versus the Parisians as if they were mini Champions League finals.
Whatever the case -- and PSG mastered the art of winning ugly -- by April it was obvious that Ancelotti wanted to leave. He had been approached by Real Madrid to be Jose Mourinho's successor and, having already turned down the Bernabeu once before, wanted to take the job. Common sense suggests you don't try to keep a guy -- especially someone with as much power as your manager -- against his will. While PSG were right to try to extract maximum compensation from Real Madrid, they knew nearly three months ago that they would need to find a new manager for 2013-14.
What happened? They were linked to everyone, it seemed, but failed to land anyone -- which is why, ultimately, they turned to Blanc. And, make no mistake about it, they only moved for Blanc once they had exhausted their other options, which is why he was still talking to Roma in June.
We're not clear on the specifics, but this whole affair with the manager seems particularly ham-fisted. Selling someone on PSG should not be difficult. Great stadium, big fan base, enormous resources, wealthy owners and the chance to live in Paris, one of the most desirable cities in the world.
Who is to blame for all this? The owners? Nasser Al-Khelaifi, their man in Paris (and most other places)? Leonardo? Jean-Claude Blanc, the club's chief executive?
It's tough to tell. But you hope that the people in charge are apportioning blame and learning from their mistakes.
Leonardo's departure must be viewed in the same light. Leonardo was the perfect face-man for PSG: charismatic, multilingual (he speaks five languages), articulate and a former PSG player to boot. What's more, he's one of those executives who is generally liked even by opponents, and that was important for a club like PSG, whose owners and sheer financial might were inevitably going to make them a club easy to dislike.
Yet Leonardo's time as PSG's director of football was hardly a rip-roaring success. The club spent enormous amounts and achieved the bare minimum. Leonardo himself, in an uncharacteristic loss of cool, was given a nine-month ban (later increased to a year, just to add insult to injury) for barging into a referee. How bad was it? You be the judge.
Whatever the case, after that incident, you would have expected the club to come up with some kind of Plan B, especially since rumors were circulating three weeks ago that he was packing his bags (funnily enough, right around the same time that Laurent Blanc came on board).
And yet, we got nothing. Not just that, but Leonardo is sticking around to run the club's transfer operations this summer. You can imagine just how effective his recruiting spiel is going to be in those circumstances.
"Hey, Edinson/Wayne/Cesc/Robert, come to PSG! We have big plans for you and for the club! What's that? No, I won't be around. I'm getting the heck out of Dodge and, no, I have no clue who's going to replace me, but don't worry, come on board! You'll love Laurent Blanc!"
What you'll end up with is folks joining for money and money alone. Now, some will argue that this was the case ever since the Qataris bought PSG and went on their spending spree, but at least with Ancelotti and Leonardo the club could say they had a plan.
As for Cavani and Ibrahimovic, as I wrote Monday, it makes zero sense. But when you think about it, PSG's whole approach doesn't quite add up, starting with their willful determination to pretend there is no such thing as Financial Fair Play. Or, if there is, their belief that UEFA won't enforce it.
Blanc -- as in Laurent -- may yet deliver another Ligue 1 title this year and maybe even a run in the Champions League. But more important to PSG's future is what the other Blanc -- Jean-Claude -- delivers. He, together with his boss, Al-Khelaifi, needs to conjure up some kind of coherent three- to five-year plan, one that will allow PSG to attract and retain the right people to build sustainable success.
Otherwise, the only ones who will benefit are the guys getting rich off the Qatari money. And there are plenty of those.

Charles "Chuck" Morrissey '56 agreed to give a guest lecture on new business start-ups at the University of California, Irvine, in 1984 and has been hooked on teaching ever since. Today Morrissey is a professor at the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University, blending a scholarly background with real-world experience. A former entrepreneur and new venture incubator, Morrissey also heads up Pepperdine's annual Business Plan Competition.

Charles Morrissey '56 at the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University.
An associate professor of strategy, Morrissey says the entrepreneurial environment at the Graziadio School makes his "the perfect job in America." A self-described "roads scholar," the Irvine resident regularly commutes to Pepperdine campuses in West Los Angeles and Malibu to teach. He has taught at all of the school's academic centers from Orange County to Santa Clara.
With a Ph.D. from Claremont University, an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, and a B.A. from Colby, Morrissey has deep academic credentials. Teaching held an early interest for him, but it wasn't until 1989 that he decided to move into the classroom.
"When the Los Angeles Times published a story on the Beckman family gift to Pepperdine for a new graduate campus, I read it and thought Pepperdine sounded like the right place for me," Morrissey said. He contacted Graziadio School professor John Nicks and managed to pitch himself into a job. The move propelled him into management education, while allowing him to remain in the world of new business ventures as a consultant.
Morrissey had previously been involved in two successful for-profit ventures: Timeshare Corp., which enabled competitive computer timesharing and was sold to Houghton Mifflin, and a company called Studio Software. The experience gave Morrissey valuable practical experience that serves him well in the classroom.
"I define entrepreneurship as 'developing innovation without resources,'" Morrissey said. "An entrepreneurial approach to starting new enterprises is contrary to traditional strategy models involving institutional lenders."
Morrissey illustrates the notion of developing innovation without resources by recalling the founding of the United States. "Our country has relied on entrepreneurs since its beginning, and it is vitally important to nurture future generations of entrepreneurs who are not likely to launch their businesses through traditional financing methods."
Mark Mallinger, director of Pepperdine's full-time M.B.A. program, says Morrissey brings the same level of enthusiasm to running the Business Plan Competition as he does to teaching. "His energy and commitment to quality have helped shape the competition into a premier event."
The students' plans, presented to an audience of their peers and business professionals as judges, were evaluated on the originality of the idea, the viability of the business model, and the potential for future financial success.
The winning plan for 2008 was Nurse Education Web, a Web-based clinical practice reservation system for nursing schools. The site allows nursing schools to save time and money and expand the number of nurses available to enter the workforce.
Meanwhile Morrissey remains dedicated to his teaching. "It's important," he said, "to remind everyone how important entrepreneurship is to the world economy and that entrepreneurship is a key value in society."

A principal is the head teacher or the leader of the school where he or she works. They are also known as head masters in some countries, as well as a few select schools in the United States. Principals are, in a sense, leaders of an entire community of learners.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
There are many duties of a school principal. Some of these duties include, but are not limited to the following:
Good educational administrators will have all the following attributes:
School administrators must work first as a teacher. To become a teacher, one will need a bachelor's degree in education. Teachers are also required to have a license or a teacher's certificate in the state or province in which they teach. Requirements vary in different countries, however, almost all of them need a bachelor's degree, an amount of "supervised" teaching and the successful completion of an examination. This exam includes such things as literacy, teaching ability and subject knowledge. Some schools need a person to work as a teacher for several years before he or she can become a principal.
The degrees and certifications required for a career as a principal also vary. In most public schools, however, educational administrators need to have a Master's degree in either Educational Leadership or Educational Administration. These programs include such courses as finance, leadership, curriculum planning, law and human resources. Some principals also have a doctoral or specialized degree and will have completed an internship.
The field of educational administrators is a rapidly growing field and there are many traditional as well as online schools offering programs. There is a lot of room for advancement in the educational field as well. Many principals receive promotions by being transferred to a place that offers more responsibility. Other types of promotions include being promoted to a superintendent or even a person who is an institutions president.
Principals can work in colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, pre-schools and in daycare facilities. They can also oversee programs for such institutions as museums, job-training organizations and businesses. They usually have their own office as well as their own secretary, but can also be found working in classrooms, auditoriums and outdoors during special events. They work long hours, often working into the evening. Principals work closely with vice-principals, teachers and other faculty with the common goal of providing a rich and safe learning environment for the students.
The average salary of a high school principal is about $82,200 per year, middle school is about $78,000, an elementary school is about $74,000 and a preschool or daycare is about $46,400. These salaries will vary depending on the Principal's experience in the field, the number of children that attend the school, as well as the city in which he or she works.
There are many benefits given to educational administrators. These benefits include health, dental and vision insurance, pensions and paid vacations.

I've got a pretty good library on BMW motorcycle books. The authors of the different books will have a bias to one style of BMW and will go to get detail to show case that style pretty well. The models they don't think so much of get short thrift. One thing I can't stand is looking through a book or list of BMW models and see most all the models listed in pretty much stock condition, then one model is shown with a bunch of aftermarket pieces. I pretty much know the different models, but for someone new to the mark it can be confusing.

who cares? do people really get offended by cursing this mild in 2013?
Video: TNT's Reggie Miller curses on air during post-game address to Warriors
*Warning: profane language in the video *
TNT commentator Reggie Miller joined coach Mark Jackson to offer some post-game thoughts in the locker room following the Warriors' 92-88 win over the Nuggets to finish off a 4-2 first-round playoff series victory.
"You guys know how much I love this guy right here," Miller said, wrapping his left arm around Jackson, his former teammate. "He's meant so much to me, my career, my family. The way you guys play and the passion you guys play with, I can tell that not only has he had a huge impact and influence on you guys, but the love you guys show one another and the rest of the assistant coaches, and your owners, and your head coach, it shows out there on the court. Now, the last three minutes, I don't know where that s— came from."
After inadvertently swearing on live television in reference to a series of late-game Warriors turnovers, Miller corrected his word choice to "stuff" and referred to himself as the "devil" to Jackson's "angel."
"But congratulations, guys," he concluded. "It's going to be great next round."
The No. 6 seed Warriors will face the No. 2 seed Spurs in a Western Conference semifinals series starting on Monday. Golden State and San Antonio split the season series 2-2 but the Spurs have won 29 straight home games against the Warriors and will possess homecourt advantage in the series.

Water Science and Research : Expert Reports
The division produces 60-70 reports per year. These reports are unique, authoritative expert evaluations. Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review. The experts who volunteer their time participating on study committees are vetted to make sure that the committee has the range of expertise needed to address the task, that they have a balance of perspectives, and to identify and eliminate members with conflicts of interest. All reports undergo a rigorous, independent peer review to assure that the statement of task has been addressed, that conclusions are adequately supported, and that all important issues raised by the reviewers are addressed. Thus, while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy.

The significance of epistolary greetings goes beyond identifying author and audience; it is more than saying hello. The author's salutation, however conventional and formal, specifies the nature of the relationship between author and audience and even draws lines around the conversation being carried on by the letter in hand. Meanings are more readily and rightly determined in terms of this "rhetorical relationship" formulated by the letter's opening words. Thus, Philemon and the others mentioned in verse 2 hear the following request for Onesimus's restoration in terms of Paul, whose importance (and therefore the legitimacy of his appeal) is made clear by his opening self-introduction: the author is a prisoner of Christ Jesus. It is a claim so important to Paul's purpose that he repeats it thrice in the body of this very short letter (vv. 9, 13, 23).
Paul's first audience is also made clear by his greeting. His address establishes an intimacy, even solidarity, with his readers—they are "dear brothers and sisters" and "coworkers and soldiers"—that can only increase the impact of his request and enhance the prospect of its compliance. And while it is true that Paul's salutation, found in verse 3, is rather conventional, it does present his essential understanding of what it means to belong to the church. He writes for the true Israel of God—an inclusive community called out of the world by the preaching of the gospel in order to bear witness to God's salvation within the world order (see commentary on Col 1:2). That is, the readers of Paul's letter must finally understand his subsequent request for Onesimus's restoration to reflect what it means to be the church and to do as the church ought.

Cellar/Tasting Notes For well over a decade, Morrell has been a fan of the Merlot based wine of Chateau Cadillac. From vines situated on a south facing slope of the Dordogne river in a district known as Fronsadais, the chateau produces a lovely cherried red, supple, fruit intensive and marvelously enjoyable when young.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fairly deep garnet-red. Distinctive fruity, spicy and vegetal nose. Round, robust and savory palate revealing more of the nose aromatics. Structure and freshness on the finish. A good wine that will appeal to lovers of classic Medoc.
Cellar/Tasting Notes A fruity and firm red, with berry and dried strawberry character, medium body and firm tannins. Well-structured Rosso di Montalcino. Drink now.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir, has a bright and pure color which is deep ruby red throughout. It has a silky smooth palate feel with good grip and layered tannins which frame the bright red fruits and earth which echo in the mouth. In short, this wine captures the aromatic fruit, earth and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino sweeps across the palate with superb richness and depth. Dark cherries, plums, spices, tobacco and menthol blossom as the wine opens up in the glass. A decidedly large-scaled, dramatic wine for the year, the 2008 impresses for its pure resonance and rich, enveloping..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Il Pino di Biserno is a rich wine endowed with considerable depth. Plums, blackberries, exotic spices, mocha and licorice are all woven together in this imposing, structured wine. The pedigree of the 2008 vintage comes through in spades. The 2008 is striking. I can't wait to see how this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Imperial Gran Reserva is firing on all cylinders. Smoked cured meats, balsamic notes of beeswax, antique shop and incense define the complex and elegant nose. The medium-bodied palate reveals an impressively powerful wine which manages to feel light on its feet. I needed to swallow a bit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes In Burgundy, "no other property is more valuable than the vines," thus the Domaine des Hospices de Beaune is built, reflecting the multitude of the greatest terroirs of Burgundy and generosity.
Arthur Girard bequeathed part of his worldly goods to the Hôtel-Dieu in 1936. This included..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished."

Core drilling makes for the best holes in concrete.
We need to run a discharge line for our sump pump. It will discharge to a ditch about 20 yards from the house. I cannot see burying it below the frost line but I do have some concerns about it freezing during early spring rains. (This spring we had several inches of rain while the ground was still frozen)
I am also wondering if I should run the pipe through the poured concrete foundation so the entire length is underground or exit through the sill plate and then down into the ground? What is the best way to make a clean 2" hole in poured concrete if we go that route?
Core drilling makes for the best holes in concrete.
Through the sill plate/band joist, indirect that line into a 4" pipe (SCH40) preferred and run the pipe daylight to grade.
If you run that same sized pipe that distance, you're setting yourself up for failure.
4" is the minimum sized pipe outside the building wall for sanitation and storm water runoff. (KY NPC)
It's done that way for reason, mainly to allow flow in maximum load scenarios along with the ability to properly clean and maintain with drain cleaning equipment.
Last edited by Dunbar Plumbing; 04-12-2008 at 03:15 PM.
Read what the end of this sentence means.
You also want to pitch the 4" drain line so that it drains dry and does not have sags where water can stand and freeze. An Ice Plug will effectivly end and drainage. Check with your local inspector as to what the minimum pitch is for 4" pipe. I would recommend using either schedule 40 PVC or, SDR-35. I would not use a lesser quality pipe.

Hotel Tonight is an iPhone and iPad app that offers awesome last-minute deals on hotels in 12 countries and over 80 destinations. It features a gorgeous design that does a great job of showing off the amenities of the hotels.
Instead of a boring list of locations with just text and maybe thumbnails, Hotel Tonight features long strips of beautiful photos to represent each location, and when you tap on a location, the list of available hotels are displayed as little stacks of photos.
When viewing a hotel, a collage of photos of the destination are displayed. You can scroll around indefinitely to view all the photos in different sizes, or tap on an image to view them full screen.
I recommend not browsing through Hotel Tonight unless you're actually in need of a hotel; otherwise, be warned that you may fall prey of the gorgeous presentation and plan a last minute getaway.
If you're planning a last minute trip somewhere, Hotel Tonight is a fantastic app for booking your hotel. They have a good range of average to upscale hotels to fit any budget.
Love this app! Used it for a night stay in Chicago. Quick and easy to book and I even had a $25 credit so my room ended up being super cheap! Definitely recommend it!
Nice man! I recently moved to Las Vegas, and besides the big Hotels I don't know what to recommend when my friends come to visit. This should help me.
Wow! I will have to check this app. I have many friends that look for rooms in different cities all the time. I never understand why they don't book in advance. This will definitely help! Thanks for the review!
This is a sexy app
I want to stay at The Out NYC but its so expensive.
Awesome APP for people who are on the go, plan last minute trips, who forget to book a hotel, who need a staycation, or who just want to save money !!
Use Promo Code GEDRA for $25 off your first booking, so then you save even more !!
Awesome App!! I love that you can see the EXACT hotel you're booking... and all of it's amenities with pictures! (Even the pet policies are listed, which is a huge plus for a dog parent!) I've used it a couple times and have had great rooms every time. Hello, $25 to stay in Vegas last minute? Some hotels even let you book multiple days! I've also stayed at the Red Lion on the River in Portland for only $66 using this! PLUS, They even give you $25 off your first booking... Use the promo code: CCOOLIDGE3 to get $25 off!
I love this app. I've stay at 2 hotels in Orlando and 1 in New Orleans. The hotels were awesome. The best deal I've ever found for a hotel hands down. You can use promo code Bgrant25 for a $25 credit off your first booking.

SOURCE Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today 22 groups, led by the Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund, sent a letter to the leaders of congressional tax-writing committees urging them to embrace tax policy solutions that can help curb the U.S. obesity epidemic. Groups including the NAACP, American Council on Exercise, National Association of County and City Health Officials, National Hispanic Medical Association and more than a dozen others pressed the leaders of the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways & Means Committee to advance tax incentives to improve access to the kinds of resources – like grocery stores, safe recreational spaces and other infrastructure – needed to bolster healthy living and curb obesity.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140123/PH51880LOGO )
With ongoing discussions in Congress about the shape of tax reform needed, the groups urged policymakers to craft needed tax measures that will
Since the U.S. obesity epidemic costs American taxpayers nearly $200 billion annually in health care expenditures alone, targeted tax policies that curb health care spending through reductions in U.S. obesity rates can generate meaningful long-term savings for the federal budget. All told, there are nearly 100 million Americans with obesity, which affects one in three American adults and one in five children.
"Traditionally, the tax code has been used to incent social and economic outcomes. If one of the single greatest expenses in the U.S. health care budget is the rising cost of obesity, we should consider thoughtful measures that will help the nation address this epidemic and reduce the associated costs to taxpayers," said Stephanie Silverman, co-founder of the Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund. "We must begin in the communities where obesity rates are highest, and resources are most scarce. The CEO Action Fund looks forward to working with other thought leaders and tax policymakers in Washington to advance an agenda that serves this urgent economic and health goal."
According to a December study by Ernst & Young authored by the former Assistant Treasury Secretary for Tax Analysis, there is one tax program in place – the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) – designed to drive infrastructure investment into distressed communities. The NMTC has prompted the creation of some new grocery stores and physical activity facilities in previously underserved neighborhoods. It expired at the end of 2013.
For additional information on the effort or the Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund's work, please visit www.obesityactionfund.org.
About the Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund: By bringing together leaders from across industry, academia and public health with policymakers and their advisors, the Campaign to End Obesity Action Fund advocates for policies needed combat obesity and to reverse one of the nation's costliest and most prevalent diseases.

Hello, I just wanted to say that I visited this school for a 2 week Summer Med Camp for High schoolers and I fell in love with this school. The other 44 students and I stayed on the 3rd floor of alice Lloyd, and we just had a great time there. It was a great experience for me. We got the opportunity to be taught by some of the professors who volunteered their time to us, and they was great. We took a campus tour on the first day actually, and that was when i realized how big and diverse the Univeristy of Michigan is. it is really great school and im hoping and praying that I'll get it. If you are even the least bit interested in this school, you should definately apply, all the waiting and the time dedicated to your appication and everything else is definately worth it. Good luck to all that apply!

Institute Takes On Environmental Education: Michael Sanera and Center for Environmental Education Research Join CEI
Institute Takes On Environmental Education: Michael Sanera and Center for Environmental Education Research Join CEI
March 23, 1999
Washington, D.C., March 24, 1999 – Efforts to educate children about environmental issues are hampered by inaccurate, biased, and misleading educational materials. A newly acquired project at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is designed to promote balance in environmental education.
The Center for Environmental Education Research (CEER) is a national leader in analyzing, critiquing, and reforming environmental education delivered to children in America's elementary and high school classrooms. CEER will continue to be headed by Dr. Michael Sanera, a new Senior Fellow at CEI, and nationally recognized expert on environmental education. Sanera is the author (with Jane Shaw) of Facts not Fear: A Parent's Guide to Teaching Children About the Environment (Regnery, 1996).
In the last four years, Dr. Sanera has analyzed the coverage of environmental issues in 130 textbooks and 170 children's books. This research shows that the vast majority of these books present a biased and one-sided view of environmental issues. Children are routinely presented with scientifically unfounded doomsday scenarios in classroom materials and encouraged to engage in political activism. To counter this disturbing trend CEER is focused on providing unbiased educational materials on environmental issues and helping promote reforms in state-based environmental education programs.
"We are delighted to bring Dr. Sanera and CEER on board at CEI," commented Fred L. Smith, Jr., president of CEI. "It is imperative that children receive a balanced and truthful education on environmental issues and CEER is leading the way in that effort."
Prior to joining CEI, CEER was known as the Environmental Education Research Institute, and was affiliated with the Center for the New West. CEER will be based out of Tucson, Arizona.
CEI, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy group founded in 1984, is dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government. For more information, contact Emily McGee, director of media relations, at 202-331-1010.

Interesting judgments. For the record, the progressive folks I am acquainted with bear no resemblance to such harsh characterizations. Nor do we believe "lies" about the Tea Party. We see what those people do, and form opinions based on their actions. (Like a pointless government shutdown that cost untold billions of dollars and put many hard-working Americans out of work, for example.) And we listen - first hand - to inflammatory divisive rhetoric and we are quite able to draw our own conclusions. Politicians like Palin and Cruz demonize themselves. Absolutely no need for the press to "spin" it for anyone.
Speaking of lies and spin, I would guess that much of what was written above this comment was likely informed by a media outlet that rhymes with "pox." The very "journalists" who went to court and proved they had the LEGAL RIGHT to lie to their viewers. How ironic.
There is no doubt our government needs some serious overhaul. What a shame that "we the people" can't seem to find a way to work together and make that happen.
"LEGAL RIGHT to lie to their viewers". What about the President who continues to lie to the American people?
But one of them did, so does that count?
One of the ringleaders of the rebels that did dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor was Samuel Adams. Not only did he sign the Declaration of Independence, and serve in Congress, but his manifesto spoke of 'natural rights' ( life and liberty). Thomas Jefferson incorporated those terms into the Declaration of Independence.in
If Sam Adams doesn't qualify as 'a founder', someone is setting the bar a little high -- apparently to argue a partisan position. Isn't there enough of that already?

A recent article by Alice Dreger, Ellen K. Feder, and Anne Tamar-Mattis documents the controversial application of prenatal dexamethasone in pregnant women. The impetus for this pharmacological therapy is to stop virilization in female fetuses that may be affected by a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) called 21-hydroxylase deficiency or 21-OHC CAH.
Don't allow the medical jargon to turn you away from what's taking place here: the steroid is administered to pregnant women with the goal of stamping out intersexed bodies while ultimately minimizing the likelihood that a female will grow to be butch, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender. Yes, you read that right. This is an ongoing medical project that is motivated by homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and cissexist ideals. Let's back up a bit and unpack some of the medical jargon that complicates our understanding of systemic hate.
CAH is a disease of the endocrine system (the hormone regulating mainframe of the body). There are variations of CAH and the one of interest here is 21-OHC CAH. 21-OHC CAH leads to an over production of androgens, which could lead to a genetic female fetus "developing along a more masculine pathway neurologically and genitally" (5). The term for this masculinization is virilization, which manifests in many ways but can lead to masculinized female genitalia, of which is a surface motivation (e.g. justification on grant applications) for the use of prenatal dexamethasone. CAH is a serious disease and as such, every U.S. state requires that newborns be screened for it. However, at case here are fetuses that may be affected by CAH, not newborns that are affected by it. The authors expose that 87.5% of those fetuses that are exposed to prenatal dexamethasone stood no chance to benefit from the therapy at all.
Prenatal dexamethasone is a steroid that is theoretically used to stop the effects of 21-OHC CAH. However, the drug is experimental and there is no substantial support for its use. In the U.S. it is categorized as "off-label," which means that it is not FDA approved. As it stands, there is very little known about the impact of the therapy but it may alter "fetal programming," which can result in serious metabolic problems that may not be apparent until adulthood. For 30 years, the steroid has been used to combat virilization in female fetuses and yet, little is known of its impact because there are few long-term studies that explore its impact—of those, the populations are not representative and the protocol does not meet national or international scientific standards. In fact, the Endocrine Society set up a task force to look at the effectiveness of the pharmacological therapy. The task force found very little support for the use of the steroid and "could not even say with confidence whether prenatal dexamethasone works to reduce genital virilization" (2).
Nonetheless, it has been administered to pregnant women on false pretenses. The pregnant women were/are not informed that the "off-label" steroid is experimental, that benefits and risks have not been established due to lack of adequate testing and scientific protocol, and that exposed fetuses are studied retrospectively effectively rendering moot any correlation between the drug and the fetus born one way and/or raised another.
The "most prominent promoter" of this therapy is Maria New, a pediatric endocrinologist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. By 2003, New has "treated" more than 600 pregnant women with dexamethasone in order to prevent virilization in CAH-affected female fetuses. That number is as high as 2,144 fetuses. This is where the story turns sour and scary—or more sour and scarier.
Despite a lack of support for prenatal dexamethasone Maria New insists that it "has been found safe for mother and child" (15-16). The authors of the article do some bold investigative work and turn to New's grant applications discovering some interesting motivations for the continued use of the steroid.
Those few studies that do exist show that girls affected with 21-OHD CAH exhibit "behavioral masculinization." These girls are on average "more interested in boy-typical play, hobbies, and subjects that non-affected females, less interested in becoming mothers, and more likely to grow up to be lesbian or bisexual" (6). Some clinicians find that of those females with 21-OHD CAH, 5% may ultimately identify as male. "Behavioral masculinization" is a euphemism for non-traditional gender performance or expression in women, females, and/or girls. It seems that the underlying motivation has less to do with ambiguous genitalia (which is problematic itself) and more to do with minimizing "tomboyism," non-heterosexuality, and trans* embodiment.
Interestingly, the U.S. National Institutes of Health have funded Maria New's work in figuring whether or not prenatal dexamethasone works to stop "behavioral masculinization." Said another way, the U.S. government funds New's work in stopping queerness and/or trans*ness in those potentially affected with 21-OHD CAH. Please, read that again for the sake of letting it sink in.
One justification for using prenatal dexamethasone is to minimize the chances of having a child that is intersex so that "corrective" surgeries will not be necessary. However, such "corrective" surgeries are elective and yet this reason is used as grounds to administer this potentially dangerous drug.
The unknown effects of prenatal dexamethasone are as potentially damaging and traumatic to intersex bodies as invasive "corrective" surgeries that claim to "fix" a problem when the problem isn't the fetus at all. The inspiration for this pharmacological therapy is stigma and anxieties surrounding intersexed and/or queer bodies. It is a medical intervention that works to ensure the production of relatively normative bodies no matter the cost to those that are at risk of teetering between cissex and intersex embodiment. The anxiety/fear-inspired application of prenatal dexamethasone points us to the intersection of sex, gender, and sexuality and those systems that work to keep them aligned more nicely.
Speaking to parents of children with CAH, Maria New "showed a picture of a girl with ambiguous genitalia and said: The challenge here is to see what could be done to restore this baby to the normal female appearance which would be compatible with her parents presenting her as a girl, with her eventually becoming somebody's wife, and having normal sexual development, and becoming a mother. And she has all the machinery for motherhood, and therefore nothing should stop that, if we can repair her surgically and help her psychologically to continue to grow and develop as a girl" (italics mine 6).
For New, the prominent cheerleader in prenatal dexamethasone therapy, girl/female/woman are one and the same and are heterosexual desiring motherhood and marriage. For New, queer variation is inconceivable. For New, prenatal dexamethasone is the ultimate in conversion therapy because it gets at the "problem" before it is a problem. It does so even though the long-term impact is unknown and potentially fatal. New, and her supporters, will do whatever it takes to ensure that queerness is squashed at every chance. For the record, you can contact Maria New at email@example.com.

Curriculum Development Kit for Gifted and Advanced Learners
Sandra Kaplan Ed.D., Michael W. Cannon
Prufrock Press,, 2010
The Curriculum Development Kit for Gifted and Advanced Learners offers exciting new approaches for teachers to differentiate instruction and provide a challenging curriculum that meets the needs of all students in the classroom. Developed by differentiated curriculum experts Sandra N. Kaplan and Michael W. Cannon, this kit is a time-saving tool for all teachers. The three types of curricular materials structured to promote the teaching and learning of the objectives found in the kit are lessons, catalyst cards, and curriculum grids. Lessons are built around 12 big ideas, concepts, and neglected skills (such as accessing information, argumentation, creative thinking, problem solving, and research and independent study), and give teachers valuable options to enhance and retool higher level instruction. The catalyst cards have been designed to allow students to experience subject matter that is rich in depth, complexity, and rigor. These alternative areas of study include aesthetics, anthropology, and epistemology and feature rigorous activities that can be used by the entire class, groups, or individually. The curriculum grids integrate the lessons, catalyst cards and other teacher material and provide a wide range of intriguing extensions for students.

This jello salad was both delicious and impressive! We used strawberries instead of raspberries and it turned out fabulous!
Really enjoyed making and serving this dish. So pretty and patriotic in the trifle dish! Refreshing, fun and different. A keeper!
This is a great go-to recipe when you need something to bring along. I've always gotten rave reviews; the middle layer is especially delicious. This is a fun recipe to switch up for any occasion, St. Patricks Day, etc. I just try not to mix gelatin types, citrus, berry, etc.
I have made this for the Fourth of July ever since the recipe came out in TOH originally. I use a 9 x 13 glass Pyrex dish, which makes the layers very thin, but it's easier to transport and serve. I like to use a few more berries than indicated.
This is SO-o good ! Have made it a few times. Each layer has its own flavor and all good. Mine seem to take longer to set. ?

This recipe is wonderful! I used the crust and topping part of the recipe with the apple pie filling I had frozen (http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/apple-pie-filling) and the two recipes complimented each other perfectly! I will definitely make it again and am also anxious to try the whole recipe when our apple tree bears again this fall.
Awesome! So easy to make and it tasted incredible. (I did add a bit of cinnamon.) We served with ice cream.
This is the Best Apple Pie Ever! My friends and family always request this. I follow the recipe exactly, no changes needed, the flavor is great. I make 10-12 every fall and freeze them for the rest of the winter
great and easy. Must add spices or its bland.
I took this pie to Thanksgiving and had never even attempted an apple pie. Wow, was it a hit!! There was one piece left when we were done and my dad claimed it for himself before anyone else could! I also added about 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. This pie is super easy and especially DELICIOUS!!!
