Information Technology Investment:
A Governmentwide Overview

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on overall federal information technology (IT) obligations, focusing on programs to identify IT investments that are at risk and in need of corrective action.
GAO found that: (1) the total amount of federal IT spending is unknown, since the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) does not collect comprehensive IT budget data on a governmentwide basis; (2) federal agencies do not generally break out IT obligations as separate line items in their budget documents, but they include this information within program or administrative costs; (3) OMB reported that executive branch agencies plan to obligate about $26.5 billion in IT-related funds in fiscal year (FY) 1996; (4) OMB does not require the reporting of some potentially significant types of IT spending, resulting in billions of dollars in unreported spending; (5) IT-related obligations have increased by about $4 billion since FY 1991, despite the decline in defense obligations; (6) 11 federal agencies have IT-related problems serious enough to be categorized as high-risk; and (7) these IT-related problems warrant increased congressional oversight to ensure that top agency management takes corrective action.

Best vegetarian in TO?
- c
- chloe74 May 1, 2003 10:05 AM
Does anyone have any recommendations for great vegetarian food in the city?
Some of my favourites are:
- The deli counter at The Big Carrot.
- Buddha Vegetarian and Cafe 668
- I usually get my Indian food at The Indian Kitchen (just off Yonge, north of Steeles)
- Salad King
- New Generation Sushi (great veggie sushi)
I'm always looking for new things to try!
re: Devo
Hey veggieites!
I absolutely love the eggplant sandwich at California Sandwiches...the one I go to is in Woodbridge at the Piazza Del Sol plaza at Hwy 7 and Weston Rd. It's really really good...get it with mushrooms, onions and hot pepper if you want a kick. They also have a grilled veggie sandwich..but I'm more partial to the eggplant now..
I used to go to Lotus Garden on Dundas just past the Art Gallery of Ontario...it's pure veggie..not sure if it's still there anymore..haven't been in months...
Love the Nature Burger at Lick's Homeburgers...they cook it on a separate grill too...
That's all for now...I'll post again if I think of something else..
If you eat dairy (or fish too, like me) and like Italian, Gio Rana's Really, Really, Really Good Restaurant (one less really?) on the corner of Queen E and Leslie has some great selections (try the crespelle)
For quicker meals, I'll have to vouch for Juice for Life at 521 Bloor Street West in the Annex. My only quibble is that they use canola oil - a.k.a. rapeseed oil - yuck! But my 'lil sis works there and the fresh juices are amazing.
I worked for ages at the Vegetarian Restaurant in the Junction, corner of 2849 Dundas St. & Keele St. I happen to think the food is spectacular and I know what effort and love goes into fine tuning every dish they serve, so it totally comes from the heart!
Unlike Juice for Life, it is more of a cosy sit down place and good for entertaining, mother's day, etc. Daily specials, great homemade soups that change all the time, desserts baked next door (where they also make all the tofu/tempeh/veggie burgers/soy milk that we cooked with!) Try the amazing tofu nuggets with soy mayo dip, or the vegan ceasar salad with blackened tempeh. The veggie burgers are also delish, especially the soft tofu burger which, because of the perishable ingredients, is made from a fresh mix and so is quite different to the veggie burgers made next door.
You can buy a lot of the dishes to take home from the small market section - I used to keep a bag of veggie burgers in the freezer for easy meals!
The menu may have changed a bit since I left Toronto four years ago, and I understand they're now doing a brunch menu at weekends which I haven't tried - but I'm sure it's great.
My only comment would be that I never loved the decor - it's a little on the pastel/floral side, and I don't like the music. The managers always preferred to play classical or music they find relaxing or inspirational. I used get away with slipping in Astrud Gilberto or the Beach Boys, so maybe try and go when the younger staff are supervising, as we were always trying to make things a bit cooler! :-)
So people with modern taste may not like that side of things. However, when you're getting great food... you can deal with the chintz.
re: torontonian in the uk
Ahhh ... The Vegetarian Restaurant. Unfortunately it's a bit too far west for me nowadays, and I never get out to that part of the city.
It used to be a favourite restaurant of mine in the 1970s, when it was on Yonge Street. I still remember the burritos, there!
Of course, I also remember the Groaning Board, where we used to get a great salad bar, while watching the newsreels on the Cannes Ad Festival.
Do folks know there's a Commensal here?
Le Commensal is a vegetarian institution in Montreal and they have opened a location in downtown Toronto. The address says Bay street, but the door is on Elm Street.
They have a buffet and you pay by weight so if you are saving pennies, go for the light food (!).
They seem to carry food for all - from the veggie who wants wine with a meal, to the strict macrobiotic.
Very casual and not for those who are looking for ambiance or service. If you know what you're doing and with a little luck (it kind of depends what's on the menu for the day and how recently the food you like came out) you can craft a great meal.
well, to start off with, we visited le commensal on Elm a view times, and really wasn't too impressed iwth it. Yes, they have a variety of salad selection, but the food is just average, and with the paying by weight system, the price can really add up. They do have reasonable desserts though.
My favorite is a lesser known place at Kinsington Market called King's Cafe. (I can't remember the exact address, but the area is small, I am sure you won't miss it). Good ambience, classy deco, awesome service, what more can you ask? Wonderful selection of fusion food. Great Chai too!
Lotus Garden at Spadina and Dundas is also a favorite. I am not big fan of faux meat, but you should definetely try their braised "eel". MMMM....yum.....
Oh, and if you are in the mood for some burger, Lick's would be my pick
Juice for life is always a good place to bring your non-vegetarian friends.
As for Indian cuisine, I would suggest you try The Host. It's fairly pricy for an Indian restaurant, but the food is very well executed. The chef is always happy to accomodate other dietery needs. (good service)
I was at Sunny cafe on bloor once. Food is average. As my meat-loving BF puts it: "it's just your typical vegetarian food - dry and crumbly".
re: VegOut
Ok so I don't advocate Commencal as the best in TO. I just haven't heard buzz around it like in Montreal.
Fair enough.
On the Veggie Chinese track... the Taro Fish at Lee Gardens on Spadina was unbelieeeeeeeeeveable.
re: Heather
I have been to Fressen a couple of times. The food it good, but not great. The best part is the bread basket at the beginning. They make their own bread and serve it with a great olive tapenade. The side dishes (that come with the entrees) are also great. They have a really great sweet potato mash.
I agree with the Cafe 668, but I much prefer Simon's Wok for Chinese vegetarian food. We've been to Buddha's a number of times, and found the food to be a bit too hearty. Simon's Wok has a lighter touch.
While I'm remembering vegetarian restaurants, another favourite is Annapurna, on Bathurst Street, south of Dupont. They've always got an interesting touch with spices, and I seem to recall it's completely vegan. (Yes, there a pictures of their religious order on the walls, but they don't even mention it)
I just want to post another message extolling the virtues of Lotus Garden. It is Vietnamese, very cheap, and although there may be too much fake meat, the extensive menu is a plus. Not to mention the Jicama cold rolls! Delish! They also have some very interesting and unusual drinks.

This animal is fortunate to have the best of both worlds: good care due to being partially disabled and still frequent freedom to fly and soar. The only way to keep an animal in captivity, as I see it! Good work, great article.

Trapping nuisance animals has never been easier! Patented Easy Set® technology allows you to set your trap with one pull of a lever. Expert-tested and proven effective, Havahart® Easy Set® traps are the most robust traps on the market, contructed with rust-resistant galvanized steel and strudy hardware, making the handling experience safe and comfortable.
Simply bait the trap and then pull back the Easy Set® lever to set it with a single hand. The trip plate's sensitivity targets the animal's specific size and weight, while a solid spring-loaded door ensures a quick and secure capture. To release, just stand to the rear of the cage and pull back the Easy Set® lever. It's that easy - no more destructive digging, and no more tipped trash cans!
Inside the cage, smooth, rounded edges and a strudy door lock keep the animal safely inside, while a solid hand guard limits contact with the carrier. And a rigid carry handle makes it easy to carry even large animals at a safe distance.
Havahart® traps are designed and tested by trapping professionals for the best efficacy and strength in the industry. Constructed of premium galvanized steel for added durability, these traps stand up to the test of time. And with the added features of a patented lever and enlarged handle guard, Easy Set® is the premium choice.

"Squirrels dig up all the seeds I planted. Rabbits eat up all my crops". So here comes Havahart Live Trap Model # 1084.This trap has been bringing peace to my entire family just in 5 days since I bought it (on Ebay). 1 large squirrel is trapped each day, and I believe I would get more than just 1 per day if no one in the family has to leave home. 5 large squirrels were trapped in 5 days, and were released into the same woods. The very 1st one after being caught escaped due to my 1st time being unfamiliar with the cage, thus mistakenly I picked up the Easy Set® lever instead of the handle. Well, I was not happy at all, but so far I see less digging in the yard, and so all the seeds I planted would have a chance to germinate this year. This trap works 110% well. I just ordered 1 more with the same model # from the same Ebay seller. Now that I am in a process of trapping the extremely nuisance rabbits that eat up the crops & destroy my whole garden every year. I am very glad I have finally found a CURE to deal with these pestering animals. GREAT PRODUCT, HAVAHART!!!!!
I bought this trap to regain control of my yard from rabbits. It has been working well as I have captured five rabbits in the last 11 days (four in the first five days).The trap is just the right size (#1084) and constructed well.Some tips:1. Place the trap where you see rabbits regularly.2. For the first few days, don't be discouraged if you do not catch anything. I believe the animals have to get used to seeing it and the human-type smells have to wear off the new trap.3. Keep the bait fresh on a regular basis.4. I found the rabbits I am trapping like apples. The scent drives them to the bait. Every other day I slice off a fresh face to the bait to keep the aroma going.The trap is well constructed and will be in use for years to come.
Hello Mike, We are delighted to hear that you have been having such great success with the Havahart® Medium 1-Door Easy Set® Trap (model 1084) trap and find it to be a reliable tool in catching the rabbits in your area. It sounds like you are quickly becoming an expert at catching rabbits. Be sure to release the animal far away enough from your home, so that they will have difficulty returning. We usually recommend at least 5 miles away from the capture location. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242).

Ryan and Ethan Caulfield from Tramore, Co.Waterford have recently been diagnosed with ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy) - a rare metabolic disorder that progressively leads to neurological deterioration.
The two young boys' dad Jimmy is from Woodlawn in the Bronx. Events have been arranged in the area in the upcoming months in aid of Ryan (6) and Ethan (4).
The first, a charity boxing night, will take place at The Rambling House, Katonah avenue, Bronx, on January 4. Details to follow.
The Rambling House will also host a benefit on Saturday February 16, commencing at 3pm. to raise money for this great cause. There will be live music and raffles on the day/night.
All the money will go to the Caulfield family to offset the medical expenses they will incur as Ryan and Ethan undergo bone marrow transplants. These transplants will hopefully stop the progression of ALD in these two young beautiful boys.

January 2005
Native Americans make up one of the most neglected populations in the United States. Centuries of violence, disease, and unjust government policies have created a host of social problems in Native American communities. Suicide is second highest cause of death for American Indians and Alaska Natives aged 15 to 24 and the third cause of death for Native American children aged 10 to 14.1 Native Americans have among the highest rates of diabetes and chronic kidney failure.2 The poverty rate on Native American reservations is 31%, the highest poverty rate in America. Approximately 46% of Native Americans are unemployed.3 The following article from the Native American Times details how Native American women are disproportionately affected by the social and economic problems plaguing their community.
From Native American Times
"Indian women in dire straits, report states:
featured in bottom of statistics across the board"
December 6, 2004*
A new report shows that Native American women have lower social and economic status than white women throughout the U.S., with lower earnings, less education, more poverty, and worse health status. The Status of Women in the States, written by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, reports that the median annual earnings of Native American women who work full-time, full-year in the U.S. are $25,000, and they make only 58 cents for every dollar white men in the country make. The report says 25% - one in four – of American Indian women in the U.S. live in poverty. The number is even greater for Native American single mothers: more than a third (38%) of families headed by a Native American single mother live in poverty.
NCAI [National Congress of American Indians] Executive Director Jacqueline Johnson said the report reflects a troubling degree of inequality for Native American and Alaska Native women in the areas of political participation, employment and earnings, social and economic autonomy, and health and well being.
"Effective federal, state and local policies to lower American Indian women's poverty rates are greatly needed to address these disparities," Johnson said. "Ways to address these inequities include emphasis on educational attainment, enforcement of equal opportunity laws, payment of living wages, increased access to affordable child care, and providing adequate health and leave benefits."
The differences between Native women who live in urban and rural areas are even more pronounced. In non-metro area, those working full-time, full-year make only $23,200, and women in metro areas make $27,600. When women who work less than full-time are included in the figures, the picture is bleaker. Native women who live in non-metro areas make only $15,000, and those who live in metro areas make $18,800.
Differences also abound from state to state. Native American women's earnings range from a high of $38,700 in Connecticut to a low of $19,900 in North Dakota. American Indian women in Virginia are the least likely of Native women to be poor, with 11% living in poverty, while almost half of American Indian women in South Dakota do (45%).
*This article is reprinted with permission from the Native Times
"Government at all levels should put forth an effort to recruit American Indian women into training and education programs that will offer them higher paying opportunities and positions and help close the wage gap," Johnson said.
A smaller proportion of Native American women (30%) in the country work in managerial or professional jobs, compared with 36% of all women. Only 12% of Native American women serve in statewide elected executive offices in any state in the country. As of October 2004, there were 10 Native American women serving in state legislatures in 5 states across the country, out of a possible 7,382 seats. In comparison, there were 1,355 white women serving, 215 African American women, 58 Hispanic women, and 23 Asian American women.
Johnson said political participation is a viable method for American Indian women to shape the policies that affect their lives. NCAI sought to increase the involvement of all American Indian people in the political process through the Native Vote 2004 campaign. She said success stories include Peggy Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, who was elected to the Minneapolis school board and Cecelia Fire Thunder, who recently became the first woman elected president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. In addition, a Chickasaw woman, Lisa J. Billy, was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. More efforts like these are needed to include Indian women in the political process.
Health disparities also characterize Native women's experience in the United States. Only 69% of Native American mothers begin prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy, compared with the rate of 83% for all women. The death rate for American Indian infants is also higher; nearly 10 American Indian babies in 100,000 die before their first birthday, compared with nearly 6 white babies in 100,000. The rate of AIDS for Native American women is more than twice that of white women, although Native American women have lower mortality rates of heart disease and breast cancer than most other women.
"It is critically important to support and fund new research on American Indian women. Many data sources are out of date or incomplete. In order to adequately address the problems facing Indian women we need reliable statistics to describe the quality of American Indian women's lives and experiences," Johnson said. "Researchers don't know enough about many of the serious issues affecting American Indian women's lives because Indian women do not yet have sufficient political or economic power to demand the necessary data. NCAI is working hard to address these issues for the benefit of all Indian people."
"The data in this report clearly show the many challenges faced by Native American women in this country," says Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Women's Policy Research. "We hope that the report will serve as a springboard to energize policymakers to improve the status of Native American women."
Native women would clearly benefit from policies and practices designed to lessen both race- and sex-based inequalities that have combined to discriminate against American Indian women. The Status of Women in the States recommends public and private policies to improve the status of women, including:

Congressman Bob Goodlatte issued the following statement after the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords:
"I was shocked and saddened to hear of the senseless act of violence that occurred today against Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, her staff and members of the Tucson community.
"Just two days ago Gabby joined me and other Members of Congress in reading aloud the U.S. Constitution on the House Floor. It was my privilege to yield to Gabby to read the 1st Amendment and today she and those participating in her 'Congress on the Corner' event were exercising their 1st Amendment freedoms. It is unconscionable that anyone would take violent action to deprive someone of their life or liberty.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Gabby, her family, her staff and others who were affected by today's tragic events in Tucson."

Coupe cocktail glasses
- MC Slim JB Jun 3, 2009 02:59 PM
The triangular cocktail glass, what many people think of as the classic "martini glass", didn't really catch on until the Fifties. The curved-bottomed coupe, what Marliave uses for most of its up cocktails, is actually more authentic for a place trying to recall its pre-Prohibition roots. (Check out the old movies; The Thin Man drinks his martinis out of coupes.) You'll see those glasses at a lot of high-craft cocktail bars these days. I like them, am trying to find some for my home bar, preferably vintage, but I'd settle for new.
re: Northender
I do assiduously carve out an inordinate amount of time and disposable income for my number-one hobby. Having the professional gigs provides a useful subsidy.
Nick Charles is the Thin Man I was referring to, though actually in the first movie, the Thin Man was the murder victim. But moviegoers associated the title with William Powell's character, so that's how they marketed it in the five sequels.
I actually do more pre-dinner cocktails at home now, one of my recessionary cost-saving measures. I always had a pretty elaborate home bar set-up, but it's gotten bigger since the B-Side and its successors came along. I didn't always have Benedictine or Chartreuse on hand. I just added some essentials for real Tiki cocktails: falernum, orgeat, allspice dram, more rums. Looking forward to getting the ice shaver going this summer.
re: MC Slim JB
I live vicariously through you. (falernum and orgeat? - time for a Google search I am still working on Peychaud's bitters (sp))
Parenthetically, I think there was also, ever so briefly, a "Thin Man" TV series in the Fifties starring Peter Lawford as Nick Charles. I forget who played Nora. I was just a wee lad at the time but perhaps that is where I first became interested in properly made cocktails in appropriate stemware.
re: phatchris
You can find the Stork Club coupe glasses here:
I agree - love when a place uses coupes. And big fan of Nick and Nora - have the collection of all six Thin Man movies on DVD ; )
BTW, I've only been to the Marliave twice, but had a nice time and enjoyed the food on both visits (especially the rarebits, clam chowder and fresh oysters). Drank wine though; the only mixed drink I've tried was a well-made Bloody Mary.
I had a hard time finding coupes too. Best bet for finding coupes (especially sets) are second-hand or antique stores in the 'burbs. Can't seem to find any I like on Ebay or new.
re: Rubee
I am a thin man nut. Though the first three are considered the best. Gotta love those tiny cocktail glasses.
One of my favorite scenes in any movie is when he is in the park with their son 10-12 stories below in Central Park and the Nora wants to summon him.
The maid knows just the trick and starts to shake a batch of cocktails. An impossible distance away, Nick somehow senses the inaudible tinkle of the shaker and let's their son know it's time to head upstairs ;-).
re: StriperGuy
That's too funny! My favorite scene too (I think it's in "Shadow of a Thin Man"?) - the one I tell fellow cocktail lovers about to get them to watch the movies. IIRC, he's supposed to be entertaining his son in the park, so he's reading the racing form out loud as if it's a fairytale. Hmmm...might just have to enjoy some martinis while watching the Belmont this weekend. ; )
re: StriperGuy
Oh yah. I think drinking martinis out of coupes while watching the Belmont is officially a new tradition!
I was oh-so-close on my Belmont exacta box (betting on first and second). Had the winner Summer Bird, but had Mine That Bird for second and he came in third. But even better pay-out is we hit the Pick 4! Hmmm..now which restaurant should I make reservations to celebrate at tonight? ; )
Well if I ever see any vintage ones, I will let you know MC. I respect the history behind the glass, but the execution of the drink is the final judgement, and a simple martini, however historically authentic, lacked what time may have perfected.
Perhaps the glass works with their prohibition drinks better. Do they chill the coupes? I dont recall. I just recall a mediocre most basic of drinks, a dry vodka martini.
Now that risotto dish I had a few months ago - - - sublime!
re: galleygirl
Or this, perhaps, for new ones?
re: galleygirl
Okay, I love these, one of you should buy them, they're deal...
re: galleygirl
Being the glass nut, I know all of those glasses above and they are all too big. Not real 1920s sized glasses intended for cocktails. The ebay ones are much more recent vintage.
I have some smallish vaseline glass depression era cocktails that are the traditional cocktail shape but about 1/2 to 1/3 the size of a modern cocktail. Those are the closest I have.
Here are some closer examples:
re: StriperGuy
I found about a hundred! Most give actual measurements; what are the actual measurements of coupes? I searched champagne glasses, BTW...
re: StriperGuy
Hmmm, I actually have one of those chrome based ones....Of course, I find it too small for a beverage; that must be why Nick and Nora were constantly mixing up more!
re: StriperGuy
Since you are a glass nut, maybe you can help. I bought a bunch of glasses at an online auction and they turned out to be soooo much smaller than I expected. Can you tell me for what they are used? They hold one ounce and measure only 1 1/2" high. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
re: marlaz
That is likely a sherbet glass, or a very small compote both for serving a dollop of sweets, that shape is too flat to have been intended for a cocktail.
re: galleygirl
Have a large set of these from tiny stemmed cordials, to wines, to champagnes.
Don't know if you've found one yet, but for posterity, Boston Shaker sells new ones:
This is a pretty old thread but I thought I'd pipe in to report that I find all the best glasses at my local Goodwill in the 'burbs. Just picked up a bunch of tiny coupe cocktail glasses and some small stemless glasses that I'm not sure what you'd call. All for less than a dollar each.
MY favorite Thin Man scene is when a reporter asks Nora if he's [Nick] is working on a case.
"Yes," she replies. "A case of scotch."

Rubidium: geological information
Rubidium is far too reactive to be found as the free metal in nature. It is relatively rare, although it is the 16th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Rubidium is present in some minerals found in North America, South Africa, Russia, and Canada. It is found in some potassium minerals (lepidolites, biotites, feldspar, carnallite), sometimes with caesium as well.
Abundances of rubidium in various environments
In this table of abundances, values are given in units of ppb (parts per billion; 1 billion = 109), both in terms of weight and in terms of numbers of atoms. Values for abundances are difficult to determine with certainty, so all values should be treated with some caution, especially so for the less common elements. Local concentrations of any element can vary from those given here an orders of magnitude or so and values in various literature sources for less common elements do seem to vary considerably.
The chart above shows the log of the abundance (on a parts per billion scale) of the elements by atom number in our sun. Notice the "sawtooth" effect where elements with even atomic numbers tend to be more strongly represented than those with odd atomic numbers. This shows up best using the "Bar chart" option on the chart.

Nature has hardly formed a woman ugly enough to be insensible to flattery upon her person.Lord Chesterfield
Every human should have the idea of taking care of the environment, of nature, of water. So using too much or wasting water should have some kind of feeling or sense of concern. Some sort of responsibility and with that, a sense of disciplineThe 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso
The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and in the passive.William Ralph Inge
A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be, according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulnessWilliam Graham Sumner
When Cicero consulted the oracle at Delphos, concerning what course of studies he should pursue, the answer was, "Follow Nature." If every one would do this, affectation would be almost unknownJ. Beaumont
To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the childRalph Waldo Emerson
The advance of freedom is the calling of our time; it is the calling of our country. From the Fourteen Points to the Four Freedoms, to the Speech at Westminster, America has put our power at the service of principle. We believe that liberty is the design of nature; we believe that liberty is the direction of history. We believe that human fulfillment and excellence come in the responsible exercise of liberty. And we believe that freedom the freedom we prize is not for us alone, it is the right and the capacity of all mankind.George Walker Bush
The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.William Ellery Channing
Another powerful principle of our nature, which is the spring of war, is the passion for superiority, for triumph, for power. The human mind is aspiring, impatient of inferiority, and eager for preeminence and control.William Ellery Channing
Insanity is not a distinct and separate empire; our ordinary life borders upon it, and we cross the frontier in some part of our nature.Henri Taine
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.Guillaume Apollinaire
Whenever man comes up with a better mousetrap, nature immediately comes up with a better mouse.James Carswell
To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language.William Cullen Bryant
I dedicate this book to the man who inspired it to the man who of all men past and present that I have known has the most exalted moral nature.Richard Maurice Bucke
It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.Lao Tzu
Man reacts upon and toward the external universe in three ways, namely, by his active nature ; by his intellectual nature ; by his moral nature that is, he acts upon it, thinks about it, and feels toward it.Richard Maurice Bucke
Geology holds the keys of one of the kingdoms of nature; and it cannot be said that a science which extends our Knowledge, and by consequence our Power, over a third part of nature, holds a low place among intellectual employments.William Buckland
Mother Nature gives a sense of romance to young people, in place of prudence, to advance the species. It's a trickthat makes us grow.Lois McMaster Bujold
Blatant idiocies had been tried by early men and womenfoolishness that would never have been considered by species aware of the laws of nature. Desperate superstitions had bred during the savage centuries. Styles of government, intrigues, philosophies were tested with abandon. It was almost as if Orphan Earth had been a planetary laboratory, upon which a series of senseless and bizarre experiments were tried.William M. Kucmierowski
The discoveries of science, the works of art are explorations more, are explosions, of a hidden likeness. The discoverer or the artist presents in them two aspects of nature and fuses them into one. This is the act of creation, in which an original thought is born, and it is the same act in original science and original art.Jacob Bronowski
Nature is more subtle, more deeply intertwined and more strangely integrated than any of our pictures of her than any of our errors. It is not merely that our pictures are not full enough; each of our pictures in the end turns out to be so basically mistaken that the marvel is that it worked at all.Jacob Bronowski
Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now? Since passion may not fire thee Shall Nature cease to bow? Thy mind is ever moving In regions dark to thee; Recall its useless roving Come back and dwell with meEmily Jane Bront

These ballet slippers may not be toe shoes, but their terry-lined feet and non-skid bottoms will make you a little more cozy and safe when pirouetting on the kitchen floor. Their pretend ribbons appear to tie in the back forming an inverted heart.

We think these should be comfortable up to 14 inches around at their tops.

Everyone who ever held a security clearance understands the seriousness of any breech of the trust it signifies.There is no clearcut standard by which to decide when and if your true duty is to "obey the law" or to realize that your town has a crooked sheriff.It is true that Snowden violated his oath and breeched the trust, but it is also true that had he not done so "we the people" would still be in the dark about the wholesale shredding of our constitution that he exposed. Which would be the worse for the country?In 50 years Snowden may be seen by Americans much as Germans today view the memory of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg. Shot by a firing squad as a traitor, Stauffenberg is honored as a hero today.If there had been an "honorable" avenue to pursue neither man would likely have taken the course he chose.

We have a frightening intrusion by our government - and the government was (and is) bold face lying to us. Almost every day. Look at the IRS lying, look at the VA scandal lying. Wake up for goodness sake!The judges and all the rest who allowed our 4th amendment rights to be taken away should be in jail.Listen, we do not need our military to protect us at home. The NSA is evil for spying on the people. EVIL. The 2nd amendment is all we need and our forefathers knew that the 2nd amendment would keep us safe from our military. Yes, the people of the US with their right to bear arms has greater might than the US military.I hate it how the NSA says that they want to protect us at home. Go out and do your job and leave us alone.

Securing the Global Supply Chain: FDA's or Industry's Responsibility?
At a joint session of the PharmTech Conference and the 4th Annual Manufacturing Execution System in Life-Sciences Congress earlier this month, during my opening remarks, I discussed FDA's proposed budget increase of $166 million and 346 FTEs toward Medical Product Supply Chain Safety and Security Oversight. The globalization of manufacturing and supply of medical products has created unique and demanding challenges for industry and FDA alike. Yet, according to a recent Axendia study on QMS trends in Life-Sciences, only 34% of respondents reported view global quality data in real time. Read more »

When it comes to dental hygiene, I try to do my best. Brushing, flossing and using mouthwash are all part of my twice-a-day routine. But despite my constant efforts, I'm not always so saintly — particularly when it comes to limiting sweets. A sucker for all things chocolate and gummy, I have often thought how much more convenient it would be if sweets were somehow good for our teeth. Imagine my excitement when I heard about Crest's new Be Adventurous line of toothpastes, which includes a — wait for it — chocolate toothpaste. Yes, chocolate toothpaste.Marketed as an exciting alternative to the mint- and cinnamon-flavored pastes most of us use, Crest's Be Adventurous toothpastes are reportedly loaded with delicious flavor while still offering the usual oral health benefits such as cavity protection, breath freshening and whitening. There are only three flavors in the line, all with exciting and tasty-sounding names: Mint Chocolate Trek, Vanilla Mint Spark and Lime Spearmint Zest. Eager to try them, I scanned the shelves at Walgreens, Kroger and Target before finally tracking them down at CVS. To my surprise, they were almost sold out. All the tubes of the Lime Spearmint Zest were gone and only a lone tube each of the Mint Chocolate Trek and Vanilla Mint Spark were left. I grabbed them, paid $4.99 apiece and headed home.First impressionI began my experiment with the obvious favorite, Mint Chocolate Trek. Unscrewing the cap gave me a big whiff of chocolate frosting. So far so good. Squeezing the paste onto my brush, I initially expected to see brown. Instead, the paste resembled mint chocolate chip ice cream: mint green color with flecks of brown. Brushing with this paste turned out to be everything I had expected and more. The toothpaste was extremely flavorful, so much so that it kept its delicious taste from beginning to end. However, it did feel weird to brush with a paste that tasted like an Andes mint. The big surprise, though, came as I prepared to rinse. Spitting out the remaining paste, I'd expected a great aftertaste. Instead, I got a mouth full of grit. Yuk.I moved on to the Vanilla Mint Spark, which gave me the impression of a typical mint toothpaste mixed with vanilla frosting. (Are we seeing a trend here or did I just have frosting on the brain?) Visually, it looked unremarkable — just a basic white paste. On the brush and in your mouth, however, it was extremely refreshing and flavorful. The mint definitely overpowered the vanilla flavor, but the ultimate result was a cool, crisp aftertaste. A far cry from the grittiness of the Mint Chocolate Trek. Fab or flub?Neither, really. While I found both toothpastes tasty, I can't say I was completely won over by either of them. Brushing with the Mint Chocolate Trek was undoubtedly a pleasant experience, and probably the best tooth brushing experience I've ever had. The weird grittiness it left behind, however? Not so great. Even after several rinses, I still felt the urge to brush my teeth with my regular paste. The Vanilla Mint Spark, on the other hand, was awesome from start to finish. The taste was great and it left my mouth feeling refreshed. So why am I hesitant to sing its praises? I think the pleasant taste is not that different than regular mint toothpaste's. Given its $5 price and big promises, it didn't quite deliver. The Vanilla Mint Spark is nice, but I found it to be more ordinary than extraordinary.So, will I be incorporating either of these toothpastes into my regular dental routine? No. Am I glad I tried them? Sure. The Crest Be Adventurous toothpastes are worth trying at least once, just for the novelty. Beyond that, it doesn't seem worth it.
