Leaders learn how to conduct effective change discussions that minimize the potentially negative effects of change on morale, processes, and productivity.
SETTING PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS (4 hours)
Helps leaders prepare for and conduct planning discussions, encourage continued involvement, and work with project teams or task forces on their performance plans.
COACHING FOR SUCCESS (4 hours)
Introduces skills for guiding individuals and teams toward achieving successful results. Leaders learn the importance of helping people learn from successes rather than mistakes, how to balance seeking and telling, and how to conduct an effective coaching discussion.
HIGH-IMPACT FEEDBACK AND LISTENING (4 hours)
This module will equip employees with the skills they need to communicate clearly and listen carefully.
RESOLVING CONFLICT (4 hours)

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING (4 hours)
Creating and maintaining a healthy attitude is imperative to the success of an individual as well as an entire organization. A positive environment can increase productivity and improve morale, quality, customer satisfaction, etc. However, at any given time, there can be individuals or groups of individuals who delight in depositing their negativity here and there. If not detected and eliminated quickly, this attitude can spread throughout the organization with alarming speed. This program will provide participants with the tools to recognize when there is an attitude problem and the steps necessary to correct it.

It's what most want to believe, but the facts get in the way, as explained by my other brother Bill. UB
Saying Goodbye to the Borrow and Spend Economy
by Bill Bonner
London, England
Let's get this straight.
Household credit is shrinking...
Profits are shrinking...
Employment is shrinking...
Housing values are shrinking...
The wage base is shrinking...
But the recession is over!
Whoa...how is that possible?
This weekend's news brought no surprises. For example, the housing picture is still depressing - unless you're a buyer.
There's "no bottom in sight" to Florida condo prices, says Barron's. And Reuters warns that option ARM mortgages "are about to explode." At least, that's what the attorney general of the sovereign state of Iowa says. The option gives the homeowner the right to pay only the interest (or in some cases less than the interest) for the first few years. They're sometimes called IO mortgages (interest only). And now these mortgages, written at the height of the bubble, are beginning to reset to more normal terms. According to Reuters, 128,000 people in Arizona alone will face reset IO mortgages next year.
How much more will these people have to pay? Between 5 and 10 times what they're paying now. Almost all these homeowners are underwater. They bought at the bubbliest period. How many of them can afford a 400% increase in their mortgage payments? How many of them will be willing to pay?
Not many. That's why a new wave of foreclosures is coming. And that's why house prices are likely to keep going down; the supply is going to increase, while the demand (willing and able buyers) will probably stay steady.
Meanwhile, the California jobless rate has risen above 12%.
But let's go back to the first item - shrinking consumer credit. This is the key thing. The expansion of the US economy - broadly speaking - from 1945 to 2007 depended on consumers' willingness to go further into debt. Wages rose during the first half of that period - supporting consumption. But as the great boom continued, more and more of it was based on credit, not on wages. At the end, it was almost all credit expansion. Consumers weren't earning more money...nevertheless, they kept spending more and more money. How did they do it? By borrowing.
Without this borrowing the economy would not have grown.
And now what's happening? Well, consumers aren't borrowing anymore. Consumer credit is going the other way, shrinking rather than growing.
The feds are trying to counteract this major trend. This year, they're borrowing $1.7 trillion. Consumers won't borrow; no problem, the feds will borrow for them!
[And this, if for no other reason, is a clear indication that the proclaimed recovery of the US economy is nothing more than an elaborate rip-off. Don't be fooled by Big Ben's "the recession is over" nonsense. Click here to protect yourself and your investments.]
So far, the feds have put at risk about $13 trillion in order to counteract the downturn. This is about equal to the amount that Americans had lost in the crash. But while the crash wiped out $13 trillion in housing and stock market wealth, the feds have no obvious way to put the money back. Banks were easy to reflate. Bankers and federales are tight with each other; they're happy to share out the taxpayers' money. But getting money to the consumer is a different matter. The banks don't lend and the consumers don't borrow.
Of the $13 trillion the feds have put at risk...very little has actually made its way to the consumer economy. Result: no new boom in consumer spending...no new boom in hiring...no new boom in production or profits.
Pity the poor investors who are counting on a bull market. Profits aren't increasing. So the increase in stock prices is based on an increase in the multiple. As stocks rise, investors pay more for each dollar of earnings. Unless there is a big boom coming, this will turn out to be a mistake.
The Dow rose 36 points on Friday. Gold ended the day at $1008. And the dollar keeps sinking; on Friday, American visitors to Europe found that it cost $.147 per euro.
More news from Ian Mathias at The 5 Min. Forecast...
"We hear from every corner of Washington that the recession is over," writes Ian in today's issue of The 5. "According to the stock market, a recovery is underway. But did someone forget to tell the bond traders?
"Here are two recent US treasury yield curves - June 2009, when the recession (we're told) was just beginning to end; and today, supposedly in the early stages of recovery.
We admit, we're not bond experts... But isn't the yield curve supposed to grow and steepen when recovery is on the horizon? If Ben Bernanke is right and the recession is over, why are bonds in more demand now than they were three months ago?
And back to Bill with some more thoughts...
"Things have changed so much," said a colleague yesterday. "We've been telling readers that they could live so much more cheaply overseas. But now, about the cheapest place in the world to live is the US..."
We spent Sunday with the publisher of International Living magazine.
"Prices have fallen so much in Florida that you really get more for your money there than practically anywhere else," she continued.
"I think Florida may be cheaper than Buenos Aires," added son Will, who's been living in Argentina for the last three years.
Housing is cheap in the United States. In Texas and Arkansas, housing is probably the best bargain on the planet. Food prices are going up; still food in the US is much cheaper than it is in Europe. And cars? We have a friend in Paris who goes back to the US to buy his Mercedes. Even with the cost of shipping the car back to France...and the cost of refitting the car to European standards...he still saves about $10,000.
"I was just in Paris," Will continued. "You pay $10 for a cup of coffee and a croissant. In Florida, I can get the 'Breakfast Special' for $5.95...and it has everything. Pancakes. Bacon... Everything."
"But what is amazing," continued our International Living colleague, "is that interest in moving overseas is going up. It's not about money. Apparently, a lot of Americans are just fed up...or afraid. They want to get out. They see taxes going up or they see the society going down the tubes. I don't know. But many say they just don't like the way things are going.
"One thing I hear is that they think American society has become meaner...ruder...less civil. You can't have a polite discussion of politics anymore. People get really upset and nasty. I mean, someone yelled out and called Obama a liar in the middle of a joint session of Congress. And a substantial part of the US population regards the guy - the guy who called him a liar - as a hero. They think Obama is a traitor...
"I think this is really a result of the financial downturn. People feel betrayed. Let down. They think something is very wrong. That the nation is in decline. So they look for someone to blame. And they tend to blame each other. Conservatives blame liberals. Liberals blame conservatives. They blame the bankers. They blame the capitalists. They blame the government.
"I guess that's what happens when you get a major correction or a big financial crisis."
We recalled what happened in Germany in the '20s and '30s:
"Germany was probably the most civilized country in the world - before WWI. Artists, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, musicians... Germany had the best in the world. The war shook the public's faith in its leaders. But then, according to people who lived through the period, the financial crises of the '20s and '30s were worse. Hyperinflation...depression...strikes...a decade of financial chaos and disruptions led to a breakdown in social order. By the early thirties, groups of communists and fascists were battling in the streets. People seemed to leave the center and move to extreme positions. Soon, the Nazis had the upper hand and Hitler was voted into the government."
Until tomorrow,
Bill Bonner

Close both to the high-octane world of the City of London and also near to London's trendy east End, with Shoreditch and Brick Lane very nearby.
Liverpool Street Tube Station is 1 minute walk away. Liverpool Street is a big transport hub with connections all over the great city of London. Ideal for couples, friends, family, professionals visiting the City.
The rental includes a has a double room with a plasma TV, freezer, internet and access to shared fitted kitchen with washing machine`1s5us`s facilities. Soap and shampoo are provided as well.
Tower Hamlets is the borough east of central London, with very easy access to the city and central London by tube (Central line, District line and the DLR). There are also plenty of buses and night buses running 24/7 from all directions in London.
It forms the core of the East End, home to a lot of exciting history. Tower Hamlets lies east of the medieval walled City of London. Use of the term "East End" in a pejorative sense began in the late 19th century, as the expansion of the population of London led to extreme overcrowding throughout the area and a concentration of poor people and immigrants in the districts that made it up. It was also in these neighborhoods the infamous Jack the Ripper operated in 1888.
Today Tower Hamlets is a diversified borough of London, and the status has increased a lot over the last decade. This is where you find the amazing Brick Lane market, along with many hip bars. 10 minutes' walk from Brick Lane is Shoreditch, which is one of the most popular clubbing areas at the moment.

Room is what you see. Small.
Very well communicated.
Building not very clean, room door very simple, wardrobe damaged, bad furniture.
We would not recomend it. It is worth it to pay a little bit more.
It is a pitty: With a little investment, the building and room would be much more comfortable.
My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights in Marco's apartment. We didn't enter the room until 14h because it was not ready.
The room was very tiny, less than 7m2. We can't get dressed at the same time in the room. Nobody cleaned the room during those 3 days.
In the kitchen there were no enough cups for everyone.
The closet was not fixed to the wall and sometimes it moved.
The bed was not very comfortable.
We agreed with Marco to leave the baggage the last day in reception. THey charged us for this and closed reception at 10pm.
Not very good experience.
Nice place to stay, right in center next to bars and next to shoreditch markets. The room is a little bit noisy. Flexible check in
everything was OK, very helpful and nice host, the room was tidy and the bathroom clean, it is the second time I choose Marcos's rooms to stay in London in such a central position.
The right ratio "price/output".
I warmly reccomend this accomodation to everyone.
This room is located very well, as you can really reach Liverpool Street Station within 1 minute.
The room itself is clean, but in a bad condition. You will find the room, kitchen and bathroom as shown in the pictures, but without the 'photoshop effect'.
The corridor is full of mold, you will smell it.
All in all, we could recommend this room only for a one-day trip (just to have a bed for the night), but don't expect too much of the overall comfort as you won't enjoy to really 'live' in there.
A fantastic location and ideal for those in London for sight-seeing and tourism. It is a bit noisy in the evening so not great if you are there to study like me!
However, I would recommend to travellers certainly.
OK, it works: it's just 3 minute walk to the tube, and railstation; The room was clean; and you can actually rest.
However don't be overimpress by the pictures of the room, it's just that. A tiny room to rest during your stay in london. Be prepared to share the bathroom with 5 other rooms.
Panoramic of the main corridor: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18700602/PANO_20141207_103209.jpg
Great place, just a few minutes from Liverpool Street station. It was a bit hard to find at first because the reception was in the building next to the apartments, but we found it with a little help. Room was clean, bathroom, toilet and kitchen were also clean. Next time we're visiting London we're definitely coming back!

SyntaxPolice: Haskell is one of those languages I've always wanted to get into (if for no other reason than to explore yet another functional language), but have never had the time. It does look pretty sweet, though!
Okay, my certs and diary ranking are going to take a serious drop. I've started learning Java.
I contacted someone I used to work for at a local university, mostly to say hello and ask about possible positions at the company he's now with. It seems the company needs Java programmers. This is a trend I've noticed recently -- there seem to be more Java jobs than everything else combined in my area.
He pointed out that the development cycle at his company is very short, and that does not make for a good learn-on-the-job environment (for the company or for me, for that matter). But it did give me something to think about.
Vancouver is a sort of bass-ackwards city. The Java gold rush that has probably faded other places is still alive and well here. Since I can hardly get anyone to look at my resume without being a Java or Microsoft guru, I figure I'll take the lesser of the two evils.
That being said, does anyone know of a good resource that lists the differences between the 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 APIs? On my current most-used platform (Linux/PPC), I can only get access to 1.3.1, and it would be handy to know what I'm missing from the latest spec.
Also, a question to those who work in Java -- what are the things I should learn? Are Beans still being used? Is J2EE knowledge helpful, or should I put off learning it until I have to use it? How 'bout JSP? Servelets?
Thank you for reading this far. :)

MultiGas GCX Air Cleaner
Description & Highlights
IQAir MultiGas GCX Air Cleaner
Control gas and chemicals with the IQAir MultiGas GCX Air Cleaner (1FCUB0LGB). Specially configured to control a wide range of gaseous organic and inorganic chemicals, the MultiGas GCX is engineered to provide maximum control of gaseous chemicals in a compact room air purifier. Just like a professional gas mask, GCX Series air cleaners rely on an interchangeable cartridge design for optimized gaseous pollutant control. And while molecular control is a particular strength of these systems, the GCX Series also offers excellent filtration efficiency for particles. The GCX Series also includes advanced anti-tampering features that prevent the unauthorized access to filters or disconnection of the system in public areas.
Compared to IQAir's GC Series, the GCX Series features nearly 75% more filtration media and as a result provides about 20% more airflow and longer filter service life. The MutliGas GCX works through a three-step filtration process with multiple cartridges. First, micro- and nano-particle filtration via a high-efficiency HEPA filter eliminates micro- and nano-particles such as allergens, smoke, bacteria and viruses. This thorough particle pre-filtration is essential for extending the life of the gas phase control media by preventing its pores from clogging with particulates. Next, GCX's cartridges provide specialized molecular control - with four cartridges that hold up to 17 pounds of granular and pellet-shaped gas phase control media. The cylindrical shape of these cartridges allows for optimum contact, which ensures high removal efficiencies. The cartridges' large surface area also enables high airflow rates. Finally, post-filter sleeves perform micro-charged filtration, which eliminates activated carbon and chemisorption abrasion particles through a statically charged fiber structure - leaving air clean and free of fine dust.
High-Capacity Particulate, Chemical, and Odor Control:Specially configured to control a wide range of gaseous organic and inorganic chemicals, the MultiGas GCX is engineered to provide maximum control of gaseous chemicals in a compact room air purifier
Multi-Cartridge Configuration:Just like a professional gas mask, GCX Series air cleaners rely on an interchangeable cartridge design for optimized gaseous pollutant control - providing both molecular control and excellent particle filtration

Just watched raph type up a transliteration of the Gnome announcement. It was truly amazing watching a historically significant event happening on my screen. I can say I saw the moment when Unix moved to the desktop.
Even more amazingly, this was being typed and commented on by the same people who made this event possible. And I realised that I am also a part of this.
And so is everyone.
GNU really is an effective way to vote with your feet.

Karr leads GU Women to blowout win in WCC opener over San Diego
Spokane, WA - The Gonzaga University women's basketball team began its quest for a ninth-straight West Coast Conference title with an opening 77-57 victory over the University of San Diego Thursday evening in front of 5,220 at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
"This is huge," Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves said of the league-opening win after the game. "It's as good of a conference as we have had. I thought San Diego, coming in, had the best non-league performance out of anyone in the WCC so this is a really good win for us."
The Bulldogs 20-point win improved their record to 11-4 on the year and 1-0 in league, while the Toreros fell to 8-5 overall and 0-1 in the WCC.
Gonzaga was sparked in the victory by senior Taelor Karr who tallied a career-high 27 points. The guard scored 24 of her points from beyond the 3-point arc as she nailed a career-high eight three pointers, one shy of tying the single-game record at Gonzaga, which is held by current director of basketball operations Michelle (Elliott) Clark.Karr leads GU Women to blowout win in WCC opener over San Diego
"It was great to see Taelor looking for her shot tonight," stated Graves. "I think she can be the best player in the conference and certainly our best player. She and Haiden [Palmer] are 1 and 1A. She was hunting and feeling her shot today. Her teammates were smart enough to get her the ball."
Her teammates got her the ball six times in the opening 20 minutes and she produced, hitting 5-of-6 from the field, including a perfect 4-of-4 on 3-pointers for 15 of the Zags 41 first half points.
Karr also got her teammates the ball and assisted Palmer on her 3-pointer to give GU their largest lead of the first half at 41-21 with 38 seconds left.
With Karr's hot shooting, Gonzaga, who went into intermission with the 41-23 advantage, finished the half shooting 45.2 percent from the field (14-of-31), including a blistering 75.0 percent on 3-pointers (6-of-8).
It was Karr who pushed the Bulldogs lead to 30 points early in the second stanza draining back-to-back 3-pointers to put the lead over San Diego at 56-26 with 16:14 to play in the game. She also helped the team grab their largest lead of the game – 33 points – with her seventh 3-pointer at 12:51 to put the score at 64-31.
Karr's lone miss behind the 3-point arc was the Bulldogs opening shot of the second half at 19:34. Had she drained that 3-pointer she would have tied Clark's record of nine that she set in the Zags 75-63 win at Sacramento State University Dec. 8, 2007. In that game, Clark drained 9-of-12 from 3-point land and had a career-high 31 points.
Along with Karr, two other Zags finished in double-figures. Palmer chipped in 15 points, while junior Jazmine Redmon added 10.
San Diego was led by Amy Kame and Katelyn McDaniel with 14 and 11 points, respectively.
Gonzaga now hosts Santa Clara University Saturday at 2 p.m. The Broncos are coached by former Bulldog player and assistant coach Jennifer Mountain. SCU's director of basketball operations Amanda Brown also played at Gonzaga.

Readers, I just received a thrilling FedEx delivery today--my author copies of His Grace is Sufficient . . . Decaf is NOT, the fun, touching devotional I wrote with good writer friends, Sandie Bricker, Loree Lough, and Cynthia Ruchti. I want to share it with you all. But since I didn't get enough copies for all of you, I'm going to send a signed copy to three of you and hope the rest of you look for the book in your favorite bookstore, Wal-Mart, or online book site (I've inserted some online buttons below).
About the devotional:
There is absolutely no substitute for God's grace. It's irreplaceable! Can it really be that, as we navigate the high-wire act of our busy lives, God's grace forms a quiet safety net beneath us? When we don't have the ability or even the drive to accomplish God's will for our lives, His grace is there. Or when we've chosen the wrong path, His grace is a heartbeat away to dust us off and show us the way home. In 100 upbeat and thought-provoking devotions, the authors help us to find truth in the middle of our crazy lives. Instead of putting our hope in good works, careers, the perfect family, or a double shot of espresso, they remind us to rely on God's supply of grace that never runs dry.
About the authors:
Sandra D. Bricker was an entertainment publicist in Los Angels for more than fifteen years before becoming a best-selling, award0-winning author of laugh-out-loud fiction from the Tampa Florida, area. As an ovarian cancer survivor, she gears times and effort toward raising awareness and funds for diagnostics and a cure. Her favorite coffee is creme brûlée with a shot of sugar-free vanilla cream. Visit Sandie at www.SandraDBricker.com
Loree Lough is a reader favorite with 81 published books (3 million+ in circulation), consistently earning glowing 4- and 5-star reviews. She splits her time between her Baltimore home and a family cabin in the Alleghenies, where coffee enables her to correctly identify "critter tracks." Loree adores a good frappuccino with extra caramel and whipped cream. Visit her at www.LoreeLough.com
Cynthia Ruchti writes and produces the drama/devotional radio broadcast "The Heartbeat of the Home." She is editor of the ministry's Backyard Friends magazine; the author of a novel and novella recognized with nominations for Reviewers' Choice, Retailers' Choice, and Readers' Choice awards; and speaks to women's groups and writers' events. Cynthis likes a good Milky Way latte with whipped cream. Visit her at www.CynthiaRuchti.com
And if you're reading this, you're already at my site and probably know plenty about me. Except my coffee preference: extra strong with heavy cream. Yum.
Now, if you'd like to be considered for this special drawing (only for commenters--subscribers won't be given an automatic entry in this one), answer these two questions in the comments section, below:
What is one way God has shown you His grace this year? And how do you like your coffee? (Non-coffee drinkers are eligible, too!)
I'll draw three winners on Monday, October 31.
Be sure to check out my interviews with Camy Tang and Elizabeth Goddard, below. Leave an appropriate comment at the bottom of the post to enter the drawing for a signed copy of her book.
Annoying legal disclaimer: drawings void where prohibited; open only to U.S. residents; the odds of winning depend upon the number of participants. See full disclaimer HERE.

text: The Deluxe figures have been here in Saint John NB for a week now. I got Bacta Tank Luke at TRU last week and he's awesome. (I passed on Maul though) TRU also had the 12 DS Wave and Walmart had TONS of the X-Wing Luke wave (probably about 15 each) Things are definately looking good for Canada. I'd like to thank whoever is responsible for us getting these figures at the same time as the States and also Sirsteve for finally giving us our own Just Found section.

Chunky salsa adds extra flavor to this oh-so-good slow-cooker chili.
Vary the taste by using black beans instead of pinto beans. If you like a milder chili, use mild salsa and a little less chili powder.
If you like, cook up a double batch of this hearty chili, then refrigerate or freeze half for another night. If you do make a double batch, use a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

15 December 2013
Stephanie's first engagement as an Australian Young Leader in Diabetes was a very humbling experience. She had the honour in being a guest speaker at a Diabetes Tasmania Forum. At this Forum several experts spoke about new projects impacting the diabetes community in Tasmania, like Diabetes Tasmania CEO Caroline Wells about the new initiative Type One Youth Support [2] (TOYS) and Guy Barnett about the establishment of The Melbourne Declaration on Diabetes [3]. As Young Leader, Stephanie was able to share her invaluable experiences from participating in the YLD Leadership Training and World Diabetes Congress in Melbourne, and also explain how attending these events and interacting with other Young Leaders was a truly life changing experience for her. In her speech Stephanie also disclosed the initial ideas of her YLD project. During the YLD training she noticed the common theme of the concept of friendship and your diabetes family. Youth camps are an excellent example of this sense of family and mutual understanding of your diabetes. However, such camps are only once in a while and immediately after diagnosis there is the lag in meeting other people living with diabetes. Based on her own experience of being diagnosed a decade ago, Stephanie plans to develop a network of people living with diabetes in the state of Tasmania, which will link those newly diagnosed to those already living with diabetes. This network will give kids, teenagers and young adults the opportunity to interact regularly, which will not only create fun memories like at camp, but also strengthen the 'diabetes family' in Tasmania. Being a peer leader at Diabetes Tasmania's senior camp [4] last month she shared this idea with the teenagers and they were very enthusiastic about this concept. Stephanie declared: "After my experience at the YLD Leadership Training, I truly believe it's just a matter of time before the Tasmanian diabetes family is reunited and becomes stronger than ever." To hear more about Stephanie's journey, watch this space!

Let's say turkeys were put under a federal control which changed the rules to only one tag for the entire United States. Because of the federal law this tag could be used from Jan.1, 2013-Dec.31, 2013. Where would you hunt, what species would you hunt for, what would be your weapon of choice, and what time of year would you do this in? Feel free to add any other interesting details that would peak our interest.
heinzc wrote:I also pray that hunting never goes to federal control. I think the Feds have too much to think about to concern themselves with hunting and fishing. I did accomplish one thing with the post, I think I will return to the woods this spring with a bow. The weapon choices were very interesting, and I appreciate your replies.

GE's Immelt to Head Obama's New 'Jobs and Competitiveness' BoardBy Marc Ambinder
President Obama today will name General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt chairman of the new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, the White House announced overnight.
The Jobs and Competitiveness Council's establishment signals that the president believes the economic recovery has entered a new, more productive phase. It will advise the president on job creation policies and on the establishment of a long-term growth strategy. Its composition was not immediately available.
The creation of the new entity coincides with the early February dissolution of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB), which was tasked principally with fixing the financial markets and restoring the American economy to equilibrium. Tonight, the administration formally announced the resignation of PERAB Chairman Paul Volcker. Immelt was one of 17 members of the board.
"Because we still have a long way to go to get Americans back to work and strengthen our economy," the White House announced in a 12:30 am EST statement, "the council will focus on finding new ways to promote growth by investing in American business to encourage hiring, to educate and train our workers to compete globally, and to attract the best jobs and businesses to the United States."
"Over the past two years, my Economic Recovery Advisory Board has provided this administration with support and expertise as we worked to bring our economy back from the brink and start recovering from an economic crisis that cost millions of American jobs," Obama is quoted as saying in the statement. "We still have a long way to go, and my number one priority is to ensure we are doing everything we can to get the American people back to work. As we enter a new phase in our recovery, I have asked the new Council to focus its work on finding new ways to encourage the private sector to hire and invest in American competitiveness."
Immelt, GE's CEO since September 2001, met with the president earlier this week and attended Wednesday's state dinner with Chinese President Hu Jintao. He will guide the president on a tour of GE headquarters in Schenectady, N.Y., today. Immelt, a Republican, donated to both Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain during the last presidential cycle, but not President Obama, according to Bloomberg.

IMO---Immelt is one of the true bad guys.
No Roger, I don't care that the article says he contributed to Repubs.
Isn't Immelt one of those evil overpaid CEO's you guys hate so bad????

Add something new to family's Italian cuisine tonight with veal and cannellini bean soup dinner.
Use larger basil leaves to cut into thin strips. Stack some leaves of similar size, and roll them up starting at a long side. Cut the roll of leaves crosswise into thin strips, using a sharp knife.
This Italian-influenced soup can be made with pork instead of veal. Be sure to trim all the extra fat from the pork before cutting into 1-inch pieces. In a hurry? Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning in place of the grated lemon peel, salt and pepper.
