A counterweight to populism in Latin America: judicial legitimacy and popularity
Populism, a resilient phenomenon in Latin America, has enabled and relied on the inclusion of politically alienated masses to legitimize the weakening of institutions. How is court empowerment and independence possible in the face of such a powerful anti-institutional force? This research argues that the answer may be found in the same mechanisms that enable populism: popularity and legitimacy.
The interoceanic canal, and U.S. constructive engagement toward Nicaragua
After his prompt, unexpected and unceremonial removal from Nicaragua, while there to conduct research on the transoceanic canal, Evan Ellis reflects on the events and what they mean for Nicaraguan democracy and U.S.-Nicaraguan relations.
The healthy roots of corruption anger in Latin America
With corruption scandals, popular protests and the revelations in the Panama Papers, it's easy to think that corruption in Latin America has suddenly increased. It hasn't, but Latin American institutions are better prepared to deal with the fallout.
Equal treatment and discrimination across the region

Peru's 40-Year Debt: the World is Watching
In resolving a 40-year debt, Peruvians and, in particular, Peru's international business class need to understand what is at stake here: not just the integrity and effectiveness of the judicial system but international opinion on how the government and the judicial system treats property and legal obligations.
Leopoldo Lopez and the injustice of Venezuela's judicial system
Even if you don't agree with the Venezuelan opposition's call for "la salida" of President Maduro, leaders like Leopoldo Lopez, now in prison almost 15 months, still have the right to demand the resignation of a president–a right Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff rightly supported in her country. Here's his parents' story.

A Simple DIY All Natural Recipe for Unclogging Drains in your Grass Valley Home
- Remove all water from the sink or tub and pour about 1 cup baking soda down the drain.
- Then pour 1 cup vinegar down the drain, plugging it immediately (if you're unclogging a double sink, plug both drains).
- When the bubbles have died down (about 30 minutes), chase them down the drain with some hot water.
If this recipe seems familiar to you, you may have as I did (at one point in your school days) used this recipe to make an erupting volcano for science class. Baking soda, a base, combined with vinegar, an acid, reacts to form carbon dioxide and sodium acetate—the bubbles that do the scrubbing work inside the drain. Once drain sludge is dissolved, these all natural, non-toxic ingredients get flushed down the now clog-free drain and will do no harm to your plumbing and or septic tank.
Baking soda and vinegar as you know are natural ingredients preferable to the manufactured chemical sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye. Sodium hydroxide is the active ingredient in most grocery store drain cleaners. While the chemical isn't too harmful for the environment since it's broken down by the time it flows into oceans and rivers, it can be harmful to whomever it touches. And it can do a nasty number on the working of your septic tank.
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, sodium hydroxide can burn skin. If swallowed, it can cause chest and abdominal pain, and has the potential to lead to death if it severely damages the lungs, tissue, or causes a loss of pulse or shock.
Baking soda and vinegar are common, consumable (though perhaps not together!) ingredients that don't pose health dangers and are probably already sitting in your kitchen cupboards.
And hey if the home remedies don't work you can always call ABT and well be right out. 530-272-9120

Hate preacher Abu Qatada BANNED from UK as crowd cheer 'hero's' release in Jordan
HATE preacher Abu Qatada will not be returning to the UK despite being cleared of terror plots, insists Home Secretary Theresa May.
The radical cleric walked free at a court in the Jordanian capital of Amma and was met with cheers and hugs from adoring fans.
But just two hours after the decision, Ms May, who spent years fighting to remove Qatada from the UK has blasted claims that he could return.
She said: "The due process of law has taken place in Jordan. That is absolutely as it should be.
"The UK courts here were very clear that Abu Qatada poses a threat to our national security. That's why we were pleased as a Government to remove him from the UK.
"He is subject to a deportation order, he is also subject to a UN travel ban. That means he will not be returning to the UK."
As he left the court today and returned to his home, he was met with smiles and kind greetings from locals.
The 53-year-old was seen hugging and kissing members of his family.
"He is not coming back."Prime Minister David Cameron
Qatada was cleared in a re-trial of any involvement in plans to attack Israeli and American tourists inJordan in 2000
He was also acquitted in June of any participation in a foiled 1999 plan to attack an American school in Amman.
After more than 10 years battling his rights to asylum in the UK, he was finally released for trial earlier this year.
The Prime Minister' echoed Theresa May's opinion in June with his official spokesman saying: "He can't come back and he won't come back. He's a Jordanian, he does not have a UK passport, he was deported on an indefinite deportation order, he would not be granted permission to enter the UK, end of story.
"Mr Qatada was put on a plane to Jordan and is not coming back. This is a man the British courts have deemed a risk to national security. He is not coming back."

Twisted Barrel Ale exploded onto the Coventry beer scene on 29th March 2014.
After months of hard work developing a small selection of beers that would appeal to Coventry's patrons thirsting for our unique mix of modern and classical styles and methods we launched our beers at Coventry's number 1 bottle bar, Inspire, and it was a huge success.
Originally brewing on a 60 litre kit, we described ourselves as 'the UK's first Pico-brewery'. At the time we were the smallest commercial brewery in the UK, although we are aware of many more that have sprung up in the months since our launch.
With a brewing capacity of approximately 120 bottles demand very quickly caught up and our supply was way too small.
Fast forward to 20th June 2015, and we held another launch. This time in our brand new Brewery and Tap House at FarGo Village. With a new 1000 litre brewing kit installed by Brewing Vessels and an entirely new brand design from Stewart Easton, we've finally become the brewery we always set out to be.
Hosting regular theme and movie nights, acoustic music sessions and open for tours and tastings we offer an entirely unique experience for Coventry and its many visitors.
Now with 7 core beers, and an ever expanding pilot series which continues our original tradition of experimentation we offer 6 taps in our Tap House and numerous bottles. We host regular Meet the Brewer and Tap Takeovers from other breweries, and are a founding member of the Mercian Alliance of Brewer's, along with Fixed Wheel, Fownes, Green Duck, Glassjaw and Two Towers.

Italy: Sant'Egidio protests at wave of attacks on migrants
The Sant'Edigio community in Italy have voiced concerns after a string of attacks on migrants around the country in the past few days has left several people injured and one dead.
In the last few days there have been racist attacks in Naples, Milan, Parma and Rome.
"The disturbing beating in Parma by public officials; the beating to death of a black Italian citizen near Milan's central station, the beatings in Rome, in Tor Bella Monaca, confirm a crazed atmosphere of ignorance, racism and brutality.." the Sant'Edigio Community said in a statement.
On Friday afternoon a 36 year-old Chinese man was attacked in Rome by a group of seven Italian minors on Viale Duilio Cambellotti, in the popular neighbourhood of Tor Bella Monaca. A few days earleri, two immigrants from the Ivory Coast, aged 30 and 24, were attacked in the same area.
The statement of Sant'Egidio underlined that "there are some who are not ashamed, from positions of responsibility in the public administration and in parliament, to incite contempt toward immigrants, among them Roma, Romanians and Muslims" .
The Community of Sant'Egidio "condemns this violence and atmosphere of scapegoating that is invading the public arena and creating disarray in the mentality and behaviour, even of the younger generations. On behalf of the city of Rome and the country, we feel compelled to apologise for this violent intolerance to all the victims, and urge a reaction of gestures of solidarity and isolation of those who continue to excuse or foment the atmosphere of contempt toward foreigners and those who are already struggling to integrate in our country".

I use twitter quite a bit – partially for fun and partially for work. It's great for finding semi-random bits and bobs of facts/background research if you have a good set of people you follow. Obviously I use it a little bit (a very little bit indeed!) for marketing. The plan is that I build a reputation so fabulous that I only need to announce a forthcoming training workshop and it instantly sells out on the back of my million connections (and their connections, if I must).
Equally obviously it doesn't work out this way.
Take, for example, a tweet of mine which was re-tweeted by a man called Garr Raynolds (@presentationzen). Garr is pretty much the guru of what I do (I train people in presentation skills) and being re-tweeted by him is akin to being passed the ball by the captain of your national team…
When I say the re-tweet I grinned, waited and then looked at the number of hits my website had taken – because Garr's re-tweet contained a link to an old blog entry of mine.
And the effect of a recommendation by arguably the world's biggest authority on slide design was……?
Twice the number of hits in an hour as my blog normally takes in a day. Time to have a cup of tea and celebrate my new-found super-stardom. Not only that but I got a load of new followers… well, three, if you must know but three's better than two, one and zero, right?
And then I started thinking of the way twitter works because I know for a certainty that come tomorrow (or even later this afternoon) no one will remember my blog, or me for that matter. Even Garr himself will have forgotten about it, because that's how twitter works.
Pull a pebble out of a pond and very quickly the ripples settle down and there's no way to tell that the pebble had ever been there.
So what's the use of twitter (and, I'd generalize) social media in general, if anything we do is also so instantly forgettable? I have to confess I have absolutely no real idea and I'm always inclined to take things with a pinch of salt when people are sure about how to "Maximize your profits from Twitter". The same is true of Facebook and (especially) less robust networking sites such as Ecademy. Things change too often online for us to set much store by it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-online networking (I use one particular website a lot and find a lot of comfort/support/advice in it – despite it sometimes feeling like swimming with sharks to log in!) but I do wonder how well we can get to know people this way. It's not the electronic nature of the networking that undermines it, for me at least, it's the basic and fundamental ephemeralacy of it.
Relationships require time, not a clicked "like" link!
PS: Garr linked to an old post: I've since found a use for prezi! 🙂
And btw, I'm @presentations.

Akron's Harney suspended indefinitely
University of Akron forward Nick Harney has been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team.
One of Akron's most gifted and most experienced players, the 6'8 Harney has been in and out of the Zips' starting lineup this season, averaging 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds. Harney can score both inside and out and can play multiple spots for the Zips, who are at their best when they get balanced scoring.
Akron (16-7, 8-2) leads the Mid-American Conference East Division and is tied for the league's overall lead with Toledo, which has suspended leading scorer Justin Drummond for one game after he was arrested on DUI charges last weekend. Akron has released no details on Harney's situation in advance of its home game Wednesday night vs. Western Michigan.
Like teammate Demetrius Treadwell, Harney is a former Prop 48 enrollee who's listed as a senior this season. Both could receive another year of eligibility if they graduate in good standing later this year.
For now, though, Harney's status is uncertain.

Disclosure: This giveaway prize is provided by Familiar. I was not compensated for this post, I genuinely love using Familiar, and all opinions are my own.
"Can you send me more pictures of the children, please?"
"Okay, Mom. I'll do that. After I put the kids to bed tonight."
{two weeks later}
"Did you email me the pictures?"
"Er, not yet. I need to pick the good ones, resize them, then send them to you in batches. There are A LOT, Mom."
I've had this conversation with my mother more than once (okay, practically every month since I've had my first son, but who's counting?). For the first year or so, I managed to update my parents, who live a few hours away, with monthly pictures. My updates have been sporadic since then, because curating pictures to be emailed is more time consuming than cleaning the bathroom with a toothbrush (I imagine. Not that I've ever tried).
Imagine how thrilled I was when I was first introduced to Familiar.
In their own words, "Familiar turns every screen into a 21st century photo frame directly connected to family and friends. With Familiar, the best and cherished memories are displayed on the screens of loved ones into a customized channel. It's simple: capture a moment and send it directly to the screens of your private network. Any device's 'down time' is a huge untapped opportunity to enjoy cherished photos and videos and Familiar allows you to do just that."
Familiar is also optimized for Tablets. What this means is, you can turn your tablet into a digital picture frame when it's idle. Rather than putting away a tablet when not in use (like when it's being charged), you can watch a fun slideshow on your tablet-now-21st-century-digital-photo-frame.
Basically, it's like your personalized screensaver. Or in my mother's case, HER personalized screensaver of stitched-together photos and videos of her grandchildren. Yes, video. It's the first ever. Like 'no-one-has-ever-done-this-before' ever. All you have to do is upload your photos, add your contacts' email addresses, and voila!
Other nifty features include automatic personalization: Familiar learns what photos and videos you like more, whether they came from you, or your friends and family, and they personalize your photo frame for you. And for you bloggers and social media fans, Familiar offers integration with the most popular photo & video services such as Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and Google's Picasa.
Watch the video below to see Familiar in action and then download on Google Play or iTunes.
Now, on to the giveaway! Familiar wants you to experience the 21st Century Photo Frame so they're giving away a Google Nexus 7 Tablet (16 GB)! Enter in the Rafflecopter widget below for a chance to win.
Giveaway entries open midnight July 1st and close at midnight July 11th.
How do you share photos with your friends and family?
My post about time and how I need to be friends with it again is published at Mamalode. I couldn't be more thrilled. Would love some visits there, if you have a few minutes. Thank you!

Northamptonshire County Council
CDS design and print – controls content, brand and costs
Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) needed a single supplier to streamline their design and print arrangements to make the most of their buying power and achieve value for money, in the face of growing financial pressures.
CDS provided a turn-key design and print service which enabled them to produce designs consistent with their corporate brand, market testing for all printed products to deliver best value and improved purchasing, reporting and invoicing procedures.
A key benefit of the new arrangement is the provision of a CDS designer based within the Council's Marketing and Communications Team, enabling early involvement at the conceptual stage.
The designer uses knowledge and experience of print and online communications to advise on available options to make savings or avoid incurring unnecessary costs.
The requirement
NCC reviewed their design arrangements and established that they were using around 40 agencies, incurring a wide range of fees and creating real challenges to maintaining a consistent brand.
They also identified that their print buying practices were fragmented and did not make the most of the Council's buying power or demonstrate value for money.
The Council needed a single supplier capable of providing the complete end-to-end process covering:
- advice and consultancy
- full design service – including conceptual, graphics and artwork
- provision of a wide range of print services covering quick turnaround for Legal and Democratic departments through to corporate publications.
The Council was looking for a supplier who could provide efficient online systems to work seamlessly with staff and elected members, their Marketing & Communications Team, Procurement and Finance.
The solution
CDS won the contract and quickly implemented the service in under two months providing staff based within NCC's Marketing and Communications Team.
Initially, we undertook a joint internal marketing campaign across council offices and via the council intranet, and created an interactive PDF – to publicise the new arrangement.
The on-site designer was in place to get involved in projects from the conceptual stage. This allows CDS to fully understanding the council's communication goals, audience and lifecycle so we can provide expert advice and consultancy on producing print and online communications that are fit for purpose.
The CDS solution protects the council's brand, ensuring the correct use of its graphic devices, friendly modern font, strong bands of colour and powerful images of 'real people.'
This enabled the Council to make maximum use of their corporate identity, including branding support for income generation activities.
Another key benefit to the Council is our input into strategic campaigns, such as 'fostering and adoption', which make a significant difference to people's lives.
We have also undertaken publication audits identifying opportunities to streamline communications and avoid duplication. All digital artwork produced is now stored in a central online repository, CDS Digital, providing secure access for council staff.
Since CDS implemented this service, the Council has been able to improve brand control, prevent unauthorised design and print and accurately record spending. They report savings across all publications. Customer satisfaction is consistently recorded as either excellent (60%) or good (40%).
For example:
Our advice and consultancy approach resulted in the council redesigning school meals ordering packs to a leaflet format, saving £9,546 pa (17%) on print, fulfilment and postage costs.
The pack is distributed eight times a year and is distributed to 23,500 families. Each pack contained a standard letter, a menu, weekly order forms and return envelopes. CDS challenged the model and recommended a single folded leaflet solution encompassing all the elements – reducing print costs and offering significant savings on collation and postage.
- Advice and consultancy
- Conceptual and graphic design
- Artwork
- Brand protection
- Print Portal
- CDS Digital (Digital Asset Management)
- Reprographics
- Print Management
Northamptonshire County Council chose CDS because they demonstrated that they could offer the Council best value for our design and print requirements.

GigaOm Panel Addresses the Challenges of Enterprise Clouds
In San Francisco on June 22, 2011 a panel of experts came together to look at issues challenging enterprise cloud adoption. The GigaOm Structure conference featured many great speakers and was the lollapalooza of cloud events. Every member of the clouderati was there and all cloud vendors big and small seemed to be exhibiting.
At this who's who event, Abiquo sponsored a break out session panel moderated by Jo Maitland of SearchCloudComputing.com, on the topic of " Addressing the Challenges of Enterprise Clouds." The panel featured industry experts including: NetApp Cloud Czar, Val Bercovici, Director of Deloitte Consulting, Chris Weitz, and Abiquo CEO, Pete Malcolm.
According to the event organizers, the session got rave reviews as being non-vendor focused and really delivering industry insight on the challenges. The ~35 minute session was recorded and can now be seen online.
Today NetApp rolled out an announcement around new technologies and a partner ecosystem to deliver enterprise clouds. Abiquo has been working closely with the NetApp team to enable enterprise customers to deliver Storage as a Service across many hypervisor platforms and datacenter locations. Given the need to store and access big data, and the ever increasing amount of that data, this problem will get worse without the right solutions implemented. This is why we see Storage as a Service as an huge market opportunity across the enterprise and service provider space. As a cloud service provider, you can easily see how many mid-market organizations might use storage as a service. But how do you build it quickly, enable multi-tenant self-service, and deliver various "tiers" of storage to offer the right service at the right price to your customers? As an enterprise, how do you enable departments to access the storage they need when they need it, alone or with the rest of your IaaS offering?
This NetApp/Abiquo solution brief reveals how Abiquo and NetApp make storage management and automation simple, yet robust. Additionally, there's an upcoming set of webcasts that may help users see how to set up Storage as a Service or learn more about managing and automating storage.
A tech demo webcast was recorded and can be accessible here: June Tech Thursday: Focus on NetApp Storage. (sorry, no longer available)
Then later on July 28th at 10AM, joint speakers from NetApp and Abiquo discuss "The basics of automating a cloud storage service".
Abiquo is committed to delivering support for compute, networking and storage across multiple data centers, and will continue to innovate with partners like NetApp to deliver more value to enterprises and service providers worldwide.
Abiquo has partnered with NetApp and Nexenta, bringing new integration with their respective storage systems. We have, since our first enterprise release, managed storage resources using standards such as OpenSolaris ZFS and LVM/iSCSI, allocating them to Virtual Enterprises and allowing Enterprise Administrators to perform volume management tasks as well as allocation to specific virtual machines. The new integration builds on this integral management of storage as a cloud resource and NetApp and Nexenta storage systems can now be managed through Abiquo's centralized cloud management console. We also provide additional storage connection and management options such as compatibility with Red Hat iSCSI targets, an ideal storage connector for small deployments or testing environments.
Virualization technologies have, since their beginnings, failed to deliver the cost saving benefits that they promised but now, through the cloud, there is a chance to put this right. Kennedy Brown, marketing manager at Intel, claimed in his Sept. 7, 2010 Server Room Blog post that the best way to achieve the benefits of virtualization is to maximize the utilization of servers. We support this but believe that there are other elements too, the best way to maximize server utilization is to increase utilization rates for other key infrastructure resources such as networks and storage. These are equally as important for achieving IT cost savings and delivering on the promise of cloud computing. These motions were backed by George Crump, author of the InformationWeek storage blog, who claimed that most datacenters still only use 25 to 35 percent of their actual capacity for storing real data, and therefore these companies can reduce their purchases, power, cooling and floor space costs by as much as 75 percent.
The reason these technologies have, so far, fallen short is that there has not been a system that offers smart, business policy-driven automation. Abiquo does offer this; CEO Pete Malcolm said "The Abiquo solution increases storage utilization rates and helps deliver on the promise of cloud computing overall. Companies are only now starting to realize that storage utilization is just as important as server utilization in establishing true cloud computing, and Abiquo can deliver both from a single console."
The addition of NetApp and Nexenta improves our ability to increase storage utilization rates and allows us to provide a single management console that incorporates multiple, industry-leading storage systems.

text: This is a brand new 870 Express Synthetic with a factory 2 round mag extension. When loading 2 3/4" shells, often the final (6th) shell will not load, because the entire 5 round stack is "stuck", meaning I can't push them into the tube any further, as if something is catching or binding. After taking it apart and studying it closely, I'm almost positive that the forward end of the follower is catching on the joint between the mag tube and the extension tube, as if the two don't fit together exactly perfect and therefore create a lip for the follower to snag on. The instructions that came with the mag extension indicate not to over tighten the extension tube, which I am not, but I don't think that matters. Is this a common problem? I was considering upgrading the follower and spring to this: http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Spring-Follower-Kit-Extension-Tube-12-Gauge/productinfo/SGSFK-EX/ Will this likely solve the problem, or is there a better solution?

Review for BMW of Fairfax Body Shop
Marlene S. on 07/07/2014
Spoke with David. He said they did not get their vehicle back when promised. This business did not factor in the extra time it would take for them to paint their vehicle as well as remove the windows before they could paint it. As a result, his wife had to keep her rental car longer than she expected. The insurance company did not factor in the extra cost for the rental car as well. When they got their vehicle back they noticed 2 slits in the leather beneath the driver side window. The business attempted to repair this damage, but he and his wife were not happy with the results. The business ended up ordering a new leather panel to replace the existing one that was damaged. They were happy with the new panel and new work that was done. However, as a result of what they experienced they will not be recommending this business to others.

After all the lecturing I have done about not getting upset until you know for sure there's something to worry about, I'm in that prediciment now! Had BM(sorry for being graphic) and had bleeding! My mind is all over the place! Never wished for hemorrhoids before!A little support would be appreciated. Going to MD this PM. Cathy
Feb 26, 2001 - 9:44 am
Heey cathy,
Seriously, I know how it throws you. Think about how much worse it would be to discover it in the (graphic deleted) of someone very dear to you.
be praying for good results
Feb 26, 2001 - 10:27 am
Hi Cathy - Stop doing that to yourself - it is not worth it. You need to be taking care of yourself. I am sure it is nothing to worry about - so keep your chin up. My prayers are with you my dear. God Bless, Lucy
Feb 27, 2001 - 6:20 am
Cathy, calm down. Like my husband has told me through this ordeal "DONT BORROW TROUBLE". i know it's easier said than done,though. I didn't listen to him very well. Hang in there and let us know ASAP what is happening. My prayers are with you.
Feb 26, 2001 - 11:26 am
Hi Cathy, I had some unexplained bleeding last Oct. and it is frightening. Told my surgeon about it and he said I must have passed a hard stool. I told him it wasn't hard and I asked for a colonoscopy (as I was due for my first colon screening anyway). He gladly obliged and made me an appt with a gastroentorologist. I had the colonoscopy last Nov. and everything turned out fine. Prior to my bleeding incident I had complained a few months earlier to my surgeon about itchy hemeroids (sp) and he helped me get rid or them by telling me not to use anti bacterial soap as that dried out my skin. Will pray for you. Margaret
Feb 26, 2001 - 1:21 pm
Hi Cathy !
Don't fret ! I first had bleeding about 6 years ago... scared me to death !!! I had ALL kinds of tests run... turns out that it was only a fissure. I still have it. The DR's wanted to do surgery to remove it, but I declined... Does it make any sense to make a BIGGER cut, to get rid of a small tear??!! Anyway, there are a lot of explanations for the blood, besides something really bad ! Will be praying for you...
Feb 26, 2001 - 11:17 pm
HI Cathy, I will certainly keep you in my prayers. I'm sure everything will be fine. I haven't had that problem before but my hubby has. It is very scary. Lucky for him it was just hemorrhoids.(He'd be glad to know I shared that with all of you HA)Think posite thoughts. Let us know what you find out.Judy
Feb 27, 2001 - 7:54 am
Hi Cathy, I hope you will share your results with us. It is probably nothing to worry about. i had the same thing happen a few years ago, only When I passed gas, mucousy blood came out, scared the hell out of me. It could be anything from internal hemmeroids to a small tear in the rectal lining. Dont worry, Its such fun to have a colonoscopy!!!! NOT!! I had more apparatus shoved up my bum than I care to remember!! But everything is clear!! Hang tight and stay positive.
Feb 27, 2001 - 1:02 pm
Dear Cathy
As all the others have said it's probably just haemorroids or a lot of other things it can be before cancer. My old faithful bovine colostrum is very good for healing lower gut problems & is specifically recommeded for irritable bowel syndrome so give it a try in large doses. Natural & nothing to lose. Also if you are on pain medication that is codeine or morphine based that can cause constipation & tears etc so try to keep regular. Let us know how you got on. Praying for you. Love Pam.
Feb 27, 2001 - 3:23 pm
Hi, Cathy!!
I can only reiterate what everyone else has said--only wish I had done it sooner. I hope you are feeling more at ease now and that the doctor was also able to ease your mind. My husband had the same type of thing a while back (and I am sure that he, too, will be over joyed to know that I shared that with you all!!) and we did a simple home test on the BMs for three times. It turned out to be nothing. Our baby, too, had some bleeding the first few times she went after birth--dr told me that is was a fissure (small tear). So far, no other problems with either of them!! What did you find out at the doctor yesterday??
Thinking of you!!
Feb 27, 2001 - 6:58 pm
Hi everybody! Thanks for all the support. I saw the Gastroenterologist yesterday. He wasn't overly concerned. He said it could have been a Hemorrhoid. Didn't feel any fissures(I love these exams! NOT!!!) I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy on March14. I'll let you all know. Thanks! Cathy
Feb 27, 2001 - 8:56 pm
Hi Cathy, I'm glad your doctor doesn't feel it is anything serious. Take care of yourself & keep us posted. Judy

Florida is losing huge parts of its secondary with Quincy Wilson and Jalen Tabor leaving for the NFL Draft this year and foregoing their senior season. However, there's still hope for the secondary as Marcell Harris will be coming back for his senior year.
RELATED: Florida takes surprising NFL hit along offensive line
Both Wilson and Tabor are supposed to go early in the NFL Draft so that's a lot of talent taken away, but with the promise of Chauncey Gardner and the leadership of Harris coming back this defense could still be something special.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Bernie Sanders is coming back to Portland Thursday for a HUGE event at Powell's Books.
The Vermont senator will be at Portland's famous bookstore for about 2 hours starting at 12 p.m. December 1 to sign copies of his new book, "Our Revolution".
The book includes his personal experiences from the campaign trail.
The HUGE event sold out practically instantly.While the 2016 election may be over, "Our Revolution" explains why the political revolution has just started and outlines Sanders' progressive agenda.
Washington Post op-ed
Sanders appearance in Portland is the same day an op-ed he wrote appeared in the Washington Post — Bernie Sanders: Carrier just showed corporations how to beat Donald Trump
In the op-ed, the Vermont senator wrote:
Today, about 1,000 Carrier workers and their families should be rejoicing. But the rest of our nation's workers should be very nervous.
President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly announce a deal with United Technologies, the corporation that owns Carrier, that keeps less than 1,000 of the 2,100 jobs in America that were previously scheduled to be transferred to Mexico. Let's be clear: It is not good enough to save some of these jobs. …
Just a short few months ago, Trump was pledging to force United Technologies to "pay a damn tax." … Instead of a damn tax, the company will be rewarded with a damn tax cut. Wow! How's that for standing up to corporate greed? How's that for punishing corporations that shut down in the United States and move abroad?
In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won. And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country.

Picture: Evander Holyfield signs copies of his new book 'Becoming Holyfield' at Waterstone's London, England - 03.03.08
Former boxing champion Evander Holyfield is suffering a financial crisis and faces losing his $10 million (GBP5 million) Atlanta, Georgia home.
Despite having earned a reported $200 million (GBP100 million) from his successful career in the ring; a local newspaper in Atlanta has listed his estate as under foreclosure, and due to be auctioned on 1 July (08).
The mother of one of his nine children is also accusing Holyfield of missing $6,000 (GBP3,000) in child support payments and has filed a court petition to force him to pay up.
Holyfield, 45, who last fought in October 2007, has refused to comment on the situation.

Energy Saving Lights Not Such a Bright Idea, Say Critics
They contain mercury, cannot be easily recycled, and their production causes environmental damage, yet many of the world's governments say compact flourescent lights (CFL) must replace the traditional incandescent bulbs within the next few years.
Over 40 countries, led by Australia and including Canada and the United States, have begun a phase-out of incandescent bulbs. Most plan to ban the sale of incandescents by 2011-2012 and legislate a switch to CFLs.
CFLs use only 75 percent of the energy needed to power standard bulbs, thereby lessening greenhouse gases, greatly reducing lighting energy demand, and saving money on residential electricity bills.
But the odd-shaped bulbs, which come in a range of styles and types, have been receiving some bad press of late, with critics saying the lights have to be kept on longer to run efficiently, are not environmentally friendly, and pose serious health risks for certain individuals.
Health Canada launched a study in December over concerns that the energy-saving light bulbs emit ultraviolet radiation. Preliminary results will be released in late summer or early fall.
In the U.K., the Health Protection Agency announced in October that, in close proximity, CFLs emit UV rays similar to outdoor exposure levels on a sunny summer day. When the light is more than 30 centimetres (one foot) away or if it's encased in a glass covering there is no danger, the agency said.
The more intense light emitted by CFLs has been accused by Spectrum, an alliance of charities working with people with light sensitive conditions in the U.K., of triggering migraine headaches and skin rashes, and aggravating existing conditions such as lupus, eye disorders and epilepsy.
In response to the U.K. government's decision to ban regular light bulbs by 2011, Spectrum is running a campaign to raise awareness of the health impacts of CFLs. They claim as many as 340,000 people could be affected.
Meanwhile, Britons are stockpiling traditional bulbs. Stores such as John Lewis, Sainsbury's and Homebase are reporting a shortage of 100 watt bulbs as consumers stock up before they are removed from the shelves for good.
Other complaints about CFLs are that most don't work with dimmer switches or electronically triggered security lights, they are too dim for reading and give off a colder type of light, they don't fit most lampshades, take time to warm up, and many are not usable in freezers, ovens or microwaves because these are either too cold or too hot for them to function.
Then there's the thorny issue mercury. The five milligrams of mercury—an amount as small as the tip of a pen—that each compact fluorescent contains is in vapour form, which means it disperses through the air if a CFL is broken.
"When mercury is in vapour form and you inhale it, it can get into the brain very easily. If you're pregnant it gets into the placenta, it gets into mother's milk. So there's a real problem with this form of mercury," says Magda Havas, associate professor of environmental and resource studies at Trent University.
Both Natural Resources Canada and the Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. advise that if a CFL is broken, the room should be cleared of people and pets and aired out immediately, and that the glass fragments should not be vacuumed.
Havas says this is because the vapour will remain in the vacuum and re-distribute it each time the vacuum is used.
Havas, who teaches and does research on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields, dirty electricity, and electrical hypersensitivity, says the Canadian government, for one, did not do its homework before jumping on the CFL bandwagon.
"Has the government done enough research—definitely not. They just accepted this as something that was the next best thing. They've just gone with it and I think it was a mistake."
Theo Paradise-Hirst is head of lighting design for U.K.-based Max Fordham, an award-winning company of design technologists who specialize in energy efficient and sustainable systems for building services and the wider environment.
Paradise-Hirst says there are many "forgotten costs" in the production of CFLs, the vast majority of which are manufactured in China.
"The processes, waste and by-products created by manufacturing CFLs are hideous. I've been to the Far East and seen the factories where these lamps are produced, and the waste toxins and by-products are alarming."
He says that because many CFLs are produced in countries where "environmental issues and human rights are just ignored," continuing to import them is "offsetting our environmental responsibility."
"By sourcing products in this way we are transferring our environmental responsibilities to unaccountable communities for commercial gain."
Although some stores such as Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Ikea accept spent CFLs for recycling, both Paradise-Hirst and Havas fear that many will end up in landfills, leaching mercury and other chemicals into the environment.
Paradise-Hirst also says the disposal process of CFLs is "very complex and energy-consuming."
However, the green movement holds that the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by a projected five million tons a year offsets any shortcomings CFLs might have. Keith Stewart, a climate change analyst with the World Wildlife Fund, thinks CFLs have their place.
Stewart says despite the mercury content, "CFLs are still a good option because you can capture that mercury and reuse it, whereas once it goes up in a coal stack there's nothing you can do about it. More mercury is released into the environment from burning coal for the extra energy needed to run a regular light bulb than is in a CFL."
He says CFLs have improved greatly in the last 10 years and predicts that by 2012 there will be other options available.
Havas says a study in which she participated to be released later this year found that a far more efficient alternative to CFLs are light emitting diodes (LEDs).
To give the same amount of light as a 60 watt traditional bulb, a CFL would use 15 watts while LEDs use only about three or four watts and don't contain mercury, she says. However, LEDs are new to the market and still quite pricey, just as CFLs were a few years ago.
Stewart says there are silicon-based bulbs currently being pioneered in Canada that also contain no mercury and use less energy than either CFLs or LEDs.
Because flourescents as a technology have been around since the turn of the last century, Paradise-Hirst believes the time has come to support new technologies, including LEDs, the plasma lamp invented by Nikola Tesla, and an environmentally friendly, high-energy efficiency bulb produced by Ceravision which uses microwave technology.
In the meantime, we should simply dim the lights.
"We need to examine our energy usage more thoughtfully," he says. "If all the street lights around the globe were dimmed by 50 per cent after 2:00 a.m., that would save significant amounts of energy."

It's been almost two months into my second year at my school, and I figured it is time to talk about being a Team Leader. This title makes me in charge of three other foreign Native English teachers in my department (2nd grade). It also means that I am in the intermediary between the English crew and the Korean homeroom teachers. When I was first given this duty I was stricken with fear that I couldn't do it, and would find myself stressed out too much. Today I am going to expose how being a Team Leader has developed for me and give insights into what's been happening so far.
Things started off kind of rough when on the first day back I was bombarded with level testing. I wasn't aware this had to be done so I was found scrambling for the test and spending my prep time giving it to the new students. But I handled it quite well and did my best to keep up with the day. During that first week I thought it was very important to make a good impression with the Korean staff, and so tried to talk with them, and one day gave them some chocolate I acquired from recent travels. But it seemed they were too busy and into their own worries to really pay attention to me or my English staff in general. I mostly just tried to go with the flow and so stayed out of their way.
Since then I have gotten use to being the person the Korean staff goes to when delivering important messages. Information includes schedule changes or nuances about vocabulary and tests. There are four Korean homeroom teachers and the make up is interesting. One of them is an older woman and doubles as the school's Vice Principal. So she doesn't really talk to me much, but I try my best to be nice and mild around her. The other homeroom teacher is the one to go to for paperwork and schedule changes, and mostly for English messages. However, she is going to have her first baby at the end of this month, so we won't see her again till next semester. Then there is the next homeroom teacher, a guy, who pretty much keeps to himself. I only go to him if one of the kids from his class is having trouble. That leaves us with the Head Teacher, a guy who is nice and communicates well with me. All major things pass through him, so I try to be nice and just do whatever he requests.
For example, today we had a new student and this morning as I was just setting up in my room, he informed me of her. I was to give her the level test. If this were me about 4 years ago when I first came to Korea, these last minute things and random invites would have me in a twirl. But I've gotten use to a lot of the Korean workplace nuances and so I'm nice about these things.
Otherwise, being Team Leader seems to mostly be about keeping up with everyone's paper work. Monthly planner, vocabulary and lesson plans are the major forms of paperwork I have to check and make sure are all right throughout the month. I have to make sure folks are keeping up with these things and occasionally ask them to hurry along.
As leader itself I am letting things grow at a good pace. I have had bi-weekly meetings with my staff to catch them up on current topics and agenda. It seems to make my team happy, as we also end up talking about the kids and our classes.
I have to say I find being team leader not as stressful as I thought it would be, but at times I hope I'm not slacking off too much. My concerns would be that I don't really talk to the Korean staff or get to the know them. This is something I am notorious for doing. I just figure if I'm being nice and doing what is being told, than I am on their good side anyways. Hmm, maybe time to rethink my strategy, haha.
In the end, I feel that my position at this school and the unique teaching environment that I am is a fortunate win on my side. So being Team Leader, so far, is treating me very well.

Claire takes her mum, Yvonne along to her antenatal class. Steve asks Shelley out for a pizza. She's delighted. Charlie overhears and, intent on ruining their evening, he also tells Tracy he's taking her for a pizza. Charlie and Jason start work on No.6. They gut the bathroom. Charlie tells Tracy he intends to sell the house at a huge profit. Sean's managed to find out his real father used to live in Sheffield and possibly still does. Shelley and Steve are enjoying their meal when Charlie and Tracy arrive. Charlie acts surprised to see them as they exchange pleasantries through gritted teeth. Sarah engineers it so that she, Jason, Audrey, Gail and Eileen have a drink together in the Rovers. It's obvious both Gail and Eileen wish they were somewhere else. Tracy gets a call to say Amy's been taken into hospital with a raging temperature. Steve and Tracy rush to the hospital leaving Charlie and Shelley on their own. Charlie plies Shelley with wine and flatters her saying he loved her far more than he loves Tracy. Adam gives Sean a list of all the Paul Jones's in Sheffield. Sean starts to phone each one hoping to find his father. Charlie walks Shelley back to the Rovers and wheedles his way in for a nightcap. Diggory, Molly and Tyrone start their new late night pizza delivery service. Charlie and Shelley share a drink. Charlie continues to work his charm telling her how much he still misses her. Back at No.1 Sean, Adam and Joanne start phoning round the list of Paul Jones's in an attempt to find Sean's dad. Their noise wakes Blanche who thinks they're mad phoning people at midnight. She tells Sean to go home. Charlie seduces Shelley. They kiss passionately and end up having sex in the bar. Steve and Tracy return from the hospital relieved that Amy's now okay. Molly gets a hoax order for ten pizzas. Diggory declares its time to throw in the towel and accept that its time to close down the business. Sarah tells Jason she wants to get married as soon as possible. Jason agrees. As Charlie and Shelley get dressed, Charlie makes it clear he didn't mean any of the things he said earlier and merely seduced her to prove she still fancied him. Shelley's horrified realising she's been used and abused by Charlie all over again. Eileen comforts Sean and makes him realise searching for his real dad isn't such a good idea. Charlie lies to Tracy and pretends he's been to the hospital looking for her. Tracy kisses him passionately.

Presse Coffee Brewer Travel Mug
Presse Coffee Brewer Travel Mug
Presse Coffee Brewer Travel Mug
Forget instant coffee – with the Presse Coffee Brewer you can enjoy a travel mug of the fresh stuff in just three minutes, that will stay hot for hours.
Instant coffee isn't a patch on fresh coffee. We all know this. But we compromise, because fresh coffee is a faff and needs all sorts of kit. But how about almost-instant coffee?
A former Kickstarter project, the Presse Coffee Brewer is a travel mug that'll filter 400mls of the fresh stuff in just three minutes. So it's not just a clever name.
Add your grounds and hot water to the outer cup, stir, and leave it for a couple of minutes. Then gently plunge the reverse-flow filter into your brew. The grounds will be filtered out and only the hot, black, nectar of the gods will remain. Thanks to the ingenious design, the used grounds will then be kept safely away, so there's no risk of a treacly over-brew. Pop the lid on and voila – coffee to go, and just the strength you like it.
Nope, we didn't just miss a step. In three minutes you'll have made a fresh, filter coffee that's ready for the road. No soggy paper to throw away, no hot equipment to disassemble, no finicky coils to scrub. The stainless steel filter can be rinsed clean in seconds and used for a lifetime. And the triple-walled design will keep your java like lava for hours, with only a hint of warmth eking into your hands. Heck, it's even dishwasher safe.
So forget the freeze-dried granules. Treat yourself to a Presse Coffee, and leave the space food for the astronauts.
The Lowdown:
- The one-cup coffee brewing travel mug
- Ready in just 3 minutes
- No paper filters, electric mechanisms, risky balancing acts or fussy coils and plungers required
- 5-piece design: Double-walled stainless steel outer cup and nesting inner cup with a silicone gasket with removable filter basket and silicone lid
- Triple insulated - double walled outer cup and single-walled inner cup keeps drinks hot for hours without burning hands
- Grounds are sealed away from the hot water after pressing so coffee cannot over-brew
- Formerly known as the Impress Coffee Brewer
- Holds approximately 14oz or 400ml

Consumers who do not wish to talk to telemarketers can choose to have their numbers listed on a special register.12 November 2008
THE HAGUE - The Upper House of Parliament has passed a new telecom law that will enable the compilation of a "don't-call-me" register.
It will be illegal for telemarketers to call consumers on the register for advertising or promotion purposes. The telecommunications watchdog Opta will take a firm line with companies which do not comply with the law.
The new law will also make it easier to cancel a subscription with telephone and internet companies. Under present regulations, contracts are often renewed for a year without consulting the consumer.
The new system will enable consumers to terminate a contract at a month's notice once the initial contract period has expired. Sending spam emails to companies will also be forbidden.

About Peking Duk
Australia's Peking Duk are an electronic production duo known for their dance-oriented, rock- and pop-influenced sound and cheeky, party-ready attitude. Formed in 2010 in Canberra, Peking Duk feature Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles. Prior to working together, Hyde had played bass in various bands and Styles had been involved in hip-hop projects. They debuted in 2011 with the singles "Bingo Trippin," and "Welcome," featuring Stef K. However, it was their 2012 bootleg remix of Passion Pit's "Take a Walk" that caught the public's attention and helped elevate their profile. Several more well-received singles followed, including "High" featuring Nicole Millar and "Take Me Over" featuring SAFIA -- both reached the Top Ten on the dance charts in Australia. "High" also won the duo an ARIA Award for Best Dance Release. In 2015, Peking Duk made their Coachella debut and delivered the EP Songs to Sweat To. Also that year, they released the single "Say My Name." The following year, they collaborated with Swedish singer Elliphant on the track "Stranger." ~ Matt Collar

Hawaiian Sweet Bread
1 2 (1/4 oz.) pkgs. active dry yeast (2 TB ) 1 1/2 c warm pineapple juice (110 degrees)
1/2 c sugar
1 c mashed cooked potatoes
2 eggs, room temperature
1/4 c butter, melted
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground ginger
4 1/2 - 5 c. all purpose or bread flour
1 TB butter, melted
In large bowl of electric mixer, stir yeast into pineapple juice until dissolved. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add sugar, potatoes, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, salt, vanilla, ginger and 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer 4 minutes or, beat 400 vigorous strokes by hand. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Cover with a slightly damp towel. Let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Grease 2 (9"x5") loaf pans or 2 (2 quart) casseroles; set aside. Stir down batter. Turn into prepared pans. Butter your fingers and 2 (12") squares of waxed paper. Smooth batter with your buttered fingers. Cover with buttered waxed paper. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom. For browner bottom crusts, remove from pans. Place directly on oven rack during final 5 minutes of baking. Brush melted butter over tops. Cool on racks. Makes 2 loaves.
Pairs Well With
If your local store carries King's Hawaiian Bread, this is the closest recipe to imitating that bread. It is a rich bread, makes great dinner rolls.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)— San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection is hoping that the Napa earthquake will be a wakeup call for owners of 2,000 soft story apartment buildings that have not been screened for seismic safety. The city's screening deadline is September 15th.
San Francisco has an estimated 6,000 soft-story buildings. These include apartments built over carports, garages, or open-commercial space.
The city's Department of Building Inspection Director Tom Hui said if they haven't been reinforced, they're not safe.

I guess the term spokesman is a bit much, seeing as that usually entails something resembling a human. I know animals have been used for car commercials before, but I can't recall too many puppets assuming the lead role. Was there ever a Muppet ad for cars? Well, in this case Ford decided otherwise for the Ford Focus campaign and went with something very unique.
OK, there are the requisite Facebook page and YouTube channel to give you all-modern, all-out blitz on the connected shopper. And by the likes of all the Facebook likes as well as the multiple Thumbs-Ups on YouTube, this new age, web-based ad campaign is hitting on all cylinders. Yes that is par for the course these days. But what isn't par for the course is the irreverent nature of the Ford Focus ads that are trying to sell a car but wind up being something far more.
Through the tried and true method of the straight man and the wacky comedian, Doug the puppet is introduced to us in three made for the web commercials, all directed by a real director Paul Feig. The ads have a very 'Arrested Development' / 'The Office' feel to them, with good timing from the jokers, a great straight-man in "John" the marketing guy who is wound tighter than a Victorian schoolmarm's underwear during religion class. He's just perfect as the always obsequious, just short of a breakdown young exec on the rise.
Doug as you can imagine is a lecherous puppet who has more come-on lines and less shame than Capt. Zap Brannigan. And Doug is darn good at being slimy. He can't keep his mouth shut, he can't stop hitting on the attractive Ford suit who shows him the car interior and exterior (just watch for the "smell my fingers" scene). And the opening commercial with him hitting on the reporter is priceless. This is not for the politically correct, which really raises an eyebrow.
However, my only gripe is that the Ford Focus, a really great car that can stand toe-to-toe with the VW Golf, gets lost in the shuffle of these ads. Yes, you can get a feel for all the features this car packs in, but the car somehow is forgotten. Which is a shame as I have been waiting to take this car for a spin. Who knows, maybe the 20 and 30-somethings this ad campaign is aimed at will say 'Man, I have go to buy me a Ford Focus so I can charm the women like Doug the spokespuppet."
Why do I think Jim Henson is spinning in his grave right now...
Ford Focus and Doug The Spokespuppet

So your newest masterpiece is ready to be mixed in SONAR's pristine 64bit audio engine for the rest of the world to hear, but are you really hearing the full range of your mix? If your monitoring system does not include a subwoofer, then you most likely are not.
While an ear can be trained to work with almost anything over time, a good monitoring system is crucial for making more accurate judgments in mixing. In my early days as a fledgling engineer, the studio I worked out of had a nice set of monitors but no sub. So what does that mean? Endless time wasted making (at that time) cassettes to run out to the car with so you could find out that the low end was either too high or too low or not hitting the right frequencies. Back to the board, hope your guess at the eq adjustment was right and then back to the car again. Better fire up the coffee machine, this could take all night.
Another very important thing to consider is the listening environment of the average listener. The majority of cars come with a subwoofer installed and most music in the home setting is played on home theater setups that include a sub. If you are not using a sub then it becomes hard to know what the public will hear when they crank up your latest tune.
Some of you may be thinking "I don't do hip hop or dance music, I'm doing Celtic blues/polka fusion." Well this still applies to you. There are lots of nasty low end gremlins that can creep into your recordings due to room noise, clashing low end frequencies of instruments and many other problems. I have experienced this myself when I put a CD of a jazz combo I recorded into my friend's car system. Out of the sub in the back I heard this horrible rumble and realized that it was on the recording! Because I couldn't hear it on the monitors, anyone with a sub would now have this bonus rumble to accompany their smooth jazz experience. Needless to say, I vowed never to let that happen again and pleaded with the studio owner to invest in a sub. He did, and I have tracked and mixed with one ever since. Not only did my mixes get way better but I also saved huge amounts of time not having to run around playing test mixes in the parking lot to see if the low end was punchy enough.
So when you're checking out our new Concrete Limiter for the Pro Channel in SONAR X1 Producer Expanded, turn on your subwoofer and feel the ground shaking effect of the Bass Lift switch!
Until next week: Have a good time, all the time!
