Progressive Politics – A Fracaso Completo
The postelection Situation
The Nov.2 elections and prior Supreme Court decisions (Citizens United) make it clear that US capitalism is unable to extricate itself from its internal contradictions and cannot deal effectively with the urgent economic, social, and economic crises.
The political process, understood as the totality of government institutions, the political parties, the lobbies, influence groups, the media – primarily TV and radio, is in gridlock.
The opinions of those who vote are manipulated by the totally unbalanced and unabashedly dishonest presentation of News and Opinion on TV and the Radio. Unlike in some other countries, notably several in Latin America, the larger public has not learned to distrust the torrent of reactionary propaganda that pours forth from the commercial media.
Only consensus legislation can pass through Congress. Historically it has not been possible to achieve consensus for "progressive" legislation, no matter how important. The measures that get passed are generally regressive, like enlarged war powers or budgetary cuts of vital social programs.
The balance of Progressive politics, of hand-wringing pleading and pious wish-thinking, in the forty years since the Lyndon Johnson presidency, is zero or negative. Now, with Republican control of the House, even Obama's health care bill, insufficient as it is, is in jeopardy.
The Senate grossly over-represents the more sparsely populated conservative middle states of the country. In federal elections (Congressional and Presidential elections) there is large-scale disenfranchisement of what would be Democratic majority constituencies: Puerto Rico (pop. 3,808,000), the territories (pop 395,000), overseas American citizens who are not registered in any state (unknown proportion of the 5 million overseas Americans). The District of Columbia (pop.572,000) has no voting Congress-person.
Convicts: Only Maine and Vermont allow voting from prisons, a mere 12 states allow voting on release from prison, 12 states, famously including the key state Florida, disenfranchise for life. The remainder variously disenfranchise during parole or probation. This is a non-negligible population: According to Wiki Link, over 7.2 million persons are on probation or parole or incarcerated in jail or prison, 3.2% of the adult population.
A substantial portion of the population, all of it potentially Democratic, has given up voting seeing no gain in it.
On balance, the claim that the US is a democracy at the federal level is a sick joke. And the Republican right wants to keep it that way.
Historically the classical capitalist response in situations of extreme systemic crisis has been Fascism.
The institutional framework of Fascism is already in place: Corporate cartels that exercise hegemonic control over politics and the media. A gargantuan military – a state within the state – that consumes 59% of the Federal discretionary budget and is as wide-flung and ever-expanding geographically as the Third Reich was. A total of 800,000 persons employed in intelligence and surveillance – a per capita total similar to that of the Stasi in East Germany. Income and asset inequality that is greater than in any other major country.
These are things that the Republican right will want to expand in the next Congress and again after the Presidential elections of 2012. The Democrats, as the moderate party of business, have been superseded historically. As in Germany in the early depression years, the political center, including the moderate Republicans, has fallen out.
The Republicans will use a further expanded military as a Keynesian-type fiscal economic stimulus and military service as a safety valve for social discontent. Arms sales will supply foreign exchange for imports. These trends are already apparent.
Yes, there are no storm-troopers running amok in the streets as there were in the formative years of Italian and German fascism. But their function was to suppress a significant organized Left that is non-existent in the US.
The situation is comparable to the rise of Fascism in Italy in the period between the march on Rome in 1922 and the assassination of Matteotti in 1924. Then too, there were formally free elections, a formally free press, and dissident speeches in Parliament.
What is to be done?
For those on the Left seeking an exit from the current impasse, new strategic and tactical thinking is in order. The immediate task must be the constitutional Re-foundation ("Reconstitution") of American Democracy to insulate it from the power of money and to make it truly representative.
The idea of Refoundation originates from the Freedom Road Socialist Organization who apply it to the to a non-sectarian reorganization of the Socialist/Progressive movement that would be capable of challenging established power. Here I adapt it in a broader context.
We must advocate the elimination of the current militarily bureaucracy , the scrapping of the many costly and unusable weapons, the release of most non-violent offenders. If there is no other means we must call for the abrogation of the Constitution. If this appears unthinkable all the more reason to forcefully advocate it.
It is essential to entirely ban political advertizing. By law all parties that make it to the ballot must be given ample presentation time in the media. Misrepresentation in attack ads must be severely sanctionned.
This is a goal to which many would subscribe. If we are Socialists popular control of the state is necessary for the realization of a more utopian future. To many of a less visionary bent, the prospect of a representative and responsible government, one that can effectively deal with the economic and the environment crises, is by itself a worthy goal.
What will be the means to achieve this goal? Maybe it could be an electoral alliance, a "Populist Party". The Alliance would unite Greens, various Socialist and Anarchist groups, Left Progressives and many who just want out from the current quagmire.
Left alliances exist and have been successful in other countries. The initial strategy would be to consolidate current disparate electoral efforts, to grow, to educate, and to legitimize the unt. The current mess is not God-given, it was made by humans and can be unmade by humans. We must emphasize that the process is obsolete, irredeemably broken, and that it must be replaced.
At first the Alliance would compete primarily in local elections which are not as subject to the stranglehold of corporate contributions, where the financial ante is manageable, and where there is a chance to be heard, elected and to then carry the message forward between election cycles. At the local level too, a vote for the Alliance would not be seen as "thrown away".
This Alliance would start out using the ballot slots already won by some of the participating groups. The Greens, with the largest electoral recognition, would at first be predominant. On a per district basis, candidates from the distinct groups would compete in a primary-like process – one part of the current political process that can be kept.
There would be no reason not to occasionally endorse major party candidates like Kucinich or Conyers on a tactical basis. However the Alliance would be in fundamental unconditional non-violent opposition to the political system as it presently stands and would not entertain vain illusions that change is possible with less than a complete overhaul.

I hesitate to admit that I watch American Idol as idols and pastors are usually incompatible. I do, however, watch it for its musical value rather than its spiritual content.
The judges leave a little to be desired, though, as they almost always spout the same comments. Randy will say, "I don't know, dog, that was a little pitchy for me. It was just okay." Paula then says, "I loved it! I love you! I love everyone and everyone will win this contest." Simon interjects in with, "I absolutely hated it. You sound like a theme park singer."
Isn't it amazing how people listening to the very same performance will have such differing views of it? It just goes to show how diverse we all are and how varied is our taste in just about everything.
The Word of God tends to do the same thing to people. It affects them differently. To one, it comforts in a time of need, to another it convicts of wrong-doing. Yet another may hear the same message and be inspired to share their faith or to do some act of kindness for another.
People have often told me that my sermon was meant just for them. Although I assure them I didn't have them in mind when I wrote the sermon, it's difficult to convince someone who just got what they needed from God's Word that it was by chance.
The Bible has a way of speaking to the heart of a person who needs it and it is proclaimed in many churches in our region. Attend one of them this weekend and hear what God has to say to you.
I'm just glad that people don't judge my sermons as they are leaving. I can almost hear it now... "Hey dog, that just okay for me. Didn't really do it for me." Another says, "We still love you." The last fellow through the line might say, "That was absolutely superb!" Hey, it's my imagination!

Bible has way of speaking to person's heart
I hesitate to admit that I watch American Idol as idols and pastors are usually incompatible. I do, however, watch it for its musical value rather than its spiritual content.
- David Sandvick - Life Lessons on Faith
- Don't just go to church, be the church We are in the middle of the summer Olympics and one can't help but root for the U.S. of A. (that is if you're from here, of course). I've watched some rowing, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball and find it an extraordinary opportunity to see such gifted athletes gathered together in one place competing at such a high level in the most popular sports in the world.
- Make right choice with church On a recent visit to Tennessee, I spoke with the wife of a Christian camp director and she related this story to me. Her husband bought her an ipod Shuffle (one of the really little ones) for a birthday present.
- Join with God in his church July is a month that many people head to the beach or to a park to enjoy a summer vacation. As I think about my own recent vacation, I am reminded of a practical joke I played on my wife.
- Seek God, his kingdom, rest will fall into place On a recent shopping outing I was asked an interesting question. As we checked out, the cashier at the department store asked, "Did you find everything okay?"
- Bible School puts back what is easily lost Have you ever noticed how many food products are "enriched" with vitamins and minerals? Actually, the term might be "re"-enriched because much of the nutritional value of foods such as bread is depleted when it is processed to give it longer shelf life. Vitamins and nutrients that are lost in this manufacturing processing are restored.
- Listen to God's still voice: 'You can do it' It was the same day that I rappelled off the tower that I climbed up its rock wall side. I had come to the conclusion that a near-50- year-old man need not prove himself anymore, when a voice in my head said, "Do it anyway!"
- You should be real sure about going to heaven I recently returned from east Tennessee after speaking for a week at a youth camp. While there, I tried to get to know the young people and participate in many of the activities with them. Tubing on the lake, swimming, rappelling, rock wall climbing, and riding go-carts all combined to make it a truly exhausting work week.
- God looking for children love him Sunday is Father's Day and the television is filled with advertisements for potential gifts that seem to follow two lines of thinking. One line of gifts I've particularly noticed are handyman type gifts.
- Christians also have a natural enemy - Satan My garden plantings are growing like weeds. Oh, wait a minute, that one was a weed. A closer inspection reveals that something is gnawing on my plants. The leaves are missing on some of the vegetation and I suspect a wabbit! I asked my wife if rabbits had any natural enemies. She said, "Elmer Fudd." She's no help at all.
- Ready soil of heart to hear word of God I was working in my garden the other day. Well, it's not really a garden as much as a patch. Actually, patch may be stretching it a bit also. Perhaps bed is the most accurate rendering. A twin size bed to be exact.

Back in the late 1970s, after Alex Haley's ROOTS was broadcast, there was a tremendous groundswell of renewed interest in genealogy. Suddenly racial heritage and ethnic pride had become popular topics, and this took many forms. Almost overnight people were wearing T's and sweats with such pronouncements as "Proud to be Polish" and "Black is Beautiful!" There were, however, some pretty amusing moments that grew from some folks' new sense of identity.
I have always felt that it is important to show concern for the proper pronunciation of students' names when calling the roll. That is why I ask them to correct me if I mangle an ethnic name, or just put the accent on the wrong syllable. Besides, there isn't a teacher alive who hasn't gotten class lists with typos on them, and students seem to appreciate this as well.
Normally, if I get a name wrong, the student will pronounce their name clearly in a loud voice, and I will thank them and make an appropriate note for myself so I get it right in the future. However, I remember once when this whole thing began to approach the absurd without anyone meaning for it to become so.
I had just called a name, Elijah Jones (not the actual name) when the student stood up and silently walked to the front of the room, stood beside me, and literally whispered in my ear that he was "no longer Elijah Jones" but had just changed his name to "Rashid Rahkim." I said "no problem" and began to make a change on my class list. "R-A-S-H-I-D" I spelled out and waited for him to either correct me or continue on with his last name. Instead, I heard nothing except for a few muffled titters coming from the other students. After a short moment, I turned and looked at him and suddenly understood the other folks' amusement at his expense. He was gazing at the ceiling and silently mouthing letters while trying to remember the spelling he wanted for his new name!
Fortunately, this moment of levity at his expense did not get out of control as everyone was sensitive enough to NOT make any condescending remarks; but I'm certain that he rehearsed the spelling of his (very) new name many times later that day.

We continue looking at Dr. Bradley's words of wisdom by looking at his postpartum tips today. Here are his insights for a family to follow right after the baby is born.
What I continue to find fascinating about his writing is that he didn't just talk about childbirth, which was built on the groundwork laid by Dr. Grantley Dick-Read. He also wrote about the MotherBaby relationship, at a time when the baby was barely even considered to be a salient being - they were still considered "parasites" inside the womb.

An 18-month investigation by Halifax County Sheriff's Investigator M. A. Womack into a series of residential break-ins and larcenies has resulted in the arrest of a Nathalie couple, according to Sheriff Stanley Noblin.
Frisco Dale Crews, 24, and his wife, Joanna Jordan Crews, 28, of 2125 Lennig Road were charged for the break-ins and larcenies primarily in the Crystal Hill, Halifax and Scottsburg communities, Noblin said.
Frisco Crews was charged with three separate felony break-ins and five separate felony grand larcenies, the sheriff said. Joanna Crews was charged with two felony break-ins and two felony grand larcenies, he added.
More charges are expected against the couple pending further investigation, the sheriff said.
"I would like to thank all the citizens of the county who provided helpful information in these investigations," Noblin said.

Types of Women's Bags:
Women's handbags serve a dual purpose: function and fashion. A woman's purse needs to carry all her daily supplies such as a wallet, organizer, cell phone, keys and lipstick. But she also wants this essential fashion accessory to accentuate her outfit and style. Different types of purses combine these two purposes to fit a woman's lifestyle
- Women generally carry a clutch when going out for the evening or to a special occasion such as a formal party, wedding or a date. Strapless, these purses must be carried under the woman's arm or in her hand. Since these bags are small, they only hold the absolute essentials such as a small wallet, keys and cell phone. Minaudiere clutches consist of a hard case, often adorned with beads or crystals. An envelope clutch resembles an envelope with a pointed flap that opens and closes the purse
- Named after an old fashioned school satchel, satchel handbags have a rectangular shape and a flat bottom so they don't easily tip over and spill. A snap or zipper usually functions as a closure on the top of the purse. Women can purchase small satchel bags or large satchel bags to suit their lifestyles. Women carry a satchel bag using double top handles. Convertible satchels can be carried by the handles or over her shoulder using a longer strap
Cross Body Bags
- Cross body bags allow a woman's hands to remain free to talk on her cell phone or finger through a rack of clothes. Cross body bags generally run on the small side. A long strap allows a woman to wear this bag diagonally across her body so she doesn't have to worry about holding her purse or the purse slipping off her shoulder as she goes about her day
- Tote bags work great for days at the beach, picnics or any other occasion when a woman has to carry a lot of items. These large bags usually features double handles and an open top that does not snap or zip shut providing easy access
Shoulder Bag & Health:
Good Posture
- Wearing a bag on your shoulder regularly or for long periods of time can lead to poor posture, as the body tries to compensate for the extra weight by leaning to one side
Cause of Pain
- Chiropractors warn that back pain, sore shoulders and stiff necks can all be symptoms of your shoulder bag. These symptoms can also lead to headaches and migraines, and may even mechanically impair your movements
Bag Size
- Oversize bags may be popular, but they can be a great source of pain if you haul around heavy books and water bottles. The straps--especially thin or chained ones--can dig into your shoulders, interfering with circulation and causing tingling, numbness, and weakness in your arms and hands
Overpacked Bags
- In addition to affecting your posture, bags that weigh more than 10 percent of your body weight can cause improper balance by interfering with your natural movement, thereby making you walk lopsided and increasing your risk of falling
Bag Management
- The American Chiropractic Association suggests choosing a bag with a wide adjustable strap that can be worn diagonally across the body, and carrying only the necessities. If this is not an option, it is recommended you switch the bag from one side to the other frequently. Also opt for structured bags, which do not affect your balance as much when the content shifts or when they're distributed unevenly inside the bag
- Children are also subject to health issues caused by heavy schoolbags. Chiropractors and physiotherapists recommend a more traditional backpack with wide shoulder straps and a waist belt for balance

"Buyers are looking beyond price and asking 'How easy is it to manage this stuff?'" says Speyer.
Falling below price on the list was a vendor's reputation, or its established presence in the marketplace.
"Certainly in the midmarket, they [buyers] are pretty savvy people," says Speyer. "They're looking for peace of mind around product fit and post-sales service support."
When asked about top storage priorities in the next 12 months, midmarket storage pros didn't surprise. Like companies of all sizes, they named storage capacity, improving data protection, and data retention and archiving as their top three choices.

Using the surprisingly versatile paintbrush, players paint lines and shapes to make magic spells, and flick rocks to beat their enemies.
The game is designed so that when the player flicks their wrist, real influences such as direction, orientation and speed affect the in-game trajectory of their rock. This gestural interface, in which the physical action of the player is mimicked in the game world, offers more intuitive control than traditional button presses.http://www.pistachioproductions.com/developer's statementAs student developers building a game for the fun of it, our overriding goal with Ocular Ink was simply to do something different. That's why the game takes place in a world of giant body parts, and why the player feeds commands into the game by painting pictures on the ground. When faced with two different game designs, monetary concerns force commercial developers to choose the one with the largest mass-appeal, whereas we routinely select the riskier, more experimental option.developer bios & credits

From the extensive range of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces to the jewellery education, birthstone jewellery and gift giving ideas, Ice Australia is already grounding itself as the number-one online jewellery destination in Australia.
In running the top-selling jewellery store on Ebay, 22-year-old Nick Molnar discovered the strong Australian desire to purchase quality jewellery at affordable prices. With this recognition came the eventual expansion of Ice, causing much anticipation and hype as Australian consumers toyed with the possibility of enjoying fast, reliable access to affordable jewellery online.

Hurricane Sandy is estimated to have caused over $30 billion in damages, including damages to broadband and cellular network infrastructure, leaving many customers in New York and New Jersey without broadband service to access the Internet for important news and information about relief and restoration efforts.
Missouri Electric Companies Expand Using Broadband: Electric Companies Now Competing With Cable and Broadband Service Providers
All four of the major cell phone companies in New York City and New Jersey said subscribers in parts of their service territories hit experienced storm related outages. In New York City, residents in downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens reported that AT&T's wireless service was unavailable. Shortly after the storm, AT&T quickly confirmed that there were outages in some areas.
According to an assessment by AT&T shortly after the storm: "As we continue to closely monitor our wireline and wireless networks for service disruptions, we are experiencing some issues in areas heavily impacted by the storm," the company said in a release immediately after the storm passed. We are in the initial stages of performing an on-the-ground assessment of our network for damage and crews will be working around the clock to restore service. We are deploying personnel and equipment as soon as it is safe to do so."
After several weeks of restoration progress, all four companies have been keeping customers updated on restoration efforts, emphasizing the degree of damage and the unprecedented damage. Verizon even posted videos on YouTube demonstrating the extent of the damage, while emphasizing the level of response form its employees
According to a recent Verizon update ,repair crews have completed 364,000 post-storm repairs across the regions damaged by the storm, and more than 1.4 million customers impacted by power outages have had their FiOS services restored.
Verizon also reported they purchased 8,500 poles since Sandy struck, compared with a monthly average of approximately 2,000 poles. The company also purchased 50,000 aerial fiber-optic drop lines that are being placed to re-connect homes and businesses to the company's fiber network. By comparison, in the prior six months before Sandy, Verizon used 68,000 aerial fiber drops. Verizon technicians have also used more than 14 million feet of wire, compared with just over 2 million feet in an average month prior to Sandy.
Massive Rebuilding of Broadband Networks After Hurricane Sandy: Major Broadband Providers Pledge Funding and Immediate RebuildingCablevision reports that it may lose as much as $40 million on Hurricane Sandy related costs, According to industry analysts, the storm will cost broadband, telephone and cable companies as much as $600 million in repair and cleanup expenses.
As a result of storm related damage, many telephone, broadband and cable companies will offer credits to customers who lost service as a result of the storm. The companies announcing plans to offer credits include Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, and Cablevision Systems.
The companies will provide credits to customers even if the outage was the result of a power failure. In addition DirecTV and Dish Network, the two largest U.S. satellite-TV providers, as well as Verizon Communications Inc.'s adopted similar policies.
Rural Telecommunication Providers Rally Against FCC USF Reform: Changes in Compensation Models Threaten Rural Telcos
According to a statement from Cablevision:
"Many of our customers have been severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy," Kristin Dolan, Cablevision's senior executive vice president of product management and marketing, said in a statement. "In addition, customers will not be responsible for any damage to Cablevision equipment caused by the storm, and will be able to exchange damaged equipment at no cost."According to a Comcast statement:
"Our hearts go out to our customers impacted by the storm, and we want to do everything we can to make things even a little easier as they go through this difficult time," said Jenni Moyer, a spokeswoman for Philadelphia-based Comcast. "Customers can contact us and identify the time period during which they did not have access to Comcast services to receive a credit. We will work with each customer who contacts us so we can be sensitive to their specific needs and circumstances."
As a direct result of the outages experienced by the victims of Hurricane Sandy, the FCC pledged to hold hearings to determine if broadband networks are resilient enough to withstand damage from future storms

I find it hard to put in writing my appreciation
for everything that Kathy did at the school. I worked with her as a
colleague and friend, and most recently coordinated with her on the BBA
study abroad course in Costa Rica in May 2009, which she was looking
forward to doing again this summer. After a recent faculty get-together
Kathy said to me that we should do this more often: we don�t take the
time we should to stop working around the clock, get together to learn
more about each other and share a few laughs. I think about that and
realize what a special person she was and how she touched all of us.
Above all, her passion for the doctoral students and the integrity of
the doctoral program stands out. So many have benefitted from her
tireless efforts and caring nature. We will miss her. My thoughts and
deepest sympathies are with Jan and the family.
Valerie Suslow
I learned that Kathy had died in the Dominican
Republic from a short email that Jan sent, on Dec. 29th. I could not
believe it. How could this be? I had seen her, strong as ever, just two
weeks before, at my house. She had been her playful and energetic self.
Sure, for years now she had been fighting infections and other
complications resulting from her throat amyloidosis. We all knew that
this was not a small thing. But she always bounced back, ready to fight
another day. And she was always so busy, moving along her long list of
research projects, and working with PhD, MBA, MPP and BBA students, and
helping with or organizing one thing or another. She was so passionate
about all her work, wanting to make a real difference in the lives of
the poor around the world through her research and her teaching. What a
big hole she leaves in our lives now that she is gone. I am grateful for
all the years of collaboration and friendship that we did share. I was
hoping for many more, however. My sincerest condolences to those who
were always most important in her life, her husband, Jan, and her two
wonderful children, Daniel and Laura, in these very difficult times.

An author platform is a means of bringing your book, work, and brand to the attention of potential book buyers.
Building an author platform means figuring out how what you have to say fits in with the needs of book buyers—and figuring out how to get the word out to those book buyers via a platform. To start building an author platform, follow these 7 steps and begin to create a following for your book now, regardless of where you are in the process of writing it.
Step 1: Begin speaking and writing about your story and the topic of your book if you haven't already. If you're writing a memoir to inspire other women to take control of their finances after a financial crisis, get your thoughts together and try them out on a Facebook page or a blog attached to a simple website. If you want to write a memoir based on your experiences, start writing—and start talking about your experience with others online and in person. Discover where people interested in what you want to say congregate in the real world and in the virtual world.
Step 2: Analyze the market. You're not the only person out there with something to say on a topic similar to yours. What are others with messages and stories like yours doing to get the word out? What social media do they use? How do they connect with their followers?
Step 3: Put down the megaphone for a minute. Communication is a two-way street. Yes, you have something to say, but you also need to listen to your followers and potential book buyers. How are you going to connect with them in such a way that you aren't just talking AT them but WITH them? How can you use social media or a blog to hear from them? How can you do a workshop with them to hear their questions for you? What do THEY need from you, your work, and your book?
Step 4: Brand yourself, your story, and your work. If you do public speaking on a topic, or have a professional reputation that's integral to the book you wish to write, you already have a brand, although it may need some tweaking. A brand is an identity or image. What is your public image? How do you get it across on your Facebook page, YouTube Channel, or website and blog that you showcase you to people outside of family and friends? If you have no brand and no public image that strangers who would be interested in your work and your book can access online, you need to get one—now.
Step 5: Find or tweak your tagline, hook, or title. If you write on parenting, what type of parent are you? What is your message to other parents? How can you sum it up in a few words that will resonate emotionally for other parents who would be interested in your work and your book? If you have a hook already, is it working for you? Did you outgrow it? Is it hard for people to remember? Too much like someone else's trademark? Play with it! Get a great tagline, hook, or title.
Step 6: Develop an online presence. It's not enough to be out and about in the real world talking about your story and your ideas. You must have an online presence that includes social media accounts. Social media not only allows you to express yourself but also allows you to get feedback and questions from others. Your fans can easily share your posts and videos with others and do publicity work for you. Don't delay creating an online presence just because you're not sure how to go about it. You can get started with a website and blog and begin blogging. Go to WordPress.com and begin WordPress blog. Or, start with a public Facebook page for your work or idea, and ask friends and family to follow it and to share your posts. YouTube is now the #2 search engine on the web (behind Google), so create some videos and a YouTube Channel. Do a browser search for tips on how to blog, how to make a video blog, how to upload a video to YouTube, and how to use Facebook. Ask a friend to help you. Take a webinar or teleseminar. Buy a book on social media. Or hire me to help you strategize your social media and online presence. I'll get you started!
Step 7: Notice what other, similar authors are doing. Check out some of the social media pages, websites, and blogs you follow for ideas. And take a look at these examples of hooks and brands some of my clients have created, and created an online presence for:
Love & Grit Victoria Treadwell's website will tell you all about her marvelous 30,000-word memoir of helping her husband triumph over brain cancer.
Mama Can't Kiss It Better: An Idealized Motherhood Lost by Lori Gertz is a Facebook page for Lori's followers. Her blog, where she writes pieces about her experience having to un-adopt the daughter she dearly loves, can be found at www.lorigertz.com Her memoir is currently being written and started with her blog.
Intuitive counselor Tara Taylor, whose tagline is Be the Master of Your Life, has a website at http://www.tarataylor.ca and public Facebook page for Tara Taylor Intuitive Tara's personal life, which led to the coaching and counseling work she does, was fictionalized into a paranormal YA series beginning with the book Through Indigo's Eyes The book was written with Lorna Nicholson who, you guessed it, has online presence for her brand, too: www.lornaschultznicholson.com and on Facebook for Lorna Schultz Nicholson, Author.
Kathi Casey, The Healthy Boomer Body Expert has a website at www.kathicasey.com Her Facebook page is Kathy Casey, Your Healthy Boomer Body Expert. and she has a YouTube channel featuring videos demonstrating her work. Her book is Stop Back Pain! and its website is www.kissbackpaingoodbye.com
Debbie Magids, psychologist, uses The Total Health Prescription as her tagline and her name as her website, www.drdebbie.com Her Facebook page is Dr. Debbie Magids Her book, available in bookstores, in online bookstores, and through her site, is All the Good Ones AREN'T Taken.
Elena Mannes, Mannes Productions, wrote the book The Music Instinct, available in bookstores, online, and through her website: She has a website for her work as a documentarian at www.mannesproductions.com
Carl Greer, author of Change Your Story, Change Your Life, forthcoming from Findhorn Press in March 2014, has a website at www.carlgreer.com and a Facebook page for Carl Greer, Author Carl Greer began his website, blog, and Facebook page after writing his book and before creating and sending out a book proposal
I began creating my website, www.nancypeske.com, and this blog (which was originally separate from the website and merged from it last year), in 2009 in order to help people learn about my work and get guidance on how to write a book, get it published, and market it. I have a Facebook page for my work as a ghostwriter and developmental editor, called Nancy Peske, Literary Editor. And as you can see, I don't just talk at people–I also love to hear what they have to say, and solicit feedback to help me become better at serving their needs and doing what I do.
Your platform won't build itself, and you don't have to wait to get your book written to start creating it. Take action now to build your platform! And follow this blog, as well as my Facebook page, for more helpful tips on building a platform, writing a book, and getting your book published.
Any other questions on platform building? Feel free to ask a question here in the comments!

UK, Fortnightly since 1862
Queen magazine focused on British "high society" and the lives of socialites and the British aristocracy from 1862 onwards. In the late 1950s under the editorship of Beatrix Miller it was restyled to serve a younger hip readership that was defined by Miller in a style-sheet. According to Clement Freud who wrote for the magazine, Beatrix Miller's targeted reader had long hair, was named Caroline, had left school at age 16, was not an intellectual, but she was the sort of person that one ended up in bed with.
When London, England became the focus of the Swinging 60s Jocelyn Stevens embraced models such as Mary Quant and embarked upon a project to reverse the U.K. Pilkington Report that denied any demand for commercial radio in Britain. Stevens helped to finance a pirate radio ship project that was also named Caroline with the initial intention of extending the targeted reader as the targeted listener. When Radio Caroline first went on the air (from a ship that was also renamed Caroline), it operated from the editorial offices of Queen magazine.
The Beatrix Miller style sheet for Caroline was given to contributing writers to the magazine because it gave authors an idea of who they were writing for. Miller left the magazine shortly after Radio Caroline went on the air and although the station changed its format when its original plan to reverse the effect of the Pilkington Report failed, the station did not change its name. Originally the radio station sounded similar to the output of the BBC but with some commercial advertising. The magazine retired the Caroline style sheet under the direction of a new editor who began to focus more upon its successful Society news that was written under the headline of Jennifer's Diary. When the radio station moved from the Queen magazine offices, a new explanation of how and why the name Caroline came to be used by the station was offered to the public in order to divert attention away from its original source. By that time there did not seem to be any chance that the station would get a license and that the Labour Government then in power would seek to close it down as a pirate radio operation.
See all covers >
- Category: Beauty
Founded in 1862 - No longer published
The history of the magazine and the history of the pirate radio station under the influence of Jocelyn Stevens more or less conclude with the passage of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act in August 1967. The station which at that time broadcast from two ships, continued until the beginning of 1968 without proper funding, when both vessels were towed away. In that same year Stevens decided to sell his magazine to rival publication Harper's Bazaar.

4. From Table menu choose Heading Rows Repeat
Correct Answer: ans4
To repeat the table heading in every page From Table menu choose Repeat Row Heading.
|Sometimes, what seems to be a difficult problem has an easy built-in solution. I ran into that recently with a Word table that was several pages long. Of course, I wanted to repeat the table's header row at the top of each page. That way, readers didn't have to return to the table's first page to learn what type of data was in a particular column. I had to stop and think for a minute, as I couldn't remember ever doing this before.
Customized menus make it easy to miss built-in features. If you don't use the item occasionally, Word doesn't display the item on the menu! It's less than intuitive, but I went back to the Table menu and clicked the double arrow to display all the menu items and there it was — Heading Rows Repeat.
To use this feature, simply click inside the header row and choose Heading Rows Repeat from the Table menu. It couldn't be simpler. Word then displays the heading row at the top of every page as long as the table continues.
18. Which shortcut keys you will use to select all the text after current cursor position?
1. Shift + End
2. Ctrl + Shift + End
3. Ctrl + End

19. Which of the following is not a type of tab stop?
1. Bar
2. Decimal
3. Point
4. Left
Correct Answer: ans3
Point is not a type of tab stop. Please refer the image below:
20. To set equal width for columns we select
1. Equal Column Width from Table menu
2. Equal Width from Table menu
3. Columns from Format menu
4. Distribute Columns Evenly

Coop Student Interview (Neutral Experience)
I applied through college or university and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Chart Industries.

The second interview is onsite. Met with supervisers in different departments and got a tour of the factory.

Dental health - Find an NHS dentist
Help is available if you're having difficulty finding an NHS dentist. NHS dental services are growing steadily. Use this advice to get NHS care locally.
To get NHS dental treatment, just contact a practice that provides NHS dentistry and ask for an NHS appointment. If you're not sure whether the practice provides NHS care, ask.
Whether you need urgent treatment or just a check-up, if you're having difficulty finding an NHS dentist, you can call the 'dental access helpline' for your local Primary Care Trust (PCT). You can find details of dentists and your local PCT dental access helpline in the following ways:
- Enter your postcode in the 'Services near you' box on the right hand side of this page to find your local NHS dental practices. This tool will also give your local Primary Care Trust's dental access helpline.
- Text 'dentist' to '64746' or `NHSGO' from your mobile phone from the area where you need a dentist.
- Call NHS Direct on 0845 4647.
Shortages of NHS dental care exist in some places, but NHS services are growing steadily.
If the dental practice you first contact is full or doesn't provide NHS care, this doesn't mean that no NHS dental care is available locally. Always check via this website and/or the PCT helpline, as there will be other local practices that may be accepting new NHS patients.
Latest survey results show that 95% of people who tried to obtain an appointment with an NHS dentist within the six months leading up to March 2010 were successful.
Common Q and As
Read the answers to the most common questions people have about dental health including 'how do I complain about my dental treatment?' and 'what can I expect from my NHS dentist?'

Earlier this week PricewaterhouseCoopers published an analysis of biotech dealmaking that showed the market was slowing down and predicted it would stay that way for the rest of 2013. Don't tell that to Adimab The company announced two more smaller deals for its antibody discovery platform on top of two large deals last month with Novartis and Biogen Idec. This time Celgene and Innovent Biologics (China) have signed up to use the technology. See Xconomy.
Celgene will turn over "multiple" biological targets for Adimab to discover antibodies against. It will also receive an option to license those antibodies from Adimab. Adimab stands to receive an unspecified up front payment, and then will get more cash down the road from milestones as those antibodies make their way through clinical development. Adimab will also get a percentage royalty should any of those antibodies become commercial drugs.
Adimab's deal with Innovent is different. The deal involves one specific target that Adimab will find an antibody toward. Innovent will then develop the antibody and Adimab would reimburse the Chinese company for some of those costs. Adimab also will retain the rights to commercialize the antibody in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Innovent would keep the rights to sell the drug in China, with Adimab getting a percentage of the associated royalties in that territory.
Both deals go to further boost Adimab's newly cash flow positive position as a result of the two big deals announced last month. If you have something of value, deals are still in the offing.

Super sexy Pistol Pete and Bruno Bond return for a hot backstage sex romp. Their two masculine bodies combine in deep, beard-rubbing kisses. They suck each before Pete sits on Bruno's face as Bruno's hot tongue darts in and out of Pete's hairy manhole. Soon Pete is grinding his ass back onto Bruno's hard dick.

Our Story
Laugh to Cure MND is an awareness and fundraising campaign established with the objective of finding a cure to Motor Neurone Disease while - you guessed it - making people laugh.
Pat & Angie Cunningham are a Melbourne-based couple with 2 daughters, and a little mutt* called Mack. Angie has Motor Neurone Disease.
Angie played and worked on the Women's Tennis Tour for over 15 years. Her friends in the tennis community have generously rallied** together to help kick off the Laugh to Cure MND campaign.
With no cause, effective treatment or cure for MND, Angie says 'laughter is the best medicine' ... but with your help we can find a better one! This campaign allows us to have a laugh while accumulating and investing funds into finding a more effective treatment and ultimately a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.
* he was a "sweet little puppy" until he peed on our new rug **comedy genius right there
Thanks Alicia!!
