For 401k plans, you pay the money into the plan every paycheck. When the person retires, no more money is paid into the account. The retiree draws upon the money saved during his working years. All the costs are up-front, borne by the people who received the benefit from the work done.
With pensions, all the promises are up front. Then people who come along later are stuck with the bill -- paying for more and more in pensions and getting less and less in government services.

Climate Change Ups the Ante for Flood Insurance Reform
Flooding disasters in Australia and Brazil are a reminder that it can happen here. More than ever, climate change makes the time right for reform of the U.S.'s National Flood Insurance Program.

Businesses with multiple locations can become thorny from a legal and tax point of view. While none of the shipping and manufacturing of your products is being done in the United States, you will be soliciting orders from -- and, presumably, needing a bank account for payments in -- the United States. Therefore, the threshold question becomes whether that activity alone creates enough "contact" with a particular state to require that you register your company there.
What is considered contact? Having a physical office within the state, making regular business trips into the state and repeatedly soliciting for clients within the state (as in a directed advertising campaign), to name a few [b]. It would be wise to speak with an attorney who understands international "jurisdiction" issues. Also speak to your accountant: Just because you don't have to register as an entity in your state doesn't mean that you won't have to pay taxes on income derived from there. Overall, you may find that the simplest, most elegant and most cost-effective solution would be to register in Brazil.
Question added to topic Ask Entrepreneur •
October 19, 2012
Where Should I Register My Online Business?
I live in the U.S., but I am starting an online business in Brazil and I will be selling Brazilian products through my site. There will be no shipping from the U.S since all the products are in Brazil. However, I am creating the website here in the U.S. Do I need to register the business here in the U.S., in Brazil or in both?

Found January 24, 2013 on
Fox Sports:
Joe Gibbs Racing brings a new mix to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this season, adding veteran Matt Kenseth to the lineup of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin.
Ever since the move was announced, people have been predicting that the addition of Kenseth would change the team.
They didn't see this coming, though.
Kenseth, the 2003 Sprint Cup champion, is known for his consistent performances and annual runs for the title. For those who follow him on Twitter or listen to him week to week, he's also known for his dry wit.
At the Joe Gibbs Racing shop on Thursday, he showed that he can spice things up among his rowdier young teammates.
As Busch was going over details of his new contract extension, and joking that he had bankrupted team owner Joe Gibbs, the gamesmanship began.
"We already gave him all the best stuff," Busch said of Kenseth. "He was the fastest Toyota car down at the Daytona test. What else we got to do?"
"That was part of my deal. Kyle might have got all the money, but I got all the good stuff," Kenseth replied.
Oh yeah?
"That's all right, I make up for it in talent." Busch responded.
But they weren't done. Hamlin piped in that he had coached Kenseth on that opening Daytona International Speedway test run, trying to buoy his spirits in case things didn't go well.
"Don't be discouraged about our speedway program," Hamlin said. "It's not very good."
Obviously, Kenseth disputed that notion.
As the trio appeared to settle down, new Nationwide Series driver Brian Vickers fanned the flames once more. Looking at Kenseth, he asked, "Didn't you win a championship already?"
Busch wasn't about to let that go, either.
"That was a long time ago," he quipped.

The Region IV Narcotics Task Force and the New Mexico National Guard Aviation Unit teamed up for marijuana eradication recently, conducting fly-over missions of San Miguel and Mora counties.
Agents from the air located a grow site near Tecolote, a news release stated. Joe F. Griego was arrested by agents on the ground, the release said.
After hearing opposition from area superintendents recently, the state Public Education Commission denied an application for the proposed Luna Charter Academy.
Luna was among eight proposed charter schools that did not pass muster during a meeting last week.The commission did approve seven charter schools that included four in Albuquerque and one each in Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Taos.
Charges have been dropped against school officials and coaches accused of not reporting a series of attacks at a football camp last year — and at least one victim's parents, as well as the prosecutor who initially filed the charges, aren't a bit happy about it.
Eight years ago, the Las Vegas City Council passed a water conservation ordinance. As many residents know, part of that law calls for stages of conservation as water shortages worsen.
Now the city is looking to revise it.
But in so doing, local officials should be realistic. If they can't follow through on the provisions of the ordinance, then those requirements shouldn't be included in the first place.
In light of City Hall antics, it's sometimes tempting to curtail the powers of the mayor and City Council.
The Charter Commission, a panel appointed by the governing body, has made no bones about drafting a new city charter that seeks to keep the council and mayor under control. The panel is working to replace the 40-year-old city charter.
The Las Vegas Robertson High School FFA students who are competing at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis would like to thank the Mora/San Miguel County Fair Association, and all of the many wonderful FFA supporters that attended that event and either bought raffle tickets from our students or bid on merchandise at our silent auction. As a result of your support, we were able to raise a substantial amount that will help us to travel to Indianapolis and represent Mora and San Miguel Counties, as well as Las Vegas Robertson and the State of New Mexico.
A Las Vegas woman whose doors were open to all in need is now in need herself.
Amalia Montaño, 89, of 1003 Commerce St., lost her home to an electrical fire early Monday. Her daughter and five of her grandchildren were living with her. All escaped injury, but they lost everything, including their home, furniture and clothing.
Other matters that surfaced at Wednesday's Las Vegas City Council meeting included:
• Utilities Director Ken Garcia said that since the Stage II water restrictions were imposed Aug. 17, there has been about a 10 percent drop in demand and a slight increase in storage. He said as long as storage continues to increase, there will be no need to go the Stage III restrictions.
San Miguel County Sheriff Benjie Vigil told county commissioners at a meeting Tuesday that he wanted a yes or no vote immediately on standard operating procedures for using Tasers by his deputies.
But board Chairman David Salazar said he and other board members wanted to table the issue until Vigil had a chance to present his case for Tasers "fully and completely."
The Las Vegas City Council passed a resolution Wednesday to manage parking around Robertson High School — after much discussion about a detail that had been left out of the plan.
The resolution designates certain blocks along Fourth and Fifth streets and Friedman and Baca avenues as either residential parking only or no parking areas. Signs will be put up to specify the areas.

Grit Index: Corbin good enough, continues historic start in D-backs' win
Corbin is just the third D-backs pitcher and the first left-hander to start the season 8-0. The others were Brandon Webb in 2006 and 2008 and Micah Owings in 2011. The Diamondbacks also have had success as a team when Corbin is on the mound. Overall, Arizona is 10-0 when he's started in 2013. That's the most consecutive team wins by a starter in club history.
As for the offense, Arizona got to San Diego right-hander Jason Marquis early. Veteran Martin Prado is starting to find his swing and recorded four hits to tie a career high. Prado now has back-to-back games with at least three hits for the seventh time in his career. The rest of the offense came from an Eric Chavez two-run homer in the first inning and a Corbin RBI single in the sixth. Chavez homered in back-to-back games for the first time since August 2012.
The bullpen closed out the game for the D-backs, helping Corbin secure his eighth win. Brad Ziegler, Matt Reynolds and Heath Bell took care of the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.
The Good
The D-backs are now 4-1 in their last five home games after struggling earlier in the season to get wins at Chase Field. They're also 11-5 in series finales.
The Bad
Center fielder Gerardo Parra did not reach base Sunday as the lead-off hitter. He did record a sacrifice fly in the second inning and finished 0-for-4.
Sunday marked the first time in 2013 that starter Patrick Corbin gave up more than two earned runs in an outing.
He Said It
"He just had to work his way through it. Obviously it's a different situation, he's on a new team and probably puts some pressure on him to excel. I moved him all around and it's just not as easy as it looks just cause you hit .290 or .300. It's a tough business, it's a tough deal. But to his credit, he's worked his tail through it." -- Manager Kirk Gibson on the recent success of Martin Prado at the plate.
What's Next?
The Diamdonbacks will host the Texas Rangers in a doubleheader Monday at Chase Field. The game one starter will be Tyler Skaggs and the game two starter is Trevor Cahill. Skaggs got the call-up after the club decided that Ian Kennedy could not pitch due to a cut on the index finger of his throwing hand. He cut the finger while washing a serrated knife at home. For Skaggs, in nine starts in Triple-A Reno, he went 4-5 with a 5.23 ERA. He entered 2013 as the D-backs' top-ranked prospect by Baseball America and MLB.com. First pitch for game one is a 12:40 p.m. and game two is scheduled for 6:40 p.m.

NACUBO Letter Asks GASB to Reconsider Financial Projections
March 22, 2012
NACUBO comments advise the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) against requiring financial projections in the audited financial statements. On March 16, 2012 NACUBO submitted a formal comment letter to the Preliminary Views (PV) "Economic Condition Reporting: Financial Projections" released by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). NACUBO comments, developed with input from the Accounting Principles Council (APC), acknowledge the importance of forward-looking information for management but caution against including such information in the audited general purpose external financial statements.
The PV addresses economic condition reporting and would compel as required supplemental information (RSI) financial projections and percentage information for total and major individual cash inflows and cash outflows. NACUBO points out that Concepts Statement 1, "Objectives of Financial Reporting," does not provide a sufficient foundation for financial projections in the audited financial statements. Rather, Concepts Statement 1 acknowledges that users of financial statements may always need to go to other sources of information to fully analyze and understand a government's economic condition.
NACUBO comments also stress that per Concepts Statement 3, "Communication Methods in General Purpose External Financial Reports That Contain Basic Financial Statements," RSI should not contain subjective information or predictions about the effects of future events. The purpose of RSI is to provide information essential for an understanding of the specific historical data presented in the financial statements or notes. Because the proposed forward-looking financial information is subjective, NACUBO also expressed concern that auditors will need additional time to understand and get comfortable with the information.
Finally, NACUBO advised the Board against the (at a minimum) five-year projection timeline in the proposal. The letter states:
Subsequent to the economic collapse, in the fall of 2008, the vast majority of public institutions had their state appropriations immediately or retroactively cut - many by double digit percentages. What value would financial projections have been in the FY08 financial statements after the bottom fell out of the economy during FY09? What value would five-year projections have been in FY08 as the economy continues to slowly recover in 2012? Would universities now be facing litigation from donors who made contributions in 2008 based on financial projections only to see the value of their contributions decline significantly?
Higher education representatives will testify on these issues at a public roundtable on April 17, 2012. The complete comment letter is available on NACUBO's website.

Completely agree. We already have a medal for Iraq. How many do we need?
As soon as I read the title for this new load of crap medal coming out for Iraq the only thing I could think about was how Iran controls that airspace to supply weapons to forces that we currently oppose. I don't see too much commitment, lets just drop this medal already.
If I stay in this beloved Corps I vow to try my hardest to put a kink in the careerism and duechebaggary that plagues the ranks in an attempt to prevent the downfall of a lethal, vigorous and purportedly adaptive force.
Completely agree. We already have a medal for Iraq. How many do we need?
Come on, you Marines! Don't you want to look as decorated as an Air Force guy/gal that has done four years and has a decidedly leftward slump, because of all of the medals that he or she has 'earned', weighing that proud airthings left side chest down?
Just joking with y'all.
There is a precedence for this... remember 1991? Southwest Asia Service Medal with up to 3 campaign stars + Liberation of Kuwait Medal (from Kuwait) + Liberation of Kuwait (from Saudi Arabia). That was also a National Defense Service Medal award period. Based on that, I would guess none of the Iraq Campaign Medal periods would be revoked since the SWASM was concurrently awarded.
When things go wrong in your command, start searching for the reason in increasingly larger concentric circles around your own desk.

text: Just wondering when to call my ob/gyn for my first appt. On one hand, I'd like to avoid the medical hooplah for as long as possible (which is why I haven't called to find out). On the other, I'm guessing he's going to want to do a ultrasound based on my history and to check for dates - 1st tri ultrasounds seem to be pretty much the norm for ob/gyns these days. While I'd like to delay an ultrasound as long as possible, I know the longer I delay it the less accurate it is for dates and I'm not sure how much credence he's going to give to my chart. I don't want him to make the due date any earlier. Arrrggghhh : I know I can refuse, but I'm also trying to pick my battles. Have I mentioned how much I *love* the medical model

Just answer yes or no, I'm just curious.
How many site designers that read this forum have little or unknown secrets that they know that can increase rankings in search results that they do not make public in fear of competition (ones that are not located on-line)? I have a few and want to keep the edge on competitors, I'm just curious of how many people are out there that do the same.

Subscribe ]]>These days, teachers are:
How can teachers address these competing demands? In the NCLE survey findings, teachers say that working with other educators is the most powerful form of preparation for implementing new initiatives and standards. Unfortunately, the amount of time that teachers have to work with their colleagues is shrinking with 36% having less than 30 minutes of collaboration time per week.
Based on survey results from approximately 3,000 teachers, the report clearly highlights a way that administrators and policymakers can help teachers respond to these pressures – support for teacher collaboration. Collaboration gives teachers the opportunity to:
A great deal of research (including past reports from NCLE and NCTAF's own research) shows that high-performing schools have collaborative cultures, and that collaboration positively impacts student learning. The acceleration of improvement as a result of collaboration can happen in many settings –PLCs, in STEM Learning Studios, and in literacy-focused collaborative teams. The NCLE report provides a firm foundation for states and school districts to develop systems and structures that facilitate and support collaboration so any teacher, at any stage of his or her career, can be set up for success in the classroom.
There has been some push back about the Common Core State Standards. It is our hope that these preliminary growing pains do not overshadow the promise the standards offer to make sure that students, across all states, are well-prepared to succeed in college or the workforce. In addition, this is also an opportunity to attract and retain the most effective teachers and build the profession of teaching. NCTAF will continue to raise visibility on what matters most, and to provide a platform for the teacher voice to be heard. After all, teachers are the front line for implementing the standards and ensuring students receive a high-quality education.
My high school freshman recently told me that she thought learning with the Common Core State Standards sounded "hard." She went on to say that they seemed so different from how she had always learned in school. To that second point, I said, "Exactly!"
The Common Core State Standards are about learning differently. They set the stage to prepare students for a world that is dependent on skills like communication, synthesis, and collaboration. The standards are about facilitating active and deeper learning for students and helping them to take ownership of their learning – not for the purpose of succeeding on a test but for the purpose of having a fulfilling and successful career someday. They are about engaging students to apply what they are learning to relevant and real-world issues in their communities and world.
It is time for all sides to join together in support of the Common Core State Standards to move American education to the next level.
]]>On February 5th, educators, policy makers, and tech stakeholders gathered at the Library of Congress to celebrate the 3rd annual Digital Learning Day and the groundbreaking learning that is taking place in K-12 education. This event, hosted by the Alliance for Excellent Education, celebrated best practices in digital learning and emphasized the opportunities for digital expansion in K-12 classrooms. The event kicked off with a big announcement by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who explained the Obama administration's plan to expand the E-Rate program by $2 billion, with a goal of bringing Internet connectivity to 99% of schools in five years. This connectivity is critical for supporting 21st century schools and classrooms. A 2013 survey from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) found that 70% of educators believe there is not enough bandwidth in their schools, especially in urban areas (Source: CAP's "Why Too Many Schools Live in an Analog World – and What We Can Do About It").
NCTAF President Melinda George attended this year's Digital Learning Day event and observed presentations from educators and students showcasing their use of digital learning in the classroom.
"Digital learning is a game changer for schools," said George. "The potential and possibilities are endless. As we collectively work to accelerate digital learning, NCTAF encourages a strong focus on coherent professional development and collaboration time among teachers to improve student achievement. Educators experience a lot more support when engaged with a team that is learning and growing together. The ideas, the demonstrations, the risk-taking, and the learning are so much stronger when teams of teachers feel supported together. I was most excited by the panel that included teachers from West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District (NJ) and Quakertown Community School District (PA). They demonstrated through their videos and words that they have adopted a new paradigm for teaching – one where everyone is a learner. New tools and technology empower teachers and students to personalize learning in creative ways that are fun, engaging, and relevant."

Subscribe ]]>When STEM Learning Studios launched at Patuxent Valley Middle School three years ago, the program's scope was limited to a single team of six teachers implementing interdisciplinary projects with their students, with the assistance of outside content experts in the community. Through the powers of collaboration, the team of teachers in Howard County, Maryland has extended its reach to impact the entire school community as part of STEM Learning Studios. The team hosted a STEM Night last week to invite the entire community in to meet the scientists with whom they have developed long-term collaborative partnerships.
Since 2011, the teachers have partnered with NASA-Goddard Earth scientists to develop lessons linking authentic scientific research to real issues in their community, such as investigating "How does our school impact the environment?" The teacher team has successfully leveraged its collaborative partnership with NASA to reach out to other STEM industry experts in the community, including Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Naval Academy, who joined STEM Night as session facilitators.
The evening reinforced the projects that students are developing across all their classrooms, where STEM is no longer relegated to science class alone, but incorporates the expertise of teachers in language arts, social studies, and math. (For an example of how math students collaborated with NASA scientists last year at Patuxent Valley, check out this blog.) The teachers will continue their project planning with NASA-Goddard scientists at the next NCTAF-faciliated Design Session in February, where the educators will continue to develop engaging, real-world-based authentic learning opportunities for the students of Patuxent Valley Middle School.
During our first Design Session of the year, the NCLE Framework for Capacity Building was introduced to the school teams as a reflective tool to improve their work together. For several of the districts, we had NCLE provide background information and an overview of the tool's purpose and process. Individual teachers then took the survey rating themselves across the six domains and noted potential collaborative strategies that they might want to try.
Ratings and strategies were then aggregated. Teams were asked to facilitate a discussion around which domains were the strongest and weakest, as well as to select an area that they want to work on together to improve. The teams then settled upon some strategies to build their capacity for the upcoming school year. As part of a reflective exercise for our quarterly Design Sessions, the teams will return to their survey results and provide evidence of making progress towards their collaboration goals. At the end of the year, they will re-take the survey to evaluate and reflect on their growth of collaborative culture.
NCTAF is also using the findings from the survey as formative evaluation feedback to support the team strategies through targeted professional learning opportunities and resources. For example, peer observation in the Deprivatizing Practice domain was identified as a major weakness. In response, NCTAF is designing a peer observation tool for structured feedback on project-based learning. Because of weaker scores in the domain of Using Evidence Effectively, NCTAF is also providing structured supports and protocols for examining curriculum, student work, and data that could be used for systematic progress monitoring and development of valid assessments.
]]>This is one of my favorite quotes. It rings as true today, as when Mead first said it more than 50 years ago.
In my 12 years as the President of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, I have been fortunate to work with a dedicated team of people, who are and have been determined to transform schools infused with factory-era teaching into 21st century learning organizations that engage students in deeper learning to meet the challenges of a global economy.
We have made great strides, and I am proud of the Commission's legacy of work and its deep commitment to give every child in America access to quality teaching in schools organized for success.
Recently, I came to the conclusion that the time is right for me to explore an encore career that will balance my commitment to innovative teaching and learning with rewarding family time. With that said, I will be retiring from NCTAF on March 1.
However, I will continue to support NCTAF's mission as the President Emeritus. It is my pleasure to announce that our current Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Melinda George, has been appointed the Commission's next President.
This is an exciting time in education and I have complete confidence in Melinda's ability to stay the course as the NCTAF Commission works to build a 21st century teaching profession.
Staying the Course …
Tom is a true leader and visionary and I am so glad that I have been able to work closely with him over these last two-and-a-half years. As I prepare to step into this position, it is comforting to know that he remains available to offer wisdom and insight.
NCTAF has a long history of being a strong proponent for teaching and in this time of global competition and educational reform, we will use our national voice to advocate support for teachers through collaboration and teamwork, new tools and technology, and personalized growth and learning. These key areas are critical to improve education for children across the United States.
As we continue to tackle the challenges that affect the teaching profession, it is a true privilege to formulate strategies with our amazing commissioners, led by our Co-Chairs, the former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley and former Education Commission of the States President Ted Sanders.
NCTAF is approaching its 20th anniversary and we are taking stock of how far the teaching profession has come, and which areas still need to be addressed. Our group of thoughtful, committed citizens is staying the course to make an even greater impact on the teaching profession. Look to hear more from the Commission as we move forward in 2014!
]]>In December, teachers analyzed student-collected data, along with their workforce partner at The National Institutes of Health, Lisa Russell, who has helped teachers refine their data collection techniques. Feedback from Lisa prompted teachers to revise the format of the students' food diaries so that the data collection methods would be uniform across their classrooms.
Having uniformity also allows the Learning Studio team to identify trends to compile in a "food desert" map – a plan that originated from their discussions in early fall with Sarah Buzogany from the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative. The team will utilize the map to draw conclusions about ways to improve the quality of food that students consume, as well as trends in food access issues within their community.
Another beneficial collaboration stemmed from connecting the teacher team with Laura Hopkins and Betsy Anderson from the Johns Hopkins Global Center on Childhood Obesity. The researchers are also involved in the Maryland Healthy Stores Initiative, which aligns with the teachers' overall project, and even features ground-level research and advocacy in the very same community that Violetville serves.
In December, Laura and Betsy shared data-gathering techniques, such as photo narratives that link qualitative research techniques with elementary-level literacy content and standards. The teachers plan to integrate the photo narrative assignment into their overall project plans to allow students to create their own narratives about food and nutrition in their community.
So what's next for these educators? In a few weeks, the team will meet with the district's Salad Bar Coordinator as they aim to turn advocacy into action and bring a salad bar to their school's cafeteria. Ideally, with the installation of a salad bar, students will be able to compare pre- and post-food diary data to track changes over time – just like a professional food and nutrition research team.

See Fun. In Chicago [CONTEST]

Mix 93-1 wants you to meet Fun. backstage before their show in Chicago at the Riviera Theatre in November!
Pink is one pop artist whose style makes her versatile enough to hang with rappers, rockers and everyone in between. Accordingly, her upcoming 'The Truth About Love' album will feature guest appearances from Eminem and 'We Are Young' singer Nate Ruess of Fun.
Carly Rae Jepsen is more than capable of writing and performing a pop hit by her lonesome — see the ever-ubiquitous 'Call Me Maybe' for proof — but she really likes working with other artists, too. She's adding more to her roster, which already includes Owl City, Justin Bieber and Redfoo of LMFAO. Who's up next?
The band fun. moseyed on over to 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' on June 22 to give their first TV performance of their new single 'Some Nights.' And we do have to put it out there that we're more than obsessed with this song. As much as we love 'We Are Young,' it's about time this song gets some attention.
Following their smash performance at the MTV Movie Awards, Fun. delivers a strong video for 'Some Nights,' the second single off of their sophomore album of the same name. The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, is set during the Civil War, and starts off with a moment of intimacy between two young adults that is interrupted by battle.
When artists have a hit song, they are often complimented by having other artists perform their song on stage and during interviews. That's happening right now to new Mix artist Carly Rae Jepsen and her song "Call Me Maybe".
As acts that seemingly came out of nowhere to score the year's two biggest hits so far, fun. and Gotye have a lot in common. The guys of fun. have paid tribute to their fellow chart-topper with a cover of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore.
The 2012 MTV Movie Awards get a few new categories this year including the new category of Best Music. While the popcorn buckets will be handed out, pop group sensation Fun. will perform during the show.
If there is ever a dull moment around here, it sure is hard to find. I never come to work and not leave without laughing at something or thinking about the crazy things that happened during the day.

How to Start Listening to Your Body
By Deepak Chopra
Oprah.com | December 30, 2009
This may be hard to believe, but as a doctor I've seen many patients with beautiful, young, so-called perfect bodies who never listen to them. They are too worried to know what their bodies are actually saying. They are too wrapped up in body image and the whole scam about being perfect. Ironically, their bodies are all in their heads.
Your body and mind are meant to be a whole, and to ensure that they are, your whole existence is based on feedback loops. Body listens to mind; mind listens to body. Awareness is the link. Make no mistake: Every cell knows when you are unhappy, anxious or stressed. A cell's awareness is expressed in chemical reactions instead of words. No matter. The message comes through loud and clear.
Last week, we applied this to eating.
Problems with diet, weight and body image begin in the mind, but as the body carries out the bad messages coming from the mind, it begins to mirror those messages and the beliefs that lie behind them. That's why supermodels often get no happiness from their physical "perfection." Indeed, the better their bodies look, the more obvious it is to them that they don't deserve to have such a body or that it will betray them.
Let's broaden the topic this week. What can you do to start listening to your body? The most basic elements are as follows:
Feel what you feel.
Don't talk yourself into denial.
Accept what you feel.
Don't judge what's actually there.
Be open to your body.
It's always speaking. Be willing to listen.
Trust your body.
Every cell is on your side, which means you have hundreds of billions of allies.
Value spontaneity.
Emotions change, cells change, the brain changes. Don't be the policeman who stops the river of change by blocking it with frozen, fixed beliefs.
Enjoy what your body wants to do.
Bodies like to rest, but they also like to be active. Bodies like different kinds of food that are eaten with enjoyment. Bodies like sex and pleasure in general.
What part does spirituality play in listening to your body?
These are all primary things to pay attention to. Yet on a subtler level, bodies like to be spiritual. Bliss and ecstasy don't belong in the souls of saints alone. They course through the body, bringing a sense of ease, lightness, alertness, energy and exuberance. Your cells feel all these things and want you to feel them too. How? By learning, day by day, to pay more attention to what your body is saying. As the layers of indifference, judgment and denial peel away, the underlying joyful life will emerge.
One of the most basic ways to be aware is by grounding yourself in the body. There is no mystery to it. Simply feel your body whenever you've been distracted. Let's say you're driving a car, and somebody cuts you off. Your normal reaction is to be agitated or angry; you jump out of the calm, relaxed focus that connects you to the mind-body field. Instead of being overshadowed by this disruption, just go within and feel the sensations of your body. Take a deep breath, since that is an easy way to come back to body awareness.
Keep your attention on these sensations until they disappear. What you've done is cut off the stimulus response with a gap. A gap is an interval of nonreaction. It stops the reaction from fueling itself. It reminds the body of its natural state of harmonious, coordinated self-regulation. And that grounds you. It's easy because harmonious self-regulation is the body's ground state. Stress pulls you into another state of heightened biological response that triggers a flow of hormones, increased heart rate, hypervigilance of the sense and many other linked reactions.
But all are temporary; they are emergency measures only. If you allow the stress reaction to become a habit, however, disharmony enters the field of mind and body. The normal state of relaxed awareness tries to co-exist with the disrupted, agitated state of the stress response. The two don't mix; they aren't meant to exist at the same time.
Anytime you're feeling distracted, overwhelmed, stressed or overshadowed, there's a tendency to escape. The state of denial is an escape. Distracting yourself through overwork is an escape. Altering your mind with drugs and alcohol is an escape. What they all have in common is absence of awareness. You numb or distract yourself under the false belief that unawareness will help you, while being too aware will only increase your pain. In reality, the opposite is true. Awareness heals because awareness is the only thing that is truly whole and healing is fundamentally a return to wholeness.
3 practical things you can do right now to get on the road to awareness
In my book
The Ultimate Happiness Prescription
, these issues are dealt with in detail. The section on body awareness ends with three practical things you can do today. To get on the path to increased awareness, say the following to yourself and then carry your words into action:
I will make choices to maximize the energy in my body
My body is my connection to the infinite supply of energy in the universe. If am feeling lack of energy in any way, it means that I am resisting the flow of this infinite supply. I will ask my body what it needs and will sincerely follow its advice. The ideal state is to experience such lightness that I do not feel bounded by my body. It and the world are one.
Before I act on any emotion, I will consult my heart
My heart is a reliable guide when I trust it. It monitors the emotions of others around me. This helps me experience empathy, compassion and love. The heart is the seat of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence allows me to get in touch with my deepest self. It nurtures all relationships by reminding me to see myself in the other.
Lightness of being in my body will be my indicator of happiness
If I feel heavy or dull in my body, I will pay attention because these feelings are signs that I am inertia and the dreariness of habit over the potential that every moment has for freshness and new life(NOTE: does this mean sense? he is the dreariness of habit?). The best way to replenish my body is to give it what it needs most, whether it's sleep, rest, life-giving nourishment, the joy of movement or communion with nature.
Deepak Chopra

Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul
, and
The Ultimate Happiness Prescription

Channels 102 and 155.
Are you listening to your body? How do you feel right now? Do you feel aware to what your body is telling you?

The Vikes played their hearts out last night. We are so proud of them for a great game and a terrific season. The emotions of the evening as well as some very questionable ref calls made for an almost impossible game to win. Besides, the Wildcats had #52 on their side...they deserved to win. 29+23=52

Abstract: | This paper presents an algorithm for segmenting and measuring retinal vessels, by growing a "Ribbon of Twins" active contour model, which uses two pairs of contours to capture each vessel edge, while maintaining width consistency. The algorithm is initialized using a generalized morphological order filter to identify approximate vessels centerlines. Once the vessel segments are identified the network topology is determined using an implicit neural cost function to resolve junction configurations. The algorithm is robust, and can accurately locate vessel edges under difficult conditions, including noisy blurred edges, closely parallel vessels, light reflex phenomena, and very fine vessels. It yields precise vessel width measurements, with sub-pixel average width errors. We compare the algorithm with several benchmarks from the literature, demonstrating higher segmentation sensitivity and more accurate width measurement. |

A trip to a nature preserve in most huge American cities will cost you an energy-sapping drive through sprawling "chain-store ghost towns" and subdivisions, but New York City is full of places where the concrete ends and the region's sundry ecosystems take over. The Giuliani regime may have made a step toward bleaching street life, but it can't eclipse the city's legacy of green-oriented urban planners and progressive conservationists (not to mention guerrilla gardeners). Beyond Central Park, Prospect Park, and the other staples lie some of the richest pieces of this legacy. Getting to a lot of these spots takes some extra time, but that's exactly what keeps any good boondock hideaway from being overrun.
With New York City's most comfortable season on its way (on average, there are actually more sunny days in September and October than in the summer), you may want to spend your lunch money on a map. What follows is a selection of some of the city's best fall getaway spots. All are accessible by public transportation and have excellent paths for exploring.
Five-Borough Foliage Hunt
The city's anemic street trees just don't possess the chlorophyll for a blitz of fall color, but every borough has a few stunning forest preserves with the kind of mottled awtum splenda that Northeasterners rave about.
STATEN ISLANDThe info-packed Wild New York field guide conducted a survey a few years back to find the healthiest forest ecosystem in the five boroughs. The Staten Island Greenbelt took the prize. Officially designated in 1984, this 2500-acre "belt" is made up of public and private recreational land threaded together with 28 miles of hiking trails (most of which are accessible by bus or train). It's nothing less than a godsend for outdoor enthusiastsand Staten Island teens who spraypaint pot leaves on the rocks. Don't miss the surreal hike up to the top of Todt Hill, which is the Atlantic coast's peak point south of Maine. The rentable rowboats at Clove Lakes Park (718-390-8000) are another incentive. Call High Rock Park (718-667-2165) for a comprehensive map of the Greenbelt.
THE BRONXNudging right up against Westchester County, the Bronx's overlooked Van Cortlandt Park (718-430-1890) holds some of the city's most untethered woodlands, the Northwest Forest being the crown jewel. The park's varied terrain also makes for ideal hiking. A lesser-known treasure is the Old Putnam Trail, a defunct commuter rail that once ran all the way up to Putnam County. You can access this trail from its point adjacent to the No. 1 train stop at 242nd, where it leads all the way out of the park and into Westchester County! Some of the fairly unmanaged stretches of the Old Putwith its wide, smooth dirt path and rusted bridges and platforms are the perfect place to reenact a scrubby East Coast version of Stand by Me, or maybe a Boogie Down version of the Andy Griffith intro.
QUEENSSay a prayer for all those fermented street puddles when you visit the glacial kettle ponds, tidal creek, and spring-fed pond at the 600-plus-acre Alley Pond Park(800-201-PARK). The borough's largest preserve is also one of the most pristine natural areas in the entire city. Between the park's saltwater and freshwater sections are trails that blaze through lush stands of black oak and beech trees.
MANHATTAN"There's no place like home!" cries the clueless Manhattanite as he clicks his loafers together in the woods of the island's own Inwood Hill Park (408-0264). The joke's on himthough who would guess that Manhattan had any native forest left at all, much less this teeming 196-acre tract at the island's northern tip? Wild New York ranked Inwood Hill third in its Forest Eco-Awards survey (Van Cortlandt's Northwest Forest ranked second).
BROOKLYNFlushing Victorian ideals of natural beauty down the toilet, the bizarre municipal-airport-turned-park in Floyd Bennett Field (718-338-3799) is one of the most uncommonly beautiful landscapes in the five boroughs. Accessing and exploring it (by bus or by bike) is time-consuming, but once you get out to this bayside prairie in Jamaica Baywhere old airplane runways cut through the city's largest grasslands preserve, and the hazy Manhattan skyline hangs in the distanceyou'll be thankful. The fall-foliage attraction here, also uncommon, can be found along the intimate North Forty Nature Trail, which winds through a very diverse stand of young coastal forest. The absence of dark canopy makes for a cheerful and ultracolorful ramble. Keep in mind that up and around the bay in Queens, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (718-318-4340) offers many more trails.
Wetter Lands
Creature From the Black Lagoon and its many knockoffs probably didn't help popularize brackish, hyperfertile ecosystems like bogs, swamps, and marshes. But during the day, New York's waterlogged landscapes are as transcendental as they are scary. Here are some prime places to explore, with well-maintained trails and nothing following youexcept for the mosquitoes, unless you wait until around the second week of September for them to die down.
NEW YORK'S BIGGEST PARKBesides the crowds at Orchard Beach, you never hear much about Pelham Bay Park (800-201-PARK), yet it's New York City's largest. Though highways and golf courses twist through its 2700-plus acres, there are some nice isolated nooks here. The premier wet attraction is the salt marsh on Hunter Island, which includes trails. Salt marshes are more than just mosquitoes and mud, and you may never sweat the same once you catch a glimpse of the tightly threaded, highly productive ecosystem that thrives in New York's humid climate. You may also have an out-of-NYC experience when you catch your first peek of Long Island Sound and its rocky shores.

Accidents at work
Accident compensation claims are payable if it can be shown that the accident was someone else's fault. The fault could be with your employer, a fellow employee, or a visitor to your workplace.
Sometimes it is obvious that your accident was someone else's fault. In other cases we may need to obtain expert evidence about the practices or processes at your workplace.
Most common types of accident are:
- slipping on wet floors
- tripping over something, such as computer cables, boxes or tools left around
- falls from height, such as from ladders, roofs, scaffolding
- lifting something that is too big or too heavy
- exposure to chemicals
Blake Lapthorn will advise you initially free of charge.
