Introduction of Senator Tom McClintock by Claremont Institute President Brian Kennedy:
Our speaker this evening used to be a member of our staff. We still count him among our number.
He is a man who has dedicated his life to fighting for freedom here in the state of California, but it is a fight that extends all the way to Washington and the issue of what it means to be a citizen.
Tom McClintock is today a state senator, having also served as a state assemblyman. Under different circumstances he would be today the state controller and would be Gray Davis's worst nightmare. Actually, he is still today Gray Davis's worst nightmare, since it is Tom McClintock who understands the state budget backwards and forwards and knows just what a fraud is being perpetrated on the California taxpayer with what is going on with the Administrationand he explains this regularly to the state press corps.
Tom has been recognized as one of the leading minds in California politics for better than 20 years now. Before rejoining the legislature he served as Director of Economic and Regulatory Affairs for the Claremont Institute's Golden State Center for Policy Studies. There he wrote on the state budget and was a leading scholar on Proposition 209 that ended quotas and preferences in California state government.
Tom is an old friend of mine and is a rare commodity in Sacramento. The reason is because he works harder than everyone, he does not bend on principle, and he does not give up the fight, no matter what the odds are. He is not today state controller but I have every confidence that this would have been among the least of his offices. It is a great pleasure to introduce a great Californian, Senator Tom McClintock.
Senator McClintock's Remarks:
Brian, thank you for that kind introduction regarding my knowledge of the state budget. All I really know about the state budget is this: if you spend every dime that comes in during a good year, you are going to be in a world of hurt in a bad year. And that's all you really need to know about California's budget. I want to thank all of you for everything that you are doing and for supporting the Claremont Institute and its decisive work in the cause of freedom. It's that work that makes the Claremont Institute one of the most influential instruments of public policy in California today.
Everything that you are doing to support this Institute is the foundation of that influence and success. And it's so critically important. Because if you stop and think about it, what is politics? It's always been one thing and one thing only: it's been a fight for freedom. In every political conflict and every political debate since the dawn of recorded history, it all comes down to that basic question. Do people have a right to lead their own lives, make their own choices, enjoy the fruit of their own labors, raise their children according to their own values and standards, enter into voluntary agreements with each other for their own mutual betterment, or does there exist a special class above us entitled to make those decisions for us? That has always been the question. And as the premiere public policy institute in the country dealing specifically with that question, never has the Claremont Institute's work been more important than it is todayespecially today and especially in California.
I want to talk a little bit tonight about some forces that I see growing in this state. I believe we are about to take a quantum leap in the public policy debate. I think that we have now entered the fourth quarter of a contest that began in this state many decades ago and is now coming to fruition. Meteorologists will occasionally refer to what they call a "100-year storm," a storm so large that it occurs on an average of about once a century. It's as powerful as it is rare. And as I look back upon my now 31 years of active involvement in California public policy, with a majority of those years spent as a member of the state legislature, it has become very clear to me that just ahead of us is fast converging a combination, and indeed you might say a culmination, of political forces that promise to produce a 100-year political storm in this state with the potential, I would use the word "promise," to change the entire political landscape of California and by doing so, to proclaim liberty throughout all the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof.
I'd like to begin this discussion with a very important question to all of us. What are the mechanics of change? When does change actually occur in society? Meaningful change is a very rare thing. We are all, after all, creatures of habit. We model our institutions on this quality. With good reason, change by its nature is risky. A precipitous change can be downright dangerous. And thus, all experience has shown that mankind is disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by altering the form of government to which they have become accustomed. So we see history unfold not as a seamless trend of gradual adjustment, but rather as a herky-jerky combination of long periods of political stasis and gradual decay and decline, punctuated by sudden climacterics that dramatically alter the governing agenda and the political coalitions of society for decades and sometimes for generations. Change occurs when the necessity for it finally ultimately overcomes our resistance to it, when a long train of abuses and usurpations simply can no longer be tolerated.
So what's converging just ahead of us as we look ahead at California's public policy? I think there are three major tempests, any one of which I think could produce profound political change. Together, I believe they do constitute a legendary hundred-year storm. The first of those forces is the culmination of what Greg Lucas once described asI love this termthe "kumbaya über alles environmental movement" that was introduced in California public policy in a very sudden climacteric in 1974 with the election of Jerry Brown. He called it his "era of limits." It was punctuated by, you remember, such new age nonsense as the mantra "small is beautiful." It is, in fact, a radical and retrograde ideology that operationally manifested itself with the simplistic notion that if we stop building things, people won't come. So in 1974 we stopped building thingsand people came anyway. And now we face the culmination of this ideology with the administration of Governor Jerry Brown's Chief of Staff, Gray Davis.
We have to give Jerry Brown his due. The basic premise of the policies that he began has continued unchanged through two Democratic and two Republican administrations. In 1974 the state cancelled its highway program, literally walking away from highway projects in mid-construction, literally abandoning them. Since 1974 the miles driven by Californians has increased 116 percent. Our lane mileage has increased by eight percent. Construction has slowed even more radically since 1990. In 1990, you may recall, we doubled the excise tax on gasoline with the promise that that money would be used for road construction. In the next 10 years the miles driven by Californians increased by 30 percent, while our lane mileage increased by just one percent.
The same ideology devastated the water delivery system of the state. We abandoned dams in mid-construction. We shelved the plans for the aqueducts and the conveyance facilities necessary to complete the greening of California. Since the mid-1970s California's population has grown about 60 percent. Our water storage capacity has grown about 12 percent. And that trend has also accelerated in the last 10 years. While the population has increased 15 percent, water storage capacity has increased by two percent. We've now reached a day when the state can store less than one year's water consumption in its entire system.
And in those years we've also lost a significant entitlement to Colorado River water. When dam construction came to a screeching halt, so too did the promise of abundant hydroelectric power. Though the population increased, again 60 percent since 1975, hydroelectric production has increased just seven percent. As the power system has stretched beyond its capacity, peak generation costs have devastated consumers, our electricity imports have doubled, and Californians now pay the highest electricity prices in the entire United States, save Hawaii.
We stopped people from building houses in that same period. It's estimated that since then our housing supplies have increased at less than half the rate as required by population growth. So we're now living with the result of three decades of this retrograde ideology that has destroyed the infrastructure of California. We've now reached a period of crisis when these policies can simply no longer be sustained. I drove in from Santa Barbara today, three hours and 52 minutes on the road. Average speed: 33 miles an hour. I'll tell you we've taken a giant leap backward in our highway technology alone. And that, by the way, is just the first storm that is converging immediately ahead of us.
Consider the second one, and that is what can only be described as the collapse of California's finances. And to understand this phenomenon you basically need to understand just three numbers: 21, 25, and 40. Once you understand those three numbers, you'll understand everything there is about California's finances. In the last four years, inflation and population have grown at a combined rate of 21 percent. Revenues coming into the state's coffers have increased 25 percent. That is after the 'dot-com' collapse, after the car tax was trimmed, after the state's revenues plunged. We are still seeing revenue growing significantly faster than inflation and population combined. So this is not a revenue problem. The problem is in that third number, 40. We've had a 40 percent increase in state spending in the same period. And it is this rapacity and recklessness that turned a $12 billion surplus into a $35 billion operating deficit in a period of less than two years. And that, by the way, is only the tip of the financial condition of the state of California.
We hear so much about the $35 billion deficit, we also forget that four years ago this state owed $7 billion in general obligations. Today we owe $41 billion in general obligations. Three years ago our pension obligations to the state's two pension systems combined were less than $1 billion a year. This year they are $2.2 billion a year. And by next year they will climb to $2.8 billion. And don't worry about thatthe legislature doesn't. Since they don't have the money to pay our $2.2 billion pension obligation this year, they're simply going to finance it over the next five. Which of course raises the interesting question, if we can't afford a $2.2 billion pension payment now, how are we going to afford a $2.8 billion pension payment next year while we're also retiring the debt, including an extra $300 million for the loan we took out to meet this year's obligation? And so I would submit to you that we have reached a point where these policies, too, cannot be sustained.
And then there's a third storm converging in the same period in our history. And I think you can best describe it as Milton Friedman once did when he asked in exasperation, "What makes them think socialism works any better in California than it did in the Soviet Union?" We are now spending more as a percentage of your earnings that at any time in the history in California, we are delivering less than at any time in the history of California and the question occurs, "Where is all that money going?" We certainly haven't seen a 40 percent increase in highway construction, or school construction, or academic performance, or electricity generation, or water storage, or all the other things that we are paying this government to provide, the answer is that it's going into a bureaucracy. It is growing at the expense of the freedom that produces prosperity.
And I'll offer for your consideration just one out of hundreds of examples, the Workers' Compensation System. Over the last several years, major new costs have been mandated upon that system, and today employers are being crushed under their weight. It's not unusual to see 200 and 300 percent increases in the costs to businesses as a result. In testimony before the Senate Labor Committee last week, just before the ruling party on that committee killed every significant reform bill that was submitted to it, an electrical contractor who employs 20 people said that he now has to confront the fact that with his workers' comp increase, he himself would actually bring home more money if he fired his 20 employees and went back into business as a one-man shop. Another, a bag manufacturer in the Inland Empire, testified that his workers' compensation increase this year required a lay-off of 40 employees just to balance the books. We were having a discussion at dinner tonight. Johnny Zamrzla is a major roofing contractor. His workers' compensation costs are now one dollar for every dollar of payroll. One dollar of workers' comp costs for every dollar of payroll! And that is typicalthat is the roofing industry today. And that workers' comp crisis is just one example, one program, out of the thousands of regulations that are destroying our commerce.
The California Chamber of Commerce estimated that a California business needs to increase its bottom line 10 percent this year just to meet the cost of new regulations enacted by the state of California last year. Last week one of two Fortune 500 companies that are left in Santa Barbara County announced that they were moving to Florida. The CEO was interviewed on television and this is what he said, "This was not a complicated decision. There is no income tax in Florida, the sales tax is six percent, and it costs 40 bucks to register your car. What is the big mystery?" I spoke to a woman a few weeks ago who just sold her business in San Diego. Before she and her husband did so, they made very sure it was incorporated in the state of Nevada. That state also has no income tax. And she, by the way, made very sure they were legal residents of Nevada. She asked me, "Have you seen Reno recently?" I haven't, I had to admit. She said, "You would not believe what is going on there." She described in vivid detail the booming construction industry that's going on and abundant palatial homes being built there, and a booming economy. She said, "It's all being fueled by Californians."
That set me to thinking about Tocqueville's observation as he traveled through the Ohio River Valley in 1831. He spoke of the fertile and bountiful valley divided by the Ohio River. He said on one side of the river was Ohio, and the other was Kentucky. This is what Tocqueville wrote,
The two states differ on only a single point: Kentucky has accepted slaves, the state of Ohio has rejected them from its midst.
The traveler who, placed in the middle of the Ohio, allows himself to be carried along by the current to the mouth of the river in the Mississippi, therefore, navigates so to speak between freedom and servitude; and he has only to cast glances around himself to judge in an instant which is more favorable to humanity.
On the left bank of the river, the population is sparse; from time to time one perceives a troop of slaves running through half-wild fields with an insouciant air; the primitive forest constantly reappears; one would say that society is asleep; man seems idle, nature offers the image of activity and of life.
From the right bank, on the contrary, rises a confused noise that proclaims from afar the presence of industry; rich harvests cover the fields; elegant dwellings announce the taste and care of the laborer; on all sides comfort reveals itself; man appears rich and content: he works.
And it occurred to me, as this woman talked about conditions in the middle of the Nevada desert, that we are, in this generation, beginning to witness the same demarcation beginning to form, as one sails down the Colorado River which divides the most fertile and bountiful state in the nation from the most desolate territory on the continent; desolate by every measure but onefreedom. And it's freedom that now makes a forsaken desert a more desirable place for people to live and work and raise their families than right here in California. And now right ahead of us these three terrible storms spawned by a retrograde ideology, by unprecedented fiscal recklessness, and by an oppressive misuse of state power, now converge directly ahead of us.
The wind has already shifted. As we look at polling data, it indicates the electorate is awakening and focusing upon what has been done to their state. Old political coalitions are beginning to break apart. New ones are beginning to form. I know that for a fact. In last November's election I received more independent and more cross-over Democratic votes than any Republican running on the 2002 ballot despite a five-to-one funding disadvantage. Although I received less financial support from the Republican Party than any other competitive race on the ballot, I received broader electoral support from the voters of Californian than any other candidate on the ballot. And that did not happen, I assure you, by minimizing my differences with the ruling party of this state and its policies.
I moved to California with my family in 1965. I was nine years old. My folks came here looking for a better future for their children. My dad had been out of work for over a year. My mom was a homemaker. And they came here in the summer of 1965 in desperation. When they arrived in California that summer they both immediately found good jobs. They found the home of their dreams; a four-bedroom, ranch-style home with a 40-foot swimming pool and a half-acre landscape, and they bought that home in the summer of 1965 for $35,000. California was a land of opportunity. Taxes were low, the jobs were plentiful, and the highways were the finest in the world. My dad commuted 40 miles to downtown Los Angeles every morning. It was about a 45 minute drive in rush hour in those days. Our hydroelectric and nuclear plants were making electricity so cheaply that electricity meters were supposed to become obsolete within 10 years. Our water storage was so immense that many communities didn't bother with water meters. We came from Westchester County, New York where the schools were supposed to be the finest in the country. I had to scramble to catch up to where the California schools were in comparison. I remember that state. It was real. I lived there. And it's gone.
The home my parents bought for $35,000, if it were new, today, after all the inflation has occurred, should be selling for about $180,000. But the homes in that neighborhood (my folks still live there), now 40 years older, are selling for more than two-and-half times that amount. Which means my parents wouldn't have been able to afford that house if they came to California today.
They wouldn't have been able to find work, either. Californian's lost 200,000 jobs last year. If they had found work, I don't think they would have gotten there. Downtown Los Angeles is now two hours from Thousand Oaks during rush hour. They couldn't have afforded their taxes, either. That year the state spent a little over $6 from every $100 that people earned. Today Gray Davis is spending nearly $10 out of every $100 that you earned. Which means that my family and every family like ours, in looking for a better future for their kids, would have stopped at the Colorado River.
Today, according to the statistics people look at, even with California's bountiful resources, the most equitable climate in the entire continent, and with every blessing that God could bestow upon a land, people are finding a better place to live and work and raise their families out in the desolation of the Arizona and Nevada deserts. No conceivable act of God could ever wreak such devastation upon our state. It takes a government to do that. And it has. And that brings me back to the beginning. When does change occur?
In April of 1775 a column of British soldiers moved up the road from Boston. They mowed down the colonial militia at Lexington and marched unhindered to Concord. But something happened on that day. Without phones or faxes or e-mail, word spread to every village and hamlet, every farm and home, and spontaneously American farmers and merchants left their families to gather along the road to confront the most powerful army in the world; not because they wanted to, but because they had tobecause the situation had become intolerable, and could no longer be ignored. I believe we're seeing the civic equivalent occurring here in California today. Men and women who have never cared much for politics are today turning their attention to public policy. They're beginning to become politically active, not because they want to, but because they have to. One by one they are reaching a turning point in their own lives. A simple question confronts each of themfight or flight? There is no third alternative. Some will flee California. Many already have. But one by one the ranks of those that determine to stay and fight are growing. You can see it everywhere. And one by one we approach that point on the political scale where equilibrium is reached and the balance suddenly shifts. That's the mechanics of change in democracy and we are nigh upon it.
A 100-year storm is fast approaching, and as Lincoln said, "The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion." We have difficult times straight ahead of us that will test once again the capacity of a free people for self-governance. But through those hard days I am absolutely certain that there lies the destiny of this generation of Californians, to bestow upon our children the California of boundless opportunity that our parents once bestowed upon us. And I thank you all for being in the front line of that fight by supporting the Claremont Institute.

The day when the Hall of Fame balloting gets announced is about phone calls: mainly, to the lucky former players who learn they'll be in Cooperstown forevermore. But this year the most notable phone call for me was the one to Hall of Famer George Brett, who after stepping off a plane in Boston wanted to know the voting results. I had the pleasure of getting his immediate and candid thoughts on Bruce Sutter's selection, his continuing vigil for Goose Gossage and Bert Blyleven, and whether his old pal John Schuerholz ever has a shot.

Movie database and an updated classic game: iPhone apps of the week
Looking at my iPhone yesterday, I noticed that there was a crack about a centimeter long right up the middle of the back of the handset coming straight from the charging area. It's hardly noticeable and I'm sure my iPhone will continue to work, but it definitely serves as a reminder that when my two-year contract is up in June, I'm going to be ready for a new iPhone.
Fortunately, a story over at AppleInsider points to a rumor that the next generation of iPhones are set to come out right about that time. Eldar Murtazin, an … Read more

Massachusetts might not be the natural habitat for any really exotic animals (no, squirrels and pigeons don't count), but that doesn't mean you can't have an animal adventure. We're talking kangaroos at Southwick's Zoo, gorillas at the Franklin Park Zoo, and penguins at the New England Aquarium. Lots and lots of penguins. If you're looking to check some more birds off your list, the Berkshires is one of the best bird watching locations in the country. Then there's horseback riding, with ranches for riding and learning all over the state. And if your kids like to get up close and personal with the animals, petting zoos at destinations like Smolak Farms and Lookout Farm will give them the warm and fuzzies. Just make sure they don't take anything home.

Patient Education
Typhoid is also known as Enteric fever
. It is an infection caused by a bacteria called as the salmonella bacillus. Salmonella typhi causes typhoid fever and Salmonella paratyphi A & B cause paratyphoid fever.
Mode of Infection
Humans are the only natural reservoirs of S. typhi. Ingestion of food or water contaminated with human faeces is the most common mode of transmission. The salmonella organisms after ingestion attack the intestine and enter into the blood stream. These organisms then the bone-marrow, liver, spleen and other organs. The bacteria again enter the blood from these organs and again reach the intestine through the bile by local multiplication in the walls of gall bladder. Circulating endotoxin (a part of the bacterial cell wall) is thought to be the cause of prolonged fever and toxic symptoms.
Some patients may excrete S. typhi for three months or longer after infection leading to a chronic carrier state.
Clinical features
Onset: Gradual onset fever, anorexia, malaise,
in early stages and then constipation.
2nd week: High fever, toxic child, delirium, enlarged liver and spleen, diffuse abdominal tenderness. A rash may be seen around 7th to 10th day on the chest and the abdomen. The fever usually resolves within 2-4 weeks but malaise and lethargy persist for a longer time.
1. Severe intestinal hemorrhage and intestinal perforation - seen usually in 1st week of illness.
2. Heart involvement in the form of shock and psychosis may also be seen.

Cartagena is a Spanish Mediterranean city with more than 2,500 years of history. Each corner, street and square offers travelers monumental examples of its splendorous historical past. The origins of the city are shown at the Punic Wall, which marks the foundation of the city by the Carthaginians in 227 BC. Cartagena has been the capital of the Spanish Navy's Maritime Department of the Mediterranean since the arrival of the Spanish Bourbons in the eighteenth century.
View Cruises that visit this port
This wonderful full-day excursion travels to the holy town of Caravaca de la Cruz. Just like Rome, Santiago de Compostela, Jerusalem and Lebanon, it was named a holy city in 1998 by Pope John Paul II. The town celebrates its Jubilee every seven years and in 2003, it was visited by the then Cardinal Ratzinger, who is now the present Pope.
Your day begins with a picturesque drive of just under 2-hours to the Old Quarter of Caravaca de la Cruz. Upon arrival, you will leave your coach behind and with your guide leading the way, walk to the city's most famous site, The Sanctuary of the Santísima and Vera Cruz (true cross). Declared of Historic-Artistic Heritage by the Spanish tourist board, the most important feature of the Sanctuary is the cross, which has become the symbol of the town. Within the Cross there are two pieces of the true cross that Christ was crucified on and during your time at the Sanctuary, you will have the opportunity to see this revered cross. After what will no doubt be an unforgettable visit at the Sanctuary, you will continue on foot to the Old Town Square where lunch will be provided at a local restaurant.
Following lunch, you will begin your return to journey to Cartagena, making one final stop along the way to see the Marqués Fountains. This is one of the most picturesque sites in the region of Murcia and you will have some free time here to take in the natural beauty of this location at your leisure.
Please note: This tour includes a significant amount of walking and there is some steep uphill walking at the Sanctuary as well as cobblestone surfaces to negotiate in the Old Quarter. The tour is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Light weight clothing; sun cap; sunglasses, sunscreen and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. It is also recommended that participants bring a bottle of water from the ship. The order of the sights viewed or visited may vary. Most shops in Cartagena close at noon Mon-Sat and do not open on Sundays.

Showing class notes submitted in last 6 months by graduates in 1968
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Donald J. Sullivan '68, J.D. '71 received the prestigious Judge of the Year Award for 2013 from the San Francisco Trial Lawyers' Association at its annual black tie dinner at the Ritz Carleton Hotel in San Francisco. Sullivan currently presides over a trial department in the criminal division. Besides serving in the criminal division soon after his appointment to the bench by Governor Davis in 2003, Sullivan has previously served as a Judge in the Unified Family Court doing family and juvenile dependency matters and has had a variety of Civil Court assignments, including jury trials, elder abuse and civil harassment. Sullivan reports that he immensely enjoyed the 45th reunion of his class of '68 and wishes he had had more time to spend chatting with his classmates. Sullivan lives in Mill Valley with his wife, Genevieve.
Huntly Gordon MBA '70 has been dubbed "The World's Most Interesting Man" by the Santa Cruz Sentinel. That's because 35 years of adventure travel have given him countless stories: the time he ran with the bulls through the narrow, twisting streets of Pamplona, Spain; when he was trapped in Tehran during the 1978 Iranian Revolution; when he walked into a gun battle on a dark street in Cuzco, Peru; the time he encountered primitive Dani tribesmen, their fierce, naked bodies covered only by strategic gourds.

Saddam Hussein's half brother dies of cancer
Monday - 7/8/2013, 4:04pm  ET
Associated Press
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Saddam Hussein's half brother, who was facing the gallows for his role as chief of the regime's feared security service and allegedly one of the architects of the insurgency against U.S. and allied forces in Iraq, died of cancer on Monday in a Baghdad hospital, a senior official said.
Deputy Justice Minister Busho Ibrahim told The Associated Press that Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, who had received several death sentences, was transferred to the hospital from prison as his health deteriorated at dawn. His body will be handed over to his family. He was 66.
Al-Hassan fled to Syria after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, but he was deported to Iraq by the Syrian government in 2005. He was arrested in February 2005, suspected of directing and financing insurgency operations from Syria carried out by Saddam loyalists in Iraq.
His photo appeared as the Six of Diamonds in decks of playing cards distributed by the U.S. military featuring wanted members of Saddam's deposed regime. Al-Hassan was No. 36 on the U.S. list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis at the time.
Under Saddam, al-Hassan served as head of intelligence and security during the 1991 Gulf War. He then ran the general security service until 1996, when he took up his final post of presidential adviser to Saddam.
His son, Ayman Sabawi Ibrahim, was arrested in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit and was sentenced to life in prison, but he escaped in northern Iraq in late 2006.
One brother was sentenced to death, and another was executed in 2007.
Saddam was executed by hanging on Dec. 2006 for his role in the 1982 killings of 148 Shiites following a failed assassination attempt in the early 1980s.
Associated Press writer Sinan Salaheddin contributed to this report.

Swedish Match develops, manufactures, and sells quality products with market-leading brands in the product areas Snus and snuff, Other tobacco products (cigars and chewing tobacco), and Lights (matches and lighters). Well known brands include General snus, Longhorn moist snuff, White Owl cigars, Red Man chewing tobacco, Fiat Lux matches, and Cricket lighters.
Our company in brief
The Swedish Match share is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
Quarterly updates on Swedish Match operations and development.
Our latest reports, as well as archived interim reports and annual reports.
Swedish Match is well positioned as the third largest snus and moist snuff company. The Company also owns 50 percent of SMPM International (a joint venture with Philip Morris International to explore and develop new markets for snus outside of Scandinavia and the US). Production units are located in Sweden (snus) and the US (moist snuff).
Swedish Match is a major player in the US market for cigars, and the largest manufacturer in the US for chewing tobacco. Nearly all the cigars and chewing tobacco products are sold exclusively on the US market.
Swedish Match is the market leader for matches in many markets, with well known local brands. For lighters, the Cricket brand has strong market positions in many countries, most notably in parts of Europe and Asia.
At Swedish Match you get the opportunity to grow and develop in an international environment.
Swedish Match seeks to constantly reduce or minimize presumed health risks in its snus products and to contribute to increased knowledge on the characteristics and use of snus.
In the 16th century, Swedes began to mix tobacco leaves with salt and water to place behind the upper lip. The snuff was born.
Prior to that however, the predecessor went from the caribbean, into the French court and then across Europe as the latest fashion.
For Swedish Match, Corporate Sustainability entails generating value for the Company, its stakeholders, and the environment – in order to assure long term and sustainable growth.
Social responsibility is broad and multifaceted, and for Swedish Match this implies working conscientiously and responsibly in relation to stakeholders external to the Company.
For Swedish Match, environmental responsibility implies working consciously and actively to reduce and mitigate environmental impacts of the Company's business operations.

NEW YORK NURSE: April 2011
"I first became involved with NYSNA as a Legislative District Coordinator, so that I could help work toward passage of a safe staffing ratio bill in New York. Nurses are tired of staffing problems. We need our lawmakers to care about nurses. We need people with power to listen. It's our job to tell them! And I did just that this past February, when I represented NYSNA at a rally in Albany in support of collective bargaining rights for workers everywhere. Now, through NYSNA's Leadership Academy, I'm working on a program to encourage more nurses to get involved in the association's legislative and lobbying activities. Make a difference, today! I'm NYSNA. I'm leading the way."
— Donna Florkiewicz, RN, Ellis Hospital, Schenectady, NY

The Chicago Bears re-signed a couple of their own free agents today. Both center Taylor Boggs and defensive back Derrick Martin agreed to one year deals.
The busy Chicago Bears make another acquisition today, by bringing back offensive tackle Jonathan Scott.
Lost in the offensive line shuffle of the Chicago Bears, is last year's undrafted rookie free agent James Brown. What if he were a 3rd round draft choice, as many projected, would the expectations for him be higher heading into year 2?
Has the power shifted in the NFL now that free agency is a week old? How will the free agent signings alter teams draft plans? Let us know your NFL Thoughts and be sure to check out the Ten Thoughts we dropped for you.
The time is ticking away on the free agency waiting period before all hell breaks loose. NFL Free agency kicks off at 3:00 central.
Stuff NFL Free Agents Say: Former Bears DT, now free agent, Anthony Adams (@spiceadams)
As each day passes, it appears more and more likely that the NFL and the Player's Association will be unable to settle on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. An uncapped 2010 seems almost inevitable now and a lockout in 2011 is looking more and more likely.

One of America's most influential realist writers, Stephen Crane, born in New Jersey on November 1, 1871, produced works that have been credited with establishing the foundations of modern American naturalism. His Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage (1895) realistically depicts the psychological complexities of battlefield emotion, and has become a classic of American literature. He is also known for authoring Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.
Early Years
Born on November 1, 1871, in Newark, New Jersey, Stephen Crane was the 14th and last child of Reverend Jonathan Townley Crane, a Methodist Episcopal minister, and Mary Helen Peck Crane. He attended preparatory school at the Claverack College (1888-90) before spending less than two years as a college student (first at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, and then at Syracuse University). He then moved to Paterson, New Jersey, with one of his brothers and made frequent trips to nearby New York City, writing short pieces on what he experienced there.
Crane truly embarked upon a literary career in 1892, when he moved to New York and began freelancing as a writer. Living a Bohemian lifestyle among local artists, Crane gained firsthand familiarity with poverty and street life, focusing his writing efforts on New York's downtrodden tenement districts, particularly the Bowery. A once-thriving area in the southern part of Manhattan, in the post-Civil War era, the Bowery's busy shops and hulking mansions had been replaced by saloons, dance halls and brothels; Crane immersed himself this world.
'Maggie: A Girl of the Streets'
While Crane most likely had completed an early draft of his first book, the novella Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893), while studying at Syracuse, it wasn't until after moving to New York that he rewrote and finalized the piece—its pages fortified with details that he picked up in the Bowery. A compassionate story of an innocent and abused girl's descent into prostitution and her eventual suicide, Maggie was initially rejected by several publishers who feared that Crane's description of slum life would shock readers. Crane ended up publishing the work himself in 1893, under the pseudonym "Johnston Smith."
Arena writer Hamlin Garland published a review following Maggie's release, calling the book "the most truthful and unhackneyed study of the slums I have yet read." The work failed to garner further attention, though, and the expense of publishing it himself left Crane penniless. (However, Crane would create a second edition of the book in 1896, softening some of the book's graphic details, and receive wide recognition; at this point, of course, The Red Badge of Courage had also just been published to immediate success.)
'The Open Boat'
Due to Crane's new reputation as a war writer, as well as his curiosity about his accuracy in depicting the psychological states of combat, he undertook a new career: war correspondent. In 1897, Crane set sail for Cuba to report on the insurrection there.

Bacon Braised Green Beans
This modern take on the Southern classic will leave you wanting more! Since this version is quick-cooked, the beans stay crisp-tender but oh, theyre coated with sautéed onions and little pieces of bacon. Dont make me talk about it!
1. Set a Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is well browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green beans and toss to combine with the bacon and onion.
2. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock. As soon as the stock begins to boil, place the lid on the pan and cook the beans for about 6 minutes. Remove the lid, season the beans with the salt and pepper, and toss well. Replace the lid and cook until the beans are tender, 1 or 2 minutes longer.
3. Remove from the heat and transfer the beans to a serving dish or small platter to serve.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 2 tablespoons sliced garlic
- 2 pounds green beans, rinsed, ends trimmed
- 1 cup chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

So my long board has small dings and cracks all around. From what I can see it doesn't look very serious.
If I wanted to get them repaired, what is the range I should be expecting to pay for that?
If you have had "normal" repair done, how much did you pay?
What things should I know about the cracks before I go in?
What can I expect him to say and how do I know if I'm getting ripped off!?

Freelance translation for work at home mothers
As discussed in a previous post, work at home jobs are becoming popular due to various advantages like flexible working hours, telecommuting etc. that come with it. Increasing gasoline prices strengthen the need to avoid commuting to work on a daily basis. Freelance translation is a perfect work at home job especially suited for mothers who have kids to take care. In fact an online translation company was voted as the 'best company for working mothers' in a poll in Poland. More than half of the staff of this company was women.

for savvy women who want to dress chic and stay slim
Anne Barone was not born fat. But she achieved that state very quickly. Raised in fried chicken and homemade pie country, in childhood and adolescence she grew fatter and fatter — despite diets, diets and more diets!
Then, in her mid-20s, Anne Barone discovered chic French women's techniques for eating well and staying slim — and for dressing chic on a small budget.
Anne Barone lost 55 pounds and acquired a chic French wardrobe.
You can too.
FAT to slim: How long did it take? Answer
Chicer and slimmer, Anne Barone returned to the USA to find a nation growing sloppier and fatter. Oh dear! Women needed those French techniques. Impressed with her system for staying slim, Anne's doctor encouraged her to write a book.
Chic & Slim BOOKS: In 1997, Anne Barone published her first book Chic & Slim: how those chic French women eat all that rich food and still stay slim. More Chic & Slim books followed. Her latest book Chic & Slim Toujours: aging beautifully like those chic French women reveals French secrets for dressing chic and staying slim age 50+.
Chic & Slim WEBSITE: Following publication of the first Chic & Slim book, Anne Barone created this companion website. The NOUVELLES-NEWS section gives you updated information and answers your questions about living chic and staying slim à la française.
ANNE BARONE TODAY: With chic French women's techniques, Anne Barone became slim in her mid-20s. With her translation of those techniques, she has stayed slim more than 40 years. Now 68, Anne Barone lives in Texas where she is attempting to create a bit of French Provence on the North Texas plains. "Far enough in the country to grow eggplant, apricots and lavender. But close enough to Dallas to make the sales at Neiman Marcus."
be chic, stay slim with Chic & Slim

I think my overall favorite and for sentimental reasons is Sinjid. A few others and I used to play the game in computer class. You could also throw Sonny in there, but it didn't catch on like Sinjid (note, I didn't play it on AG)
Another great is Morningstar, a beautiful achievement of flash gaming. It is point and click, so I know that isn't the most popular type, but the atmosphere is hardly matched by anything on AG.
Colony is up there too, I put quite a bit of work in trying to improve the community for it.

The PlayBook will get it as it is also getting BB10 eventually and BB10 was built off the PlayBook with DLNA in the roadmap as I mentioned. Problem is, many other things took precedence over it during development (i.e. when the world was on RIMs case for not including PIM apps, etc).

AHL announces 2011 Hall of Fame inductees Springfield, MA (Sports Network) - The American Hockey League on Thursday announced the newest four members of its Hall of Fame. The sixth group of persons to be enshrined, on January 31, are Mitch Lamoureux, Harry Pidhirny, Maurice Podoloff and Larry Wilson. "The AHL Board of Governors is proud to support the Selection Committee's recommendation to enshrine these four gentlemen into the American Hockey League Hall of Fame," said AHL president and CEO David Andrews. "We look forward to recognizing their outstanding contributions to the league as part of the celebration of our historic 75th year." Lamoureux spent 17 years in the AHL from 1982-99, playing in Baltimore, Hershey, Maine and Providence. Over 802 games, the former eighth-round pick of the Penguins ranks seventh in league history in goals with 364 and ninth in points with 816. Pidhirny, a defenseman, played 1,071 games over 17 seasons with Philadelphia, Springfield and Syracuse. He ranks third all-time in games played, sixth in goals (376) and seventh in points (829). Podoloff was a founding father for the league, and along with his father and brothers, built the New Haven Arena. He also was instrumental in bringing two leagues together in the late 1930's which eventually formed the modern American Hockey League, and introduced the game to future NHL cities such as Washington D.C., Buffalo and St. Louis. Wilson, the father of current Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson, spent 15 seasons as a player and six as a head coach in the AHL. The Ontario native played two years for Indianapolis then 13 for the Buffalo Bisons, and holds the franchise record for every offensive category. He was coach with Providence and Richmond before being named the first head coach of the Adirondack Red Wings in 1979. 10/28 17:10:31 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |
