Cautious Moves on Foreclosures Haunting Obama
The administration made just one mistake, he said in a recent interview: it failed to rewrite the bankruptcy code.
Congressional Democrats wanted to change the law to permit "cramdown" — a term that meant letting bankruptcy courts cut mortgage debts — to put pressure on mortgage companies to modify loans and to provide a backup plan for borrowers who could not get the help they needed.
"There was another way to deal with this, and that is what I supported: forcing the banks to deal with this," Mr. Marshall said. "It would have been better for the economy and lots of different neighborhoods and people owning houses in those neighborhoods."
Mr. Obama sponsored cramdown legislation as a senator, endorsed it as a presidential candidate and called on Congress to pass it in the Arizona speech.
But he also repeatedly pressed the pause button. When proponents sought to add a cramdown to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act in September 2008, Mr. Obama, who had flown back to Washington from the campaign trail, persuaded them to postpone the "partisan" effort as an example to Republicans, who said the measure would violate existing contracts.
In February 2009, after Mr. Obama became president, the White House asked Democrats not to attach the measure to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, fearing it would cost votes. In March, a watered-down version finally passed the House, but the mortgage industry rallied opposition to block it in the Senate.
Some officials said the White House had tried and failed. But other officials and participants, including Mr. Marshall, said it simply was not a priority.
"There wasn't enough political capital, time or energy," said Mr. Barr, the former Treasury deputy.
Mortgage companies, mostly owned by large banks, had ample resources to improve their treatment of troubled borrowers. But in the absence of any significant threat of punitive government action, they made little progress.
"Here we are in 2011, looking at high levels of foreclosures on the horizon, looking at significant failures in process, and nothing much has changed," Sarah Bloom Raskin, a Federal Reserve governor, said at a housing finance conference in February 2011.
"It seems to me we have reached the point where this sign of failure is hindering our economy's ability to rebound."
How Far a Trillion Goes
A stone-faced building just north of the Capitol testifies to the federal response to the last national housing crash in the 1930s. The block-long office building housed the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, which bought and refinanced roughly 20 percent of outstanding mortgages, most within two years of its creation in 1933, to help a million families avoid foreclosure. It even turned a modest profit before closing in 1951.
Mr. McCain surprised Mr. Obama during their second debate in October 2008 when he proposed investing $300 billion in such a program, echoing prominent Democrats. Some economists argued that debt reduction would hasten recovery not just by preventing foreclosures, but by spurring consumer spending, the nation's primary economic activity.
Mr. Obama, leading in the polls, dismissed the idea as a "risky" giveaway to mortgage companies. "Taxpayers shouldn't be asked to pick up the tab for the very folks who helped to create this crisis," he said at a rally two days later in Dayton, Ohio.
After the election, top economic advisers led by Mr. Summers told the president-elect that debt reduction was not the best policy. Mr. Obama hoped to secure about $1.1 trillion from Congress to arrest the recession — a stimulus package of about $750 billion and the second half of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program bailout fund Congress had created in September. In a blueprint delivered at a mid-December meeting in Chicago, the advisers recommended that nearly all of the money be used to stabilize the financial system and for a package of tax cuts and government spending programs. That, they said, would stimulate growth more than paying down mortgage debts and hoping homeowners spent their savings.
Mr. Geithner told Mr. Obama that if even if an additional $100 billion were available, he still would not spend it on housing.
As for foreclosures, the advisers said more modest forms of aid would work just as well in most cases. Indeed, some economists argued that debt reduction would counterproductively persuade other borrowers to stop making payments in pursuit of a better deal.
But the decision ultimately was political. Mr. Obama and his advisers were convinced that even in the depths of an unyielding crisis, most Americans did not want their neighbors rescued at public expense. Several cited the response to the Arizona speech — including the televised diatribe by a CNBC personality, Rick Santelli, that helped give rise to the Tea Party — as proof that they were wise not to do more.
"There's a lot of risk aversion in Washington," said James B. Lockhart III, who participated in some discussions as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, administrator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, "and I don't think anybody knew how bad it was going to get."
End of the Beginning
Eighteen months later, the administration's hopes for a rapid economic recovery had faded. By summer 2010, it knew that the recession had been deeper than initially understood and that the effects of the financial crisis were lingering longer than expected. The housing market still showed no signs of life.
Frustrated allies — including Congressional Democrats and liberal advocacy groups not normally focused on housing, like the National Council of La Raza — were shouting for new action to prevent foreclosures.
Still the White House held firm to its strategy. "The most important thing I can do right now to keep people in their homes is to make sure the economy is growing," the president said in Albuquerque in September 2010. "That's probably the thing that's going to strengthen the housing market the most over the next couple of years."
Two days later, an important deadline passed quietly. The $700 billion bailout fund Congress had created in 2008 expired. The administration could no longer use the money to finance new programs even if it wanted to. It had left more than $300 billion unspent.
In November, Democrats lost control of the House, further constraining the administration's ability to address the housing crisis.
And right about then, in the fall of 2010, Mr. Obama began to reconsider. The frustrated president told his advisers that what they were doing was not good enough. He told them to revisit old ideas and to find new ones.
Mr. Obama was particularly incensed by mounting evidence that mortgage companies were breaking the law in some foreclosure cases. There was also new research underscoring the costs of foreclosures and the benefits of measures like debt reduction.
But perhaps most important was the simple reality that housing, left to fester, had become Mr. Obama's biggest economic problem.
At a virtual town hall in April 2011, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebookread a question that began, "The housing crisis will not go away."
The president, perched on a stool, listened gravely and nodded. "Well, it's a good question," he said, "and I'll be honest with you — this is probably the biggest drag on the economy right now."

text: Also dropping and (selling out) yesterday was the Air Jordan III Retro 'Infrared 23′. No, it's not an original colorway. But for those desperately looking for a shoe close to the White Cements, yes, these might work as an alternative. Using a perfect balance between the white and black spaces throughout the shoe, this new Retro will definitely be a hit with Infrared fans, with the subtle use of the pop color on the shoe's visible Air bubble and the lace area. Like any other Jordan III release, these sold out with the quickness. You'd be lucky to still find a pair today.


text: Richmond,Jan: 12, 1836.Dear Sir,I take the liberty of addressing you in behalf of a mutual relation, Mrs William Clemm, late of Baltimore--and at her earnest solicitation.You are aware that for many years she has been suffering privations and difficulties of no ordinary kind. I know that you have assisted her at a former period, and she has occasionally received aid from her cousins, William and Robert Poe, of Augusta. What little has been heretofore in my own power I have also done.Having lately established myself in Richmond, and undertaken the Editorship of the Southern Literary Messenger, and my circumstances having thus become better than formerly, I have ventured to offer my aunt a home. She is now, therefore, in Richmond, with her daughter Virginia, and is, for the present[,] boarding at the house of Mrs Yarrington. My salary is only at, present, about $800 per ann: and the charge per week for our board, (Mrs Clemm's, her daughter's, and my own,) is $9. I am this particular in stating my precise situation that you may be the better enabled to judge in regard to the propriety of granting the request which I am now about to make for Mrs Clemm.It is ascertained that if Mrs C. could obtain the means of opening, herself, a boarding-house in this city, she could support herself and her daughter comfortably with something to spare. But a small capital would be necessary for an undertaking of this nature, and many of the widows of our first people are engaged in it, and find it profitable. I am willing to advance, for my part, $100, and I believe that Wm & R. Poe will advance $100. If then you would so far aid her in her design as to loan her, Yourself, 100, she will have sufficient to commence with. I will be responsible for the repayment of the sum, in a year from this date, if you can make it convenient to comply with her request.I beg you, my dear sir, to take this subject into consideration. I feel deeply for the distresses of Mrs Clemm, and I am sure you will feel interested in relieving them.P.S) I am the son of David Poe Jr., Mrs Cs brother

MCL 3182.0: Stem Cell Method for Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
Anne M. Cataldo, Ph.D.
- Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases
- Marrow-Derived Adult Stem Cells
- Alzheimer's Disease
Background and Description
The remediation of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders remains a challenge. Among methods that have been tried, with little success to date, are various methods of cell therapy, wherein cells would be implanted into the brain of affected patients in an attempt to overcome loss of functional neurons. Evidence in the literature suggests that adult bone marrow stem cells can transdifferentiate into different neuronal phenotypes. However, therapeutic methods involving marrow-derived multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) have not yet been worked out. The inventors have shown that the α-secretase-cleaved fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (sAPPα), a potent neurotrophic factor, can potentiate the nerve growth factor/retinoic acid induced transdifferentiation of MAPCs into neural progenitor cells. Specifically, MAPCs engineered to express sAPPα, when administered intravenously, cross the blood brain barrier and terminally differentiate into cholinergic neurons. MAPCs differentiated in the presence of sAPPα and NGF/RA exhibited a 40-75% increase in expression of neuronal markers compared to MAPCs differentiated by NGF/RA alone.Potential Commercial Uses
The invention therefore comprises methods of treating neurodegenerative diseases by using MAPCs as vehicles of trophic factor delivery. Specifically, recombinant MAPCs, engineered to express sAPPα, can be administered to patients so that the MAPCs can differentiate into cholinergic neurons in the brain. The method is potentially useful for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other diseases characterized by loss of neuronal function.Publication and Patent Status
McLean Hospital is the owner of a pending U.S patent application claiming this invention. The research underlying the invention has been published in Chen et al. (2006) Curr. Alzheimer Res. 3(1):63-70.

A way some folk vaguely describe the phenomenon of being between happenings; having completed or left one scenario but still in anticipation of another. Some even go so far as to say that your soul is in limbo once you die if you are not immediately allowed to enter heaven. I don't necessarily believe in that type of thing, and was referring more specifically to my life since I am now a college graduate but am not yet in the working world or doing anything else noteworthy, for that matter. Not to be confused with the phrase "in lingo" which is how one programs with Director and other applications.
A small Amiga demo scene group from Finland, formed in early 1993 by Elvis (coder - formerly in Sacreds), Greippi (graphician) and Huru-Ukko (musician). The three were the only members ever in the group.
From the start, Limbo operated under a simple agenda of mixing Melon-style intro design with humor resembling Stellar's productions. But unlike many other "joke" teams, Limbo presented top quality programming and art while not taking things too seriously. This can be seen in their early titles like Three Men and a Glenz Vector and Hindun Tie Kehdosta Hautaan. Other small works included intros released around each members' birthdays.
Huru-Ukko quit the scene in 1995, but the remaining two members continued. They released two hilarious Amiga demos posing as animations made with Commodore 64's basic. One of these, 911, won first prize in the intro competition at Assembly'97. Some people were upset with this, because Limbo won by humor instead of hardcore coding.
The group has been extremely inactive for the last few years, but they did win the first place in the Amiga demo compo at Remedy'99 with Educational Sex Lesson. As far as I know, the group has never officially been declared dead.
Information came from my own memory, Limbo productions and Top Secret issue #15. Some bits of data found in http://www.scenet.de/amp/ and http://exotica.fix.no/info/scenery/online/l.html
Music plays. At the end of a path are two vertical poles. These poles hold up a horizontal bar that can be raised or lowered. Players line up behind the bar and bend their bodies so as to cross under the bar. If they touch the bar, they lose; otherwise, they go to the end of the line as in a spelling bee. After each round, the MC lowers the bar a notch.
A common variation on limbo puts the players in roller skates. A further variation, often played in elementary school gymnasiums, gradually lowers the divider between the west and east gym and uses that as the bar; the players skate around four cones placed near the corners of the full gym.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1260 "Since Christ died for all, and since all men are in fact called to one and the same destiny, which is divine, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partakers, in a way known to God, of the Paschal Mystery." Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such pesons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.
1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not the prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.
The Catechism makes no mention of limbo (to my knowledge).
In the Marvel Comics universe, limbo is a sort of parallel dimension where time doesn't flow in quite the same way as elsewhere. Based loosely on the limbo of Catholic theology, it was ruled for a long time by a sorcerer/demon named Belasco, who held absolute power over the demons who lived there.
That changed when Belasco located Illyana Rasputin, the six-year-old sister of the X-Man Colossus. He used limbo's magical "stepping discs" to teleport her and a few of the X-Men to limbo. The X-Men rescued her, but not before Belasco gave her a magical pendant which he claimed would lead her to a powerful destiny as she grew older. The X-Men eventually escaped, but between their world and limbo they lost their grip on Illyana for a moment. When they grabbed her again and pulled her through, Illyana was a teenager, and soon began displaying her own mutant power to control limbo's stepping disks, giving her power over teleportation through space and, occasionally, through time.
During that moment Illyana was out of reach, she spent the rest of her childhood in limbo, sometimes with Belasco and sometimes with older versions of the X-Men who, in a branching timeline, failed to escape limbo themselves. (Again, time flows differently there, and sometimes loops back on itself.) Eventually the magic Belasco and others taught her gave Illyana the power to create a "soulsword" out of herself. This soulsword empowered her to drive Belasco out of limbo and take control of it herself. It was after this that she was able to return to earth with the X-Men.
From that point on, the soulsword became the figurative and literal symbol of the ruler of limbo. As long as it remained in limbo, Illyana retained power; when she took it to earth with her, other demons were able to exert their own influence. One, a former servant of Belasco named S'ym, eventually rallied the other demons to mutiny and was able to take the soulsword from Illyana. His goal was to permanently join earth and limbo; Illyana eventually stopped him by sacrificing herself and, through means never fully understood, reverting herself to a six-year-old child who had never grown up in limbo at all.
The soulsword continued to exist, and whoever wielded it was given power over limbo and all its denizens. When last it was seen, however, it had no owner.
In a less official sense, "limbo" is a term used by the fans of comic books and other storytelling universes to describe where a character is who hasn't been used in some time -- either because the writers have forgotten about him, they have him between adventures, or they just don't know what to do with him and have stuck him on the back burner for a while.

March 1, 2013 marked the end of 92 years and a great life for Adam Thadious Klosowski.
March 1, 2013 marked the end of 92 years and a great life for Adam Thadious Klosowski.
Adam was the youngest of nine children born to Rozalia (Tozeweski) and Severin Klosowski., both Polish immigrants. He was born on Nov. 4, 1920 at their home in Sturgeon Lake Township. He died at his home one-half mile from his birthplace.
Adam was a child of the Great Depression and a member of the Greatest Generation that went to war in 1941. He attended Cherry Grove Elementary and completed eight years of schooling by passing his eighth grade state examinations upon completing seventh grade. He worked on his family farm and supported himself by trapping, hunting, and fishing. Adam later moved to Chicago where he drove taxi cab. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Following training in the States, Adam was accepted into the Army Air Corps. While stationed in Sudbury, England with the Eighth Air Force, 486th Bomber Group, he flew as a waist gunner on 16 missions before his B-17 bomber was shot down over Munster, Germany. He was taken prisoner by the Germans and held as a POW in Stalag Luft IV for four months. Later he was forced to march toward the Western Front on the "Black Hunger March" in the midst of winter. He and a buddy escaped during the march and, after surviving two weeks of walking on their own and hiding, they finally ran into English troops on April 25, 1945.
Adam married his childhood sweetheart, Irene Magdziarz, on Aug. 18, 1945. The two settled in Duluth where Adam worked for the DMI Railroad and U.S. Steel. In 1947 he and Irene purchased a dairy farm in Sturgeon Lake where they would spend the rest of their lives. Adam subsidized their income by working road construction, as well as holding the position of township assessor; later he became Pine County Assessor. Adam wrote B-17 Gunner a WWII Autobiography and was active in speaking about his war experiences to civic groups and schools. He was fortunate to attend many reunions of the 486th and annual EX-POW conventions. In 2010 the St. Cloud Area Honor Flight Association selected Adam to visit Washington D.C. and the World War II Memorial. Always curious, Adam loved traveling. He and Irene visited most of the United States as well as countries abroad. He delighted in and was proud of his family. A true naturalist, Adam enjoyed the outdoors; through his appreciation and knowledge of it, he taught others to do the same. His sense of humor was legendary and he was a superb story teller.
He was preceded in death by all of his siblings; his son Kenneth, and his beloved wife of 62 years, Irene.
Adam will be sadly missed by his daughters, Mary Ann Novak (Gary), Carol LaPointe (Paul), Karen Hankes (Joe), and Jean Klosowski (Ken Swanson); 13 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren and all those who enjoyed the blessings of knowing him.
Special thanks to Mercy Home Health Care, Visionary Care, and Essentia Health St. Mary's Hospice.

I'm biased... I have a nine-year-old son named Mason, so I obviously love that name! I agree with previous poster -- we picked it because it was classic without being trendy. Perfect for a little guy and also a great name for a grown man. And it flows so well with Christopher. We've only met one other child with the same name (same age and a neighbor, they are best buds -- what are the odds!!).

Is Mason really all that popular? I wouldn't worry about it. It's lovely and it sounds nice next to Christopher. No worries!
July 24th, 2013 02:34 PM #14
I think Mason Christopher is a very handsome name, it's strong while still being interesting and I love the inclusion of the classic Christopher! Ava Grace and Mason Christopher work well together and form a really cohesive sibset. Carter Christopher M doesn't have the same flow to it and if your husband doesn't like it I think it's a bit late to try to change his mind. I would go with the name you both like especially because it is a lovely combination that seems to fit well with your family. Good luck and congrats on your little boy!

March 12, 2014
State officials have accused a Middleton foster care agency of misusing nearly $5 million in taxpayer money.
The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families has revoked the license of Community Care Resources. The state alleges the agency inflated salaries and spent money on luxury cars, personal travel and other inappropriate expenses between 2009 and 2011.
Owner Dan Simon has vigorously denied the allegations. The State Journal says Simon plans to appeal the revocation.
State regulators say Simon and his wife, Mary, earned at least $531,000 in inflated salaries. In addition, the state says CCR billed for more than $64,000 in personal travel, including trips to Alaska and Hawaii.
Community Care Resources says it provides foster-care services to about 200 children around Wisconsin.

A power conditioner with superior surge protection that eliminates both AC noise contamination and damage or lost data from voltage spikes.
The most widely-recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning is proud to introduce the P-8 PRO II power conditioner featuring Furman's revolutionary SMP technology. Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit features their exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) plus a high-current TVZ-MOV. Together, these technologies comprise what is, without question, incredibly advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressors.
SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus):
This Furman power conditioner features SMP surge suppression that virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system and repair of your surge suppressor. This is not so with the SMP in the Furman P-8 PRO II power conditioner. With Furman's SMP, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and dissipated with no sacrificed parts, no service calls, and no down time.
Unique to Furman's SMP is its unparalleled clamping voltage, even when tested beyond the grueling specifications of USA/CIDA's A-1-1 test. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC peak (far beyond long-accepted professional standards), Furman's SMP clamps at 188VAC peak and 133 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple 6000VAC - 3000 amp surges. This unprecedented level of surge protection is only available with Furman's SMP technology.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology):
Unfortunately, traditional AC filters/conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they could help due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line. Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destroyed digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman's SMP with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal performance of the P-8 PRO II power conditioner through linear filtering and no leakage to ground.
EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown):
Furman's trusted overvoltage circuitry protects against all-too-frequent, accidental connections to 208 or 240VAC by shutting off the incoming power until the overvoltage condition is corrected.
Rear-panel BNC connector:
For rear-panel illumination, a BNC connector is provided for connection of any standard gooseneck lamp, such as Furman's GN-LED or GN-I ( both sold separately).
Order today and get superior technology with the Furman P-8 PRO II power conditioner.

I'm wondering -- To accommodate 6 drops in 25, will they allow multiple drops of the same item to occur (as happens in VoA), or will they just have each boss drop half its loot table per fight?
If the former, I can't wait for someone to send a screenshot to Around Azeroth of 6 of the same item dropping. Bet it won't take long, either.

Don't blink. In what might be the strangest offseason the Cleveland Browns have had since expansion, you could miss a candidate come and go. Then come back again. The team will hire Kyle Shanahan as offensive coordinator according to Alex Marvez.
Carolina's Steve Smith seems to think that not only does the blame for the Panthers' woes last season fall on his former OC, but it was Chudzinski's efforts to get a job as a head coach that did it. The problem: That doesn't make much sense.
USC players took to Twitter to vent their frustrations and disbelief upon hearing news of reports that offensive coordinator/running backs coach Kennedy Polamaly would not be returning to USC next season.
Kennedy Polamalu is out at USC. The Trojans offensive coordinator (in title) and running backs coach will not return next season, according to USCFootball.com.

Authentic Thai Cuisine Using the Freshest and Finest Ingredients |
Nongkran Daks, Executive Chef. Member, Les Dames d'Escoffier Thai Basil Restaurant uses the only freshest and finest ingredients, with no MSG. Nongkran Daks, Executive Chef and owner, was born to cook. Nongkran is a combination of fantastic cook and dedicated teacher, who can make her cuisine come alive in all its authentic, traditional glory. She has taught Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese cooking in Bangkok, Beijing, Honolulu, Vientiane, Laos and Washington, DC. Nongkran is the author of several Asian cookbooks and if you are lucky enough to take one of her cooking classes, you will learn the secrets of the best, most authentic Pad Thai this side of Bangkok. The décor in the restaurant is pretty and filled with native artifacts from Thailand. Nongkran serves a wide range of traditional Thai dishes, plus many dishes that do not often appear in local restaurants. Consider starting off with Kari Puf a Vegetarian Appetizer, a mouth watering puff pastry filled with potatoes, carrots and peas. Next, try one of her most popular curries. Gang Matsaman Nua is loaded with chunks of cooked beef in 17 herbs and spices, making this the most popular among westerns. Or try the Gang Dang with pork, beef or chicken in red curry with bamboo shoots, basil and string beans or Thai eggplant, or the Pineapple and Shrimp Curry with silvers of fresh pineapple. Many of the dishes are "On The Light Side," low in calories but rich in taste, such as Khanom Bueng Yuan, a rice flour crepe filled with pork, shrimp, mushroom, onion and bean sprouts, served with garlic-lime-chili sauce. A vegetarian menu is also available. To read a recent Washington Post Review, Click Here.
"I learned to appreciate good Thai food while visiting Bangkok. Sampling Mrs. Daks' cuisine was like reliving those wonderful memories all over again. Truly fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Ms. Daks also makes you feel like you are the only one she is cooking for in her restaurant. A wonderful experience." "No pseudo-Thai here" - you can rely on this Chantilly Asian south of Dulles Airport for "the real thing," chef-owner Nongkran Daks, "a great cooking teacher, prepares "fantastic" signature noodles and other fare at wallet-friendly prices."
A traditionalist, Daks plays it straight and never falls prey to the labor saving tricks that destroy good Thai flavors. If you are having a special event, Catering is available.
At the Thai Basil Restaurant, Chef-Owner Nongkran Daks offers classes for those who wish to make authentic Thai dishes right in their own home. Courses consist of three hands-on sessions with each class session concluding with a dinner consisting of the dishes learned. Class size is small. In addition to food preparation, Nongkran also adds stories of her culinary adventures in Thailand and other Asian countries. She also offers tips on how to shop and where to get the best buys for ingredients. Classes are generally held on weekend afternoons from 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm. Tuition includes instruction, typed recipes, ingredients, a full dinner and every effort to make sure you have a great time.
Nongkran's cookbooks, "Thai Soups and Salads" and "Thai Noodles and Snacks" and "Homestyle Vietnamese Cooking" are available at the restaurant or by mail. | |||||||||||

High Speed Rail
HC 1185-I, Tenth Report of Session 2010-12 - Volume I: Report, Together with Formal Minutes
- Author:
- House of Commons - Transport Committee
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'High Speed Rail (HC 1185-I)' reports the Transport Committee's belief that there is a good case for a high speed rail network, linking London and the major cities of the Midlands, the North and Scotland. But the Government must firmly commit to the Y network (to Leeds and Manchester) before seeking parliamentary approval for High Speed 2 (HS2).
If the Government decides to go ahead with HS2, it should publish a summary of the financial case showing how the project is affordable alongside sustained investment in the classic network.
A full assessment of the case for building from north to south should be carried out.
The disputed travel time savings should be addressed in an updated economic case.
The Committee is concerned that the Government is developing separate strategies for rail and aviation, with HS2 separate from both, and calls again for the publication of a comprehensive transport strategy.
The Government should look again at the case for a direct link to Heathrow, and costs and benefits of routing HS2 via Heathrow should be set out more clearly.
Better information is needed on:
the proposals for London termini and linkages;
risk factors of operating 18 trains per hour at 225mph;
the location of stations on the Y network; and
environmental impacts.
Claims that HS2 would deliver substantial carbon-reduction benefits do not stand up to scrutiny.
The Government should desist from disparaging opponents of high speed rail as NIMBYs. Both sides in the debate should show respect for each other and focus on the facts.

Recommended Just For You
Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Great complement to our invitations
Forever Yours Thank You Cards We ordered these thank-you cards as a nice follow-up to our Forever Yours invitations. The hunter green color and paper quality were the same that we saw in our invites and made a nice complement so that we could continue our theme in what the guests were receiving.
Awesome website!
Forever Yours Wedding Water Bottle Labels The Forever Yours bottle labels were wonderful. They were personalized exactly the way I ordered. The best thing is that even though they were ordered very close to the wedding date, not only did they arrive on time--they actually arrived earlier than promised! I'd highly recommend MagnetStreet to anyone planning a weddin!
Forever Yours Invitations
Forever Yours Foldover Pockets We ordered the Forever Yours Invitations, along with 2 inserts - one for directions and one for a response card. I love the fact that the back of the invitation also can have information, so it is a bit cleaner and doesn't have as many inserts. It came in the estimated time frame, and was nicely packaged. The ONLY complaint is that the flap does not have a little slit to tuck into like we originally thought. Not a big deal though, we assumed it would because a different invitation we had gotten as a sample had one. We still wouldn't change our invitations and are very happy! The customizing ability is really what made us order from MagnetStreet. We will definitely order from here again for our menu cards and ceremony programs.
Completes the look!
Forever Yours Envelope Seals I ordered these seals to use on the backs of the envelopes. They complete the entire look of the invitation. Great product at a great price.
Couldn't have been better
Forever Yours Save the Date Magnets These were beautiful. And Great quality. I got so many compliments on my save the dates. I WILL be purchasing my invitations, and thank you cards from magnetstreet.com!!

LG Motion 4G just as powerful as S3, OneX ,etc?
I just bought my wife a LG Motion 4g for metro pcs , this phone has the same S4 chip as my beloved S3 and other top dogs.
My surprise was when I ran some benchmarks here are the results:
S3 = 5077 Quadrant , 6866 AnTunTu
LG = 5046 Quadrant , 6928 AnTunTu
Of course benchmarks aren't everything on the phones the S3 , Onex are still superior phones due to more ram , screen , size, etc but still for $149 this phone (it has ICS 4.0.4 too) with Metro's LTE (more like 3g+) it's an amazing phone and have been testing network speeds here in San Francisco and I'm avg'ing 4-5mbps . Sprint 's 3g network = 448kbps lol . - 08-23-2012, 03:54 PM #2
Re: LG Motion 4G just as powerful as S3, OneX ,etc?
Yeah. That and the lower resolution have a lot to do with it.

Re: LG Motion 4G just as powerful as S3, OneX ,etc?
My dad just got a S3 with Verizon and i have the Motion 4G. Other than the screen size, resolution (which sometimes effects games & apps but not very many) and 5MP camera, they're pretty similar. I was running the two side by side and both seem to run the same speed with apps, games and such. The internet is drastically different though, lol. I'd, no doubt, pay full price for a One X+ if i could afford/tolerate AT&T. If the One X+ would come to Sprint/T-Mo/Metro/Verizon I'd buy it release day. I'm looking into the Optimus G right now though.

I have to agree, the mueseum was incredible. While I am not a "Lincoln Lover", per se, I must admit that I was humbled and awed at everything I saw. It is virtually indescribable, because of the feelings it conjurs up in one's heart to see Abe visiting his sick son, while Mrs. Lincoln carries on with a party.....we know the boy will die, we are omniscient; whereas the caring father, staring at his son by candlelight, can only mutter a prayer of hope and feel a lump in his throat while the boy lay ill...... This mueseum is not an average muesuem. "If you've seen one, you've seen'em all" does not do justice to these exhibits..... |

Washington, D.C. (September 10, 2012) – The Biotechnology Industry Organization's (BIO) 2012 Pacific Rim Summit on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioenergywill feature two breakout sessions focusing on commercial applications for algae and advances in algal biomass production and processing. The Summit will bring together industry leaders, university researchers and venture capitalists to facilitate networking and business partnerships this October 9-12 at the Westin Bayshorein Vancouver, Canada.
Algae-produced oils hold the potential for replacing fossil fuel resources in many products. Algae derived starches, oils and proteins can be used in food, animal feed or nutrition supplements, and fatty acids from algae can be used in diesel biofuels as well.
"Volatile pricing for fossil fuels, political instability in petroleum producing regions, and the environmental impacts of fossil fuels are some of the key reasons that producers of chemicals and plastics are searching for alternative, renewable resources like algae," said Brent Erickson, executive vice president for BIO's Industrial & Environmental Section. "The continued progress in advancing algae, among other feedstocks, toward commercial applications is a vital step in building a growing biobased economy that can strengthen economic security and enhance energy security."
Featured breakout sessions include:
Microalgae: Advancing to Commercial Applications
Thursday, October 11, 4 - 5:30pm
Advances in Algal Biomass Production and Processing
Friday, October 12, 8:30-10am
Registration is now open.
Media registrationis now open and available. Complimentary media registration is available to editors and reporters with valid press credentials working full time for print, broadcast or web publications.
Now in its seventh year, the Pacific Rim Summit on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioenergy will address the latest issues in industrial biotechnology, including algae, advanced biofuels, biopolymers and bioplastics, dedicated energy crops, green chemistry, and synthetic biology. The annual Pacific Rim Summit is the original conference dedicated solely to growth of the industrial biotechnology sector in Asia and the Americas. Visit http://bio.org/pacrim.
The Summit features four breakout tracks with 24 sessions, designed to keep you on the cutting edge of industrial biotech. In addition to the breakout sessions, the Pacific Rim Summit will present four plenary sessionsfeaturing international executives and academic leaders in industrial biotechnology. The plenary sessions will cover innovation and the future of advanced biofuels and biorefinery development, renewable chemicals, biomass utilization, and synthetic biology.
