It's time for Congress to help the many jobless Americans an estimated
450,000 in the next three months alone who are about to be denied
federally- funded Unemployment Insurance benefits.
What Congress must do and must do quickly is once again expand the
emergency program that was established during the Great Recession in 2008 to
provide benefits averaging $300 a week to the steadily growing number of
jobless. Congress has until only January 1 to block the first cutbacks of
extra benefit weeks that could continue until at least 2015 unless Congress
President Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing measures that would
lengthen the benefit payout period through 2014 at a cost of about $25
billion on top of the $225 billion spent so far on the program. But given
the congressional haggling over economic measures, the chance of agreement
before Congress adjourns December 31 is slight.
Meanwhile , the number of Americans unable to find jobs they need for
survival remains in the millions. Already, there are four million who have
been seeking jobs for more than six months and many others who have stopped
Particularly hard hit are aging as well as younger workers, and women and
minorities. Their number and need for unemployment benefits is certain
to grow, most likely at a rapid pace.
All this is happening, of course, at the same time that banks, corporate
interests and other wealthy Republican friends continue raking in huge
profits. Money gained from relaxing the tax breaks given such political
friends, for instance, could very well go into funding further Unemployment
Insurance payments and other steps to help U.S. workers.
Ironically, cutting the federal benefit program could actually lead to more
unemployment. That's because workers denied benefits naturally have less to
spend and that could in turn cause those who rely on the laid-off workers'
business to cut back operations.
The need for extending the federal benefit program should be obvious to
anyone outside the powerful circle of GOP & friends. Listen to what Gene
Sperling, Obama's chief economic adviser, told the New York Times' Annie
"There has not been a time where the unemployment rate has been this high
where you have not extended it. Why would you not expand now, when you're
dealing with the nearly unprecedented levels of long-tern unemployment
coming off such a historic recession? "
Why not, indeed?

Unemployment insurance and other forms of government benefits act as a disincentive to work.
The unemployed need help now, as do many other people:
Sequester cuts to deprive over 125,000 households of housing aid
"Far from calling for an end to the cuts that both parties had previously sought to palm off as inadvertent and arising from political "gridlock," the US political establishment is increasingly calling for the cuts to be made permanent. Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore summed up the perspective of the US ruling class when he wrote last week: "The sequester cuts in annual budgets for the military, education, transportation and other discretionary programs have also been an under appreciated success, with none of the anticipated negative consequences." Barack Obama, for his part, has called for replacing the sequester cuts with an even more draconian package of cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security."
of government borrowing.
The best cure for unemployment is a gradual decline in the cost of labor.
So you want Americans to work longer and harder for less?
They have to work harder now because they have to hand so much of their pay packet to the government as a tithe.
The more taxes are paid, the more the economy hums and the higher wages are even after taxes. The 1990s proved this conclusively. But that left too much money in the hands of the middle class which caused political problems for the theoclassical economists, therefore that had to grind to a screeching halt.
The productive part of the economy is the total economy minus that which the government confiscates.
That is why almost every major nation has enacted lower taxes over the last 30 or so years. When the public sector becomes too large, as in places like France, Spain, Greece and Italy, then the economy suffers.
The government taxes and then spends those dollars back into the economy almost immediately. Nothing is lost unless government debt is paid down, then those dollars are indeed extracted from the economy.
and then we'd all be rich.
Money the government confiscates tends to be dead money - much of it is spent overseas or given to those who spend it unproductively.
"Starve the beast" is political orthodoxy at this point.
You are wrong, taxes are not extracted from the economy, they are spent back into the economy, into the public sector. That is why businesses spend to much money trying to buy elections, to become the beneficiaries of those taxed expenditures, as in insurers buying Obamacare.
funds are controlled by bureaucrats rather than by enterprises.
That is so widely held and well known that it's not even a debate any more.
Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, Canada and Denmark are not underperforming. They are outperforming the Anglo-Saxon countries of the United States and the United Kingdom.
Bureaucrats do a better job of allocating resources than capitalists in many industries. This is so widely known and held it isn't even worth a debate anymore. Everyone is in favor of mixed economies except for a few kooky Ayn Rand types.
The issue is that government taxing does not take money out of the economy unless the government uses tax receipts to retire debt in which case those dollars are indeed extinguished. This is why debt reduction and austerity under threat of a liquidity trap and slack demand are so dangerous.
Even though we already spend 40% more than we take in taxes and know that is unsustainable?
Thank god people like you don't have any power. The voters aren't that stupid.
The English tried austerity during the downturn and did worse than anyone else. They are still in a recession, last I checked.
Don't think so.
which practice good old WASP politics and ethics, rather than the southern european high-tax basket cases like France, Spain, Italy and Greece.
The US beats the Netherlands and Denmark on annual GDP growth over the last four years. Germany and Sweden have been doing well, but other high-spending countries like France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Greece are doing far worse. The UK's spending is very high, much higher than Canada's, which is similar to the US.
Countries with low taxes and high spending, like Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal do poorly. It is important to have high taxes along with high spending. All those countries run massive structural deficits, which catch up to you eventually.
The Netherland and Denmark beat the US on Per Capita GDP growth over the longer term. You have to adjust for population growth, the US grows about 1%/yr most European countries do not.
Now I do not believe that taxing 100% of income leads to even faster growth, it is just important to socialize those things which are better run by plodding government bureaucrats, like medicine, health care and transportation and let the greedy capitalists do the things they are best at, like producing manufacturing goods.
The world does not run according to a formula in a theory book.
Each problem is unique and lends itself to a range of solutions. Sometimes a pure public sector solution is best, sometimes a joint venture public/private and sometimes private solutions are best. It all depends on the nature of the problem at hand.
Much of our tax dollars goes to naught.
At the federal level tax dollars go to foreign aide, over seas military adventures, foreign bases etc... The federal government spends billions outside the USA and on useless non sense.
The states, counties and municipalities do the same with their redundant make work projects.
I hate to break it to you, good and services create wealth, shuffling money off to the San Francisco Dept of the environment creates nothing of value.
"Particularly hard hit are aging as well as younger workers, and women and
minorities. Their number and need for unemployment benefits is certain
to grow, most likely at a rapid pace."
True, so long as Obama is President.
The implication here is clear enough - if you are a white male, you get no sympathy if something bad happens to you, because compassion is only available to people who are young, old, non-white or female.
Nothing is more inspiring than affluent retired white guys complaining about white privilege!
A true white man's burden.
The most out of work type was the working class male in the trades.
White males migrated to knowledge work in the last couple pf decades.
because I think you are talking out of your ass again.
What is knowledge work? Being a contestant on Jeopardy?
It's all knowledge work and service work these days.
Once again Anon demonstrates ignorance.
You need to get out of the northwest corner of the City, every now and then, anon.
I'm going with less than 10%. Prove me wrong.
Industry is kind of a vague term.
As far as manufacturing, %10 sounds about right, citywide.
In Dogpatch or Bayview, for example, it might be as much as half the economy.
parts of the city where few people ever go.
Got it.
%10 per cent isn't trivial, so no, I don't agree.
The present and future of San Francisco is high-paid knowledge work and not trying to do what they do better in Texas, Mexico or China.
When I said trades I meant it in the broadest sense.
Still, the hardest hit in the great recession was male's in typical male jobs.
The least hit was government workers, which are often new class make work jobs for we all know who.
They should do what Americans have always done. Get a job, if not here, then sone place else.
North Dakota is booming, thanks to fracking, and there is a labor shortage there.
There's always work but you have to look for it and make an effort to get it. The nanny state throwing "help" at them is the wrong tactic. That just creates an entitlement mentality.
To think that not long ago taking charity was shameful. When did so many Americans become whining children?
The only Americans who are whining are the tax whining billionaires who complain and caterwaul about paying their fair share.
Wanna try again?
How do billionaires pay a majority of taxes collected? Do they make a majority of income? You are not even close to true here. Even the top 1% doesn't pay a majority of taxes and the vast majority of the 1% aren't billionaires.
so they don't pay their fair share.
They don't pay whatever percentage, but if they do they should pay more.
What is a fair share when it all goes into furnace anyways?
and make less sense than anyone here. For years, no less.
"no wrong answer" that means whatever is said you will find something to bitch about. It's also the Rush Limbaugh syndrome, whatever someone says or does just bitch about it. It could also be called the Saul Alinsky school of whining. Another area the right and left meet up together,
Someones complains that the rich don't pay a certain percentage, then when it is pointed out they do, the next step is complaining that they should pay their 'fair share." "no wrong answer."
Then I point out that whatever anyone pays it will be wasted.
Whats odd is that the left hates the government and yet wants to give it more money.
The Right claims to hate the government but they constantly want to grow their pet programs: Military, Police, the NSA, etc.
The Left is the same, but they want to grow their own pet programs: Food Stamps, Education, Medicare, SSI, etc.
The only real difference is that The Left wants to raise taxes to pay for their goodies and The Right thinks that they can just borrow and foist the cost off to someone else. Because of this, The Left is actually more responsible.
Meaning the left keeps out of my wallet and the right keeps out of my bedroom.
You are a nutter, the top 1% doesn't even pay half of all federal income taxes:
And income taxes are the most progressive of all taxes:
Show me the proof for your completely incorrect bullshit statement.
still pay the vast majority of all taxes and therefore subsidize everyone else.

Rating claims on pay-to-play and income tax rates, tallying political ad rulings
The Truth-O-Meter this weekend found that former Gov. James E. McGreevey did not end pay-to-play on county and state contracts as he claims, and Senate President Stephen Sweeney isn't to blame for New Jersey's income tax rates. And with a week to go before Election Day, review our Truth-O-Meter tallies on political ads circulating around the state.

First, I think the sentence has a problem with wording. It's somewhat unclear what you meant to say.
Are you analysing the words as the parts of speech (i.e. verb, noun) or parts of the sentence (subject, predicate)?

- Kyoto Notre Dame University
- Marian Court College
- Massachusetts Bay Community College
- Middlesex Community College

Agreements For Regis College Students In Articulation Agreements With Other Schools
- Salve Regina University (PhD Program)
- Western New England University School of Law (JD Program)
*Agreements may be with specific programs or with the college as a whole. Please consult with Regis College Academic Affairs for the most updated information or with the school the student is wishing to transfer from.
MassTransfer Block
The MassTransfer Block refers to a set of general education, core, or distribution requirements, consisting of 34 college-level credits:
|Subject Areas
|Behavioral and social sciences
|Courses may be in either subject area
|Humanities and fine arts
|Courses may be in either subject area
|Natural or physical science
|Must include at least one course with a lab
|English composition/writing
|Mathematics/quantitative reasoning
These credits, when completed together with a 2.0 or higher GPA, fully transfer to Regis College… even if you don't have your associate degree. These credits also satisfy the general education/distribution/core requirements at Regis College, with Regis being able to add no more than six additional credits/two courses.
Regis College's policy for transfer students entering the nursing major requires a transfer student to complete a semester of residency (a.k.a. one semester of courses) at Regis College prior to being accepted into the nursing major. With the residency requirement completed, you will join all other students in competing for admission into the Regis nursing program. Review of all applicants to the nursing major occurs at the conclusion of each fall term, at which time Regis will admit a designated number of qualified students.
The decision will be based primarily on the student's grade-point average to date, with particular attention to the quality of performance in "Introduction to Nursing" and in prerequisite Regis science and math courses. Those who meet the basic criteria for program admission, but who do not gain entry, may elect to be waitlisted and be considered if an opening becomes available*. These candidates will be considered as before, against all candidates; therefore, program admission is not guaranteed. A student denied admission to nursing may continue in another academic major so long as he or she remains in good academic standing and meets the qualifications of that academic major.
*Transfer students who meet certain qualifications from Dean College may be directly accepted into nursing. Please speak with your admission counselor for details.
General science classes that will transfer towards nursing major credit
- Anatomy & Physiology I, II
- Chemistry
- Micro-Biology
Recommended summer courses
- Expressive Arts (specifically Spanish in Health Professions)
- Mathematics (specifically Statistics)
- Any elective
- Introduction to Nursing generally will not transfer
- No class with a grade below a C will transfer

Textile Commissioner A.B. Joshi foresees a 10 to 15 per cent reduction in cotton area this season as compared to the last.
(The area under cotton during the last season was 122 lakh hectares).
"This reduction in area is not only due to deficit rainfall, but also the price perception," he clarified, on the sidelines of a two-day International Conference on Industrial Textiles – InduTech 2012, which was inaugurated at the PSG College of Technology here this morning.
He, however, allayed fears on the production front, stating 'We don't expect a major decline in yield levels. Global cotton availability has been in excess of demand and the imported cotton is found to be 4 to 5 cents/ pound cheaper than the domestically available cotton. Some imports are happening,' he added.

What Coffee Supplies Do I Need to Make Great Coffee?
Essential coffee supplies can make a world of difference in your home-brewing experience. If you don't have the right supplies and equipment, you won't be able to make the best possible cup of coffee. All of your coffee supplies, including your coffee maker, add up to you having the rich, delicious cup of coffee you desire. Your coffee brewer, needless to say, is the most important piece of equipment for making great tasting coffee. There are many styles of coffee makers on the market, some that are just simple drip brewers and some are massive coffee machines that grind, brew and even make espresso as well as coffee. Your own needs will determine the right kind of machine for your lifestyle.
If you need early morning coffee, you should consider one with a timer. Just brewing for yourself? Consider a single-serve brewing system that uses pods. For a larger family, get a machine that will make at least 8 cups at a time. Besides all the various features, the basic machine is still the drip coffee maker though the pressurized single-serve systems are gaining in popularity. Filters Drip machines that use loose coffee will also need filters. They may seem insignificant, but they really are essential coffee supplies. A paper filter is easiest to use, but you will have to keep replacing them and they can give your coffee a papery taste. Permanent gold filters are cleaner and won't change the taste of your coffee. They cost more, but will last you nearly forever. If you are using a pod-system for your brewing, you won't need any filters since they are built-in to the pods. Choose a coffee brewer for yourself that is easiest to always have all the supplies on hand for it to function as it should.
Creamers and Sweeteners: Unless you drink your coffee black, you should always have the right "extras" on hand as part of your coffee supplies. Most people add a little creamer and/or sweetener to their coffee, and both of these come in many forms. Heavy cream is the richest but can add quite a load of extra calories to your coffee so many drinkers stick with milk (even soy milk for the vegans). Powdered creamer is shelf-stable and lasts a very long time, so you can always keep a jar of it on hand for the day when you find yourself without any fresh milk. For sweeteners, you can go with sugar, honey or artificial sweetener. Stevia is a nice herbal alternative with no calories. A squirt of flavored syrup is a decadent touch. Your coffee condiment supplies can be as extensive as your taste!
The Coffee: Last but certainly not least, the coffee itself needs as much attention as the machine you brew it in. Pre-ground coffee is convenient, though it won't make you the best cup of coffee in the long run. Try buying whole bean coffee, and grind it yourself right before you fill up your coffee maker. Don't limit yourself to one style of coffee either. Experiment and keep a few different varietals or roasts on hand so you'll have a few options to choose from. Some days you might feel like a dark Colombian roast, and other days you might prefer a lightly roasted hazelnut Jamaican. Bean Grinder While bean grinders may seem like more of a luxury than true essential coffee supplies, many coffee lovers would disagree. Being able to grind your roasted coffee beans right before brewing can make a world of difference in the flavor of your coffee. Travel Mug Unless you are able to sit at home to enjoy your coffee, you really should have a good-quality thermal mug. What is the sense of brewing up a fantastic cup of coffee if you have to rush and finish before you leave for work. Have a mug handy.

I have a random light switch that functions 2 wall outlets in my living room. The switch is on a wall we took down and I have no need for the switch, I'd like these 2 wall outlets always hot. The wall switch has two sets of wires going into it. 2 blacks and 2 whites. Easy to cap off and avoid using it? Maybe not the easiest thing to explain without someone seeing, but if you have any advice it would be amazing.
The white wires should already be tied together. Of the black wires, one is hot and one goes to the outlets. If the two blacks wires are joined then the switch has been eliminated from the circuit and the outlets will always be hot.
Wow that was easy. Thanks! The whites were already wired together, I connected the blacks, turned the power back on and the outlets work great. The whites were just twisted together and electrical taped, which is what I also did (temporarily) just roll up the extra slack on the wire and put it in a storage box in the attic?
The wall that housed the switch has been removed correct? If so a metal junction box has to located in an accessible location. This is the box where you made up the new connections will be placed in. Please pre-twist those wires before twisting on wire nuts. {Even though wire nut box instructions will tell you otherwise}. It will save headaches later trust me. Some wiremen will tape the wire nuts as well. To me that is just a waste of Scotch 33 electrical tape. But that is up to you. The junction box location will either be in the cellar or above in the attic perhaps. You can even Sharpie the breaker number on the junction box cover plate for future reference.
I am not sure what your reference to extra wire means. You can trim back the extra wire present to tidy up you work.

Auralex Bamboo KeyPac 21.5"x21.5"x 0.625" (4 pack)
Most rooms are not dedicated to one particular application. Sometimes you want the room to have a more controlled, "dry" character, while other times you would like the room to open up and breathe. With Auralex Sustain KeyPacs, the Perforated Absorption Covers allow you to have the best of both worlds in your listening environment. These specially designed panels will tune your absorption treatment to be more effective in the low and mid range while not killing off the higher frequencies – yielding a room that is well balanced across the frequency range. With an easy installation method, the Perforated Absorption Covers can be put into place within seconds allowing you to experiment with various placement options, thus tailoring your sound to your needs. Auralex presents the Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusors, a new line of bamboo diffusors designed to accommodate each room's unique acoustical needs. Improve the overall sound and "liveliness" of your room with the sonic warmth of any of the Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusors. Acoustic sound diffusion keeps sound waves from grouping by scattering the sound more evenly throughout the room. Make your room sound larger and more live by adding diffusion to your space!

Feingold to Give Opening Keynote at Netroots Nation
by Jason Williams, Fri Mar 18, 2011 at 05:13:30 PM EDT
Day old news, but still worth a mention. Russ Feingold will deliver the opening keynote at Netroots Nation 2011 in Minnesota. Feingold's announcement brings it full circle, outlining the fight progressives have taken up:
If you've been following what's going on in Wisconsin, then you're seeing what I'm seeing: the ever-increasing, corruptive power of corporations that continue to invade our system of government.
And that's why I just launched Progressives United, a new organization that will bring together progressives like you to fight back against that corporate influence.
Many of you have already been hard at work standing up for the American people and fighting back against the hundreds of millions of dollars from corporate special interests. But our real fight is ahead, as special interests will try to buy their way to victory in 2012.
Feingold's direct involvement in protests and push-back against Walker's "budget" in Wisconsin position him well. Reaction to events in Wisconsin have helped to define a clear narrative for this year's conference on the vigourous (and organized) GOP attack on unions, mass progressive push-back, and linking it all back to increased coporate influence through Citizens United.
Defining a progressive strategy and narrative will be key to constructing an ongoing mass movement out of mass outrage. Feingold can help lead that charge.

Gold Award Recipients recognized at Winter Gold Ceremony
HOUSTON (January 2010) – Seven Girl Scout Gold Award recipients were honored Sunday, Jan. 10 in the annual Winter Gold Award Ceremony. Girls recognized at the ceremony completed their Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve, during the summer following their high school graduation. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
Those honored included: Kayla A., Breanne K., Barbara N., Amanda N., Sterling P., Alessandra R. and Georgia W.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
Kayla A. donated supplies to two local animal shelters and taught younger Girl Scout troops the importance of volunteering.
Breanne K. held a weekly summer program for children at Mission of Yahweh, a shelter for battered and homeless women. She led the children in art, music and game activities. At the end of the summer, the children starred in a play Breanne directed.
Barbara N. taught knitting and donated hats and scarves to Foot Washing Ministry. Over 30 people attended Barbara's knitting sessions. During a three-month period, she held sessions after school and was able to donate over 60 hand-made items.
Amanda N. refurbished Cypress Wood's running trail, which included filling a four-foot deep sink hole, placing reflectors around other dangerous terrain, posting reflective tape on bridge guard railings, clearing limbs and brush, and collecting over 420 gallons of trash.
Sterling P. tagged brush for the city to clear, made Lady Bird Johnson's wildflower seed balls and distributed them in TC Jester Park.
Alessandra R. held 15 sewing workshops where participants made 30 blankets for Pregnancy Assistance Center North. During the workshops, Alessandra educated participants about the struggles women face who turn to Pregnancy Assistance Center North.
Georgia W. made quilts for families staying at Ronald McDonald houses in Houston. Following Hurricane Ike, her donations were specifically directed to the Ronald McDonald house in Galveston.
This year's Winter Gold Award ceremony was underwritten by the Bellaire Optimist Club. Additionally, the club contributed to the Gold Award scholarship fund. At the close of the ceremony John Augsburger, a representative of the Bellaire Optimist Club, accepted the GSSJC Community Award for the club's annual sponsorship of the Winter Gold Award ceremony.
Girl Scouts is the premier leadership organization for girls. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 17,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Delay in Jo InterviewJKR Interviews
Hey all; we're still waiting to get some of the "i"s dotted and the "t"s crossed in the last part of the Jo interview. We know it won't matter to many of you, but it does to us. All three of us want to make sure that what was said is transmitted in print, that the meanings come across correctly - hence the delay. A couple of things I and Emerson said are totally incomprehensible on the tapes, and we're trying to sort out what those things were. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience and we PROMISE it's worth it. I think I personally like this bit best; there's a lot of question-question-question-answer-answer-answer type interchanges (as when it got down to the wire we moved to more of a lightning-round format). So, hang tight, okay? Thanks. :)

Kyle Busch has lost sponsor M&M's for the last two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races of this season due to his actions at Texas, but will still race at Phoenix and Homestead thanks to sponsorship from Interstate Batteries.
M&M's isn't breaking up with Busch for good, though. The company will return to sponsor Busch next season after sending what it believes is a strong message to Busch not to screw up again.
In a statement released shortly after 9:30 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday night, Mars (which owns M&M's) said Busch's relationship with the company is dependent on no future incidents taking place.
Busch came under fire after intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr. during last week's Camping World Truck Series race and was parked for the weekend by NASCAR, then later fined.
Mars, though, felt that wasn't enough.
"Kyle's recent actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of Mars," a company official said in a statement. "While we do not condone Kyle's recent actions, we do believe that he has shown remorse and has expressed a desire to change. We believe our decision will have a positive impact on Kyle and will help him return next season ready to win."
Team owner Joe Gibbs said the team "strongly supports Mars' decision."
"This gives us all time to work together to foster a positive change where Kyle can continue racing in a way we can all be proud of," he said.
Busch will address the NASCAR media as the first scheduled driver availability session on Friday morning.


text: What is the key to motivation? Traditionally, most business models follow a carrot & stick approach: good work earns rewards, poor work does not. But is this really the best way to get the most from our employees? Dan Pink has done the research, and he concludes that in most cases, the carrot & stick model actually decreases motivation and productivity. This fascinating TED Talk video will break down why we need to re-think motivation in order to get the most creativity and effective efforts from our employees.

Setting goals that promote my personal growth. There is purpose waiting to emerge from a place of pain. Pain is NEVER intended to be permanent. I'm content where I am but I'm DETERMINED not to stay here. I won't settle beneath my promise, because I'm tired of the process. Remember being defeated is often a temporary condition; it's giving up that makes it permanent. Opportunity follows failure. It follows effort. It follows hard work. It doesn't come before any of those things.
Make a decision && TRUST it. Be firm, be decisive, be focused. EVERYTHING in my life begin to change once my desire to move on exceeded my desire to hold on. I had to let shit go && Focus FORWARD. There comes a point where you gotta stop wishing && start DOING! You have the POWER to unlock YOUR life. Know what YOU want. Then GO Make it happen. It doesn't matter what ANYONE SAYS about ME, THEY can't STOP what GOD has ORDAINED over MY life! I got the NEXT Level Favor ;)
Change your HABITS to change your LIFE! You have to grow as you go && have to know that YOU are worthy of better before you begin to expect better. Change begets change so you have to confront the sitution, FIRST in order for it to change. DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF, EVER! BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE && ALWAYS WORK TO YOUR FULLEST CAPACITY. Bitterness && revenge are not healthy fuels to power your dreams && progress with because that will make you end up with regret. Know that you'll make progress if you just keep moving!
It's time to WIN && I know that It's about to TURN && WORK in MY FAVOR! YOU can be YOUR best YOU to the best of YOUR abilities NOW, you don't have to wait. Being FABULOUS right where I am! If GOD allowed it then I know that He's using it && He has a PURPOSE in mind! PURPOSE is a pain alleviator. Sometimes despite the pain && disappointment, I have to tell myself that God has been TOO GOOD for me to be bitter. GOOD can come from this! My walk hasn't been easy, but it will be purposeful! My walk with God is much like a river's stream, I have to learn how to keep flowing despite the bumps, to get me to where I'm going.
The purpose of the fire was to cause me to emerge BETTER && The process came to reveal that my enemies are fallible. I WILL emerge from this GREATER! I embrace my individuality because self-worth comes from ONES thinking that THEY are worthy. I am MORE than a conquerer. Some people only wrote me off because they thought that where I WAS is where I'd BE, but TIME && CHANCE happen to us ALL. #Ecclesiastes 9:11. This process has taught me A LOT of things even if I am going through I'm also GROWING through. Life is about lessons not perfection.
Rejection can elevate you if you are determined to use it as a stepping stone && not see it as a stumbling block. I CHOOSE to WORSHIP JESUS no matter WHAT is happening i nmy life. My process is coming to an end now that I'm starting to SEE better. I thank God for this journey despite how much I went through because NOW, I SEE BETTER! ! The journey was for me to see, learn, && accept things that I NEVER would have, had God left me where I WAS. People want the promise but want to abort the process, however it's the process that prepares us for the promise.
NOTHING happens by accident. God is directing each one of my steps. I could not seek something better without BECOMING something better for MYSELF. I thank God for the miracles that have occurred in my life && I thank him for the ones that are yet to come. It's already DONE, so let it be!

Hi all
Im looking for software for a marketplace. Ultimately, what I want is a place where users can come and sell their merchandise and all payments are processed through the seller, not the site. I just want to house the marketplace. All transactions and communications are dealt with through the seller and buyer.
I was looking at Zen Cart, but not sure if its really what I need.

Developing appropriate keywords/search terms is an essential part of research. First, break your topic into components. Develop a list of synonyms and alternative terminology for each component. Think about broader and narrower concepts and word variants. What words can you exclude?
Topic: Image of African American Women in Advertising
image(s) or stereotyp(es)(ing) or depict(ion) or portray(al)...
african american(s) or black(s) or minorit(y)(ies)
women or gender
advertis(e)(ing) or media
Remember to be creative with your terminology! More examples:
people of color and environmental activism*
environmental justice
environmental justice and hazardous waste*
environmental equity
environmental discrimination
environmental racism
environmental injustice
Topic: Image of African American women in advertising
potentially relevant disciplines:
African American Studies
Gender and Women's Studies
Ethnic Studies
Media Studies
Search an article database to find citations (title, author, title of journal, date, page numbers) for articles on a particular topic. The Library gives you access to over 200 article databases covering different disciplines.
1. Think about which academic disciplines might write about your topic. Examples: literature, film, anthropology, history...
2. Find the appropriate article database by subject (academic discipline or department). Look for "Recommended" databases.
Library home > Articles > Article Databases by Subject
Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available. Each database is a bit different, but a good rule of thumb is this: when you see the Uc-eLinks icon click on it to view your article access options, which can range from full text to a call number to an Interlibrary Loan request:
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks.
Sample searches in CSA Illumina Social Sciences database (scholarly social science database)

keywords = searches most important parts of each item: title, abstract, descriptors (official subject terms)
phrase = 2 or more words that should be found together (ex: global warming)
truncation/wildcards: allows for variant word endings (child* = child, childs, childish, childhood, children...)
to find more: take out terms:

Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, organize and store your PDFs, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but all are easier than doing it by hand!
Tip: After creating a bibliography with a citation management tool, it's always good to double check the formatting; sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
Google Scholar is an easy way to do interdisciplinary research, and with some settings changes can become even more useful. You may need a Google account to use some of these features.
Open Scholar. Click on scholar preferences [upper right corner]. Under Library Links, enter the word Berkeley. Choose UC Berkeley eLinks and Open WorldCat - Library Search and Save your preferences. UC e-links will now appear in Google Scholar search results.
Do your search in Google Scholar. Look in the green toolbar for the envelope icon, and click it. New items will be sent to your email account as they are found by Google.
Do a Google Scholar search. Click on the "Cited by" link under a citation and select the "Search within articles citing..." checkbox.

Nice for the amateur, falls short for the pros
April 24, 2010
With a large capacity (33L according to DaKine; 29L according to Altrec), I figured this pack would be big enough to hold a variety of photo gear, as well as the 10 essentials to accompany me in the backcountry, but it fails to accommodate pro-sized bodies like the Canon 1D series or amateur bodies with the vertical grip attached. In addition to not being able to fit my camera bodies in the pack, its design carries a bulky feeling with their pack inside of a pack design. Having a bag within a bag severely decreases the cargo room for gear like food, water, extra clothing or survival gear while out hiking or riding. In this pack, it's all but impossible to store anything else. You can cram in a 15" laptop in the front compartment, but then your cargo room is taken up. While this pack is not right for me as a professional photographer, it would probably suit the weekend warrior just fine. It looks stylish, can hold a tripod externally, but does not have the deployable water compartment as advertised. Just a couple of tight side pockets. Load levelers, chest strap and generously padded waist strap make it a comfortable fit, but the lack of the ability to carry cameras with the vertical grip makes it a deal-breaker. I'll be returning it for something else. In the photo world, there's a fine line between comfort, cargo, and padding and with the bulky interior design of the Sequence, this pack's ability to fill the 29L capacity efficiently falls short for me.
Great Quality
December 16, 2009
The bag is exactly what I was looking for. It is replacing my current Canon backpack. The Dakine backpack is much larger and offers much more protection to the gear inside of it. I also like the removable block which will be perfect when I have my kid and his stroller with me.
Fantastic All Around
February 07, 2010
I have a Crumpler shoulder bag for regular use of my photographic equipment and I didn't want to get a mainstream (Lowepro/Tamrac etc.) backpack since they attract attention. I was about to purchase a regular Northface backpack and [cre-ate ]my own camera pack with inserts when I came across this bag on the internet and decided to give it a try. It was exactly what I was looking for!! First and foremost, I was very impressed with the quality and look of the bag. The pack is large and a bit heavy when empty, BUT essential for carrying and protecting a Nikon D700 w/ a 24-70 & 70-200 pro lens, flash and video camera while skiing. The removable camera block is a great feature if you take your camera to a restaurant or just walk around (apres skiing). Like I said, the bag is large and not a stylish accessory to lug into a nice restaurant or shop. Once the block is removed, the pack can also hold a tremendous amount of gear in the main compartment. The back of the pack has a firm and padded zip down opening that provides a good solid/comfortable feel across the back. VERY IMPORTANT for a long day of skiing!! One fantastic feature I loved: The bag seems to have an endless amount of straps and buckles all over (which itself is a fantastic feature). When you take the elastic band off each strap that came with the packaging (elastic band holds the extra length of the strap after the buckle), there are straps dangling off every inch of the pack and it looks like a huge/cluttered mess. **Here's the kicker** Almost every strap on the pack comes with a built in elastic band allowing you to tightly store the excess length of the strap once adjusted...maintaining a very clean and high quality look and feel to the bag. This is a must have camera bag for medium to large SLR camera's!!

Does anyone include standard squats and smith machine squats in there workouts?
I tried squats on the smith machine last week and the usual muscle aches are more intense in my thighs. After normal squats I tend to ache in my hamstrings.
If I was to include both techniques would it give me a better upper leg workout?
How low are you going on your squats? The problem with the smith is that it forces you into a fixed ROM which can cause problems. Your body needs to be able to move freely. If you're not going to parallel or lower, you're not gonna get the full benefit of the exercise. Just my $.02.
The Smith machine isn't a good idea. As Nixxta said, it forced you into a fixed ROM. This results in weaker stabilizers and can caused back injuries. I don't think there is ever a good reason to use the smith machine.
I put my feet forward in the stance and leant back on the bar, this meant my back stayed straight and felt less pressure on my lower back and knees. I was able to go to parallel or more with the same amount of weight as the normal squat.
It was probably more like a hacksquat.
Squats in the smith machine will destroy your knees. When you squat the bar will not move in a perfectly vertical line perpendicular to the floor. Forcing yourself into this un-natural movement with any significant amount of weight on your back is a BAD idea.
Also, what are your set/reps like when doing squats? Besides going to parallel or lower, you need to make sure you're being challenged with the weight. The only person who will know this is you. If you're doing 5x5 or 3x6-8 with some decent weight, you should feel it.
my gym doesnt have a sqauat rack. are smith mahines etter 2 use then nothing? BTW i can get as low as neesary wiith it.
Ask management about a squat rack... If they don't see a need for one, find another gym. This sounds sarcastic but I'm serious. I know it isn't realistic for everyone, but where I'm at there's a few not too far from me.
If not, shoulder up some heavy dumb bells or clean the bar and do front squats. There's hack squats too, but I haven't done these myself so I can't comment too much on them.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

CATEGORIES MoviesSergei Eisenstein reportedly called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" the greatest movie ever made. That's especially high praise coming from the director who virtually invented avant-garde cinema, but it's hard to argue with Walt Disney's landmark achievement. The first feature-length animated movie, "Snow White" began its record-breaking run in theaters 75 years ago this week (on Feb. 4, 1938), and it was hailed immediately, both for its instant impact in transforming the medium and for what proved to be an enduring work of screen storytelling and vivid artistry.
Before "Snow White," animation was widely dismissed as crudely drawn short films with singing and talking animals, strictly for kids. But Disney proved animation could work at feature length and yield results as artistically satisfying as live-action film. Today, "Snow White" stands as the template for virtually every animated feature made since, as well as the cornerstone of all the Disney family-entertainment empire has built over the past 75 years. Plus, it still holds up as a movie, fully immersing viewers young and old in a fairytale forest of terror and delight.
As familiar as "Snow White" is to the generations who've grown up with it as part of their moviegoing DNA, there may still be plenty you don't know about the movie -- the real-life performers who inspired its characters, the technical innovations it popularized, its fraught production history, or its occasionally rocky pop-culture afterlife. Here, then, are 25 things you may not have known about the Disney classic. Whistle while you read.
1. Walt Disney's plan for the first feature-length animated film was in some ways even more ambitious than what he actually did: a live-action/animation hybrid of "Alice in Wonderland" with Mary Pickford as Alice wandering through an animated universe. (It would be another decade and a half before Disney would release an animated feature version of "Alice.")
2. Disney ultimately chose the fairytale of Snow White for his first animated feature because he recognized that the dwarfs would make great cartoon characters and that the forest setting would be a natural opportunity to animate a variety of "appealing little birds and animals." He also had vivid memories of the 1916 live-action silent version of "Snow White," one of the first movies he ever saw.
3. In 1934, he made a Silly Symphony cartoon short called "The Goddess of Spring," a version of the Persephone myth, whose human-figure heroine and woodland setting made the film essentially a test reel for "Snow White."
4. Tween star Deanna Durbin auditioned for the role of Snow White, but Disney reportedly found her voice too mature. The role ultimately went to 19-year-old Adriana Caselotti, the daughter of Guido Caselotti, a Los Angeles vocal coach, and Maria Orefice, an opera singer. She reportedly earned $970 for her voice work on the movie.
5. The film's production took nearly five years. It took at least 570 crew members (some sources say 750), most of them animators or water-color artists. As many as 2 million sketches and paintings were created, though only about 166,000 of them can be seen in the finished film.
6. Dancer Marge Champion (then known as Marge Belcher) was the movement model for Snow White's animators to study, and her dance partner Louis Hightower provided the same service for the prince.
7. The picture marked the first major use of a Disney technical innovation, the multi-plane camera, which gave the animation the illusion of depth by allowing three to seven cels to be photographed in the same frame. It also allowed the foregrounds and backgrounds to be kept in proportion as the camera angle changed. Disney had used the device once before, on 1937's Oscar-winning cartoon short "The Old Mill," but with "Snow White," it became a key tool for studios making animated features.
8. If the voices of Sleepy and Grumpy sound familiar, it's because they both belong to Pinto Colvig, the longtime voice actor behind Disney's Goofy.
9. Rejected dwarf names: Awful, Biggy, Blabby, Dirty, Gabby, Gaspy, Gloomy, Hoppy, Hotsy, Jaunty, Jumpy, Nifty, and Shifty.
10. Sneezy was inspired by Billy Gilbert, the comic actor who voiced him, whose professional trademark was comic fits of sneezing.
11. Dopey was initially conceived as a speaking character, but when the casting team could find no suitable actor to play him, the character was rewritten as mute.
12. The wicked queen was drawn to resemble the vengeful character played by Lucille La Verne in 1935's "A Tale of Two Cities," and La Verne herself was hired to voice the queen.
13. Several scenes were planned but never fully animated. They included a scene where the wicked queen holds the prince captive in her dungeon and makes skeletons dance before him; a reprise of "Some Day My Prince Will Come" in which Snow White imagines dancing with her prince up in the clouds below an ocean of stars; and a song called "Music in Your Soup" with the dwarfs warbling an ode to the supper Snow White has just cooked for them.
14. Frank Churchill and Larry Morey composed some 25 songs for the film, though only seven were used in the final picture.
15. The movie is believed to be the first to include its own soundtrack album. "Music in Your Soup" and another song cut from the film, "You're Never Too Old to Be Young," both appeared on a subsequent album, "The Seven Dwarfs and Their Diamond Mine." The dwarfs' yodeling song appeared on yet another album, one that included a new dance number, "Doin' the Dopey."
16. The movie's supervising director was David Hand, an animator who went on to make Disney's "Bambi," but he's never received the credit he was due, perhaps because Walt Disney himself maintained final cut, a right he exercised often and ruthlessly over any footage he felt wasn't advancing the story. At one time, Disney reportedly scrapped six months' worth of finished footage because he thought it looked too crude. The completed film would clock in at a lean 83 minutes.
17. Disney had initially budgeted the film between $150,000 and $250,000, but the final cost came to nearly $1.5 million. It cost about four times as much per foot of film ($200) as one of the studio's Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts (about $50 to $75). Hollywood insiders at the time reportedly described the project as "Disney's Folly."
18. The movie premiered in Los Angeles on December 21, 1937 (an event attended by Hollywood royalty from Marlene Dietrich to Donald Duck) but didn't gain wide release across the country until February 4, 1938. The film grossed $8.5 million during its initial release, making it the biggest moneymaker in Hollywood history until "Gone With the Wind" blew the record away in 1939. Disney invested the movie's profits in the construction of the Burbank production facility that Walt Disney Studios occupies to this day.
19. Academy voters nominated "Snow White" for just one award, Best Musical Score, but the film won a special achievement prize at the 1939 Academy Awards. Walt Disney was given one full-size trophy and seven smaller ones, handed out by 10-year-old presenter Shirley Temple.
20. The film set the plot formula for the Disney studio's cartoon features for decades to come. There's a happy princess (or would-be princess), a handsome but dull leading man, an absent parent or two, a jealous villainess, at least one comic-relief animal, some catchy songs, and a happily-ever-after ending. It was a formula that informed such Disney toons as "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "The Little Mermaid," and with minor modifications, "The Sword in the Stone," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King."
21. In fact, the formula was so durable that the Disney studio finally felt secure enough to spoof it in 2007's "Enchanted." Amy Adams' performance as the chirpy, animal-loving, cheerfully housecleaning princess owes a huge and obvious debt to Caselotti's warbling turn as Snow White.
22. Walt Disney Pictures has re-released "Snow White" in theaters at least nine times, most recently in 1993. Over the years, it has earned some $185 million in theaters; adjusted for inflation, that makes it the tenth highest-grossing movie of all time.
23. The wicked queen made a memorable brief appearance in an animated fantasy sequence in Woody Allen's 1977 romance "Annie Hall." That is, she looks like the evil monarch, but she has the voice of Annie (Diane Keaton).
24. Snow White was part of one of the most notorious moments in the history of the Academy Awards. At the 1989 ceremony, Rob Lowe joined with a singer (Eileen Bowman) dressed as Snow White for a duet of "Proud Mary," a number generally considered the worst musical performance in Oscar history. Within days, the Disney company filed a lawsuit over the unauthorized use of the character but dropped the suit a week later after the Academy apologized.
25. 2012 saw two live-action "Snow White" adaptations on the big screen, the tongue-in-cheek "Mirror Mirror" and the darker "Snow White and the Huntsman." (Only the latter, starring Kristen Stewart, was a hit.) The previous fall saw the debut on Disney's ABC television network of "Once Upon a Time," the weekly drama series in which Snow White, Prince Charming, the wicked queen, the dwarfs, and other fairytale characters find themselves trapped by a curse in a modern-day Maine hamlet, with little or no memory of their magical pasts.
