Declining mortgage interest rates helped boost builders' confidence in the market for new single-family homes this month, according to the latest National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). The HMI rose to 71 in August, up four points from July's revised number and equal to its year-ago level.
"Long-term mortgage rates fell to 6.05 percent in July, from 6.29 percent the previous month, then continued to fall in the beginning of August," said NAHB President Bobby Rayburn. "This undoubtedly helped push builder optimism to its highest level since October of 2003 as potential buyers who might have been sitting it out started diving back into the market when rates headed downward. With the ongoing favorable financing climate and solid house-price performance, we have good reason to expect continued strength in the housing market in the months ahead."
The NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI is derived from a monthly survey of builders that NAHB has been conducting for almost 20 years. Home builders are asked to rate current sales of single-family homes as "good," "fair," or "poor." They are also asked to rate traffic of prospective buyers as "high to very high, "average," or "low to very low." Scores for responses to each component are used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index, where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view sales conditions as good than poor.
All three component indexes registered gains in August. The index gauging current single-family home sales rose two points to 76 -- its highest level since the 77 registered in April of this year. The index gauging sales expectations for the next 6 months rose four points to 78 -- its highest level since November of 2003, when it hit 81. And most impressively, the index gauging traffic of prospective buyers rose six points to its second-highest level in history, 57. This was just three points away from the traffic component's record 60 reading taken in May of 1999.

Stop the Spending? Why GCC leadership needs to peg public spending to oil
The GCC needs to peg its public spending firmly to oil prices in order to avoid endangering the fiscal equilibrium, an expert has warned.
"With respect to the oil rich GCC countries, one has to recall that after the growth revival ignited by the oil price increase of 2010-2011, public spending added to the growth momentum," said Paul Wetterwald, chief economist, Crédit Agricole Private Banking.
"This government support has to rely on firm oil prices if one does not want to endanger the fiscal and/or external equilibriums."
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are safe with the current oil prices but Bahrain might not be able to achieve a fiscal surplus at the current rate.
The latest research report from Crédit Agricole indicated that GCC countries are primed for strong growth in the coming years supported by budget surpluses resulting from high oil prices.
"The hydrocarbon-based GCC economies displayed GDP increases high enough to define these countries as a pocket of above average growth," said Wetterwald.
"On the other hand, some improvements were spotted in countries where the activity had been deeply disturbed by the Arab Spring-like uprising."
But these countries also stand a risk of inflation, the report said.
"There is a link between growth and inflation, but the answer is not yet affirmative as to whether countries with the highest growth are the most prone to inflation," said Wetterwald.
"Iran tops the inflation league, followed by Egypt, Yemen, Turkey, Syria, Bahrain, Libya, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Morocco, UAE, Oman, and finally Algeria. This suggests that inflation tends to go hand in hand with social instability.
"One is tempted to assume that the rise in consumer prices ignite protests, generating a vicious circle where logistic issues stemming from large scale protests add to inflation," he said.

Animals rescued from flooded RSPCA centre
A number of cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens had to be moved to safety today when the RSPCA centre at Leybourne flooded.
Staff were alerted in the early hours and began evacuating the centre. Many of the animals were moved to the education room when much of the centre became surrounded by flood water. The worst affected part of the centre is the cattery.

Riga, Latvia
Who does not like dresses a-la 60ties with tight bodice and full skirt? I'm one of those who can look at them all-day-long.
Soon my grandma's stash will be empty, but still, there are some fabrics waiting to be used on a nice project. This farbic in particular required to be made into a nice dress.
I love the print of the fabric as well as lining. The funny thing about the farbic is that it is wool which means that the dress should be worn not exactly in the hottest summer, but rather in a bit chilly weather, otherwise it feels very sweaty. The lining is a very light-weight polyester and it balances out the weight of the main fabric.
Wool, polyester lining.

PARAMUS, N.J. – The PGA Tour has a longstanding policy which states that officials won't comment on punitive measures toward players.
Dustin Johnson's leave of absence from the PGA Tour doesn't seem to be keeping him off the golf course.
Welcome to the latest chapter in the ongoing saga of Dustin Johnson. (You can probably expect many more of these.)
Dustin Johnson is not at this week's PGA Championship at Valhalla, but he's also not where you might expect.

As a resident of Hanover, and mother of two students, one at Elkridge Elementary and one at Howard High School, Kornreich said she has seen the effects of the overcrowding in the region. She said more foresight is needed on the part of the board and the school system.
"You can only put so many students in a building and make it manageable," she said. "Route 1 used to be the only issue, but overcrowding is reaching across the county."
Increasing technology and easing overcrowding would also have an impact on achievement, Kornreich said.
"Overcrowding, increasing class size, impedes the ability of teachers to differentiate instruction," she said. "And one of the big answers to the multifaceted question of achievement is using technology to personalize education. If each student is allowed to learn on their own and at their own pace, they'll succeed more."
Mary Jo Neil
50, West Friendship, former board of directors for National PTA, former bylaws and policy chairwoman for National PTA, former Maryland Parent Advisory Council member, Maryland Alliance for Family Involvement in Education co-founder
Ensuring community input is heard and focusing the educational system on the child are the two main concerns of Mary Jo Neil's campaign.
She believes she knows how to help accomplish both.
"If there's an issue, let's find out what the community thinks, but let's look across the country, too," Neil said. "Let's find out what's worked. Tap into these resources that are there. And I have those resources in my background, and a desire to incorporate parent and community involvement at the decision-making level."
No one knows a child better than their own parent, Neil said, so parents should be involved in creating a more individualized learning system.
"Kids all have their own motivations, and working with them and their parents to find that motivation and encourage them, their skill levels and strengths, that will work," she said.
It's hard to accept, that students are graduating from Howard County schools and then being forced to take remediation classes at college, Neil said. Schools should offer a wide range of opportunities while still providing a strong core foundation, she said.
"Whatever grade you're at, get through it and get through it well so you'll be comfortable and have a strong foundation for the next year," she said. "It's about encouraging teachers and working with them to encourage them to find new ways to reach kids."
All students, she said, need a solid foundation — especially the ones "in the middle," not in special needs or gifted and talented students.
"Some students struggle," she said. "We need to find a way to reach the students to help them believe in themselves."

45, Columbia, Atholton High School and Clemens Crossing Middle School PTAs, founding member of Thurgood Marshall Democratic Club of Howard County, Health Law and Policy instructor at Georgetown University Law Center, Business Leadership and Organizational Development Instructor at Nyack College
Jackie Scott is running for the Board of Education on a platform of access, accountability and achievement.
The factors needed for all three to happen, Scott said, include discourse with the community and parental involvement.
"There should be a call for accountability at every level of the school system," Scott said. "From the board, staff, teachers, parents and students."

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement an upload process indicator for an image upload via UMTS. Unfortunately this does not work, as the GetNextDataPart() of my data supplier is called only once, even though I return EFalse.
iPostData is not deleted during the transaction - I tried the same with a dummy function:Code:TBool CClientEngine::GetNextDataPart(TPtrC8& aDataPart) { TBool lastBuffer=ETrue; if(iPostData) { TInt totalSize=iPostData->Length(); TInt sentSize=iCurrentChunk*iChunkSize; TInt chunkSize=totalSize-sentSize; if (chunkSize>iChunkSize) { chunkSize=iChunkSize; lastBuffer=EFalse; } else lastBuffer=ETrue; if (iChunkData) delete iChunkData; iChunkData=HBufC8::NewL(chunkSize); ChunkData->Des().Copy(iPostData->Des().Ptr()+sentSize,chunkSize); aDataPart.Set(iChunkData->Des()); iCurrentChunk++; } return lastBuffer; }
even here, the funcion is called only once and iCurrentChunk equals 1 all the time. The only way to finish my upload is to do it in one chunk only - if i set the chunk to iPostData so that aDataPart.Length equals OverallDataSize the transaction completes, EVEN THOUGH I still return EFalse. Anyone eyperienced the same or got any hints?Code:TBool CClientEngine::GetNextDataPart(TPtrC8& aDataPart) { TInt chunkSize=10; if (iChunkData) delete iChunkData; iChunkData=HBufC8::NewL(chunkSize); aDataPart.Set(iChunkData->Des()); iCurrentChunk++; return EFalse; }
Thanks to all of you,

Mance Lipscomb Radio
Like Leadbelly and Mississippi John Hurt, the designation as strictly a blues singer dwarfs the musical breadth of Mance Lipscomb. Born on April 9, 1895 in Navasota, TX, Lipscomb was a sharecropper/tenant farmer all his life who didn't record until 1960, "songster" fits what Lipscomb did best. A proud, yet unboastful man, Lipscomb would point out that he was an educated musician, his ability to play everything from classic blues, ballads, pop songs to spirituals in a multitude of styles and keys being his particular mark of originality. He appeared at numerous blues and folk festivals throughout the '60s, released several albums on Arhoolie and even one for a major label, Reprise, in 1970, Trouble in Mind. Four years later, Lipscomb retired from the festival circuit and passed away on January 30, 1976 in his hometown of Navasota, TX. He was 81. With a wide-ranging repertoire of over 90 songs, Lipscomb may have gotten a belated start in recording, but left a remarkable legacy to be enjoyed. ~ Cub Koda & Al CampbellPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

CT Breach Notification Case Proves HITECH's Worth
Dawn McDaniel, a spokesperson for the Connecticut Insurance Department, told HealthLeaders Media in an e-mail that the bulletin is in response to "some recent data breaches, which were not reported in what we believe to be a timely manner."
Though neither OCR nor Connecticut officials would say that the breach notification change in Connecticut is a direct effect of HITECH, OCR did praise Blumenthal's actions. In an e-mail to HealthLeaders Media, an OCR spokesperson called it an illustration of the strong partnership between federal and state regulators envisioned in the HITECH act.
"The Office for Civil Rights at HHS views the actions of the Connecticut state attorney general in the Health Net matter as demonstrating the effective federal-state partnership to HIPAA compliance as envisioned by the HITECH Act," he wrote. "These actions can provide greater protections for the residents of Connecticut, and serve to stimulate a more robust culture of compliance among organizations responsible for protected health information."
The spokesman called the actual breach notification changes in Connecticut a matter "within state jurisdiction and— independent of new HITECH authorities and HIPAA requirements."
Technically, yes. But it's hard to argue that the changes are not at least a residual effect of a HITECH-granted power.

Insanely simple and impossibly popular, Bape shoes from A Bathing Ape are shrouded in mystery, easy to spot, hard to buy, and more in-demand than ever.
The following information will help acquaint newcomers to the world of A Bathing Ape, and includes links to sites that sell authentic Bape Sta shoes, as well as other Bathing Ape clothes and merchandise.
A Bathing Ape Terms to Know:
A Bathing Ape: The company's name is derived from the Japanese expression for trend-following youth, "bathing in lukewarm water."
Bape: Pronounced "bayp" (rhymes with "tape"), Bape is the nickname for A Bathing Ape. "Bapes" refers to Bathing Ape shoes, e.g. "Has anyone seen my Bapes?"
Bape Sta: The official name of Bathing Ape's popular athletic shoes, also called "Bapesta."
Fapes: Street term for fake of counterfeit Bapes.
- Busy Work Shop: This is the name of A Bathing Apes retail locations.
What Are Bapes:
Bapes is the nickname for the Bape Sta, an athletic-styled shoe from the Japanese company A Bathing Ape. The term "Bape" is used as a nickname for A Bathing Ape.
Who Created Bapes:
The Bape "Sta" shoes were an addition to the already successful Bathing Ape clothing line, created by Tokyo designer and company founder Nigo (pronounced "nee-go").
Who Wears A Bathing Ape:
Bape Stas were originally hottest amongst the hip and trendsetting Street Fashion youth of Japan.
Thanks in part to celebrities like super-producer Pharrell Williams and Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden donning the label, Bathing Ape has become increasingly popular in the U.S. as well.
The Bathing Ape Brand:
It started in 1993 with t-shirts, but this "underground" brand name is now mainstream enough to be found on a toy line, cafe, hair salon and record label, in addition to its ever-expanding line of hoodies, shirts and shoes.
Where to Buy Authentic Bape Shoes:
Of course, the best place to buy Bathing Ape products is at one of their Busy Work Shop retail outlets, or at a licensed retailer.
But if you don't happen to live in a major city and don't mind paying a bit more for them, you may want to check out the following web sites. They have a reputation for selling authentic products, but be sure to check their return policies before buying.
A Word About Fapes (Fake Bapes):
Due to the hefty price tag and because the shoes are so hard to get, there are a plethora of fakes out there. These counterfeit shoes are known as FAPEs, which is short for "Fake Bapes." If you want authentic Bape shoes, you should only purchase them from a trusted retailer. You can learn more about spotting fake bapes at the Sole Collection Forums.
Official Web Site for A Bathing Ape:
In line with their limited-edition, exclusive, keeping them in demand approach to marketing, the official Bathing Ape web site can not be viewed in your browser. Upon visiting the site, you must execute a download to actually get any information.

Scottish Government commits to new Living Wage
The Scottish Government has renewed its commitment to the Living Wage after the rate was increased from £7.20 to £7.45.
The requirement to pay the Living Wage was introduced in the Scottish Government's pay policy in 2011-12 and the new rate will apply from April next year.
– Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney
We fully support the principles of the Living Wage Campaign, which encourages all employers to reward their staff fairly. That is why the commitment to pay the Living Wage is part of the Scottish Government's public sector pay policy for the third year running.
The Scottish Government has control over the pay for most civil servants in central government, government agencies, non-departmental public bodies and the NHS.

PLAYERS: Jamey Carroll
TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians
TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians
The Kansas City Royals are not against making moves this late in the season if it will help them stay in contention for a postseason berth. They are looking not only to finish above .500 for the first time since 2003, but to make the playoffs for the first time since 1985. In that vain, they acquired Jamey Carrol from the Minnesota Twins yesterday. The #Royals have acquired infielder Jamey Carroll from the Twins in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named. — Kansas City Royals (@Royals) August 11, 2013 While the move to land Carroll is not a blockbuster, it give the Royals more depth without them having to give up much of anything. Carroll is a veteran, and he can bring a lot to the table for Kansas City. Specifically, he can be used virtually anywhere on the infield. The Twins had been using him primarily at third base. Carroll's offensive numbers this year are nothing to get excited about, but he has been a 17.2 WAR player in his career. Unfortunately, he has account for -0.5 WAR with the Twins this season. The Royals hope that will turn around when he begins play with them. Carroll is hitting .230/.284/.262. He is playing in his 12th Major League season Obviously as time has gone by, Carroll's skills have diminished, but he was a good player in his career. Overall, he is a .274/.351/.340 hitter. If he can recapture any of that lost magic and get on base frequently for the Royals, the trade will be a success. Kansas City is 61-54. They are 7.5 games behind the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central, but they are only 4.5 games out of a Wild Card berth. In both cases, they will have to leap frog teams including the Cleveland Indians. Carroll's addition may help them do that. Follow @mlbinjurynews Looking for fantasy baseball advice?

Gunblade NY & L.A. Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack (Wii) review
"With Sega releasing a light-gun title on the Wii at nearly a yearly rate, you'd think a Virtua Cop collection would be inevitable. Instead, Wii owners get blindsided by one of the most unexpected releases ever: Gunblade NY and L.A. Machineguns on one disc."
Community review by pickhut (June 11, 2011)
At first, PickHut thought the x-ray kills in V2, while cool, felt a little cartoony. Then he saw the x-ray kills in Sniper Elite III...

They are murderers, rapists, torturers, and enslavers, and they have no right to be part of our social and political life. The best that I can offer the Cylon is neutrality; we return to the state of disengagement that existed prior to the breaking of the peace. The Cylon can go there way in peace, and we can go ours.-- From "Why Tom Zarek Was Right", a Letter to the Editor from "Concerned Colonial Citizen". If you are not up-to-date on the saga, the above will contain massive spoilers (as will this thread). Fortunately, hulu.com not only has all the as-yet aired Season 4.5 episodes, but also each episode Enhanced with series executive producer Ronald Moore's revealing audio commentary.
Insensitive statement that it may be, I have to say that I won't miss the quorum. Their demise will have the benefit to give Adama/Roslyn a freer hand. Not that it will necessarily by better. Roslyn and Adama are not perfect. But at least there will a bit more cohesion in the fleet leadership.and partially because of how manipulative some scenes from the last episode were in order to demarcate evil and good. For fuck's sake, Racetrack was laughing at Zarek's jokes while our apparent heroes scowl in the hangar deck about what to do next. And of course there's the aforementioned Anti-Mutiny Flash Mob. I felt like the writers pulled every trick in the book to get me to side with Adama and Roslin.

Basketball teams battle A-Sun competitors tonight
ETSU's men's and women's basketball teams will take on Atlantic Sun rivals tonight. The women will play Florida Gulf Coast at home, while the men will travel to Northern Kentucky University.
Women vs. FGCU
After snapping a two-game skid with a 72-57 victory over the North Florida Ospreys on Saturday, Feb. 1, the ETSU women's basketball team will look to continue the momentum when it welcomes the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center.
Competing undermanned for the second-straight game, the ETSU women's basketball team outmatched the North Florida Ospreys behind a dominant second half as the Bucs soared past the Ospreys, 72-57, inside UNF Arena.
The Bucs fell behind by as many as nine points early in the first half, but fought back to close the deficit to 36-32 at halftime.
To start the second period, the Blue and Gold put the pedal to the metal and never looked back. ETSU scored the first eight points of the half, to take the lead, and manufactured an 18-2 run to take control of the contest.
Increasing their lead to as many as 17 points with two minutes to play, the Bucs cruised to a 72-57 victory.
Serena Clark notched her second-consecutive double, and eighth of the season, with 20 points and eleven rebounds.
Forced into increased minutes due to ETSU's current lack of depth, freshman Jasmine Hotchkins played a career-high 28 minutes, which featured a career-best 12 points including a perfect 4-of-4 from behind the arc.
ETSU (7-13, 3-6) and Florida Gulf Coast (14-7, 8-1) will square off Thursday in the 14th all-time meeting between the two schools; a series that FGCU leads, 11-2.
The Bucs have fallen short in nine-straight meetings against the Eagles with the most recent matchup being a 73-58 loss earlier this season, on Jan. 9, inside Alico Arena.
Men vs. NKU
As the ETSU men's basketball team continues with Atlantic Sun Conference play Thursday night at Northern Kentucky, the Buccaneers hope to keep building on its recent success.
The Bucs (12-11 overall, 5-5 in A-Sun play) are winners of three of their last four games as they prepare to take on the Norse (8-15, 4-7) at 7 p.m. inside the Bank of Kentucky Center. Since welcoming NKU into the Atlantic Sun Conference last season, ETSU is 2-1 against the Norse, which includes a victory earlier this season inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

November 24, 2013
Such a cute boutique spa!
I found Marilee on Spa Finder. I love her attention to detail. Her extractions are thorough and my skin was bright glowing and felt light and clean after she was done. She made me feel very comfortable and was knowledgable. I will defiantly be back on a monthly routine because I have seen results and changes in my skin.

The market for e-mail management software will reach $2 billion by 2007, spurred by escalating customer e-mail messages, says researchers Frost & Sullivan.
The market for e-mail management software will reach $2 billion by 2007, spurred by escalating customer e-mail messages, says a report from San Antonio, TX-based researchers Frost & Sullivan.
"The dramatic growth rates in the e-mail management software market can be explained by the fact that the technology is an effective solution to a pressing customer service need," says Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Katrina Howell. "Companies are able to assign a fraction of the agents that would otherwise be required to respond to e-mail volumes reaching into the thousands."
The only solution besides applying management technology is to hire more customer service agents, Frost and Sullivan says.
The backlog of e-mail accumulated during any given day has caused customer care centers to ask employees to stay overtime. Some companies even have e-mail parties at night and on weekends where employees struggle to respond to the customer queries, says Frost & Sullivan's new report, "U.S. E-mail Management Systems." Frost & Sullivan also reports that more companies are aware of the consequences of delaying a response to customer e-mail inquiries. Studies have revealed that the number one complaint of online customers is the failure of a company to respond to an e-mail message within three hours, the report says.
"Within the space of a few years, e-mail has become one of the most common forms of customer communication," says Howell. "This has transformed e-mail into a severe pain point for numerous businesses, giving rise to the pressing need to adopt e-mail response management systems."

Auburn University's new men's basketball head coach went shirtless on campus today and all for a good cause.
Bruce Pearl participated in AU's Pi Kappa Phi fraternity dunk tank fundraiser to raise money for Push America, a nonprofit organization aimed at serving people with disabilities.
Pearl says it's all about charity, and it's important for faculty and staff to participate in student run events.
"We're going to ask students to come out and watch our team play and support and maybe travel with us," Pearl said. "So I can't ask them to engage in our program if I'm not willing to engage in their program. That's really what it is all about and it is fun. These are probably some of the things I missed about coaching as anything."
Students paid $2 to dunk Pearl. By the end of it, students were paying $10 to push the button for an automatic dunk.

Associated Press
Updated: Dec 3, 2012 6:44 PM
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — State Comptroller Kevin Lembo on Monday released a new state budget deficit projection of $415 million, an estimate $50 million higher than Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget office is predicting.
Lembo said the difference between his deficit projection for the fiscal year that ends next June and the one issued by the state Office of Policy and Management is the result of different estimates of higher education spending. Officials said much of the deficit in this year's $20 billion budget is due to higher-than-expected Medicaid costs.
Lembo also sent a letter to Malloy on Monday saying the deficit exceeds 1 percent of total general fund appropriations, a benchmark that requires the governor to submit a deficit-reduction plan to lawmakers within 30 days.
Malloy last week announced $170 million in spending cuts across state agencies and is putting together a plan to deal with the rest of the deficit. State lawmakers are expected to take up the shortfall during a special session at the end of the month.
"Projected state spending above budgeted levels and the slow pace of national economic recovery are impeding the state's ability to bring the budget into balance," Lembo said in a statement. "Economic indicators are below the levels normally observed at this stage of a recovery."
Three weeks ago, Malloy's budget director, OPM Secretary Benjamin Barnes, confirmed a $365 million deficit. He attributed it to the lackluster national and regional economies, years of deferring Connecticut's long-term liabilities such as pension costs and a fast-growing demand for public services such as Medicaid health care coverage.
Malloy senior adviser Roy Occhiogrosso said Monday that administration officials disagree with Lembo's estimate.
"However, the governor, comptroller and it seems legislators all agree there is a current year shortfall that needs to be addressed before the end of the calendar year," Occhiogrosso said. "The deficit mitigation plan the governor will propose within the next couple of weeks will, based on the best available data at the time, bring the current year budget into balance."

(April 28) -- A laboratory test of lettuce sold in California found that one in five samples contained percholorate, a toxic rocket-fuel ingredient that has polluted the Colorado River. Water from that river is used to grow much of the nation's winter vegetables. What should consumers be concerned about?
It's no exaggeration to say, the Colorado River is the lifeblood of our southwest region. The Colorado flows into Lake Mead at Hoover Dam, then flows out along the border of Arizona and California into Mexico. Colorado River water is diverted to irrigate tens of thousands of acres of farmland in California's Imperial Valley. The produce grown on that land is shipped to grocery stores throughout southern Nevada and the rest of the country.
Now, a new test shows that Colorado River water, which is being contaminated by a rocket fuel ingredient in southern Nevada, may be contaminating fresh vegetables.
The specific vegetable in question is lettuce. Not just heads of lettuce but mixed greens too including organic.
It is certainly a surprise to consumers. We have long known about pesticides being used to grow fruits and vegetables but this new study found something far more dangerous -- a chemical called perchlorate.
The Environmental Working Group tested 22 un-named, types of lettuce from California: heads of iceberg lettuce, romaine--even bags of mixed greens. It found 4 of the 22 samples -- or 18 % -- had measurable levels of perchlorate--a common ingredient in rocket fuel. Renee Sharp with the Environmental Research Group says, "Any average serving of these contaminated samples contained more than four times perchlorate than the EPA says is safe in a liter of drinking water."
Though our lettuce comes from California, the Environmental Working Group says Southern Nevada is where the real problem is--specifically here at Lake Mead and along the Colorado River, where perchlorate is in the water.
That water flows directly to the Colorado River and is used to irrigate the farms in California.
Though health officials have long known of perchlorate's existence in our water supply, they have little experience with perchlorate in our food.
According to Steven Goode with the Clark County Health District "We're unsure of exactly what the true impact of this is." Steven Goode is the environmental health manager at the Clark County Health District. He says no government food alerts for lettuce have been issued, which means it will not be pulled from stores shelves. If any tainted lettuce is in southern Nevada Goode says there's no way to clean it: "Lettuce, for instance, has a high, high concentration of water. It's primarily water. There isn't anything that you can do to wash it off."
Although you can't wash it Goode says, at this point, it is still likely safe to eat and that the long-term health benefits of eating lettuce outweigh any short-term threats until further studies can be done. Those tests will be conducted by the Food and Drug Administration. I spoke to a representative in Washington today and he said a test with only 22 samples of lettuce isn't big enough to warrant a food alert. The FDA will conduct a large-scale study in the near future.
Is there any concern perchlorate could wind up in fruits and other vegetables? Absolutely, that is a big concern. But at this point, the only test we know of has been conducted on lettuce. And since lettuce is nearly all water it is thought to be a more likely host of perchlorate, since perchlorate is in our water supply.
Perchlorate is a chemical used to make rocket fuel. It can affect thyroid function, which regulates metabolism and growth. Because of that, pregnant women--especially their babies--are more vulnerable. In infants and children, contamination can lead to lowered IQ, mental retardation, and loss of hearing or speech.

How Best to Auction Natural Resources
AbstractI study the design of auctions of natural resources, such as oil or mineral rights. A good auction design promotes both an efficient assignment of rights and competitive revenues for the seller. The structure of bidder preferences and the degree of competition are key factors in determining the best design. With weak competition and simple value structures, a simultaneous first-price sealed-bid auction may suffice. With more complex value structures, a dynamic auction with package bids likely is needed to promote efficiency and revenue objectives. Bidding on production shares, rather than bonuses, typically increases government take by reducing oil or mining company risk.

Purchase Alcatraz Tickets in Advance
Tickets for Alcatraz frequently sell out in advance, especially around holidays and weekends. Night tour tickets sell out even sooner, as much as a month or more in advance. Order your tickets up to 90 days in advance to avoid disappointment. More »
Pets are not permitted on Alcatraz Island, only trained service animals are allowed on the ferry and the island. Under current disability rights regulations "emotional support animals" are not allowed as they are not specifically trained to perform a task in support of a person with a disability.
Did You Know?
The abundant plant life found on Alcatraz today is not quite "natural" – originally the island was a barren, wind swept, bird guano covered piece of sandstone rock. Soil and plants were introduced by the U.S. Army as they built the first U.S. fort on the West Coast, beginning in the 1850s.

Following his address at the Rodon Group manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania at the end of November, President Barack Obama continued his campaign for a fiscal cliff solution today at a Detroit truck engine plant.
In Pennsylvania, the president outlined his view of a successful fiscal cliff compromise: extending the middle class tax cuts and allowing tax breaks for those making more than $250,000 a year to lapse.
"Just the other day, Congress said if income taxes go up on the middle class, people will spend nearly $200 billion less in stores and online," the president said at the Rodon K'NEX facility. "That's not good for our businesses. Congress can pass a law that would prevent a tax hike for 98 percent of Americans, and 97 percent of small businesses wouldn't see their taxes go up by a single dime, because 97 percent of small businesses make $250,000 or less [annually]."
The president added, "We need champions for American industry."
During his visit to the Detroit Diesel Corp. facility, Obama revealed that parent company Daimler would be investing $120 million to build a production facility for axles and transmissions, resulting in 115 new jobs for the struggling Detroit job market.
President Obama: Today, Daimler is announcing a new $120 million investment…creating 115 good, new union jobs…right here in Redford.
— White House Live (@WHLive) December 10, 2012
"Daimler Trucks North America will become the first heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer in North America to offer a fully integrated powertrain from one production facility," Detroit-area ABC affiliate WXYZ said.
Congress and the White House have just 21 days until the first deadlines of the fiscal cliff.


text: 02 August 2013 Wolf Weekly Wrap-up Posted by: Defenders of Wildlife | 2 comments | Share: Wolves Benefit Bears The science continues to reinforce it: the return of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, after an absence of about 70 years, has had a slew of benefits for all kinds of other species, including beavers and willows, and now we can add grizzly bears (another threatened species) to the list. A new study shows that having more wolves in Yellowstone has increased an important food source for grizzly bear: berries. Grizzly bear, ©Michael S. Quinton, National Geographic stock When wolves disappeared from the region, the area's elk herds grew dramatically. Elk eat some of the same plants that bears rely on for berries, and with so many more elk in the park, most of those plants were over-foraged, leaving little to nothing left over for bears. Since wolves were reintroduced and began to prey on elk herds, these over-foraged plants have had a chance to grow back, providing more berries for hungry grizzlies looking to fatten themselves up before winter. Not only does this study illustrate the importance of having apex predators like wolves in an ecosystem, but as our chief scientist Chris Haney told Northwest Public Radio, more science on grizzly bears can only help conservation efforts for that species as well. New Additions to Oregon Wolves Remote cameras snapped this shot confirming three new pups for Oregon's newest wolf pack, the Mt. Emily pack. This means there are a total of seven wolf packs in Oregon with pups – good news for wolf recovery in the Pacific Northwest! The Clock is Ticking Today is day 50 of the 90-day comment period on the Fish and Wildlife Service's proposal to delist nearly all gray wolves across most of the lower 48 states. There's no word yet on when and where the public hearings on this issue will take place, but we're working hard to make sure that the Service hears from wildlife biologists, legal experts, wildlife advocates and other conservation groups that gray wolf recovery is not complete, and this delisting could endanger the progress we've all worked so hard to achieve.

There are 20 questions in this sample. When you're done, see how well you did.
Prices are going up for a wide variety of products and services this fall, from airfare to bacon. Here's a look at 10 price hikes you'll likely notice the most, according to CBS MoneyWatch.
10. Buying a home
Homebuyers could get hit with a double-whammy of higher home prices and higher interest rates this fall.
9. Chicken
Chicken had been a cheaper alternative as beef and pork prices rose earlier this year. But now poultry prices are on the increase. One reason is fertility problems with a rooster breed in the U.S. due to a genetic issue, lowering chicken populations already on the decline.
8. School supplies
Parents with kids in grades K-12 say they will spend an average of $669.28 on clothes, supplies and electronics, up 5 percent from last year, according to a survey from the National Retail Federation.
7. Airfare
The average roundtrip air ticket has risen to $509.15, according to The Associated Press. Why? Customers are paying more in airline fees, as well as higher Transportation Security Administration fees that took effect July 21.
6. Starbucks drinks
Higher coffee bean prices has forced Starbucks to raise prices in its U.S. cafes and stores. Dunkin' Brands is also recommending price hikes at its Dunkin' Donuts franchises in response to higher bean costs.
5. Electricity rates
Utilities across the country have either hiked electricity rates already or plan to do so this fall.
4. Chocolate
Buying candy for trick-or-treaters will cost more this year because of higher cocoa prices. Hershey hiked its chocolate prices in July by about 8 percent, and Mars is about to roll out a 7 percent hike of its own.
3. Denim
Back-to-school shopping usually involves a pair of jeans or two, and retailers know that. Most hike jean prices in the fall before lowering them closer to winter time.
2. Bacon
The horror! Yes, meat prices are going up across the board, but rising bacon costs have hit baconphiles particularly hard. Bacon now costs $6.11 per pound, an all-time high, mostly due to a virus that killed 13 percent of the U.S. hog herd.
1. Sandwiches
Kraft announced in July that it's raising prices on 50 percent of its products, including cheese and Oscar Meyer deli products. However, the cost of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually down compared to recent years.

Bird guide training at the Rwenzori National Mountains Park in Uganda

Since it began in 1985, the RSPB's second-hand binocular scheme has provided more than 12,000 pieces of optical equipment to conservation and education projects in more than 90 countries.
From Vietnam to Greece, India to Ecuador, binoculars and telescopes have found their way to projects in some of the world's most remote communities, often delivered by RSPB staff and supporters.
We have been able to provide equipment for a range of initiatives across the world that have helped educate people and protect many different species.
'Without it, the projects would have been much more difficult to run'
Without it, the projects would have been much more difficult to run, as many of the organisations could not have afforded to buy binoculars and telescopes.
As they upgrade their equipment, lots of people put their old binoculars and telescopes in the back of cupboards and forget about them. This is a really good way of putting them to a good use.
The initiative has helped a range of projects, including equipping Angola's first-ever bird hide, the chance for Tanzanian school children to see close-up views of wildlife at a national park and for park rangers on a Brazilian rainforest reserve to protect wildlife from illegal hunters.
