Transactions Costs and Point-Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Trading
AbstractThe implications of transactions costs for the performance of water pollution trading involving point and nonpoint sources are examined. The analysis focuses on the impacts of transaction costs on different classes of trading partners and its consequence on the trading equilibrium. The model of point-nonpoint water pollution trading in the context of the total maximum daily loads explicitly incorporates transactions costs for both buying and selling exchanges of nonpoint source and point source permits. Transactions costs unarguably reduce the optimal level of trades in both types of permits compared to the costless trade case.

New links to interviews I did while on tour! I found this first just this morning. It's a fabulous phone interview I did with the guys over at NonProductive radio before I even went on tour. No spoilers, but lots on insight. You can find my bit about halfway into the program. http://www.non-productive.com/podcasts/index.php?id=848 I feel bad I didn't find this until now, because it's really worth listening to.
And here's a little article I did for Kindle blogs about where I get my inspiration. http://www.kindlepost.com/2014/03/where-does-inspiration-come-from.html So check them both out if you like, and leave a comment so they ask me back next year!
Schuler's was the last stop on the tour, and it did not fail to impress! I think I had the biggest variety of tour T's here than any other. And the readers! My gosh, they were enthusiastic, coming from as far as six hours away. (Just click the photo to go to the higher resolution picture for to snag for yourself)
The readers even brought cake! And what a cake it was, crafted especially for not only The Undead Pool, but St. Patrick's day as well. You can't see from here, but there are Tink curses on it, and a salute to the leprechaun who started it all. Thank you again. It was so wonderful.

No. 19 was No. 1 in city, my house
The first words I remember are "Get the baby out from in front of the TV." I was 3 years old when the Baltimore Colts beat the New York Giants in the 1958 NFL championship game, so it's a safe bet that my father wanted an unobstructed view of the man who was known as Johnny U. by most, the "Master" by insiders and "Mister Unitas" by referees.

Find out how many pages a website has.
Now, I know I am an author. So this advice coming from me, might seem to come from an unlikely source. I am also however a professional online marketing specialist that has owned a web design and development company as well as managed online marketing for big international brands. I know a few things, unlike other web specialists, I don't mind sharing little dirty secrets. So you want to know how many pages a site has? You are evaluating your marketing ideas and considering a site but want to know how big it really is? Is there a competitor with a large site and you want to know how many pages his site has? Whatever the reason for wanting to know a sites number of pages I am going to give you the simplest, most accurate way of finding out nearly exactly how many pages a site has.
How do I find out how many pages a website has?
Simple, all you need to do is use a sitemap generating tool, there are many available, some are free to use and others you have to pay for. As a general rule it is going to depend on how big the site you want answers for is.
How it works: Sitemap generators use the same method of browsing a site that google uses. The sitemap generator will crawl through the website, following each and every link until it knows exactly how many pages there are in a website. The pages of a site are generally public, your crawler will be able to see every page that could be seen by an individual, or to be more precise every page that could be indexed by a search engine. What you are doing is completely legal, at the end of the day these pages are on the public domain, they are there for everyone to see.
In short if you want to know how many pages a website has: use an online sitemap generator if you google the term "online sitemap generator" you will find a few, find one you like and it will give you all the answers you need.
Why would I want to find out how many pages a website has?
Well there are a number of reasons, however lets start with the most important one. You are going to be featured in a website, you are probably paying to be featured in it. Now, the site owner tells you that they get 10,000 page views a day. You think this is quite impressive and will give you a very good return on your investment. However the real question you need to ask is how many pageviews is your page, or your advert going to get?
Site A has 10,000 pages and 10,000 pageviews a day
As an average this means that each page receives approximately 1 page view per day. When you think about it, this means that working with an average your page in their site will receive 365 visits in a year. Now that is not so impressive. So 10,000 pageviews, a very high Alexa Ranking, or Compete ranking, or Quantcast figures do not give you an accurate picture unless your advertising is sitewide. The previous mentioned ranking sites give you an indication of site traffic.
Site B has 100 page and receives 1,000 pageviews per day
As an average this means that each page receives approximately 10 page views per day. The daily pageviews for the site is quite low in relation to Site A however the per/page traffic is 10 times higher. Your page in this site as an average will receive 3,650 visits. Compared to the 365 visits from site A this is a much better option.
Site C has 10 pages and receives 200 pageviews per day
As an average this means that each page receives approximately 20 pageviews per day. The daily pageviews for this site is even lower than the one before, however out of the three websites it provides the best value for money. DO NOT be fooled by big numbers, when evaluating if you should advertise on a particular site the two numbers you want are: Number of pages and number of page views. Unless you are advertising sitewide in which case you only need to know the number of pageviews.
Other reasons to know how many pages a site has:
You just got invited to be a guest blogger on a site, you are going to spend a few hours perfecting a lovely article for their website so that people will learn about you. What you want to know is how many views your page is likely to receive. Knowing how many pageviews a site has without knowing how many pages it has makes it nearly impossible to quantify the traffic you will receive.
You got invited to an interview on a website, you are going to take the time to be interviewed and you intend on pouring your heart out. You want to know how many people are going to see it.
There are many more reasons why you may want to know how many pages a website has however whatever the reason, what you need is a sitemap generator, it will not only give you answers as to the numbers but will also give you insight into what else is on the site in one single quick to read page.
The sitemap is like a table of contents
Here is another dirty trick you can use. This one is fast and whilst not always available, it will almost always be there with a professionally built website.
Website name: http://anywebsitename.com/sitemap.xml <– This does not guarantee that all pages are indexed however it is likely to give you a good picture of the number of pages and the type of content on the site.
I hope you liked my little article about: How many pages does a website have?

Why CodingHorror is horribly wrong about Blacklists and Virus Scanners
Jeff and I had an interesting debate on virus scanners a few weeks ago. He posted his take on the conversation yesterday, and (surprise!) we both think we won the argument. I believe the difference of opinion really comes down to a few different assumptions about the problem we're trying to solve:
- Different classes of Anti-Virus Software (Quality AV Software vs. Bundleware)
- Antivirus Effectiveness (Is it really just 33% effective?)
- The Goal of Virus Protection (Risk Management vs. Invincibility)
- Modeling the Threat (Known malware vs. New malware)
- Approach to Security (Practical vs. Theoretical)
- Productivity Tradeoffs (Virus Scanning vs. Running As Administrator)
So, let's go through the list:

By GUY KOVNER
Tina Chinn, who gets about with a walker and describes herself as a "bouncing 80," thrives on her three visits a week to a senior health program at Friends House in Santa Rosa.
"It couldn't be a better place," said Chinn, a diminutive gray-haired woman from Windsor who's quick to smile, despite suffering from diabetes and dementia. "Otherwise, I'd be sitting at home watching the tube or sleeping."
Chinn, who lives with her daughter's family, wants no part of a nursing home. "Oh, God, no," she said. "It's just not home. It's terrible."
But the care and conviviality Chinn enjoys through the Adult Day Health Care program will end if state lawmakers accept Gov. Jerry Brown's budget proposal to eliminate the $177 million program, which serves 37,000 frail seniors and disabled adults statewide.
With the state facing a $25.4 billion projected budget deficit, Brown is seeking deep cuts in programs that have long been protected by fellow Democrats. He is proposing $12 billion in taxes and fees, which must be approved by voters, and $12.5 billion in spending cuts.
H.D. Palmer, a state Department of Finance spokesman, called the Adult Day Health Care cuts "just one of the very difficult decisions" needed to balance next year's budget.
Courts have held that the state may not scale back a Medi-Cal program like Adult Day Health Care, but may wipe it out entirely, Palmer said.
Critics of the plan say the savings are an illusion, asserting that closure of the Santa Rosa program and about 310 others statewide would send thousands of low-income elderly and disabled people into nursing homes — at a cost about five times higher.
Medi-Cal costs for a year in adult day health care are about $11,400, compared with $60,000 for a nursing home, officials said.
"This program is a bargain for taxpayers," said Lydia Missaelides, executive director of the California Association for Adult Day Services. Her organization is gearing up for the third consecutive year to fight the proposed termination.
The Lewin Group, a health services consultant, said last year that shutting down the adult day health program would put 14,000 people into nursing homes at a cost to taxpayers of $93.4 million.
Counting people who transfer to other publicly funded programs, eliminating the adult day health program would shift more than $150 million in new costs to other programs, wiping out the proposed $135 million savings, the Lewin Group forecast last year when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger included the plan in his budget.
Lawmakers rejected that proposal, but it resurfaced last week in Brown's budget, along with two other cuts in services for the elderly and disabled totaling $681 million.
In its response to the budget, the Legislative Analyst's Office questioned the rationale for eliminating Adult Day Health Care, saying the savings "would be offset by additional costs in Medi-Cal and other state programs."
Brown's budget added $16 million to the Developmental Services Department to offset some of the patient transfer from adult day health, Palmer said.
It's unclear if that's enough to cover all the cost shifts, said Meredith Wurden, an LAO fiscal and policy analyst. Her office wants the governor to develop "a net savings amount that includes cost shifts to other services," she said.
Assemblyman Michael Allen, D-Santa Rosa, said he and other lawmakers will ask whether proposed cuts to health services make sense.
"Do they really save money?" he wondered.
Allen, a member of the Assembly Budget Committee, said he hasn't reached any conclusions yet. "We're trying to keep an open mind to all the proposals until we understand them."
State Sen. Noreen Evans, a Santa Rosa Democrat who was highly critical of Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts in 2009 and 2010, did not return telephone calls seeking comment on Brown's proposal.
In addition to ending Adult Day Health Care, Brown's budget proposes to eliminate a $19.9 million case management service and to scale back the In-Home Supportive Services Program (IHSS) by $484.6 million.
Susan Beer, a registered nurse who runs the local adult day services program, called the combination "a frontal assault on the elderly."
Some of her clients, like Paula Vasquez, 71, a former migrant worker who lives in Santa Rosa, use all three of the Medi-Cal funded programs aimed at keeping people out of institutional care.
Vasquez suffers from severe arthritis, hypertension, asthma and diabetes, needs help showering, getting dressed and combing her hair. She wants to remain at home with her husband, who is disabled with diabetes and arthritis, and two grandchildren.
Her daughter and a caregiver paid by IHSS take care of her, and two days a week she rides the adult day health services bus to Friends House.
"I feel better in here," said Vasquez, who dropped out of school in the fourth grade to care for her siblings and spent her adult life working in the fields of Texas and California. "I never felt as good as I am now."
Vasquez is striving to walk 75 feet. "I want to get rid of the wheelchair," she said.
The 45 participants in the program at Friends House, run by Santa Rosa Community Health Centers, range from age 40 to 95. None of them can drive, about half are in wheelchairs and the others need canes or walkers. They need help with daily activities, such as showering, grooming, dressing, eating and using the bathroom.
Some are in pain, some are partially paralyzed by strokes and many are unable to control their bodily functions.
In their four-hour days at Friends House, they receive medical care, speech and physical therapy, help with personal hygiene, lunch and recreation, including card games and exercise.
If the program closed, 11 of her clients would wind up in nursing homes and 18 — no longer under regular nursing supervision — would make more frequent trips to hospital emergency rooms, another cost the governor's budget does not consider, Beer said.
The Lewin Group, a Virginia-based consultant, said last year that about 36 percent of Adult Day Health Care clients, or about 14,000 people, would initially go to nursing homes. By 2030, the number would swell to 24,500 at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $250 million, Lewin said in a study commissioned by the Congress of California Seniors.
"The human cost is higher, too," said Diane Kaljian, Sonoma County adult and aging services director. California is "quickly dismantling" the safety net designed to keep elderly and disabled people out of nursing homes.
If the governor's budget cuts were adopted, many elderly people would fall back on families or fend for themselves, Kaljian said. But some have no relatives nearby, and those left alone often do well temporarily but fall into a state of self-neglect, end up in hospitals and from there go to nursing facilities.
"Home is where most people want to be," she said.
This is such complete and utter b.s.! The liberals do this every time state or county funds are cut. They use it to hammer on old people and developmentally disabled folks.
Instead, they can cut all the paid days off each county employee gets, the sick days they all use fraudulently as paid days off, then get rid of all the county paid cars, expense accounts and the assistants to the assistants' assistants.
But no, they cut police, firefighters, old people and developmentally disabled folks' benefits first in order to try to get public support to RAISE TAXES AGAIN rather than cutting back on waste. Liberals are so transparent it's pathetic. I can't believe you people keep voting them back into office. You ought to have your heads examined.
In fact, I've got an opening this Thursday at 11am. Call my office.
Here is the solution. Raise taxes. Simple. Everyone pays more, no one has to cut, everyone is happy, except everyone who pays taxes. Oh well, someone has to pay. I think pensions are protected by law. Some of them anyways. I know mine is hanging in the wind and will probably be confiscated to settle the national debt, oh well. Everyone should put some cash and precious metal under their mattress and not tell anyone. This system will crash, but they will just raise taxes to cover it. Bummer.
Brownactjack (or whoeveryou are),
Evidently you are unaware of adjustments occurring routinely to social security in the form of denied COLAs or pushed back retirement ages.
As for your other points, it's possible to confirm whether your telling the truth or making this stuff up since you're hiding behind a moniker. Accordingly, I give your comment no credence.
to you who wish to lower pension payment, will also want to lower Social Security?
Oh, and by the way, I was the only speaker who objected to raising the retirement benefits from 2% to 3% when it came before the City Council.
Where were you?
Your a funny guy, last time I checked the USA was founded in part by tax protest and a huge mis-trust of tyrannical government.
Can you even name three \degeulatory economic policies\ ? and how have they been corrected?
I don't think anybody wants to screw retirees. But politicians made promises to gain constituents that left taxpayers on the hook. Now with everyone bleeding red and leveraged to the hilt, how are the promises going to be paid for?
Hey Bear!
I pay my own mortgage, carry no credit card debt and pay the taxes that support your government pension. You fail to acknowledge thirty (or more) years of union-friendly elected officials that granted you and your cronies those unsustainable and economy-busting pensions. Sure, blame the republicans and everyone else to deflect blame from your public employee union activities that have landed us in the current malaise. But don't get snarky with me just because I'm tired of paying for it.
What a motley crew of tax protestors.
You all must love the TV commercials that run nonstop advising you how to get out of credit card and tax debt. Not including fees.
You are in a recession caused by republican and degeulatory economic policies on the national level. Hey, stock prices are starting to rebound, which will eventually correct the so-called "public pension crisis."
Instead of remaining calm, you just want to screw 30-year retirees out of promised benefits?
Oh, and escape your own mortgages, credit card debt and tax debt at the same time?
Everybody knows you.
"The Human Cost of Cuts." If government tax cuts and government reductions are not made, the real human cost of cuts is that the economy that continues to tank. Jobs will continue to flee of state to other states and overseas because of the high taxes being leveled against businesses. State and local government regulations which are dicouraging small businesses and driving big business out of the state and Sonoma County will continue.
Government does not create an economy, it can and is destroying the California economy with taxes and regulations.
If California and this region are to grow economically, government spending has to be fundamentally reduced.
Even Governor Brown believes this as he is recommending a sustantial budget cut which is only a beginning of what will have to be done.
For the forseeable future, government spending as we have known it is over and so are the social and welfare programs, large government pensions and government salaries and benefits. Many are going to be hurt by the reductions. Too many in state government and in city hall still dream of a rescue that is not on the horizon.
We are going to hear alot of sad and pathetic, tear-jerking stories so J.Brown can set us up for a special election, to raise taxes, for all these underfunded programs.
The sad part? Most voters will fall for it.
Many programs/union benefits can be cut before these programs need be affected.
Personally, I never trust government math for all of the obvious reasons. I would like to see our elders/disabled attended to in the least restrictive and most fiscally responsible manner. Unfortunately the necessary cuts need to come from somewhere. I believe before looking at cuts to the disabled we need to address our illegal immigration/welfare/union pension/tax burdens/environmental regulations that have turned California into a cesspool. Unfortunately with liberals running our state (face it, they have been running CA into the ground for a couple of generations)the disabled our being held hostage once again.
It's unfortunate the PD never seems to ask the question begging to be asked, why can't this woman's family help pay for her 3 days each week at Friends House? No one in her close or extended family can help out?
Must taxpayers replace the assistance that was once supplied by families? If so, we have a problem beyond solving.
But maybe Noreen Evans has an even larger problem. After denouncing Schwarzenegger's proposed cuts in the nastiest of terms, she's now faced with essentially the same proposal from the leader of her own political party.
This state is filled with some of the most economically ignorant voters in the country.
We could have phased in moderate,responsible cuts years ago.But no,we HAD to spend ourselves into a desperate situation because that's what "compassion" dictates.
Now we have no choice.And I pray that when the dummycrats(who spent us into this corner) come crying for a bailout,the Repubs in congress will force them to heal and start budgeting like adults.
This article is a great example of why we need to be more business friendly, relax the environmental laws governing how to do business in California. The manufacture of goods is much better then the sale of goods because the former does more for revenue for the State. Most may not like it, but, the asphalt gravel, and quarry plants are good for revenue. If we want Solar panels or elec. Cars lets mine the materials needed for these products here in California.
"The human cost is higher, too said Diane Kaljian, Yes look at the high unemployment, home foreclosures, and a lot of these people do not qualify for a social program.
I say if we want it lets build it from the ground up
There are a lot of sacred cows that need to be disposed of quickly, starting with pension agreements and social entitlements.
I am skeptical that any of these proposals will see the light of day.
This talk of budgetary frugalness always seems to go away when the voters get distracted by some other catastrophe.

At Least 45 Women and Children Killed in Fresh Syria Attacks
Syrian opposition activists say at least 45 women and children were stabbed and burned to death Sunday by government forces in the Syrian city of Homs.
According to Local Coordination Committees of Syria, the massacre took place after peace talks between a U.N. special envoy and the Syrian regime failed to result in a cease-fire.

summary: Steampunk AU. When bounty hunter Emma Swan is commissioned by Robert Gold, powerful and mysterious president of the Royal Society of English Magicians, to take down notorious airship pirate Captain Killian Jones, it lands them in a web of political and magical intrigue, dark secrets, and the dangerous London underworld - as well as their unwanted attraction to each other. Multi-chapter, slow burn.
rating: T (will go up)
status: WIP
available: FF.net and AO3
previous: chapter 7
Will Scarlet and Emma Swan had been standing side by side, listening to the distant bells of Prague call the morning hours as misty sunlight blossomed over the city – she imperviously repelling his periodic attempts at small talk – when the door of the brownstone flew open with a crash. The reason it had done so was for a clearly out-of-temper Killian Jones, coattails swirling, to storm through it in magnificently black dudgeon. This he did, without so much as a sidelong glance at them, and proceeded out of sight down the alley at a correspondingly blistering pace. They had to run to catch up with him, which Will did by the arm, spinning him back around to face them. "Oy! Where n' blazes are you off to now, leavin' us behind as a snack? Because I'm not bloody going to do that ag – "
"Shut up," the pirate snapped, in quite a different voice than the exasperated, but still wickedly bantering, tone he tended to take with the thief. "We've got something else to steal, and we have to do it as soon as possible."
Will arched a skeptical eyebrow, in perfect imitation of the captain's own habit. "Oh? And what's it this time? The Queen of Sheba's jewels, I reckon?"

For 2012, Britax has converted their most wonderful Britax B-Agile Stroller into a double buggy! This stroller is coming to us in just a few weeks, and we expect it to become quite popular quite quickly! We haven't actually seen it ourselves, because it hasn't been released yet, but as as soon as it is – you can be sure that we will have them!
Firstly, the Britax B Agile Double has all the great features of the single B-Agile, but it can now hold two children. The stroller's frame is quite lightweight and easy to maneuver which makes it quite easy to bring anywhere. We don't have the exact measurements and weight just yet, but you can be sure that it won't be too big or heavy. The single large back wheels, and double front wheels make steering and the ride really smooth.
The best part? The Britax B-Agile Double includes a car seat adapter which will fit most major brands of infant seats – that saves you $90 on the spot. The only downside is that the double buggy can only hold one car seat at a time. Caregivers will further appreciate the access to under-seat basket through the front leg rest, automatic chassis lock and two convenient zippered back-of-seat pockets. The padded, supportive seats feature a 5-point harness system with head pad that is adjustable without having to rethread or unhook any straps.
The articulating handle and adjustable handlebar makes life easy for parents of all heights. The Britax B-Agile Double comes in red and black and will be out at the very end of May 2012. It will retail at $449 – which is a great buy!

ATLANTA (AP) - State officials say they're taking a zero tolerance stance on drunk drivers and boaters during the Fourth of July.
Officials from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Public Safety will tour the state Monday to remind Georgians that police will be on high alert for drunk drivers and boat operators this week.
Officials are planning to speak at Flightways, a regional airport in Columbus, the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport in Albany, the Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon, Signature Flight in Savannah and the Georgia State Patrol Hangar at Augusta Regional Airport.

Towards the end I was so exhausted and cold that the therapist got me some medication and I interrupted the treatment and canceled the last one... I then returned back to our room where I collapsed in the bed praying that I only had the flu as I had not thrown up yet.... About 10 minutes before we had to leave for the airports all my prayers were in vain and I threw up right on the bathroom floor but I pulled myself together ...

The oldest ancestor I can prove is Thomas H. Kellow born about 1808 in NC. I first find him in Williamson County, TN in the 1850 census at age 42. His wife was Sarah Vaughn born in VA.
One of their children was my great great grandfather, William T. Kellow. I have the other siblings names also and will post later. William "Bill" Kellow was born December 1839 in Williamson County, so I know Thomas and wife were there by that date. The family came to West Tennessee in the later 1850's and settled near the Gibson, Dyer, Crockett County lines. They appear in different counties through the years although they likely didn't stray far from the same area.
William enlisted in the 47th TN Infantry CSA in Gibson County in late 1861 about the time he turned 21. He managed to survive all the way to the end of the War and surrendered in NC in 1864 at the end after the final battle. I have a copy of his pension application (TN #s5545 - Dyer County) from the early 1900's if anyone needs it. Two of his brothers also served in the 47th and one died and one was wounded at Murfreesboro. William was wounded at Chickamauga in 1863 but re-inlisted later anyway. He must have been completely dedicated to the cause. He was listed as one of about 20 who was with the unit at the end of the War when well over 900 had started.
He married Frances "Fanny" Arrington right after the War. She was the daughter of Richard Arrington and Jane McCall Newton of NC and later Middle TN (I also have more on the Newtons and McCalls). The marriage certificate says "Mrs. Fanny Nesbitte" or something like that. It was her second marriage - she was married to a Nesbit or Nesbett (maybe named Francis also) from Georgia, but he may have died in the War. She had a couple of children from the first marriage at least. William and Fanny had several children from the late 1860's into the 1880's. One was my great grandfather Robert Edgar Kellow who married Mary Jane Jones, daughter of Amaziah Franklin Jones and Elizabeth "Letsey" Jane Tucker. Robert and Mary Kellow lived out their lives in Gibson County, TN.
I do not know exactly when William T. Kellow died and I do not know where he was buried. I would love to find out! He was living near Bonicord and Tigrett, Tennessee, in Dyer County at the time of his pension. Several "Kelloughs" are buried in Dyer in that area. I believe these to be descendants of his uncles or siblings but I can't place them completely.
If anyone knows anything more about this line or wants to know more, please post here or e-mail me at:
I'll try to post more on the siblings from the 1850 census later. Thanks!

Hi, I know there are ways to slow U Tube videos down using different programs but yesterday I watched a video (which is in my favourites IE9) and there was a menu at the bottom of the screen for adjusting the play speed, I know it was there and used it to slow down some music I am learning, anyway today that selection choice is not there and I only have the standard options at the bottom rightof the video screen. Whats going on? Thanks

Going to answer my own question in case anyone is interested. Look for UTube html trial, a single click adds a box called 'Normal' to the video and you can select all sorts of speeds.

The travel adviser: The four questions
By MARK FELDMAN
04/06/2014 02:19
European and Israeli consumers will benefit greatly from the huge influx of low-cost carriers flying to and from Europe this spring and summer.

While my younger sister relished in creating Haggadot to entertain and educate her guests, for me each year I appreciate the Four Questions and challenge my Seder guests with my own inquiries. The Four Questions are one of the central themes of the Seder and serve as an educational tool. Each question is structured in a way so as to arouse curiosity so that they would inquire about the answers. So in the spirit of Passover, I offer for your reading enjoyment, my Four Questions and my Four Answers.
1. Why is it that on all other flights during the year, we eat either bread or matzot, but on more and more flights we eat whatever we bring on board or purchase? Let's be totally frank with each other, most airline food is devoid of flavor, poorly seasoned and the continual demand of desiring great cuisine at 10,000 meters has always been laughable. What has changed dramatically is that passengers have come to realize that being served edible, tasty food is a luxury best left to those people flying business or first class or flying airlines such as Turkish or Thai that still take pride in serving meals to all of their passengers.
El Al's decision on her five low-cost routes, Larnaca, Budapest, Berlin, Kiev and Prague to only sell meals resonates deeply with every single US airline that has embraced wholeheartedly the policy of selling meals on domestic flights. Airlines both before and after the Passover and Easter holidays will continue to find new ways to increase their revenues. No longer content with selling you an air ticket, they will strive to sell you not bitter herbs but so called fresh cuisine while you fly high above the clouds.
2. Why is that on many other flights, we eat sitting or reclining, but on so few long haul El AL flights, we can't recline our expensive business class seat 180 degrees? El Al in its King Solomon like wisdom finally joined the ranks of the big boy airlines and on her flights to and from JFK has installed lie flat beds. No longer privy to complaints from members of Israel's Parliament, or New York's elite, to say nothing of the Israeli venture capitalists, the beleaguered business traveler can now stretch out in business class.
Pity that El Al only had the wherewithal to upgrade their fleet on their flights to JFK, leaving their Jumbo planes to Toronto, Newark, London, Johannesburg, Hong Kong, Mumbai and Beijing far behind their competitors but it's a nice start. Early reviews have been less than sterling, but such carping will fall by the wayside as actual passengers try it.
In fact, as you retell the Haggada from your very comfortable seats, take note that most airlines too are trying to make you pay more for similar seats. Say you and your traveling partner are flying Iberia to Spain to see yet another country where Jews were forced to leave. On their flights from Tel Aviv, to and from Madrid, Iberia demands €20 if you want to sit next to one another when checking in on their site. No doubt eager to avoid any verbal disagreements, the airline leaves it up to their passengers to pay for the privilege of sitting together. Now imagine you're a family of four with two young children – the option of forgoing that fee is far harder to avoid. United Airlines and Delta on their daily flights to the Holy Land from Newark and JFK entice the consumer to savor the delights of their Economy Comfort seats and the almost 13 cm. of extra leg room between seats. British Airlines to London and come summertime, Air Canada from Toronto have created a separate compartment on their aircraft with better seats and better food to allow those flyers unable or unwilling to pay for business class to dip their toes in the vaunted cabins of Premium Economy.
3. Why is it that on so many flights, we have no idea until we board the plane, what airline it actually is? Simply because of the acceleration of airline mergers and the constant chaos of code sharing, until you actually see the plane, one can never be certain. Take the latest megamerger, US Airways purchase of American Airlines. Do a search on any travel site for flights between Philadelphia and Tel Aviv and American Airlines flight No. 796. I assure you that when you get to Philadelphia Airport and look out windows of the terminal you'll see a shiny US Air Airbus, awaiting your presence.
Today, tonight and throughout 2014 will be a transition year for the two carriers, which will start merging flight codes and frequent flier programs. US Air already jumped ship from the Star World Airline Alliance and joined forces with American Airlines in the British Airlines dominated One World Alliance. Travelers will continue to check in at each airline's ticket counter. Time will soon tell us whether the merger goes smoothly or runs into turbulence.
Review the online departures at London's Heathrow airport and on every flight from London to New York, you'll find three different airlines, American Airlines, British Air and Iberia having identical departure times with identical departure gates. It's like that game on beach boardwalks around the world, where there's one pea under three cups and the gambling observer needs to identify which cup holds the pea. No wrong answer here... while the names of the actual plane have been disguised to confuse the passenger, it is fact one single plane that the passenger will embark on.
4. Why is it that on so many flights in previous years did we pay so much money to fly from Israel to nearby destinations? The answer is both UP in the air and because of the Open Sky Agreement. This month saw El Al kick off her response to the Open Sky agreement between the European Union and the State of Israel. Using new aircraft, El Al chose four ideal low-cost cities, Larnaca, Kiev, Budapest and Prague and one idiotic location, Berlin to dramatically lower the price of flights. The first four cities attract leisure passengers who may feel more loyal to flying El Al than her competitors. Berlin, though, was a destination that many businesspeople desire. While easyJet, the emblematic poster boy for low-cost airlines flies the route, Israeli frequent fliers continued paying top dollar to fly El Al. No more, Jacob D., was in pure ecstasy when told by his travel consultant that his two-day trip to Berlin, which used to cost him over $800 was only $399.
UP Airlines, the new low-cost hybrid from El Al was the brainchild of her latest CEO, David Maimon who very recently took up his post. Previously the vice president of El Al in charge of trade and aviation relations, the retired IDF colonel's last command was the induction center.

It's the first time in over a quarter century that El Al elected to promote someone from within. Whether it's because the owners are anxiously trying to arrange to sell the airline and prefer that senior management with a proven track record lead it throughout this journey or that finally the words of wizened business consultants and journalists pleading for some type of continuity by hiring someone from within the industry, Maimon's main predicator for success will be viewed through the prism of their new brand.
European and Israeli consumers will benefit greatly from the huge influx of low-cost carriers flying to and from Europe this spring and summer. The three Israeli airlines, Arkia, IsraAir and El Al, will need to react quickly and deftly to stay afloat as the easyJets and Wizz Airs along with 30 other airlines bypass the Sinai Peninsula. No 40 years in the desert for them, no need for manna from the heavens, they realize that while the streets of Israel aren't flowing with milk and honey, the Israeli consumer is parched for inexpensive fares to nearby destinations.

The Integration of Cranial Structural and Soft Tissue
By Don McCann, MA, LMT, LMHC, CSETT
Massage therapists around the world have taken to cranial work and have seen the vision of helping to facilitate homeostasis for their clients. Since massage therapists address musculoskeletal pain, it is only natural that new adaptations of cranial work have arisen and that rehabilitation from musculoskeletal pain has become a focus.
Cranial/structural therapy is a cranial therapy that seeks not only a restriction-free cranial rhythm, but also the elimination of soft tissue restrictions in the cranium that can create structural distortions throughout the entire structure. This therapy not only releases restrictions within the normal cranial motion (which can be hydraulic or energetic or mechanical), but it also addresses additional soft tissue restrictions that hold the structural balance or imbalance of the body. Cranial sutures, like any joint in the body, are limited in range of motion by soft tissue restrictions in the reciprocal tension membrane, the tentorum, the dura or the fascia/musculature. Therefore, cranial/structural therapy includes soft tissue releases to achieve long lasting release of restrictions around the cranial sutures that will produce long lasting structural rehabilitation from musculoskeletal pain.
The chief cranial distortion we all have is the core distortion that directly affects the cranial motion and the SBS (Sphenobasilar Synchondrosis). Put simply, the soft tissue around the cranium connected to all the cranial bones, specifically the sphenoid and the occiput and their interrelationship with the other vault bones, has restrictions in the soft tissue that cause an imbalance in the cranial motion. This cranial imbalance is reflected in the pelvis with one ilium rotating anteriorly, the other posteriorly and the sacrum tipping from the lack of support of the anteriorly rotated ilium. This creates not only a long and short leg, but also a tipped unlevel sacrum at the base of the spine which results in exaggerated curvatures, some as severe as scoliosis. Imagine the excitement when it was discovered the distortion in the cranium was the same distortion found in the pelvis, and that when the distortion in the cranium was released and balanced, the rotation of the iliums was significantly bought into balance creating a weight bearing support for the sacrum and an immediate lessening of the distortion on the entire structure. Especially exciting was the reduced curvature of the spine and the leg lengths becoming equal.
One of the big challenges in treating clients with severe musculoskeletal issues such as disc conditions, migraine headaches, degenerating joints etc., has been trying to create long term structural support to maintain the improvements that move the body into balance to facilitate maximum healing and pain free function. This is even more important with the advent of stem cell injections as the structural imbalance would just damage the new tissue if left in the same imbalance, and results would be minimal. This is also the case with prolotherapy and bone tissue replacement. The good news is when the core distortion in the cranium is released and balanced, this new balance brings the pelvis into weight bearing support allowing the above mentioned therapies to be more effective. Even more important is that the need for those therapies is often eliminated. However, it is also necessary to integrate myofascial soft tissue releases for the rest of the body. This is especially true in the areas where the imbalance has created pain and degeneration.
When the core distortion is released from the soft tissue of the cranium, the pelvis returns to weight bearing support with the dramatic reduction of the degree of rotation of the iliums and leveling the of the sacrum. This starts an immediate process of the soft tissue unwinding out of its previous holding patterns throughout the body. This often results in a quick reduction of painful symptoms and prepares the body for more extensive myofascial therapy to release and balance the other soft tissue throughout the body. Prior to having the core distortion released the client's body had literally grown into the distorted pattern and much of the soft tissue is limited in the degree that it can unwind.
If a client had come for a session with back pain and a bulging disc, the unwinding from the cranial/structural core distortion releases would have taken some of the pressure off the disc as the spine straightened, but the client would probably still be in pain due to the compensation in soft tissue around the area.
If the curvature of the spine had so much pressure that it caused a bulging disc, then the soft tissue would have significant inflammation, fibering, shortening and splinting that could not unwind without specific hands-on soft tissue therapy. This would also be true not only in the area of the spine but around any joint in the body where pain and degeneration were a problem. This is a pain site-specific observation. However, if long term rehabilitation from pain is your goal then you need to look throughout the entire structure of the body, not just at the specific site of the pain. Releasing the core distortion from the cranium affects the pelvis and reduces the long leg/short leg discrepancy, but any distortion in any part of the body can have an effect on the site of the major collapse and pain.
Therefore, to fully rehabilitate the body so that it can maintain the improvements it is necessary to treat the entire structure of the body which has also been in core distortion for the lifetime of the client to achieve a balance that will support the area that had been in pain. If this is not done, the areas with the greatest imbalance will still be creating problems and painful symptoms in the client's body. In other words, the area that was most damaged will not be supported by the rest of the body, but will be still stressed by lack of support from other imbalanced areas of the body. A simple way of looking at this is any imbalance in the body affects the whole, and a weakened area will be most affected.
Thus, for maximum rehabilitation the concept of integrating the cranial/structural core distortion releases with soft tissue myofascial techniques to treat the tissues that had the most structural and direct effect on the area of pain is most effective. Initially, spending extra time on these areas and not trying to treat the whole body in the early sessions directly addresses and relieves the client's pain for which the client is grateful. Once this is achieved, it is then necessary to release the soft tissue throughout the rest of the body to support the increased balance in the area that was the original presenting pain. For the client who had a bulging lumbar disc, after the cranial distortion was released, the initial soft tissue treatments would work with the pelvis and leg distortions from the long leg/short leg discrepancy and the low back. Once the client had little or no pain in the area of the bulging disc, the rest of the structure would then be treated. Usually, next in importance would be the upper part of the spine with treatment of the head/neck/and shoulders area. This would be followed with a thoracic session to take the rest of the core distortion holding patterns out of the musculature releasing the curvatures in the thoracic spine which would allow the entire spine now to maintain a vastly improved pain free support. Additional soft tissue sessions would still be needed to release the remaining imbalances in the rest of the legs, feet and arms.
Once the cranial core distortion has been released, the structure of the body is trying to balance and release the holding patterns of the core distortion from all the soft tissue. It can only do so much on its own and needs a therapist's skilled hands to assist it. Since the soft tissue is now beginning to unwind out of the core distortion the therapist has an opportunity to work more effectively with the body as it tries to unwind into a new more supported balance with all levels of soft tissue releasing. Because the entire structure is trying to release at once it is possible to work all levels of connective tissue even in the first session.
Using this model it is possible and beneficial to work deeply to achieve maximum results even in the first session. An approach into the soft tissue that will first release fluid, ischemia and inflammation prepares the area for deeper work. Deeper strokes then allow the myofascial holding pattern to unwind and are most effective when providing direction to the unwinding in the same direction that the body is trying release. The soft tissue and the client are now prepared for deeper more specific strokes to release adhesions, scar tissue and lengthen connective tissue fibers.
As you can see, integrating cranial/structural therapy with soft tissue myofascial work can produce rapid long term results in rehabilitating clients with musculoskeletal pain. This new integration of advanced techniques may be the answer for many of your clients who keep returning with the same problems over and over. I have been developing this integration and using these techniques successfully for the last 25 years. Even the most complex cases who have given up hope after having been everywhere seeking treatment have been able to resume normal life activities pain free.

Still Pining for Gorby: "It seems that Gorbachev, although he's played a role, can't leave the stage quite yet. This country is going under too rapid a change for him to simply disappear right now. Although he's politically weakened, he has to stay on as President. To have a national election now would be to throw the country into a chaos that it doesn't need." — CBS Moscow reporter Jonathan Sanders, August 23, 1991 Evening News.
Boris Yeltsin, So-Called Democrat: "Yeah, one thing I don't like is he's shut down Pravda. Not that I'm any big fan of Pravda, but I think that is flirting with censorship." — Newsweek reporter Eleanor Clift on The McLaughlin Group, August 24, 1991.
"A purge is a purge, and even if it's Boris Yeltsin conducting the purge and the coup plotters who are purged, I think that's a setback for the Soviet Union because in a country where people can't walk out of office and into their own homes and expect not to be shot or arrested, that's not a country that's really free." — National Public Radio news anchor Linda Wertheimer on CNN's Capital Gang, August 24, 1991.
Fearing the End: "There is a danger that the forces of democracy, as they are called, will now go too far. There is a spirit of revenge in the air....They may get into witch hunts where they're actually having kangaroo courts. If you saw that scene last Friday when Gorbachev was called before the Russian Parliament, the way he was heckled, even Yeltsin...saying 'read these notes of the Cabinet out,' I mean he was really embarrassing Gorbachev." — Former New York Times reporter Hedrick Smith, August 26, 1991 Good Morning America.
"There is discussion that this is the last chance to prevent the crime of the Soviet Union breaking apart." — CBS reporter Jonathan Sanders, August 28, 1991 CBS This Morning.
Nostalgic for Good Old Days:
"Inefficient as the old communist economy was, it did provide jobs of a sort for everybody and a steady, if meager, supply of basic goods at low, subsidized prices; Soviet citizens for more than 70 years were conditioned to expect that from their government. Says a Moscow worker: 'We had everything during [Leonid] Brezhnev's times. There was sausage in the stores. We could buy vodka. Things were normal.'" — Time Associate Editor George J. Church, September 23, 1991.
Last Gasping Gorbasms: "Well let me say how I hope history will judge him. Perhaps in time with help and work, people here will improve their everyday lives and remember Gorbachev's accomplishments and that would seem to me fair. I remember not only the end but the beginning of the Cold War and the forty years of fear Gorbachev more than anyone else ended. He seems to me to have done more good in the world than any other national leader of my lifetime." — NBC News Moscow reporter Bob Abernethy, December 24, 1991 Nightly News."The Nobel Prize he received for ending the Cold War was well deserved. Every man, woman and child in this country should be eternally grateful. His statue should stand in the center of every east European capital....No Russian has done more to free his people from bondage since Alexander II who freed the serfs." — Boston Globe Senior Associate Editor H.D.S. Greenway, December 27, 1991 column.
Who's More Authoritarian? "Boris Yeltsin had unconstitutionally dissolved the parliament and he used a tank assault to enforce his decree....what Yeltsin has been doing is quickly moving his own people into the White House as a way of consolidating his now much more authoritarian power." — Dan Rather, January 13, 1994 CBS Evening News.
"In five years, Mikhail Gorbachev has transformed the Soviet Union from a rigid police state to what he describes as a freewheeling infant democracy." — Rather's introduction to a story on making criticism of Gorbachev illegal, May 15, 1990 Evening News.
Gorbachev, Impeccable Overachiever: "It mystifies Westerners that Mikhail Gorbachev is loathed and ridiculed in his own country. This is the man who pulled the world several steps back from the nuclear brink and lifted a crushing fear from his countrymen, who ended bloody foreign adventures, liberated Eastern Europe and won for the Soviet Union at least provisional membership in the club of civilized nations. By the standards of the West (and by comparison with the incumbent, Boris Yeltsin), Mr. Gorbachev is a man of impeccable character." — New York Times foreign editor Bill Keller reviewing Gorbachev's memoirs, October 20, 1996.
