So Germaine, if the federal government is so strongly needed for damge recovery from Sandy why did one of your favorite liberals, Mayor Bloomberg of New York tell Obama to not come there becuase there was to much work for the city to do? All the feds need to do is provide funds. The hard ground work is done by the states. That's why Katrina was such a disaster. Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco told Bush they would not need Fedral intervention. Then they both fell on their faces during the so called recovery. And you clueless liberals blamed Bush.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame came awfully close to inserting Malik Zaire into its biggest game in years last weekend.
As Notre Dame enters its second bye week in the 2014 season, let's take a look at how each position has fared so far:
1. Score early. The best way to quash Purdue's upset bid is with a few quick touchdowns and put a team that won one game a year ago into an early hole.
Malik Zaire's Notre Dame debut came in about the most ideal situation possible. And it went about as well as anyone could've expected.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- On Saturday, Notre Dame finally saw just how good its offense can be with Everett Golson at the helm.

Chemistry of Spices
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreSpices are high value, export-oriented crops used extensively in food and beverage flavourings, medicines, cosmetics and perfumes. Interest is growing however in the theoretical and practical aspects of the biosynthetic mechanisms of active components in spices as well as the relationship between the biological activity and chemical structure of these secondary metabolites. A wide variety of phenolic substances and amides derived from spices have been found to possess potent chemopreventive, anti-mutagenic, anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties.Representing the first discussion of the chemical properties of a wide cross section of important spices, this book covers extensively the three broad categories of plant-derived natural products: the terpenoids, the alkaloids and the phenyl propanoids and allied phenolic compounds. Spice crops such as black pepper, ginger, turmeric and coriander are covered with information on botany, composition, uses, chemistry, international specifications and the properties of a broad range of common and uncommon spices. less

Scramble for .Africa heats up
GOVERNMENT| Aug. 18, 2011, 2:06 p.m.
Africa can soon look forward to having its own online space, with plans firmly afoot to introduce a continental .africa generic Top Level Domain by 2013.
This is according to the African Registry Consortium (ARC), a pan-African consortium that aims to administer the .africa domain by Africa and for Africa. Regions like Asia and Europe already making use of similar domain names. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will have the final say in who administers the domain.
Several of the players involved in ARC are also involved in the administration of the co.za domain name space in South Africa, which is currently under the administration of UniForum SA.The same EPP technology currently being implemented for co.za and other .za second level domains, will be utilised for the .africa domain idf ARC has its way. "We see .africa as the ideal opportunity to highlight African know-how and expertise", said ARC Spokesman and founding member, Koffi Fabrice Djossou.
One only has to look at how the co.za domain funds are applied by UniForum SA, to see the benefits of having the .africa domain administered by an African organisation. UniForum`sco.za social responsibility initiative, for instance, launches at least two new computer labs at previously disadvantaged schools every single month, with more than 200 labs having already been completed.
"This new domain will give the continent a truly African identity for the first time and will allow companies and organisations operating here to proudly highlight their African operations and identity,"says Djossou.
The goal is to promote an African identity for the continent while at the same time improving the security aspects around such a domain.
"ARC is seeking the backing of the African Union, as the AU has also recognised the commercial and social benefits that the .africa domain may present. For example, there is always a concern regarding what happens to the fees paid for domains. In this regard, ARC is building a multi-stakeholder model for Africa and funds will go to the pan-African Internet organisations where it will be used to promote ICT, and in particialr DNS, development and education," he says.
At present, continues Djossou, ARC includes representatives from Senegal, Kenya, Benin and South Africa, and the door remains open to other African nations that may express interest in getting involved with ARC. ARC is also keenly interested in developing the African gTLD registrar community and in doing so to encourage ICT enterprise development on the continent.
"ARC sees its role as being one of assisting to promote African ICT development, to create additional value for Africa, and to impact on the social and economic development within the continent. This can only be achieved with an African-based administrator, who understands these important considerations and the african domain name environment. After all, when an organisation purchases a .com domain, the money doesn't remain in Africa; ARC wants to ensure that when it comes to the .africa domain, the same thing does not happen."
"ARC aims to bring this same mentality to the task of delivering similar types of benefits to the continent, focusing on those areas where there is a desperate need to improve ICT services and training."
He says that when the .africa domains begin appearing – around the start of 2013, according to ICANN – it will truly revolutionise the domain name space within Africa, enabling the continent toproudly identify itself. Furthermore, says Djossou, a little further down the line the domain will begin appearing in other languages, such as French and Arabic.
"ARC aims to continue to seek additional support from the various African communities and to make Africa more aware of the benefits of having the .africa domain. ARC is not only run by Africans, for Africans, but it utilises African technology and know-how to do so. We believe it is time for Africans to innovate, rather than simply copying others. ARC's goal is to drive African innovation and help Africans to rely on their own resources, rather than always looking to other parts of the world for answers," concludes Djossou.

Chile's IPSA select stock index closed sharply lower Friday, as investors factor in expectations of reduced economic stimulus by the U.S. Federal Reserve and slower growth in China, which could reduce appetite for Chile's exports.
The IPSA ended 0.9% lower at 4197.29, while market volume fell to 72.83 billion Chilean pesos ($149.27 million) from CLP101.12 billion Thursday.
China and the U.S. are the main destinations for Chile's natural-resource-based exports.
Among commodities-related companies, integrated iron ore and steel producer CAP (CAP.SN) slid 2.6% to CLP12,916.00 while pulp and paper producer CMPC (CMPC.SN) shed 0.9% to CLP1,662.70.
On of the biggest decliners of the session was BCI bank, tumbling 4.7% to close at CLP30,942.00 after announcing it was acquiring City National Bank of Florida for $882.8 million. It will finance the acquisition through the issue of new shares or bonds, the bank said in a statement.
"The market is making the initial calculations of whether this was beneficial to the bank or not," said Rodrigo Andaur, head of equity research at invertironline-FIT. He added investors are weary of yet another capital increase, one of a long line of new share issues scheduled for this year.

Ask the Experts: Bring Down Blood Pressure
Updated: Tuesday, October 22 2013, 08:14 AM EDT
CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) -- What can you do to bring down blood pressure naturally? Medical reporter Liz Bonis asks the experts at TriHealth to answer this question in today's Medical Edge.
A new report has some great ideas if you need to lower your blood pressure, obviously not in replacement of seeing your doctor and getting your medications, but add a few foods, a few changes in your lifestyle, could drop those numbers.
New guidelines -- are lower than some previously suggested says Dr. Matt Birkle, "right now the recommendation is to make sure that your blood pressure is less than 120 on the upper number and 80 on the lower number, so we'd like you to be below 120 over 80."
Researchers in this report, which comes from the a study conducted at Northwestern University, found getting to those numbers is critical because, "higher blood pressure if unmonitored, is higher risk for stroke, heart failure and kidney failure."
So to reach recommended numbers naturally, three things are suggested based on this research. First, drop your weight. Even a loss of five pounds can bring blood pressure down significantly.
Second, up your exercise. Just ten extra minutes of uninterrupted activity can work against higher blood pressure numbers.
Add six foods to your diet that are high in potassium or calcium. These include: bananas, potatoes, leafy green vegetables, legumes, low fat milk and yogurt.
It's also suggested you keep tabs on your blood pressure and know your number because you can't feel that it's too high often until something is seriously wrong. Says Dr. Birkle , "that's the hardest thing, is that is can be a hidden item which is the hardest thing for people to understand, that you have to be proactive, you have to monitor and you have to get it taken care of , because you really can't detect it until you end up with organ damage."

John Legend - Who Did That to You?
Artist: John Legend
Producer: Paul Epworth
Album: Django Unchained Soundtrack
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 17 votes )
Despite the excitement surrounding the upcoming Tarantino flick, along with Ricky Rozay and producer Jamie Foxx' star power, Django Unchained lead single 100 Black Coffins failed to wow listeners in the Booth. (One reader's reaction was, and I quote, "Blaaaaah.") An inauspicious beginning, to be sure, but there's no better cure for a flop lead single than a killer follow-up, and unless my ears deceive me, John Legend's contribution to the soundtrack seems to fit that description. A throwback soul banger with a bloodthirsty twist, Who Did That to You? finds the G.O.O.D. Music soul man drawing inspiration from the film's vigilante-justice theme over Paul Epworth's bluesy sample work. Has Legend succeeded in chasing away the 'blah's with this finger-snapping selection? As always, you get to lay down the final verdict. If you're feeling it, you'll be able to cop the Django Unchained soundtrack on Tuesday, December 18, in anticipation of the flick's December 25, theatrical release.
