I've lived near a pot club and have taken a look at several more - with street names and art on the product labels, and with the customers lined up who look like something out of a Cheech and Chong movie, these places really tell on themselves: a dispensary is clearly no CVS or Walgreens, but an end-around by and for potheads. Only a few of the "customers" obtain pot for the right reason, like my sister who lost her life to cancer. In reality, too few of the customers have legitimate medical needs. The honest ones will giggle about how they got their card. The prescription process is a joke.
Dispensaries can bring crime, like this recent example of a robbery and shooting: http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Security-guard-shot-3-times-during-5019482.php What is the panel's plan for security?
A dispensary or club in violation of federal law is not the answer. Medicinal marijuana, if legit, should only be prescribed through a traditionally licensed FDA approved pharmacy. Keep these dispensaries far away from our community. If you want to make it legal for recreational use, then make it legal (again at the federal level), but quit this less-than-legitimate OMMP charade.
GOVERNment seems a restrictive entity. The definition of govern, has control and restrict in it's definition. HMMM...
I would hope my state elected officials would defend a persons RIGHT with equal vigor to have a dispensary as much as they would defend the gun rights of Oregonians. Especially law enforcement. I have no problem with democracy. By the people, for the people.
I would like to know that a county sheriff would defend my pot smoking FRIENDS the same as my FRIENDS who don't smoke pot.
I don't want to regurgitate pot history here but if this whole thing doesn't revolve around money and revenue, WOW.
Somebody asked me if the should tax pot. I responded, I guess, they tax everything else. He responded, " Well I don't because the government is the biggest addict of them all." So true...
So in my mind, It is what it is. Next stop, legalization and all you people using the "But quit this less-than-legitimate OMMP charade" card, will need to pull a new one from your deck.

2012 Singapore Grand Prix lights up the night [spoilers]
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Sep 23rd, 2012 at 7:01PM
Though you might call the Singapore Grand Prix one of the newer expansion races on the Formula One calendar, its roots actually trace back to 1966 when it was run as part of the (long since defunct) Formula Libre. It came back in 2008 as part of the Formula One World Championship, though, and its first night race at that. In the four years it's been run prior to today, Fernando Alonso won twice, and Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel each won once under the massive flood lamps at Marina Bay. Would one of these champions win it again, or would a new race winner be crowned? Keep reading to... Read More

Peace Corps Selects College for Prep Program
Unique Curriculum to Begin Fall 2014
March 18, 2014
Signing the agreement are (left) Peace Corps Cincinnati representative Katie Sylvester and Erika Goodwin, vice president for academic affairs. Looking on are: Tom Stillwell, associate professor of agriculture and a Peace Corps veteran; Tammy Fraser, director of career services; Mark Denniston, director, WC Work Program; Eric Guindon, director of the Peace Resource Center; Al Conklin, professor of chemistry and agriculture and a Peace Corps veteran; and Ron Rembert, professor of philosophy.
WC is among six colleges and universities newly selected for the Peace Corps Prep program based upon the institutions' demonstrated interest in promoting international learning and service opportunities to their students.
Carrie Hessler-Radelet, acting director of the Peace Corps, said the partnership is an example of its growing efforts to "foster stronger collaboration" with schools like Wilmington in preparing civic-minded students for international service.
Students with sophomore class standing and higher can apply to WC's new Peace Corps Prep program beginning with the fall 2014 semester. It's being administrated by Eric Guindon, coordinator of the Peace Resource Center at WC, and Tammy Fraser, director of Career Services.
They indicated that the College had much of the Peace Corps' desired criteria already in place.
"Wilmington's commitment to service and a global focus in our general education requirements align perfectly with the Peace Corps' mission to provide trained service while promoting intercultural understanding," Guindon said.
He noted that the College has "historically strong ties" to the Peace Corps. Indeed, two faculty members are Peace Corps returned volunteers and will be part of the campus committee that will review and select applicants.
Guindon spoke of a "values alignment" that exists between the College and Corps, and added that many WC students have been meeting most of the requirements by virtue of their taking advantage of the College's hallmark for hands-on learning.
Requirements for Peace Corps Prep at WC include a minimum of 100 hours of service as an undergraduate, coursework featuring Spanish and global awareness, experiential learning and a focus upon content knowledge in agriculture, education or health care. Also, other outside-the-classroom programming will be featured.
Students completing the Prep program will be recognized at their WC Commencement ceremony, in addition to earning priority consideration for opportunities in the Peace Corps.
Fraser said a stint in the Peace Corps not only can be a personally rewarding experience but also one that enhances one's career preparation and opportunities.
"Peace Corps provides its volunteers with high level work experience, as well as the opportunity to make a difference in the world," she said, noting they often lead projects, make critical decisions and work under limited supervision in their fields.
Additionally, the communication skills and cultural literacy they develop as a result of their international work experience provides them with unique qualifications when they return to the U.S. workforce, she added.
"How many job candidates can say they have successfully lived in and learned to navigate a new culture for two years, collaborated effectively with diverse community partners in solving critical problems and conducted business in a language other than English?" she posed.
"In our increasingly diverse global market, it can be a huge asset to have employees that bring not only a different cultural awareness, but also a fresh perspective from what they have learned in other parts of the world," she said. "Plus, a candidate that has dedicated two years of their life to service also demonstrates an ability to commit to working toward a challenging mission."

The show was very good. I did not think it was better then Mystere as an athletic, acrobatic, talent-filled show, but the set was awesome, and the talent was still amazing!! If you get the "wet seats" you will get WET!! We got soaked which was funny, but not the most enjoyable. I will not see it again, but we had a great time.
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
Best show in Vega, we love the show [...] Would see it all over again.
[...] it was worth it. The acrobats and how the stage turns from water to sand to land back to water is absolutley amazing. I plan to see the show again[...]

Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus slips out of place and into the vaginal canal. The severity of uterine prolapse is defined as:
- First degree—the cervix protrudes into the lower part of the vagina
- Second degree—the cervix protrudes past the vaginal opening
- Third degree—the entire uterus protrudes past the vaginal opening
The uterus is normally supported by pelvic connective tissue. It is held in position by special ligaments. Weakening of the tissue causes the uterus to descend into the vaginal canal.
Risk Factors
Increasing age and white race increase your chances of having uterine prolapse. Other factors include:
- Multiple vaginal deliveries
- Post- menopause
- Obesity
- Straining caused by chronic cough , constipation , or heavy lifting
Symptoms may include:
- Pelvic pressure
- A feeling of vaginal fullness or heaviness
- A feeling of pulling in the pelvis
- Vaginal discharge
- Urinary urgency and frequency
- Urination when laughing, sneezing, coughing, or exercising
- Protrusion of pink tissue from the vagina that may be irritated or itchy
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. Uterine prolapse that has no symptoms may be diagnosed during routine examinations. Your doctor may refer you to a gynecologist, who will do a pelvic exam.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. First or second degree prolapse without symptoms may not require treatment. Treatment options include:
Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises involve tensing the muscles around the vagina and anus, holding for several seconds, then releasing. The repetition of this exercise will help to tone pelvic muscles.
Your doctor may recommend estrogen therapy. This may help prevent further weakness of the pelvic floor.
Pessary Insertion
Your doctor may insert a pessary into the upper portion of the vagina. A pessary is a rubbery, doughnut-shaped device. It helps to prop up the uterus and bladder. Pessary placement is more often used in older women.
Your doctor may insert a pessary into the upper portion of the vagina. A pessary is a rubbery, doughnut-shaped device. It helps to prop up the uterus and bladder. Pessary placement is more often used in older women.
Surgery may be needed for severe uterine prolapse. These procedures are usually not done until you have finished having children. Options include:
- Hysterectomy —This is the removal of the uterus. This will permanently resolve uterine prolapse.
- Vaginal repair—This is usually done with a hysterectomy. The repair can be done with sutures or with insertion of mesh and slings.
- Colpocleisis—This involves closing the vagina. It is done only in women who are elderly and who are no longer sexually active.
If you are diagnosed with uterine prolapse, follow your doctor's instructions .
To help prevent uterine prolapse:
- Do Kegel exercises .
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- To avoid constipation, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
- If you smoke, quit . Smoking may cause chronic coughing and weakening of connective tissues.
- Limit heavy lifting.

Well, first of all, you won't be able to solo heal Festergut at 3 stacks, the other healer has to pitch in at that point and possibly at 2 stacks as well. Make sure the tank is using correct CD's also during that part of the encounter. Rotface...there isn't a whole lot of damage that goes out on that fight, if there is it is usually because people are doing it wrong(ie: kite tank getting big ooze too close to Rot's tank, people standing in slime spray, etc) that isn't your fault, it's theirs. That said, your gemming is weird. +20 spirit is horrible, change it now! lol Also, do you really need that much intellect? I would gem...Luminous in yellows, Runed in reds and blues that have bad socket bonuses but places with good socket bonuses(ie: +7 or +9 spellpower) gem Purified or Royal dreadstones there. Your spec and glyphs are fine....What are you using to keep the tank up? He should ALWAYS have pw:s or weakend soul on him. But like I said, Festergut your other healer HAS to help tank heal after 2-3 inhales, he hits like a truck. Rotface tank damage isn't very bad, so if the tank is getting slammed he is either: a) not tanking correctly b) undergeared or c) taking splash damage from the big ooze. If it is c) then the kiting tank needs to alter his path a bit to avoid this.
Good luck!

Psychology Prof Named President of International Association
Caroline Stanley Is President-Elect of the Constructivist Psychology Network
November 27, 2012
Caroline Stanley, Ph.D.
The Constructivist Psychology Network elected Wilmington College's Caroline Stanley to serve as its next president.
Stanley, an assistant professor of psychology, has been a faculty member at the College since 2010. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Memphis.
The Constructivist Psychology Network is an international organization of psychologists interested in constructivist approaches to psychology, according to Stanley, who will assume the office in summer 2014.
"The constructivist approach focuses on meaning-making and the process of personal change," she said.
Stanley, who first became involved with CPN as a student volunteer, subsequently served as newsletter editor, co-chair of the outreach committee and assistant program director for the association's 15th biennial conference last summer. In 2010, she was elected to a four-year term as CPN secretary.
In addition to allowing her to develop new leadership and communication skills, Stanley believes that her serving as president will have a direct benefit to her students.
"As a prime position for professional networking, the CPN presidency will pave the way for new partnerships and thus enhance the educational mentoring and career opportunities that I could provide for Wilmington College students," she said.
Indeed, Stanley co-authored with three of her students a paper presented at last summer's CPN conference in Arlington, Tex. Seniors Zach Glendening and Michelle Hatfield and junior Cheryl Boldoser co-wrote the research piece titled "Fixed-Role Enactment as a Pedagogical Tool for Personality Psychology Students."

> funny things to say
"And the entirety of the Chevrolets, Buicks, GMCs and Cadillacs that were launched to huge acclaim in '09, '10, '11 and '12 were conceived, designed, engineered and sent on their three-to-four year journey to introduction by the "old", pre-bankruptcy GM team. You know, the incompetent, slow, clueless, unimaginative bunch led by Rick Wagoner, Fritz Henderson and myself. WE did every one of those winning products for which some 90-day wonders would now like to be retroactively credited."
Sounds like Bob Lutz had some good input. I judge him as a rational fellow who understood the car business.
Of course, that bunch was also at the wheel for some bad times. But I digress...
I just liked this line: "But to suggest that he is the architect of GM's current success is a bit like crediting the rooster with making the sun come up."
We need more execs with personality.
Do you ever hear of a personality laden BMW executive?
Back in 1998 I had a very enjoyable dinner with Vic Doolan and Karl-Heinz Kalbfell. It was anything but boring.
Mine: 1995 318ti Club Sport 1975 2002A 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 1999 Wrangler 1996 Speed Triple Challenge Cup Replica Wife's: 2009 328i Son's: 2004 X3 2.5
Well, you know what I mean, assuming both types of execs are of relatively equal skill.
Comparing BMW with GM is kind of tough, completely different reasons for existing and different structures.
Yes and no. Both are in the business of selling vehicles for profit. Target demographic are different, but execs for both companies should know both their product and their market.
I agree that, all things being equal, personality trumps blandness. But i would rather have bland and competent rather than full of bluster and clueless.
Apples and oranges as corporations go, though. Freude am Fahren vs Jack of all trades, master of none (or few). The former will easily be able to create nice profit margins. Add in the completely different labor and national corporate environments, I can't see how they can be compared other than that they both make cars.
Sadly, with what must be the vast majority of execs on this continent over the past few decades being ineffective grossly overpaid cloned sheep with identical MBAs, we get neither personality nor ability.
"Of course, there's no confusing the new car with the old in the metal, and once you actually drive it, you'll have to admit the 2014 Chevrolet Impala finally has what it takes to compete for real customers.
The best part is the 8-inch MyLink touchscreen interface for audio, navigation and phone functions. It's easy to use if you've ever picked up a smartphone or tablet and it's a radical advance for the Impala, which never before had a factory nav system."
Chevy Finally Builds a Large Sedan for the 21st Century
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - firstname.lastname@example.com.
Funny, the Benz dash looks more like an American product to me than the Impala's! I think it's probably the woodgrain. The Impalas I saw at the Cleveland Auto Show had a glossy black dash decoration, which I like. But then, I like the tortoise shell door-grabs inside my brother-in-law's '05 Chrysler 300-C!
The interior of the Impala didn't seem all that big to me, at first try. GM used to be the absolute king of packaging vis-a-vis interior space versus exterior size--starting with the '77 big cars. But that's been lost.
To be fair, the MB went into production at the end of 2005, so the pictured car is a little dated now, too. MB does have a history of using a high gloss laminated wood that doesn't always look real.
The old Impala isn't really the biggest thing inside either - and I remember my rental had some weird headroom issue upon exit with the A-pillar. The new one has to be unbelievably better - it sure looks it.
The interior of the Impala didn't seem all that big to me, at first try. GM used to be the absolute king of packaging vis-a-vis interior space versus exterior size--starting with the '77 big cars. But that's been lost.
I'll have to revisit the Impala, maybe when they start hitting the showrooms. It was definitely lacking in shoulder room, compared to something like a '77 Impala. My guess is that it's probably more on par with a '78 Malibu for shoulder room, but more generous in legroom and headroom.
I think the high window sills, small windows in general, thick roof pillars, center console, might contribute to making the car feel smaller inside than it really is. Sometimes a smaller car can feel bigger inside, if the passenger cabin is open and airy. And color can make a huge difference, too.
What did you think of the two-tier dash / IP? Kind of reminds me of times when people put dash mats on their IP to protect from sun damage (or hide it).
Have to admit not fan of the twin-pod instrument cluster on this, or any other current vehicle; they are pretty overdone and look rather bulky because of the overly large plastic surrounds.
At first exterior glance it reminded me of the current Accord with a quarter-panel line of the Buick. I'm wondering how well it's going to age / stay fresh.
Not knocks on GM / Chevrolet / Impala, it should serve that market well, just my impressions.
I like the front-end styling of the Impala--seems more upscale to me than other cars, but I'm a traditionalist. I think it doesn't have the 'alien' or 'insectoid' look of long headlights almost reaching the windshield pillars that some of the Asian cars do. Lemko first used those terms here and I was like "Yes! That's exactly what I think too, but couldn't express in the right way!".
Speaking of room in the Impala...I know this isn't the end-all of space utilization, but the '14 Impala is on a 111.7 inch wheelbase...actually less than a '12 Malibu which was 112.3. I'm only 5'8", but I think our Malibu ('11) has terrific rear-seat legroom...I remember one mag calling it 'limo like'. You do sit low in the car which I'm not crazy about though.
You, Lemko and I share the same sentiment on the headlights - I can't stand those things :mad: !! I first noticed the elongated lights on the Nissans (370Z and the spears on the Maxima) or maybe the last-gen Celica, then seems like everyone else just went bigger and longer. I don't like the bug-eyes on the Spark either,such a small car with such BIG EYES, akin to Red Riding Hood saying the same about "Grandma Wolf".
I just still wish for a RWD Impala, just an old diehard I guess. But anytime I get saddened I can just hop in the '65, take a spin and the world becomes right again. :shades:
Count me in, on those feelings toward the bug-eyed/insectoid/alien looking headlights.
Actually, one of the first cars I can remember having headlights I really didn't like was the 1992 Pontiac Grand Am. Although in retrospect, they look downright tame, almost tasteful.
I didn't really care for the headlights on the Intrepid when it came out for 1998. They just seemed too big, overall, in relation to the car. But, I got used to them I guess, or at least it wasn't enough of a deterrent, as I bought a 2000.
And yeah, a RWD Impala would be cool. Or, even just a civilian Caprice. I know people like the perceived bad weather safety of FWD, but is RWD really that bad these days? We had about 3" of thick, wet snow here today, and some of the road surfaces were pretty bad. I drove my 2012 Ram to work, a truck with RWD, a light rear end, and a lot of power. I couldn't get that thing to spin out or skid, to save my life! :P
At one point, in a safe, desolate area, I tried to punch it going around a corner to see if I could get the rear end to brake loose. Nope. Where's the fun in that?

This powerful predator roams the Americas, where it is also known as a puma, cougar, and catamount. This big cat of many names is also found in many habitats, from Florida swamps to Canadian forests.
Mountain lions like to prey on deer, though they also eat smaller animals such as coyotes, porcupines, and raccoons. They usually hunt at night or during the gloaming hours of dawn and dusk. These cats employ a blend of stealth and power, stalking their prey until an opportunity arrives to pounce, then going for the back of the neck with a fatal bite. They will hide large carcasses and feed on them for several days.
Mountain lions once roamed nearly all of the United States. They were prized by hunters and despised by farmers and ranchers who suffered livestock losses at their hands. Subsequently, by the dawn of the 20th century, mountain lions were eliminated from nearly all of their range in the Midwest and Eastern U.S.—though the endangered Florida panther survives.
Today, whitetail deer populations have rebounded over much of the mountain lion's former range and a few animals have appeared in more eastern states such as Missouri and Arkansas. Some biologists believe that these big cats could eventually recolonize much of their Midwest and Eastern range—if humans allow them to do so. In most western U.S. states and Canadian provinces, populations are considered sustainable enough to allow managed sport hunting.
Mountain lions require a lot of room—only a few cats can survive in a 30-square-mile (78-square-kilometer) range. They are solitary and shy animals, seldom seen by humans. While they do occasionally attack people—usually children or solitary adults—statistics show that, on average, there are only four attacks and one human fatality each year in all of the U.S. and Canada.

Rico Espinet is known for creating striking, poetic environments that combine clean lines and simple forms. Reflecting his training as a sculptor, Ricos design sensibility is grounded in materials and values that endure. His spaces mix furnishings, lighting, accessories, industrial objects, and fine art in settings at once comfortable and freshly discerning.
Ricos work is the culmination of lifelong interests in art, architecture, performance, philosophy and history. After graduation with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design, his passion for sculpture evolved into art installations, where the placement of objects and careful lighting heightened the viewers experience. A gift for lighting transported him to New Yorks downtown music scene and the world of high fashion. Throughout the 1980s, Rico created the stage lighting for musical showcases of artists like Marianne Faithfull, Television, Gang of Four, Pylon, Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, and Run DMC, to name a few. Lighting projects for fashion designers Stephen Sprouse and Isabel Toledo led to several years as a visual lighting consultant for Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York, and Ralph Lauren. Rico received two Gene Moore lighting prizes, for Polo Sport windows and a Comme des Garcons installation created by Simon Doonan.
In the mid-1990s, Rico returned to his studio, a converted elementary school, in the Amish community of rural Stone Arabia, New York, to work on commissions and create what would become his first lighting line. His Monk Lamp, crafted with a microphone base, plumbing parts, and an industrial machinist shade, appeared in an international Hunter Douglas ad that ran for two years in many magazines, creating serious buzz and a lengthy waiting list. Jeffrey and Darlene Rose called, and for 16 years, Rico has designed residential and contract lighting for Robert Abbey, Inc. His popular Robert Abbey Lighting collections feature warm, often atmospheric light inspired by architectural forms and the beauty of everyday objects.See other lights/products from Rico Espinet

I've bought a number of rugs from Rugs USA which were beautiful. BUT THIS one is GORGEOUS. I love it
looove this rug. Colors are so vibrant and true to the website picture. Rug is thick and firmly tufted. Seems a really good price for a rug of this quality. It's a big feature of my living room and I'm so glad to have found it.
I recently spent some time in Florida on vacation, and the house I was staying at was furnished with the 8X10 version of this rug. I loved it so much that when I returned back home I bought the 5X7. It is very pretty, you will not regret this buy. Like others say, it does have a smidge more turquoise in it, but that is actually what I wanted after seeing it.
This rug was exactly what I was looking for. After seeing it on several other sites I already knew that the blue color was more of an aqua blue, but that matched my decor better anyway. The rug has a nice thickness to it and I haven't had any shedding issues. I definitley got the best deal on this rug on this site. Recommended!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I love this rug. I have had it for a year now and it still looks brand new. I have had many compliments on it I don't think anyone would ever guess that it is anything but expensive. The variation of textures gives it a great look. The blues are not green as one of the reviews indicates, but the darker shades have a slight, rich turquoise tone, rather than the gray-blue seen in the picture.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Excellent price, great quality and fast shipping. Very happyRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The colors really go together. I love the embrodered look of the design for the leaves. If I were to buy this one again I would go larger because it is so beautiful!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Title: Cute Theme but DON'T get the pkg, buy individually
Date: Mar 13, 2013
I ordered the deluxe pack only to end up returning it and ordering items separately because I did NOT like the color combination they put with it - the table cover is teal, and as another reviewer stated, the design goes much better with powder blue. I ended up getting the two-two train plates, napkins, cups and centerpiece and paired it with the navy tablecover, red forks & spoons, pastel blue dinner & dessert plates, and cups (solid color items are much less expensive than the design and this way it was a nice combination while saving me money). Also got the mid blue matte train balloons and #2 balloons along with the plain red matte balloons with red balloon weights. I must say it all looked great together!

My little boy loves trains and he loved this Choo Choo design the moment he saw it. All of the products are good quality and lived up to my expectations. Celebrate Express always ships my orders fast and I have never had a problem with their products. One suggestion is to also make cake toppers for this design.

the product was not as good as other deluxe packages that i have purchased from the company. The items in the package didn't include somethings other packages did (ie. dessert plates, plastic tablecloth instead of the paper one, etc.) In addition, the product box came damaged with the centerpiece, placemats and plates damaged and I couldn't order a new one because the party was two days later.

Title: Perfect 2 yr old train party!
Date: Jun 27, 2011
I decided on this theme for my son because he loves trains and I didn't want the main stream train themes available everywhere. It all looked great! We got so many compliments on the decor and red/lime/blue color scheme. I recommend using powder or baby blue accents since the blue in the Two Two Train decor is more along that color then the aqua or turquoise that is paired with it.

In the late 1980s, the U.S. Navy was in disarray dogged by scandal and plagued by poor training and low morale. Yet during the Gulf War, it was a model of efficiency and effectiveness.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS traces the remarkable transformation that saw the Navy dominate the waves during the Gulf War, and revisits some of the troubling incidents of the late '80s that serve as a warning of what might happen again. High-ranking officials including former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger recall the tragic Stark incident, when a Navy frigate patrolling the Gulf before the war was literally caught with its weapons down by an Iraqi fighter.
37 seamen were killed, and the subsequent investigation led to the resignation of most of the Stark's officers. And revisit the death of 5 Turkish officers at the hand of an American crew during NATO exercises.

It's no secret that New Yorkers are hurting for jobs. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been touring the state pushing for a bill that would help create more high tech jobs. Barry Wygel met up with Gillibrand in Massena and has the details on her plan.
MASSENA, N.Y. -- Since 2005, New York has lost more than 123,000 manufacturing jobs. "But despite these ongoing jobs losses, we've seen growth in advanced and high tech manufactures," said Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY.
It's those high-tech jobs that Senator Gillibrand hopes to bring to New York.
"Today I'm announcing a bill called the Made in America Manufacturing Act," said Gillibrand.
Gillibrand says one major roadblock New York businesses face to expand, is lack of capital. The new bill would provide businesses a chance to compete for federal funds.
"Winners of the competition would be eligible for grants up to $20 million," said Gillibrand.
Those grants include low-cost loans that can be used to help upgrade existing facilities. The program isn't entirely new. It resembles a program that is already in place at Clarkson University. "It takes funds. We're hitting up our alumni for a revolving loan fund," said Charles Thorpe, Clarkson University provost.
Thorpe said that Gillibrand's bill resembles the Clarkson plan on steroids. He also made the point that the manufacturing jobs of today aren't low-skilled factory jobs.
"The new manufacturing jobs of today are not back-breaking labor. They are safe. They are high-tech. They are high-innovation. They are high-skills. They are high-pay. They are highly connected," said Thorpe.
Gillibrand says she already has state and national support for her bill.
The Made in America Manufacturing Act would also help create job training programs.Gillibrand says more than 600,000 jobs went unfilled last year due to workers not having the correct training.

text: I've gone through the player and GM guides, and I feel pretty comfortable with the gist of everything. However, I feel everything will really come into place if I have a very detailed example of gameplay that covers combat, the general confusion of movement and distance and how speed factors in, being adjacent to opponents, and the different type of tests like opposed and especially advanced tests. Essentially I want to see what is covered on page 4 of Set 1's Player Guide, but covering many more different scenarios like the one's I've mentioned and minor things that may be overlooked by a true beginner. Any help would be appreciated!

Four Tickets To Christmas
Daily, from 11/08/2012 to 11/10/2012, 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
For directions click the following link: Chautauqua Suites
Family Life is returning to Mayville for this Dinner Theater! Four Tickets to Christmas is a delightfully fun, family friendly musical set in the year 1905. When the Richmonds—a family of touring musicians—realize they have no place to go for Christmas, they decide to spend the holiday at their grandparent's farm. From the moment they arrive it's clear that time has not healed all wounds. They are eventually forced to deal with a longstanding and long overlooked conflict. Join the family as they walk down a pathway marked with humility that ultimately leads to forgiveness and reconciliation. From toe tappers to moving ballads interwoven with memorable Christmas carols, the captivating score takes you in with a turn-of-the-century flavor that's sure to keep everyone in the family spellbound!
Tickets are $37.50 if purchased by November 4 and $42.50 if purchased the week of the event. The doors open at 5:45 pm and the dinner begins at 6:30 pm.
Tickets can be purchased online or call the ticket office at 800-927-9083.

Three Poems
These three poems are meditations on the way women experience the world. I believe that art can advocate for change, and I hope my poems reflect this personal value.
A father takes his daughter to market,
asks how much she's worth. She sits
on one side of a scale while the vendor
loads cases of pomegranates
on the other. No, the father says,
I sent her to school. The vendor opens
a toolbox, takes out a light bulb, checks
the filament before screwing it
into her ear. Okay, he says and starts
stacking timber and nails on the scale.
In the next stall, a young woman earns
her weight in sea glass and silk. The father
gestures toward her, wants to know why
his daughter isn't worth so much. That girl
is a whore, says the vendor. And my
daughter is not? asks the father.
She looks at the timber and sighs. The vendor
checks her pulse at her wrist and neck.
She's no whore, he says. The father nods.
No worry, the vendor says, putting
the girl on a cinderblock toward the back.
Someone will buy your daughter.
Let me call her Kali
though the goddess is blue.
In India, no one pretends
to believe in equality; perhaps
it's easier to live without that lie.
The teacher weighs the children,
spoons out chickpea and lentil.
Because it is hotter in the windowless
classroom, I take the children outside
and am chastised for drawing in the dirt
with a stick. The old man acts as if I've
written on his house. Who owns this dry
plot anyway? The girls giggle and hopscotch
on one foot, even the one whose name I will
lose. I'm reluctant to give her my mother's
ring, though this girl offers me the swollen
trunk of her arm, the nail bed of her thumb
bloated, celery-green.
Her Mortal Part
At the Padre Pio shrine,
my sister kneels, genuflects,
her face among the snakes
at Mary's feet. I light a votive,
thinking how she has stood
at her mirror, studied every arc
and plane of her skin, the neat
camber of her breasts, her hips,
played over and over all
that she finds flawed. What makes
a body open from the center,
fill with light, until it glows, until it
almost burns? Some are born
with God's thumbnail in their wrist.
"Tender" explores the way men may define the worth of women. Readers do not expect the father to be selling the daughter when they go to market. Here I tried to imagine what an educated woman is worth: is it something practical like timber and nails? And what about the prostitute: what is she worth to the men who shop at this bazaar?
"Let me call her Kali" was inspired by an experience I had volunteering in Dharamsala, India, in June 2007. The poem is about offering oneself to another.
"Her Mortal Part" is about body image. Many women and girls suffer psychologically and physically from the unhealthy expectations they believe they are supposed to meet. To accentuate one young woman's suffering I compared it to Padre Pio's stigmata.
"Tender" has previously appeared in HerMark 2009.
"Let me call her Kali" is forthcoming in Whiskey Island Review.
"Her Mortal Part" has previously appeared in The Grolier Poetry Annual.

I second the crossfit recommendation. They give advice on equipment and how to use it to achieve an extremely high OVERALL fitness level.link
answered Sep 03 '11 at 20:43
A bench, a table, a pull-up bar (rings if you prefer, I recommend adjustable ones), and your body. Check out Convict Conditioning to see how to put all of these things to use. If you want a little more equipment because you don't think your body can make you strong by itself, pick up a copy of Power To The People and get the equipment listed in it (a chair, and a barbell are the only two things I remember, though I'm sure there's more). (For the record, I am in no way affiliated with Dragon Door Publications.)link
answered Sep 04 '11 at 18:52
Kettlebells. They take little space, and will kick your ass. Use the book Enter the Kettlebell by Pavel as your workout guide, start with the program minimum, and move on to the rite of passage. These two programs, more than any others, made me stronger and leaner.link

I have used the Hoist Multi-Gym H-100, with the leg press, for several years. It provides SMOOTH and CONSISTENT resistance; is extremely well made and, after years of use, still looks new.
I got the unit with the articulated arms and recommend them, but YMMV.
When you look up home gyms, Hoist is not normally at the top of Google's hit list. Don't let that discourage you. This unit was recommended to me by a personal trainer and I have never regretted buying it.
