Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) is an environmental justice non-profit organization based in the South Bronx, New York. They work to create change in under-served neighborhoods through environmental education, job training and the greening of public space. Environmental justice means that residents of low income neighborhoods deserve a share of environmental benefits, such as healthy outdoor spaces, and should not shoulder disproportionate environmental burdens, such as air pollution. This, statistically, is not the case in America today. SSBx empowers local individuals and the community at large through a green-collar job training program, environmental education and community greening programs.
One of our projects for SSBx was to support their 2010 Living With the Trees block party, an annual event that celebrates and informs residents about the years greening accomplishments, provides opportunities for environmental education and gets people involved in outdoor activities and environmental projects. We designed the visual identity for their 2010 block party, including the event logo, invitations and t-shirts. Since this design was meant to engage the community, especially children, we opted for something fresh, colorful and enthusiastic. Keeping in line with both TYTHEdesign and SSBx's values we opted for lighter amounts of ink to cut both environmental and printing costs.
We also designed the organizations brochure, which is targeted at stakeholders and needed to communicate SSBx's achievements and mission as clearly and effectively as possible to support their work. We employed the same design language that we used to promote the block party, but here our design was heavier on text and therefore more straightforward about communicating the accomplishments and value of SSBx's work. We designed the brochure to be printed on 8.5 by 11 paper both to avoid paper waste from bleed trimming, and so that the organization could print it themselves on a standard printer as needed.

Thank you Tommy for sharing your energetic and balanced practice with us. i feels lightly elated.

Oh wow, my spine never felt so good in the morning

Wow! That was the easiest chaturanga I've ever done! I usually struggle with alignment and really dislike the pose.
, posted on October 25, 2014
The sequences are great, and I really feel the effects. However, the instructor is so irritating and smug. And his poor obedient wife... When she thanks him at the end, I want to shout at the screen! I do love the exercises though, so I keep watching :)

Wonderful start to the day, thanks!

Great practice that makes you feel great! Too bad that the teacher speaks throughout the practice though... it's hard to concentrate in your inner self when the teacher keeps talking...
, posted on September 4, 2014
I will definitely be keeping this in my rotation, especially for mornings when I'm feeling a little less flexible than usual. Great Kundalini warm-up ending with a few sun salutations to make you feel fantastic and ready to move throughout your day.
Thank you!

This is wonderful. I struggle with alot of upper back and neck tightness and this frees me up - I do it every morning and have seen results. My body feels like its full of energy afterwards.

I've done a different Yoga video everyday this week, looking for the one to both energize me and help with back pain, and I finally found it. Tommy Rosen is my new favorite instructor! Thank you!

What a wonderful way to wake up, to show up to the world and be the light ! Satnam

I had an awful, sharp pain in my upper back since the afternoon before I tried this one morning. I had a terrible sleep that night, as I kept waking up in significant pain. Lucky that this was the morning routine I tried for the first time the next day - I felt amazing for the entire rest of the day afterwards! This is the most transformative a 20 minute workout has ever been.

Every day that starts with this series feels better than the last. My spine is soo thankful!

Five stars are insufficient to convey the magnificence of this sequence. Have a great day!

Great morning workout. Opens up your spine. You are as old as your spine is so why not "wake it up" each morning too?
, posted on February 7, 2014
I am only 20 years old and deal with great upper back pain daily. I have yet to see a doctor to find out why exactly but have been managing through working out. This yoga opens my back incredibly. It will definitely be a daily fixture in my life now. Thank you so much for sharing such great technique, I can't believe how quick and easy it is. I feel completely ready for my day after doing this quick routine.

A great back and full spine awakening with lots of attention to feeling the results. Very nice quick wake up and ready for more challenge after!

I want to thank you so much for this video, I have been experiencing major back problems from an old injury and have had such difficulty getting better. This video has helped me strengthen my back and I am still working on it but wow what a difference. I feel better every time I practise this. I would recommend this to anyone who has back problems.

I get a rush to the head its really weird , when we have to hold the breath after an exercise , why is that? (I'm not out of breath or anything ) but it is a weird sensation. my stomach makes strange sounds even if I did not eat so i guess it works the digestive system pretty good as well!
, posted on April 10, 2013
Part of the reason we feel a head rush is because we are pulling a lot of oxygen in during these exercises. Of course holding the breath and straining a bit can cause this as well. When I hold the breath, it is really more of a pause than anything else. I am gentle in the pausing of my breath.
As for the belly, well, yes, we are working the digestive tract especially through breath of fire and other postures that have us moving and contracting the core. Hoping you are enjoying the series. Best, --Tommy Rosen

This is the first time I have done Kundalini it is a great way to wake up. I have small children and usually get off to a pretty slow start so this feels great. And my spine has recently been put though pregnancy, nursing and like Tommy have had a number of back issues and the waking the upper spine feels AWESOME!! Thanks Gaiam, this will definately be part of my morning rountine instead of just coffee!

I suffer from TMJ disorder and have extremely tight shoulders and neck. This was a wonderful way to bring energy to areas that are usually stagnant.

Simple, short, concise and useful. This is a wonderful morning practice. Glad to find this and will use again, often. He does a wonderful job of explaining and I love that it's a husband/wife team. I like that he explains this helped him with a back injury and also encourages to just do as much as we can do. He's adorable laugh when thanked at the end was a cherry on top. Thank you for having this, Gaiam!

Excellent, very energizing yet seems simple but with the breathing and the movement, you really feel energized and I especially like that it is so good for my spine and hope I do this one often.

I absolutely love this way to wake up. Energizes the breath and makes my back/spine come alive. This is a great practice for keeping the spine healthy during pregnancy.. Too bad I can't do the entire salutation!

When Fiction is "Super True"
Monday, July 18, 2011 by cyberacoustics
I read a lot, and I'm a big fan of Russian author Gary Shteyngart, so when his new book "Super Sad True Love Story" came out, I was really excited to dive in. I blew through it in about two days, loving the dystopian picture of the future he presented.
In Shteyngart's world, we're all linked together by devices called äppäräts, which hang around our necks and are the natural evolution of the smartphone. We can broadcast our thoughts, rank others around us on beauty (intelligence is no longer a commodity—people "text scan" instead of read), and get all of the information we need about anything and everything from the äppäräts. The whole thing is a little terrifying, and the fact that it's completely possible makes it even more so.
For a book that takes a dim view of the future and social media, it was certainly marketed using 21st century tactics. I mentioned how much I was enjoying it to my friends, and one of them pulled up the book trailer on youtube.
Book trailers are a relatively new thing (I remember working on some when I worked at an ad agency in 2004), but more and more publishing companies are making them part of their marketing repertoire. We laughed at the book trailer (it features James Franco!) and I immediately posted it on my facebook, where a few people liked it and said they were interested in reading it. Just like the publishing company wanted me to, I spread the word about this book through social media.
I was scanning TechCrunch on Friday, and Shteyngart popped up on the Internet AGAIN! This time, he was interviewed by one of the editors and spoke at length about the way social media and information-sharing are portrayed in his book. It's a fascinating interview; he makes a lot of good points about the erosion of privacy in our society, and how all the sharing that we do with everyone comes at a price. The irony of Shteyngart promoting a book that warns about the dangers of technology on a technology site was a little amusing, but the marketing plan for this book clearly makes use of social media as a tool.
One of the most compelling parts of "Super Sad True Love Story" for me personally was how in Shteyngart's future, no on reads physical books anymore. Young people say they smell bad, and the protagonist hoards them and hopes no one will accuse him of smelling like the books. As a lifelong reader, it really struck me as sad. I thought about how disturbing that was for a while.
Then I turned off my Kindle and went to sleep.

One person is dead and another in critical condition following a three alarm fire Sunday morning inside a Hell's Kitchen high-rise.
FDNY officials at the scene tell NY1 it began around 11 a.m. inside 500 West 43rd Street, also known as The Strand.
Flames and debris could be seen shooting out of the 20th floor apartment from Tenth Avenue and nearby buildings.
It took around 150 firefighters more than an hour and a half to get the flames under control.
Fire officials say no one was inside the apartment at the time.
Two male victims, ages 27 and 32, were later found in a stairwell on the 31st floor.
Police say the 27-year-old was taken to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital where he later died.
The Medical Examiner is working to determine the cause of death.
The 32-year-old was taken to New York Presbyterian in critical condition.
Fire officials say they suffered from smoke inhalation and other possible injuries.
Seven other residents suffered minor injuries.
One family that lives inside the building told NY1 they wasted no time getting themselves to safety.
"So, sorta panicked. We grabbed coats, I don't have shoes on or socks, and we ran to the stairwell, and we started to descend the stairwell but the smoke got thicker and denser and blacker to the point where we couldn't see the stairs or in front of us," said one resident.
"Many people self-evacuated. We try to give advice to stay in the apartment. In these types of buildings it's very important to stay in the apartment, in a fire-proof high-rise building designed to prevent fire extension," said FDNY Assistant Chief John Sudnick.
Four firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.

If you've just gotten an offer for publication of your debut novel, congratulations! Keep the celebration short, though, because you've got a lot of work to do ahead of its release. Before I got that magic phone call, I didn't realize how much an author has to do in preparation for a book launch. It's no longer a hobby; it's now a job. So here's a compact primer on the responsibilities you'll have during the gestation and birthing of a published book.

LEGO based projects have become a dime a dozen these days, and with access to so many new projects and ideas like never before– each project is bigger and better than the last. This project titled "Build Up Japan" was a great collaborative effort between a total of 5,000 people and a huge 3D map of Japan was the end result.
The twist on this particular collaboration was that the kids and volunteers across the workshop were allowed to come up with their own artistic interpretations of what they would like Japan to look like– instead of only re-creating existing structures. This clearly let imaginations run freely and the end result was a stunning display of art from our future creators!

Hell, no. No, I would probably go to—I'd probably break into some skyscraper penthouse apartment and lock myself in there and just cry. I'm nowhere near as tough as Daryl; I'm kind of a wimp. … I don't know what I would do to be honest. But I definitely don't think I'd be out sleeping in the woods.
How do you like playing somebody who lives off the land and is able to handle his crossbow and machete and all that kind of stuff?
It's definitely my favorite job I've ever done. It's kind of got this lesson aspect to it. I really like playing Daryl. He's becoming more and more complicated, which I find super interesting… But he can go out and he could live in the woods by himself, and he can handle himself in a zombie apocalypse. He's a hunter; he's a tracker. He hunts his own food. He can get along fine.
But he's got a different struggle than everybody else. You imagine growing up with a big brother like Merle and then you find out about his family history later on. But the thing about him is he's socially awkward; he can't emotionally have a connection with anybody. He doesn't trust anyone and he knows that people don't trust him. He knows the way that people look at him. So he's sort of like finding his place in this group with everybody else, but it's this sort of delicate give-and-take balance going back and forth.
Like they give a little, I give a little; they take a little, I take a lot. He's an asset to the group but he just can't sit around and chitchat. He doesn't want to talk about himself. He doesn't like the attention on him. And he doesn't like to get involved in other people's emotional drama. And then he's kind of watching these people like its television. He's studying who he can trust, who he can't trust; where his alliances are. He butts heads with people. He takes a leadership role from time to time and he just wants to belong, but he doesn't really lead them.
He seems to be almost getting along better with everyone as they're not getting along with each other.
That's exactly what's happening. If you're going to compare him to any other characters he's most like Carl to be honest. He's kind of got this childlike mentality about him. He's kind of discovering things in a new way in this new environment. So it's interesting. You see everyone, everybody just start deteriorating and he's sort of excelling.
He is. And he does just sort of take over—an "I'll take care of this" attitude. I'm thinking in the early episodes of the zombie autopsy.
Yeah. You know, he's not afraid. That scene we were going back and forth on who was going to do it and if he'd do that. It was initially written where I'm like, "Scoot over, let me do it." And the lines are kind of written like, "Get out of the way." [It was a] "who the fuck do you think you are" type of thing.
But I'm trying to play it like, which they let me do it—I'm trying to play that like I'm the pool boy, like I'm the gardener. I get the dirty work; I'll do it. Like I don't feel like I'm on the same level as everyone else. ... I'm trying to play it like I don't feel like I'm in the same social class as the rest of them. It gives me somewhere to go. It gives me opportunities to earn that, which I don't even know if Daryl at that point knows that's what he's doing. But as an actor playing this part I'm looking for places to go and things to prove and challenges to meet.
Was it difficult even maybe in the first season to make this guy likable? Or did you worry about it at all?
Well, I didn't really worry about it because I kind of had an idea of what to do. But I never ever had a conversation with Frank [Darabont] or with anybody directing those first three episodes I was in from the first season. But I never had one conversation with anybody about Daryl, not one conversation. So I had what was written on the page and it was kind of like, "Fuck you, you tried to stab me." And I really wanted to play him like yeah, he's a hothead and yeah, he'll cut you and yeah, he'll blow up at any second. But also, he lost his big brother, so I tried to have like some sensitive little moments in between the fuck yous and the squirrel-throwing and so forth.
Are you better known for "The Boondock Saints" or "The Walking Dead"?
Oh man, definitely Season 1 when it hit I was still probably a little "Boondockie," but I don't know. I think it's getting about even right now, I mean just from, you know, people on the street and so forth, but I don't know. I'm getting recognized a lot and it's a lot for Daryl.
I'm really blessed to be given the opportunity to play Daryl and like just from the amount of gifts I get. I get like, Zippos with Daryl Dixon on it and it'll say like "Redneck Badass." I get Bobbleheads, T-shirts, paintings. It's kind of awesome. I have a whole collection of Daryl stuff.
If Murphy and Daryl got into a fight and I'm sure you've been asked this before, who would win?
You know what I think would happen is I think they'd beat each bloody and then they'd probably start cracking up and become friends and go have a drink, that's probably what would happen. And I bet Murphy would break the ice. I think Murphy would see through Daryl and be like, "Yeah, let's have a drink," and Daryl would go, "Yeah, let's go."
Do you have a sort of favorite horror genre of monster--vampires, zombies, any of those kinds of things?
I kind of like the Japanese stuff. I like Godzilla, I like Mothra, I like stuff like that. If you mean like werewolf, mummy, zombie, vampire?
You've had experiences with vampires too, haven't you?
Well, you know, I did "Blade," but those are like some beefed up stupid Ninja vampires. I like the old vampire stuff. I like the Anne Rice stuff. One time I got invited to her Halloween party in New Orleans a long time ago and I wish to God I went to it. But I like vampires but then I don't like vampires with six-packs and like hair gel. And I like werewolves, but I don't like werewolves that look like lumberjacks. So I don't know. I like "An American Werewolf in London."
What's your favorite Daryl weapon?
A crossbow, of course. You can't not look cool holding a crossbow.
Thanks for your time and great job on the show.
Dude, thank you, man. I hope you faint a bunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust the trigger pull on my Mark V® rifle?
The Mark V® trigger assembly has two socket cap (Allen-type) adjusting screws. The socket cap screw on the bottom of the trigger assembly adjusts for weight and trigger pull, and is for your use. The socket cap screw on the top of the trigger assembly adjusts sear engagement and is for use by Weatherby factory and Authorized Service Center personnel only.
WARNING!! Do not attempt to adjust sear engagement, make any adjustments other than as described below, or modify the trigger assembly in any way. Improper adjustment or modification of any firearm trigger assembly can result in the firearm discharging prematurely due to a "hair trigger," minor bumps or movement, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. The trigger assembly has been set at the factory for weight of trigger pull appropriate for most shooters. If you require a heavier or lighter weight of trigger pull, adjust as follows:
1. Keeping the muzzle of the rifle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger at all times, unload the rifle as follows:
- Move the safety lever to the forward position to unlock the bolt.
- Raise the bolt handle and pull the bolt to the rear to extract and eject any chambered cartridge.
- Place one hand under the floorplate to catch cartridges to be removed from the magazine.
- With your free hand, press the floorplate release to open the floorplate and remove any cartridges from the magazine.
- Reposition the magazine follower inside the magazine and close the floorplate.
- Visually double check the chamber and the magazine to make sure there are no cartridges remaining in the rifle.
2. Removal of stock is not necessary. The socket cap adjusting screw is accessible through the opening in the trigger guard, just forward of the trigger.
3. To increase weight of trigger pull, with a hex key (Allen-type) wrench of the proper size, turn the bottom socket cap screw clockwise (when viewed from the bottom) until desired weight of trigger pull is established.
To decrease weight of trigger pull, with a hex key of proper size, turn the bottom socket cap screw counter-clockwise (when viewed from the bottom) until desired weight of trigger pull is established.
NOTE: For safety reasons, weight of trigger pull will not be adjusted below three pounds. To determine trigger weight requires use of a trigger scale.
4. After adjusting the trigger to the desired weight, engage the safety and pull the trigger to its limit. Release it slowly to ensure that it returns to the forward position. If the trigger does not return to its position, you have adjusted the trigger pull too lightly.

What choke tube should I use when using steel shot?
When using steel shot, you should only use stainless steel choke tubes with modified or larger chokes.
What does B.C. mean on the ballistic charts?
B.C. stands for ballistic coefficient.
Ballistic Coefficient (BC) is the ratio of a bullets sectional density to its coefficient of form, used to describe the bullets effectiveness in overcoming air resistance.
Nosler. Nosler Reloading Guide: fifth edition. USA: 2002
What does Weatherby® recommend as a break in procedure?
This barrel break-in procedure requires two boxes of ammunition to complete. Start out by shooting one round at a time, cleaning the barrel thoroughly after each round and allowing it to cool. This process should be followed for a total of ten rounds.
Then take the remaining thirty rounds and shoot ten three shot groups, cleaning the barrel thoroughly after each group and allowing it to cool completely before firing the next group. Once ten, three shot groups have been fired the barrel is adequately broken in. At this point the rifle can be sighted in and used.
What is the bolt diameter for a Mark V®?
The bolt diameter for the Mark V® 9 lug bolt is .842.
The bolt diameter for the Mark V® 6 lug bolt is .706.
What is the bolt diameter for the Vanguard®?

What is the rate of twist and how does it affect accuracy?
Twist- the rate of spiral of the rifling. Given as the barrel length required for making one full revolution: i.e., "one turn in ten inches," etc.
Nosler, Nosler Reloading Guide #6, November 2007
The rate of twist affects which bullets are the most stable in flight. This then determines the best accuracy for your rifle.
* It is important to note that the rate of twist is determined by the cartridge developer and is usually at the optimum twist rate for stability.

It was quite lovely here. You feel secluded because you are away from the main strip but you can walk there in a couple of minutes so its no problem. The staff was very helpful for everything we wanted to do. It was great. I definitely suggest it if you want to get away from the crazy hostel atmosphere for a while.

Pam was very helpful and kind and tried her best to help us out even though she was pregnant! Location is pretty good, about 5-10mins walk to the main area. However, food is prepared very slowly and the worst was the Wi-fi. There is absolutely no Wi-fi in the rooms and even in the lobby area, it is hard to connect and extremely slow. It also disconnects frequently, making it impossible to surf the internet. Many other travellers were also unhappy with this problem.

A new CDC analysis of autism prevalence shows a nearly 30 percent jump in cases between 2008 and 2010: that means 1 out of every 68 eight-year-olds in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disorder.
But health officials still don't agree on what's driving the increase. Debate continues to rage over whether the increase in cases is due to changing definitions and greater awareness of autism spectrum disorders, or if it's due to some environmental or other factor.
Karen Weintraub reports for USA Today:
…virtually every grade in every elementary school has at least one child with autism – a seemingly astonishing rise for a condition that was nearly unheard of a generation ago.
What's still unknown is the driver of that increase. Many experts believe the rise is largely due to better awareness and diagnosis rather than a true increase in the number of children with the condition."We don't know the extent those factors explain in terms of the increase, but we clearly know they do play a role," said Coleen Boyle, director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the CDC. "Our system tells us what's going on. It (only) gives us clues as to the why."
The aging of parents is also known to be a factor; the chances of autism increase with the age of parents at conception.
"But that's not the whole story is it?" said Robert Ring, chief science officer for Autism Speaks, a research and advocacy group. Whether something in the environment could be causing the uptick remains "the million-dollar question," Ring said.
Despite their concern, experts said they were not surprised by the increase, because other data had suggested the numbers would continue to climb. In New Jersey, for instance, autism rates were 50% higher than in the rest of the nation in 2000, and they remained that much higher in 2010 – suggesting the national rates will continue to rise to catch up, said Walter Zahorodny, a psychologist who directs the New Jersey Autism Study. "To me it seems like autism prevalence can only get higher," Continue reading

Parkland Foundation has received a $25,000 grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to provide meal assistance for family members of underprivileged Parkland Memorial Hospital patients. The funds are expected to impact 2,000 individuals through a new meal card program developed to address hunger within the Parkland patient community.
"This grant will help us provide Parkland cafeteria meal cards to families who either have extremely limited means or are in the throes of a catastrophic medical emergency," said Linda Wilkerson, director of pastoral care at Parkland Health and Hospital System. "Families like this come to Parkland every day. Offering a meal card for a hot meal or cup of coffee for those with few resources will help support them physically and emotionally, enabling them to better support their hospitalized family member."
The grant is part of ongoing investments by the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to address immediate critical needs, such as hunger and shelter, and longer term solutions that promote financial wellness through access to benefits and resources.

Feb. 5, 2013
TOPEKA Representatives of large, wind energy companies doing business in Kansas said today that proposed legislation to roll back the state's renewable energy standards could stall the industry's momentum in the state.
Utilities and alternative energy companies invested more than $3 billion in Kansas wind projects in 2012. And by the end of this year, the total amount invested in Kansas wind projects since 2001 is expected to climb to $7 billion. Wind farms have netted Kansas landowners $13 million in annual payments and created 13,000 jobs, the industry spokespersons said.
A state law that took effect in 2009 helped spur the development, they said. The law requires Kansas utilities to generate increasing amounts of power from renewable sources, reaching 20 percent of total output by 2020.
Bills under consideration in both the House and Senate would relax those standards. Senate Bill 82 would give utilities until 2024 to meet the 20 percent requirement and allow state regulators to waive the requirement for "good cause."
Matt Riley, chief executive officer Infinity Wind Power, a California-based company, told members of the Senate Utilities Committee on Tuesday that backing away from the standards would send a strong negative message to the industry.
"That would send a shockwave through our industry saying 'thank you very much for the $3 billion investment last year, but you're not welcome here anymore,'" Riley said.
Infinity operates two wind farms in southwest Kansas. It sells the power produced at them to Westar Energy and the Sunflower Electric Power Corp. The company currently is investing in two more large projects designed to ship Kansas wind power to other states once new transmission lines are built.
But Riley said policy changes like those being considered by the Legislature could cause his company to re-think its plans.
"Although Kansas has been a state of preference for Infinity, the surrounding states of Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa, to name a few, are poised to take advantage of an opportunity should Kansas present it," he said.
Holly Carias is director of wind development for NextEra Energy Inc., a Florida company that has invested $635 million in Kansas wind projects. She said the renewable energy standards signed into law by former Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson helped make Kansas one of the leading wind energy states in the nation, trailing only Texas and California in megawatt capacity installed.
"The existing renewable energy standard works," she said. "It has driven growth in the state."
Dave Trabert, president of the Kansas Policy Institute, a conservative think tank that advocates for lower taxes and smaller government, is expected to testify Wednesday in favor of eliminating the renewable standards.
"We have no objection to production of renewable energy," Trabert said in written testimony distributed to committee members on Tuesday. "Our objection is to government intervention that forces utility companies to purchase more expensive renewable energy and pass those costs on to consumers."
The policy institute's position mirrors that of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonprofit conservative group that promotes free markets and limited government. It has made repealing renewable energy standards one of its top priorities nationally. ALEC has generated controversy by recruiting state legislators to work alongside its corporate members to craft model legislation. Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, and House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stillwell Republican, both serve on ALEC's board of directors.
Carias said the wind energy her company produces for Kansas utilities is not any more expensive than the power the companies produce from their own generating units using coal and natural gas. But Trabert said a KPI study done with help from researchers at the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University indicated that the renewable standards could increase the cost of electricity in Kansas by 45 percent by 2020.
Former Kansas Senate President Dave Kerr also testified against the bill. He said he was skeptical of the KPI projections based on his experience as the chairman of the board for a Hutchinson company that produces ethanol.
"I have good reason to watch natural gas prices," said Kerr, who headed the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce after leaving the Senate. "Natural gas prices fluctuate. When somebody gives you an estimate that says wind prices are going to be far higher than natural gas, have they really given you a realistic projection of what natural gas could be?"

(D&M)Q Information Solutions LLC
A Risk Free Carrier Base Through Compliance Management
Cargo liability coverage:
Inland Marine Insurance/Ocean Marine Insurance A general term for a marine insurance policy that covers goods being transported by ship, truck, railroad, or airplane. This coverage insures against most perils to which the property may be subject. (NILS INSourceTM)
Critical: The laws/rules/guidelines that limit cargo damage payments to $1.50/lb are only valid in the absence of specified terms. This statement on the carrier's bill of lading is yours to either accept or reject. NEVER allow the carrier to stipulate the cargo coverage. ALWAYS specify the value of the load(s) on the Bill(s) of Lading or Shipper's Letter of Instruction that you have generated. Be sure that your contracts properly state how the cargo coverage must apply to the load(s) being hauled. Verify that the carrier's cargo coverage is in compliance with your load requirements for every shipment. This can only be done through use of Certificates of Liability Insurance.
Limit issues: pay very close attention to how the limits are structured. You will often see limits shown as:
Per Vehicle $100,000
Per Occurrence $150,000
Aggregate Limit $300,000
Per Catastrophe $500,000
All loads are being transported by one motor carrier, entire Cargo stated value is $150,000 and is being transported on two vehicles. For simplicity, the senarios below assume $0 for deductibles and the coverage has been defined as "All Risk" or "Broad Form".
Under this structure the insurance company's liability is as follows for the loads described:
Senario 1. Vehicle A's stated cargo value is $95,000 and vehicle B's is valued at $55,000. Vehicle A and B are involved in unrelated accidents and the Cargo on both vehicles are determined to be a total loss. The insurance company will pay the entire loss of $150,000. (Aggregate limit is reduced to $150,000)
Senario 2. Vehicle A's stated cargo value is $125,000 and vehicle B's is valued at $35,000. Vehicle A is involved in an accident and it's Cargo is determined to be a total loss. The insurance company is only liable for $100,000. The carrier is responsible to pay the shortfall of $25,000. However, your company is at risk as you could have been found negligent. Your company should have been aware of the insurance shortfall and taken action to prevent this condition from occurring. (Aggregate limit is reduced to $200,000)
Senario 3. Vehicle A's stated cargo value is $100,000 and vehicle B's is valued at $100,000. Vehicle A and B are involved in the same accident and the Cargo on both vehicles are determined to be a total loss. Because this is the same occurrence, the insurance company's liability is limited to the first $150,000. The motor carrier will be responsible to pay the shortfall of $50,000. Under these conditions, it is best to select unrelated companies to haul these types of loads as once again your company is at risk. (Aggregate limit is reduced to $150,000)
Senario 4. Four vehicle from Company A are each carrying a stated cargo value of $90,000. All vehicles are involved in unrelated cargo damage claims which reach full value for each load. The insurance company's liability is limited to the first $300,000. The motor carrier will be responsible to pay the shortfall of $60,000. Under these conditions, it is again best to select unrelated companies to haul these types of loads as yet again your company is at risk. (Aggregate limit is reduced to $0, the Cargo policy is cancelled)
A sudden event causing an extraordinary level of loss; most often associated with natural disasters such as tornados, hurricanes, floods or earthquakes. In insurance, it is applied to an incident or series of related incidents involving an insured loss in excess of $25 million.
Catastrophe Senario. Vehicle A's stated cargo value is $145,000 and vehicle B's is valued at $5,000. Vehicle A is overturned as a result of high winds caused by a tornado. The Cargo on vehicle A is determined to be a total loss. Although the per vehicle limit is $120,000 the cause of the accident is considered a catastrophe due to the wide spread damage. The insurance company is now liable for up to $500,000. The insurance will pay the total loss value of $145,000.
Suggestion: To best protect your clients when using a carrier with this type of coverage, pay very close attention to how a load is separated, it should not simply be governed by weight, size, or usage, but also by value. Doing this is the best option to protect your client's interests. If this is not possible, consider requiring contingent cargo insurance.
COINSURANCE: (an under-insured partial loss limit) If a carrier's cargo coverage is $100,000 and is
transporting a load with a stated value of $105,000 and there is a 50% loss ($52,500) the insurance company is only
liable for $50,000 of that loss, leaving a $2,500 shortfall.
Coinsurnace payment calculation: (cargo insurance/load value) x partial loss $
in this example: ($100k/$105k) x $52.5k = $50k
This example is only to show how Coinsurance effects the coverage. Usually a carrier will need to be underinsured by more than the policies specified percentage before Coinsurance becomes a factor.

The Federal Trade Commission's current investigation of search engine practices threatens to become the next crisis for Internet freedom and e-commerce; and it is a threat that has remained under the radar.
Many are wholly unaware of the current FTC effort (along with other probes from some state-level district attorneys around the U.S. and the European Commission) to pursue "fairness" in the online search marketplace. Of course, readers of this blog were clued into the emerging danger sooner than others, when last year NTU raised concerns over the FTC's actions.
Since then the concerns have intensified. Now, an NTU/IBOPE Zogby poll has revealed that the American people have no interest in such government interference in the search engine realm and they are quite happy with an already competitive batch of search options. The poll found 79 percent of respondents were against government regulation of search engines, and 76 percent thought more government involvement online would make the Internet worse for consumers.
So why is this even happening? As we saw with the uproar over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), when aggrieved interests with power and waning competitive strength join hands with a government eager to grow in power, the results can be damaging to the market and freedom - evoking intense public opposition. Right now the search engine investigation is in a more nascent stage, but the potential impacts of government search engine regulation are numerous.
Imagine an Internet search where the results were alphabetized. Imagine a search that pushed politician-approved results toward the top. Imagine asking Siri to find you the nearest McDonald's and being given the locations of 10 other chain restaurants as well. The useless (and disturbing) possibilities go on … Think of the security problems posed by removing a search engine's ability to prioritize your results? It's tough enough keeping children in the proper corners of the Internet; government-enforced "fairness" could potentially make that task even tougher, or end up giving the government vast search engine censorship powers in the name of security.
Ever since the online marketplace has been changing consumers' and taxpayers' lives for the better, governments have been proposing taxation and regulation schemes that would make matters worse. Besides the threats of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement and so-called "Net Neutrality" that NTU identified – not to mention the flap that many others raised over SOPA – government-backed investigations like FTC's should be on the watch list too.
If you are reading about this for the first time, there is a lot to take in, but this situation looks to be the next battleground in the fight over online freedom. Stay tuned to NTU.org and Government Bytes for more.

Solstice 2011 was my project at the church. I organized, designed, wrote, decorated for, paid for, and generally made the whole thing happen. Obviously I had LOTS of help from good friends, especially my choir director who filled in with beautiful music on the piano and harp, and my storyteller friend who listened to all my ideas and helped me refine them and made many creative suggestions. Also, there were the actors who played the Four Directions, the dancers who brought us joy during the Story, the singers in the choir, the contributors who provided the Disco Ball and other supplies, and the volunteers who brought food, helped move tables and chairs, or helped clean up afterwards. So though it was my baby and I know I did an awful lot of work myself, I also know I could never have pulled it off alone. I am very grateful to everyone who helped.
Recruiting others' help, and trusting them to handle different aspects of "my" project was a tough thing for me. Yet I have now learned a lot about how important it is to do just that. If I do this again I will certainly take these lessons to heart, and invest my time more in building a team than in trying to do everything myself. The way I did it was far too exhausting, and limiting.
Still, I don't blame myself for not knowing. It was my first attempt, and I'm proud that all together it did come out successfully. Besides doing this, I have also compiled a binder full of information, plans, contacts, etc. which I used to organize this event, and which I will pass on to the next organizer. Probably THAT will be my greater legacy. 90% of the stress of this job was in having no map to follow, no teacher, no recipe for how it was ever done before. This is my trail of breadcrumbs which I hope the next person will be able to take advantage of, to make organizing Solstice (or other holidays) a much clearer set of doable tasks instead of a foggy mountain of unknown requirements.
But this entry is just to remind myself that YES! I did something bigger than I ever thought I could. I ran a whole church service, and it turned out beautifully.

The larger woman faces many challenges in catering to her enlarged figure. While the rising rate of obesity in America has contributed to the launch and success of stores such as Torrid and Lane Bryant, which exclusively cater to the "fluffier" female, the sad fact is that many women simply don't understand how to dress themselves and avoid looking like the proverbial ten pounds of shit.
We questioned several fashion experts for their most secret tubby tips, and are pleased to offer them for you in tis exclusive VilTen featurette:
1. Vertical Stripes Slim
Muffi N'Top, editor of Fun Fearless Fatty, reminds us that stripes can work to a woman's advantage. "Vertical stripes draw the eye down and create the illusion of slimness," she offers. "Pinstripes can work, but the larger the figure, the larger the stripe needs to be in order to fool the observer. I recommend that the largest ladies take advantage of their surroundings, and stand behind convenient fences for maximum effect."
2. Baby's Got Black
"It's been a common fashion staple for decades that black is slimming. Larger ladies wanting to create an hourglass effect should look for tops that are color blocked: one large panel of bright color in the center, with panels of black on the sides. This pulls focus to the center and the black panels almost erase any side overflow that might be present." -Thun derThies, weekly fashion columnist, Chew Chew Momma
3. Buy Your Size
"You hit it right on the nail when you talked about the ten pounds of shit in a nine-pound bag – or in this case, a blouse," dishes Camille Tough, editor-in-chief of Maximum Intake. "Wearing skintight clothes, or clothes that aren't the correct size, when you're a larger person just makes you look even bigger. You look so much fatter when you have rolls erupting out of the top of your pants than if you'd just bought a size larger. Clothes that are fitted, and tailored to the figure without being tight, are always the way to go. We need to get over this preoccupation with size as a number and think more of size as a feeling and a look."
4. Open Your Legs
"Tapered trousers are suicide for a woman with large hips and buttocks," concludes Bught Crauque, features editor for Scales. "If the pant leg is slim, it creates an inverted triangle effect, and attention is drawn to the very area you want to de-emphasize. I recommend that larger women look for either wide-leg pants, or a pant that is fitted in the thigh and then is a flared or boot-cut shape at the bottom."

Perhaps one of the only devices that could ever be considered true competition for the iPad was the Amazon Kindle Fire, especially in its early days. One of the first cheap tablets, the Kindle Fire was—and still is—backed by an impressive ecosystem of easily-accessed content, which gave it a lot of edge from the very beginning. That's why something a little on the unexpected side happened earlier today with the Amazon Cloud Player app, when made its formal appearance just today on the iPad.
Amazon's Cloud Player, now optimized for both the iPad and iPad mini, brings that same ecosystem to Apple tablet users, allowing access to music libraries stored in a user's music locker or even allowing those users to download the music from their lockers to their local devices for those times when there's no handy connection around. The Cloud Player has been powered on iPhone and iPod Touch devices since last summer and was widely well-received, so seeing the migration to iPad really wasn't out of line at all. Amazon Cloud Player comes in the free variety and is good for all Amazon-purchased MP3s as well as 250 additional songs as well as comes in a $25 a year version, which allows for up to 250,000 songs' worth of storage, or better than a year's worth of continuously-playing music.
Amazon's been ratcheting up the availability of its Cloud Player beyond the Apple lineup as well, taking the Cloud Player to some unexpected places like the car dashboard. Thanks to a cooperative effort with Ford, the Cloud Player can be spotted as part of the Sync AppLink entertainment system. Sonos' Wireless HiFi system even got a taste of the cloud thanks to Amazon, meaning there are a whole lot more endpoints to access cloud-based music now than there were this time last year.
Naturally, such a move to cloud-based music is going to mean some serious challenges overall to the radio industry which depends on listeners staying tuned to sell advertising space and thereby remain operating. There's a component of local news, weather, and events that cloud-based music can't provide of course, but radio's going to have to offer a bit more than a few minutes of local flavor in order to support an entire operation. But with Cloud Player allowing people to not only take their music on the road with them, but then take it out of the car and carry on playing when they reach their destinations, that's a prospect that radio is going to have a tough time keeping up with.
Still, users are likely to come out very much ahead with this, and Cloud Player should find plenty of friends in the short term.
