Ever since automobiles first appeared over 100 years ago, every automaker has tried to make them go faster. And they succeeded. Nearly every year, cars became more powerful with higher top-end speeds. But then, in the mid-1950s, we hit a plateau. The national speed limit was set at 70 miles per hour, and we've been stuck at that rate ever since. As a result, the automobile has made absolutely no progress as a transportation device in over half a century.
Speed itself is not a safety hazard. It's the difference in speeds between cars that lead to accidents.Actually, in 1974, it got worse. The national speed limit was lowered to 55 mph, ostensibly to save fuel and lives (it did neither). Such an agonizingly slow rate of travel proved too much to take for most Americans. We demanded that the limit be raised, and we got it back to 70 mph. Now it's time to demand another raise.
I'm not talking about some sort of modest increase to, say, 85 mph. We need to put a comprehensive plan in place to gradually move the limit up, over the next couple of decades, to 150 miles an hour. And we need to do that with no sacrifice in fuel economy or safety.
Continue reading Opinion: Time to raise the speed limit, how does 150 MPH sound?...

We're literally on the verge of making it almost impossible for cars to crash into one another.People tell me it's impossible or crazy to design passenger cars to go 150 mph. But do you want to know why German luxury cars are so good? Because they're designed to go 150. In fact, most of them have speed limiters on them. Otherwise, they'd go faster.
Speed itself is not a safety hazard. It's the difference in speeds between cars that lead to accidents. Somebody driving 50 mph while all the cars around them are flashing past at 70 mph or greater is creating a hazard. But if everyone is going the same speed, the situation is a lot safer – even at much higher speeds.
Just like today's Autobahn, some sections of highway would have lower limits, while others would be set at the maximum. The speed limit could also vary depending on the time of day and traffic load.
Before this decade is out we're going to see big strides in vehicle-to-vehicle communication, using radio frequencies and GPS. We've already got adaptive cruise control and radar-controlled braking. Put it all together and we're literally on the verge of making it almost impossible for cars to crash into one another, even if the driver fails to act. In the next decade, we're going to see the first commercialization of autonomous technology, where cars can literally drive themselves. That opens up the door to a 150-mph speed limit on national highways.
A 150-mph speed limit would transform automotive transportation. I daresay no one would ever again take an airplane ride of 500 miles or less.This technology also creates the opportunity to use what the transportation experts call "platooning." Cars could travel in packs, or platoons, in a nose-to-tail file not unlike the NASCAR guys drafting each other. But in this case the cars would be electronically linked together. And that kind of drafting would produce significant gains in fuel economy.
A 150-mph speed limit would transform automotive transportation. I daresay no one would ever again take an airplane ride of 500 miles or less. It would be so much faster and convenient to drive – no more pat downs from the friendly TSA agents!
Setting this kind of stretch goal would unleash a frenzy of R&D activity, create new companies, grow new jobs, and produce an economic boom much like building the Intestate Highway System did. It's just a matter of getting our heads around the idea.
Back in the 19th Century, Queen Victoria stipulated that any time she travel by train it was prohibited from going more than 40 miles an hour. The thinking was that going any faster than that was harmful to one's health. We laugh at that concept today, just as, later in this century, they'll laugh at us for thinking that driving 150 mph was dangerous.

This paper aims to expand PPP literature by twofold. First, the performance of the conventional linear PPP model (OLS) is compared with nonlinear PPP (GARCH). Secondly, we revisit the PPP by using more recent data for the currencies of five leading members of the Association of Southeast Asia ations (ASEAN-5), covering from January 1980 to ovember 2002, including the recent Asian financial crisis. Our results suggest that generally, the ASEAN-5 currencies still revert to their PPP equilibrium over long run time horizon. While all series show response to the crisis, the Philippine peso and Singapore dollar obviously received the least impact. Although Malaysia and Thailand have suffered huge undervaluation during the crisis, both Malaysian ringgit and Thai baht are found to be corrected at a quicker pace relative to the other three currencies from the misalignments. In addition, we also documented several nonlinear behaviors of the ASEAN-5 currencies and found that the nonlinear models outperform the linear model in modeling PPP, based on their superiority in out-of-sample forecasting.

Good Trees, Bad Trees: If It Isn't On the News, Did It Happen?
On the flip side, good news can be transmitted just as quickly and widely. Good people hear about tragedies and rally to help. The efforts by many good people after all those disasters can be relayed to us, reminding us that there are 10 good people for every one bad.
We see the impact that one small kindness can have on many different people and how it can "pay forward." News reaches us instantly about man's humanity to man.
I guess in the final analysis, in the modern world, we have a choice of which trees we prefer to hear fall – loud, obnoxious negative, depressing bad trees; or uplifting, refreshing positive good trees. I have found that I can only absorb so many bad trees crashing and thundering to the ground before I lose sight of the forest. When I reach my limit, I can hit the "off" switch.
Positive trees, on the other hand, seem to make a sweeter, less irritating sound when they fall with a swish and that makes me feel good about life.
So I think I'll look for the good trees. I'll listen to the bad trees to stay informed, but when I begin to experience "bad tree overload," I'll seek out good trees to balance things out.
For those who continue to listen only to the bad trees, the sound will be their reality; but in my little sphere of existence, I will continue to seek the occasional silent, blissful ignorance.

PHOENIX (AP) - One candidate called for sending National Guard troops and to build fences on the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas to stem the tide of immigrants, and forwarding the bill to President Barack Obama.
Another candidate suggested deploying satellites to control the border. Still another participated in a demonstration in which protesters hoped to block a rumored busload of child immigrants to a small Arizona town.
The Republican race for Arizona governor began quietly with a focus on Medicaid, Common Core education standards and ways to boost the state's economy, but has taken an abrupt turn toward a familiar topic: immigration.
It has also flared up as a campaign issue in a few spots around the country since the influx of immigrants.

"Steven Seagal can't lift Koichi Tohei!"
One of the big problems with many of the Aikido articles printed by westerners is that they are opinion articles, often with fuzzy interpretations of numerous Aikido or Aikido-related ideas. Sometimes the idea of "Aikido-related" is a far stretch indeed, getting into self-help, psychology, and other areas that Ueshiba never directily mentioned or advised on in his life.
Although Koichi Tohei is treated by many Aikido practitioners as someone who does "a different brand" (or some other minmization), Tohei had some innovative ideas that I think the other styles would do well to borrow, particularly in light of the recent (and very late) realization that many of the "ki" things Tohei speaks of are substantive and they are essential components of Aikido techniques.
If much of the confusing and poorly-translated comments about ki are muted and the function of Tohei's Aikido are examined, his ideas are not fuzzy at all. Tohei has shown substantive use of physically-verifiable aspects of ki in his techniques since well before he left Hombu Dojo as the Chief Instructor. When formulating the approach for the Ki Society, Tohei used the ki skills as a baseline for usage in all techniques and also as a separate study line for practitioners to base their overall development upon. Frankly, it would appear that he had a good idea. The question is why, other than as some aspect of internecine rivalry, so many other Aikidoists ignore and don't understand the reason and utility of the basics of ki studies in their own Aikido.
The "ki tests" and skills development within the Ki Society are pretty basic stuff… and they're very good indicators of basic skills for all Aikido techniques. Tohei didn't dream these things up as something new and different to be added to Aikido as a hallmark of his own style; he attempted to more clearly explain what was involved in the Aikido of Ueshiba. Yet in a quite human and snippy way, many Aikidoists from "other styles" simply ignore and trivialize the very helpful lesson materials from the man who was second only to Ueshiba before the politics got out of hand.

Manure Handling Systems and Manure Gas - Report Offers Safety Solutions
MADISON--A report recently prepared by agricultural engineers and farm safety experts examines different manure handling systems in Wisconsin, the dangers presented by manure gas and offers safety recommendations to keep farmers and their employees alive. "Although manure is a natural by-product of livestock farms, manure can produce deadly gases that are dangerous and unpredictable," said Ed Odgers, conservation engineering section chief with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and one of the report authors. "The scale and complexity of manure systems has increased dramatically in recent year. It was time to take a hard look at these systems to identify and address the dangers posed by manure gases." The 18-page report, Manure Gas Safety: Review of Practices and Recommendations for Wisconsin Livestock Farms, looks at the potential hazards of different procedures to handle manure on farms. They range from drive-in covered storage tanks to open pits and reception tanks to processing rooms often used with manure separators and digesters. The report was prepared by a manure safety review team staffed by experts from the state agriculture department, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the University of Wisconsin Madison Biological Systems Engineering and the Waupaca County Land Conservation Department. One key recommendation in the report is a plan to educate the farm community about the dangers of different manure handling systems and what can be done to limit the potential harm to farm workers or livestock from manure gas. Other recommendations include design modifications, and the addition of safety features to existing systems, and items to include in a safety plan. "While we have been fortunate not to have any manure gas fatalities here in Wisconsin, they have occurred in neighboring states. These tragedies are preventable with safer system designs, better management practices and increased awareness of theses dangers," said Cheryl Skjolaas, interim director, University of Wisconsin Center for Ag Safety and Health. One type of system in particular has drawn the most concern from the manure safety review team. The expanding use of drive-in, covered storage tanks and transfer channels place farm workers in dangerous environments with little opportunity for rescue. Workers use skid loaders or similar equipment to enter these confined areas that are often located under a barn. "Safety procedures state that a worker may enter a confined storage area after ventilating and monitoring for gases. The worker should wear a safety harness and rope attached to a mechanical retrieval device like a winch to recover them in the event they are overcome by manure gas," explained John Ramsden, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. "If they've gone into an enclosed tank in a skid loader, there's no practical means to retrieve them." These systems need to be retrofitted to limit or eliminate the need for human entry or abandon them all-together. Fortunately, cost share assistance may be available for retrofits, Ramsden said. State and federal technical standards for manure handling systems will be revised to include required safety designs and an outreach campaign led by the University of Wisconsin has been initiated. Copies of the report are available on the DATCP web site. Search on "manure gas safety."

Deputies involved in head on collision
The Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE – Two deputies are nursing injuries after being involved in a head-on collision over the Memorial Day weekend.
Sergeant Bryan McGee and Deputy Manuel Valdez from the Ellis County Sheriffs Office were conducting routine patrol Sunday, May 30 when a 32-year-old drunk driver smashed into their vehicle inside the Waxahachie city limits on Farm to Market Road 877.
Kristopher J. Webb, of Mansfield, was arrested by Texas Highway Patrol Officer Phillip Stambaugh and charged with two cases of intoxication assault with bonds set at $50,000 each.
According to the arrest affidavit, Webb was driving a Ford Mustang and had a red mark on his left shoulder believed to have been from the driver side seatbelt.
Webb holds a previous conviction with the Phoenix , Ariz Sheriff's Office for driving under the influence: liquor/drugs/vapors/combo in August 2005.
McGee and Valdez were taken to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas due to head injuries.
Valdez' injury may cause impaired walking function and McGee's injury may cause permanent disfigurement of his head/ and or face according to medical officials. Chief Deputy Dennis Brearley said the two men have been released from the hospital and are schedule to return to their regular shifts.
"The doctor didn't give any recommendations otherwise," said Brearly.
Webb was brought to Baylor in Waxahachie for voluntary drug testing.

|We are now in October and the garden still has much to offer.
Miss Kenzie welcomes you to her gramma's garden. This is from last weekend as you can see it was breezy. The little hair clips were gramma's attempt to control it.
Here is another view of the bench she is sitting on. The ash trees are turning yellow and many leaves come down in this garden. The area behind the bench was totally revamped last fall.
An overhead view of the patio garden
Not a lot left in the potager, but the urn looks pretty yet. Beyond the potager is the north grove and the area in between is a functional farm area. DH machine shed is to the left and so the tractors etc circle around in this area. The grain bins are to the right behind the spruces. So semi-trucks are in and out of the area as well. Behind the spruces is the future childrens garden.
Near the potting shed the annuals are still showing off. You can see my latest brick project. It leads up a step into the potting area. To the left is my tropical area.
Clematis 'Henryi' also grows on that fence and reblooms nicely in the fall.
I think I'll start a second thread so this doesn't get too hard to load.
Thanks for visiting!

|Kenzie and the hyacinth bean vine are my faves! Off to see #2 now.
|Michelle, what a little beauty Kenzie is! Love the hyacinth bean vine. This year I grew one up the drain pipe at the front corner of the house to hide it. Have you tried the Painted Lady runner beans? I planted some on my front picket fence this year. The pods aren't nice like the hyacinths, just green, but the blooms sure are pretty. Looks like your gardens are still going strong. Very nice!
|Such a pretty, pretty home and grand-daughter.
How she's grown!
|Lovely..lovely ! And such a darling GD !
I went out and checked my Henryi Clem. There are at least 3 new buds, so if an early frost doesn't get them, I will have fall blooms.

Sky Dayton's New Flight Plan
Heather Green
Sky Dayton paid a visit to our offices last week. He's now the CEO SK EarthLink, a joint venture between EarthLink and SK Telecom, a Korean wireless player, that plans early next year to launch in the U.S. the kinds of wireless services common in Korea.
Here's the interview he did with BW, though I still don't understand what the appeal would be, except to a very niche market.
Would you sign up for a special service to get these services or would you simply take the kind of services that are being offered by your cell phone carrier? It sounds like a case of an entreprenuer thinking that the kinds of cutting-edge services that they want are the ones that the rest of the mass market will want.
TrackBack URL for this entry:
yeah, i tend to agree with you. the cutting-edge services they bring from korea will probably only appeal to a niche market and they will charge a premium for such services and handsets (i will admit sk teletech phones are very cool).
also i question the execution ability of both sides for various reasons. sk telecom or any sk company really doesn't have any solid experience in overseas markets compared with samsung and lg. and is earthlink the best partner or pool of talent for them to penetrate the u.s. market? it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Short backstory: We live in a small town and rentals are not easy to come by, especially a three bedroom which we have to have.
Next month we are moving into a much bigger place that has been fully renovated (can not wait to have some space), unfortunately there is no bathtub. I know, what was I thinking?!??!
Any advice on not having a tub? Thanks!
What about an inflatable tub that you can put in the shower? You could change the shower head to one of the handheld shower heads and fill the inflatable tub, or just use the shower head with LO.
Or, have LO shower with you and DH/SO.
There's always the kitchen sink!

Pivot North Bay Charter School is a public school offering a full curriculum, experienced, state-certified teachers with advanced degrees, access to a broad range of academic and technological resources, and free tuition to all students in six northern California counties. The only thing that may strike outsiders as being a bit unusual is the dress code--students can attend class in pajamas without fear of reprisal.
Advanced Academics, an Oklahoma City-based online learning tools provider, has partnered with Oak Grove Union School District of Santa Rosa, CA, to open PNBCS for the 2009-2010 school year, free of charge and, perhaps even more notably, free of walls. The district is now accepting applications for the coming school year from students interested in an alternative to the standard academic environment. All students entering grades 6 through 11 in the counties of Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma are welcome to apply.
PNBCS offers all core and many elective subjects one would find in a traditional California high school, including Advanced Placement courses, and the diplomas it awards are fully sanctioned by the state. Students attend classes by regularly visiting the school Web page for each course they take. They are required to enroll in six courses per semester and complete each course by the end of the semester of enrollment; however, each student works at his or her own pace throughout the semester.
The school offers technical support to its remote attendees, and certified teachers in the subjects offered are available for consultation via phone, online chat, or e-mail weekdays from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. In addition, each student is assigned a student achievement coordinator who monitors academic progress. All students enrolling in the school are issued a laptop computer and, if financial need warrants, given an annual Internet service allowance.
A spokesperson said that the school expects to receive full accreditation next summer and will subsequently add grade 12 and begin issuing state-sanctioned diplomas beginning in the 2010-11 school year.

RALEIGH -- Colleges across the UNC system will soon turn their focus to meeting the state's current and future workforce needs.
The UNC Board of Governors is developing a strategic plan that will impact what students are learning and the way resources are divided.
"It's tougher getting jobs these days I mean you got to make a living, said N.C. State freshman Stephen Rozakis. "You can't just walk into a place and get a job anymore."
To help students like Rozakis combat the challenging job market, the board is developing a new strategic plan. The board hasn't updated in the plan in five years.
"The state and national economy is in a different place," said Board of Governors Chairman Peter Hans, who said the plan will tailor college courses to meet the needs of employers. "Provide them with the critical thinking skills, the ability to learn and adapt in an economy that's very different from our parents economy."
The plan also aims to increase the number of people in the state with four-year degrees.
"So improving graduation rates is an important component," said UNC System President Tom Ross. "Well to increase graduation rates, you need to increase retention rates."
Hans said political, business and educational leaders will work together to develop a strategy.
"Settle on common goals. a plan that each of these sectors are invested in," he said.
With the UNC system operating on a lean budget, the committee will ensure funds are being used conservatively and there are no academic or administrative duplications.
"So that the resources that the state invests in the university go to the right places," Hans said. "They go to educating students, preparing them for the jobs of the future."
An investment in the state's future that could open up opportunities for students.
The board wants to complete their proposal by January when the new governor and state lawmakers take office. The board wants the legislature to consider how its plan fits in with other state plans for community colleges and the K-12 system.

@donasmrs-- I've never heard of goji berries before, that's interesting. I will add it to my list of things to try.
I have chronic dark circles. I don't know if it's hereditary or not, I just know that they are very stubborn. I've tried many different things but have been seeing some improvement with natural remedies, so I plan on continuing with herbal treatments.
I really like chamomile tea and rose hip tea. I buy them as tea bags, make tea with it and then cool the tea bags in the fridge before applying them on my dark circles.

Brow Lift
Brow or Forehead Lift (classic and endoscopic)
Do you feel that your face has aged more than your body? If you answered yes, a facelift maybe the surgery for you.
What is a Browlift?
A forehead lift or "browlift" is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes
The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired.
In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines. Dr. Golla may use the conventional surgical method, in which the incision is hidden just behind the hairline; or it may be performed with the use of an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. Both techniques yield similar results -- smoother forehead skin and a more animated appearance.
Is a Browlift right for you?
A forehead lift is most commonly performed in the 40-60 age range to minimize the visible effects of aging. However, it can also help people of any age who have developed furrows or frown lines due to stress or muscle activity. Individuals with inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose can achieve a more alert and refreshed look with this procedure.
Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.
Patients who are bald, who have a receding hairline, or who have had previous upper-eyelid surgery may still be good candidates for forehead lift. Dr. Golla will simply alter the incision location or perform a more conservative operation.
Remember, a forehead lift can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them in detail with your doctor.
The Actual Procedure
The classic forehead lift:
Before the operation begins, your hair will be tied with rubber bands on either side of the incision line. Your head will not be shaved, but hair that is growing directly in front of the incision line may need to be trimmed.
For most patients, a coronal incision will be used. It follows a headphone-like pattern, starting at about ear level and running across the top of the forehead and down the other side of the head. The incision is usually made well behind the hairline so that the scar won't be visible.
If your hairline is high or receding, the incision may be placed just at the hairline, to avoid adding even more height to the forehead. In patients who are bald or losing hair, a mid-scalp incision that follows the natural pattern of the skull bones is sometimes recommended. By wearing your hair down on your forehead, most such scars become relatively inconspicuous. Special planning is sometimes necessary for concealing the scar in male patients, whose hairstyles often don't lend themselves as well to incision coverage.
If you are bald or have thinning hair, Dr. Golla may recommend a mid-scalp incision so the resulting scar follows the natural junction of two bones in your skull and is less conspicuous.
Working through the incision, the skin of the forehead is carefully lifted so that the underlying tissue can be removed and the muscles of the forehead can be altered or released. The eyebrows may also be elevated and excess skin at the incision point will be trimmed away to help create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The incision is then closed with stitches or clips. Your face and hair will be washed to prevent irritation and the rubber bands will be removed from your hair. Although some plastic surgeons do not use any dressings, your doctor may choose to cover the incision with gauze padding and wrap the head in an elastic bandage.
The endoscopic forehead lift: Typically, an endoscopic forehead lift requires the same preparation steps as the traditional procedure: the hair is tied back and trimmed behind the hairline where the incisions will be made.
However, rather than making one long coronal incision, Dr. Golla will make three, four or five short scalp incisions, each less than an inch in length. An endoscope, which is a pencil-like camera device connected to a television monitor, is inserted through one of the incisions, allowing the surgeon to have a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin. Using another instrument inserted through a different incision, the forehead skin is lifted and the muscles and underlying tissues are removed or altered to produce a smoother appearance. The eyebrows may also be lifted and secured into their higher position by sutures beneath the skin's surface or by temporary fixation screws placed behind the hairline.
When the lift is complete, the scalp incisions will be closed with stitches or clips and the area will be washed. Gauze and an elastic bandage may also be used, depending on Dr. Golla's preference.
Following Surgery
Although you should be up and about in a day or two, plan on taking it easy for at least the first week after surgery. You should be able to shower and shampoo your hair within two days, or as soon as the bandage is removed.
Most patients are back to work or school in a week to 10 days. Endoscopic patients may feel ready to return even sooner. Vigorous physical activity should limited for several weeks, including jogging, bending, heavy housework, sex, or any activity that increases your blood pressure. Prolonged exposure to heat or sun should be limited for several months.
Most of the visible signs of surgery should fade completely within about three weeks. Minor swelling and bruising can be concealed with special camouflage makeup. You may feel a bit tired and let down at first, but your energy level will increase as you begin to look and feel better.
Recovery Period
Most rhinoplasty patients are up and about within two days, and able to return to school or sedentary work a week or so following surgery. It will be several weeks, however, before you're entirely up to speed.
Dr. Golla will give you more specific guidelines for gradually resuming your normal activities. They're likely to include these suggestions: Avoid strenuous activity (jogging, swimming, bending, sexual relations-any activity that increases your blood pressure) for two to three weeks. Avoid hitting or rubbing your nose, or getting it sunburned, for eight weeks. Be gentle when washing your face and hair or using cosmetics.
Dr. Golla will schedule frequent follow-up visits in the months after surgery, to check on the progress of your healing. If you have any unusual symptoms between visits, or any questions about what you can and can't do, don't hesitate to call your doctor.
Your New Look
Most patients are pleased with the results of a forehead lift, no matter which surgical method was used. Often, patients don't realize how much their sagging forehead contributed to the signs of aging until they see how much younger and more rested they appear after the lift.
Although a forehead lift does not stop the clock, it can minimize the appearance of aging for years. As time passes, you may want to repeat the procedure.
Upon reading this information, if you feel that browlift is the right surgery for you, then please either submit your information or call us at 1-888-MD-GOLLA.

Many parents are realizing that rushed schedules and too many dinners from fast food restaurants are affecting the way their children eat and see foods. The best way to get your kids to eat well is to be a role model and to get them involved in meal planning. Eating healthy is always a family affair. Whether your children are very young and you are looking to start them out "right" or they are already in the habit of eating too many high fat, high sugar foods, you can use these tips to help your family eat healthy meals.
Children should be offered a variety of foods from all food groups including whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat or skim dairy products, lean meats, fish, poultry, and beans. A good rule of thumb in choosing the healthiest versions of these foods is "the less processed, the better." Processed foods are usually prepackaged foods like crackers, cookies, instant noodle and rice mixes, sugary cereals, and breads made with white flour.
The ChooseMyPlate method divides the plate into 4 food groups: fruit, vegetable, grains, and protein. You can use this plate to choose foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Simply fill half of a 9-inch plate with fruits and vegetables. The other half of the plate should be split between starches (such as whole grains and starchy vegetables like potatoes) and lean proteins, like lean meat, beans, and peas. A cup of low-fat or skim milk or yogurt on the side is ok.
If you have a busy schedule, go shopping and stock your cupboards with quick, healthy choices for the week. Always have basic foods available to prepare fast, simple and nutritious meals.
Basics for your shopping list:
Families are usually busy in the morning when everyone is getting ready for school and work. Finding time to make dinner and eat together is often difficult as well. If you plan ahead, you can have the right ingredients to make quick and healthy meals.
Breakfast ideas:
Dinner ideas:
If you are concerned that your child is overweight, talk to your child's healthcare provider. Children are rarely put on calorie-restricted diets because it can affect normal growth. Kids often gain too much weight from overeating high-calorie snacks and fast foods, drinking too much soda and juice, and lack of exercise. The healthy meal planning tips given here are appropriate for both normal weight and overweight children.
You can get more information about healthy eating from the ChooseMyPlate Web site at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/

Suriya Women's Development Centre (SWDC) was established in 1991 with the objective of working with women and children displaced by conflict. Suriya started working with women and children in refugee camps and continued working with them when they were resettled in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka in early 1993.
Though their initial objective was to facilitate the transition and integration of these women and children into society, this has expanded with time. It acts as a voice of for women living in the Eastern Province: Suriya works with war-affected women and organises them to voice their perspective of the conflict. It brings together women from Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim ethnicities through their human rights, gender empowerment, development and theatre programmes. Suriya believe that although women are the most severely affected during a conflict, their voice is hardly given notice within the patriarchal hierarchy of the society. Suriya is striving to make these voices heard through the opposition, empowering women to speak up for a peaceful society.
Suriya uses a number of methods to bring out women's voice for peacebuilding: they work in refugee camps, resettlement areas and with women living in conflict areas. They organise vocational training for women to encourage their attendance and in the centre, educate the women and children on human rights and gender equality, provide psychosocial counselling, legal advice for the women who suffered at the hands of armed groups and males and use cultural theatre and traditional songs as a form of expression and empowerment. These diverse approaches facilitate the participation of war affected women and highlight their voice as a significant factor in relation to the conflict.

After all, if you're going to eat, you may as well do it right and take advantage of Orange County's best.
5 Ashoka the Great
Diners from all over LA flock to Ashoka for tandoori dishes, naan, and fish kebabs. In the Little India neighborhood of Artesia, this restaurant is the best-known of local Indian places and is much loved for its authentic clay oven cooking. For a sampling of many fantastic dishes, come to the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet on Saturday and Sunday. (562-809-4229)
4 Angelo's & Vinci's Ristorante
Mamma mia! Had P.T. Barnum been Italian, this is the type of restaurant he would have created. From the Piazza Fantasia with Christmas lights to the flying Gelardis (high-wire dummies), there's entertainment for everyone. Nevertheless, fun doesn't overwhelm the food. From pizzas with gourmet toppings to hand-stuffed ravioli, calamari, and vegetarian dishes, this Italian fun house promises delicious food and guarantees a great time! (714-879-4022)
3 Royal Khyber Fine Indian Cuisine
A favorite with Santa Ana's Indian contingency, Royal Khyber offers traditional Moghali and Tandoori fare in a contemporary, elegant setting. In fact, the restaurant has garnered many local and regional honors, including earning the Gold Award from the Southern California Restaurant Writers and being the first Indian restaurant in North America to receive a major newspaper's "Restaurant of the Year" award. House specialties include lobster masala with ajwain pepper, spicy chicken madras with black pepper curry, and mushroom matar khorma with ghee in Moghlai khorma sauce. Sunday brunch and Friday's buffet are popular events. (714-436-1010)
2 PCH Grill
The upscale hotel that houses this restaurant is a frequent home base for well-to-do vacationers. The decor of the signature PCH Grill, seemingly inspired by a California beach party, springs to life with myriad colors, potted palms, and a slew of "beach" oddities. Innovative Pacific Rim-inspired fare is the calling card — dine on sake-marinated black sea bass, wood-fired pizzas, and panko shrimp in mango sauce. At breakfast (buffet or à la carte), the little ones can thrill to the presence of Disney characters. (714-781-3463)
1 Chakra Cuisine
A calming space detailed with draped fabrics, subtle colors, and traditional artwork sets the scene for an updated taste of the subcontinent. The cuisine is an amalgam of past and present, defined by earthy spices and spot-on preparation. Masala-roasted halibut, tandoori-cooked lamb chops, and seared, spiced scallops hint at the menu's richness, along with curries and classics like chicken tikka masala. An outdoor patio is available, and a lounge offers exotic cocktails favored by UC Irvine students and local professionals. Great Sunday brunch buffet too. (949-854-0009)

Lynch, Michael and McNally, Ruth (2006) Encadenando a un monstruo : La produccion de representaciones en un campu impuro. Convergenecia : Revista de Ciencias Sociales, 13 (42). pp. 15-45. ISSN 1405-1435Full text not available from this repository.
This paper analyses the topic of representation since the point of view of ethnomethodology and sociology of scientific knowledge. It starts out by discussing the "standard image of representation" and the constructivist proposition of that image. Then, a case of study is presented to suggest how practices for collecting and analyzing forensic evidence in criminal law, can contribute to understand representational adequacy. The aim of this paper is to think differently about representantion considering how it is produced, managed and deconstructed. Since this point of view, the propositions is to consider representation not only as a problematic epistemological concept but also as a practical accomplishment in specific epistemic cultures.

Michael Jackson's past was checkered, but as Movieline.com pointed out, his death created an even more public spectacle: people prostituting themselves on Craigslist for MJ memorial service tickets. Talk about "Dangerous!" Man, everyone is trying to get their piece in the King of Pop's passing. And boy were they perverted about wanting someone to just beat it for them.

About Technic
Sprite index limits, block ID limitations, and base-class edits. These are the terms you were familiar with had you modded Minecraft back in the day. You opened .jars as .zip files, you might have even heard about this brand-new API called Forge and how some modders were choosing to use this API instead of modifying Minecraft directly.
In August of 2011 the goons of Something Awful were discussing various mods, mostly centered around the original popular modpack, YogBox. While most mods tended to be of the adventure variety, a new type of industrial-style mod started to become mature. Getting a stable game going with the most fleshed-out and popular ones, KakerMix released it as a small modpack on the SA Forums. It managed to gather a few tens of downloads, and one of them was Lewis of Yogscast fame. He did a series on it, suddenly thrusting Technic, the mods it contained and the modders themselves into the faces of millions of new fans. With the sudden exposure and fame, KakerMix started to focus the sudden influence into a tool of good for the community.
Technic coalesced into a team of people and began to pump out community-altering projects. The Technic website and Forums gave a place for people to discuss things in a respectable way with hard-hitting moderators and at least the illusion of quality control. The Technic Launcher finally hit home the idea that people don't want to hand-modify .jar files to play modded Minecraft. Tekkit gave server operators a chance to actually run and play a heavily modded Minecraft server by easily having a standard client to point users to, introduced modded Minecraft to hundreds of thousands of players, and gave thousands of (mostly hopeful) YouTube stars a block of content to play with. Voltz showcased an unheard of team and their creations, giving them a huge bank of eager consumers within a week of it's launch. More recently the new Technic Launcher and Technic Platform are poised to again streamline down modded Minecraft, and make it seamless for content creators, server operators and players to kick back and play, create, claim and enjoy the game they love with as little hassle as possible.
Technic as an identity and community has made it's mark on Minecraft, what was once a .zip file is now a multiple-hundred-thousand strong powerhouse of the community. Players, server operators, content creators, map makers and burgeoning YouTube stars now have the Technic Platform to help make Minecraft what they choose it to be.
Technic Staff
KakerMix Literally Stalin
KakerMix put together the Technic Pack in 2011 for the Something Awful forums. It was picked up by the Yogscast (also of SA forums) propelling KakerMix's name into infamy. In the time since KakerMix gathered up people with far more talent than he had to help make Technic great. The main site, forums, Tekkit, Voltz, Technic Launcher and now Launcher v2 and Platform are all a product of this gathering of excellent people, with KakerMix in the background greasing the wheels and making sure the whole thing doesn't collapse in a big mass of drama.
Cheap Shot Resident Arter and Farter
Before doing any kind of art for Technic, before Technic was even a thing, Cheap played Minecraft with his friends. Like most, packing mods was impossible rocket science to him. KakerMix took pity and packaged the mods to spare him. That pack of course became the Technic pack and was leaked and went viral. Cheap Shot decided to look at the silver lining. Modpacks in the community could be a great tool and help a lot of people enjoy mods. He offered his artistic services to that end, making Technic more then just a run away pack. Briefly he was a webcomic artist for the Yogscast, looking for satire in the world of Minecraft. Technic was always his true focus however.
Sct Coding Wizard
Sct has been involved with Minecraft since Indev. After being introduced to mods and Technic, Sct was immediately pulled in and started to host his own modded Minecraft servers. Having now run a successful Tekkit server, Sct offered to help develop and test future versions of Tekkit. This lead into a complete website redesign (and now another one!), Tekkit 3, The Platform, and help developing the new launcher. Some have claimed Sct is a real life wizard, but there is no solid evidence to support this claim.
CanVox Pack Welder
CanVox's experience with Minecraft modding first began when he ran a short-lived Terra Firma Craft server, which he modded to add additional server op utilities. Since then, CanVox has created a few small mods (OffLawn!, with Rhodox of the Painterly Pack and An Obsidian Plate), an improvement to the Minecraft renderer, and a fairly successful Technic Platform Pack, Big Dig. Today, CanVox continues to manage Big Dig, now a Technic pack, along with the development of all Technic modpacks.
Olloth Coding Wizard
Olloth originally took over hosting of a Minecraft server for the #retribution channel on synirc. There, KakerMix, Olloth, and Cheap Shot began getting heavily into Minecraft multiplayer. After a while, Olloth helped KakerMix set up a modded server and everyone got into technical mods. Olloth went on to develop for the Spout project (Spout.org) and after some time, gave advice on forking the Spoutcraft Launcher for modded minecraft installation. Most recently, he forked the Spoutcraft Launcher himself and developed the new Technic Launcher in conjuction with the Platform.
Agelian The All Knowing
Agelian, the mysterious genius, brought his talent to the team early in development. He used his impressive coding skill to construct the first Technic launcher from a spout fork, which did just the trick for making Technic the success it is today. Since then he has become incredibly successful and moved on to greater opportunities. Despite this he remains our friend and team member. Agelian helps Technic in dire emergencies and offers sage advice that keeps Technic always on course in choppy waters.

IceWolf Pack Architect
As an early adopter and persistant lurker in the minecraft community, IceWolf was enticed when the first mentions of a "Technic Pack" made their way to him. Having spent a large amount of time in many different modding communities, he was pretty familiar with the hassle of merging mods and redistributing them to friends. After researching what the goal of Technic was, he met up with KakerMix on the SomethingAwful forums to help him more easily package, test, and distribute the pack so it could be enjoyed by a wider audience. Currently IceWolf spends his time managing the packs in the Technic Launcher, helping users with troubleshooting, and working directly with modders to help get quality content to the players
