What goes better with pancakes than maple syrup? It's too bad a mere 1 tablespoon has about 50 calories - that translates into 200 calories (and almost 50 grams of sugar!) for a measly 1/4 cup serving. Yuck! Luckily, there are some sugar-free versions out there to lighten the load.
I came across Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Sugar Free Maple Syrup in the grocery store for $4.99. Expensive, yes, but given my love for pancakes, I was keen to try it anyway. Looking at the nutritional info on the back, I was highly impressed (and also somewhat nervous about the taste, as low-calorie toppings can often be pretty unappetizing). A 1/4 cup serving provides only 15 calories, 110 mg of sodium (5% of the RDA), 3 grams of sugar alcohols, and a surprising variety of nutrients (25% of the RDA for each thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and zinc). If this stuff tasted as good as its nutrition data, I would be sold!
Alas, this maple syrup wannabe falls short. The 1st second or two after tasting it, I was thinking, "Wow, this stuff is great! There's a real maple syrup flavor to it." That lasted until the second the incredibly artificial flavor kicked in. Yuck! It went from so good to so bad, so fast. Plus, this syrup is much thinner than regular maple syrup, so it's not nearly a good enough substitute.
My advice? Skip this pancake topper and use one of the recommendations in our Pancake Syrup Swap. Check out the comments for even more recommendations.

Since I had already experienced Rokit Fuel Cherry Almond Cereal Review, I knew it was heavy on the oats, so this morning, when I wanted a filling breakfast (8 mile run yesterday and 2400 yard swim today demands fuel), I decided to have Rokit Fuel Stud Muffin Cereal as a "hot cereal" breakfast.
I boiled some water and added it to the Rokit cereal already in a bowl and stirred it around - this absorbs water. The taste was sweet, but not too much so and it seemed like every bite had a crunch from nuts - I thought it was almonds, but there's also sunflower seeds, pecans, sesame seeds and walnuts listed in the ingredients list. There was also quite a bit of blueberries (which to me tasted like chocolate chives - possibly because of all the spices added), and I love my tart cherries in cereal, but they seemed to lose the tartness here. Still, I LOVED this as a "hooked up oatmeal." Quite tasty and very filling.
Each 95 gram container of Rokit Fuel Cherry Almond Cereal provides 380 calories, 12 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated fat (18% and 5% of the daily value), 6 grams of fiber (24% of the DV), 23 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein. The ingredients are all natural.
That's a lot of calories for breakfast - but like they say, this is Endurance Food, and not only that, I found this to be a filling breakfast. I had an apple a few hours later, but felt no "I'm starving" hunger pangs when lunch time rolled around. I received samples from the company, but it can be purchased online through Rokit.com where a 6 pack cereal cup costs $17.94 - almost $3.00 each, which is pricey, so I would save this for mornings when I know I'm going to using a lot of energy - like running a half marathon, or doing a triathlon.

I adore spring. It's cheery and sweet, full of life and all about new beginnings. We bid adieu to snowy days and the end of winter is marked with budding blooms, chirping birds and warmer (longer!) days. What's not to love? It brings us a refreshed outlook, beautiful colors, new life and bright inspiration and anticipation of what's to come. For those reasons and more, it makes perfect sense that the season all about new life and new beginnings would be a popular choice for weddings. After all, marriage is one of the biggest new beginnings in your life. As you embark on your new chapter, I offer a few ways to bring the best of this sunny season to your wedding day.
Choosing your color palette is a great way to start identifying your wedding style. I personally love to embrace the colors traditionally associated with this season. Soft, romantic shades like mint paired with tan, blush paired with gold and other barely-there hues top my list for spring weddings. Pretty pastels are a perfect nod to the fresh feeling of the season and delicate softness you feel at the breath of crisp spring air. For a cohesive spring fete, incorporate your colors of choice into many elements, including your bridal party's attire, tablescapes and invitations.
To me, spring is the season for flowers. My heart pitter-patters at the thought of ribbon-wrapped bouquets and lush, fresh springtime florals adorning long candlelit tables. In my opinion, peonies are the epitome of a classic wedding, and if you're lucky enough to be celebrating while they're in season (and they're in your budget) my vote is to go crazy for them. Ranunculus, tulips, hyacinth, sweetpeas and roses in white, pale pink and peach are also favorite oh-so-pretty selections for the season.
Bring the beauty of new life and love to the homes of your friends and family by incorporating a fresh bloom favor for your guests. Single-bloom bud vases for escort cards are a gorgeous statement and pretty take away. Potted bulbs like tulips and daffodils are another excellent choice for a treat they'll enjoy for a long time to come and will serve as a constant reminder of your own growing love they experienced firsthand.
If traditional romantic blooms aren't your thing, don't fret. There are plenty of other ways to add life to your wedding décor. Elements like moss, wheatgrass, cherry blossom branches and dogwood also evoke a natural and fresh feeling of spring. One idea is to dress up your tables with herbs and greenery. Choices like basil and oregano offer a fresh and organic feel to your décor. For an extra touch, include a favorite family recipe using one of the herbs for guests to take home with a mini potted version at their place setting.
Food and Drink
Flavors also come alive in springtime. I love a seasonal signature cocktail. A pink watermelon fizz or peach Bellini are refreshing and – bonus – an extra opportunity to incorporate one of your pastel colors. It's easy to add a bit of spring to your plates with a few of the season's favorite flavors like mint and lemon and by focusing on fresh and natural ingredients.
Make a strong first impression with a baby greens or mesclun salad, which has more of a fresh-from-the-garden feel. Adding a fruit element like strawberries or fruit vinaigrette also plays up the seasonal vibe and adds a sweetness your guests will love. Move away from heavier winter dishes by choosing entrées that bring in fresh herbs, like rosemary and mint and selecting veggies in their peak like asparagus. Top off your plate with an edible flower garnish (like a pansy or orchid) for an extra detail that exudes spring. Sweet treats like soft colored macaroons and lemon wedding cake topped with fresh fruit or flowers make for a light and delicious end to your meal.
By focusing on the season and staying true to what it represents, you and your guests will enjoy a wedding so delightful, romantic and sweet you'll have no doubt it was the perfect start to your new beginning. Photos courtesy of Pinterest and Dean Thorsen.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

In the wake of the latest IAEA report on Iran, STRATFOR CEO George
Friedman and special guest Robert Kaplan discuss potential threats to
world oil supplies from the Persian Gulf, and U.S. President Barack

* Iran's Nuclear Program and its Nuclear Option
Colin: Few will be surprised by the latest report from the International
Atomic Energy Agency on Iran. Its finding that the Tehran regime has
computer models that can only be used to develop a nuclear weapon has
triggered a new wave of speculation on the prospects of an Israeli
strike. But there may be other more pressing concerns as U.S. forces
leave Iraq.
Welcome to Agenda with George Friedman, and joining also this week is a
special guest - the writer and defense expert Robert Kaplan.
The obvious question as we move to a point where Israeli bombers can fly
in clear skies over Iraq, or soon will be able to be, is this "high
noon" for Iran?
Robert: Not necessarily, because just the fact that they are moving
closer to developing a weapons capacity for their nuclear material does
not mean that they can miniaturize, put it on a warhead and send it
somewhere. It could be a long way from that. Of course it is a much more
acute threat for Israel than it is for the United States. You also have
to consider the possibility that so what if Iran has three or four
nuclear weapons with no air defense system, relative to what the
Americans can do. But what does that mean? Isn't the 100 nuclear weapons
in Pakistan a much greater threat? Or would the Saudis respond by
parking Pakistani nuclear weapons in Saudi Arabia, thereby fusing the
South Asian and the greater Middle East crisis into one? There are a lot
of questions out there and they will continue to play out. But this is
nothing particularly new at this point.
Colin: So George, there's all this talk of an Israeli strike, and we've
heard it before, is it just rhetoric?
George: We are at a critical point. The critical point is not about
nuclear weapons. The critical point is that the U.S. is completing its
withdrawal from Iraq. We've seen recently the arrests of Sunnis in Iraq
by the Maliki government and the Iranians are increasing their power.
The balance of power is shifting in the region. The United States and
Israel both want the Iranians to pull back and as has happened several
times before, they increased the drumbeat of the threat of nuclear
weapons in order to create a psychological situation where the Iranians
would reconsider their position. The problem that you have here is that
the Israelis really don't have the ability to carry out the kind of
strikes we are talking about. They certainly have nuclear weapons if
they want to use nuclear weapons on some of the facilities near Tehran.
The more interesting question is do they have the ability to carry out
the multiday attacks on multiple sites with a relatively small air
force? The answer is they may be but they cannot deal with something
else. What if the Iranians respond by putting mines in the Straits of
Colin: And this is critical, isn't it, because 40 percent of the world's
sea-bound oil goes through the Straits. The Iranians have the longest
coastline along the Straits of Hormuz and along the whole Persian Gulf.
Robert: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps navy, which is separate
from the Iranian navy, is developing a very impressive asymmetric
warfare capability of suicide boats that can ram into everything from
merchant tankers to destroyers. Keep in mind in this "hot house" media
environment where the world is all together, simply pinprick attacks on
destroyers of other nations will garner incredible media news. It will
seem to be an attack on an American Navy that has been inviolate since
World War II in fact.
George: This is really crucial, that the psychological effect is
substantial. But the effect on markets in this case is substantial. If
the perception was that the Iranians have the ability to mine the
Straits or some other way threaten these extremely expensive tankers
that are up to a billion dollars including their cargo, which has to be
insured, could really be threatened. The price of oil would rise
dramatically and stock markets would tumble in a situation where Europe
is in a major crisis and the financial system of the world is shaky. If
we suddenly wound up with $200, $300 or $400 for a barrel of oil, the
global landscape could be reshaped forever.
Robert: Keep in mind that personalities enter into this a bit. Israeli
Prime Minister Netanyahu has been seen for years and even decades in
fact seen as a very flawed personality in and of himself, regardless of
whether you agree or disagree with his viewpoints. As we enter into a
presidential election season in the United States where even someone
like President Obama would be forced not to criticize Israel publicly,
the Israelis thinking cynically - and all governments think cynically -
would say this is a window of opportunity for us to bomb Iran, with
fewer American domestic repercussions.
George: That may be but it's very important that there is one domestic
American repercussion. If the oil is cut off, the effect on the United
States would be enormous and Israel will be blamed for a massive
recession or depression.
Robert: But as I was saying, Netanyahu has the kind of personality where
he would risk that.
Colin: This will be a catastrophe given the situation that could evolve
in the Persian Gulf. What kind of advice is Obama's defense department
giving him? Given that he is a man of great caution, I think what would
you expect him to be doing?
George: I think it is very clear what they are saying to him - bluff. He
is going out very publicly, which you don't do if you are planning a
major attack, and very publicly bluffing.
Robert: The U.S. Defense Department does not have the appetite for war
with Iran. Remember, all Iranians, not just the regime, supports Iran
being a nuclear power. Ten years from now we might have closer relations
with Tehran than we have with Riyadh. The last thing we want to do is
alienate even the Iranians who are sympathetic to us. Iran is a crucial
country. It fronts not just the oil-rich Persian Gulf but also the
oil-rich Caspian Sea. No other country does that. It has a window onto
Central Asia, which no other country in the Middle East has. So it's
enormously important. We are playing for high long-term stakes with
Iran, which may be a future ally of the United States.
George: We have to also recognize that with their increased power in
Iraq, with the probability that the al Assad regime in Syria - Iranian
allies - can survive, and with Hezbollah in Lebanon, we are looking at a
situation where Iranian influences could stretch from the Afghan border
to the Mediterranean. This is an enormously dangerous situation and it's
not really about nuclear weapons.
Robert: Afghanistan to the Mediterranean approximates the ancient
Persian empire of antiquity. Remember, Persia - Iran - as a linguistic
cultural force extends from Alawite Syria eastward right up to the Indus
River in Pakistan.
Colin: George and Robert, we need to leave it there. Thank you very
much. That is George Friedman and special guest Robert Kaplan ending
Agenda for this week.

Numerical Calculations of Pulsed Laser Heating of Non-isotropic Materials
Gamborg Andersen, G., Petrunin, V.V., Baurichter, A.
University of Southern Denmark, Physics Department, Odense, Denmark
We used FEMLAB (Finite Element Modelling LABoratory) for modelling heat propagation in 4 dimensions (time and the 3 spatial dimensions) after pulsed laser heating of non-isotropic materials during surface science experiments. As an example, the spatial and temporal evolution of a laser induced temperature jump in highly oriented pyrolytically grown graphite (HOPG) was calculated on a ns time ...
COMSOL simulations using a comprehensive model for gas fluidized-bed reactors
Mahecha-Botero, A., Elnashaie, S.S.E.H., Grace, J.R., Lim, C.J.
Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of British Columbia, East Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada
COMSOL (formerly FEMLAB) is being utilized to solve partial differential equations simulating fluidized bed reactors as part of the development of a novel generalized fluidized-bed catalytic reactor model. Simulations are carried out to account for complex dynamic transport and hydrodynamic phenomena such as: heat and mass axial and radial anisotropic dispersion, temperature and pressure ...
Finite Element Analysis of Fluid and Solute Transport in Hemodiafiltration Membranes
Steven Conrad
Computational Dynamics Laboratory
Louisiana State University
Fluid and solute transport in hemodiafilter hollow fibers occurs through a non-trivial interaction of convection and diffusion, modulated by a number of factors that include the non-Newtonian behavior of blood, the density and viscosity dependence of blood on the local hematocrit and protein concentration, the Fahraeus-Lindquist effect on hematocrit, the osmotic effects of protein and partially ...
Confinement Loss Computations in Photonic Crystal Fibres using a Novel Perfectly Matched Layer Design
Viale, P., Février, S., Gérôme, F., Vilard, H.
IRCOM, CNRS UMR 6615, Limoges, France
To modelize infinite photonic crystal fibre (PCF) with 2D-finite-geometry mode solver, it is necessary to use a perfectly matched layer (PML). We have performed a new type of PML design to simulate propagation in PCFs. The results obtained with index-guiding PCFs are in very good agreement with previous theoretical published results. Our PML is quickly optimized. The link between MATLAB and ...
Modeling Thermal Stresses of Copper Interconnects in 3D IC Structures
Bentz, D.N., Zhang, J., Bloomfield, M., Lu, J-Q., Gutmann, R.J., Cale, T.S.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
One of the key issues in developing higher density microelectronics devices is the impact of the stresses induced by thermal expansion mismatches of the materials used. We have examined, using FEMLAB, the stresses due to interwafer copper interconnects embedded in multilayer structures created by bonding two wafers using an organic low-k dielectric glue, benzocylcobutene (BCB). This work ...
FEM Characterization of Terahertz Wave on Metal Wire Waveguides
Deibel, J.A., Wang, K., Escarra, M.D., Mittleman, D.M.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University, Houston, TX, USA
The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum (100 GHz to 10 THz) remained relatively unexplored until developments in ultrafast laser technology provided techniques for the generation and detection of THz radiation. Recently, simple metal wires were found to be effective terahertz waveguides that exhibited very low loss and dispersion. The THz radiation propagates along the surface ...
Modelling massive forming processes with thermally coupled fluid dynamics
Schmitter, E.D.
University of Applied Sciences Osnabrueck
With massive forming processes like rolling, extrusion and friction stir welding metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state. Material flow under ideally plastic conditions can be modelled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This approach has advantages especially in case of large deformations. Material properties enter via a viscosity function, that can be related to the flow stress ...
Modelling of Thermal Stresses in Industrial Continuous Casting Processes
Åberg, J., Vynnycky, M., Fredriksson, H.
KTH/Metallernas Gjutning, Stockholm, Sweden
This paper reports on progress in the implementation of COMSOL Multiphysics 3.2 to model thermal stresses in a three-dimensional solidifying shell, as occurs typically in the industrial continuous casting of copper, copper alloys and steel. Computer memory requirements prohibit a direct 3D numerical simulation of the temperature and the stresses. Instead, we use the fact that casting ...
Finite element modeling of the field enhancement phenomenon in nanoscale field emitters and field ionizers
Ramin Banan Sadeghian and Mojtaba Kahrizi,
Concordia University
Interest in nanoscale field emission and field ionization devices has been renewed in recent years. Several new materials and novel device concepts have been introduced with promising field emission (FE) and field ionization (FI) behavior. Among them vertical ZnO nanowires (ZnONW) exhibit unique FE properties at relatively low applied electric fields. Using FEMLAB, we employed finite element ...

great pedals
By pedalpusher
from Bishop, CA
About Me Avid Cyclist
have these on two different road bikes. They have a little wider platform which makes them more comfortable on long rides. If weight counts then you would probably not want these but I think they are perfect.

These are great pedals at a great price. Perfect for my commuter bike. Also, prefect if you want to hop on for a quick errand or just ride around the neighborhood.
2nd pair
By Fritz

This is my 2nd pair of A530 pedals. Both bikes I have them on are mostly worn with SPD shoes, but occasionally may need the "regular pedal" side for other shoes. These fit the bill

Right price for performance
By DMAC
from Detroit, MI
I ride my comfort bike about 500 miles a year as secondary / family bike. When our 10yo wants to go for a ride - just go, no waiting to change keens to spd shoes. These pedals fit the bill. If I were to change one thing - it'd be to design the platform to have better grip pattern. But for the pedal price it is what it is......

A pedal for the rest of us....
By Ol'Bob
from Panacea, FL
I believe that most of us would ride more if we don't separate riding from the rest of our normal lives. I like to be able to ride in what I have on now. I don't ride like a bike racer so I don't try to look like one. I can take off to the Post Office in my flip flops, boat shoes or whatever and still snap in for my Sunday morning ride with my buddies.
Great pedals for my mountain bike.
By echale3
from Roanoke, VA
These pedals work great for their intended purpose, which is to allow me to use either my mountain biking shoes or my regular shoes to ride my bike. I don't need to clip in to ride a little in the neighborhood, but for going down to the YMCA to work out or for longer rides, I like being able to clip in.The clipless side is easy to adjust the tension on, to clip in to, and twist out of. When I'm clipped in, it really improves my pedaling efficiency.I wish that the bearings on the pedals were not adjusted quite so tight, so that the pedal would spin a little more freely. One of the things I liked about these pedals when reading various online reviews was that the pedals supposedly will auto-rotate so that the clipless side is always up, but the bearings on the ones I have are too stiff for that to happen. The bearings don't appear to be user-adjustable. I've not had them installed long, so it may wear in a bit over time and loosen up a tad.All in all, though, a nice, handy pedal!
hazardous exit
By diego
from Roseville, CA
First time out the factory adjustment was tight. Losened adjustment and off I went. A couple near mishaps exiting my cleats wouldn't exit smoothly I pulled out the screw some more and lubricated well. Still jerky entering/exiting could be my old cleates but not having this issue with another SPD pedals. Use the platform for city riding and needing quick exit terrain.

Prediction for 2013: the B.C. Liberals will not be destroyed
Many B.C. Liberals are probably heaving a sigh of relief as the curtain falls on 2012.
That's because it's looking increasingly likely that their party will still exist after the May 2013 provincial election, albeit in opposition.
This was not a sure thing a year ago when a Forum Research poll had the B.C. Conservatives in a dead heat with the B.C. Liberals with 23 percent support.
At the start of this year, there was a legitimate expectation that the B.C. Liberals might come third in spring by-elections in Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody–Coquitlam, which would finish off the party.
By April, the B.C. Conservative candidate in Chilliwack-Hope, John Martin, was claiming that the B.C. Liberal carbon tax "is punitive to all economic activity and increases the cost of everything in the province".
"The Liberal government has failed the people of British Columbia and has squandered trust with the public on issues such as paying $6 million in legal fees for two convicted criminals (Basi and Virk) and the introduction of the HST shortly after the last election when they said it was not on the table," Martin wrote in an op-ed piece on this site.
When the B.C. Liberals came second in both by-elections, that let some of the air out of the Conservatives' tires. And in a remarkable about-face, Martin is now the B.C. Liberal candidate in Chilliwack.
The last Angus Reid poll shows the B.C. Liberals have the support of 29 percent of voters. That's a huge lead over the B.C. Conservatives, who are mired at 12 percent. The B.C. Greens are further back at nine percent.
The biggest danger facing the B.C. Liberals is if their supporters feel they have no chance. That's when there's no risk in tossing a vote at one of the fringe parties.
This is what finished off the B.C. NDP in 2001 and the federal Progressive Conservatives in 1993, when each was reduced from forming government to just two seats.
But if the B.C. Liberals can narrow the gap with the B.C. NDP—which has 47 percent support in the last Angus Reid poll—the governing party doesn't have to worry about being obliterated in less than five months' time.
Meanwhile, the B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Greens don't have nearly enough momentum, members, or money to supplant the B.C. Liberals as the party for most British Columbians who loathe the B.C. NDP.
I'm guessing that there will still be enough people willing to vote B.C. Liberal in 2013 to ensure the party becomes Official Opposition. Then it will live to fight another election around 2017.
However, things don't look nearly as bright for Premier Christy Clark. Given the weakness of the B.C. Greens and the popularity of David Eby, her NDP opponent in Vancouver–Point Grey, she's unlikely to keep her own seat.
If Clark loses, that would likely clear the way for a B.C. Liberal leadership race pitting former finance minister Kevin Falcon against some MLAs who survive the 2013 provincial election.
As for B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins, my bet is he'll go down to defeat against Transportation Minister Mary Polak in Langley. And the B.C. NDP's Andrew Mercier should run a surprisingly strong third.
I also expect the B.C. Liberals' treatment of Abbotsford councillor Moe Gill to haunt them in Abbotsford South, where independent John van Dongen will probably hold onto his seat.
Good riddance !
Not listening to their members, not listening to their supporters, installing a leader with numerous issues, backing him to the bitter end like crabs in pot of boiling water dragging each other down to a miserable death. What an epic debacle.
There's a precedent as well. Look up Rita Johnson and the Social Credit.
We're looking at a rerun.
Going back to the late 1980's when Bill Vander Zalm was Premier, we saw major public assets sold to bring in revenue to "balance" the budget and have a few crumbs left over for re-election goodies. Unfortunately we lost a very valuable asset, the gas division of BC Hydro, which is now in the hands of private interests, as well as 11 other valuable public assets.
What we have with this Socred/Liberal coalition, with Ms. Clark at the helm, is nothing but a group of desperate politicians auditioning to be pawn stars with our assets.
Pathetic, they deserve to lose.
How is the Kool-Aid? Sweet enough for you? Did it come with talking points on the cup?
We'll see who's looking for work after May 14th.
We'll see what you have to say on May 14

Raad in Russia: Our visit aims to bolster communications
Wed 19/10/2011 21:32
NNA - 19/10/2011 - Loyalty to the Resistance bloc leader Mohammad Raad,
currently on a visit to the Russian capital of Moscow, expressed hope on
Wednesday that his bloc's deliberations with Russian Duma officials would
result in augmenting communications and come out with set grounds for
coordination and cooperation between both sides.
MP Raad and his accompanying delegation are in Russia upon the invitation
of Russia's Duma Committee for Middle Eastern Relations. The delegation
arrived in Moscow at dawn on Wednesday, and then initiated the visit by
heading to the Duma headquarters.
Lebanese-Russian discussions reportedly focused on the importance of this
visit, which both sides agreed played an essential role in boosting
Parliamentary relations between Russia and Lebanon.
The "Loyalty to the Resistance" delegation later held talks with Duma
Deputy Head Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who confirmed Russia's support to
Lebanon, and utter refusal of foreign intervention in Lebanese affairs.
Both sides also tackled Middle East developments and U.S. intervention in
Arab affairs.
The delegation later held similar talks with Duma Foreign Affairs
Committee Head, Mr. Konstantin Kosachev. "Russia is profoundly interested
in listening to the visiting delegation's point of view with regard to
developments in the region," Kosachev said.

With a history of audio innovation spanning over 80 years, Shure has turned a passion for making great microphones and audio electronis into an obsession No wonder Shure continues to set the worldwide indstury standard for superior microphones and audio electronics.
Used on stage by major touring acts like Passion Pit, The National and Snow Patrol Shure Wireless Systems deliver crystal clear audio and rock solid performance.
This includes the worlds first wireless guitar system where the receiver is a pedal. With a pro grade tuner built in and pure tone, the Shure GLXD16E Digital Wireless Guitar System is an excellent solution for touring musicians and hassle free setup.
MuteMath have been noisily calculating their notes for the past few years. This electro-alt rock collaboration between longtime friends has crept up on the music scene with onslaught of a worldwide fan-base driven to their website from countless video blogs and non-stop touring.
The four piece has scattered influences that are apparent without being obvious, and touch on everything from DJ Shadow styled beats, moments of beauty and grandeur a la Bjork, and vocals that pay legitimate homage to Police-era Sting.
They act on the idea that their magic is to be found in the mixture of countless thoughts. Their live show thrives on this random energy to involving homemade instruments, live sampling, a junked-out keytar and the kind of freakouts that keep any given performance worth the price of admission.

Terrific Product
I bought my first Bosca Card Case at a Dillard's in Scottsdale AZ a number of years ago. It has served as my wallet ever since. It's gotten pretty worn on the inside, so I ordered a new one. Before the Bosca, I had been wearing a wallet in my back pocket for years, and I was advised by my doc to stop that practice and find something that would not contribute to back pain. This case, carried in my front pocket, serves that purpose so well. Very pleased. Excellent quality and very fast delivery. Thank you, Bosca!
August 25, 2014
Excellent quality and function
I like a slim wallet. This product is perfect. I can keep my id and one credit card in the two single pockets and the rest in the two inside pockets. Low profile wallet and EXCELLENT quality of leather and workmanship.
December 17, 2013
Excellent quality
I actually purchased this as a gift but my ordering experience was superb; I ordered the case on Monday morning and received it on Tuesday afternoon. I have carried and used Bosca products for many years. They only get more beautiful as they age.
November 5, 2013
Perfection in aesthetics and function.
I use this card case for my everyday wallet. It's a perfect size for the pocket, is lightweight, refined, and attractive. It replaces a similar model which I wore out after many years. The transaction was easy, delivery fast, and the product even nicer than my old one. A good value and a fully satisfying acquisition. A classic indeed.
October 11, 2013
Quality Product
I have been a customer for years and latest order another example of easy to use ordering site and quality product delivered quickly. I have never had a bad experience or been disappointed with Bosca products.
October 9, 2013
Great Calling Card Case!
I had originally wanted a case with just one space for cards to float more freely. While it's still true this would give me more space, I love how securely and pristinely this case maintains my cards. The divisions offer an opportunity to divide my cards and those I receive from other people. Perhaps best, it is beautiful and it matches all my other Old Leather Classic items. The only thing I wish for is a little leather bag (a purse but acceptable for a man) that I could collect my Old Leather Classic wallet, key book, change purse, money clip, and card case in.
October 9, 2013
Outstanding quality and holds everything I need
I use this as a wallet and it's small enough to fit nicely in a front pocket, yet big enough to carry my essentials cards and such. It's made well, looks great, and stands up well to constant use.
October 9, 2013
Very nice product
Had a beautiful Bosca calling card case for 5 yrs prior to this one. It was very durable but because I'm self employed in construction and essentially use this as a wallet as well, it really took a beating. When I finally decided to replace the one I had, I found this one as being just as attractive and built with the same durable quality. I am really very happy with Bosca wallets. Very smart, attractive, durable and simple. Thank you.

(I don't know your mother. No promises.)
The Winter Meetings are coming to a close and the path for the Giants has been surprisingly – eerily – straightforward? They leave Nashville with 2012 heroes Marco Scutaro and Angel Pagan resigned for a comfortable three and four years respectively and now we're left to decorate our Christmas trees and negotiate a long-term extension with our catcher who, yeah, just won an MVP and stuff. Of course, the offseason is far from over and neither of the biggest free agents, Hamilton and Greinke, have signed anywhere yet, but for the Giants, the payroll is close to maxed out and aside from a platoon outfielder to rev up Gregor Blanco or a backup cupcake baker to… make cupcakes, I guess, they seem pretty much set. (I volunteer for backup cupcake baker.)
Against some odds, it looks like nearly the entire 2012 team will be back for another go at it, which is exciting and definitely different than the offseason after the 2010 championship. I am terribly excited about this.
Meanwhile, pretty much everyone else is in mega-rebuild mode which, if you're the Yankees, means grabbing old Giants players and if you're the Cubs means sitting back and being all, We got this (I sure hope they do – I have a running wager that they will win a World Series by 2016, so it better happen).
I think the most interesting development by far from these meetings, though, was the growing possibility that Hamilton will end up back in Texas after all. I mean, the attraction of DFW obviously made Yu Darvish choose the Rangers, but still, if it happens, it will be unexpected, considering early signs. I am secretly (well, not secretly anymore) hoping it does happen. Hamilton in any other colors would be too weird. People changing teams confuses me. Yeah, I'm obviously perfectly suited to being a baseball fan.
Speaking of which? Michael Young: Stay the hell put. Remember the kid you made cry when you and JD had a catfight? Yeah. That kid is a few years older and probably a few years cuter, too. Not a good idea to not be a Ranger anymore. Viral Video Land would have a field day.

What the 'fiscal cliff' means to you
By TERRY SAVAGE email@example.com or @TerryTalksMoney November 7, 2012 1:28PM
A television feed on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shows Pres. Barack Obama, left, and his daughter, Malia, the day after he was re-elected, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012 in New York. With President Barack Obama elected to another term, U.S. investors dumped stocks Wednesday and turned their focus to a world of problems, including a "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts at home and a deepening recession in Europe. (AP Photo/Henny Ray Abrams)
Updated: May 3, 2013 12:15PM
Q. What's changed in our economic outlook as a result of the presidential and congressional elections?
A. Nothing. We have just edged a lot closer to the "fiscal cliff," meaning we are coming closer to the possibility of tax increases and spending cuts that could destroy our fragile economic recovery.
These are changes that will affect everyone from the poorest recipient of government aid, to the middle class, which will find less in their paycheck and more on their tax bills, to the wealthy, who will not only pay more taxes on income and investment earnings, but send more to the government upon their death.
The balance of power has not changed as a result of this election. The closeness of the outcome means neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have a mandate to rule or an incentive to compromise. And, as part of the cliff, the looming debt ceiling crisis threatens to shut down our country's borrowing power — and with it, the ability to pay the government's bills. A default on refinancing our bonds as they mature would wreak havoc on the world financial system.
There is no single number to put on the "fiscal cliff." It is designed to "find" $7 trillion over the next 10 years, through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. But the true cost could be far greater, as the economy is impacted by this sudden shock.
That's the cliff. It is a long way down — when it comes to the individual, national and global economic impact. Strictly on a personal level, here's what you're likely to see happen if the two sides can't get together:
♦ Payroll Tax Hike: The payroll tax will be going back to 6.2 percent in January from 4.2 percent, leaving you with less money in your paycheck — and the economy with $120 billion less in consumer spending.
♦ Expiration of Bush tax cuts: Rates move up for all brackets, with a top of 39.6 percent. And capital gains rates jump from 15 to 20 percent.
♦ Dividend tax increase: The rate will rise from the current 15 percent to ordinary wage tax rates, hitting seniors trying to live on their dividend income, as well as mutual fund dividend distributions. No wonder the stock market isn't celebrating.
♦ Alternative Minimum Tax: This tax, once designed to catch the wealthy with "too many" deductions, will return to 2001 levels, directly hitting the middle class — raising taxes on about 26 million households by an average of $3,700.
♦ Marriage penalty "fix" is eliminated: The standard deduction for married couples will no longer be twice that of singles, resulting in a tax penalty for married couples.
♦ Earned income credit is eliminated: The working poor will be hit hard by the end of this credit, along with the expiration of the 10 percent income tax bracket, which will revert to 15 percent.
♦ Estate tax exemption drops: Exempt amount reverts to $1 million (from the current $5.12 million) and a 55 percent top rate. This impacts the middle class directly if you consider the total value of your home, your retirement accounts, and your life insurance, if you own it personally.
Surely, there will be some sort of compromise worked out in the next few weeks, by the lame-duck Congress and the re-elected president. But they had better be quick about it. Talking about a "big deal" to restructure the tax system won't save us from the imminent changes that will take place within 60 days. Only swift and broad action through compromise can save us from the fiscal cliff and give us a soft landing. That's the Savage Truth.

AP Interview: Egyptian fights for women's equality

As head of the Egyptian delegation to the two-week meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women, which ends Friday, Tallawy said she has been working hard to prevent any rollback on hard-fought gains including international recognition of women's reproductive and sexual health and rights...

Egypt's women refuse to be intimidated
Egyptian women were at the heart of the revolution that toppled president Hosni Mubarak. Their contribution ranged from work in the labour movement to a female journalist breaking taboos by suing the government for harassment. They walked shoulder to shoulder with men as the Egyptian population demanded the fall of the regime, as did the people of Tunisia, Libya and Yemen. Yet nearly three years later, a poll from the Thomson Reuters Foundation has declared Egypt the worst country for women in the Arab world. So, did the Arab spring lead to a regression of women's rights in the region – and...

Europe: Universities need more women, gender balance at the top
European universities are failing in the way they use human resources. Women are underrepresented at the top levels of academia, and there are good reasons to think that this damages universities.

And only 9% of universities have a women at the top of the organisation. For more statistics, see the European Commission's SHE figures. For more information see WURN.

Indonesia Likely To Have Fewer Women In Parliament
Despite the increase in the number of female candidates in the parliamentary elections held throughout Indonesia on April 9, 2014, the country would likely fail to meet its target of increasing womens representation in the 560-seat Parliament for the 2014-2019 period. Of 6,607 legislative candidates racing for the House of Representatives (DPR) seats in the elections, some 37 percent or 2,467 were women, up from 30 percent in the legislative elections in 2009.

It's a puzzle: Why isn't Iowa electing women?, USA
Iowa — It was among the first states to legalize gay marriage and served as the 2008 campaign liftoff site for the first black president, but in other arenas Iowa isn't quite so progressive – it's also one of just two states to never elect a woman governor or member of Congress. The other is Mississippi, a fact that causes a certain amount of handwringing among Iowa's political classes. We invite our users to read the complete article published May 6 2013

…it comes out and surprises you. I am talking about baseball, of course. (Contrary to what you may think, this is a baseball blog, not a cupcake blog.) I've always been a big believer in the underdog and rooted for Zito through some pretty horrifying starts over the past couple of years, but I can't lie, at this point, I was not expecting yesterday's performance. At all. "What was yesterday's performance?" you might ask, if you live under a rock.
Let's write it out: a complete game shutout with no walks at Coors Field. There are all sorts of fabulous statistics I could quote, but just suffice to say, that doesn't happen. For Zito or for Coors Field. Ev-ah. It was the sort of game that I couldn't exactly celebrate at the end, because I was pinching myself and making sure I hadn't accidentally turned my radio to the spoof Giants station. No such station exists, for the record, but I checked all the same.
So congratulations to Zito. I'm cautious to start talking Comeback Player of the Year just yet, but the Giants may very need an unlikely hero this year and if Barry can do that, I will rather thrilled.
Caption: No, you aren't.
Answer: Yes, I am. That is, yes, I will be. Rather thrilled, I mean. This GIF does not really suit my purposes all that well, but it made me laugh, so I am including it anyway.
Onwards! Yu Darvish made his MLB debut yesterday and it was a wee bit rocky, but nobody really seems to mind that much. Because Darvish is just that much fun. And even if he's not, Yu jokes are just that much fun. We can never get rid of him, for just that reason. The Rangers must have been awfully busy, what with photographing signs with Yu puns on them, but they also managed to reach an extension with Ian Kinsler for five years, worth $75 million. Which, among other things, means he one-ups the millionaire in Some Like it Hot by about 75 times. Although, I wonder, does he have a yacht?
Since Tuesdays are officially GIF days here at Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend – I decided this a full five seconds ago – and that is a hilariously wonderful movie.
Anyhow, if Ian Kinsler really has 75 million now, he should go out and get a yacht. Speaking of which, it just occurred to me that Person of the Moment Barry Zito one-ups millionaires by a full, oh, 127 million. He really needs to get himself a yacht. Pronto.
