Trade Strategy Development and Business Liaison: Sub-program 1.6
DescriptionThe Market Development Division administers this sub-program. The division comprises three branchesthe APEC and Regional Trade Policy Branch, the Trade and Economic Analysis Branch, and the Trade Development Branchand four market access facilitation teams covering processed foods; automotive; information industries; and textiles, clothing and footwear. The divisions area of responsibility also includes the seven State and Territory offices. As part of the machinery-of-government changes instituted by the Government after the October 1998 federal election, the division assumed responsibility for trade finance and insurance. This includes the provision of advice to the Minister for Trade on his obligations under the National Interest Account (administered by the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation), advice that was formerly provided by the Industry, Science and Tourism portfolio. As well, in February 1999, responsibility for the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) was transferred from Sub-program 1.2, Interests in South and South-East Asia, administered by the South-East Asia Division, to Sub-program 1.6. This transfer reflects IOR-ARCs focus on a trade and investment agenda.
Note: EFIC was transferred to DFAT under Administrative Arrangements Orders in October 1998. The negative outlays figure reflects higher than average adjustments for EFIC (ie National Interest Recovery and Repayment Interest Subsidy receipts). n.a.: Not applicable.
Objectives, Performance Indicators and Results
The department negotiated a clear reaffirmation by APEC leaders of the Bogor liberalisation goals in the most difficult economic climate faced by the region in over 50 years. Although APEC was unable to reach consensus on implementing Early Voluntary Sectoral Liberalisation, we negotiated a detailed and balanced package as a building block for broad-based negotiations in the World Trade Organization, and achieved APEC agreement to support the inclusion of industrial products in WTO negotiations. We set benchmarks for improvements in the transparency and specificity of Individual Action Plans during reviews in 1999 of the Australian plan. APEC support was also secured for Australian proposals on international financial reform, improved economic governance in the region, and communicating the benefits of trade and investment liberalisation.
The department achieved strong APEC endorsement of the Australian initiative in 1998 on strengthening public policy, and on financial sector and corporate governance reforms through capacity building. We also achieved APEC endorsement of Australian-led initiatives on electronic commerce in 1998, and secured APEC consensus in 1999 on Australian proposals to strengthen APECs business focus on facilitating trade and improving the cross-border business environment.
In conjunction with New Zealand, we continued to participate in a range of activities relating to standards, conformance, customs, transport and tourism, with the aim of facilitating trade and reducing business costs. With the rescheduling of the ministerial-level meeting originally set for October 1998, outcomes will depend on the ASEAN Economic MinistersAustralia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement joint ministerial meeting in October 1999.
The department provided analysis on a comprehensive range of trade aspects of the domestic economic reform agenda. This analysis helped shape final Government positions on issues such as tariff reform, liberalisation of international air services, the national online strategy, reform in the printing and shipbuilding industries, and the promotion of Australia as a centre for global financial services.
Our submissions to inquiries conducted by parliamentary committees and the Productivity Commission analysed relevant trade-related concerns. Our contribution was reflected in the Productivity Commissions report on air services. Our other submissionson rail services, rural and regional infrastructure, sustainable development, international telecommunications market regulation, international liner cargo shipping, and broadcasting servicesare still being considered by the Productivity Commission, with reports scheduled for release in the next review period.
Opening Markets: The Benefits for Australia (our widely distributed, simple-language brochure) and our work identifying the links between exports and employment, were well received and continue to be widely cited. The monograph, Global Trade Reform: Maintaining Momentum, analysing the potential economic benefits of a new round of multilateral trade negotiations, was highly praised at its launch by Mr Fischer at the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting in Paris in May 1999. Also well received by major business organisations was our analysis of the impact of regional economic developments on Australian trade: Trading with East Asia in Difficult Times: Australia Rises to the Challenge, published as part of the TradeWinds series in November 1998. We also published two major studies examining the development of e-commerce in Australia: Driving Forces on the New Silk Road: The Use of Electronic Commerce by Australian Business, and Creating a Clearway on the New Silk Road: International Business and Policy Trends in Internet Commerce. These studies focused on the opportunities created by e-commerce and the strategies that business and Government might adopt to realise them. They attracted favourable responses. We also contributed to Government assessments of the possible trade impact of the Y2K millennium bug.
The Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC) produces a separate annual report, which is available by telephoning 1800 685 109 (freecall). EFIC also maintains a website at http://www.efic.gov.au. Responsibility for trade finance policy, including policy aspects of the operation of the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation, was transferred from the Industry, Science and Tourism portfolio as part of the machinery-of-government changes after the October 1998 federal election. The full resources of the Export Credit Section were transferred to the department in November 1998; the section quickly achieved full operational status while continuing to consult widely intra-departmentally on the implications of policy and transactional issues. Following this transfer, the department advised the Minister for Trade on his responsibilities under the EFIC Act and implemented the Governments decisions in relation to the application of competitive neutrality policy to EFIC, including the introduction of amending legislation. We also provided advice on the Governments management of EFIC National Interest Account cover to assist Australian exporters in trade and investment activity. The Secretary attends EFIC board meetings as the Government member. In the 199899 financial year, $1 088 million of exports were supported by EFIC National Interest credit insurance. In response to the East Asian economic crisis, National Interest Account arrangements (established in early 1998) were extended for a further period and provided short-term credit insurance for exports of essential goods to both the Republic of Korea and Indonesia. The Government initially approved a $500 million credit insurance facility for the Republic of Korea; this was later decreased to $300 million, demonstrating the private sectors more recent willingness to accept the Republic of Koreas corporate risk as that market recovers. Exporters to the Republic of Korea of major commodities such as sugar, coal, iron ore and other minerals, together with semi-manufactured goods, benefited from the National Interest Account arrangements. The Indonesian arrangement is on a case-by-case basis. The Government has indicated a willingness to cover essential exports to Indonesia, including up to US$327 million for wheat and US$250 million for cotton. Government action in these two countries cases has been instrumental in helping to restore confidence and maintain the level of trade.
Ministers expressed satisfaction with the departments analysis and advice on global economic developments and the impact of these on Australias interests, with a particular focus on the aftermath of the East Asian economic crisis and work on trade aspects of proposed reform of the international financial system. The Secretary participated as a member of the Prime Ministers Task Force on International Financial Reform, which released its report in December 1998. Using our overseas network and working with other Australian economic departments, we promoted the task forces report and recommendations, which included the need for broader representation in international forums. Following the meeting of G7 financial ministers in June 1999, Australia was one of only four countries outside the G7 invited to participate in its Financial Stability Forum. We also played a significant role in the International Economic Policy Group, a high-level interdepartmental group responsible for providing whole-of-government analysis and assessments of key economic issues. Within this group, we made particular contributions on the economic outlook in Japan, China and Papua New Guinea. This participation strengthened Australias capacity to respond effectively to global developments in relation to economic, financial and foreign policy matters.
Through the National Trade Consultation process, we kept representatives of relevant State and Territory government departments and peak industry organisations informed about initiatives. We also invited input in key areas, including Australias response to economic instability in East Asia, support for a new round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Trade Outcomes and Objectives Statement, the work of the Market Development Task Force, and development of an integrated approach to an online trade strategy to facilitate e-commerce. In consultation with Austrade, we achieved positive outcomes from National Trade Consultation working groups on overseas representation, export culture and international trade exhibitions. These outcomes include more effective overseas representation through co-location, and improved means of identifying Australian companies and business representatives in Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Jakarta, London, Seoul and Shanghai. Also, the Commonwealth Government, State and Territory governments, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Australian Industry Group reached an agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding for Improving Coordination of International Trade Exhibitions.
The department has five market access facilitation teams; the achievements of the four teams that fall under Sub-program 1.6 are set out below. Information on the newly created position of Trade Facilitator for Agricultural Productsthe head of the fifth teamis in Sub-program 1.5. Processed Food and Beverages: The department worked closely with industry in Australia and overseas to encourage a specific focus on processed foods in the forthcoming WTO negotiations, including developing processed food interests as a counterweight to traditional rural lobbies. We also led efforts that resulted in the Japanese Government amending regulations that affected Australian exports of orange juice, and coordinated governmentindustry activity to prevent Japan from changing the tariff classification of high-fat cream cheese and thereby restricting Australian exports. Information Industries: As a result of our efforts in collaboration with other agencies and portfolios, Mr Fischer signed an agreement with the Singaporean Government in February 1999 for collaboration on information and communications. This agreement focuses strongly on trade and investment. Five business-to-business agreements between Australian and Singaporean companies were also signed, and an AustraliaSingapore Joint Information Technology Council was established to encourage closer business relationships. Throughout the year in review, we led a push in the WTO for members of the Information Technology Agreement to commence a work program to address non-tariff measures that impede trade in information technology goods. We are working with Australian industry in this forum to address a range of issues relating to international standards and conformity assessment regimes. Automotive: Together with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, and with Austrade and the Federal Office of Road Safety, we developed a comprehensive Automotive Trade Strategy. Outcomes of this strategy include new contracts in India, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and the United States for Australian automotive products. We intensified our efforts to reduce automotive trade barriers significantly in key markets. Outcomes include an expectation of increased access to China and Taiwan once they join the WTO, and a commitment by Thailand to facilitate increased imports of Australian components. We also assisted several companies with specific market access issues, and achieved progress in fostering regional cooperation, including through the APEC Automotive Dialogue which Australia chairs. Textiles, Clothing and Footwear: The department achieved its goal of having a Natural Fibres, Textiles and Clothing Trade Facilitation Committee established within the Asia-Pacific Textiles and Clothing Foruman Australian initiative. We lobbied successfully for reduction of the Indian tariff on raw wool from 20 per cent (ad valorem plus additional) to 15 per cent, and a reduction of Canadas preferential tariff rate on denim from 14.2 per cent to 13 per cent. We also facilitated exports of Australian fabric to Indonesia by providing information on, and clarification of, Indonesian customs requirements.
During the year in review, the Market Development Task Force, chaired by the Secretary, pursued 110 priority trade and investment objectives in 27 markets. Success or substantial progress was achieved for 55 of these objectives, with some progress on a further 42. Through this activity, we supported Australian business by helping secure increased access to overseas markets, including India, the Gulf States, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Poland, in areas such as agrifood products and industrial goods.
The department published two major studies examining the development of e-commerce in Australia, Driving Forces on the New Silk Road, and Creating a Clearway on the New Silk Road. These focused on the opportunities created by e-commerce and the strategies that business and Government might adopt to realise them. As well as distributing complimentary copies, we sold over 550 hard copies of each report, and the online versions are currently being accessed more than 1 000 times weekly through the Internet. The studies have also been drawn on extensively by ministers, other government departments and business. In addition, we supported follow-up work by Mr Fischer and the Parliamentary Secretary for Trade, Mr Larry Anthony, by promoting the reports within the business community, and contributing to broader work by the Government to develop online strategies for Australia. The department developed a portfolio Y2K websiteonline from 14 May 1999providing the public with access to detailed information on international Y2K issues. This site is updated regularly in the lead-up to critical dates for possible computer and processor failures in 1999 and 2000.
The department was active in encouraging the development of a trade policy agenda in the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation through convening a meeting of IOR-ARC senior officials in Perth in December 1998. The recommendations of this meeting were subsequently endorsed by the biennial IOR-ARC Council of Ministers meeting in Mozambique in March 1999, where we secured agreement to our proposal to implement a trade and investment policy agenda for the association. This agenda aims to increase the transparency of members trade and investment regimes, to the benefit of business.
The Trade Policy Advisory Council, supported by the departments secretariat, is a consultative forum for the Minister for Trade. During the year in review, council meetings continued to provide an important source of high-level business advice to the minister and the department on a range of international and domestic issues affecting trade and trade competitiveness. Significant issues included the impact of financial and economic developments in Asia, ways in which Government and business might work together to address the Y2K problem, and preparation for the new round of multilateral trade negotiations. A list of council members is provided at Appendix 12. The Business Relations Program operated by the departments State and Territory offices has also resulted in stronger links with business through regular consultations, briefings by heads of missions and policy seminars. In collaboration with Austrade and AusAID, the department produced a bookletMultilateral Procurement: A Guide to Winning Contractsto raise business awareness of multilateral procurement opportunities. This effort was reinforced through links with State and Territory governments and peak industry associations under the National Trade Consultation process. Also important was the work of the departments Victoria office in liaising with the Committee for Melbourne and with business on opportunities arising from the meeting of the heads of procurement for all UN agencies in April 1999. We worked closely with the private sector to organise the highly successful Australia Reception at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 1999. The reception, co-hosted by Mr Downer, attracted some two thousand global business and political leaders. It provided a unique opportunity to present Australia as a modern, dynamic and culturally diverse country, as well as to highlight Australias experience in weathering the regional economic downturn. World Economic Forum members were encouraged to visit Australia and to participate in the East AsiaPacific Economic Summit 2000, which will be held in Melbourne immediately prior to the Sydney Olympics.
Successful cooperation with the private sector to design, manage and stage on a commercial basis the international business forum, the Australia Summit. The last Australia Summit, held in Melbourne in June 1998, provided Australian business with a valuable forum in which to discuss future trade and investment opportunities in the context of regional economic renewal. During the year in review, Mr Fischer determined that the scope future Australia Summit business forums should be smaller and more targeted. Accordingly, in conjunction with other Commonwealth and Victorian departments and agencies and the private sector, we commenced planning the next event, entitled the AustraliaChina Trade and Investment Summit. This forum will involve high-level Australian and Chinese business people, and will be linked to the expected visit of the Chinese President, Mr Jiang Zemin, in September 1999.
As part of our efforts to satisfy the needs of the business community for relevant commercial information, we produce a number of statistical publications that contain comprehensive details about the composition, size and direction of Australias trade with the rest of the world (details in Appendix 6). These are supplemented by a market information service for the general community. We also maintain sites on the departmental website that provide current data on Australias trade with East Asia (http://www.dfat.gov.au/hot/index.html), and a series of Country Fact Sheets (http://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/stats.html). During the year we distributed over 3 500 publications, and handled around 1 200 general inquiries. Our 35 public presentations on the impact of the East Asian crisis, Australias trade policy approach, e-commerce, and benefits of more open markets, were also well received. The value placed on these information sources and analytical briefings was reflected in highly complimentary feedback on their relevance and timeliness from portfolio ministers, other departments, the business community and the general public.
Mr Fischer released the Trade Outcomes and Objectives Statement 1999 on 10 February 1999. Business reacted positively to the document, welcoming the frank analysis of regional and global economic and trading conditions, and the clear explanation of the Governments trade strategies for the coming year. Detailed coverage of 16 key markets and a range of industry sectors and emerging issues provided an important point of reference for business. As well as making it available through the departmental website (http://www.dfat.gov.au/toos), we distributed 5 400 printed copies of the report.

THANK YOU. I thought it was all in my head. It does sound a lot like Weezer, doesn't it?
I logged in for the first time in months to say BOOO. I can't believe monsters are actually trying to one-up each other on stupid jokes about a man's death.
I'm done.
Sorry for coming off as aggressive, didn't mean to be that harsh. I just found the gif so inappropriate and might have overreacted a tiiiiny bit. There. Now let's go back to loving alpacas!
What made you think for a second that a Glee gif was in any way fitting or appropriate to the tone of the post? Ugh. UGH.
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
This is just plain horrible.
I just can't wrap my head around Smocke's motivation for leaving the island. He is a SMOKE MONSTER that can only take the appareance of DEAD PEOPLE. What the hell is there for him in the normal world? HE IS MADE OF SMOKE.
Oh, and that little speech about how his mother was crazy… HE IS MADE OF PSYCHO SMOKE! What is his mother supposed to be? Ugh. And yet, I still love this show.
The only downside to finally kicking my Gossip Girl habit right before christmas (clean for the holidays!) is that I don't really enjoy the recaps anymore. To the point where I might start watching again. The only question is, what do I value the most, my eyes or lolz?
I caught a glimpse of Elvis Costello in there. I'm sold.
Ugh, ok, sorry to have to say this but…
I get that you're trying to please your audience here Gabe, but if I wanted to see videos my mom forwarded to me yesterday, I'd un-block her on Gmail! (JOKE! She's not blocket! Yet!)
All I'm saying here, is that Videogum is better than this. Sometimes you have to make a choice between what is POPULAR and what is RIGHT, Gabe! That's what that poster in my Eglish class sophomore year was about, right? What videos blogs should post? Nailed it.
You're right, there just aren't enough pictures of naked (famous) ladies on the internet! Why must we waste the precious internet space on a naked funny guy?!
This week's SNL was mediocre at best. Jude Law was pretty bland, and the writing was lazy. SPRIIIIING BREAAAAK or whatever.
Oh and Gabe, the NBC site is restricted too. You've tried sending us there instead before… it was restricted then too. Stop trying to trick us foreigners!
I like how the trailer manages to capture the action and excitement of the movie. No, wait, sorry, meant to say that NOTHING HAPPENS IN IT.
I was going to send an e-mail about how the first video doesn't show for me, but I realized that:
1. I don't need to see it
2. No one needs to see it. This bug is helping make the world a better place.
I only have two concerns so far, and I know that you guys are totally excited to hear what they are:
1. The comments not being on the same page. Like Captain Boring said, I predict a lot of failed funnies because of repeat snark. Also, it makes it hard to follow the chronology of the comments (SAT word!)
2. Not being able to see the upvotes/downvotes on our own comments by going to the profile page. I can barely remember what I typed 17 seconds ago, so going back through posts to see if my fellow monsters validated my opinions and zings will be an issue.
That's it, that's what I had to say. I'll go back to my cave now.
"a few times tries"? What? I blame this on the new design.
It took me a few times tries (and some yelling… quite a bit of yelling) but it finally happened in the end!
OK everyone, stop panicking! Call off the rescue team, I figured it out. Back to your day now.
I still don't know I make the hidden comments appear. Yelling "SHOW YOURSELF!" hasn't worked yet. All this change and technology is scaring this little muppet baby!
Or some of us are just getting up at 2pm, but in another time zone. A BETTER time zone, if you ask me.
Why do people keep letting Milla Jovovich speak on camera? NO THANK YOU
I don't know if it's because I'm been in a sleepless haze all day or what, but this cat has me almost lizzing. Seriously, had to pause & pee. (You're welcome for all that information)
Thanks for trying Gabe, but the NBC site is reserved for the US too. I do appreciate the description of the clips though.
Lots and lots of Soft Gabe please!

Quake 3
Quake III Arena is a real-world OpenGL benchmark that we have been using here at TweakTown for quite a while now because it has proven itself to be one of the best gaming benchmarks around to compare a wide range of different products. Quake III is getting very old, but is still one of the best ways of testing video and PC systems for any instabilities and best performance.
For our final test we see the MSI motherboard well and truly take the lead over the others. There is quite a big gap between the four and this can clearly be seen with the ASUS and MSI which have both performed extremely well.

BBC Interrupts "Mrs Brown's Boys" For The Death Of Nelson Mandela, Gets 850 Complaints
Not even the death of a global statesman can get between these people and their favourite bawdy sitcom.
1. Nelson Mandela's death was a big story for all news outlets — but some 850 BBC viewers wrote to complain about the blanket coverge.
2. BBC One switched 2.75 million viewers from the knockabout slapstick fun of Mrs Brown's Boys to live rolling news coverage, something the Beeb does very rarely.
3. Some people not quite in tune with world events (or South Africa's struggle for equality and justice) were less than pleased.
6. The BBC's news director James Harding told the Beeb's own Newstalk programme on Friday:
The decision-making is one around the significance of Nelson Mandela. Nobody needs a lecture on his importance but we are probably talking about the most important statesman, the most significant statesman, of the last 100 years, a man who defined freedom, justice, reconciliation, forgiveness. The importance of his life and marking his death seems extremely clear to us
7. Perhaps a better argument is that the same night, Britain was being battered by storms and a tidal surge, causing some of the worst flooding in living memory.
Some viewers though the Beeb should have given the weather more prominence in its coverage. James Harding admitted he understood the point about providing more weather coverage, but insisted that the corporation was covering the destruction via local radio and bbc.co.uk.

GameStop appoints new CEO, promotes several executives {Joystiq}
Jun 8th 2010 5:13AM I despise Gamestop in every way. Basically a monopoly on the video game retail industry and they pay their employees completely garbage pay. Minimum wage no matter what state your in and the average employee only gets around 8 hours a week if that. The store managers don't even get salary and have to work overtime. The turnover rate there is astronomical and for good reason. Everyone that works there hates it immensely.
Great company policies there, Gamestop. I doubt you will be the top dog as more people go online for their purchases as your online purchases suck. NEVER buy used games from Gamestop online, ever. The ones they sell you online are the games that had to go to their refurbishment warehouses and oftentimes you won't get the original box or manual.

Nobody gets between Rachel and her $500,000!
She may be one of the most annoying HouseGuests in "Big Brother" history, but there's no doubt Rachel Reilly deserved to win Season 13 last night -- and she did just that.
While Rachel, Porsche and Adam went into the finale as potential victors, Adam was the first to go, leaving the two ladies to face the jury.
Shelly's tie-breaking vote sealed Rachel's fate as winner.
You may hate her ... but with four Head of Household victories, 2 Power of Veto wins and a fiance who was evicted from the house ... twice ... the feisty red-head really played the game.
Are you happy with the winner? Sound off below!
Ann: 1234 days ago
now will she go away since she has the money? she is one caddy, mean-spirited, hateful girl.
TerryLea: 1234 days ago
I will never watch Big Brother again. It was so contrived and scripted. Everything the house guests said in the diary room, shown on the show, appeared like they were reading it and most of them are not good readers nor good actors. I had the live feeds and the way production edited the show barely resembled what really happened. It was obvious from the beginning that production was going to do whatever it took to promote Jeff and Jordan being furthered in the game and they certainly weren't going to let Rachel leave because they deemed her important for ratings. They needed Rachel to remain in the game because the rest of the house guests were so boring and dull, viewers needed a reason to keep watching. What a farce. The most rotten, disgusting person on the show this year deserved to win because it was the most disgusting season in Big Brother history. Congratulations, to Rachel, the Queen of Disgusting. She certainly deserved it.
chartman: 1234 days ago
so happy rachel won, can't believe skank porscha was in the final two, but then if she weren't it would have been adam who turned out to be a liar did not keep his word about voting for the person who won last hoh. guess skank porscha must have rubbed him a little and bent over in his face to show him her fake boobs. plus porscha won 5,000 that she kinda kept quiet. rachel had to deal with these two floaters for a long time, for that she deserved to win. CONGRATULATIONS.
TerryLea: 1234 days ago
@ chartman....I never saw Porsche having sex live on camera or giving anyone a ******** for millions to see like brazen, skanky Rachel. lol
Kim: 1234 days ago
Can't stand that red headed cry baby. Geez what a disappointment.
KG: 1234 days ago
She is very deserving of the money and a great player. Love her.
Rick: 1234 days ago
I had never watched Big Brother before and won't again. Danielle was right. Rachel was lucky it wasn't a personality contest. Serena could have been talking to Rachel. Evil, ugly on the inside. This kind of person needs payback, not to be the winner. "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings." PLEASE! She is just a nasty person.
Carol R: 1234 days ago
What a crock of crap! Will never watch the show again. I agree with the othe comments that it was likely contrived, thereby meaning the producers had decided early on who was going to win. No one with half a brain would pick that whiny idiot to continue on in the show, let alone win. Reality TV isn't real and probably never has been. When we stop watching this crap, they will be forced to create different things for us.
Faith Cochran: 1234 days ago
Congratulations Rachel. You might not have been the most like person in the house, but you played the best game. Can't wait until next summer.
Mare: 1234 days ago
Rachel definately deserved to win. She played and against all odds managed to thwart all attempts to get her out. Once Brendon was gone from the house Rachel was more likeable. Porcha on the other hand did nothing but have a couple of well placed wins, she did not deserve to win. Really who stays in a house with someone and not talk to them for 59 day, Por*****hats who. Great job Rachel!
Christy: 1234 days ago
Hated Rachel her season but loved loved her this
season, she played the best game and deserved to take home the beacon to her man. Yea Yea Yea
Johnny Jones: 1234 days ago
Rachel is the most undeserving person in the world, she is the cruliest person mean spirited and so ungodly ugly inside and out, like danielle said why would you reward some scank dog with all that money for being so nasty to people? Think about it you fools! Jordan you were the biggest fool because she was steady trying to get you and Jeff out of the house what a bunch of ding dongs. Jeff you are the biggest baby of them all i really did enjoy you @ one time but you are a winer and thought you were above being put on the block. Look where you ended up. Thanks Shelly for giving Rachel that money would she have done it for u...NO
Ging: 1234 days ago
I would have liked to see Porsche win, because newbies never had a even chance in the BB game. I have watched BB since season 1, and the more seasons they have the more BB productions tell them what to say, etc., and as far as our votes count, then show results of them as voting is going. When you are hiding them, I question the reason.
Still congrads to Rachel--now get a roof overtop your and Bren's heads.
Missy: 1233 days ago
Loved Rachel this season. Any mean spirited thing she said she did it to peoples faces. However, the the mean bitches did all their henfest hidden away....mostly in the hoh room.
So happy Rachel won, she worked her ass off for that win and totally deserved it.
Katie: 1233 days ago
Rachel so deserved to win !!Why wouldnt she who deserved Porscha???Kalia???Adam????Rachel is her own person and dont care who likes her thats why I love Rachel and was a true competitor!!!!Good job Rachel

Tell the Virginia General Assembly that we can't afford double-taxation to pay for our healthcare system. We need to expand Medicaid to take back our federal tax dollars and ensure that 400,000 in-need Virginians have access to basic healthcare. Expanding Medicaid will:
• Create 30,000 new jobs for Virginians
• Recover $5 million federal tax dollars every day, allowing the legislature to fund other key priorities like education, economic development and foster care programs
• Stop taxing Virginians twice on the healthcare for which we already pay
• Provide life-saving healthcare to the 400,000 currently uninsured Virginians
Sign the petition to tell legislators we can't afford to play partisan politics with Virginians' lives, we need to ensure access to basic healthcare for all Virginians.

Heather - Don't forget that you can use a rubber stamp to impress 'thank you' into just released soap. And you will have the freedom of whatever shape, size, of soap mold you choose. I bet you can find just the fancy script you are looking for in a rubber stamp - lots more selection than in molds. |

APCO's experts have always kept an eye toward what's next when advising clients dealing with issues critical to their business. APCOForum is a gathering of some of those insights. Subscribe today to get the latest on business, government and society from APCO's team around the world.
In July 2014, José Manuel Barroso's EU Commission proposed the Circular Economy package, a legislative package regulating levels of waste, recycling and incineration. The purpose was to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, create jobs and stimulate economic growth.
A recent poll put the NHS at the top of voters concerns in the UK, comfortably ahead of immigration and the economy. Meanwhile, the media has been awash with tales of Accident and Emergency Departments failing to meet targets that stipulate they must see patients within four hours. Moreover, the Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband has apparently promised to 'weaponise' the NHS as a key theme of his General Election campaign. It is therefore safe to say that healthcare is currently at the top of the political agenda.
In the past several years, "inequality" has become a watch word. The 99 percent movement, executive pay and bank bailouts all made headlines following the financial crisis. There is growing recognition that vast income inequality is not good for the economy as a whole. But in thinking about inequality, in this country and around the world, there is more in play than just income inequality.
I was recently in Jackson Hole, Wyoming producing a video for a client -- the first in an episodic series, thoughtfully crafted to be an authentic expression of the client's brand and to evoke a mood that is uniquely achieved through video.
Elections are interesting things. A couple of months ago the United States shook itself up and a couple of days ago Greece reminded us that di̱mokratía is a Greek word. Soon it will be the turn of the UK.
Whether it's you, a trend-setting brand or a non-profit organization, our avatars, the images that represent us everywhere from social media to gaming worlds, are an opportunity to express ourselves and reveal some of our personality. But how do others interpret them?
With such complexity at play, several colleagues in APCO's Sustainable Growth practice group have identified "5 Watch Outs" we believe will gain even greater attention in 2015 and likely mature into full-blown priorities for business and policy leaders over the coming years.

BSOD while OC'ing, just trying to figure it out.
I recently replaced my motherboard with an Asus M4A79T Deluxe from a Gigabyte board. I'm running an AMD 965BE currently.
Previously on the Gigabyte board, I ran 3.8gz @ 1.425v no problem; it could run Prime95 torture all night long. With the new Asus board, if I up the multiplier at all, with or without changing the CPU volts, it will blue screen within a minute of running Prime95. All of my temps are under 54c as well. Just wondering wtf is up, and maybe if the RAM is disagreeing with the Northbridge chip? Nbridge is an AMD 790FX, and I'm running 8GB Gskill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ. This is the same BSOD I get every time; any info would be greatly appreciated.

The odds of both boards requiring the same voltages for the same overclock are pretty much zero. Unfortuneately changing boards also means you will need to change some settings and redo your overclock, then stablity test your overclock all over again. Unless somebody made up a magic formula for this that I'm not aware of.
I can only assume that you found the chip-set drivers for your new board, even then it is sometimes best to reinstall the Op system when changing to a new board. The new board might also require higher or lower chip-set voltages, higher or lower FSB and V-core voltages. Perhaps even using a different divider for your memory or working with the memory settings will help. In general the DDR3 boards are easiest to set up using the linked and synced memory settings and usually the 2T command rate is more stable. |

The crash occurred in ataport.sys - so it's likely that the overclock is stressing out your motherboard, and that's causing the crash.
Try adding cooling to your northbridge and southbridge to see if that helps. |

Thanks for all of the replies guys! I messed around with some settings, and upped the NB voltage to 1.2 and CPU/NBv to 1.2 as well. FSB is @ 206mhz with a 17.5x multiplier, and CPUv is 1.45v. So I'm pushing 3.6ghz stable after running Prime95 Torture for 2 hours. I tried going back down to 200mhz and upping the multiplier to 18x; Within 2 seconds of starting up Torture test, BSOD. So, it seems that I really can't up the multiplier like I could on the other board; this Asus board seems to hate it, even with 1.5v CPU Core. (Previous board I could hit 19x no problem) It also runs very stable with everything at Auto at just 18x multiplier I really don't want to increase my FSB anymore to up my clock, but it seems as though it would be my only option. What do you guys think about me upping the FSB to say maybe 210mhz? If I really have no other stable options, I'll keep it at 3.6, but that seems a little useless for a BE processor with a stock clock of 3.4ghz. I'm really a noob when it comes to seriously messing around with voltages, so any tips would be awesome. How would I know wether or not to raise or lower voltages, and which voltages to achieve what I'm looking for? |

Prolly a little late, but I have a similar setup to you (same board, similar memory from G.Skill, same CPU) and I too am having the same BSOD issues that you experienced.
What I found is that the BIOS (latest - 2304) is very buggy, and although you set vcore in BIOS, for whatever reason, sometimes when you boot it will revert to default and that will cause the BSOD. Even at stock settings, with stock vcore, the Asus M4A79T Deluxe board with the current BIOS the vcore setting is very buggy and can and does drop below even the stock vcore voltage. I have no idea why this occurs, but all it is definitely BIOS related. I have emailed Asus and am waiting for a reply. All I can suggest to keep things simple is do not try and overclock the CPU on the M4A79T Deluxe until a new (bug free) BIOS is released, instead look to overclocking your memory as dram voltage changes in the BIOS are much more stable and work as expected. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sammy!
Facts about Sammy
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sammy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This is Sammy - he's Harper's brother - they are lab/shepherd mixes. He is outgoing , silly, playful and curious. He likes to rough house with his brother. He gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids.
Interested adopters can find our adoption application on our website - http://arkanpawsanimalrescue.webnode.com/forms/
Other Pets at ArkanPaws Animal Rescue - Arkansas Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sammy, a Conway German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever for sale in Conway, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Conway.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conway already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Conway breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conway paves the way for another one to be saved.

This morning I decided to press play on this brand new Michael Jackson album. Got to admit, i'm thoroughly impressed with the album. From the production side, and musically. The record label SONY releases the official video for the Justin Timberlake featured "Love Never Felt So Good". The Timbaland produced single features Michael Jackson videos in the background and fans along with Justin Timberlake imitating the late pop singer. Dance moves and all.
The album is scheduled and expected to sell 120k-140k in it's first week. Not bad at all. Album is titled XSCAPE and is in stores now.

Hi, Lips are perhaps the most alluring feature on your face. And just as it's important to keep your facial skin healthy and glowing, it is also essential to keep your lips supple! The skin on your lips requires just as much nourishment and care that you bestow on your face. Your lips are just as prone to damage by environmental, physical and ultraviolet radiation. However, it can be one of the areas most neglected by women. Soft and Supple It is extremely important to keep your lips moisturized at all times.

Posted for Beauty On November 20, 2008
Hi, The internet is sprawling with many sugar coated reviews about various skin care products that each one seems to be better than the other. It's almost as if no product is bad. How I wish that was true. Unfortunately that's not the case! Here are 4 commonly used skin care products that can actually do more harm than good. Read on… Apricot Scrubs Actually apricot particles are not exactly round. They are more angular and therefore have rough edges. When you rub it against your skin, it tends to stretch and rip off the pores. It's best to stick to mild scrubs like Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm or Exfoderm Forte. They are superior exfoliating lotions that contains phytic acid that help to make the skin smooth and supple. Benzoyl Peroxide Avoid cleansers and moisturizers that contain benzoyl peroxide. To be on the safer side, it's always better to use lipsticks or lip glosses that contain SPF and are able to shield your lips from harmful UV radiations of the sun. As important it is to know what to use on your skin, it is also important to know what to avoid. Best of Luck! Enemies Of Your Skin!

Represented by a delegation of nearly four dozen students, and an equally impressive number of alumni, Palmer College had quite a prominent presence at the 2011 California Chiropractic Association (CCA) Legislative Conference event at the state capitol in Sacramento on May 10.
The CCA Leg Con program provides an opportunity for doctors and students to meet with state officials and key assistants, to discuss healthcare-related issues and pending legislation with practice-impacting consequences for the chiropractic profession in California.
For the third year in a row, the Santa Clara County CCA District chapter sponsored bus transportation for local CCA-member doctors as well as West Campus Student CCA members. The bus departed from the West Campus at 7:15 a.m., and the College hosted a continental breakfast for the collective delegation prior to departure.
"Once again, Palmer College's West Campus had the largest student contingent supporting the CCA Legislative Conference in Sacramento," said West Campus President Dr. Bill Meeker.
"One thing that always makes me proud to be a Palmer alumnus is the enthusiasm that our students have for chiropractic. So many of our students end up in leadership positions as a result of activism while students; for example, the majority of next year's CCA officers are Palmer grads."
Current CCA executive officers include: Dr. Robert Walsh, D.C., West '95, CCA vice president; Dr. David Paris, D.C., West, ''01, secretary; and Dr. Maia James, D.C., West, '01, immediate past president. Nominated for 2011 CCA executive officer positions include: Dr. Walsh, chief financial officer; Dr. Paris, second vice president; and Dr. Tracy David Cole, West '89, first vice president.
"On behalf of the West Campus CCA chapter, we want to thank the Santa Clara CCA district, and, in particular, Dr. Mike McMurray, for generously organizing the bus transportation, once again; Dr. McMurray leads by example, as he has not missed a Leg Con day since 1988," said Dr. Gary de Wet, West Campus associate professor, and West Campus Student CCA faculty adviser for 12 years.
"It's always nice to reconnect with former students at Leg Day, many of whom credit Palmer for fostering an awareness of the importance of getting politically involved as students, which is why so many of our alumni have remained active in the CCA as practicing doctors, and aspire to leadership positions at the society and statewide levels."
This year's Leg Con event was rather unique, due to the fact there was no pending legislation with adverse consequences for the chiropractic profession. Dr. de Wet says this can be attributed, in part, to the efforts of the students and doctors who have made the Leg Con trek to Sacramento since the event was introduced more than two decades ago.
"This shows what we can achieve when working as a unified association. And the fact that there was no pending legislation with potential adverse consequences for the profession made our meetings with the various representatives more congenial, as this year's Leg Day was more about educating and informing, than lobbying against a pending bill or proposed legislation."
Current Santa Clara County CCA District President Dr. David Hatami, '90 West alumnus, was also pleased, and impressed, by the strong showing of West Campus students.
"Today's students are better informed, and much more engaged, which is clearly the baseline for their success," said Dr. Hatami. "The strong presence of Palmer students, faculty and alumni was acknowledged by several politicians and their staff. This was a great opportunity to unite with our colleagues, and to discuss our concerns with the legislators."
West Campus Student CCA President Karo Isajan said the CCA Leg Day provides an equally educational and inspiring experience for the participating students.
"The CCA Legislative Conference is one of those events where doctors of chiropractic and chiropractic students come together as one force, to advocate for their patients and fellow citizens," said Isajan.
"We learn so much about what happens politically, and how important it is that we stay in the political game as a profession. For those who choose to go, and to stretch themselves outside the mandatory class hours, there is a higher reward of knowledge and self-fulfillment, which translates to future success in practice."
In addition to Dr. Hatami, other Palmer alumni who joined current West students for the bus ride to Sacramento included Dr. Robert Chatfield, West, '83; Dr. David Hoewisch, Davenport, '82; and Dr. Grace Lau, West, '90.
West Campus students who attended the 2011 CCA Leg Day event included: Bernie Alfonso, Meghan Austin-Dowling, Jachin Black, Isaac Borowiec, Justin Brame, Anne Bui, Ciara Cappo, Aimee Carrol, Jesus Cazares, Jeff Chan, Olivia Chu, Taylor Cox, Nick Cruze, Cristina Diaz, Amanda Dluzniewski, Nichelle Francavilla, Danielle Fratellone, Baljinder Gill, Karo Isajan, Stephanie Johnson, Joshua Kinney, Andrew Lopez, Graham Mankey, Deborah Marin, Vanessa Nordin, Nicole O'Dell, Allison Schroeder, Supreet Shah, Megan Thoma, Marcus Waters, Beth Wisniewski, and Jessi Wright.

WPDFD Issue #68 - November 01, 2003
Where I usually write about the 'right' and 'wrong' in Web page design, this time it's going to be slightly different. 'Right' and 'left!' If you read these articles regularly you will probably have noticed that I go out of my way to make the distinction between 'designers' and 'programmers' when it comes to Web page design. These are very loose terms but roughly, I think of the 'designer' as the person who carries out the more creative side of the work – the layout, general look and feel and presentation.
Adobe's new Creative Studio is a suite of their most popular programs bundled-up together - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive and Acrobat plus a new utility called Version Cue that keeps track of project versions. Although Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat do have their uses in Web design, it is GoLive and Photoshop that I'm going to concentrate on here as they are the most relevant. They will be available separately as new licenses or upgrades when Creative Studio becomes available in November.
Photoshop just gets better. At a casual glance, it hasn't changed much since version 7 but then how do you improve a program that is just about as perfect as they get? Well, unlike some programs that add features for the sake of adding features, Photoshop adds very little by way of new features, what it does is to improve on ones that it already has. I have loads of photos from various digital cameras on my hard disk and I have always valued Photoshops 'File Browser' facility.
Microsoft have just been successfully sued for half a billion dollars by a small company called Eolas, who claim to hold the patent rights for the technology that permits plug-ins like Flash and QuickTime to work in browsers – and the judges seem to agree. The upshot of all this is that Microsoft has to alter Internet Explorer so that plug-ins can't launch automatically as they do at present.

Burkina Faso misfire again in scoreless draw with Equatorial Guinea
BATA, Equatorial Guinea -- Three quick thoughts from Wednesday's 0-0 draw between Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso in Group A of the 2015 African Nations Cup.

The first two games of Burkina Faso's African Nations Cup was neatly summed up by a passage of play six minutes before half-time.

WASHINGTON, DC, April 2, 2007 -- Joe Acker, President of the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association (SOCMA), released the following statement on the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Site Security Regulations announced today. SOCMA will have further comments in the coming days as we analyze the rule.
"SOCMA wants to commend DHS for their hard work in promulgating these regulations. We support the phased-in approach to the rules, but would like to have seen more time given for companies to perform their security vulnerability assessment (SVA), especially small companies with limited resources. The shortened time frame will make it extremely difficult for companies to evaluate the new rules and then perform the appropriate tasks in the prescribed time frame required by the rule.
"Secondly, DHS's decision to limit alternative SVA's to only Tier 4 facilities is disappointing. Facilities that have taken the proper action over the last 5 years -- which include all of SOCMA's member facilities -- will need to unnecessarily re-conduct risk assessments, even though nothing has changed in their overall risk profiles.
"Lastly, SOCMA understands and supports DHS's intent to use guidance for assisting facilities in meeting the new security standards. SOCMA expects that many risk reduction measures that could be taken by facilities will not be captured in the guidance. These risk reduction measures should be given the same consideration as measures found in the DHS guidance materials.
"We look forward to continuing to work with DHS to safeguard SOCMA member facilities. We are confident that SOCMA members have taken the appropriate steps to meet the standards through their commitment to SOCMA's mandatory ChemStewards® program."
The rule can be found on the DHS website at http://www.dhs.gov.
SOCMA is the leading trade association, serving the specialty-batch and custom chemical industry since 1921. SOCMA's nearly 300 members employ more than 100,000 workers across the country and produce 50,000 products valued at $60 billion annually.

Mike Pouncey came into this world first, but Maurkice Pouncey came into the professional football world first, and Mike Pouncey may be the beneficiary of that.
They may be identical twins, but they are not identical players, and the challenge for NFL teams is to look at Mike and not see Maurkice.
ICONMike Pouncey reminds scouts of his twin brother -- and that's not a bad thing.
NFL scouts are acknowledging that Maurkice's success with the Steelers as a rookie is hard to ignore when they are assessing his twin brother. "Even if it's subliminally, his brother's success is a factor," said one AFC college scouting director. "The fact that his brother played so well so quickly and has been a good character guy, a leader and shown maturity all reflects well on Mike. And everyone you talk to down at Florida loves both of them."
When I have asked different scouts what they think of Mike Pouncey, the first thing out of their mouths usually is a comparison to Maurkice. I've heard, "He's not as good as his brother," several times. I also heard, "He compares to his brother well, and the fact that his brother played so well makes him more appealing."
Their bodies are virtually undistinguishable, with the exception of tattoos. At the combine this week, Mike was 6-5.0, 303 with an arm length of 32 ¼ and hands that measured 9 ¾. Last year at the combine, Maurkice measured 6-4.4, 304 with an arm length of 32 ½ and a hand size of 10 inches.
Neither participated in the bench press, but the suspicion is Mike may be stronger. Many scouts are convinced Maurkice is more athletic, however.
"His brother is a lot more athletic," an AFC national scout told me. "I thought this guy is a little more stiff and he doesn't bend as well. I think that's why he stayed in school."
When I asked Maurkice to compare himself to his brother, he said he is faster. But he said his brother was a better player. "He's a lot better than me," he said. "In college, I honestly thought he was. He graded out better than me every week."
If Maurkice Pouncey had been a bust for the Steelers, his brother Mike might have been seen in a different light.
At the combine, Mike said he doesn't think people can see a difference between he and Maurkice on tape. "We really play the same," he said. "Obviously we're the same personality but I feel like we're the same player."
Asked if he does anything better than his brother, Mike said, "I think I block in the open field better."
Mike may have more versatility. He played some games at defensive tackle for the Gators, and made his mark as a guard before shifting to center in 2010 when his brother vacated that spot. At center, Mike struggled initially with shotgun snaps, but eventually seemed to get the hang of it. Scouts believe Mike can play either position.
Maurkice was chosen with the 18th pick in the draft by the Steelers. Mike is not expected to be chosen quite that high. But he probably won't stay on the board a lot longer than his brother did. As the consensus interior lineman at either center or guard, Mike probably will be taken in the bottom third of the first round. It will be a shock if he makes it to round two.
Maurkice has been too good for Mike to go that low.

LUCKNOW: The issue of higher compensation - six time the circle rate as promised by the ruling Samajwadi Party in its poll manifesto - to farmers seems to have got in a turf war between the state's bureaucracy and its political bosses. Most of the key departments in charge of undertaking government's development initiatives have termed the government's decision as "economically unviable." The SP government, on the hand, is keen on fulfilling its promise.
Circle rates of land are determined at the level of district magistrates on the basis of a survey of existing market rates at which land has been sold and by taking feedback from buyers and builders. Subsequently, a tentative rate list is made, for which objections are invited. Circle rates are then notified, after taking into consideration these objections. Though the DM surveys are mandatory at least once every two years, in certain regions, rates may be revised more than once in a year, depending upon demand.
The differences started at the department of revenue, the nodal agency for formulating the state's new land acquisition policy. Attempting to force fit the Samajwadi government's election promise of acquiring land at six times the circle rate, the department heard from several departments, which include the industries, irrigation, housing and public works departments, who have raised issues about the practicality of the decision.
Speaking to TOI, a senior government official said, "To begin with, the decision will artificially inflate market rates. With a bulk of the state government funds being channelised for paying farmers, this will pose a serious impediment for other development activities. Already, it is well known that the state government coffers are cash-strapped."
For Samajwadi Party, compensation equal to the six-times the circle rates is a non-negotiable promise that may be the stepping stone to success in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Planning ahead of the 16{+t}{+h} general elections, SP introduced the clause in its party manifesto, in response to the farmers' demand for higher compensation in western UP. At that time, the party had argued that the rates at which authorities sold land to developers, who then sold to individuals, were several times higher than the compensation rates paid to farmers.
Sources close to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, said, "There is no question of reneging on the manifesto promises, especially the one pertaining to land acquisition rates. Most farmers have nothing, but small land holdings to call their own. If they are not compensated adequately, they have no other means of livelihood to rely on. The state government sees no hurdle in giving farmers compensation, which is equivalent to six times the circle rates for land acquired from farmers. In most places where the land has to be acquired, circle rates are already very low. Working out the financial details for this will not be difficult. In fact, if good connectivity is ensured, more businesses can be attracted there promptly."
Senior bureaucrats, however, maintain that the decision will cost the state exchequer dear, something UP is not prepared to tackle. Traditionally, the land is acquired at up to twice the circle rate. Describing the argument as faulty, an official said, "SP had not considered other factors like acquisition expenses, interest on loans taken for making purchases, implementation of rehabilitation and resettlement policy, contingency costs, development expenses and other costs, which inflate land costs, when they are acquired for government projects."

WASHINGTON- April 19, 2013- "The wise man seeks not to secure pleasure but to avoid pain."- Aristotle.
Chronic physical pain can be unrelenting, mind numbing, distracting, fatiguing and at times, overwhelming. A primary care physician (PCP) may be reluctant to provide adequate narcotic relief, instead referring the patient to a pain clinic. A pain clinic provides access to very strong narcotics to alleviate chronic, life disrupting pain. However, patients who follow that regime may succumb to narcotic addiction for life.
An alternative to strong narcotics is a device known as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). This is not a pill or therapy ,but a small portable device that blocks the pain signal to your brain. It uses either two or four stick on electrodes and it is the size of a beeper. It is adjustable and sends a pleasurable electronic buzz to your spinal column blocking the sensation of pain.
Users claim it works fast and when applied before serious pain develops, stops it in its tracks. TENS works on sore, overworked muscles and acute pain as well. For those with life altering chronic pain, TENS can be used alone or adjunctively with less powerful and smaller doses of narcotic or non-narcotic analgesics.
A TENS device delivers mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the cutaneous (surface) and afferent (deep) nerve cells and has no known side effects.
There are two theories on how the TENS device works. The first is all signals through the spinal column are sent through 'gates' that filter which signal or impulses are allowed through to the brain. These gates prevent the brain for getting too much information too quickly. The same nerve cannot carry a pain impulse and a non-pain impulse simultaneously so the stronger non-pain impulse of the TENS overrides the pain impulse.
The second theory is the TENS encourage the brain to produce endorphins, the brains natural pain killer, to overcome pain. Some think both theories are simultaneously applicable.
The advantage of a TENS unit is it fits in a pocket or purse, its non-addictive, the initial purchase price, if not covered by insurance, ranges from about $50.00 to $130.00 and the maintenance costs are the replacement of batteries and the electrodes which are very inexpensive.
The question arises of why more people are not offered a TENS device as a first line of defense against pain? Many supporters of the TENS device feel the big pharms and the pain industry requires repeat visits to a clinic and refills to fuel the pain relief industrial economy.
Before traveling down the slippery slope of narcotic addiction, ask your doctor about a TENS device.

I have a shasta daisy I want to divide, and I'm wondering if it would respond better if I divide it in the fall (I won't do it now because of the heat), or in the spring? Do they divide well? It seems like they're kind of temperamental.

I divide mine in Spring and Summer. I have done it in the fall, with mixed success. They seem to take quite a while to re-establish themselves, and half the divisions made in fall didn't survive winter. You're in zone 5, and they aren't reliably hardy in your zone, so I'd do it early enough they have plenty of time to settle in before winter. |

I've had the best luck dividing mine in the spring. I do most of my moving and dividing in the fall, but as with donn, I've had mixed results with shastas in the fall. I've got 'Becky' which is very hardy for me. Brenda |

Thank you - I will hold off until next spring to divide. Deanna |

I divide mine early and often..... To be honest I have no experience other than doing it in the spring but I have never had a problem with this. I have a very vigorous culivar that needs it every year. I just gouge out the sides. Soon I will probably have just a shasta daisy gaden with all my splits. |
The above poster mentioned dividing by "just gouging out the sides." I was just wondering about this...does it work well on the Shasta "Becky?" Or do I have to dig the entire plant out of the ground then divide? |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6/MA (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 08 at 15:53
D'Sabato's book The Well Maintained Perennial Garden warns not to divide them in the fall. Suggest not to even plant them in the fall. Surprised to see she reports they are not reliably hardy in zone 5. Division every 2-3yrs. |
I divided mine in September, and gave several to my neighbor. They're getting new growth right now, hers are too. I planted them three years ago, and they needed to be split up, didn't seem to affect them at all. I dug mine up and split them with a big bread knife.Planted some in the same area and moved others to other areas. |
