As we wrap up 2009, and look ahead to 2010, we all know there will be difficult challenges ahead of us. I look forward to working with each of you to address these challenges and seize the opportunities presented to us this year. When we gather again in January 2011, I hope we can celebrate the many goals we will have accomplished together this year. Following tradition, I will take this opportunity in my first Board Meeting as Chair to address the State of the County. As previous Chairs have done in the past, each year we look at where we have been and plan where we want to go. Orange County has a unique and rich history. That history has helped to shape who we are today. We are a County of enterprising and innovative business leaders, resilient in our strengths and I know these qualities will serve us well in 2010. Over the past year, the nation has been in the midst of a severe recession that has significantly impacted the ability of state and local governments to support critical public services. For Orange County, the recession has significantly reduced our ongoing revenue from property tax, sales tax and vehicle license fees, which account for 91% of the Net County Cost that supports the County's public safety, infrastructure and safety net services. The County's jobless rate has grown from 4.4% in January 2008 to 9.4% in November 2009. Similarly, the growth in secured assessed valuations has declined from 8.3% in FY 2007-08 to negative 1.4% as fewer and fewer families are able to afford median home prices. Although we are beginning to see signs of economic recovery, there are still economic indicators that signal that further challenges may be forthcoming. Until we are able to sustain a steady month-over- month improvement in the jobless rate, we cannot anticipate significant improvement in the County's revenues. As such, the Board of Supervisors needs to continue to exercise prudent stewardship of the County's finances in order to overcome the challenge of supporting critical public services within the financial means that are available. The good news is that we have taken action early to reduce our costs, we have set aside reserves that are available to mitigate some of the impacts, and we have completed our Strategic Financial Plan that will provide guidance on the actions necessary during this critical time. We stand together ready to make the difficult decisions that are necessary to maintain the financial integrity of the County, so that we may preserve our core public safety, infrastructure, and safety net services for the citizens of Orange County. Despite the economic difficulties we faced in 2009, the County had some excellent accomplishments as well. While this is by no means an exhaustive list, I would like to highlight a few accomplishments from our hardworking County staff and departments, as well as take a look forward to what we can work toward in 2010, to continue the valuable services the residents of this County have come to expect. The County Executive Office, under the leadership of CEO Tom Mauk, had several noteworthy accomplishments in 2009, including completing transfers of all superior court facilities to the State and retaining some key properties, thus realizing significant ongoing operating and maintenance cost savings. The CEO's office as our Chief Negotiator helped us to bring forward a new retirement tier (1.62% @ 65) that was collaboratively developed with OCEA members through their Chief Negotiator, Nick Berardino. This will achieve significant cost savings over time. We still have 1 more step to go with this and that is to try to get the IRS to work with us on implementing this new tier.
Other accomplishments include, but are not limited to:
As a County, it is important for us to maximize our financial resources and better utilize our existing property through the implementation of the Orange County Facilities Master Plan. We also must support the effective management and oversight of construction projects to take advantage of current construction costs. Following these principles, we must support the competitive bidding process and look to eliminate wasteful spending. The County is a critical component in maintaining and improving our transportation infrastructure. We must coordinate with cities so that resources from the state and federal government are maximized. Orange County owns and operates John Wayne Airport. JWA is an important component of our transportation infrastructure. Improvements are underway and soon air travelers will benefit from the new Terminal C and Parking Structure C. Additionally, energy needs will be met on-site with a new co-generation facility. Last year, OC Waste & Recycling successfully negotiated 10-year Waste Disposal Agreements with cities, sanitary districts and facility operators. They also renegotiated a 10-year Franchise Agreement for solid waste collection and recycling in the County's unincorporated areas that will extend through June 2020. Each of these agreements is an example of how the department aligns itself with the County's Strategic Initiative to build healthy communities for the future. The Health Care Agency had their hands full in dealing with the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccination process. The clinics held in October and November provided more than 9,500 vaccinations throughout the County in the five districts. The 17th Street clinic also provided an additional 9,500 H1N1 vaccinations. All told, nearly 900,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine were distributed to Orange County providers. There is still much work to do in continuing to coordinate the distribution of additional vaccines throughout the course of the flu season. We welcome the addition of thousands of acres to OC Parks in the foothills above Orange and Irvine. Yet, we cannot overlook the need to locate park space in the Central and Northern region of the County where the need is critical. It has been identified that childhood obesity rates are higher in these parts of the County, in part due to a lack of open space where kids can play and be active. County departments are encouraged to work together to find creative places where existing County property could be improved to have an open space, or recreational component. Though this may be a small step toward increasing open space in these high-density areas, it is something we need to pursue as a building block to larger opportunities. Orange County is a very special and beautiful part of our nation. However, it is historically prone to the forces of nature. We must be vigilant in our preparation for anticipated disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes or mudslides. We recognize that the public relies on the response of the County in its coordination with other local authorities when disaster strikes. We must also be prepared for disasters we hope to never see. Last year, I participated in a drill at the Emergency Operations Center for a hypothetical incident at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station alongside then-Chair, Supervisor Pat Bates.
I want to acknowledge the County department heads for their successes over the past year. We look forward to working with you and continuing to assess our goals and accomplishments throughout this year. One of our main goals is to make our county government more efficient, so that we can make our budget dollars go further. In that vein, with former Chair Chris Norby's leadership, the Board created the Performance Audit Department. The Performance Auditor continues to study and address important and critical issues. The role of this department can be significant in potential reforms which will improve the way the County does business and serves its residents. We look forward to future reports and reviewing your business plan. As I said, this is by no means an exhaustive list of accomplishments and I want to thank all of our county employees, managers and department heads for their hard work and dedication to the residents of Orange County. In looking back at all the County accomplished in 2009, one aspect of our success stands out above the rest: Teamwork. It is paramount that we work together — staff, management, the business community, unions, non-profits and so many more, as well as this Board — to address the challenges presented to us and make the difficult decisions that must be made to continue County services and keep us in a stable financial position. I look forward to working with our team — including my colleagues on this Board, the CEO and his staff — to address any shortfalls and find solutions together this year.
Supervisor Janet Nguyen represents the First District on the Orange County Board of Supervisors as Chair. She also serves as Chair of the OCTA's Transit Committee. She represents more than 600,000 people, covering the cities of Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Westminster and the unincorporated community of Midway City. Orange County ranks sixth in the nation as the most populous county and has the nation's seventh highest annual budget.

Officials say EU-funded initiatives will foster economic growth and anti-corruption efforts.
By Mladen Dragojlovic for Southeast European Times in Banja Luka -- 18/06/14
The EU measures will foster economic development and create new jobs, said Andy McGuffie, spokesman for the EU Special Representative in BiH. [EU/EUSR] |
The EU is urging BiH to fulfil three initiatives in order to enforce social and economic stability in the country.
These initiatives, summarised in the conclusions of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in April, should be implemented despite the devastation caused by flooding in the region in May, said EU Special Representative in BiH spokesman Andy McGuffie.
The initiatives require the country to use EU assistance to prepare a national economic reform programme, form a joint EU-BiH working group to accelerate the implementation of Union-funded projects, and establish a structured dialogue on justice to expand anti-corruption efforts.
The EU requires the country to implement the projects, which will require politicians to accept EU assistance and begin the initiatives.
McGuffie said the effort is part of the EU's overall initiatives aimed at helping BiH's economic governance, strengthening competitiveness as well as stimulating economic growth.
"We will be asking the competent authorities and civil society to engage with us, well before the elections in October, in the development and implementation of concrete economic structural reforms that would begin to reinvigorate the economy and spur the creation of jobs," McGuffie said.
According to EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule, civil society will be involved in all of the initiatives, and will hopefully push politicians to co-operate with the civil sector.
McGuffie said the European Commission will focus on better economic governance in all countries in the region, and BiH should be one of the first countries to benefit from this new approach.
"We will assist BiH in preparing a national economic reform programme. It will push forward reforms and actions to tackle the dysfunctional labour market, achieve better co-ordination on economic and fiscal policies and create a better environment for business," McGuffie told SETimes.
Zoran Pavlovic, CEO and founder of management consultant company Havrex, told SETimes that any economic help will benefit BiH.
"According to information from the World Bank, BiH has the smallest economic growth in Europe. So any support in area of economy is more than welcome," Pavlovic said.
However, Igor Gavran, a macro-economic analyst at the BiH Export Chamber of Commerce, told SETimes that because the main priority of the initiatives is not long-term development, the reconstruction of areas that suffered heavy flood damage will draw too much on the country's economy to allow the projects to work.
"It is not possible to ignore this situation and continue with previous plans as if nothing happened. The necessary condition for sustained and long-term development is the urgent recovery of damaged areas and, for that, we will need more financial resources than were planned before," said Gavran.
What other measures can be taken to improve the economy in BiH? Tell us your thoughts below.

A look at economic developments and activity in major stock markets around the world Monday:
MADRID — Spain formally asked for a loan from international creditors to help clean up its troubled banking sector, but didn't specify how much of its $125 billion loan package it will request.
Economy Minister Luis De Guindos said recently the figure will be made known July 9 when Spain and its partners in the euro currency region agree on the terms of the loan.
Last week, two audits said Spain's banks could need up to $78 billion to survive if the economy were to suffer an extreme deterioration.
The Spanish government and Spanish banks are perilously co-dependent. The financial strength of one hinges on the other, and right now both are struggling for survival.
ATHENS, Greece — A leadership vacuum loomed for Greece as the designated finance minister resigned for health reasons just three days after he was rushed to the hospital and before he even had time to be sworn in.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was discharged from another hospital following eye surgery to repair a detached retina over the weekend.
The health problems of Greece's five-day-old government have already forced the country's international debt inspectors to postpone their Monday visit to Athens and prompted Germany to warn that a European Union summit later this week would be unlikely to produce any major decisions on Greece.
LONDON — World stocks fell amid concern that a critical European summit later this week will not yield a deal that might restore confidence in the future of the 17-country euro currency.
Investors worry that Europe's piecemeal approach to its spreading government debt crises could backfire, causing the banking system of a large country like Spain's to collapse. That could send shock waves through tightly connected global financial markets.
European leaders are gathering at the end of this week in Brussels for another summit aimed at reining in the crisis, but market players remain skeptical that Germany will sign off on efforts to quell the crisis.
Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.1 percent, Germany's DAX slid 2.1 percent and France's CAC-40 dropped 2.2 percent. Spain's benchmark IBEX 35 closed down 3.7 percent.
TOKYO — Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed down 0.7 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 0.5 percent, South Korea's Kospi slid 1.2 percent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.5 percent.
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Cyprus has formally requested a bailout package from its partners in the European currency union to help it shore up its banks. Cyprus is the fifth eurozone country to seek foreign aid from other countries using the euro.
Ratings agency Fitch downgraded Cyprus to "junk" status, and the country's benchmark declined 7.2 percent.
CAIRO — Egypt's benchmark stock index closed up 7.6 percent, its largest single-day gain in nine years, following the declaration of a victor in presidential elections.
Mohammed Morsi of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood beat out Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister of deposed leader Hosni Mubarak.
Many feared the announcement would trigger violence, but so far celebrations by Morsi backers have dominated the streets.

Connecticut Witchcraft Trials
The first woman executed for witchcraft in New England was from Windsor.
Everyone knows about the infamous Salem witch trials, but few people realize that Connecticut has an older and arguably more colorful history when it comes to accusations of—and executions for—witchcraft. We begin our multi-part series exploring the hysteria.
We return to our exploration of the Connecticut witchcraft trials with the well-documented case of a Long Island woman tried in Connecticut.
Elizabeth Godman was charged with witchcraft twice, but managed to avoid the hangman's noose.
Goody Bassett appears to have been the first woman executed for witchcraft in the New Haven Colony.
The witchcraft trial of Goody Knapp was the first well-detailed case in Connecticut history.
The first husband-and-wife victims of the Colonial witchcraft hysteria.
One of the more harrowing examples of the witchcraft hysteria, as Lydia Gilbert was found guilty of witchcraft for an accidental murder to which someone else admitted their guilt.
Mary Johnson of Wethersfield confessed (most likely under extreme duress) to witchcraft and was executed in 1648.
Nicholas and Goodwife Bayley were the second couple to be accused of witchcraft in Connecticut, although they met a better fate than the first couple.
Nicholas and Margaret Jennings have been described as a "rascally pair," but did that mean they were witches?
Accusations of witchcraft against William Meaker seemed to be more based on a vengeful neighbor's imagination rather than any sort of actual events.

I've been looking for a Job for up to 7 years now... This is not cool. I have a good job record. Have never had a dirty test... I don't smoke but I support it because I know people that are ill that need it. California has gotten bad... it's looking to be getting better. But seriously after all of the application i renew every 3 months for the past 7 years have gotten no response. I wonder what the heck is going on. I'm a smart individual that has been optimistic about the whole hard to find a job thing but the stresses of having responsabilities to take care of that require money is making life harder and harder. I have 3 teeth that need to be removed and until then i cannot eat even corn chips... because they are too hard. I need to get things done and the job market isn't helping me one bit. For all the footwork I've done and keep doing (almost 30 miles once every other week because stockton doesn't have much to offer in the working field.) I really hope that some day, I'll receive a call asking me to come in for an interview. Till then, lifes' a b***h...
Marijuana and Cannabis News
California's Lieutenant Governor called for an end to marijuana prohibition over the weekend, pointing out that the war on drugs is a failure that merely fuels the disproportionate rate at which minorities are arrested in this country.
That's encouraging news, especially considering Newsom is said to be one of the top contenders for the governor position in 2014.
"In 2011 alone in this country, three quarters of a million people in the United States were arrested for marijuana law violations, 87% of them for simple possession," said California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom to a crowd of supporters at the California Democratic Party Convention. "And listen to me closely on this -- African-American children are ten times more likely to get arrested for drug crimes than their white counterparts even though white children are more likely to abuse drugs."
Newsom says he favors decriminalizing, taxing and regulating cannabis.
"After 42 years of failure, I think it's time we concede that if we continue to do what we've done, we'll continue to get what we've got. I think you and we deserve better. It's about standing up on principle, having the courage of our convictions, about saying publicly all too often what we say privately."
Watch Newsom's entire speech in the video below.

Towards Accurate Failure Prediction for the Proactive Adaptation of Service-oriented Systems
Andreas Metzger
Research group leader 'Software and Service Quality'
Paluno (The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology)
University of Duisburg-Essen
DEI - Building 22, Meetings Room
July 18th, 2011
2.00 pm
Furnishing service-oriented systems with self-adaptation capabilities allows those systems to become resilient against failures of their constituent services. Especially proactive adaptation capabilities, which apply countermeasures to prevent the occurrence of failures, provide significant benefits, such as avoiding costly compensation and repair activities. An important challenge is to trigger proactive adaptations accurately; firstly, because the execution of an unnecessary proactive adaptation can lead to additional costs or failures that would not have occurred if the system would have remained unchanged; secondly,
because a missed proactive adaptation opportunity would diminish the benefits or proactive adaptation.
The presentation will discuss two directions along which accurate proactive adaptations can be achieved: (i) by improving the quality prediction techniques that trigger the adaptations (i.e., during design time); (ii) by dynamically estimating the accuracy of the predicted failures during the operation of the service-oriented system (i.e., during run-time). The discussion is backed by concrete examples of existing prediction techniques (developed in S-Cube, the EU network of excellence on software services and systems) and supported by experimental results.

4.5 Great Card, Very Fast Barronboy | 04/02/2012 | See all Barronboy's reviews (35) This card is very fast for what I have on my phone, great buy and a great price.
4.5 Something to remember.. samaraininja | 19/01/2012 | See all samaraininja's reviews (6) I bought this memory card for my Galaxy S2 and works extremely well. Reads much faster than my old class 6 cards with the amount of content that I have on it. Had it for about two months now and still working fine. -jay^^
4.5 Works great!! EvilAMMO | 07/12/2011 | See all EvilAMMO's reviews (5) Brought this for my new Samsung Galaxy S2 phone and have to say it works absolutely great. I've had no issues with speed and such since I don't transfer huge file sizes but for general use it's excellent at this very affordable price.I was considering getting a 32GB card at first but the price difference being more than double put me off as well as the realisation that I will never need so much storage space on my phone anyway.
4.5 Fantastic dadevil94 | 24/11/2011 | See all dadevil94's reviews (1) This product is amazingly worth its money for the speed but how ever as for capacity for a 16gb memory card you only get 14.9gb worth of space due to formating but if you want to be able to transfer/read at a rate of 10mbps this is your item, but even with 14.9gb im still very happy with my product and arrived earlier than it says on here
4.5 Not for Moto Defy otherwise fine DanSTaylor | 17/11/2011 | See all DanSTaylor's reviews (2) Initially I thought it was a problem with the card and nearly returned it but when I used it in my pc or eee pad transformer it was fine. 14mbps write speed too! Read into it and there is a problem with moto defy not being about to handle some class 10 cards.
4.5 suspect perfomrance Techtrision | 12/11/2011 | See all Techtrision's reviews (1) According to 2 test app I used. The speed is 5.8 Mb write and 20Mb read, but for the price it's still reasonable even if the performance is not quite up to spec.
4.5 excellent! Semtexjeff | 04/11/2011 | See all Semtexjeff's reviews (3) all the bad reviwers must have had dodgy cards, 17mb writing speed on mine, brilliant at the price!!
4.5 SLOW... JoeBloggs5 | 02/11/2011 | See all JoeBloggs5's reviews (1) Both on HTC Desire and two different card readers I still only get 4MB/s write speed max
4.5 Good memory card at a good price Jonson1 | 12/09/2011 | See all Jonson1's reviews (3) I brought this card to replace my 8GB memory card that was in my HTC Desire HD and i'm happy with the purchase. Does what it does and as of now no faults whatsoever. I haven't tested the transfer speeds in full but I do know that I get half of the speed that the card specifies. But that's understandable as my pc is 5 years old (still running) on old hardware. I would definitely recommend this memory card.
4.5 My Worst purchase ever Spark9990 | 10/09/2011 | See all Spark9990's reviews (1) Very slow card this is not class 10. I get 3.8MB/s write speeds and 5.0MB/s read speeds even with using scripts on my phone that should speed it up. I have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo.I have tested from transferring files from phone and card reader.

Bank of America story updated to include Sanford Bernstein downgrade in eighth paragraph.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC - Get Report)'s downgrade on Tuesday by Citigroup created a nice opportunity to get into the stock for anyone who is bullish on America.
That's because Bank of America's success or failure depends almost entirely on that of the U.S. economy.
If the economic fortunes of the U.S. climb back, even slightly, Bank of America ought to be a good investment.
At 41% of book value, Bank of America is the cheapest bank stock in the S&P 500, according to Bloomberg data. That is one third the price of Wells Fargo (WFC) and less than a quarter of the value of USBancorp (USB), which trades at 178% of book. True, Bank of America was cheaper in December, when it traded at just 28% of book, but it is still ridiculously cheap by historical standards. In December 2010, even after the mortgage-related problems that have caused investors to pummel Bank of America's stock to its current low levels had been in the news for two months, Bank of America traded at 64% of book. In December 2007, before Bear Stearns blew up but when pretty much every giant bank other than Goldman Sachs (GS) was preparing to report multi-billion dollar losses, Bank of America traded at 1.29% of book. In December 2002, Bank of America traded at more than double its book value, a valuation that was not at all unusual for the bank in the late 90s and early 2000s. On a price-to-earnings basis, only JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is cheaper than Bank of America when it comes to S&P 500 bank stocks. Bank of America trades at 7.86 times trailing earnings, versus 7.45 for JPMorgan. On a price-to-forward earnings basis, however, Bank of America is again the cheapest at 6.76, according to Bloomberg data. Sanford Bernstein analyst sees things differently, however. According to his calculations, Bank of America is one of the most expensive bank stocks on a price-to-2012 earnings basis at 12.5 times earnings. That's one of the reasons he downgraded the shares Wednesday. Still, he acknowledges the shares are cheap at just over 60% of tangible book value. Why is the bank so cheap? Partly because all banks are cheap. Regulators aren't even close to forgetting about the panicky days of late 2008 and early 2009, and while big banks like Bank of America and Citigroup may have paid back all the bailout money they received from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program at a tidy profit, many jobs and homes were lost in the process, and no one wants to see another bailout.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Allen West Is Not on a "Marco Rubio Level"; Sorry, Club for Growth
Chocola made his remarks in an interview with the National Journal's Hotline on Call:
"There's nobody there right now that we think is at the Rubio level," he said in an interview with Hotline On Call. Former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner has tried to highlight his ties to Rubio and has been striving for conservative support. But Chocola may be more interested in Rep. Allen West; he said the Club would talk to the freshman Congressman if West decided to make the race.Of course, Club for Growth is the kind of ideologically hellbent organization that would funnel money to a candidate who made all of his campaign stops dressed in clown makeup if they believed he had fiscally conservative credentials.
But don't count on the Club getting involved if the candidate isn't right. "You have to have a candidate like a Rubio that warrants making that decision. We don't see anyone that's to the Rubio-caliber candidate," Chocola said.
Riptide may not like much about Rubio's or West's agendas, but let's get something straight: West is not even half the politician Rubio is.
Rubio is known for making eloquent and exciting speeches. West is known for sending letters that include the phrases "NUTS!" and "Shut the heck up."
Rubio at least pretends to shy away from the spotlight to work in Washington on behalf of his constituents. West is a media whore who doesn't even live in his own district.
Rubio had years of experience in politics on the local and state levels before running for Senate. West was forced to retire from the Army for threatening to kill an innocent man.
Let's put it this way: We're not big Rubio fans, but even we are kind of offended when someone says West and Rubio are in any way comparable.

Great smoke
Jeffrey Bossingham in Weiser June 20, 2011
"Great Cigar for the Price"
This is a great smoke during a round of golf. Burns well, stays lit nicely and lovely flavor and draw for such a reasonable price.
Golfer in Nashvile in Nashville January 6, 2011
"One Fine quality Cigar."
Great quality for the price. Even consistency and good solid burn with an ash that hangs on to almost the end. This is one fine smoke with a mild to medium flavor. I love -em.
Anthony S. in Hudson NY January 24, 2010
"As good as it gets"
A great smoke! The draw is smooth and easy, nice blend of flavors but not too intense, and leaves a wonderful toasted marshmellow taste in your mouth.
Benjamin in San Francisco April 4, 2005
"OK But!"
At $3.50 a pop they are OK, BUT, I have smoked many that sell for less that have equal or better qualities. Bought this as a single to try, and am glad I only bought one!
Big Red in Florida January 6, 2004
"One of the best I've ever had"
I have tried everything in the line, both naturals and maduros, and these are easily the most consistant smokes I've had. I have gone through near to 15 full boxes and am still buying more...I can't seem to get enough of them.
Lamar in Austin, Texas May 18, 2000
"Excellent medium smoke. I give it an 8.5"
One of the better cigars I've smoked, including some from Cuba.
Lars Bakken Jr in Arizona April 4, 2000
"Full flavor, yet smooth with hints of vanilla."
One of the best smokes out there! Forget Cubans, they can't match the strength and subtle smooth vanilla flavors this powerhouse packs! Excellent draw, consistant burn and construction. Highly recommended.
Don Williamson in Spfld. MA. September 10, 1999

A salute to Rhonda Byrne, the author of "The Secret", for superbly over-promising and under-delivering on every single page of this trite book. The transformation that I experienced was being awed at the mastery of her powers of influence by connecting dots where no dots exist except for her say-so and by attributing an effect to a cause, where a million other effects could be just as valid. The nonsensical writings of Byrne seem to know no end. It is fascinating to read how she claims to know the key to the minds of Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers and men of such intellect and accomplishment and to proceed to explain to us mere mortals just how all of those fantastic achievements of our age came together as a result of her breakthrough in understanding their thought process. She gives the reader this unfounded claim and she has packaged it all into this book for benefit of masses. So strong are her claims to such "truths" that I wonder if she made use of telepathic channels of communication with the diseased to arrive at her conclusions.
The law of attraction is "The Secret", claims the author. This law, first expressed on page 4 of the book, and before being explained, is considered common fact and applicable to the world at large. It is brilliant really to read so much non-ascertained "Secrets". Everything and everyone comes together in perfect harmony as a result of Ms. Byrne's fascinating "Law of Attraction", or more accurately, her voodoo magic.
Before you learn more about this law, you learn that the best musicians, poets, artists, thinkers and religion leaders of our time already knew and used it skillfully in their legendary achievements to all mankind. There is so much self-righteous credit to the author without any proof or any solid reasoning. I found this to be hugely a turn-off in attracting me to her work, no pun intended.
The Law of Attraction takes on the character of the universe for the rest of the book, and you and this universe play two characters in this exchange of make-believe dialogs. You think something and voila, the universe hears it, and acts on it. Byrne kindly makes all the translations for us, lest we send the wrong signal up!
It goes without saying that the book draws on some of the best practices in life for leading a good positive life. There is no arguing with the obvious factoids: Positive thinking and positive energy, meditation and relaxation, believing in your dreams and in achieving your goals, and the numerous effects of negative thinking on our mind, body, spirit. Perhaps I am thankful that the readers of this book will be encouraged further to believe in positive thinking, regardless of the absurd and strange means explained to achieve it.
The major flaw in her theory is simple: Whatever life you live, regardless of how you came about your current situation, is entirely your own damn fault!
While I am a proponent of responsibility for our own actions, there are events in our universe that are slightly out of our control. Take for instance a world war, an earth quake, a flood, a car accident, cancer, and a few others that run through the imagination. If "The Secret" can control and create the reality with our thoughts, is it even possible to imagine a world built on millions of instantly changing, evolving, conflicting and omnipotent thoughts?
According to the book , there is a concept called The Creative Process – It is to create what you want and whole of this process consisted of 3 steps:
- Ask
- Believe
- Receive
Reading is the best pastime for an active mind! If you like to see the other book reviews, check the index of In Print.
The most ludicrous parts of the book comprise of instances where this Law of Attraction is tied to the laws of the universe, physics, and the creative process, and even the Bible. Byrne claims that if you only know how to use the process, the body which is a temple, can heal itself of a manifested disease. For clear purposes, the messages here as well as rest of the book are very vague, so that nothing conclusive can be drawn. Yet the anecdotes deliver the message we all want to hear: A breast-cancer patient rids her body of cancer and attributes her healing to "The Secret". Ask yourself please if Rhonda Byrne had the answer to cure cancer, would she waste her time writing a book instead?
As to the writing style of the author, it is written and to be read, for reasons aforementioned, by the masses. The simplistic, conversational style of writing, carrying on a dialog with the reader in a condescending patronizing tone of voice is distasteful, lacks intellect, and bores me to pieces. The message behind her poor quality writing is an appalling amount of nonsense, as I mentioned before. Ironically enough, her writing style perfectly suits the content which it endorses.
Perhaps I am being too harsh. After all, the brilliance of a mass-marketed book has to earn some respect even from the harshest critics. Clearly, the author's quest for fame and fortune is fulfilled – a worthy quest for anyone – but at the expense of what: our society's terrifying abandon of common sense and plain thinking? No, this is not the fault of the author – after all, we are the thinkers and the decision makers of our own life. We decide what to believe and what to discard. The fear sets in when a society abandons that innate skill and blindly follows everything that which is popular and accepted as the norm by a large population.
Why should I post such a book review and how does it help promote my vision of prolific living? The most prolific life would be filled with a positive spirit, and resistant to negative thoughts and emotions. I believe and aim to live with that mindset. Nonetheless, it is important to be true to all of our emotions and suppress them, I will not.
The message I have intended to deliver to my readers here is to think for yourself, to look for logic and sensibility of the information you are given, and to be true to your own conclusions and strong enough to recognize the difference between authentic and genuine advice, and one that comes short on that scale.

Panther Coffee Brews Up a Specialty Scene in Miami
Of all the competitors at Panther Coffee on a recent Friday night, Jed Baxter slurps the loudest. It's a sharp noise, like a vacuum sucking up a spilled drink. The rules of the game are simple. Before him sit 12 cups of coffee, arranged in sets of three. In each group, two brews are the same; one is different. Baxter must identify the odd cup out.billwisserphoto.com Joel Pollock sniffs a sample of beans from the roaster.
Wearing cuffed camouflage jeans and dark oxfords, he turns to his skittish rival. Does she stand a chance? Not likely. Baxter has tattoos. And his slurps intimidate.
Quickly, the 25-year-old professional coffee taster dunks a silver spoon into one cup, slurps, and moves on to the next. He pushes the final cup past the finish line. The four-minute mark soon arrives. Hands up! He gets four out of four correct and whisks on to the second round.
But not everyone in the crowd is a pro. At this inaugural event called Tridays, there are tourists, a giggly kid in sandals, and New Times staff writers Terrence McCoy and Michael E. Miller. Even I signed up -- mostly for research -- but also because I was under the notion I knew a thing or two about coffee. (I was wrong.)
With 19 contestants buying in, there's nearly $200 at stake. All of that just for drinking some coffee. The slurping was sure to get serious.
Which is exactly how Panther Coffee's business prospects look these days. A few years ago, even this rather innocuous tasting competition would have seemed out of place in Miami. The specialty coffee scene here was minute. But in 2011, a coffee-roasting triumvirate made its Magic City debut: Panther Coffee, Alaska Coffee Roasting, and Eternity Coffee Roasters.
Since then, Panther Coffee -- which soon emerged as the cadre's strongest -- has earned mad street cred. The New York Times has extolled it three times. American Express featured the coffee shop in a commercial during the 2012 Academy Awards. Finally, earlier this year, Panther Coffee won the prestigious Good Food Award, a national prize for responsibly produced foods.
But now the coffee shop wants more. Going beyond roasting and brewing, its owners strive to educate the local community on specialty coffee.

ProjectionDesign's Overview:
True HD digital eCinema projector
The new projectiondesign cineo30+ 1080 is the first true HD single chip 1080p projector to utilise Texas Instruments® new BrilliantColor™ technology to its full extend. With better colours, a higher dynamic range, and a much better image quality than any single chip DLP™ projector before it, it has been designed to fit into demanding applications such as post production and grading suites, or larger auditoriums and cinemas

By utilising BrilliantColor™, the cineo30+ 1080 has a wider gamut, with better colour saturation, and truer colours than ever before. New colour wheel technology allows adding not only RGB, but also Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow to the picture, which means less colour contamination, and extra saturation to the natural colours that are incredibly difficult to display with only red, green, and blue primary colours. In addition, BrilliantColor™ adds mid range punch and extra brightness, allowing for a much more dynamic video experience, and with better suitability for larger sceens.
Designed for reliability
The cineo30+ 1080 shares numerous features with its professional product siblings to provide failsafe operation. At the heart of the projector sits the patented DuArch™ illumination architecture that allows for Hot Swapping of lamps while still in operation, and keeping the image on screen. DuArch™ features dual colour wheels, dual illumination optimisers, and dual illumination optics. For monitoring, a backlit LCD status panel is available for immediate and configurable status overview and events logging. In addition, direct view status lights are available, driven by the lamps themselvs, so there is no doubt whether all systems are OK.

Configuration options
The cineo30+ 1080 can be set up with any one of six different projection lenses, covering a wide range of projection ratios, from ultra wide to ultra long throw, ensuring it fits in any installation.

Hey Mtv NETWORKS, WE MISS OUR CLASSIC NICK PROGRAMS!!! So heres my Idea: NICK CLASSIC. A 24hr a day Nickelodeon channel that only shows the Classic Nick shows (like Double Dare,Clarissa,Hey dude ect) And all the classic bumpers in between the shows. You could even in the Morning do a classic Nick Jr block with shows like Gullah Gullah Island ,Eureeka's Castle, david the gnome,The Busy World of Richard Scarry, ect. It would cost nothing to produce since you need to make NOTHING new for it due to the 1000's of hours of programing you have locked away, and you would lock in a HUGE demo. I figure If we Can get enough signatures, Maybe Viacom might take a look at doing something like this.

Written by Mark Sneller, PhD,
House dust: Just what is this stuff that causes perennial allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma and respiratory allergy?
House dust is a complex mixture composed of pollens and spores; plant hairs and flower parts that are tracked indoors; fragments and feces from insects such as moths, cockroaches, ants, silverfish, spiders, and mites; fibers of material made from cellulose such as cotton, wool, linen, jute, wood kapok; man-made fibers such as fiberglass, nylon, plastic, rubber; animal and human hair and skin cells; cigarette smoke; fireplace soot; diesel exhaust carbon; lead; insecticides; aerosols from personal care products; and cat and dog antigen. It also may include food particles, such as allergenic wheat products, and tracked-in dirt that becomes worn to a powder.
Whew. Who would have thought all these substances could reside in such a tiny particle?
The chief problem with house dust comes from the ninety percent that settles on surfaces, not the ten percent that floats in the air. One study showed that the average six-room home can accumulate up to forty pounds of dust per year. The worst areas of the home for house dust are the carpet (especially deep pile), upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs, blankets, bedspreads, comforters, quilts, drapes, and stuffed animals. Usually older upholstered furniture causes more allergies, because it has deeper layers of dust and a larger reservoir of dust mites.
Here are few ways to reduce household dust.

The sworn statement of probable cause after a DUI arrest cannot be blank in the California DMV's evidence, lawyers insist
DMV delivers to the driver's California DUI lawyer with a blank page 2 of the sworn DMV DS 367.
What should an attorney emphasize at the California administrative hearing to save this person's driving privilege?
Start with the requirement that California DUI officers must make a sworn statement of the facts and circumstances that led to the stop or contact.
A blank page 2 Probable Cause on the DMV's sworn Officer's Statement simply does not comply with CaliforniaVehicle Code 13880 as required by the California Supreme Court.
In such a situation, the California Supreme Court basically holds that police officers are not relieved of providing ANY information relevant to the DUI enforcement action in the DS 367. The DUI cops must so include.
The California Supreme Court did in fact relieve a cop of having to include ALL information relevant to a DUI enforcement action.
MacDonald emphasized that only a sworn statement's technical omissions are allowed to be supplemented or explained by unsworn DUI police reports, but not substantive omissions in the DS 367 form.

But elite campuses can make themselves attractive to the military, ROTC supporters say. They could offer courses that fit the needs of officers-in-training and also attract nonmilitary students – on subjects like military history or anthropology focused on Afghanistan – says Michael Segal, who runs the Boston-based umbrella group Advocates for ROTC.
Kevin Kit Parker, an engineering professor and Army major who is heading up Harvard's ROTC implementation committee, prefers keeping ROTC classes separate from other courses. "The point is to give them two different perspectives. You can take those courses on military history or geopolitical affairs ... in the [academic] departments," he says, "and then also you need to hear about geopolitics from the vantage point of being a gunslinger."
Under Harvard's plan for a Naval ROTC (which also includes those headed for the Marine Corps), students will continue to do ROTC course work with a consortium based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which is also in Cambridge, Mass. But Harvard will offer financial support and classroom and office space.
Professor Parker is aware of the budget constraints, but hopes that other military branches will find Harvard an appealing place to set up ROTC programs. The military can gain from exposure to such an influential campus, he and others say.

Take screenshots more efficiently with SnapNDrag for Mac
Avoid cluttered desktops and add some refinements to the process of taking screenshots with SnapNDrag for Mac.
Taking screenshots is something many people need to or want to do occasionally, but doing so often results in cluttered desktops and sometimes requires additional image editing or resizing. By solving these annoyances, SnapNDrag for Mac makes taking screenshots easier and more efficient.
SnapNDrag for Mac is a small screenshot utility that provides users with a few screenshot enhancement options. For instance, it might not be obvious to most users that you can change the default folder where you want your images to appear. This can result in much clutter on your desktop even after taking a few screenshots. SnapNDrag solves the problem by providing a little library-like window for you where it places all your screenshots so you can find them all in one place. The reason that someone may want to do that wasn't instantly obvious, but it was easy to use should you want to. Being able to drag and drop the screenshots to your email is a nice feature, though. In addition, you can take a screenshot of a window by simply clicking on it, as opposed to having to manually draw a frame around it. Use of this function resulted in perfectly contoured screenshots of your window, which makes adding frames a thing of the past.

Are stiff and painful joints keeping you out of the kitchen? Cookbook author Melinda Winner shares 10 top household tools and techniques to get you cooking again. Plus, learn the 5 best foods to eat to reduce symptoms...
A decade after her rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, Melinda Winner was 100 pounds overweight, subsisting mainly on peanut butter and spending her days on her couch.
She loved to cook, but stiff hand joints made it difficult to peel, pare, slice, dice, boil, bake and roast the healthy foods she loved.
And her doctors couldn't help.
"When you have arthritis, they tell you to buy pre-cut, pre-packaged food," says Winner, now a 48-year-old mother of three and grandmother of five in Tampa, Fla.
"That's a pet peeve of mine," she says. "Because I'm sick, I have to settle for food that isn't good for me."
Winner decided to take health back into her hands by creating new cooking techniques that accommodated disability.
It worked. Between eating well and daily walking, she maintained her goal weight of 130 pounds. A lighter frame has also relieved stress on her joints.
Now, she's sharing her kitchen tricks with 1.3 million RA sufferers, and 27 million with osteoarthritis who can't eat well because of physical limitations.
She created the
Cooking With Arthritis website
and wrote
A Complete Illustrated Guide to Cooking With Arthritis
(Tate Publishing).
Here, she shares her 10 most useful techniques:
1. Open plastic cartons with a ring.
The idea for this technique, which Winner uses almost daily, came as she was struggling to open a yogurt container with a plastic top.
As she was trying to pull off the top, a ring she wears on her left thumb accidentally caught the lid's lip, offering the leverage she needed.
"It popped off," Winner says. "It was the most amazing discovery."
Try it with cottage cheese, sour cream or other foods that come in covered plastic tubs.
2. Cut vegetables with an apple corer.
This gadget, which looks like a small metal wagon wheel with handles, can slice other veggies into easy-to-work-with sizes, Winner says.
"Potatoes, cucumbers, summer squash – even a tomato if it's not too soft," she says. "Put one handle toward you, the other away from you, and lean on it with your forearms."
3. Slice produce into squares with a French fry cutter.
This device uses a handle to push produce through wires laid in a grid, cutting them into small rectangular pieces. Again, use your body weight to lean on the handles instead of relying on sore hands.
"I use it for mushrooms, strawberries and hard-boiled eggs for egg salad. It cuts and squishes them into uniform pieces," Winner says.
4. Separate eggs with a small funnel.
When she needs egg whites to make a meringue or a low-fat omelet and sore hands make it too hard to hold the shells, Winner uses this basic kitchen tool.
"The whites slide through; the yolks stay in the funnel," she says.
5. Roll out dough using forearms.
The manual dexterity needed to maneuver a rolling pin can be hard on someone with hand or arm pain, so Winner uses her forearms and body weight to apply pressure.
"I hold my hands like I'm praying and lean on the rolling pin with my forearms," she says.
"Don't lean too hard, or you'll go all the way through the dough."
6. When cutting large items, steady them with a barbecue fork.
Winner wraps a dishcloth and rubber around the long fork's handle for stability, then pierces the vegetable, such as a head of cabbage.
For stability, she holds the fork tightly between her underarm and body.
To finish the cut, "I take the fork out, lay my forearm over the knife, and use my weight to rock it back and forth," she says.
7. Remove boiled items with a spider skimmer.
Pasta and vegetables are easily scooped and drained out of hot water using the round, shallow basket of this long-handled mesh spoon.
8. Put a rug and chair in your kitchen.
A hard tile floor can cause back and foot pain, so Winner stands on a rubber-backed rug.
And she keeps a stool nearby so she can sit when she gets tired.
9. Invest in the right gadgets.
Food processers, mixers, juicers and electric can openers are important parts of an arthritis-friendly kitchen, Winner says.
10. Take breaks for temperature therapy.
Both heat and cold can provide temporary relief from hand pain.
Try both to see which feels best at that moment.
Winner keeps cans of healthy drinks in the fridge because the cold can feels good in her hand.
For warmth, she washes dishes.
"It's kind of like a hot tub for your hands," she says.
How to Eat Healthy with RA
There's no magic dietary bullet to ease arthritis pain, but many women find that switching to healthier foods improves symptoms.
Processed foods lead to inflammation, says Kristin Baker, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the Boston University School of Medicine who researches nutrition and arthritis.
That's because they contain preservatives for longer shelf life and have been stripped of nutrients that protect against inflammation.
Here are Baker's recommendations for the right foods to choose:
1. Fruits and veggies.
The best way to reduce inflammation is to load your plate with vegetables and fruits.
Both raw and cooked veggies are good for RA sufferers because cooking releases additional nutrients in some foods.
"Soups are great because nutrients remain in the broth," Baker says.
Watch out: Nightshade vegetables – potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and some peppers – can increase pain and decrease flexibility in some arthritis sufferers.
Keep a food journal to see if these, or other, foods aggravate symptoms.
2. Healthy grains.
Besides popular whole wheat and oatmeal, Baker recommends millet, quinoa and brown rice.
"Eat as much as you can in the whole form, as opposed to ground up and processed," Baker says.
3. Meat and poultry.
Stick to small portions of grass-fed beef or chicken raised on natural grains.
The nutrients make their way up the food chain, according to Baker.
4. Good oils.
Oils high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as olive, canola and flaxseed oil (as well as fish oil), decrease joint inflammation, according to a 2002 review of studies published in the
Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
The same study found that high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids – found in such foods as margarine, mayonnaise, cooking oils and many processed foods – increases inflammation and, consequently, pain and stiffness.
Because these oils compete within the body, a healthy diet puts them in balance: a healthy ratio is about 3 parts omega-6 to 1 part omega-3, Baker says.
According to some estimates, the ratio in the average Western diet is more than 10 to 1.
5. A varied diet.
Besides a diet of nutrient-rich foods, include vitamin K from leafy green vegetables, vitamin C from citrus fruits and vitamin D from fish and fortified dairy products.
Wash it down with green tea, which has been shown to reduce inflammation in some arthritis sufferers, according to studies funded by the Arthritis Foundation.
