Occupy Wall Street 311.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Since protesters took to Zuccotti park on September 17, it has been difficult to
ignore the similarities in the development of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS)
movement and the "J14" justice movement that swept Israel over the
summer.In both cases, a central tent city in the country's cultural and
economic center inspired ordinary people to set up dozens of copycat campsites
across the country, all using the same egalitarian rules of dialogue and sign
language-based method of communication.Both tapped into a very authentic,
grassroots frustration among mainly middle-class, educated youth who expressed an
anger at what they say is an economic system growing more unequal by the
day.Both also faced very similar criticism, mainly from the right. In
both cases, the movements were criticized for lacking clear leadership and a
well-defined set of demands. Both developed as an organic casserole of grievances
that multiplied and eventually began to encompass a cornucopia of left-wing
grievances dealing with issues of "social justice."As opposed to OWS,
J14 was a media darling from the moment Daphni Leef and a handful of friends set
up tents on Rothschild Boulevard on July 14 this year. In the Israeli case, the
initial media love-in faded after around a month or so, and by the time
municipality clerks began clearing tents on Rothschild on September 7 (after
promising protesters they had until the high holidays to evacuate) many
journalists covering the tent city movement had begun to see it as a dead story
at best, a nuisance at worst.At the café across from the main tent city
on September 7, among the crowd of Israeli journalists one could feel a palpable
sense of relief that their days of fishing for "color" and insight between the
tents and drum circles of Rothschild was finally coming to an end.In the
case of OWS however, media attention was slow to arrive, and the eviction
appears to have come while the movement was still garnering massive media
attention, even without the mass protests of hundreds of thousands that typified
the J14 movement.In both cases, a local mayor of national prominence
allowed the protest to carry on for a certain amount of time, until finally
sending in the police, citing complaints by locals and public safety

Kitchen island questions...would like your input
Finally, I've decided to go with a small island (no prep sink) and I'm leaning towards a butcher block top. One thing I've really wanted (and what swayed me from work table to island) are built in shelves, facing the seating area.
Here are a few inspiration pictures. While I like the island in an accent color, I'm concerned it will be too distracting. I really like this first picture, but the plate rack will be going between the range and wall oven.
So...what do you all think about the island? The color? The butcher block? Also, with the delft backsplash and creamy white cabinets, do you think this blue countertop would be too dark? It would really pick up the cobalt blue of the woodstove :)
This kitchen has the blue island, but while the tile backsplash is striking, it's a little too busy for me. I'd prefer something like this...
Here's my favorite picture, showing the dark blue countertop...and my more affordable idea to get a similar look :)
And here's the woodstove and my overall plan (with the kitchen) Thanks for looking and I look forward to your input!
I like the white island with butcher block top too. I like the look of open cabinets like your top picture, but like Chris, I wouldn't have them because of the dust, especially in the plate rack. I've always wondered how they clean inside that cabinet when you know it's bound to have a lot of dust in the corners.
I have been looking at my kitchen with a critical eye lately and was going to take some pictures to show you. It seems I have an unconscious desire for blue and white also. I never realized I have so much of it, and when I look at what I will change with the re-do, the blue and white stays.
I love the open shelving on the island, it really gives the island character. Just don't clutter the shelves too much, a couple of books and a serving dish will do.
I am a real stickler for countertop space. Based on the measurements in your drawing, you seem to have enough countertop space to work with. Therefore, you can concentrate more on design than function for the island top.
I love the butcher block top. It wouldn't take away from the beautiful countertops and backsplash, and will still give you that country french look you are going for.
One idea I do have for you is to consider using ceramic tile for the countertops AND backsplash, to keep that country french look. There an example of what it would look like in the link below about half way down the page.
Here is a link that might be useful: Compare Kitchen Countertops
Chris and Marti- Thank you for your suggestions about using glass on the shelves and plate rack.
Marti- What blue and white do you have in your kitchen?
KD- The ceramic tiles are great for the backsplash, but they are a little uneven on a countertop...and the grout can be hard to keep clean. They are beautiful, though :)
Here's the two laminates I've been considering for the perimeter countertops. While I like the blue, I don't know if it will feel too dark, or choppy, with probably white appliances. The cream/white is very nice, too, I just think it might look too light. Both of these are available with the solid edge, so no dark line along the top! What do you all think?
I'll have a white sink, too, so maybe the creamy/white would blend in better. If I use that for the perimeter, then the blue or butcher block would be on the island.
For the faucet and hardware, I'm hoping to use an antique brass finish...something like this finish, but not necessarily this exact style...
I also have the countertops in the pantry and laundry room. I've been thinking of using cream in the pantry (another white sink) blue in the laundry room/desk area...and maybe cream, or fake marble laminate for the hall bath vanity. Any other ideas?
Thanks for your input and suggestions! :)
Kitchendesigntips, if you are a professional advertising your products, that is a NO_NO on Gardenweb. I notice you just registered 1/22/11.
And Lavender, I do NOT recommend ceramic tile for the counter top. The backsplash is another matter, but I think the seams on the counter would be a big issue with cleaning. I personally like Silestone Quartz, chosen to coordinate with your color scheme of course.
And the butcherblock would be a nice island surface.
I do think you can have SOME open shelving in places that are not as visible to passersby. Between the range and the island is the area least visible, also the end which is facing the sink cabinet. I think that doors on the cabs under the island bar side should not be glass, due to folks especially kids, kicking their feet or looking for a spot to rest their boots comfortably while sitting there. I do not recall how deep the overhang is where the stools are situated. Are those going to be swivel stools with backs?
Make sure that little folks have some surface on the stool where they can rest their short legs, not swing them into the glass cab doors if that is what you use.
I like the blue laminate. The contrast with the white appliances is fine. Check out my brown counters with white. Delft blue and white is such a classic combination, I do not know how you can go wrong with it. I like the backsplash tiles you chose, too. My very first kitchen re-do was in 1986 with my Baton Rouge kitchen. We repainted the cabs gloss white and did the counter and backsplash in cobalt blue 3x3 tiles. ML is right. You do not want a tile counter!
I agree on no tile counter top - who wants more grout!
and I'd want glass on bookshelves but ML is right about little ones... I won't have them because I know they'd be covered with dog hair! ugh!
I think that first blue BS was too busy also - like the 2nd one.
if it's table vs island w/shelves, why not have a table/island combo? with shelves on the end? how about plexiglass?
good catch ML!
I like the white cabinets with the blue laminate... It isn't like putting in granite that is "forever". I like the open shelves....I want that in my future kitchen to put my collection of white pitchers.
Good luck pulling this house together....you are undertaking a huge task returning that farm house into your new plans...but you can make it happen, if anyone can.
I'm glad many of you like the blue laminate and second backsplash. I think they'll look wonderful together and add a little more personality to all the white. The light yellow on the beadboard, is really pretty, behind the plate racks, too.
Phoggie- Are you going to have an accent color, behind your white pitchers? What colors do you want to use in your kitchen? And, thanks for the kind words :)
As for the open shelves, I really like the way they make everything so accessible, and give the kitchen a more vintage look IMHO. I would love to have a plate rack, bookcase, maybe some pegs for mugs and display above the upper cabinets. They're ALL dust catchers, but they do add a lot of charm. I have some of those now...and while they get dusted a lot, they're my favorite parts of the kitchen!
Lavender....I am not sure what color I will use....have to build it first :-)....but I am thinking I will paint the back of the cabinet the same color as the kitchen, with white shelving.
I love your blue and white....so charming!
"You pays your money and you takes your choice." That is the way I feel about keeping things clean. I'd much rather do some dusting than polishing glass. I never seem to get rid of the streaks.
I can wipe off shelves, repainting them is easier with no glass to mask to get a neat edge. I can always put the dusty glasses and dishes into a partially full dish washer if that becomes a problem.
I too will have before I'm done, an open plate rack. I have several styles saved to copy.
Lavender, the HOUZZ blog is featuring a photo gallery of the NEW KITCHEN ISLAND TABLE, and I submit the link below.
You'll enjoy looking at it, I bet.
Were you the one who got me addicted to HOUZZ? I see their albums every day, and have my own idea books there. If you do not subscribe, I suggest that it would be a good way to organize YOUR ideabooks.
Here is a link that might be useful: The NEW kitchen island/table
ML- I don't think that was me, but it is a nice website...cool island/tables!
Marti- Isn't that beautiful? It's Summerfield's software and I don't think anyone knows what it is...and I know many of us have asked. Since I wouldn't know the first thing about using it anyway, I'm just thrilled Summerfield has been gracious enough to draw up the plans for me! :)
LL, I am thinking of two spots, on either side of the kitchen sink. That plate rack spot could be turned to FACE the sink at either end of the cabinet run. I'm not sure if there will be TWO such racks. Perhaps an open long upper shelf for serving dishes can go on the range side of the kitchen.
I think of my new kitchen as being a galley style, with a few wiggles to it. And a little more width between the two sides, so I can keep my skinny rolling island and move it around as I please. Two of the wheels lock, so it will be steady. The only other island I've had was a butcher block microwave cart on wheels too. I kept it in the center of the U-shaped kitchen at MoccasinLanding, with a small potrack above it--a pot rack that was attached to a boat pulley and tied off to the wall with a boat cleat, so I could raise and lower it as need-be.

• Taking in a current run movie at the Historic Lynwood Theatre which first opened in 1936 (2.4 m)
Keywords: Beachfront, View, House
We have been fans of Bainbridge Island for a very long time and when the opportunity to acquire this home arose, we couldn't resist. We have spent over three decades managing award winning hotels saw this house as a great chance to marry our professional experience with a love for the island.
Both of us are avid cyclists, sailors, and dog lovers which are just some of the many outdoor activities that you can enjoy on Bainbridge.
We hope you have the opportunity to stay with us and enjoy all that our location has to offer.
Pat McShane purchased this house in 2012
We fell in love with this house because of the stunning view of Seattle and Puget Sound from every room in the house. The other advantages are its low traffic south island location, great cycling, kayaking, diving and wonderful light filled rooms.
This is a great house for activities such as sipping coffee while watching the sun come up over Seattle and the cascades, sitting on the beach with a campfire or just walking the dog to Halls Hill Overlook.
For those wanting more physical activities the south island location is convenient to cycling over to Lynnwood for a morning pastry, jumping on one of the hiking trails close by or kayaking to Blakely harbor.
We LOVED this home! Beautiful, well stocked with all the basics, incredible views, neat as a pin! The fire pit and chairs on the beach were crazy beautiful. The ferries and ships passing by = incredible. Amazing views of Seattle and all around. Just a short drive into the town of Winslow. We were absolutely thrilled with this rental and would stay there again in a heartbeat. The owners were very easy to work with. Thank you SO much for sharing your lovely home!
beautiful view of the water and Seattle. Very nice little home with all the necessary amenities to be comfortable.
This was our first stay in Bainbridge Island and what better home to stay in than the Rockaway Beach Waterfront home? None. This home was comfortable, cozy, warm, and had amazing views of the sound with Seattle across the water from the living room and master bed room. The kitchen is built with new cupboards and appliances. The master bedroom and loft were very comfortable. There is no doubt in my mind we'll be back for a visit in the future. To me, this is the best place in Seattle for a relaxing stay combined with an amazing view and most comfortable stay.
This was our first stay at Rockaway Beach. We've already booked our second. We are VRBO regulars and my husband and I both think this place is wonderful. The location is quiet. The house was perfectly provisioned and spotless. The views are terrific. Not simply waterfront, but views of downtown Seattle plus ferry and shipping traffic. That's hard to find. You can listen to the waves from the master bedroom. Good WiFi (not always the case in VRBOs). The owners made us feel welcome. We also appreciated their timely responses and prompt return of our deposit. They are very easy to work with and so happy that they are pet friendly. We were very pleased with our stay and look forward to the next.
Our 4 night vacation to your beautiful Rockaway Beach home was fantastic. The home was spacious and well furnished and very comfortable. The living room fireplace was so warm and inviting after a day of shopping and dinner on the island or in Seattle. We enjoyed the bottle of wine waiting on the counter to greet us upon arrival. What a nice touch!
This was the second time my family and I stayed at Rockaway Beach. We made it another girl's weekend and were not disappointed. The views remain incredible and the island still beautiful. The addition of the fire pit was wonderful although the Seattle weather only cooperated with us one night. The home was well equipped and very cozy with great views all around. Pat and Carla were great hosts once again. We hope to visit again in the future!
Rockaway Beach Road is one of most sought after locations on the island because of its outstanding views and quiet south island location. The south end of the island is the quieter location and does not have the traffic of 305 to contend with.

With so much conflicting information circling Internet about vaccines and whether they are safe or unsafe for children,
especially via social media and blogs,
Leslie Deitch Noble, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, reminds us why childhood vaccines are so important and addresses some of the common myths and misconceptions that parents encounter online:
"I love being a general pediatrician because of the unique privilege I have of getting to know families in a meaningful way and seeing the children in those families grow up over weeks, months and years. There is no greater reward than helping a child
become and then stay happy and healthy. To that end, it is my goal to not only treat a child's illness and address immediate problems, but, more importantly, to prevent illness whenever possible. That's why I'm so passionate about immunization for my patients
and my own loved ones."
Should I have my child vaccinated? Why?
Yes. The simple answer: to prevent your child from contracting life-threatening illnesses. Vaccines have been incredibly successful at reducing the prevalence of diseases like polio, measles, whooping cough, meningitis and chicken pox, but these diseases
have not been completely eradicated, especially in other parts of the world. We live in a global society, and thanks in part to lapses in vaccine rates throughout the U.S., we are seeing a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases in our country. The ability
of vaccination to reduce the incidence of disease depends on herd immunity, meaning the vaccination of a significant portion of the population. So, if children are vaccinated, that provides protection for everyone in the community, including those receiving
chemotherapy for cancer who are unable to receive the inoculations themselves.
Vaccination Schedule for Infants & Children
Do vaccines cause autism?
No. Vaccines, especially the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, were inaccurately linked to the rise in autism rates. This claim, which grew from Andrew Wakefield's small (only 12 subjects) and now discredited 1998 case report, has been
disproven in large-scale studies.
Another reason that MMR may have been linked to autism is due to the timing of the vaccine, which is administered between 12 and 15 months of age. Autism also begins to present itself around 12 months when affected children do not meet social and language
skills milestones. But it has been proven repeatedly in large-scale studies that there is no link between vaccines, including the MMR, and autism.
Are vaccines "too much" for children's immune systems?
No. Our immune systems, including those of babies and children, are exposed to tens of thousands of foreign substances (i.e., antigens) every single day, which is significantly higher (1000-fold) than what children are exposed to in a vaccine. Administering
multiple vaccines at the same appointment is both safe and effective. Combining vaccines into one visit also leads to fewer appointments and, more importantly, fewer tears.
Are preservatives in vaccines harmful?
No. Preservatives (the purpose of which are to keep vaccines hygienic and free from bacteria) and stabilizers in vaccines have also been proven in many large, controlled studies to cause no harm. Babies are exposed to larger amounts of preservatives
in their natural environment, including preservatives transferred from mother to baby in breast milk.
What about "alternative", "slow", or "delayed" vaccine schedules?
No. The medical community (The Centers for Disease Control, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The Institute of Medicine, The American Medical Association) advocates following the Recommended Immunization Schedule for Persons 0-6. This schedule
has been specifically designed, researched, and tested to be the safest and most effective way to immunize children. Deviation from this schedule leaves children vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases and illnesses like whooping cough, meningitis, measles
and more, all of which can be life-threatening.
Where can I go to read reliable information about vaccines? Your child's pediatrician is the best person to come to with any questions, concerns or the recommended schedule of vaccinations. The following are links to reputable organizations and studies for
more information:
More and more children are being diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders —a range of neurobiological disorders that are best managed
when they are diagnosed early. It is estimated that one in 110 children is affected by autism and that boys are four times more likely than girls to have the condition.
Some signs of autism can be detected in very early childhood. It is important for parents and other caretakers to be aware of concerning signs and behavioral patterns so that children can be evaluated as soon as possible.
Sara Wiemer, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, identifies some of the signs of autistic spectrum disorders in children:
Have you noticed any of these signs of autism in your child? Don't hesitate to bring your concerns to your child's pediatrician.

Dallas Fed video: Texas grew 'robustly' in 2014, economy will slow this year
Texas employment grew "robustly" in 2014, Mine Yücel, director of research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, says in the regional bank's Texas economic update video released today.
Note: The numbers and percentages in the video are different from those I've reported in the past from the Texas Workforce Commission and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics because the Dallas Fed benchmarks its data each month.
In the latest 2.27-minute video, Yücel tells us that Texas' employment grew 3.6 percent in 2014, adding 409,000 jobs. And the state's unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent — the lowest level since May 2008.
By industry, construction saw the fastest job growth rate in last year, up 8.1 percent or nearly 51,000 jobs, she says. The oil and gas industry was No. 2, with employment up 7.4 percent or 21,000 jobs. Professional and business services added the most jobs, nearly 95,000, or up 6.4 percent.
Yücel expects the steep decline in the price of oil — down 60 percent since June — will slow growth this year. While low oil prices helps the U.S. economy (consumers and refineries, in particular), they hurt Texas (oil producers and any industry that benefited from the oil boom), she explains.
For example, the Texas drilling rig count fell by 90 just in January and several companies have announced reductions in capital spending and job cuts. Moody's Investors Service today said it expects its most important North American customers to cut capital investments by 30 percent to 40 percent.
Just today the Texas Workforce Commission said four companies had notified it of layoffs: General Electric (formerly Lufkin Industries) will lay off 330 workers; Trican Well Service will cut 125 jobs; rig contractor Lariat Services will cut 26 jobs; and Sandridge Energy will lay off 25 people.
Yücel thinks Texas' job growth will be in the range of 2 percent to 2.5 percent this year, or 235,000 to 295,000 new jobs.
She also thinks Texas could see half as much severance tax revenue this year from 2014 if oil production slides and exports and related manufacturing could suffer from a stronger U.S. dollar.
Still, Yücel does not foresee recession looming for Texas.
This is the third such video. I blogged about the video series when it debuted in June. The Dallas Fed tracks lots of economic data and provides economic forecasts by a staff of economists and researchers.

Pruining Question
I planted three ES hydrangeas this spring and so far they have exceeded my expectations. One question that i have is a couple of the hydrangeas were hit with frost early this spring and now the flowers have all faded away and are turning brown and have fallen off the stems. Is it ok if i prune the stems where the spent flowers are located or will that effect bud formation for next year? The only reason i ask is because it looks kind of silly and isnt aesthetically pleasing.
Go right ahead! Hydrangea macrophyllas should be pruned after they bloom. Reblooming hydrangeas are actually more likely to develop flowers again later in the season if you 'deadhead' them just after their first flush has run its course. Be sure to cut your stems just above a pair of leaves (or at any node) for the most success.

I have long been a fan of one page resumes because the screener rarely if ever reads the second page. Start your search by preparing the best one page resume you can. Edit it often until you are satisfied and follow the tips to reduce margins. Keep your accomplishments action oriented showing the impact on measurable results or demonstrating a skill you have developed and used.
With new grads, employers are looking for indication of work ethic, values, and performance in internships, classes, or special distinctions. For example, one college student I know has helped her law studies mock trials group gain entrance to national competition in San Diego. Another student took a product developed in a class project to actual market. Be sure to have a professional email address with your name rather using college email or a cute nickname you may have used in the past.
For employed individuals, show how your experience, knowledge or skills can add value to the organization you want to join. In all instances, create a job search plan with target companies. Also create a network list where you can let your network know what type of industry or location you are targeting. More jobs are landed through networking contacts than anything else. Success may take several months or longer but don't give up. Write all cover letters customized to the opportunity, and remember you are marketing yourself. Good luck!!

LATVIA IN REVIEW January 12 - 18, 2010 Issue 2 CONTENTS Government Freedom House Affirms Institutions of Freedom Remain Resilient in Baltics Despite Crisis Economics Redistribution of the EU Funds for Entrepreneurship High Level Advisory Group Discusses Stimulation of Economic Recovery Consumer Price Changes in 2009 Foreign Affairs Foreign Ministry in Charge of EU Communication Foreign Minister of Hungary, Dr. Péter Balázs, Arrives on Working Visit Minister of State of Foreign Ministry of Germany, Cornelia Piper, Visits Latvia Alternate Foreign Minister Greece, Dimitris P. Droutsas, Visits Latvia Foreign Minister Riekstiņš at "Snow meeting" of Foreign Policy Experts Newly Accredited Ambassadors Society Latvia – The Best Place in Europe for Female Professionals Latvia Wins Coin of the Year Award Articles of Interest Commentary by Ojārs Kalniņš, Director of the Latvian Institute: "Exporting Success" European Voice: "Piebalgs wins applause" Colorado Springs Gazette: "Mom works to help Carson soldiers honor battle bonds" Treatment Abroad: "Latvia is now an attractive dental tourism destination" Government Freedom House Affirms Institutions of Freedom Remain Resilient in Baltics Despite Crisis Despite the pressures created by the economic crisis in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, the situation with political rights and civil liberties has not deteriorated and the Baltics remain in the family of the world's free countries. Rights group Freedom House concludes this in its latest annual survey ―Freedom in the World‖ assessing the levels of political rights and civil liberties in 194 countries. ―The year 2009 marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was also a year when many of the countries that had won their freedom from Soviet domination found themselves under increased pressure from the global economic downturn. Despite these pressures, the institutions of freedom remained remarkably resilient throughout Central Europe, the Baltics, and the Balkans,‖ said Freedom House experts. For a state to be considered free it has to have open political competition, observe all civil liberties and have independent media. Latvia still has been given the highest ranking in terms of civil liberties. In terms of political rights Latvia has been given the second highest assessment on a seven-point scale. 1 Freedom House is an independent watchdog organization that supports democratic change, monitors the status of freedom around the world, and advocates for democracy and human rights. The organization conducts its annual survey since 1972. For further information see: www.freedomhouse.org Economics Redistribution of the EU Funds for Entrepreneurship On January 12, a proposal of the Ministry of Finance for the redistribution of the EU Funds from infrastructure projects for entrepreneurship development activities was reviewed. Taking into account the macro-economical situation and low level of readiness of infrastructure projects, the Ministry deemed it effective to put money into entrepreneurship advancement. The government decided to postpone the Ministry of Transport's project on airport ―Rīga‖ integration into the railway network as a Rail Baltica derivation, instead providing for an alternative railway infrastructure development project with Cohesion Fund financing in the amount of LVL 33 million (app. EUR 47 mn). The government also resolved to decrease the amount of financing for the Ministry of Transport project ―Development of Airport Infrastructure‖ by LVL 7 mn (app. EUR 10 mn) and to assign the money for the Ministry of Environment infrastructure and service activities. The Cabinet of Ministers ruled to postpone the project on the creation of spillways for Pļaviņas Hydroelectric Power Station by Ministry of Economics therein channelling LVL 22 mn (app. EUR 31,3 mn) for facilitation of entrepreneurship. High Level Advisory Group Discusses Stimulation of Economic Recovery On January 14, the third meeting of Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis and High Level Advisory Group to the Prime Minister was held at the Cabinet of Ministers. The participants were introduced to the presentation by the Ministry of Economics and the report of Prime Minister Dombrovskis on the current macroeconomic situation, as well as projected economic trends and policy instruments, which will be used to stimulate economic recovery. The participants of the meeting welcomed the current measures for improvement of the business environment. The experts emphasized the importance of defining a single medium-term national development vision in order to restore economic growth. It was also stressed that it is essential to implement the existing plans to attain the long-term development vision. The experts recommended use of investments for the development of vocational education as well as education of unemployed people on issues of business start-ups as additional economic incentive measures. The High Level Advisory Group was created on the initiative of Prime Minister Dombrovskis in May, 2009, and brings together internationally recognized experts who advise the Latvian government on the solutions to crisis and the national development vision.

The Foreign Ministry is now in charge of the library in the House of the European Union and of the website www.es.gov.lv. The Ministry will also co-ordinate the activities of the EU Information Centres in 33 regional libraries all over Latvia. The transfer of functions was carried out as part of the structural reforms and optimization efforts within the public administration system of Latvia. Foreign Minister of Hungary, Dr. Péter Balázs, Arrives on Working Visit On January 14, the Foreign Minister of Hungary, Dr. Péter Balázs, who was in Latvia on a working visit, met with President of Latvia, Valdis Zatlers, Foreign Minister Māris Riekstiņš, and the Speaker of the Saeima (parliament), Gundars Daudze. President Zatlers and the Hungarian Foreign Minister talked about economic recovery programs and economic indicators in the two countries and agreed that the main focus in both cases is on the job creation. Both parties also reviewed the plans by Latvia and Hungary to join the euro zone in 2014. Furthermore, they discussed economic co-operation and the potential to facilitate further economic contacts. The Foreign Ministers of Latvia and Hungary discussed bilateral relations, regional co-operation, relations with neighbouring countries and energy policy. As to regional co-operation, both parties shared the opinion that cooperation between the Visegrad countries (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia) and the Baltic States should be intensified. They also emphasized that co-operation with Eastern Partnership countries requires an active implementation of concrete projects. The Speaker of the Saeima Gundars Daudze welcomed the Hungarian Foreign Minister to the Latvian Parliament. Both parties noted the positive Dynamics of political and economic contacts and accentuated the increasing role of parliaments, taking key decisions under the current economic crisis, as well as in the light of the Lisbon Treaty. For further information see: 1) http://www.president.lv/pk/content/?art_id=14854&lng=en 2) http://www.mfa.gov.lv/en/news/press-releases/2010/january/15-01/ 3 Alternate Foreign Minister Greece, Dimitris P. Droutsas, visits Latvia On January 13, Foreign Minister Māris Riekstiņš met with the Alternate Minister for Foreign Affairs of Greece Dimitris Droutsas. The ministers spoke about European Union agenda, in view of the EU transition period - the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, the new composition of the European Commission, and setting up the European External Action Service. The ministers shared the opinion that member states should be adequately represented in the new European External Action Service. The parties also focused on the EU enlargement process with regard to the Western Balkans and Turkey. ―Latvia supports the open door policy regarding the enlargement process. Nevertheless, potential member states must comply with the established accession criteria,‖ Minister Riekstiņš pointed out. Foreign Minister Riekstiņš noted the potential of strengthening economic relations between Latvia and Greece and the important role of tourism for the economic development of both countries. Alternate Foreign Minister Droutsas also met with the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Saeima (parliament). The parties emphasized that both countries, being located on the external borders of the EU, face similar problems which call for EU-level solutions. They also spoke about the co-operation between parliamentary commissions and groups of MPs. For further information see: http://www.mfa.gov.lv/en/news/press-releases/2010/january/13-04/ Minister of State of Foreign Ministry of Germany, Cornelia Pieper, Visits Latvia On January 12, the Minister of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Cornelia Pieper, was on a working visit in Latvia. In the Foreign Ministry of Germany, Ms Pieper is in charge of regional co-operation with Eastern Europe, and heads the Department of Culture and Communications. Foreign Minister Maris Riekstins and Ms Pieper discussed bilateral co-operation and partnership at the regional level. The German Minister of State also met with the Minister of Culture of Latvia Ints Dālderis and talked about bilateral cultural exchange. In the Goethe – Institut, Ms Pieper took part in a meeting between Latvian and German cultural workers. She discussed university co-operation and scholarship programmes with representatives from universities and with students. Foreign Minister Riekstiņš at "Snow meeting" of Foreign Policy Experts On January 14 – 15, Foreign Minister Māris Riekstiņš took part in foreign policy experts' ―Snow meeting‖, a discussion on ―Key challenges to Euro-Atlantic security in 2010‖ in Trakai, Lithuania. The "Snow meeting" brought together European and North American experts on international and security policy - politicians, political scientists, diplomats and analysts – to exchange opinions on challenges that the Euro-Atlantic community will have to face in 2010. In particular, the meeting aimed to put forward ideas and proposals on EU and NATO policy towards Russia, as well as enlargement of NATO and the EU. The participants also held a debate on Russia's foreign policy implications for Eastern Europe, NATO-Russia, EU-Russia and the neighborhood it shares with the EU. Newly Accredited Ambassadors Ambassador agréé of Turkey to Latvia – HE Ayşe Ayhan Asya 4 Society Latvia – The Best Place in Europe for Female Professionals An academic, Gloria Moss, of the School of Business & Management at Buckinghamshire New University, in High Wycombe, has written a book ―Profiting from Diversity‖ which shows that Latvia is the best place in Europe to get ahead as a woman. Research has found that the glass ceiling complained of by professional women in Britain does not exist in Latvia. In 2006 close to 41 per cent of managers in Latvia were female – the highest proportion of women managers anywhere in the European Union. The figure exceeded the proportion of female managers in the UK by around six per cent and was significantly higher than the likes of Sweden, Ireland and Germany. Ms Moss conducted interviews in Latvia and found many respondents felt female staff brought different and significant skills to the workplace. She said: ―In Britain there is still a glass ceiling in relation to what many women can achieve in the workplace. I guess many people may regard Latvia as being more famous for visits of British stag dos but actually it's a very well-balanced and forward- thinking country. I speak to many managers in business and normally you would expect to be speaking to a room full of men but that was not the case when I visited Riga, the Latvian capital. At the time Latvia's President was a woman, as was the editor of the country's main newspaper. These positions are normally a male domain. Having spoken to many female executives in Latvia the consensus was that there were no barriers to success in the workplace.‖ For further information see: http://www.times- series.co.uk/news/4850497.Where_is_the_best_place_in_Europe_for_female_professionals_/ Latvia Wins Coin of the Year Award On January 12, World Coin News publisher Scott Tappa announced that Latvia had won the 2010 Coin of the Year Award. ―I would like to congratulate the winners from both rounds of voting,‖ Tappa said. This year's competition featuring coins dated 2008 was hotly contested. The winner was chosen in two rounds of voting. An international panel of judges concluded voting on January 8 and winners will be recognized on January 30 at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany. The new Coin of the Year topped the Best Gold category. It is a 20 lati ―Coin of Latvia‖ issued by the Bank of Latvia. It marks the 15th anniversary of the renewal of the lats currency after Latvia regained independence from the old Soviet Union. The original design was created in 1922 by Teodors Zaļkalns, one of the first prominent Latvian sculptors, but never used. The plaster model of the coin preserved in the archives of the Latvian National Museum of History contains symbols that are of great significance to Latvia. Zaļkalns' mother images belong to the classical treasures of Latvian sculpture. The obverse of the coin features a woman in a headscarf, which to any Latvian signifies motherhood. The scarf carries many meanings in Latvian folk tradition, among them the belief that a person who is lost can find the right way if she turns the headscarf inside out. The mother is the symbol of never- ending cycle of life, linking the past, present and future generations. The feminine principle unites the spiritual with the material; the symbols on the reverse of the coin, bread, apple, vessel with a curdled milk beverage and a jug of milk, also signify fertility and plenitude. A knife, symbolising masculine action, is placed next to the feminine images. The eloquent language of signs tells the story of what was most important to the Latvians as 5 their state and the national currency was born and these same values are paramount today as well. Articles of Interest Commentary by Ojārs Kalniņš, Director of the Latvian Institute: "Exporting Success" During Latvia's boom years, our exports never exceeded imports. Last year, during the peak of the economic crisis, they did. What gives? A look at some of our top exporting companies offers some surprising clues. At the end of 2009, 29 highly successful and respected Latvian companies competed for top prizes in the annual Latvian Export and Innovation Award competition. Somehow the words ―highly successful‖ and ―economic crisis‖ do not seem to belong in the same year, no less the same country, but in 2009 Latvia experienced both.

Some were surprised by the choice of Andris Piebalgs for development, or at least that's what the self-effacing commissioner said at the end of his three-hour hearing. But if MEPs had harboured serious doubts they were surely assuaged by an assured performance that hit all the right notes.

Eric J. Harder phoned his mother and asked her to mail over a Minnesota Twins baseball cap — not for himself, he told her, but as a token of gratitude for a new brother. Harder, 29, told his mother that if it hadn't been for Janis Lakis, one of the Latvian soldiers, he might not have survived. For full article see: www.gazette.com/articles/mom-92106-battle-soldiers.html Treatment Abroad: "Latvia is now an attractive dental tourism destination" Indeed, every year thousands of patients from old industrialized EU countries are taking advantage of EU dental care at reduced prices. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Latvia's capital, Riga, where dozens of clinics compete for patients arriving from Norway, Sweden, Ireland, and as far away as the US.

Traffic lanes for this traffic light have been incorrectly designated. The majority of the traffic flowing westbound on East Main St turn right up on Pierpont Rd toward Meriden Road or the 2 public schools located on Pierpont or go straight. Traffic gets tied up and creates a bottleneck for those leaving the Middle School on East Main St and shoppers coming from Costco, Kohl's and Coco Key as well as the regular local traffic. Very few vehicles turn left down Pierpont at this intersection. The lanes should be straight & left turn for one lane and the other should be right turn only.

Happy couples, particularly those in the first five years of their relationship, are often caught totally surprised when holiday pressure causes them to snap at one another. Our message this day is not filled with bah humbug, but is simply cautionary. The holiday season can bring great joy, but it also brings a degree of stress to nearly all. So beware of those stress points and adjust your expectations accordingly.
Here are three common points where we encounter holiday stress and some easy to apply solutions when you or your partner have that feeling that you are coming "unwrapped," as the big day approaches.
Three Common Stress Points During the Holiday Season
One, Too Much To Do. The Problem: It seems obvious, but we tend to forget or ignore this reality. This is particularly true when your holiday involves young children or grandchildren. It just seems that enough is never enough, and when you think you're making progress on your holiday "to do" list, that darn list keeps getting longer.
The Solution: If that to do list is constantly getting out of hand try to do more early on. Obviously you can't wind the clock back to early October, but remember this lesson for subsequent years: Do what you can while you can easily get it done. If you see that perfect gift, grab it, it doesn't matter if it's October 1st, or April 1st. Do what any smart squirrel would do and hide it away. (Leave yourself a reminder of the what and where of course.) As to the other aspect of the unwieldy to do list, remember this simple fact: You're never going to get it all done. Shoot for getting most of it right. The desire to have it all perfect is a classic form of self-inflicted stress. Recognize that happy trap, and don't go there.
Two, Company for The Holidays. The Problem: Well in truth, there isn't just one problem. Because company for the holidays can range from joy to agony depending on who your visitors are. But for most of us holiday visitors can cause their own degree of crazy making so know that before the doorbell rings and talk about it with your significant other.
The Solution: If his mother has a few too many "suggestions," or her dad can be a real pain, particularly after his third scotch and soda, talk about this well before their arrival. Now you may think, that's just an invitation to an argument, but honesty, if not complete at least in part, is a better policy. Pick a time before your company's arrival when both of you are alone and relaxed and looking forward to the holidays. These can be touchy topics indeed, but giving them a little daylight and communicating honestly about them is far better than remaining bundled up inside as the stress builds to a boiling point.
Three, Holiday Travel. The Problem: Well if you don't know the problem(s) you probably have not traveled during the holidays. Jammed airports, packed train stations, busy bus terminals, and highways that can look like a sea of red tail lights.
The Solution: Go expecting long lines and be thankful for every favorable break you receive. If your flights on time, do a little happy dance. (At least do that in your head, security might be watching.) For the three hour car trip that is now the five hour crawl, come prepared with some of your favorite music, load up the kids with car trip diversions for peace in the back seat. Rushing to pack the car, and leaving late is just a recipe for the perfect stress storm. Know before you go all those points that beat you down during a long hard slog, and come up with a plan that best prepares your mind, and your heart, to be in a place of peace.
Preparation and a positive attitude is the best preparation for a stress reduced, if not stress free, holiday season.

Would you gear your focus on stopping VD, now that Crabtree is out, or do you try and stop Gore??
IMO, You have to try and stop Gore. We are definately built, even with Kap under center, to establish a running game. We seem to never hqve an "elite" game when we throw first. We m ight win a few here and there, but in the long run, npi, to contend every year and battle with the big boys in the league, we have to get gore going, everything falls into place after that!!!
