Obama not giving up on doubling exports
WASHINGTON — Meeting President Barack Obama's goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of next year today looks out of reach. But Under Secretary of Commerce Francisco Sánchez isn't ready to concede yet. "It has always been a stretch goal," he said at a press lunch Friday. "It is not an easy task. But we still have a terrific story to tell."
Obama revealed his trade goal in his 2010 State of the Union Address. U.S. exports of goods and services were $1.58 trillion in 2009. To meet his doubling target, they would have to hit $3.16 trillion by the end of 2014.
Exports last year hit $2.2 trillion, and the U.S. trade deficit for the year was $535 billion.
"From the Obama administration's point of view, exports and trade continue to be hugely critical – one, to our economic recovery; and two, to a sustainable, growing economy," Sánchez said.

Supermodel Kate Upton has starred in Lady Antebellum's latest single "Bartender." The music video made its debut on YouTube on June 19.
The video starts with Upton, who seemed to be in deep thought, in a room. She then heads on to the bar where she met with band member Hillary Scott and a few of her gal pals. The other band members, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelly, joined them later on. Upton challenges the bartender, played by "Arrested Development" and "VEEP" star Tony Hale for a drink-off contest, in which the Sports Illustrated model later won. The video was directed by Shane Drake and shot in Los Angeles in May.
According to Kelley, Upton and Hale's appearances have put the music video in a "really cool place." "I mean, pretty much every guy in America is in love with Kate Upton." He said they also fancies Hale's hilarious antics.
The song features an uptempo music about a woman who goes on a dancing and drinking spree to forget the pain brought about by a recent breakup.
Speaking to the Tennesean, Scott said that she likes the message of the song. "She's just going out with her friends and having a night out to forget about what this dude just did to her." She said that she likes the idea that the woman described in the song is getting over a heartbreak in a "fun way."
Kelley, on the other hand, said that it's cool to have a "fun track" even though the lyrics are "a little darker."
"It's definitely a head bobber, but then you kind of listen and you're like, 'Man, this girl is talking about literally drinking the pain away."
The song will be included in the band's upcoming fifth album which is due to be released later in 2014, but it is already available for digital download.

To be blunt, there should be herds of elephants in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, being trained and readied for emergency disaster response by the National Guard Reserves.
True, if DARPA were to issue a Robotic Elephant challenge, a one-on-one competition may still recommend the Real Elephant for practicality, maintenance economics, and general sociability.
Besides - Real Elephants are more fun, given their sense of humor, though herd ethics training will be required: Elephant teasing can be very infectious.
As always, consider the alternatives, while we still have Elephants!

Are you protected from HPV?
Have you heard of and are you safe from Human papillomavirus 1 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
In some parts of the world, there is talk of making HPV vaccinations mandatory, yet here, few people have even heard of the virus. Dr Nasreen Salahuddin explains
Human papillomavirus, better known by the acronym HPV, has for the most part been associated with female health, and is linked with the incidence of cervical cancer. In recent years, there have been campaigns launched by various bodies and officials in countries such as the US and the UK to make HPV vaccinations mandatory for young women, in order to prevent the growth of potentially fatal cancerous cells in the cervix (the opening of the uterus). In the last few months, however, there have been growing calls in these countries to make the vaccination mandatory for men too, following a rise in certain types of cancers. Here, we talk to the American Hospital's Dr Nasreen Salahuddin to find out more about the virus, which vaccines are available in the UAE, and who should have them.
What is human papillomavirus (HPV) exactly?
It's known as a virus you can get through a variety of different means, including sexual exposure. There are more than 100 strains that we know of, but the ones we see most frequently are 16, 18, 31 and 45, which are the most common causes of cervical pap smear abnormalities in women. Strains 6 and 11 are linked to genital warts, and the most common overall are 6, 11, 16, 18, 35 and 45.
How does HPV cause or lead to cervical cancer in women?
It's very simple. What happens with HPV is that when it comes into contact with the genital skin, it attaches to the epithelium tissue in the cervix (at the opening of the cervix) and once the virus is here the cells can mutate into cancerous cells and once this has happened, they can grow.
Can a vaccination protect you?
From the most common strains, yes. There are two vaccinations available in the UAE, the first is Gardasil, which will protect you from strains 6, 11, 16 and 18 – as I mentioned before, 6 and 11 are linked to genital warts, and 16 and 18 are two strains that can give you cervical cancer. The other vaccination available in the UAE is Cervarix, which is for 16, 18, 31 and 45, so it does not cover genital wart strains. The difference between these two vaccinations is firstly that Gardasil is only effective from the age of nine up to 26, whereas Cervarix can be given from the age of 10 up to the age of 55. Both vaccinations are given in three separate injected doses. The first can be given anytime, the second one is a month later, and the third is four months later.
And you must do all three?
Yes, you should have all three because you need to complete the course in order for the threat to be removed.
Recent research in America has suggested that men are increasingly at risk of contracting other types of cancer after having contact with women carrying the virus. Should men look at getting vaccinated too?
In America nowadays they recommend that the Garadsil vaccination should be given to males aged nine to 26 because they are engaging in relationships with women, and so the guideline from the FDA (the US Food and Drug Administration) is to give them the same HPV vaccination.
Is the vaccination available to men in Dubai?
Yes. In our primary care unit, if any patient goes to see a doctor and is comfortable with the idea and agrees to it, we can vaccinate them.
What are the side effects associated with the vaccination?
You might have a bit of a fever after the vaccination, and the second thing is that people can have some pain at the site of the injection.
Do you recommend people have the vaccination?
I recommend that young girls and men have the vaccination, yes.
How important is it that people know this is available in the UAE?
Education is very important in everything. This is one of the most common types of cancer we come across in pap smear tests, and I think by doing these vaccinations we can decrease the incidence and help prevent cancers caused by certain strains of HPV. There isn't a vaccine for all strains yet, but at least we can cover some.
For more information and enquiries about getting vaccinated, contact the American Hospital on 04 336 7777.

"Great location, accomodations for great price"
We loved this cozy (perfect for 2) apt in Leith, just a short bus trip from Princes St. It's walkable to downtown Edinburgh but conserve your strength if you're planning to walk around all d… More
Edinburgh is built on and around a dead volcano and so can be a bit hilly at places, however there is a great affordable bus service that goes on into the night and that everyone uses. The cheapest and best way to get around.

"Handy location, clean apartment"
We stayed here over the last weekend in August, being also the end of the Fringe Festival therefore lots going on. We had stayed in Edinburgh many times before but not down this end of town (normally the Grassmarket area). Quieter this end of town due to the Festival mostly in the Old Town but still lots of pubs and bars on the main road as you walk to town which we did in about 20-30 mins, buses if you dont like walking! Felt safe even walking at midnight. Nice Sicillian bakery across the road and other cafes nearby. Apartment was very clean and well equipped and looked like the photos. Top floor so a few stairs to go up. Think it might be the 4th floor. (Don´t be put off by the hallway - the apartment is much nicer!) The owner Peter was helpful and flexible with us leaving our bags at the apartment until our train left. Would recommend to stay if you are looking for a reasonably priced apartment for a short stay in Edinburgh.
The apartment has been much improved since these reviews, it now has a fold out comfortable chair / bed so can accomodate 3 people and has free wifi provided

"Great !"
Mis padres y yo estuvimos alojados durante nueve dias en este apartamento. Todo resultó bien, el apartamento está limpio, ordenado y tiene todo lo necesario, además de estar muy bien comunicado y muy céntrico. El lavabo es poco pequeño pero cubre necesidades, sin duda.

"Cosy, quiet and beautiful flat, with all the kitchen essentials and a very nice view."
Our short stay in this flat was excellent and very worthwhile, Peter has been very kind and helpful throughout our stay, there were absolutely no problems at all. Location is perfect, only about 15 minutes walk to Princes Street and a very convenient location for buses as there is a bus stop just outside the flat.

"Super Central Flat"
This is a great little flat just 2 minutes away from leith walk and 10 minutes away on foot from the city centre, it has a lovely view of calton hill. The owner knows the area well and gave us lots of… More

I really liked the ottomon. The size is perfect. Initially I thought it was one color but in fact it is has a mixture of two browns. It appears to give it some texture. The storage is huge. I would recommend this to anyone.
great size and plenty of storage... very pleased with our purchase!
I ordered this and three days later it was here! It is beautiful! It has alot of storage, the leather is of good quality and even the hinges on the inside are brown to match. A very good buy!
All of our magazines are now perfectly inside (up to 8 stacks). We just love the color and it is so comfortable to out your feet up or sit on it.
it is a beautiful ottoman. you can get a good idea of the color from the picture provided by the seller. The only problem i've had is that one of the legs of the ottoman broke but i was able to super glue it back.
I love this ottoman...store blankets and magazines and keeps family room looking neat. It is a little lower than I would have liked and also shorted in length. We have a big family room and a larger sized ottoman would have been better. But if you have smaller living area, then this one is perfect.
Perfect color and size. The storage bin holds many blankets and you could put magazines too if you wanted. We use it for blanket storage.
This ottoman is average quality. The faux leather looks OK, a bit thin though. The footprints of your feet will show on its surface for sometime.
The was the perfect solution for my family room. Everyone loves to have a throw when watching TV and I always the one folding and finding a place for all the blankets. This ottoman has more than sufficient storage and my family is always tidy and ready for company.
We have had this ottoman for several months now and it is perfect. The color is a dark brown and it has held up nicely. I love the storage. Although I miss our coffee table, I just place a tray on top when serving food or drinks. The best part is...our grandchildren can walk around it and not hurt themselves when they fall!

Remember when the search engine wars were about search? These days, it's a given that Google won on that front, but that's not stopping Yahoo and Microsoft from trying to beat Google at another game: free Wi-Fi. But, as usual, Google's getting involved too.
Yahoo is providing free Wi-Fi in New York's Times Square, complete with a landing page chock-full of links to Yahoo Local listings, Flickr photos, Yahoo News, and ads for Yahoo's new home page. There's also local events content from the Times Square Alliance, Yahoo's partner in the deal.
Microsoft has teamed up with Wi-Fi directory provider JiWire in its Ads for Access program. Under that program, Wi-Fi users at any participating hotspot (mainly in airports and hotels) can get free access, if they agree to perform a search on Microsoft's Bing search engine.
Google is offering free Wi-Fi at 47 U.S. airports, and on every Virgin America flight. Beginning next week, Google will run a photo contest on its Picasa service, where users can submit photos of themselves using Google's free Wi-Fi service to win prizes. Google is also matching donations to participating non-profits, made through Google Checkout from those Wi-Fi locations.
All of these services are temporary, running through the holidays and ending in early January.

Scott County
Iowa, USA
DAVENPORT — Edna M. Gord, 105, of Davenport, died Sunday, July 19, 2009, at The Postillion, Davenport. Celebration of Life services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Friday, July 24, at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 121 West 12th St., Davenport. After enjoying more than 50 years in her home in East Davenport, she spent her remaining time at The Postillion in West Davenport. Immediately following the services, Edna's family will greet friends in the Great Hall for a time of remembrance and fellowship.
Edna's ashes will be interred next to her husband in Davenport Memorial Park. Memorials may be made to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, in lieu of other gifts in her memory. Weerts Funeral Home, Davenport, is assisting the family with arrangements.
Edna was born in 1903 to Olaf and Clara Carlson, Moorhead, Monona, Iowa. Upon graduation from Iowa State University in 1925, she taught home economics in Onawa, Iowa, and Ironwood, Mich. She married Cleo L. Gord (another Iowa State alumnus with a degree in dairy science) on July 5, 1928, in Onawa. The Gords moved to Riverdale, Iowa, when Cleo became the manager of operations for the Iowana farms, and they moved to Davenport in 1952. Edna and Cleo had one son, Stuart, who graduated from Davenport High School. He graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School, and spent the majority of his business career in Chicago and Philadelphia.
Edna enjoyed travel, gardening, pets, and spending time with her family and her neighbors.
A strong believer in volunteerism, Edna got an early start by serving as a young "Victory Girl" knitting for World War I troops. She became interested in the plight of tuberculosis victims in the early '40s. Eventually she became president of the Scott County Tuberculosis Association, and in 1947 went on to become the first woman president of the Iowa Tuberculosis Association. Edna was responsible for establishing the "Free Care" system of paying for the care of tuberculosis victims and entrusting that every county in Iowa had a TB Association. Edna was a chairperson for the Scott County United Fund (now United Way), a president of the Visiting Nurses Association, and a member of the board of directors for Davenport Friendly House. She was also a member and trustee of the Davenport Lend-a-Hand Club and Gray Ladies of the Red Cross. Edna was a member of P.E.O. (a women's educational organization), the local chapter of Gamma Phi Beta, the Davenport and Outing Clubs, and the Altar Guild at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Davenport.
Edna is survived by her daughter-in-law, Barbara (LeBuhn) Gord, of Radnor, Pa.; grandchildren, Kristin Siglin, of Clarkesville, Md., Kathryn Callahan, of Alexandria, Va., and Steven Gord, of Newtown Square, Pa; and six great-grandchildren.
The Gord family would like to thank Edna's neighbors on Fulton Avenue and the caregivers at The Postillion for the loving companionship they provided to Edna.
Online condolences may be expressed to Edna's family by visiting her obituary at www.WeertsFH.com

Introducing...Frigidaire Top Loading Washers (HE)
Found this on Youtube (premiered on Aug 23, 2012).
New Frigidaire Top Load HE washer and (front load) matching dryer.
Let the conversation begin.
Here is a link that might be useful: Frigidaire Top Load
You beat me to it.. ;-)
I wonder if Electrolux will eventually slap their name on it - with added stainless steel drum and a heater or whatever premium-features they would think of.
Other than that, its a big AgiTub. Kinda like LG when in Scrubbing mode. Not too keen on that rinsing jet that dumps water on the tub but not on the laundry.
Here is a link that might be useful: Scrubbing LG
@whirlpool_trainee...I bet they will (like you said) put their name on it with stainless steel tub and heater etc.
I'm sure they'll monitor peoples reaction to the Frigidaire fist and make adjustments to the Electrolux version.
Just a heads up...
Word on the street is that this new Electrolux top load washer should be coming out this October.
Heater? Spin speed?
Doesn't look like anything other manufacturers haven't already done. Did you see the fine print about "compared to leading top load HE washers under MSRP $749"?
Oh well, can't be worse than the junk TLs that Frigidaire has foisted on the unsuspecting public for the last 30 years.
ok here you go. click for brochures
Top-line 4044 model has window in lid, manual water level overrides, and (only) 800rpm max spin speed. 2022 doesn't get the see-thru solid lid, is auto fill level only, and 700rpm. 1011 has less sound insulation and 600rpm. All are 3.4 cu.ft. DOE. None heat their own water.
Weak, IMO.
I wonder why Electrolux never used the WaterAid system in the US? Then again, the washer only got two out of five stars on http://www.productreview.com.au.
Here is a link that might be useful: Very informative user's manual
We usually don't get the good stuff in the US, or if we do, it arrives almost a year after the rest of the world gets it.
GE had a recirculating water thing like that for a long time - it even ran the recycled water spray through a filter - but don't think the new ones still use that design. I know the filter is gone - it had to be removed and replaced each time the washer was used and I doubt that was popular with customers.
Haven't had time to look through the Electrolux TL manual but notice it too says nothing about crucial items like spin speeds and water temperatures.

Last-Minute Holiday Shopping 2014
Phew, there's so much to do! As I reported in my last post, I've been busy with a move and the start of ski season. Although I don't have many gifts to buy, I do like to send out a few. I'm going to make it super easy and get online this morning to order original products of quality and charm you don't find all over the internet.
Check out my Online Shopping Page for my hand-curated collection of boutiques. Read the descriptions carefully to find out how you can benefit from a 10% discount. Most of my purveyors have told me that goods can arrive by Christmas–by regular mail–if orders are placed by mid-day today. Some have even noted that Friday is the last day. And, of course, there's always priority shipping to be extra sure of a December 24th arrival. In any event, it's best to ask each establishment if they can indeed fill the order in time. (Some, such as Telluride Truffle, are pretty swamped.)
Go ahead and check out these lovely boutiques. You'll be glad you did and so will your happy gift recipients. Remember to follow the instructions to receive your 10% Bonjour Colorado discount.
Happy shopping!

Skiing Beats Moving
That would be moving to a new place, of course. Because as a general rule, I do believe motion is lotion and you get some of the best motion when skiing.
Ski season is off to a great start here in Telluride. It snowed a ton in November, then we had a dry spell, now with fifteen inches of fresh over the weekend, we're set up nicely for the onslaught of holiday visitors due to arrive late this week.
I've been working out early season glitches such as numb toes, goggle marks and other assorted woes. It takes a while for my feet to become accustomed to wearing ski boots again and damn, I just can't seem to adjust my goggles on my helmet the way I did last year. I'll work it all out and as a Telluride ski instructor, soon I'll be spending eight-hour days in my ski clothing and equipment for stints as long as ten to fourteen days in a row. In the beginning of the season, I sometimes wonder how I do it, but fortunately I throw it into gear, work through the initial aches and pains, and then fall into the swing of things like skis gliding on the snow.

Grateful for My Friends in France and Belgium
I'm big at counting my blessings year round. As challenging as life can be, I try as much as possible to pause and feel truly grateful for all that I have in my life.
There's so much for which to be grateful, especially when it comes to love. There's nothing like feeling love and appreciation. There's nothing like feeling valued. There's nothing like feeling your heart swell with love–day after day after day.
I was blessed with an outpouring of love during my recent trip to Europe when friends in France went out of their way to meet with me for coffee, organize special dinners, include me in on Sunday lunches and chat with me at great length over leisurely breakfasts and afternoon teas. My friends in Antwerp entertained me all weekend long. And throughout every encounter, I felt a connectedness with my European friends that made it feel as though I had just seen them the week before. (It had, in fact, been many years.)

Telluride's Secret Spas
Spa-going is underrated.
Frequent spa goers know how an hour at a spa can transform you; and if you're lucky enough to spend the better part of a day being cared for within a soothing space, you can leave brand new.
As I've written before, Colorado's mountain towns boast some exceptional spas. Whether attached to a resort or not, our Rocky Mountain state knows how to meet the therapeutic and beautification needs of those visiting and residing in our rugged, sun-saturated environment. What better way to recover from a big day on the slopes or an energetic snowshoe in the valley? Indeed, focus on health and well-being permeates most every facet of our lives in Colorado, especially in Telluride where feeling good is more of a basic need than a luxury.
Below I've outlined a few of my favorite T-ride spas that might not be on every visitor's radar. Smart locals, however, have them on speed dial.

Highlights from My France Trip 2014
How silly of me to think that I could work in a few blog posts while traveling through France during these past few weeks! Really.
That was my intention but I'm afraid I failed mercifully at the task. Instead, I was busy experiencing life in France rather than taking time to write about it sur place. Sure, I took tons of notes and I will be churning out stories from this trip–both here at my blog and in updates of my guidebooks–in the months to come. (I'm also doing a downloadable guide for A Tour of the Heart: A Seductive Cycling Trip Through France, so the information will serve there, too.)

Keurig and Company Kill My Coffee, Tea and Me
I'm practically on the eve of departing for a big trip to France and I'm excited about many things: the flakey croissants that taste far superior to most sold in the U.S., the fabulous runny unpasteurized cheeses you can't find stateside (unless smuggled in), slightly chilled red wines such as a good Fleury, rich French stews such as a daube Provençal or a boeuf aux carottes, a savory couscous, the perfect omelet–well, you get the picture. As much as I love France for its beauty and the French for their joie de vivre, I guess I am most looking forward to their food and drink.
Coffee and tea rank tops on that list, too. I'm more of a tea drinker and the French do tea–in my humble opinion–as well as the English. By mid-morning I love a good coffee, whether it's a creamy café au lait or an espresso ladened with lots of sugar. Yes, the French do it right at home, in restaurants, cafés and hotels. It has been a while since I was in France but last time I checked, they still hadn't adapted the American tradition of having a coffee pot in hotel rooms. Mais non, their approach was always far more civilized and if you wanted a coffee or tea–even in small, modest hotels–they'd bring it to you. And it would be delicious, served on a little tray accompanied with cold or hot milk and often un petit pot of hot water.
For breakfast, they always gladly delivered your hot beverages to your room–with or without a basket of pâtisseries, something that is tout à fait normale, or common practice. Having breakfast in bed always has been more the norm in France than not. I'm praying that this tradition has been upheld.
If I enter a hotel room–not to mention more than one or two–and find those stupid personal coffee makers à la Keurig, I think I'll have a fit. Who ever was so stupid to invent those devices? I had a huge experience with them on a ten-day trip this summer where they were proudly displayed at every coffee station inside and out of the rooms. I can't tell you the aggravation I had getting them to work properly–they didn't half the time. And if they worked, often the coffee was cold. I had a few excellent cups of coffee and tea from them but none was worth the aggravation. I even had to call housekeeping a couple of times to help out and they ended up scratching their heads.

Road Tripping in the Great American West
There's nothing like a good, old fashioned road trip to give you a terrific sense of freedom. Perhaps it's due to the fact that you go under your own steam–that you're not reliant on a plane, train, bus or boat to get you to your destination. The fact that you're the captain of your ship means that you can leave when you want, go where you want and stop at whatever strikes your fancy along the way. Maybe it's liberating because if you take your own vehicle, it's like bringing your personal living room on the road. Whatever the reason, road tripping is so damned much fun. And there's no doubt that it's even better in the great American West.
Art & Culture France French Life Paris Telluride: America's original Francophile Clay Jenkinson Jefferson Hour The Thomas Jefferson Hour Thomas Jefferson Paris Thomas Jefferson wine

Jefferson, France, Wine and Radio
Thomas Jefferson, America's founding father, primary author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States, was perhaps America's first and most devoted Francophile. During his time as minister to France, he lived in Paris five years where he resided in an elegant residence on the Champs-Elysées and entertained his American and French friends with fine food and wine from his newly-adopted land. In Paris, he became truly serious about the pleasures of the table.
Funny how that sounds familiar, since that happens to most of us when we go to France. And wine is always a big part of the equation. Thomas Jefferson was one of the leading figures in facilitating the importation of wine into the U.S. from France and other European countries. Widely recognized as the most knowledgeable wine connoisseur of his day, Jefferson was a staunch advocate of the virtues of wine throughout his life. "No nation is drunken where wine is cheap; and none sober, where the dearness of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common beverage," he once argued.
"Here! here!" I say. How true that is–just like a satisfying meal; if it's delicious, you don't need to overeat, whereas if you're not satiated, you'll likely keep on eating–or drinking–until you are. (I'd say that's part of the problem in America today.)
I'm thinking a lot about Jefferson these days because I'm in full-on French experience mode, planning a trip to my beloved land where I lived eleven years (in Paris). This devotee of French culture, gastronomy–and the human experience in general–also comes to mind, since Monsieur Jefferson aka Clay Jenkinson is going to be in Telluride, Colorado this Sunday and I plan to go to hear him and say bonjour.

During this call we shall look at Easter and this weekends Full Moon Lunar eclipse and perfoem a meditation to connect with the blessing of it. We shall perfom powerful techniques, and activations for you to empower you, to open your vision to your own love and wisdom. If we have time for live calls you have the opportunity release your sadness, pain, hardships, stress or tension, whilst allowing you to open energetically to more of who you are.
Most weeks we perform a short meditation, play a crystal singing bowl and a freenote (a beuatuiful musical intrument) that leaves you feelling free. There is a talk where ancient and modern wisdom is shared and we always send forth the light to bring peace, love and unity to the earth and humanity.
Tracey will take a couple of live callers and perform a Intuitive Counselling session and blessing with them. When a technique or activation is being performed with a live listener it is divinely guided so participate and perform the technique, as you will also receive the energetic blessing as well. The people who call in are asking the questions for all of us, as we are part of a whole and the activations are for us all.

Knowlege of and compliance with this contract is essential to successful living.

There is no greater walk than to walk hand in hand with Spirit in quest of your soul's purpose. To this end, I offer this program as a forum for discussion and free information. I encourage any and everyone to email their birthdate to firstname.lastname@example.com to be featured on the program. Listeners can call in with birthdates for information about their Contracts with the Creator. Tune in and tell a friend!
