March 30, 2011 OU backs repeal of Fla. funding law http://www.jewishjournal.com/nation/article/ou_backs_repeal_of_fla_funding_law_20110330 |
The Orthodox Union told Florida's House of Representatives that it backs a repeal of a law that bans public funds for faith-based schools, activities and charities. The law's current language bans public funds "in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution." Proposed new language that would ban discrimination on a religious basis is preferable, the OU said in written testimony submitted Tuesday to the Florida House's civil justice subcommittee, because it "would correct state-sanctioned religious discrimination that in practice affects all faiths in Florida." Faith-based schools and charities are ineligible for state funds, even for activities having nothing to do with schools. If the language, which was adopted during anti-Catholic fervor in the 19th century, is replaced, "no one in Florida of any faith will be forced to a religiously affiliated program," the testimony said. "No one in Florida will be able to proselytize using government funds. And no public dollars will advance any religious belief." |

Sunday February 6, 2005 10:00 PM 1.0 LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT PAS DE DEUX
DETECTIVES ARE SUSPICIOUS WHEN A NECK BOMB KILLS UNLIKELY BANK ROBBER -- When a solid citizen robs a bank and is killed by a bomb tied around his neck, Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) suspect that the victim had an accomplice who triggered the device, and they soon hone in on the murderer's (guest star Charles Rockot) next unwitting associate -- a bored New Jersey hausfrau (guest star Enid Graham). The investigators piece together the pair's bank-heist patterns, but they have to establish probable cause if they are to save the duped woman from a horrible death. Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B.

Wausaukee Exceed Revenue Limits (2008)
The Wausaukee Exceed Revenue Limits referendum was on the April 1 ballot in the School District of Wausaukee, which is in Marinette County. The purpose of the referendum was to exceed the state-set revenue cap by $575,000, with the additional funds being directed to the school budget. The additional funds would have been used to meet basic operating costs of the district.
Earlier in the year the Wausaukee school district put a different version of this referendum on the ballot, which also failed. The February 19 measure asked for a total of $4,125,000 in excess of revenue caps over four years to be used for general operating expenses.
Text of measure
Be it resolved by the School Board of the School District of Wausaukee, Marinette County, Wisconsin, that the final school district budget for the 2008-09 school year shall include, on a nonrecurring basis, an amount of $575,000 in excess of the revenue limits imposed by Section 121.91(2m) of the Wisconsin Statutes for the purpose of paying the cost of school district operation and maintenance expenses.
Failed, with 544 "yes" votes and 563 "no" votes.

Conservationists Protest Casino's Acquisition Of Whale Sharks
A Singapore casino developer is planning to import whale sharks for its planned aquarium, resulting in several local and international animal welfare groups launching an online campaign opposing the plans, the AFP reported.
The groups have called on the public to "voice their opinions" on the campaign's website on Wednesday concerning the casino's acquisition of the whale sharks.
The casino will feature a Marine Life Park set to become the biggest seawater aquarium in the world, holding some 700,000 fish in 20 million gallons of water, according to Resorts World at Sentosa, the builder of the casino.
However, organizations including the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, along with five others have come out in opposition over having whale sharks in the facility.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources lists whale sharks, which are considered the largest sharks, as "vulnerable".
"The union said in a statement: "No man-made environment, no matter how large, could accommodate the needs of a whale shark."
The sharks are capable of diving up to 3,234 feet and migrate over 8,060 miles. The group claims there is plenty of evidence showing the species does poorly in captivity.
In the United States, two whale sharks died within five months of each other in a "state-of-the-art" aquarium.
Jaki Teo, the campaign's coordinator, told AFP the site received more than 100 emails overnight.
Teo said they are hoping government organizations will support the campaign since it concerns Singapore's international image.
"It's not just a tourist attraction, people will come and say 'what's a whale shark doing in Singapore?'" she said.
Proponents of the oceanarium, including Resorts World at Sentosa, argue that the threat the animals faced "makes the role of aquariums in their conservation all the more crucial".
Resorts World said The Marine Life Park's goal is to "help protect the species' wild population from disappearing" and it has worked closely with marine experts to give the animals "top-class care."
The casino project is on track for a phased opening from early 2010 and will also feature hotels and a Universal Studios theme park.

Citrus medica var. sarcodactylus |
Buddha's hand, Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, or the fingered citron, is an unusually shaped citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections, resembling a human hand. In Japanese it is called bushukan (ブッシュカン).
The different cultivars and variations of this citron variety form a gradient from "open-hand" types with outward-splayed segments to "closed-hand" types, in which the fingers are kept together. There are also half-fingered fruits, in which the basal side is united and the apical side fingered. The origin of this kind of citron is commonly traced back to the Far East, probably northeastern India or China, where most domesticated citrus fruits originate.[1]
Buddha's hand fruit is very fragrant and is used predominantly in China and Japan for perfuming rooms and personal items such as clothing.
The fruit may be given as a religious offering in Buddhist temples. According to tradition, Buddha prefers the "fingers" of the fruit to be in a position where they resemble a closed rather than open hand, as closed hands symbolize to Buddha the act of prayer. In China, the Buddha's hand fruit is a symbol of happiness, longevity and good fortune. It is also a traditional temple offering and a New Year's gift.[2]
The fingered citron is cultivated as an ornamental tree in gardens and containers on patios and terraces.
Food and Medicine[edit]
Though esteemed chiefly for its "exquisite form and aroma", the Buddha's Hand fruit can also be eaten (often as a zest or flavouring) in desserts, savory dishes and alcoholic beverages (such as vodka) or candied as a sweet. The sliced, dried peel of immature fruits is also prescribed as a tonic in traditional medicine.[3]
Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis[4] like any other citron variety, is a shrub or small tree with long, irregular branches covered in thorns. Its large, oblong leaves are pale green and grow about four to six inches. Its white flowers are tinted purplish from the outside and grow in fragrant clusters. The fruit's fingers contain only the white part of the fruit and sometimes a small amount of acidic pulp, but many of them are completely juiceless and some are seedless.[3]
The plant is sensitive to frost, as well as intense heat and drought. It grows best in a temperate climate. Areas such as the coast of Southern California as well as inland valleys are considered ideal for planting.[citation needed] Trees can be grown from cuttings taken from branches two to four years old. It is very commonly grafted onto sufficient rootstock.

Architects of Change: Reconstructing Society
Sociologists at Work
Douglas Murray The Abolition of the Short-Handled Hoe
Through personal interviews and an examination of existing legal documents, sociologist Douglas Murray analyzed the process by which a simple farm tool, the short-handled hoe, came to symbolize the exploitation of California farm workers and served as a focal point for a successful social movement.
During the early 20th century, the short-handled hoe became the principal tool used by farm laborers for thinning and weeding crops. Growers claimed that it was more accurate and efficient than the long-handled hoe.
However, farm laborers saw another motive in the growers' preference. With the long-handled hoe, supervisors sometimes couldn't tell when workers were working or just leaning on the hoe. With the short-handled hoe, supervisors could more easily see when workers were working, because the workers had to stand up to rest.
Use of the short-handled hoe came to be called "squat labor" or "stoop labor" because of the bent-over position required to use the tool correctly. Numerous physicians and medical experts pointed out that use of this tool over long periods caused a degeneration of the spine, leading to permanent disabilities. According to one farm worker:
When I used the short-handled hoe my head would ache and my eyes hurt because of the pressure of bending down so long. My back would hurt whenever I stood up or bent over. I moved down the rows as fast as I could so I could get to the end and rest my back for a moment.1
As early as the 1920s farm workers were engaging in isolated protests and work stoppages over the use of the short-handled hoe. During the Depression, though, the poor people from Oklahoma, Arkansas, and elsewhere who flocked to California were willing to do any work, including using the short-handled hoe, for lower wages. Hence the protests of the 1920s were rendered ineffective.
Not until the early 1970s, when the civil rights movement was in full swing and the United Farm Workers union had been organized, was the issue of the short-handled hoe resolved:
Late one afternoon in the spring of 1973, farm workers leaving the fields of the fertile Salinas Valley in Central California gathered beside the buses which would take them to the nearby labor camps for the night. They moved nervously about a large pile of short-handled hoes which they had been using that day to thin and weed long rows of lettuce. One farm worker quickly doused the hoes with gasoline; another tossed a match, setting them ablaze. Cries of protest swept through the crowd as the farm workers served their bosses with a defiant notice: no longer would they work with "el cortito," the short-handled hoe.2
The protesters were finally able to mobilize state-level organizations to bring the growers to court, and farm worker strikes soon drew national attention. With the help of national labor unions, government agencies such as the Office of Economic Opportunity, and legal assistance agencies for the disadvantaged, the short-handled hoe was eventually declared to be in violation of federal worker health and safety protections.
Since the short-handled hoe was banned, farm worker conditions have improved, and growers report fewer worker compensation claims for back injuries. Moreover, the success of the case, along with the powerful organizational structure that developed to represent farm workers, encouraged labor protests over other conditions, such as exposure to dangerous pesticides.
In sum, the protest over one little tool, buttressed by the participation of government and legal organizations, spawned the farm workers movement that exists to this day.

The lying cretins who gave us the Iraq war aren't content that our soldiers are sitting ducks for terrorists throughout the Middle East now they're using them as props in a propaganda campaign designed to convince the American people that "progress" is being made. As the [Washington] Olympian reports:
"Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country as U.S. public opinion on the mission sours.
"And all the letters are the same.
"A Gannett News Service search found identical letters from different soldiers with the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, also known as 'The Rock,' in 11 newspapers, including Snohomish, Wash."
Just a few minutes of googling brings forth at least two identical letters attributed to two different soldiers: Oh, and here's another. Gannett News counts at least 11. Capitol Hill Blue reports "some say they were ordered by their superiors to sign their names."
According to the phony letter, everything is hunky-dory over in "liberated" Iraq:
"Kirkuk is a hot and dusty city of just over a million people. The majority of the city has welcomed our presence with open arms. After nearly five months here, the people still come running from their homes into the 110-degree heat, waving to us as our troops drive by on daily patrols of the city. "
It figures that these fake letters appeared in newspapers just as relatively trouble-free Kirkuk appears to be going off the deep end, along with the entire northern part of the country. Is this the kind of war propaganda we're paying for? I demand a congressional investigation! Why don't they hire Glenn Reynolds if they already haven't, that is. Here is the Pontifcating Professor as he tries to explain that the bogus letter isn't a bogus letter, you see, because it's a "form letter." Only a law professor could argue that so labeling it ameliorates the essential fraud of misrepresenting both the author and his intent.
Clearly, those who did agree to sign (when asked to do so by their military superiors) had no idea that their names would soon be in print. When one proud father congratulated his son on getting a letter published in the local newspaper, the soldier said: "What letter?"
The Official Story is that some anonymous GI wrote the letter, the military public relations team had nothing to do with it, the high command had nothing to do with it, and somebody nobody knows who mailed it out to all the hometown papers of the unit. Whoever did it had access to the soldiers' records, because in at least one case a letter was sent to the Olympian, published in Washington state, when the soldier and his family had long since moved to Idaho.
Aside from that, however, there is the problem of implied coercion. As reported on Capitol Hill Blue:
"One soldier, who asked not to be identified, said he was reluctant to sign the letter because he did not agree with the comments in the letter but said he was ordered by a superior officer to sign. 'When I'm given an order, I obey it,' he said."
The Olympian quotes Sgt. Christopher Shelton, signer of a letter that was published in the Snohomish Herald, saying "his platoon sergeant had distributed the letter and asked soldiers for the names of their hometown newspapers. Soldiers were asked to sign the letter if they agreed with it."
Shelton, it appears, did agree with it, but can anyone honestly imagine a soldier refusing to sign it when asked to do so by a superior officer?
It isn't enough that our soldiers are being put in harm's way in an increasingly ugly and pointless war: now they are being used as political pawns, forced to lie on behalf of the Liar-in-chief and his fellow fibbers in the War Party.
The story that this was a spontaneous campaign initiated by an anonymous soldier just doesn't wash. This has all the earmarks of a more than typically clumsy effort by some government agency or other to fight the "war on terrorism" on the home front. As such, it underscores the character of those who lied about the real reasons we went into Iraq, and are lying as hard as they can, as often as they can, to keep us there.
I suppose there are some good aspects of the U.S. invasion and conquest of Iraq. Someone in Iraq, somehow if only by accident is going to benefit from the infusion of all that money. And we are not just talking about material benefits. the proliferation of newly-minted Iraqi newspapers is proof enough of that.
The great irony, however, is that the Coalition "Provisional" Authority is unsettled by all this ideological diversity, and has responded by banning two television outlets, including Al Jazeera, and a number of newspapers, for "incitement." An even greater irony is that we, the American people, derive no benefits from this "liberation." Lives are lost, bodies maimed, but who gains, aside from politically-connected government contractors and lobbyists?
Ordinary Americans will have their tax dollars "liberated" from their wallets and transferred overseas, along with all too many of their sons and daughters more than a few of whom will be making a one-way trip. Now I think I fully understand why Ayn Rand hated altruism. If that's what this is, then so do I.
No matter what briefly enduring short-term good comes of the American occupation of Iraq, I'm sure the professional apologists for U.S. policy would be incapable of discovering it, or even of telling anyone about it. These people are incapable of telling the truth, even if it is to their advantage. They prefer prevarication. That's why the art of lying has attained cult status among the more exalted neocon intellectuals, who celebrate Leo Strauss's concept of the "noble lie" fibs fed to the masses for their own good by geniuses like themselves.
It's a depressing scenario, alright, but let's try to end this on a lighter note. Hey, I hear that the USO is sending a group of comedians to entertain the troops in Iraq: I'm sure, at this point, they could use a few laughs. But, uh, look who they're sending over there .
I'm not exactly an encyclopedia of popular culture, but this was the first I'd heard of Ralphie May. Judging from his website, however, I'm not sure I want to know much more. And what about Butch Bradley? Oh wait, you mean this guy? I never even heard of the people he's opened for, never mind him. I'm suuuuuure the troops will be thrilled to know that, along with these worthies, Lahna Turner will be paying them a visit no, not that one this one.
Aside from being Ralphie's main squeeze, I'm not sure why she'd be better than, say, Janeane Garofalo. Can anyone speculate as to why Robin Williams was passed over (after he was a big hit in Afghanistan) for a bunch of nobodies? Hey, what about Whoopi Goldberg? I'd love to hear the Pentagon explain why not. If our vocally antiwar Hollywood celebs had any political or PR sense, they'd volunteer for the Iraq gig and offer to donate the money to the families of the dead and wounded.
Better yet, why not fire Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle the whole neocon gang that lied us into war and send them over there as a comedy act. They could specialize in goofball slapstick, and bill themselves as the Gang that Couldn't Keep Their Lies Straight.
That's my solution to the Iraq disaster: send in the clowns.
Gee, it's been at least a few weeks since Stephen Schwartz, the Trotskyite-turned-neocon Muslim convert. wrote a screed for Frontpage charging Antiwar.com with sedition and me with being an agent of the Mikado. I was beginning to feel neglected. I mean, where is this relationship going? You never call anymore! But then oh glory be! my feeling of abandonment was lifted by a missive in the Letters column of the New York Review of Books (October 9, 2003), which reads, in part:
"In a violent diatribe drawing on a disreputable source, the www.antiwar.com Web site, Clifford Gertz described [Stephen] Schwartz as 'a strange and outlandish character.' However, he cites nothing about Mr. Schwartz that could fit such a description."
What can one say about a writer who goes to all the trouble to get over 200 others including the entire staff of Walter Magazine! to sign a letter protesting a bad review of his book? Strange and outlandish? That's an understatement. No wonder all sign of his employment at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, where he was listed as a "senior fellow," has been scrubbed clean from their website.

Three Star General Retires Over Bullying Allegation
by Associated Press
posted Jan 2 2013 7:32PM
The Pentagon says Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has permitted a three-star Army general accused of bullying subordinates to retire without a demotion in rank.
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, says Lt. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly was placed on the retirement rolls Tuesday.
A Pentagon inspector general's investigation last year found that O'Reilly regularly yelled and screamed at subordinates, often in public, demeaned and belittled employees and behaved in such a way as to result in the departure of at least six senior staffers from the Missile Defense Agency during his time as its director.
Panetta determined that O'Reilly had met the basic standard for being allowed to retire without a loss in rank, which is that he "served satisfactorily" as a three-star.

Well, it's basically a sugar daddy. It's a guy who will give you anything you ever wanted, but you're not obligated to sleep with him. So essentially you'd be a kept woman without really being 'kept'."

Occupy Wall Street
Alan Moore
In one of the best interviews with him I've read in some time, comics mage Alan Moore offers his views on the future of publishing, Occupy Wall Street and that sad tosser Frank Miller. He also comes up with an extremely appealing idea for wresting control back from the bankers and plutocrats: Change the currency!
Mull that over for a second, won't you?
What do you think needs to change in our political system?
Everything. I believe that what's needed is a radical solution, by which I mean from the roots upwards. Our entire political thinking seems to me to be based upon medieval precepts. These things, they didn't work particularly well five or six hundred years ago. Their slightly modified forms are not adequate at all for the rapidly changing territory of the 21st Century.
We need to overhaul the way that we think about money, we need to overhaul the way that we think about who's running the show. As an anarchist, I believe that power should be given to the people, to the people whose lives this is actually affecting. It's no longer good enough to have a group of people who are controlling our destinies. The only reason they have the power is because they control the currency. They have no moral authority and, indeed, they show the opposite of moral authority.
In the sixth issue of Dodgem Logic, I remember doing an article and I was trying to think of possible ways in which our society might be altered for the better. I'm not saying that any of these ways would necessarily be practical but it's important that we try to think these things through. It's probably more important now than it ever has been. There is a sense that we don't have an infinite amount of time to get these things right.
With politics at the moment seemingly determined to keep ploughing on their same destructive course because they can't think of anything other to do, when we're facing the possibility of an economic apocalypse, of potentially an environmental apocalypse, we don't necessarily have an infinite amount of time. I think that since our leaders are not going to address any of these problems then we really have no choice than to attempt to wrest the steering wheel from them. If they're aiming at the precipice with the accelerator pedal flat to the floor, then we don't have any other choices left. Do it now, in this generation, because we don't how many more there's going to be.
The economic problem is a strange one…
Economics is always strange. You're not talking about anything that's actually real. Researching a chapter for Jerusalem, I read a couple of books on economics to see if I could get my head around the facts of the situation. I was astonished when I found out the value of derivative bonds, in 2008. These are bonds that have a value in themselves that were once connected to a real thing, there might have been a bond made for the sale of a herd of sheep, but that can be sold on and they gain in value. The notional value of the world's derivative bonds was in the region of sixty trillion. Exactly ten times the economic output of the entire planet, which is around six trillion. That means that the gap between what economists and what the world's economic forces and the banks thought they had to play with and what actually existed was fifty-four trillion. That would seem to me the depth of the hole we are in.
So something has to be done about that. I would suggest beheading the bankers, but while it would be very satisfying and would cheer us up, it probably wouldn't do anything practical to alter the situation. Behead the currency. Change the currency, why not? It would disempower all the people who had bought into that currency but it would pretty much empower the rest of us, the other ninety-nine percent.

Frackers use large amounts of water to help extract hydrocarbons, and it is common for water to be shipped on expensive trucks. Environmentalists are concerned about the large amount of water used to drill every new well. In desert-ridden states like Texas, this can become a very contentious issue. To help decrease the effects of droughts, states are proposing laws to make companies recycle a significant portion of the water used in the fracking process. As more states come to grips with the impacts of fracking, expect water recycling to become a required part of drilling.
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL ) and Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI ) are two big oil service firms that will benefit from mandatory water recycling. Halliburton runs its H2O Forward Service and is reported to have saved drillers up to $400,000 per well by increasing water efficiencies. Offering water recycling services to frackers is important for the company: In the second quarter of 2013 a full $3.8 billion of its $7.3 billion in revenue came from North America and $3.0 billion of its total revenue came from drilling and evaluation services.
Baker Hughes is in a similar position. It recently jumped on the recycling boat with its H2prO service. In the second quarter of 2013 $2.7 billion of its $5.5 billion in revenue came from North America. Its latest quarterly SEC filing does not state revenue by product line, but its 2012 yearly filing shows that $7.2 billion of its total $21.4 billion in revenue came from its drilling and evaluation segment.
Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB ) has a strong international focus, making North America's fracking industry of relatively little importance for the company. In the second quarter of 2013 just $3.4 billion of its $11.2 billion in revenue came from North America. On a product segment basis, only $4.3 billion of its revenue came from drilling activities.
Recent market trends
Recently the North American oil services market has faced a number of difficulties. While natural gas prices have come up, there is a large amount of natural gas production that is being burned off due to lack of pipeline capacity. Given the inevitable expansion of pipelines into new areas like the Bakken, drillers are very hesitant to spend on natural gas rigs.
Field owners are looking to save costs by drilling multiple wells on the same pad. Oil field service firms are forced to do more with fewer rigs. Also, the wide spread between America's WTI oil price and Canadian oil prices has caused many Canadian drillers to cut back.
Recently North American focused oil and gas service firms took a big hit. Year over year Baker Hughes's 2013 second quarter North American profit before taxes fell by $146 million. In the same time frame Halliburton saw its North American operating income fall by $191 million. Schlumberger is the exception. Thanks to strong offshore drilling, its North American income before taxes fell by just $31 million in the same period.
In the short term the pressure on the inland North American market is expected to continue. The roll out of major pipeline upgrades like Enbridge's expansion of Line 61 from 0.4 million barrels per day (mmbd) to 1.2 mmbd should boost Canadian oil prices and drilling activity; though if fully approved the project will not be completed until 2015. As the Canadian market improves, Halliburton should be able to grow its quarterly earnings per share (EPS) beyond $0.70. Also, Baker Hughes should be able to get its quarterly EPS back up to the $0.86 to $1.00 levels it posted in the first half of 2012.
The up and coming player
Nuverra Environmental Solutions (NYSE: NES ) is a small player that is a direct play on environmental management services for the oil and gas industry. It is trying to differentiate itself by offering complete lifecycle services, from the delivery of water to its final disposal.
Nuverra is still rolling out its full product lineup, but it is already stabilizing its spending. Its cash capital expenditures fell from $240 million in 2011 to $129 million in 2012, while its revenue grew from $548 million to $730 million in the same time period. Thanks to drillers' desire to cut costs and pressure to make fracking more environmentally friendly, Nuverra is expected to stop its EPS losses by 2014.
Foolish conclusion
Reducing water usage helps drillers be greener and boost their bottom lines. Halliburton and Baker Hughes are two major oil field service firms ready to benefit from increased water recycling. Nuverra is a small firm that is a direct play on water recycling. If you are willing to deal with the increased risk and reward that comes from investing in a small company dependent on a volatile industry, then Nuverra is worth a second look.
Fight back against higher oil prices
Think the days of $100 oil are gone? Think again. In fact, the market is heading in that direction now. But for investors that are positioned to profit from the return of $100 oil, it can't come soon enough. To help investors get rich off of rising oil prices, our top analysts prepared a free report that reveals three stocks that are bound to soar as oil prices climb higher.

Isla Lipana & Co. proudly supports the 3rd Integrity Summit
Chairman and Senior Partner Alex Cabrera shared the firm's initiatives to continually embed an ethical culture in the firm with the delegates of the 3rd Integrity Summit on 19 September 2013 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.
Alex explained that ethical conduct is "doing the right thing even if nobody is looking". He highlighted the PwC Global People Survey (GPS) as a process and a monitoring tool to help our partners and staff to be vigilant in helping one another behave in an ethical manner. Alex gave credit to the firm's predecessors and retired partners who instilled in the firm a culture of integrity.
The firm was presented during Session 2 of the Summit as an "Advanced" company together with six other companies, namely Convergys Philippines Service Corporation, Development Bank of the Philippines, GMA Network, MERALCO, Siemens Philippines, and Shell Philippines Exploration.
Advanced companies:
have undertaken the integrity self-assessment
have undergone the independent validation organized by Integrity Initiative
have established integrity practices in their organizations
are demonstrating best practices
were given a chance to showcase their integrity practices through an exhibit.
The Summit was organized by Integrity Initiative, a private sector-led campaign aiming to strengthen ethical standards in society. It aspires for a level playing field for business, where ethical companies enjoy competitive advantage in both government and private sector transactions.
Integrity Initiative is implemented by the Makati Business Club and the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines with funding support from Siemens Germany.

A year already? I can hardly believe it! Since I was last on Gentri Lee, it seems like everything has changed though things are still pretty much the same. The biggest change is that I went and got myself preggers, and will be having a baby in less that 4 weeks, though I'm in denial about the whole labor part of this experience; I'm still imagining a scenario where the magical timer goes off and he just "pops" into my arms, so don't anyone tell me different. Still working, and still blogging, though the craziness has made both a little more difficult. Thanks Gentri, your such a great part of my blogger community!
Hello again! I recently returned home from spending two weeks in Alaska, where I filled my time with so many great adventures, including camping, hiking, kayaking, and running a marathon! Alaska is such a breathtaking place, I'm so lucky to say that's where I grew up.
I want to thank the beautiful Gentri for picking me to be one of her first BOW. I was more than honored since we all love Gentri's blog and I never considered my little blog to be half as anything she has. When I was BOW, I don't think I had even hit 200 followers yet. I am now currently sitting at 574, wow what a difference. I think the most important thing I have learned through blogging is to blog just for yourself and no one else. If you miss a day thats ok, and if you are stuck on a subject just pick what is on the very tip on your mind at the time! For me, blogging has become my escape from real life and I kinda like not living in real life! :)

The friendly skies are becoming increasingly less friendly for those on a budget.
On Thursday, the three largest U.S. carriers announced the second hike in ticket prices in less than a week. Charging the extra $20 per round-trip ticket is another attempt at combating the rising cost of fuel, the prices for which have risen about 78 percent since last year.
Delta, United, and American now charge up to $130 in fuel surcharges on some flights, meaning that you could actually pay more in taxes and fees than you'd pay for a ticket on a short-haul flight. These fare increases and added fees are becoming a never-ending trend among the airlines, so it's wise to book now before it costs more to fly to Orlando than the moon. Yet, this also raises the question of whether or not the airlines should just get it over with in one fell swoop. Is it better to drag out the overall shock of a landslide of fuel surcharges? Or maybe it's time the airlines treated us like big kids and ripped the band-aid clean off.

It's hard to believe that it's been just over a year since I started this blog. Those of you who haven't been with me that long may not remember that it began as a Beta blog for the Burning Crusade expansion. Crafter's Tome was a floundering newbie site at that time, and I was looking for a way to put us on the map.
Shortly before Thanksgiving Blizzard started giving beta keys to various fan sites, encouraging them to give the keys away through contests. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to me, as I was dying to know what was is store for crafters in Outland. I scoured the contests, looking for something I had a strong chance of winning. I found my lucky break at WoWStratics... an essay contest with the top 90 receiving a key. I knew I could write a decent essay, all I needed was a winning topic.
To make a long story short, I submitted my essay and I won a beta key. I started this blog as a way to report my findings to the WoW community. After the contest, WoWStratics told everyone that they intended to post all the winning essays online, but that never seemed to happen. I've finally given up on them and I'm now posting it on my own site for all to enjoy.

New Mexico State Motto
State mottoes may be said to reflect the character and beliefs of the citizens of the state, or more accurately, the citizens of the state when they were adopted. State mottoes can help us gain insight into the history of a state. [What is a motto? ] Adoption of the New Mexico State MottoThe New Mexico state motto was first used in 1882, when acting Territorial Secretary, William G. Ritch, added the Latin phrase Crescit Eundo to an early 1860's version of the territorial seal. In 1887, Ritch's version of the seal, including the words Crescit Eundo, was adopted by the legislature as part of the official New Mexico Territory seal and coat of arms. When New Mexico became a state in 1912, the Legislature appointed a commission to settle on a design for an official "state" seal. As it turned out, the seal recommended by the commission and adopted by the Legislature was almost identical to the territorial seal and included the words Crescit Eundo. About the New Mexico State MottoThe Latin phrase, Crescit Eundo, can be translated as "Increases as it goes" or, more commonly as New Mexico's motto, "Grows as it goes." The phrase is taken from Book VI of Lucretius' epic scientific poem De rerum natura, (On the Nature of Things). The New Mexico Statutes AnnotatedNew Mexico's state motto was adopted as an element of its official coat of arms and seal. The following information is excerpted from the New Mexico Statutes Annotated, Chapter 12, Article 3, Section 12-3-1. CHAPTER 12 - Miscellaneous Public Affairs Matters.
The coat of arms of the state shall be the Mexican eagle grasping a serpent in its beak, the cactus in its talons, shielded by the American eagle with outspread wings, and grasping arrows in its talons; the date 1912 under the eagles and, on a scroll, the motto: "Crescit Eundo." The great seal of the state shall be a disc bearing the coat of arms and having around the edge the words "Great Seal of the State of New Mexico."

Summer Paper Earrings
By: Maria Chatzi
These Summer Paper Earrings from Maria Chatzi are great for any time of year. They are lightweight and can add color and fun to any outfit. If you are looking for earring design ideas, make these paper earrings today.
- 2 white twisted handles from a paper bag
- 2 yellow paper flowers
- 2 turquoise round beads
- Jewelry pliers (round)
- 2 pieces of silver or (silver colored) jewelry wire, 2.4 inches long each
- 2 strips of turquoise (or any other blue) paper tissue
- 2 small flower cutouts from a white lace ribbon
- Ruler
- Glue
Twist your strips of turquoise (or other blue) tissue paper tightly and make one rosette with each paper strip. Use a little glue to secure both ends of your rosettes. Hold each rosette you craft for 2 or 3 minutes with your fingers, till the glue hardens. Then put these rosettes aside for a while.
Take the white twisted handles from the paper bag and make a rosette with each one of them (just like you did with the turquoise tissue paper) but DO NOT USE ANY GLUE this time. Hold each white rosette you make for 2 or 3 minutes with your fingers and then let go. The paper bag handles should spring bach out into the swirly shape you see in the photo.
Glue the turquoise rosettes onto the swirly shape, just as shown in photo above.
After that, take the outer free ends of the white handles and glue them onto the side of the swirl that's just opposite them - hold them firmly with your fingers till the glue has dried. You should've made a closed swirl (like a hoop) now.
Continue by gluing the yellow paper flowers on the swirly hoop. Then glue the small white lacy flower cutouts onto the yellow paper flowers. This photo shows what the front and the back side of your earrings should look like, at this point of your project.
Take one of your jewelry wire pieces, measure 1/3 of its length and bend it at that point, making a hook. Pass the top of your swirly hoop through this wire hook. Repeat this process for the second hoop.
Use your jewelry pliers to wrap the short end of the jewelry wire around the longer end.
Add the turquoise beads onto the wire.
Make a loop with your jewelry pliers and wrap the free wire end around the part of the wire between the loop you've just made and the bead. Repeat the process for the second earring.
- Attach them to French hooks and you have a lovely pair of eco earrings for your outings this summer.

What an incredibly cute idea. I've not seen handled paper bags for some time, but it seems you can buy twisted paper at the craft store. I could make these in every color! And, since we have summer all the time, I could wear them all the time. What fun!

3 Beatles songs I like, you might not have heard before?
If I Fell - The Beatles
Julia - The Beatles
And I love her - The Beatles
2 comments:
Nice collection share. I listened to the Beatles that year and was a hardcore fan for a while now, just now listening to what was the first time I mourned the death of John. I do not know why it was this song and this moment, but it is so sad and so nice to think that John and Julia are in heaven together.

Digital video is a medium that is now available to almost everyone. It can be captured on anything from a mobile phone to a high-definition camera, and published anywhere from YouTube to Blu-ray discs. In Premiere Elements 4 Essential Training, Adobe Certified Instructor Chad Perkins explores all the video editing capabilities of Premiere Elements 4. Chad starts with a real-world sample project, then covers techniques for importing and editing video; and adding effects, transitions, and animation. He concludes with a final project incorporating all the steps, including exporting and posting. Exercise files accompany the course.
I have recovered earlier in this chapter when you import footage into Premiere Elements, it's basically only creating a link to the original source files; it's not actually embedding it in the project itself. And as I mentioned also earlier, do not rename, move or delete footage or else Premiere Elements will not be able to find it. What I'm going to show you here is in those instances when you can't find the footage or when Premiere Elements can't find the missing footage. What to do? So I'm going to select File, Open Project, this will open the Chapter 3 folder.
Now I want you to select Missing. Now typically when I'm working in a project in this training series, I'll just let you know which project I'm working on so that way if you want to follow along you can pause the video and open up the project. But thing reason why we're opening this Missing project together, it's because I want you to see what happens when you open up a project that has some missing footage in it. So I'm going to click Open and the first thing that happens is this pop up says "Where the file adobe-pumpkin.jpg?" "I can't find it." It's going to look in the same folder in which it used to be and trying to find out where it is and it can't locate that.
So basically, this is the folder I had this file in originally and then I moved it and so Premiere is asking where is that file at? For now I'm just going to hit Cancel, and let me show you what happens when you hit Cancel. The project will open up and you'll get this media offline image here. And when a clip is offline that means that you are working with a representation of that clip. So as you can see here in the mini Timeline it says adobe-pumpkin.jpg. So we're still working on that file or at least something that represents that file. If you go over to the Project panel you'll see this icon which also represents offline footage.
We can also locate this footage by selecting it here in the Project panel and then going to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and select Locate Media. Form here you can navigate to the file that you're looking for. Now by the way you'll not have this folder and these files on your computers, this is a personal folder of mine. So what you need to do is navigate to where this object is and from there then bring it back in. Let's say, even though this is a JPEG, it is still image file, we could select a movie and replace this piece of footage, this still image, with a movie.
So what I'm going to do now is navigate to the Exercise Files on my Desktop. So I'm going to open up the Media folder from the Exercise Files folders. Open up Images and there is our trusty image, adobe-pumpkin.jpg. Click Select and it will automatically replace all instances both in the Project View, in the Sceneline and in the Monitor with this image and here I'm with this Adobe pumpkin that I card for Halloween. Yes I know it's pathetic and terrible. But anyways that is how to replace missing footage when it's gone offline.
In the next movie we're going to look at how to recover when you make mistakes as you're working on video projects in Premiere Elements.
