I can't sleep and it's because of you when did I become so dependent? I think about everything And how it led to the present I can't come up with it-the answer is not my solution I close my eyes and drift in and out of consciousness sleep my resolution. Patience my virtue I let it be but I still can't sleep And the only reason why is because of you. I feel like I'm free falling and awake in terror anger sets in and it's your name I'm calling. Something always stops me I get a hold of myself and try again but in the end sleep is beat.

9 Disgusting Things The Government Allows In Your Food
You've been eating bugs your whole life and didn't even know it. The FDA allows a certain amount of "defects" in your food because it isn't hazardous to your health.
A lot of the food we eat comes from nature, a place with a lot of creatures and dirt and stuff which can sometimes get into your food. The U.S. Food and Drug administration says it's "economically impractical" to produce food that's free of "non-hazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects" and set up these guidelines for the amount of "defects" that can be in food without it being hazardous to your health.
1. Raisins with fruit fly eggs
Raisins are allowed to have up to 34 fruit fly eggs per 10 ounces.
3. Moldy apples
Things made from apples are allowed to have a mold count of up to 11 percent.
4. Sandy peanut butter
Peanut butter is allowed to have up to 25mg of sand per 100 grams.
5. Mushroom maggots
Canned mushrooms are allowed to have up to 19 maggots of any size per 100 grams.
6. Tomato sauce with baby bugs
Tomato sauce is allowed to have up to 14 fruit fly eggs per 100 grams.
7. Crunchy spices
Ground thyme is allowed to have up to 325 insect "fragments" (body parts, feces, etc.) per 10 grams.
8. Chocolate covered bug legs
Chocolate is allowed to have up to 59 insect fragments per 100 grams.
9. Wheat flour and mouse hair
Wheat flour is allowed to have up to one rodent hair per 50 grams.
The FDA says these defect levels are only the maximum that's allowed before food is considered "adulterated," and most food doesn't have that much rodent hair or insect fragments. And since you've been eating it your whole life, it can't be that bad, right?

Pan Am Doing Well Internationally, But Is It Enough?
By Jessica Grabert 3 years ago comments
Pan Am has made some changes since its inception. The music during the show has definately improved since Episode 1, and the ABC show has acquired a brand new showrunner in Steven Maeda. Even with changes like these, ratings for Pan Am have been holding steady at 5 million and change. Steady is better than worsening. Recently, ABC ordered five more scripts for the freshman program, but we have yet to hear from the network whether or not the series will get a full season.
Boding well for the show is its international ratings. Perhaps because of its period charm and globe-trotting plotlines, Deadline is reporting out of five countries ratings Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Norway, and Spain all but Spain have ranked Pan Am as the highest rated new U.S. program on air. Those numbers, combined with the recent five-script order, bode fairly well for the program. Of course, the Sony Pictures show has a big week ahead of it. Pan Am is expected to premiere on British television via BBC2 next week. Beyond that, ABC should be making a decision on whether they will order more episodes very soon. Pan Am isnt completely out of hot water yet. Supposedly the show is getting pretty good DVR ratings, but thats not what counts for advertisers. A good way to ensure continuance would be if Pan Am could get its Sunday night ratings up a little. Between BBC2 and the staunchness of some of Pan Ams fans, theres definitely hope.

International Organizations
FY 2001 Actual FY 2002 Estimated FY 2003 Request 12,000 16,000 13,000 Objectives Justification The attacks of September 11, 2001 highlighted the close connections between illicit drug trafficking, organized crime and terrorism. There is strong political support worldwide to target these connections through coordinated efforts. International organizations (IOs), as established leaders in international counternarcotics and anti-organized crime efforts, are well positioned to provide law enforcement training and technical assistance on border security, money laundering and other intersecting issues. It is essential that INL take advantage of the post-September 11 international unity of purpose to fight illicit drugs, international crime and terrorism by supporting IO programs that promote modernization of criminal justice systems, help to establish high standards in law enforcement, and promote multinational cooperation. U.S. support for multilateral organizations complements our bilateral and unilateral programs by stimulating cooperation among countries and within regions. Multilateral approaches highlight the international nature of the problems caused by drugs, crime and terrorism, generate increased "buy-in" by more countries, broaden the base of support, and stimulate contributions from other donors. Multilateral programs can also reach regions where the U.S. is unable to operate bilaterally, for political or logistical reasons. In addition, activities or initiatives sponsored by the United Nations (UN), the Organization of American States (OAS) and other multilateral organizations are often more palatable to countries sensitive to sovereignty issues and bring the weight of the international community to bear on a problem or an issue of general concern. INL provides direct funding to international organizations such as UNDCP, the OAS' Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (OAS/CICAD), and the Colombo Plan's Drug Advisory Program, and through them, to smaller sub-regional programs and organizations. In addition, UN agencies, international financial institutions and multilateral banks engaged in development programs in drug source countries can have a major positive impact by factoring counternarcotics goals into their activities. INL encourages program collaboration among these organizations. UNDCP For most donor countries, the UN is the primary, or only, vehicle for contributing to international drug and crime control efforts. Active U.S. engagement is key to keeping them involved in, and committed to, what must be a truly international effort. The UN will play a key role in efforts to strengthen border controls and border security in Central Asia and counternarcotics challenges in Afghanistan. The U.S. has supported UN training and technical assistance to law enforcement and customs institutions in Central Asia and expects to expand those programs in the aftermath of September 11. Before then, the U.S. was just beginning to fund alternative development and subsistence assistance to Afghan farmers through UNDCP (the projects were suspended after September 11). When rebuilding efforts begin, increased alternative development and drug law enforcement programs will be critical. U.S. contributions to UNDCP have fostered an expansion of the Southeast Asia program that targets the second largest opium producer, Burma, where opium production is beginning to decline. This UN-led program encompasses China, Thailand and Laos, and includes projects in the Wa-controlled area of Burma and major alternative development projects in Laos. In addition, U.S. contributions to UNDCP support judicial and prosecutorial training in east Asia, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and southern and eastern Africa; precursor control in central Asia, Bolivia and Colombia; border and seaports programs in southern and eastern Africa; computer-based amphetamine training in East Asia; the ASEAN and China Cooperative Operations in Response to Dangerous Drugs (ACCORD) plan to address amphetamine-type stimulants; an international law enforcement academy in Turkey; the Global Money Laundering Program; a maritime training and cooperation program; a data bank for precursors control; a legal advisory program promoting accession to and implementation of the international drug control conventions; and development and implementation of a new financial tracking system for UNDCP. UNDCP Executive Director Pino Arlacchi will leave that position in early 2002. His departure should allow management reforms to go forward with greater speed. INL will continue to closely monitor management issues, working with the new leadership to ensure that reforms are implemented and sustained and programs are effective and efficient. OAS/CICAD The OAS, through CICAD, has played a key role in building a hemispheric consensus on drugs that has resulted in a formal counternarcotics alliance. Through that alliance, all OAS member states have now become parties to the 1988 UN Drug Convention and, through implementation of the Anti-Drug Strategy in the Hemisphere, are proceeding to develop comprehensive national drug plans, pass modern counternarcotics legislation, initiate drug abuse prevention and other key programs, and take other necessary actions. The work of OAS/CICAD was endorsed by the Heads of State at the Quebec Summit (April 20-21, 2001), including encouragement of the Multilateral Evaluation Mechanism (MEM), a peer review system to evaluate national and regional counternarcotics performances in implementing the goals of the hemispheric drug strategy and the 1988 UN Drug Convention. The success of the MEM will be measured by how effectively they are implemented by individual countries. The MEM will produce a report each year, one a detailed evaluation with recommendations followed the next year by a review of the status of implementation of those recommendations. The EU, the UN and other bodies are watching the MEM closely as a possible model for monitoring national compliance with other multilateral agreements or conventions. OAS/CICAD's principal project areas are legal development, control measures/law enforcement, demand reduction/prevention/treatment, and alternative development. It also manages a hemispheric information system—the Inter-American Observatory on Drugs—encompassing demand and supply/seizure data as well as a data bank of documents and reference materials and is working with member states to develop national data collection systems and observatories. CICAD has various initiatives underway to promote information sharing among national authorities, such as the Inter-American Telecommunications Network for Drug Control (RETCOD). INL contributions have supported projects in all of these areas. Some direct results include: model regulations on money laundering and asset forfeiture, chemical diversion, and trafficking in firearms (along with training and technical assistance to implement them); national drug strategies (29 of 34 member states now have such plans); a regional Central American legal development and training center that assists governments in developing counternarcotics laws and sentencing guidelines; a regional demand reduction strategy for the hemisphere; coordination of demand reduction programming for street children and women; drug abuse prevention programs for under-served indigenous communities in Central America; drug abuse prevention and treatment training for nursing school personnel, counselors and others who work with street children; projects to promote communication and cooperation among regional customs services, port authorities, and drug law enforcement agencies; and the establishment of a telecommunications network for control of precursor chemicals in the Andean producer countries and neighbor states. CICAD supports a number of projects that support alternative development and supply reduction, such as the Generalized Land-Use Evaluation and Management Tool (GLEAM) used to map land use, both legal and illegal, and support law enforcement, alternative development and integrated pest management projects that assist growers of legitimate crops (e.g., coffee, cacao, bananas) working in drug crop-producing areas. CICAD supports money laundering prevention programs for financial institutions throughout the hemisphere, including training for bank regulators and supervisory agencies, judges, prosecutors, and financial intelligence/analysis units. CICAD has conducted youth gang prevention seminars to assist regional governments confront this growing regional threat to our youth and to public safety. FY 2003 Programs UNDCP FY 2003 presents a prime opportunity for the U.S. to capitalize and build on the international consensus for a coordinated and integrated approach to fighting illegal drugs, crime and terrorism. Central Asia and South Asia will continue to require significant resources to strengthen borders and law enforcement capacity. Synthetic drug abuse is evolving and increasing, requiring more coordination to identify and track precursor chemicals. The U.S. must maintain momentum toward reaching the UNGASS goal of eliminating or significantly reducing the illicit production of narcotics by 2008, as well as other UNGASS targets. Notable progress has been made in some areas towards the ambitious UNGASS goals, though serious challenges remain. UNDCP has established itself as a respected, effective multilateral channel, and can provide invaluable expertise, as well as the ideal multilateral forum, as countries look to expand and coordinate their counternarcotics efforts. FY 2003 contributions will allow UNDCP to assist countries to implement a broad-based, long-term change from poppy crops to alternative crops. They will assist Afghanistan's neighbors to increase effectiveness in controlling borders and tracing and seizing illegal proceeds. While much of the focus will be on Central Asia, U.S. funds will also continue to be needed to realize a decline in opium production in Burma and Southeast Asia, where the U.S. has limited access. Along with a new focus on Central Asia, continued support will be needed for effective programs elsewhere that: strengthen drug control institutions and regional cooperation in the NIS, coordinate and provide law enforcement training, judicial assistance, and demand reduction assistance to Russia and Africa, and strengthen Western Hemisphere institutions to investigate, prosecute, and confine major drug traffickers. Through UNDCP global programs, FY 2003 contributions will bolster new international initiatives to track and seize illegal proceeds and control the precursor chemicals used in illicit drug production. OAS/CICAD CICAD's solid track record in designing and implementing effective programs has attracted a widening source of international donors. INL continues to be the largest funding source. The FY 2003 budget request will support the effective operation of the MEM and enable CICAD to provide the follow-up training and technical support that member states will need to remedy the shortcomings identified by the MEM. INL will fund program activities to strengthen national drug commissions; develop and implement comprehensive national drug strategies; promote regional cooperation on the control of drug smuggling, money laundering, chemical diversion, and arms trafficking; provide specialized law enforcement training, such as customs inspection and maritime interdiction; promote administration of justice reform; reduce or prevent drug abuse; develop or refine sub-regional models and curricula for drug awareness and crime prevention/antigang education; promote best practices or establish regional standards for drug treatment; mobilize communities against drug abuse and trafficking; and promote sustainable alternative development in narcotics-producing regions. It will also be used to reinforce practical, effective sub-regional cooperation, such as in Central America, the Andes, and the Caribbean, to address cross-border or spillover effects of the drug problem. Effectiveness Measurements International Organizations INL Budget ($000) FY 2001 FY 2002 FY 2003 UN International Drug Control Program (UNDCP) 9,000 10,000 7,800 OAS Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (OAS/CICAD) 2,800 6,000 5,200 Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Program1 200 — — ______ ______ ______ Total 12,000 16,000 13,000 1Funding for Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Program was moved from the International Organizations account to the Demand Reduction account beginning in FY 2002. Demand Reduction Budget Summary ($000) FY 2001 Actual FY 2002 Estimated FY 2003 Request 4,500 5,000 5,000 Objectives Justification The Demand Reduction program seeks to reduce the worldwide demand for illicit drugs by motivating foreign governments and institutions into giving increased attention to the negative effects of drug abuse on society. It is important to note that additional funding for these activities comes from other program categories within the INL budget. Demand reduction efforts aim to reduce the use and abuse of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances worldwide. The need for demand reduction is reflected in escalating drug use and abuse that takes a devastating toll on the health, welfare, security, and economic stability of all countries. Foreign countries recognize the vast U.S. experience and efforts in reducing drug demand and increasingly request technical and other assistance from the USG to address their problems. Assisting countries to reduce drug consumption helps in a small but important way to preserve the stability of that country. On the other hand, INL support for public/private sector networks (national and regional) of demand reduction programs helps facilitate support for overall USG counternarcotics policies in foreign countries. This involves the development of coalitions of private/public social institutions, the faith community, and law enforcement entities to mobilize national and international opinion against the drug trade and encourage governments to implement strong counternarcotics policies and programs. Lastly, foreign countries are collaborating with the USG on developing model research-based programs to improve the delivery of prevention/treatment services and reduce drug-related violence among youth. As a result of INL-funded training and technical assistance, host governments are engaging their own national institutions, communities, and resources to address their demand for illicit drugs. Countries in Southeast Asia continue to develop and staff their own treatment/prevention programs. In Thailand, with INL-funded training, the Department of Health established nine pilot treatment sites to treat the growing epidemic of methamphetamine users. Further, the Thai Department of Corrections instituted drug intervention programs in 75 institutions covering 2,500 drug addicted inmates daily. Governments in South America have implemented their own national-level counternarcotics media campaigns: local media advertisers and business in Chile, Venezuela and Brazil contribute between $5-18 million annually to counternarcotics media advertisements. South Africa is developing a national counternarcotics media campaign. INL has co-sponsored regional training events in Latin America, Asia, and Russia/Eastern Europe and specialized prevention projects for high-risk youth in Latin America. Youth-based drug intervention programs in Latin America that were developed from INL training have produced high retention and success rates (i.e., reintegration into society) that were the subject of a recently published study that may help improve U.S.-based programs. Finally, public/private sector demand reduction networks significantly increased membership in the Western Hemisphere to 3,000 organizations and internationally to 6,000 organizations from over 70 countries. FY 2003 Program INL-funded training will continue to strengthen host nation counternarcotics institutions so that they can conduct more effective demand reduction and public awareness programs on their own. The program will give particular attention to cocaine producing and transit countries in Latin America, address the emerging serious methamphetamine abuse problem in Southeast Asia, and address the heroin threat for Asia and Colombia. An expanded area of focus will be the Middle East and South Asia where several hundred counternarcotics programs are members of INL's global drug prevention network. INL will increase support to its sub-regional demand reduction academies in Brazil and Columbia with an aim to increase by 100 percent the number of students trained at the centers. INL will establish new regional technology transfer centers in Eastern Europe, including establishing an Eastern European Institute for Substance Abuse Prevention in the Czech Republic and an Addiction Technology Transfer Center for the Asia/Pacific region. These activities will be undertaken in collaboration with other donor countries and international organizations to reflect an emphasis on increased multilateral activities. The training and technical assistance program in FY 2003 will be designed to prevent the onset of use, to intervene at critical decision points in the lives of at-risk populations to prevent both initial use and further use, and to improve effective treatment and prevention programs. The program will expand its emphasis on the development of national, regional, and international coalitions of public/private sector organizations to strengthen international cooperation and actions against the drug trade. Programs will continue to facilitate cross-cultural, comparative research to directly benefit foreign and U.S.-based demand reduction programs. The results of this research will be a compilation of best-practices, common program elements, and lessons learned from organizations in selected countries that have developed successful demand reduction programs, both INL- and self-funded. Research will evaluate treatment and youth-gang violence best-practices studies and evaluate juvenile correctional institutions to identify drug prevention best practices programs. The findings of two countries' programs will be the basis of a first international drug prevention research study. INL will also conduct four technology transfer studies of programs developed from INL-funded training and technical assistance, and provide support for three international drug treatment best practices research studies and drug-related antiviolence best practices studies. The Demand Reduction Program budget will also support the enhancement of the abilities of host countries to build public support and strengthen the political will for implementing strong counternarcotics programs. Training will emphasize the development of national-level drug awareness campaigns that demonstrate connections between the drug trade and other concerns such as economic growth, democracy, and the environment. On the local level, training will target the establishment of effective drug awareness/education campaigns in schools and communities, including the use of the media and advertising resources. Technical assistance will support host governments' efforts to conduct and sustain drug awareness campaigns by building linkages between the corporate sector and the mass media. This assistance will result in an increase from five to seven countries that have established private-sector media partnerships for drug prevention education. The Demand Reduction Program budget request will also accommodate the increased need for training, enhance the development of international, regional, and national counternarcotics partnerships, and facilitate cross-cultural, comparative research designed to improve U.S.-based services. At the policy level, the program will focus assistance on building and strengthening national-level counternarcotics institutions with the capacity to develop comprehensive policies, programs, and strategies. At the international and regional levels, the program will enhance regional and international coalitions of NGOs developed previously, to mobilize international opinion against the drug trade, and encourage governments to develop and implement strong counternarcotics policies and programs. With INL continued support, technical assistance provided by the global /regional drug prevention networks to foreign countries will increase by 50 percent. INL funds will expand the Colombo Plan's regional networks of public/private sector demand reduction organizations, in addition to linking the Asian networks to their counterparts in Latin America and other regions. These regional and international networks will allow us to mobilize Asian and international opinion and cooperation against the drug trade, encourage governments to develop and implement strong antidrug policies and programs, and strengthen support for USG counternarcotics policies and objectives in the Asian region. At the grassroots level, the program will continue to help establish and sustain strong community partnerships and coalitions of public and private sector programs for drug prevention, expand community mobilization efforts, and create or enhance effective community- and school-based prevention programs. A goal of strong community-based partnerships is to establish demand reduction programs that address drug-related crime and violence and support national policies. Continued INL support for these coalitions will allow membership in the Western Hemisphere Drug prevention program to increase by 250 programs or individuals, and the Global Drug Prevention Network to increase by 500 the number of its affiliated programs or individual members. The demand from foreign countries for INL-sponsored technical assistance on drug prevention programming continues to increase rapidly. Membership in INL-sponsored international and regional demand reduction networks has expanded exponentially, and initial findings from INL-funded research shows potential to directly enhance U.S.-based programs. Increased funding will allow us to better mobilize international opinion and cooperation against the drug trade, encourage governments to develop and implement strong counternarcotics policies and programs, and strengthen support for USG counternarcotics policies and initiatives.

Through this funding, specialized systems that were previously not available were to be provided to meet counternarcotics mission requirements in support of surveillance, detection, eradication, interdiction and logistics. This project also allowed INL to improve the performance characteristics of existing systems to better utilize their capability, extend their useful life, and increase the effectiveness of reconnaissance, eradication and interdiction efforts. INL has contracted for engineering and modification services to modify C-26 aircraft (owned by the host governments of Barbados, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago) with a suite of surveillance sensors. To ensure effective utilization of these powerful resources, host countries must be taught the appropriate tactics, techniques, and related doctrine that will lead to a systems approach in their counternarcotics surveillance and interdiction efforts. In addition, with appropriate information management protocols in place, these host nation operations will generate surveillance information of import to the U.S. and other donor nations. As C-26 operations mature, the need for optimized sparing protocols (both airframe and sensor system) will be of increasing importance. An appropriately tailored sparing protocol could save C-26 user nations as much as 50 percent of the cost of traditional spares packages. To date, we have completed sensor upgrades for the Barbados C-26 (used by the Regional Security System or RSS) and the Colombian National Police. By the end of FY 2002, we also will have completed sensor upgrades for Trinidad and Tobago. The C-26 programs in Barbados and Colombia are already providing valuable information and results. The Barbados aircraft conducted an operation in Puerto Rico that resulted in a multi-ton seizure of cocaine from non-commercial maritime drug traffickers. The Colombian CNP C-26 program has been providing valuable signal communications information that the Colombian police and military forces have used in drug laboratory seizure and aerial eradication missions. FY 2003 Program C-26 Support Host nation aviation operations are significantly affected by their ability to fund the procurement of spares and general operating and maintenance expenses. It is, however, one of the fundamental tools that can be applied in an effort to reduce capital expenditures and recurring costs associated with spares replenishment and associated logistics. For FY 2003, INL will support C-26 programs in Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico and Peru and for the Colombia National Police. Program support will include training of sensor operators and pilots, contract logistical support, and provision of spare parts and maintenance. Airborne Surveillance Initiative One of the critical shortfalls in the current counternarcotics operational structure overseas is the lack of host government surveillance, detection, and monitoring capability. Traffickers operate with near impunity as they violate border integrity while transporting a variety of forms of contraband. Customs laws have been meaningless as air, land and maritime traffickers choose arrival points at their discretion. In short, many nations lack the fundamental means of assuring their own sovereignty. INL will continue to modify C-26 aircraft with surveillance systems and train host nation forces to utilize this technology in a manner that benefits domestic, international and U.S. counternarcotics objectives. Training will include the disciplines of data management and analysis and will strongly promote the development and implementation of information sharing protocols across host nation interagency and regional counternarcotics communities. A systems approach to maritime- and land-based surveillance operations will emphasize the requirement for effective coordination between strategic and tactical airborne surveillance units as well as those directly involved in ground-based interdiction activities. INL will take advantage of contractor, U.S. military, and other law enforcement expertise to provide the international C-26 community with the tools to effectively prosecute their drug law enforcement missions. OV-10 Refurbishment/A-10 Testing INL received 22 OV-10D aircraft previously used by DOD that increased capabilities for conducting massive coca and opium aerial eradication campaigns throughout Latin America. The employment of these additional U.S.-owned aircraft, equipped with armored cockpits and twin engines, has increased speed, range, pilot safety and herbicide-carrying capacity, compared to the existing T-65 aircraft. The OV-10 refurbishment program will allow for major modification of these airframes to reduce weight and modernize electrical, avionics, cockpit configuration, and special mission equipment to take full advantage of the aircrafts' capability and extend their useful life. Aircraft so modified will have full day and night eradication capability. In connection with the OV-10 program, INL intends to conduct testing to determine the feasibility of using excess A-10 aircraft as the next generation spray platform. Successful testing could lead to the eventual employment of these aircraft as spray planes with dramatically increased range, speed, payload and pilot protection. Effectiveness Measures Program Development and Support Budget Summary ($000)1 FY 2001 Actual FY 2002 Estimated FY 2003 Request 12,187 13,703 14,563 1 The FY 2003 Program Development and Support total includes $ 0.713 million for full funding of federal employee retirement costs. The comparable amounts for FY 2002 ($ 0.703 million) and FY 2001 ($ 0.687 million) are included in those totals. Objectives Justification The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is charged with developing strategies and programs to achieve international counternarcotics and criminal justice foreign policy objectives. INL maintains a cadre of both domestic and overseas program and technical experts to carry out a wide range of initiatives. Washington personnel functions include, but are not limited to: international narcotics control and law enforcement policy formulation and implementation; coordination of policies and programs with other USG agencies and with other governments and international organizations; budget and financial management activities; program administration and analysis including development, implementation, oversight and evaluation of overseas programs; contract, procurement and information systems support; field assistance visits to Embassy Narcotics Affairs Sections and Law Enforcement Sections to review, analyze and make recommendations on programs, funds control and procurement; sponsoring regional policy and program management conferences and seminars; and, developing and providing training programs both domestically and overseas for embassy and INL personnel. The Program Development and Support (PD&S) account funds the domestic administrative operating costs associated with the Washington-based INL staff. Over three-quarters of the PD&S budget request is programmed for salaries and benefits of U.S. Direct Hire (USDH) employees, personal services contracts, rehired annuitants and reimbursable support personnel. Currently, INL funds support 119 USDH and 23 other INL personnel based in Washington, D.C. Eleven additional domestic positions support the Interregional Aviation Support program, but are funded from the Interregional Aviation Support account. It should be noted that ten positions in the INL Office of Anticrime Programs are funded from the Department of State D&CP account. Field travel for the INL personnel based in Washington is funded from the PD&S account. This is an essential component of the bureau's program, needed for program development, implementation, oversight and review, as well as for the advancement of international counternarcotics and criminal justice foreign policy objectives. PD&S funds are utilized to maintain a reliable and secure information resource management system and operating infrastructure to enable bureau employees to pursue policy objectives and complete work requirements effectively and efficiently. In addition, funding for the following expenses ensure an adequate level of administrative support to allow the bureau to function effectively: office equipment rental, telephone services, printing and reproduction, miscellaneous contractual services (Information Management non-personal services contractor personnel, INL office renovation expenses, etc.), materials, supplies, furniture, furnishings and equipment. FY 2003 Program The PD&S budget request for FY 2003 will cover the annual, government-wide cost of living increase, in-grade step increases and promotions that occur during that fiscal year. It will also cover the annualized portion of wage increase for positions that INL plans to fill during FY 2002 to improve program oversight and expanded programs. An additional $ .713 million is included in this request for full funding of federal retiree costs. Higher costs resulting from inflation for field travel and transportation costs; equipment rentals, communications and utility expenses; printing and reproduction; miscellaneous contractual services; and furniture, furnishings and equipment have been factored into the FY 2003 budget request.

It works real good. I had a Stir Crazy. It worked good but was a hassle to clean. This one makes about the same amount of popcorn, but it is shaped better to wash. What I really like is the part that stirs can be washed in the sink. Can't do that with the Stir Crazy.
The heating plate clips break super easily and you have to buy a new heating plate (almost the cost of the entire popper) to get replacement clips. Buy a different brand.
I bought my popcorn popper about 2 years ago. It's the best popcorn popper I've ever had and I love it! I use it almost every week, sometimes twice a week. I don't understand the other review that complains you have to stand by it the WHOLE time (which you should be watching anything your cooking outside the oven!). You have to just listen for the popping to slow down and then turn it off. It makes great popcorn, in my opinion, and most all the kernels pop (which may have to do with the popcorn itself, I don't know). I must say that the outside carriage around the hot plate cracked but we put a zip tie around it and it works fine. This happened not too long after we got it but it hasn't affected how it works. When something happens to this one I will certainly purchase another one. It's very easy to clean
I really appreciate the on-off button - many popcorn makers don't have that. Also - the removal plate is great for cleaning - perfect! Plus - you don't have to use very much oil - what a tasty & healthy snack!
This is the best popcorn popper I've ever used. With just 2 tbs oil you can get a whole huge bowl of popcorn. And you can add salt that will stick, unlike those air pop machines. This is great for people on a diet who dont want to give up popcorn. I am a little discouraged that the heating element became dystunctional after maybe 60 uses. It was just about as expensive to buy the replacement part as it was to buy a new one, so I found the cheapest price on the net at Overstock, and now I'm back to making my favorite snack.
I purchased this popcorn maker at a high-end kitchen supply store. I now know why it was on sale. My FIRST COMPLAINT upon getting the machine home was that it would not make unbuttered/oiled popcorn. We got past that first minor flaw relatively quickly by using olive oil on our popcorn. The first few times I used this popper, it produced good popcorn. However, my SECOND COMPLAINT was that you must stand next to the machine the entire time it's popping, and immediately remove the popped corn from the heating element, which is on the bottom, or it will burn quickly. There is no auto-shutoff or automatic cooling feature for the heat source. My THIRD COMPLAINT arose when I tried to clean the machine. The oil is not sealed in the popping chamber, so it leaks into the motor during popping, heats up, then becomes "cooked" onto the base. It's like trying to clean off layers of baked-on butter or cooking spray from baking pans -- laborious, at best, and I found, virtually impossible. My FOURTH COMPLAINT is with the butter melting compartment on the top of the plastic bowl. (Refer to fifth complaint below for negative description of placement.) As the popcorn is popping, it can dislodge the butter compartment, and create a hole where popped corn can fall out, or in some cases, come flying out of the unit. It also is not intuitive how to accurately measure salt, which is supposed to gradually shake into the popping corn via holes in the bottom of its chamber. The compartment is deceptively larger than you think, and there are no markers for measuring "1/4 teaspoon," "1/2 teaspoon," etc. I ended up with way, way too much, and the salt mostly fell in a few clumps at the beginning of the popping process instead of distributing throughout the popping time. My FIFTH COMPLAINT is with the popping chamber-turned-popped corn bowl. Because of where the butter melting and salt distribution cup is on the lid, you have to remember to remove this before replacing the separate lid and then turning over the unit to empty the popped corn into the now-created bowl. That sounds easy enough, but when you have burned your popcorn once or twice because it sat completely popped for a few too many seconds on the hot base -- and everyone knows the smell of burnt popcorn does not quickly dissipate -- you start getting a little hasty about completing the process of getting the fully popped corn off the heat unit as fast as possible. Even with some experience at this, I still managed to end up with popped corn dumped all over the place, and a sticky butter and salt chamber flying out because I forgot about the separate lid. And as if all that wasn't enough, my SIXTH AND FINAL COMPLAINT is that after a brief three (?) of weeks of usage (maybe every other day of popping, at most), the switch on the front of the unit broke, rendering the machine useless. Naturally, I didn't save the receipt, so the high-end chain kitchen store would not refund or replace the product. Buyer beware.
Got this for my dad, a die hard stir crazy popcorn popper man. I have even gone as far as looking in charity shops to replace his old one over the years. He just loves this one and says it pops even better, much easyer to clean and store. He once again can enjoy the evening bowl of popcorn. Every thing I have ever order has been top notch and delivery great too. Thank you overstock

As one of the authors of several major pieces of Python, my comment is that whilst it provides great convenience and good code structure .. dynamic typing just doesn't scale. The big problem using Ocaml (bytecode) for scripting is probably the ugly dynamic loading support, and for long running systems, the lack of unloading support.

Retail report: Selfridges ramps up its luxury ready-to-wear with a nod to Dover Street Market
It feels like Selfridges has been tweaking its third floor Designer Galleries for ever! Finally its finished and the verdict is quite the A-Z of modern luxury fashion. In short, the Selfridges buy has been Dover Street Market-ified. (And that sentence right there gets the award for clunkiest sentence of the year. Soz.) I still remember the third floor as it was eons ago – contemporary labels like Anglomania alongside A.P.C, Whistles and Joseph. Pffft, this is so not that. Contemporary and denim have all been shunted up to the fourth floor, leaving gleaming aisles of expensive statement-wear. Of course, I can't actually afford any of it.
It's a textbook exercise in taste and wealth though. Continue reading
London Fashion Week SS15 highlights: Day 2
London designers are known for their youthful experimentation but they've becoming equally adept at delivering polished wearability. Day two's highlights included Lucas Nascimento's sheer, precision-cut layers (above and below), Joseph's serene sportswear and Whistles' luxe leather separates.
Even J.W Anderson surprised with extreme commerciality on his catwalk (combined with clever creativity of course), giving us that spring perennial 'nautical chic' his way, involving strategic cut-outs and rope details all accessorised with fetishy floppy leather hats. Continue reading
A decade of Dover Street Market
Oh, what a busy year it's proving to be for London's Dover Street Market. This month marks its tenth year and to celebrate it's doing what it does best, collaborating with its fashion friends to create more retail excitement than ever.
Let's not forget, when Dover Street Market opened in 2004 it was the first store of its kind, a weird and wonderful melange of mega-brands, just-emerging designers and street wear – ever changing and always unpredictable. Twice a year it operates its 'tachiagari', shutting up shop for three days while it installs a completely new vision for the new season.
This year, following its tachiagari in July, it's shaken things up again by adding a scattering of 'market stalls' (complete with striped awnings) selling DSM souvenirs to delight the store's avid retail tourists. Continue reading
What to steal from the menswear shows: Loewe SS15
Jonathan Anderson's new-look Loewe has has rave reviews so far, with its reworked logo, ad campaign and SS15 menswear all giddily received by the critics. For spring-summer 2015, Anderson's inspiration came from pre-rave Ibiza references so it's heavy on rustic-looking but luxurious fabrics and simple, bohemian shapes (given Anderson's ultra-modern ambi-sexual treatment).
My standouts are the suede polo shirts, nappa biker jackets, soft suitcases and 'Meccano' Oxford shoes (which are on the site now). And I'm totally tying my scarves like this from now on…

J.W.Anderson 2.0
It's all go at J W Anderson. Jonathan Anderson's new London HQ is up and running, complete with shiny new CEO. Stratgies are in place to launch an ecommerce website (due 16th June) that represents this very millennial luxury brand, while a pricing structure is also in place to appeal to its equally millennial customer (my understanding is that prices will come down slightly).

Buy it now: J.W. Anderson for Topshop
As you may have noticed, I'm quite fascinated by the growing commercialisation of Fashion Week. More than anyone, Topshop has been instrumental in making Fashion Week accessible to all, via its sponsorships and collabs with LFW designers, it's unsurpassed social media LFW coverage, its just announced Facebook hook-up and most recently, its pop-up shops at the LFW sites.

Buy it now: Autumn drops
Sad but true: I have the heating on in July. Retailers are taking advantage by pumping out their early fall merchandise – jumpers, jackets and coats – to compensate for the lack of summer pick-up. You can't blame them, winterwear makes more money than summer because knits cost thrice as much as tees. Ah well, here's my early fall fantasy shopping list…
TOP: J W Anderson top, £360; Maison Martin Margiela jacket, £599; Christian Louboutin shoes, £495
MIDDLE: Chloe sweater, £575; Balenciaga skirt, £419; Acne jacket, £850
BOTTOM: A.P.C. blouse, £165; Chloe boots, £743; Isabel Marant sweater, £265

Why do they dress that way?
Day 3: London Collections: Men SS13
My last day of men's fashion week was a short one as I only had two shows. JW Anderson was as unexpected as expected – a medley of flat-coloured knits, asymmetric coats and clingy jerseys, contrasted with roomy pinstripe tailoring and Jonathan's favourite chunky-soled shoes. As always, there was a play on gender conventions, so we had sheer applique separates and skewed headscarves added to the mix. Definitely one of the most memorable collections of the weekend

In Chapter 2, we discuss what we think to be the most critical drivers for census planning and research: the balance between census cost and census quality. In Chapter 3, we offer a critique of the Census Bureau's current strategies for research, experimentation, and testing—in contrast with the Bureau's legacy of past research—before suggesting general directions for research in the 2010–2020 period. We also conclude that more formal, structural changes in the Census Bureau's organization for research are critical for success and elaborate those structural recommendations in Chapter 4. Two appendices to the report describe past and present Census Bureau research programs in detail; Appendix A describes the research, testing, and evaluation programs that preceded and were conducted in line with the 1950–2010 censuses, and Appendix B summarizes what we know about the 2010 CPEX program.

What's new?
This website was last updated on 24 April 2015. The irises and peonies are just coming into flower after this recent run of amazing clear sunny weather. 2014 was a busy rental season at Casa Nova. Many thanks to those of you who have holidayed here for your very positive reviews. What's more Casa Nova is a perfect party venue! To check availability of Casa dell'Ortolano (the Garden House) or Il Casale (the Farm House) and to see prices, click here. The new herbaceous borders around the main farmhouse were a riot of colour all summer and into the autumn. See here for a medley of our latest pics, including aerial photos! We have been pushing on over the past year with our current agricultural projects (planting olives, additional orchards and, in due course, when our stock plants have multiplied, a specialist plant nursery). To check out the weather at Casa Nova today see the widget at the bottom of this page.

Party at sea: Why every cruise line will soon have an "all-you-can-drink" alcohol policy
Nov 15, 2012 7:57 am
Skift Take
Norwegian is the fourth cruise line to test the packages, meaning its only a matter of time before the partiers don't choose an operator based on the presence of a package, but its prices and options.
Add Norwegian Cruise Line to the list of major cruise operators testing "all-you-can-drink" alcohol packages.
The Miami-based company has begun offering what it is calling an all-inclusive drinks package on three of its 11 ships…at $49 per person per day plus gratuity.
Norwegian is following in the footsteps of industry giant Carnival, which has been testing an unlimited drinks package on a handful of ships since August.
