Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Invitation.
We are very pleased with the Classic Allure invitation. It's exactly what my daughter was looking for. We loved being able to customize it to my daughter's wedding colors.
I am very happy with my decision to go with Magnet Street for my wedding invitations. I love the design and found Magnet Street to have exceptional customer service, especially when customizing designs. My invitations arrived very quickly and I couldn't be happier with the end product. We decided on the Classic Allure design for our invitations. The invitations are classic (as in the name!), with a very elegant design.
Love our invitations!
The primary reason I chose MagnetStreet was for the level of personalization we were able to get. I got exactly the colors I wanted, and the online editor showed us the exact product that we ended up receiving. The only problem I had with the online personalization and design was that the designer was not able to edit an image I sent them the exact way I wanted them to, but I ended up finding a different solution. Other than that, the product we receive turned out BEAUTIFUL and it was everything I had hoped for! Even the envelopes we received were outstanding!
These save the dates are very elegant and simple. There's many colors to choose from and different ways to change up the background and floral design color of your choice.
Absolutely Stunning
Wow!! For the price I paid I was not expecting such outstanding quality! This was for my Save the Dates!..we will be back for formal invitation

Portugal have produced the biggest win in the 2010 World Cup to date, demolishing North Korea 7-0 in Cape Town.
Group G
Portugal: 7 (Raul Meireles 29', Simao 53', Hugo Almeida 56', Tiago 60', 88', Liedson 81', Cristiano Ronaldo 87')
Korea DPR: 0
Venue: Green Point Stadium – Cape Town
Crowd: 63,644
Referee: Pablo Pozo (CHI)
Yellow cards: POR - Pedro Mendes 38', Hugo Almeida 70'
PRK - Pak Chol-Jin 32', Hong Yong-Jo 47'
After an early Ricardo Carvalho header slammed into the post, Portugal were controlling the ball in midfield but North Korea almost took the lead in the 21st minute when skipper Hong Jong-Yo flashed in a shot from the right which was beaten away by Eduardo and unfortunately for the Asians, Pak Nam-Chol's follow up header went wide of the mark.
The rain was falling heavily in Cape Town and there were a few passes going askew but Tiago managed a perfectly weighted pass to Raul Meireles inside the area who made no mistake and slotted it past Ri Myong-Guk to make it 1-0 in the 29th minute but there were few other chances in the opening term which ended with that scoreline.
Portugal kicked into gear in the early stages of the second half with some sublime ball movement and it created their second goal in the 53rd minute when Hugo Almeida flicked a smart backheel to Meireles on the edge of the area who cut out a pass to Simao who was all by himself and he required just one touch to send it between the legs of Ri Myong-Guk.
Minutes later, there was a third goal, this time scored by Almeida who easily sent home an unmarked header from a Fabio Coentrao cross from the left flank. Portugal were undeniably on top and dominating the North Koreans who were forced to make a double change in the 58th minute.
The substitutions didn't help as Portugal netted a fourth on the hour-mark when Cristiano Ronaldo set up Tiago from the left flank and the Atletico Madrid man flashed it home from the top of the penalty area giving Ri little chance to make a save.
Carlos Queiroz's men could smell blood and wanted more goals as Ronaldo was supplying plenty of sweet treats for his teammates and he even tried his luck from way outside the area but the crossbar was there to deny him.
In the 81st minute, substitute Liedson was handed a gift when North Korean defender Ri Kwang-Chon made a costly error and the Portugal striker pounced from close range to make it 5-0 and finally, in the dying moments, Ronaldo got his first international goal in two years when he skipped pat the North Korean keeper to slot home.
A minute later, Tiago grabbed his second when he headed home to give his nation their best result in a World Cup, surpassing the 4-0 win over Poland in 2002.

Although your body has a strong 'fight -or-flight' response to tackle acute stress, it cannot help you much in chronic stress. We all get stressed due to our busy lifestyle. Yet only few of us realize it or to be specific, accept it. Chronic stress occurs when people start denying that fact that they are stressed. Some people have a strong convincing mind that helps them to deny their stressful situation. Others are smart and are good at hiding their stress symptoms from other as well as themselves.
While you might keep saying 'I am absolutely alright' to everybody else you know, you should be able to recognize the signs of stress before it takes a toll on your health.
1. Weight gain: Yeah! If you don't want to put on extra kilos, just lead a stress-free life. High levels of stress hormones cause excess fat deposition irrespective of whether you're thin or fat. Also, a few people tend to overeat under stressful situations which cause the body to store more calories instead of burning them. Refer to our mega guide on weight loss.
2. Muscle tension: Hormones released during stress not only raise your blood pressure and heart rate but also cause your muscles to tighten up. Common muscle pain due to incorrect posture at work can worsen if you are stressed. Here are 10 effective tips to prevent back pain. Read more about what could muscle pain indicate.
3. Stomach ache: Butterflies or jitters in the stomach are not just a feeling of excitement or nervousness; they're a classic symptom of stress. Studies have shown a close connection between the stomach and the brain. As per a report published by Harvard Medical School, if you suffer from gastro-related disorders like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or acidity then your symptoms may worsen due to stress.
4. Hair fall: Chronic stress also causes sex hormones (androgens) to release. These hormones can interfere with your hair follicles causing temporary hair fall. This effect can last for anywhere between 3-6 months after a chronic stressful event. Here are some diet tips to control hair fall and some home remedies for hair fall.
5. Forgetfulness: If you just can't remember to perform a few daily tasks at work (that otherwise you would never forget) then you are definitely stressed. Cortisol, a hormone released during chronic stress can cause the hippocampus (part of the brain that controls short-term memory) to shrink which interferes with your brain's capacity to remember things. Target the root cause of your stress and you'll get your memory back. Read more about how resting the brain can boost your memory.
6. Menstrual problems: In women, stress plays a major role in repressing hormonal control of the pituitary gland (which controls the hormones released by ovaries, thyroid and adrenal gland). This affects the regular menstrual cycle, ovulation and other reproductive functions in women.
7. Eye lid twitching: Eye lid twitching and stress are closely linked, although the exact connection is not established. Next time your eye lid starts flickering just close your eyes, drive away all thoughts from your mind, take a deep breath and relax. Repeat this couple of times and you eye lid will stop flickering instantly. Here are some tips to get rid of constant eyelid twitching.
8. Acne: Chronic stress affects almost the entire system. Your skin is no exception to that. High levels of androgens can cause sudden breakouts on the skin. Plus, when you're stressed, the body's healing ability is also altered to a great extent so most likely those pimples won't go away unless you relax completely. Refer to our mega guide on acne causes, treatment, medication and home remedies.
9. Sleep disorders: Under stress, you mind is full of thoughts. Your brain tends to speed up the thinking process which interferes with sleep causing sleep disorders. Here are 7 useful tips to improve sleep.
10. Disturbed sex life: Personal and work-related stress is a huge barrier to satisfying sex life. Stress hormones interfere with other hormones that control sex drive (libido) sin humans. Try these yoga poses to reduce stress.

Buying a Mac vs. PC
Ok.... I've always had a mac computer and now I need a new one. My ibook G4 is way outdated and I can't download alot of apps because it's not intel. So.... Mac or PC?? Please give me some pros and cons on this. I don't do any graphics. My neighbor says, "oh get a PC if you don't do any graphics." I do email, a couple of facebook games, message boards and research.
The only thing I know of is that macs don't get viruses like PC's can. What else??
Thanks for some help and tips...
|Jul 29, 2012, 07:52 PM
Well, I'm guessing you've had your iBook for a while now, so you're probably used to the UI of OS X. I used to use PCs when I was a kid and then we got a Mac back in 2007. We've had Windows on our 2009 iMac since we got it brand new because my brother plays games on there, but I hadn't used it until a few weeks ago. I was sooooo lost. Nothing made sense to me and I just got frustrated and gave up on what I was trying to do (I was trying to clear up some hard drive space). I could re-learn how to do more in Windows than open applications, but I don't see the point in my case (no reason to). To me, the OS X UI is just a lot more logical and easier to use. In my experience, Macs last longer too. Our family got an original Bondi Blue iMac with Mac OS 9. We then replaced it with a PC tower. Two towers in four years later (video card fried and then the motherboard fried), we went back to Mac in 2007 and got a MacBook. The MacBook, BB iMac, and our 2009 iMac are all running great and never gave us trouble A Mac is definitely worth it in the end even for basic computing because you'll end up just frustrating yourself with a PC. Be happy and get a Mac

1. Macs are optimized so that the hardware and software work well together.
2. A Mac can run Windows if you decide you need it at some point.
3. It will most likely last longer.
4. You already know the Mac OS.
5. Does not get infected by PC viruses
6. Better build quality
7. You can get a 5 year-old Mac that will still work the way it should.
8. There are retail stores where you can buy it and get it serviced.
1. Initial price is higher than a PC especially when performing those simple tasks.
2. Is susceptible to trojans.(just like the PC world)
3. no blu-ray support
4. No built-in media server capability like Windows Media Player and requires additional hardware to stream media.(but there are third-party alternatives)

Buy the PC.
You obviously aren't using GPU or CPU intensive programs, and so why drop $1500 dollars on an overpriced piece of aluminium that doesn't even have that great specs?
If you do not care about specs, then you'll be able to purchase a perfectly fine PC for much, much less than a Mac. Windows 8 is much faster than previous versions of Windows, and unless you fall for chain emails you'll never contract a virus.
If you too, like so many others, are under the impression that Mac OS X is the most powerful OS (or the simplest - I have no idea how to use it) then you should do some research.
Mac OS X is UNIX based, and written from FreeBSD, which is a Linus Distro. In English, this means the core code of a Mac is quite old and was not even written by Apple programmers.
Mac OS X is simply Linux with a fancy UI.

For me, buy computers is a user experience thing. Macs seem to nail that a lot better than PC's (which I use exclusively at work). Even for day to day task like web browsing and so on, Macs just seem to suite my needs better.
I recommend them to all my family and friends. Albeit the price is a deterrent, but to me its worth it.

Another reason I like OSX besides what has been mentioned (and I work on both platforms daily) is that there is very little maintenance. For the most part, it just gets out of my way and allow me to spend less time on the computer.
|Nov 25, 2012, 09:10 PM
Just out of curiosity, what's this "maintenance" everyone keeps talking about? All I do with Windows after I first install it is reboot it roughly every month or two when a big patch comes down the line.
...which admittedly, you don't have to do with OSX. But comeon, it's every 30-60 days.
|Nov 25, 2012, 09:51 PM
I'd suggest YOU do some research and discover just how wrong you are.
You may as well say Windows 8 is DOS based, and DOS is old because that's about how accurate your comparison to "Linus distro" is of OS X.

ive got a macpro tower and have loved it since 2008 but when it comes to change im going back to a PC
Im going to build my own with the components i want. Im sick of Apple imposing limitations on us, PC's have usb 3, thunderbolt, sata 3, pci 3, higher memory capacities, the list goes on.
I can build a system for half the price of a macpro tower that will destroy it performance wise and at the end of the day a pretty UI isnt what gets the work done.
The graphics options that are available for a windows pc leave the macpro in the dark ages and the Imac, especially the new one is just too limited for me and i dont like my computers to be all in ones.
Windows 7 and 8 are just as stable as macos.
I use photoshop cs6 and lightroom 4 for my photography business and Adobe CS6 runs faster on PC's now than it does on mac.
Apple are more interested in the iphone and ipad sales now than the computers and i dont like the way they are going.
|Nov 26, 2012, 03:34 AM
If money isn't that much of a problem, ALWAYS get a mac. ALWAYS.
Most models are very price-competitive to other high end computers, and are just better. (build quality, OS, trackpad especially (makes all the difference), weight, battery life, performance (same specs and the mac is faster)).
A macbook air would be perfect for you.
I'm just a fan of Apple products and the company in itself, as long as they keep following the path of awesomeness.

Plus, Windows tend to fragment the files on the disk, which over time causes a dramatic performance impact, slowing down your computer up to the point where it becomes nearly unusable. To solve this, you need to defragment your disk, something that can take several hours - if not an entire day - depending on your HD's speed.
These are things that don't happen within the OS X - well, AV scans may still be necessary if you are concerned about not spreading PC viruses, but that's your option. There may be more, but I must confess I'm new to the Mac World - just got my hands on my first MBP 13'' a couple months ago - so I don't know if there are more things that the ones I mentioned.
Still, these 2 issues are so much time consuming that I'm happy just by not having to worry about them anymore. Even if I had to pay 2x the price for the hardware, it's worth every cent.
|Nov 26, 2012, 08:10 AM
Man, I haven't had to run a defrag since upgrading to 7 about 4 years ago. Officially you still have to run it , but with modern Windows, it's all handled behind the scenes while your computer is idling. If you never turn your comp off, just let it drop to sleep after a certain amount of time like I do, you'll never once have to worry about it.
And virus scans? I might fire one up when I run across something really suspicious just to make sure I don't have anything, but usually it's a 2-3 times a year affair for me. I don't think I've caught a virus since I was using Windows 98.
Really, I can think of a number of reasons why someone would prefer OSX over Windows, but the fiddly maintenance stuff wouldn't be one of them. That aspect of Windows has been all but marginalized. For me, it all comes down to running CCleaner for 10 minutes every other month, or doing an almost annual virus scan.
...though admittedly, so people do seem to be luckier than others.

I run windows on bootcamp for gaming, and the experience of installing steam was a pain. It's little things like this that kinda remind me why I moved to Mac after 20 years on windows.

Systemcare? What the hell's that?
AVG? That's your fault for using it. I used Avast before going to MSE, and it never gave me problems. I rarely ever feel the need to do virus scans anyway, and haven't caught one in about forever...despite not regularly practicing what most people would call "safe" computer usage.
Patch updates? All done in the background on a scheduled basis, completely hands free, and totally unnoticed. Only 1 in 50 or so requires a reboot. It's a rare thing, and I can easily keep Windows up and running for 45 days at least.
Craploads of stuff loading at startup? Quit installing junk programs that do nothing but sit on the notification area eating resources. And hell, even if you do let a few slip by, it only takes 10 seconds to tell Windows not to let it boot at startup. I've got, like, two apps that load when I boot my machine.
And what was so hard about installing Steam? It's true that installing programs isn't quite as elegant as OSX's drag and drop setup, but it isn't like setting an installation folder and hitting next twice is a harrowing experience.
Like I said above, there are plenty of reasons to prefer OSX over Windows. It is overall a less fiddly experience. But that doesn't mean you have to over exaggerate to get your point across.
edit: Here's some proof. I'm running Windows 8, which is getting new-OS constant updates. Haven't had to reboot it in 9 days 4 hours. And I'm running it on my older machine which I've had for about 5-6 years now.

Good to know that Win 7 helps with defrag process, but it still requires the computer to be 'idle', meaning it must be left on while no one uses it for a while. I wonder what happens if someone comes in during this time and starts using the PC... More importantly, if the computer is always in use while one, this won't help - and yes, my family does that, that's why I bought a Mac for myself.
Anyway, there is no main reason why one should pick OS X over Windows nowadays. In fact, Apple fought very hard to create an environment that was close enough to Windows so that people could migrate. To me, though there are some differences, they basically offer the same services - web surfing, documents editions, e-mail, calendar, etc. They just do it in different ways.
If you look more for things like price, compatibility, and hardware, and less for stability, reliability, security and beauty, go for a Windows solution. Otherwise pick a Mac - you'll be happier.
|Nov 26, 2012, 10:08 AM
Which is the one thing I drilled into my family's head when they got a computer. If you get a popup for free games, a weird warning saying you're infected with 50,000,000,000 viruses, or has some funny purple monkey that says it'll dance for you on your desktop...DON'T TRUST IT! It will **** you over and steal your credit cards, and you'll have to spend your golden years homeless and busking for change at the bus stop.
Yeah, I kinda went a little overboard with the paranoia there, but it worked. I rarely ever have to deal with mom and dad screwing up their computer. Everything they do these days is done either through webapps I've shown them, or official programs from trusted companies. They're about out of my hair.
But really, anyone with a bit of knowledge can go either/or and be perfectly happy. I might be moving up to OSX myself in the near future. It's not because Windows is bugging me, but rather because those new iMacs are really, really nice and powerful. Having an actual desktop class AIO with an actually decent graphics card is too tempting to pass up. I won't have to manage wires and crap. It'll be great.

I stuck with AVG because all my years on windows, it was the only antivirus software that was actually of use. I once had a very bad virus outbreak on my PC, and reformatting did nothing (the problem came back everytime I tried to access the internet after reinstalling windows. Ran AVG from a thumbdrive downloaded from a friend's PC, located the culprit, problem solved in minutes. No other software could find or do anything).
Advanced systemcare - use it to periodically remove stray registry stuff and keep things in running condition.
Playing a computer game in windows one moment (using around 20% of cpu and ram), tabbed over to chrome to look up a walkthrough, cpu suddenly spikes to 100% and freezes my entire mac, mandating a reboot.
Maybe I am overexxagerating, but when you are using windows and osx side-by-side, it is the little minor things that stand out even more.

Firewall problems, getting bugs when you first fire up the internet...
...yeah, XP kinda sucked. :P
|Nov 26, 2012, 11:20 AM
I use MSE on my virtualbox installs of Win 7 and XP. It works well enough to prevent my virtual windows boxes from catching a virus. I would never consider going back to a windows box for everyday use. Part of the reason is the miserable experience I have with win 7 on my work pc. I get to look at that black screen with the "start windows normally?" question more than 4 times a week. Back when I ran XP at home, I used avg and liked it. It used to nag me once a year to "register" but all that required was a valid email address. I also used Avast. But it isn't just my lousy experience with IT at work that makes me hate Windows. It's something that I consider an inalienable right that MS has somehow lost sight of that really set me against Windows...
When I think about what brought me to Windows in the first place, it was the ability to print. Lotus 123 with wysiwyg worked poorly and wordperfect was a crap shoot. Word and Excel for Windows and later MS Office 97 offered the ability to get pretty much exactly what I expected pretty much every time. Fast forward 10 years and I found I had once again lost the ability to always print. The culprit: "Windows" printers which offloaded page rendering to the computer OS so the printer could be sold for $49. Most of these printers and their drivers are junk, especially the ones from HP. I once had HP support tell me to try installing a 700 Meg driver over and over until I "got lucky." Meanwhile the driver for the same printer on OSX was only 30 Meg and always worked. So I switched to Mac.
I've had no problems printing since switching to OSX. None, that is until I installed a win xp virtualbox and it somehow locked up one of our brother network printers. Daily to weekly problems printing (on Windows) followed by several years of no problems printing (on OSX) and the first printing problem I've had in over 40 months occurs when... I install Windows on a virtualbox. If I were picking up a computer today, you would have to pay me to accept a Windows box.

When driving for an hour or so on the highway the Jeep engine stalls out and cannot be started for a bit. Repair are without a clue.
2010 Jeep Patriot Problem Reports
Newest 2010 Jeep Patriot Problem Reports
A no crank or no start condition may develop due to electronic lockup of the wireless control module (WCM), also referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). When this module fails the remote keyless entry system will also not operate. The WCM is commonly replaced to correct this concern.
A rattle type noise may be noted from the AC compressor or the compressor could be damaged due to "slugging" of the refrigerant. The compressor may require replacement to correct this concern. If the compressor is replaced an updated condenser may also be required.
An abnormal noise and/or vibration may be noted from the front brakes during light braking. Our technicians tell us it may be necessary to replace the steering knuckle and hub assembly, along with resurfacing the rotors to correct this concern.
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions may become difficult to shift. The repair may involve replacing the 3rd/4th/5ht & reverse gear synchronizer rings as a set.
An engine overheating condition may develop due to a coolant flow issue. Our technicians tell us that debris may block the cylinder head coolant port at the primary thermostat housing. Removing the debris should correct this concern.
Water leaks may be noted from the front and/or rear roof area. Our technicians recommend to inspect the roof ditch and sunroof - Check all grommets and plugs, reseal roof seams, and replace the sunroof drain tubes if necessary.
Front wheel drive vehicles may develop a fuel gauge fluctuation issue. Our technicians tell us that replacing the fuel sending unit, clocking the fuel module, and installing a fuel jumper hose may be required to correct this concern.

The Madras High Court on Wednesday said that during the period of currency of a minor punishment, a government employee cannot claim as a matter of right to be promoted to the next category merely on the basis that he is otherwise fit for promotion.
In its common judgment on a batch of writ appeals, challenging an order of the Madurai Bench of the High Court dated November 18, 2009, a Full Bench comprising Chief Justice M.Y.Eqbal and Justices P.Jyothimani and T.S.Sivagnanam, said it was needless to state that after the currency of the punishment period, a government servant was entitled to be considered for promotion, if otherwise eligible.
Originally, a writ petition was filed challenging government orders denying promotion during pendency of punishment such as stoppage of increments for minor offences under Rule 8 of the Tamil Nadu Civil Servants (Discipline and Appeal Rules). A Division Bench allowed the petition. Challenging this order, the government preferred an appeal. As a large number of similar cases were pending before the High Court's Principal Seat and its Madurai Bench, all the matters were placed before the Full Bench.
The Bench held that the detailed instructions issued by the government in the order on October 18, 1993 could not be equated to the statutory rules framed under Article 309 of the Constitution and it could utmost be administrative instructions issued under Article 162 of the Constitution. In any event, the G.O. did not deal with the case of promotion of a government servant during the currency of punishment.
The letters of the Personnel and Administrative Department dated October 7, 2005 and October 20, 1997 were not statutory rules framed under proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution and could not be read either with the Tamil Nadu Government Servants Conduct rules or under the Tamil Nadu Civil Service (Disciplinary and Appeal) Rules. Consequently, the embargo put on the right of government servants for being considered for promotion for a further period, after the period of minor punishment was over, in the name of 'check period' viz. one year in the case of censure and five years in the case other than minor punishment was illegal and impermissible under the statutory rules, the Full Bench held.

Continuing on, I passed by Schloss Neuschawnstein in the Bavarian Alps. It was a hazy day but you can easily see how this was the inspiration for Cinderella's castle.
I crossed into Austria and made my way to Innsbruck for the evening. I only knew this town from hosting the winter Olympics when I was a kid, but MAN! what beautiful place. I still haven't made it to Vienna, but since I was in Austria, I dined on Wiener Schnitzel and beer....it was good. Here's a shot of the famous Golden Roof of the Ducal palace with the Alps in the background.
The next day gets interesting.
As I got into Alps to cross into Italy, my favorite riding finally began. Here's a shot of the pass heading down into Italy. HeeHeeHee...............................
Passing though Riva on my though Trento, I had my "incident". While I don't claim to be blameless, my insurance company insists that I am. I won't tell the entire story because...frankly..it is my best motorcycling story and really needs the Italian accents to make it work...many of you have heard it. Suffice it to say that another motorcycle crashed into me and the rider suffered a severely fractured tibia from when it hit my Tourtech cylinder guards (ouch). My BMW suffered minor damage, but I was able to continue on the remaining 2000 miles of the trip with no problems.
I continued on from there to Verona for the evening. I had a great meal...no idea what it was, but I find that I'm pretty good at letting the locals pick me something good :-) ...... Nice town
It was raining the next morning...the only rain on the trip...as I headed out through the fairly industrial North East coast to one of my minor, but necessary, goals...crossing the Rubicon. It's funny, when my nephew graduated high school in 2005, I was working on my plans for my assignment in Europe and I remember during his graduation dinner telling the table that one the things I really wanted to do was to cross the Rubicon. I got a few blank stares, but my 18 year old nephew came back with "the die is cast"....I knew he'd be alright :-) So here it is...me and the mighty GS crossed the Rubicon...just like Caesar (well, maybe not :-))
Here's a close up of the road sign "via Rubicone". It parallels the river.

An eating disorder is a serious medical illness. Eating disorders can be characterized by limiting food take or overeating. Sometimes exercise, vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics are used to eliminate food and calories from the body.
A common misconception is that everyone with an eating disorder is visibly skinny or at a low body weight. Eating disorders are generally kept secret, and people may deny that they have a problem.
The main types of eating disorders are:
Look for these signs and symptoms:
There are many factors that may contribute to developing an eating disorder, including:
Eating disorders can become chronic and life-threatening if not identified or treated in their early stages. Treatment of eating disorders is often tailored specifically on an individual basis. Most treatments involve forms of psychotherapy and psychological counseling in connection with nutrition and medical support. Counseling, medical, and nutritional help should always be given by a health care or mental health professional. Relapse rates from eating disorders are estimated at 30 – 50%, so long term monitoring and treatment is important.
To help prevent eating disorders in yourself and others, you can:
It is important that treatment for eating disorders be provided by a health care or mental health provider. If you are constantly preoccupied with food, body image, or exercise, consider contacting a health care provider.
Helping a friend or loved one with an eating disorder can save a life. You can help by engaging them in an open dialogue with the goal of seeking help from a health care provider. When deciding whether to discuss these issues with someone, think about your relationship to the individual. Does he or she consider you a close, trusted, and appropriate person to confront them about this issue? Before talking to your friend, consider these suggestions:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is a condition that makes it difficult for people to control their attention and behavior. It usually appears before age seven. ADHD symptoms may create difficulties getting work done. Symptoms may also affect relationships with friends and family.
It is common to have a hard time focusing on schoolwork sometimes, or to occasionally be impulsive in decision making. These symptoms by themselves do not mean that you have ADHD.
Although symptoms of the disorder vary by individual and can range from mild to severe, some of the most common signs are:
Other behaviors related to ADHD are chronic lateness and forgetfulness, anxiety, difficulty organizing, difficulty controlling anger, impulsiveness, and substance abuse.
People with ADHD are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for long periods of time, are often restless, have a tendency to daydream, and may be slow to complete tasks.
Studies show that men are twice as likely as women to be diagnosed with ADHD, and that between 2 and 6% of the adult population has the disorder. At least one student in every classroom in the United States has been diagnosed with ADHD.
ADHD should only be diagnosed by an experienced and qualified professional such as an educational psychologist or a psychiatrist. Since the symptoms of ADHD are common to may other conditions, you should never self-diagnose. Instead, seek a comprehensive evaluation from a qualified professional. A comprehensive evaluation may include exploring personal and family medical history, and psychological testing. Hall Health is unable to perform ADD/ADHD evaluations. If you are in need of an evaluation, please see our page on ADD/ADHD Testing and Medication Resources.

Summer placements will kick off on Tuesday
Over 110 firms expected at the campus over
the next four days
BANGALORE: Anxious eyes will be trained on the Indian Institute of Management's placements for the summer internships which is expected to be the bellwether of career prospects in the backdrop of the current economic slowdown.
The summer placements will kick off here on Tuesday and roughly more than 110 companies are expected at the campus over the next four days, and the mood at this elite institute is largely that of apprehension.
Obvious impact
There has been a significant increase in the number of media and infrastructure firms that are visiting the campus, said Aditya Kasyap, second year student and placement cell representative. Marquee recruiter Lehman Brothers, which shut shop dramatically, had made 13 offers last year.
Though top investment banks will be present in the "slot zero" on day one of placements, students are not sure that the number of offers made will be in the same league as last year.
No confirmation
Though IIM-B did not confirm the exact number of companies which have been slotted for these summer internships, the impact of the near collapse of the U.S.-led global finance system is obvious.
The institute, which invited only 85 companies last year, is playing it cautious and has increased the participation by roughly 40 per cent this year.
Nearly 60 companies made offers to the previous batch.
Largest batch
Incidentally, this is also the largest batch that is sitting for placements at IIM-B. The batch strength went up by nearly 30 last year after the OBC quota was implemented. Sourav Mukherjee, chairperson placements, told The Hindu that with companies resorting to "belt tightening," they have even kept a few companies as back-up.
"For the first year students this is an academic exercise. However, the offers and company profiles will be closely watched by final year students who will be up for placements in less than four months," Prof. Mukherjee explained.
"This will certainly be an indicator and will show us how 'bad' is bad," he added. Kasyap said that they are watching it closely because it is co-related and will give an idea of where the industry stands.
Close watch
Consulting firms, investment banks, general management, real estate, infrastructure and lifestyle are expected on campus. "Students are aware that the context today is not the same as it was two years ago. How many offers these companies make this time around will be closely watched," Prof. Mukherjee explained.

Cash for clunkers program may be running on empty
WASHINGTON The government's popular "cash for clunkers" program may be running out of money after only a matter of days as car shoppers flock to dealerships to take advantage of the rebates.
The White House said Thursday it was assessing its options amid concerns the $1 billion budget for rebates for new car sales may have been depleted. The program officially began last week and has been heavily publicized by automakers and dealers.
Transportation Department officials called lawmakers earlier Thursday to alert them of plans to suspend the program as early as Friday. But a White House official said later the program had not been suspended and they were reviewing their options to keep the program funded.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said they were working to "assess the situation facing what is obviously an incredibly popular program. Auto dealers and consumers should have confidence that all valid CARS transactions that have taken place to date will be honored."
Dubbed the Car Allowance Rebate System, or CARS, the program offers owners of old cars and trucks $3,500 or $4,500 toward a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle, in exchange for scrapping their old vehicle. Congress last month approved the plan to boost auto sales and remove some inefficient cars and trucks from the roads.
The program was scheduled to last through Nov. 1 or until the money ran out, but few predicted it would be depleted in days. Through late Wednesday, 22,782 vehicles had been purchased through CARS and nearly $96 million had been spent.
But dealers raised concerns about large backlogs in the processing of the deals in the government system. A survey of 2,000 dealers by the National Automobile Dealers Association found about 25,000 deals had not yet been approved by the government, or nearly 13 trades per store.
It suggested that with about 23,000 dealers taking part in the program, car dealers may already have surpassed the 250,000 vehicle sales funded by the $1 billion program.
"There's a significant backlog of 'cash for clunkers' deals that make us question how much funding is still available in the program," said Bailey Wood, a spokesman for the dealers association.
The reports that the CARS program could be suspended created confusion among many dealers, who had showrooms filled with car shoppers looking to scrap their gas guzzlers.
Alan Helfman, general manager of River Oaks Chrysler Jeep in Houston, said he was worried that the government wouldn't pay for some of his clunker deals. His dealership has completed paperwork on about 20 sales under the program, but in some cases the titles haven't been obtained yet or the vehicles aren't on his lot.
"There's no doubt I'm going to get hammered on a deal or two," Helfman said.
The clunkers program was set up to boost U.S. auto sales and help struggling automakers through the worst sales slump in more than a quarter-century. Sales for the first half of the year were down 35 percent from the same period in 2008, and analysts are predicting only a modest recovery during the second half of the year.

Donnay XDual racquets?
Can anyone give me some feedback (power, control, spin potential, feel, etc.) on these Donnay Racquets:
- X-Dual Gold 99
- X-Dual Silver 99
- X-P Dual Black 102
I'm trying to find a thinner beamed (<23mm) racquet that offers excellent spin potential, is easy on the arm (still having some arm pain even though I haven't played tennis in over a month), gives spot on control, decent power, is between 96-102 sq in, standard length, and weighs between 10.9 and 11.5 ounces strung. 4.0 baseline singles player, looking to transition to the net more, and will be playing much more doubles.
Others I've considered are the Head MicroGel Radical MP, Dunlop AG 4D 300 Tour, and Dunlop Bio F3.0 Tour but tend to shy away from 18x20 string patterns. The Mantis Tour 305 but haven't heard a great deal about Mantis racquets. And the X-Feel Tour from Pacific but really haven't found a Pacific (or Fischer) racquet I've liked in the past. Plus I like the easy customization of the Donnay XDual Racquets.
Thank you for any help.
BTW, recent racquets: Wilson BLX Pro Open, Dunlop AG 4D 200 Tour, Dunlop AG 4D 300, Babolat Pure Drive Cortex
Gold 99 will be your choice.
It has great control, spin, feel, comfort, and stability.
You can easily customize it to add more power as you know.
You might consider Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18 for spin and comfort but it has lack of stability.
I recently purchased Bio F3.0 Tour. Spin is not that great compared to other 2 rackets.
TripleB might become the first person to switch to a new racquet and then switch again without ever having used it. This is bizarre; forget about racquets for awhile, get into something else for now.
Coming from the Gamma T-7 I currently own two Donnay racquets; an X-P Dual and another X-Red 99.
Have to consider the original X-Series is providing very much of an old-school flexy feel, plush and solid, not overall powerful. X-P Dual is much more comparable to an actual tweener racquet, however, still this offers an impressive blend of comfort and feel. If one suffers from tennis elbow, I recommend the X-Series over X-Dual Series, though. In that case you may look for X-Orange, Yellow or White and customize it using the Donnay customization kit.
Myself, I am looking to get my hands on another X-P Dual. Love that racquet very much, even I hit the Gamma T-7 for the last 3 years, X-P Dual is now the racquet-to-go for me. Great one, love it!
Hope, this help....cheers gd!
send me a message i can answer any questions you may have!
based on what you have said the gold is where you are leaning, but don't sleep on the silver either.... we sell a lot more silver where I am at than the gold... a little more free power
But as I looked at them more, and took a look at the customization kit available, the Silver started looking more like a better choice. I could start with the lighter weight Silver and then add weight to it until I got it the way I wanted. I'm afraid that with the Gold at 11.5 ounces, if I didn't like it stock, by the time I added weight to it then it would be a little more stick than I cared to handle.
After looking at the Silver I thought I would also throw the X-P Dual Black 102 in there as well since it might make a nice 'base' racquet to add some weight to. However it looks as though the Donnay Customization Kit is not longer available at T-W.
I'm still having pain in my right elbow even though I haven't played in over a month, so 'comfort' may become an important category for me.
Thank you for your input.
i would give the silver a go... if you can't track down a weight kit let me know i can help you out there. i wasn't a fan of the 102 as it felt a bit too unstable to me. I feel all the Donnay's play rather comfortable, but that is debated between lots of people who play them. They are kind of a love it or hate it frame
I agreed with most of your opinions except solid part for F3.0 Tour.
It feels hollow and Gold has more solid feel.
Hey TripleB, I have been demoing the Pro One 16x19, Silver99, Gold99 and XP-dual 102 Black. The Gold99 in the most arm friendly of the bunch. In fact, it's the most arm friendly racquet I have ever hit. That said, I am having a problem hitting the ball short with the Gold99. This may may be due to the increased spin i'm getting on the ball. I have the 10 gr. butt cap and slide weights at 3,9 and 12. I actually cut the slide weights in half. So only using 1/2 a slide weight at each position. I like all the Donnay racquets so far. I'm not sure which I will get yet, but I am leaning toward the Gold99. Just feels like heaven when I hit the ball! Even on miss hits! I also have elbow issues and the Gold 99 never hurts my elbow! The others are soft, but slightly more harsh on off center hits.
I haven't tried any of them yet but "on paper" I might be leaning towards the Silver to get that extra bit of pop and then use the weights to customize it to the weight of my liking. One of my concerns is that the Gold is already 11.5 ounces so to keep it in my target weight range I wouldn't be able to customize it very much, if at all.
I never really had elbow problems in the past but ever since I spent some time with the TT Warrior Midplus a year or two ago my right elbow has been a bit tender. Haven't played tennis in over a month now and it's still tender just from doing everyday tasks (of course traveling around on crutches all the times doesn't seem to be helping it any either).
Again, thanks for your comments.
I played with the silver for several months, and moved to the XP, which is my current racquet. I haven't tried the others on your list.
I like the Donnays because I think they are uniquely arm friendly compared to any other racquets I've hit. I never have any elbow pain, and rarely have any arm soreness compared to other brands.
I also like the thin beams, although for me it's probably more of a mental thing.
XP vs. Silver? For me, the XP 102 Black seems to have a bit more pop. I serve better with it too (get more balls in).
One problem with the silver is how fragile it is. I do not abuse my racquets by deliberately hitting things (other than balls). However, during my serve follow through, my silver slipped out of my sweaty hand onto the court (rubico soft court) and the frame cracked all the way through. I don't think the racquet hit the ground very hard as I was even trying to catch it as it left my slippery hand. I don't think the XP would have cracked in the same situation.
Let the OP make his own experience, looking into his racquet history on this board, we should not worry too much the time will come, that he will appreciate the strengths of X-P Dual :razz:
I was hoping to stay under 22mm for the width (mental thing with me as well) and notice that the XP Black 102 is 23mm in some spots...where is this racquet the widest? Does it "play like a wider bodied racquet?"
Is the Black just as friendly on the arm as the Silver? I see the specs say it is slightly more flexy but I was just wondering if the lighter weight might cause stability problems with shock being translated to the arm.
Thanks for your input!
Yea...hopefully these racquets are still around when I'm able to get back out on a tennis court - June 2013. If they go super cheap before then I may just have to purchase one (along with the Customization Kit) and go with it. :)
i tried all three before i settled on the silver. gold to me was the most solid but also felt a little sluggish. x-dual 102 played the most tweener-ish for me. wasn't convinced it would hold up to heavy hitting without a lot more weight. the silver was right in the middle weight wise and gave me room to either play with it stock or use the customization kits to bring up the weight.
i'm currently enjoying 0+ gram buttcap with 3 gram weight slide at 12 o'clock. using one overgrip. notice a lot more power and less vibration on shots near the top of the hoop. also tried and loved the 5+ gram buttcap and slides at 3 and 9 -- but only for baseline bashing. a huge amount more pop and stability.
comfort wise i found all three donnays to be really comfortable. but none of them were as arm friendly as the exo3 tour. but all three donnays also had a lot better feel and feedback. no more mushy response.
Once again, for you I recommend the POG.
It is calling you back!
Yes, I have experimented with the weights on both frames. I find I like the XP 102 stock with no weights. My fav combination with the silver was to leave the stock butt grip weight, but use one weight strip at the top of the frame.

Remember Me
Since Radiohead linked to this video of their stellar performance of "15 Step" with the USC Marching Band at the recent 2009 Grammy Awards, we thought we'd share it's percussive glories with you. The Grammy organizers have been busily yanking clips of this off YouTube all week and we thought it'd be fun to be scofflaws with the band!
While we're at it, let's peek back at an earlier USC Marching Band guest spot with Fleetwood Mac. You can really hear the cocaine in the creative process on this one!
damn i wish i was in the USC drumline
God, I love these guys. How delicious to see them performing a song from In Rainbows at the Grammys. Probably the only album up for an award in Grammy history that didn't go through a record company. Johnny Greenwood should do more musical scores. There Will Be Blood was spectacular.

I believe it is "15 Step"
cool, but i only see thom and johnny...what gives?
i haven't heard anything at all, rumors or not, about radiohead playing rothbury but that would be a very convincing argument to make it out there.
Not a big Radiohead fan but I respect their originality. Its cool that some of you guys are still clowining on me. It get from the guys at the mayonnaise plant all the time anyways. I think we can all agree that Dr.Funkinstein is full of it. Miracle Whip is horrendous and comes in plastic jars. Get a grip.
the word 'custy/custies' is to be used by spun out tour kids... not fat guys in chinatown...

gratefuldank is funnny. i didn't know about this until today. mad respect for raiodead and the Mac.
o karl is a puss. he left rothbury on thursday kiz he couldnt handle the FREEDOM!!!!!
dude if they played Rothbury...... O_O
Radiohead is has a depressing sound that makes me want to take morphine and cry.
lovemusical, I can't agree with you more about our Johnny Greenwood. You should know that he did do another soundtrack to a documentary called "Bodysong." So if you love the "There Will Be Blood" soundtrack, check this one out, it's much more intense and has more of that Radiohead-esque feel to it...as for the video, I wish I would've skipped the whole damn Grammy's waiting 3hrs just to see Radiohead and waited for this instead, oh well Paul Mccartney's performance was a good one as well and Fuck it, so wasn't Katy Perry, she is just too fine, I swear I'm gonna marry that girl someday...
that would be insane to tell your kids you played with radiohead at the grammy's....fortunately i didnt watch because i didnt want to see 95% of the corporate bullshit, luckily jambase has the 5% i want to see.....radiohead at rothbury would get me there over the roo but i doubt it
And to add, I've heard some good rumors they were so feeling the latest tour, which to the fans who attended can understand, that they were eager to get into the studio for another album...I can only hope.
Y0, where's the R0thbury lineup already!!!!! Radiohead would be a great headliner. Warm Carl, is your avatar a picture of John Turturro?
Glad to see Radiohead is still doing their thing. Great band. I know this is off topic, but I have been seeing alot of talk about mayonaise jars. Can someone please fill me in on this one?
Why didn't Radiohead's bass player play? Looks like it's just a 3-piece with the marching band.

No Rest in this Room
Seems Hernan s in no rush to go anywhere. He climbs back up on the toilet to cool off but finds that his two hot cops are quickly replaced by a couple of sweet, young guys. Esteban Mendoza and Miguel Montalvo are so into each other's cocks that they don't notice Hernan enjoying the show from the stall. Esteban is a sloppy mouth cocksucker with a deep throat. He's also hung like a fucking mule! He and Miguel are swapping head when, Victor Jimenez, the maintenance man, walks in and gets an eye-full. He's caught them and takes full advantage of it. Only moments after he's walked in his fat boner is in Esteban's wet mouth and then right into Miguel's. The boys take turns getting Victor's cock lubed with spit before he takes turns throwing a hard fuck up each twink's hot ass. These guys shoot almost at the same time. I'm jealous of the cameraman that was under their drooling cocks when they finally did unload. No way he walked away dry!

When using the Bard skill cards, when is the fatigue spent? When the song token is placed on the card, or each time the card takes effect?
Also, can both song tokens be on one skill card, or does it have to be one or the other?
Lastly, once a token is placed on a bard skill card, does it need to remain there until the end of the encounter, or can it be removed and placed on a different card each turn?
Thank you in advance for any insights!

The decision of the Authority follows:
31 FLRA No. 56 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY AND DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD (PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE) Respondent and RICHARD PEARL and VICTOR PORRO and PORTSMOUTH FEDERAL EMPLOYEES METAL TRADES COUNCIL, AFL-CIO Charging Party Case Nos. 1-CA-30303 1-CA-30305 1-CA-30306 (21 FLRA 195) (28 FLRA 209)

by James Slater - Last night, inside the beautiful Ulster Hall in Belfast, local man and challenger Martin Lindsay stopped defending British featherweight champion Paul Appleby of Edinburgh, Scotland at 2 minutes and 36 seconds of the 6th round. A good action fight throughout, both the 26-year-old challenger and the 21-year-old champion - who was making the second defence of his title - gave their all, spurred on as they were by an amazingly noisy crowd..
Unloading with both hands, Lindsay ripped into the champion with lefts and rights to the head in the 6th round. Finally, after a big right hand to the head, referee Howard Foster dived in and saved Appleby from taking any more. Though Team-Appleby later debated the stoppage, it looked like the third man in the ring did the right thing from where I was. Improving to 14-0(6), the new champion would surely have no objections to having a rematch. 21-year-old Appleby, who lost his unbeaten record along with his title in falling to 14-1(9), would definitely like a return.
In front of a deafening crowd, practically all of which was cheering on Belfast man Lindsay, naturally, the two men went straight at it in the opening round. Lindsay looked the quicker and sharper man in the first two rounds, though, and he was catching the champion with head shots with both hands. Lindsay also did some good body work, particularly with his left hand. Appleby was firing back, but he was no way near as sharp. The first two rounds I gave to the challenger.
In the 3rd, Appleby enjoyed his first good round. Unloading some right hands, the champion forced Lindsay to hold on a touch. The 4th round was the best of the fight, though. Both men took turns in letting hard shots go and there was some fierce trading. A war was shaping up, and both men were throwing caution to the wind. Appleby was also bleeding from the nose and he was given a warning from the ref for pulling down on the challenger's head. An even round.
Appleby was the more aggressive man in the 5th round, coming forward more than Lindsay. Both men landed with good right hands to the head in this, another close session. Then came the end in the 6th round.
A big right hand scored for Lindsay near the start of the round, and pretty soon Appleby was hurt and holding on. Looking tired, the champion was soon under heavy pressure. His right hands looking very dangerous, the challenger sure enough began connecting with his bombs. A big left hand to the head followed by two rights hurt Appleby, and Lindsay went for the finish. Two more rights upstairs and a big left hook to the jaw had Appleby all over the place on the ropes. Bravely trying to fight back, the champion saw his belt go after a final right crashed into his head, prompting Foster to stop the bout.
It was a good fight, yet the British TV commentators picked up on how reckless both men were during it. Indeed, both young fighters have a lot to learn yet. Fortunately, they both have plenty of time on their side.

The Telugu Desam Party took out a rally in One Town area on Tuesday asking the government to construct a flyover near Kanakadurga temple here.
The TDP activists, led by Mylavaram MLA and district president Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, marched towards Potti Sriramulu statue from TDP Vijayawada (West) constituency in-charge Buddha Venkanna's residence near Gosala. Later, they took out a rally from Bhavanipuram to Kummaripalem, the stretch of road where frequent traffic jams take place. The rally culminated into a one-day hunger strike.
Addressing the gathering in the evening, TDP polit bureau member K. Yerran Naidu said: "There is no need for hunger strike for small cause like this.
The government's apathy compelled us to sit on hunger strike."
Referring to Kadapa MP and YSR Congress president Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy's remarks on Krishna tribunal, the TDP sought to know what Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy did as an MP. As an MP, he never raised the issue in Parliament. The Congress government, led by Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy was responsible for injustice meted out to the State by Brajesh Kumar Tribunal. Now, Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy was making a hue and cry over it, he alleged.
TDP urban president Vamsi, Mr. Venkanna and others were present.

Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon admits he's enjoyed working with coach Antonio Conte.
Conte has overseen back-to-back Scudetto triumphs.
"I don't want to be boring but I think every Coach has had a decisive impact on my career development," he told fifa.com.
"I have to say, though, that Antonio Conte is definitely the best coach I've worked with.
"In a short space of time he's managed to breathe new life into a team that in two seasons could do no better than seventh place. And he was a winner straightaway.
"[Juventus, for me] is a life of success, struggle and commitment. It's a family I've grown up in and helped others to grow in.
"It's a kind of life choice, a way of life.
"I've never felt that being a captain is just about wearing an armband. A real captain is one who plays an important role for the team on the pitch and in the dressing room, regardless of the position they play in.
"There are five [defenders], no question [who I've had the best relationship with]: Fabio Cannavaro, Lillian Thuram, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini."

iPad name conflicts with STMicro trademarks
updated 01:15 pm EST, Thu February 4, 2010
Mutual agreement likely
Apple has obstacles in Europe to overcome if it wants to legally use the name iPad, news sources observe. A joint French-Italian company, STMicroelectronics, is already said to have continental rights to the name under two trademark classifications, covering print usage and electronics and components. An Apple front is recently believed to have filed for six European classifications, including the two which STMicro operates under.
The latter business uses the term "IPAD" to refer to chips sold to cellphone makers. Unlike Apple's iPad, the STMicro name is an acronym, standing for Integrated Passive and Active Devices. A mutual agreement on sharing the trademarks may in fact be likely, as STMicro's CEO, Carlo Bozotti, has just made comments from Taiwan that he hopes to "have a great customer named Apple."
The biggest trademark challenge for Apple remains Fujitsu, which recently let efforts to secure "iPAD" in the US lapse, but has had a functional product in the market since 2002. The Fujitsu iPAD is meant for retail and warehouse workers, rather than the general public. Regardless, Fujitsu insists it should have the trademark.

A Decade in the WTO: Implications for China and Global Trade Governance: Organized by ICTSD, in partnership with China Society for WTO Studies and FES Geneva Office
2011 marks China's 10th year in the WTO. In 2001 when China joined the WTO, few might have expected China would gain its economic status as impressive as the reality is today. Within one decade, China doubled its GDP, increased export 4.9 times and import 4.7 times. China's outward investment (ODI) soared 60 times, from less than USD 1 billion in 2001 to USD 60 billion in 2010. It accumulated world largest foreign reserves of USD 2.8 trillion.
On the other hand, China fast economic growth is unbalanced and, perhaps, unsustainable. It is reported that many Chinese companies are not profitable. The economy is too much dependent on export and investment in fixed-assets, and depends less on domestic consumption. Over 150 million people are living below 1 USD per day. The alarming income disparity is illustrated by the ratio of urban to rural per capita income which is above 3 and the ratio of incomes of coastal provinces to inland provinces which is close to 2.5. Not mentioning that the environment is challenging and social pressures both from within and from outside are mounting.
Against this backdrop, many questions continue to be raised about China's economic rise. What is the impact of China's WTO membership on itself and the WTO as a backbone institute of global trade governance? What's new that China has brought to the WTO? How is China's influence perceived by other WTO members? And what's next in terms of role of China in address emerging issues such as climate change, international development and global economic governance?
To address these questions, ICTSD will organize a roundtable in Geneva on "A Decade in the WTO: Implications for China and Global Trade Governance".
The objective of the dialogue is to generate a better understanding of China's rise and implications for international trade and world trading system at a moment when both China's membership and WTO Doha Round enter into their 10th year. It will also seek to identify areas for further research and dialogue in respect to the role of China and other merging countries in setting future trade agenda and sustainable development. Based on this expert meeting, an e-book will be published before the WTO Ministerial Meeting in the end of 2011.
The Dialogue is organized by the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) in partnership with China Society for WTO Studies (CWTO), and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) office in Geneva.
Founded in Geneva in September 1996, ICTSD aims to influence the international trade system such that it advances the goal of sustainable development. As an independent, non-profit, and non-governmental organization, ICTSD engages a broad range of actors in ongoing dialogue on trade and sustainable development policy. In advancing its mission, the Centre has become a leading broker of knowledge and information on trade policy and sustainable development.
ICTSD plays a unique, systemic role as a provider of original, non-partisan reporting and facilitation services. ICTSD advances trade policy that supports sustainable development by structuring interaction between policy-makers and key influencers who are often excluded from policymaking processes. ICTSD helps parties better understand the technical and political contexts that underlie their interests and the interests of those with whom they interact on policy issues. In this way, ICTSD builds bridges between groups with seemingly disparate agendas, enabling them to identify and progress on issues where their interests and priorities coincide.
ICTSD launched it China Initiative in 2006. The China Initiative is aimed at leveraging China's role in global economic governance for a global common future of sustainable development. Its programme is focused on three key themes: global economic governance, trade and investment, international development. It makes intervention at the multilateral, bilateral and national levels.
Bridges China Dialogue is the flagship project of ICTSD China Initiative. The Dialogue is committed to improving China's globalization in a sustainable manner by engaging Chinese business leaders and policymakers in international multi-stakeholder conversations on governance, strategies, practices and global citizenship. Since 2007, the Dialogue has become one of most influential international forums on China related issues.
In March 2011, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met ICTSD Chief Executive Mr. Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz in People's Great Hall. Wen said, China's development is inseparable from the world, and the development of the world cannot be realized without China. In his conversation, Premier Wen congratulated ICTSD in its work on global economic governance matters and its focus on sustainability, and expressed appreciation for ICTSD's work in ensuring China's smoother integration into world economy, advancing sustainable development of China and the world.
ICTSD is very honored to have the partnership support from China Society for World Trade Organization Studies (CWTO). The CWTO is the sole nation-wide non-governmental organization of studying WTO and relevant economic and trade issues based in Beijing, China. Formed voluntarily by government officials, experts and scholars, and institutions all over the country engaged in WTO-related affairs, CWTO is one of the authoritative institutions in the country carrying out research, consulting, training, compilation, publication, and international exchange and cooperation activities in connection with WTO.
ICTSD appreciates its long term partnership with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) on China and global governance programme. As a private cultural non-profit institution, FES is committed to the ideas and basic values of social democracy. With its Geneva office FES takes special interest in UN-debates on trade and development as well as human rights and disarmament. We are grateful for FES Geneva Office's financial contribution to sponsoring the participation of several speakers in this dialogue.
A number of think pieces will be prepared to stimulate discussions at the dialogue. Discussions at the dialogue will also feed in a book which is scheduled to be published and launched in conjunction with WTO Ministerial meeting in December in Geneva.
The dialogue is intended to be an international multi-stakeholder dialogue with participants from governments, academia, civil society organizations and the business community.

When will Westside mass transit opponents realize that the lack of off-road transit options west of Western Avenue is part of why the traffic is so awful? The only way to get to Westwood, Century City or Santa Monica is by car. And commercial development on the Westside has meant that there are a lot of people who need to get there.
No one will claim that the Expo Line, a "Subway to the Sea" or the Wilshire Boulevard busway will reduce traffic; that could not happen until development is controlled. But at least these projects would give those of us who live on the Westside and the thousands more who work there alternatives to sitting in traffic.

Gillett could land Yeovil deal
Last Updated: 21/07/14 12:13pm
Simon Gillett: Could be handed Yeovil chances
Gary Johnson will continue to run the rule over trialist Simon Gillett after he featured in Yeovil's 1-1 draw with Reading.
The former Southampton and Doncaster midfielder spent a spell on loan at Bristol City last season and is now a free agent.
"We needed that type of player today (Saturday) so we gave him an opportunity to show us what he can do," Johnson told the Glovers' website.
"If he wants to stick around for a little while longer I'm sure he will get that opportunity to keep impressing.
"We won't make that decision after a day and a bit. I know him very well, he's played against my teams many times and he's still got something in there that can help someone and it could be us."

President Obama's re-election last Tuesday has been partly the result of, and will play a large role in, U.S. immigration law. Immigration is arguably what defines America as a nation in many ways. American is a nation whose foundation is comprised of the work and spirit of immigrants; it has always been a refuge and a place where one can pursue their dreams in a tangible way. In many cases, it is the only country where immigrants have ever been able to call home. This holds, particularly, for those brought to the U.S.
as children and for whom President Obama's Deferred Action and Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is critical. With the re-election of President Obama, there is a possibility that immigration processes can be improved and for specific programs, such as the DACA and Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), to be successfully implemented.

Maryport Roman museum men step down
Last updated at 12:37, Friday, 08 February 2013
The chairman of the Senhouse Roman Museum Trust has announced his plan to retire from the role.
Peter Greggains has served on the trust for around 30 years and has been chairman for the past seven.
Mr Greggains said: "I have been privileged to chair the trust during a period of substantial progress. The Roman site has been acquired and made available for research and, thanks to the generosity of benefactor Graham Harris, who gave a £1 million legacy to the trust, it has been able to fund a programme of excavation on the site by Newcastle University which has already yielded remarkable results."
He said that more than 100,000 people had visited the Maryport museum since it opened in 1990.
He added: "I look forward to the continued success of the trust, building on sound foundations and the determination, skill and commitment of trustees, staff and volunteers."
Trust treasurer Hugh Thomson is also retiring after 20 years in post.
Mr Thomson has never been a trustee but has been a dedicated museum volunteer for many years.
