GM retakes title of top-selling global automaker
By AP
General Motors sold just over 9 million cars and trucks worldwide last year to reclaim the title of the world's top-selling automaker.
The company says it sold 9.03 million vehicles last year, up 7.6% from 2010.
That beat Toyota, which took the crown away from GM in 2008. Toyota sold 7.9 million vehicles last year. The March earthquake in Japan cut Toyota's factory production and hurt its sales.
Germany's Volkswagen took second place with a record 8.156 million sales in 2011. That was up 14% over 2010.
Before 2008, GM had held the title for more than seven decades.
The title doesn't mean much to GM's bottom line. But it's an example of how far the company has come since it nearly collapsed in financial ruin in 2009.

Back to Sweden - Karlstad
About 3 hours on the road today leaving Norway and into Sweden. Lots of very pretty lakes and farming on the rolling hills. Mainly dairy type farming and corn in this area. Karlstad is a pretty town but there are not a lot of historical things to visit. The church dates back to 1737. There are lots of pretty waterways and canals. Just before entering Karlstad we came upon an Ikea store. At least the food was reasonable priced there unlike most of the food in ...
Driving on the other side of the road
Today we leave Stockholm and head towards Oslo. We are picking up our rental car which of course means driving on the other side of the road.
We have a VW Golf and it took us more than a few minutes to get it out of its parking spot in the basement of a shopping centre car park. Once we were out on the roads we made our way onto the freeway and we were on our way.
Apparently I ...
... oldest portrait collections in the world.
The hotel we are staying in is an old gaol that has been converted for us the new inhabitants to stay in.
The town has a river with people swimming in it and people boating and just laying around in the water on rubber tubes.
The bridge has pretty flowers all over it a lovely park alongside the river.
... it will be filled with a bunch of fresh experiences, which is basically why I'm putting this up. I'm thinking of having something to collect to the future but also to share with friends and family. However, I cannot ensure that I am good at updating frequently. It depends on the situation. But I will surely keep a regular basis of writing and taking pictures to at least store in my computer for further upload.
Take care until next time,
Day 9 - Bolmsö to Kristinehamn
Quite a lot of rain in the night but it didn't stop us sleeping. The trouble with this campsite was that although they made clear that this was early season and not all facilities were available, the fact that reception was only open for half an hour in the evening meant that basics like buying a token for the shower when you actually wanted to use it was impossible, as was getting the code for the wifi, which didn't make much difference as the wifi was switched off. ...

I think it's a bit too long and not "clicky" enough. Like it would start to wear on you after hearing it over and over.
This is the first reveal of it though, and as it will be part of a larger whole, it can't truly be judged yet. But still, something to keep in mind.

Hints and Tips by Anonymous
Updated: 01/01/70 | Printable Version
TIPS FOR BRANDISH SNES FROM KOEI CORPORATION Brandish begins with Varik falling into Ruins Area 1. There are forty-five dungeons divided into fours major sections: RUINS AREA, TOWER, CAVE, and FORTRESS. Your goal is to find your way out of the intricate maze by fighting monsters, discovering hidden treasures, and solving riddles in order to return to civilization. CONTROLLER HINTS * To make the game easier to play, change the walking pattern of Varik to "Rotate" (see Configuration: L/R Key in the manual). * Rest periodically to increase your HP by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT Button on the controller, simultaneously. GENERAL TIPS * When you enter a shop, sell your gold bars to accumulate more wealth. This will allow you to buy stronger shields, weapons and magic. NOTE: Selling combined gold bars will be more profitable, because they accrue interest. * Use limitless weapons as your main weapons. Save the stronger weapons for encounters with Boss monsters. * Alter the Game Speed (see Configuration in the manual) to help you get through certain rooms or to defend yourself from difficult monsters. * When your Level, Arm Strength, Magic Endurance, or Knowledge increases throughout the game, it is a good idea to save that information (see Save under Options Menu in the manual). * Rooms that have several monsters is a clue that they are guarding precious treasures. Don't avoid them, challenge yourself, Varik! By attacking certain monsters, you will be able to find additional treasures, passageways or increase your arm strength. * Warp Zones are areas that transport you to a different part of the map. Some are tricky so it is a good idea to look for switches to control the Warp Zones, buy some Warp Magic at a Magic Shop, or refer to the map frequently to confirm where you are. * When you advance to areas with several monsters, it is a good idea to close the door behind you to protect yourself. * To defend against monsters who attack from far away, such as the Archer, Coelacanth, Black Magic and Gargoyle, it is best to corner them against a wall and render them defenseless. RUINS AREA 1 There are floor and wall switches which will open doors. Be sure to look all around you for plaques, decaying walls, doors and switches. But be careful where you step because you may fall down to the Basement! Items in treasure chests, such as sledgehammers and keys, will be very useful on this floor. RUINS AREA 4 On this floor, you will have an unexpected encounter with Alexis. To get passed the rolling rock, shield yourself from shooting arrows and walk over all the switches except for the last switch (the second to the last switch triggers the rolling rock). When the rock begins to roll towards you, run backwards and hide in the cubbyhole on the right side of wall. RUINS AREA 5 In the last room of Ruins Area 5, you must flip the switches appropriately in order to stop the bars and create an easy passageway in the next room. It may help if you slow the speed of the game when positioning these bars. If you can get through this room, you can succeed to floor 6! RUINS AREA 7 This floor is all Warp Zones. It is a good idea to refer to the map frequently and take notes. Be sure to walk all around the rooms because Warp Zones may be hidden. There are no monsters on this floor. RUINS AREA 10 This is the final and most challenging floor of the Ruins Area. There is a Warp Zone in the beginning of this floor, so good luck getting through! Talk to the Ghost of a Girl to get information. In order to receive a key and proceed to the tower, you must defeat the Wizard in the last room. It is best to keep your back against a wall, use your shield for protection, and attack with your strongest sword. NOTE: Only one wizard is real, the other two are imaginary. You must kill the real wizard in order to proceed. FOOT OF THE TOWER When you move to the Foot of the Tower, you must defeat the Giant Crab to receive a key. This key will only take you so far before you will need to return to Ruins Area 10. Talk to the Ghost of a Girl and she will give you a token of her thanks. Be sure to look at doors before you touch them on this floor. * In general, after you talk with someone on a particular floor, it is a good idea to go back and talk to them later, and you will receive more information or treasures. TOWER 2F A Goblin will give you some insightful information for 5000 gold pieces. Be careful of what may be behind certain walls... TOWER 3F Talk to the Imprisoned Woman and try to help her find her boyfriend. This will require you to go down a floor to search for him, but she will give you a treasure. TOWER 5F In the room with the four pillars, beware of the switch in the middle of the room that will release four Headless monsters. Use Invisibility Potion to fight them. If you are strong enough to challenge them, you may find some extra treasures. TOWER 9F You will have the chance to meet another warrior named Gadie in the "Southeast Room". In order to figure out the floor switches, read the plaque on the wall and remember where you met Gadie. TOP OF THE TOWER To kill the Rakshahsas, use Invisibility Potion and attack when they are not looking. CAVE B10 The Nicksy will ask you to help the people in the cave by getting the water to flow again. If you help them out, the Nicksy will give you a token of her thanks. CAVE B7 You will need to search hard for switches to allow you to cross the water. Touch stone plaques and keep some extra gold bars on hand for when you get stranded. CAVE B6 Keep some Invisibility Potion on hand to help you fight Arachness. CAVE B3 On the perimeter of this floor, there are many crumbling walls which will lead you to secret passageways. To get to other sections of the maze, you must return to Cave B4 and go to the stairway in that area. If you are strong enough to kill the Iron Knight (the monster with the highest Defense Strength), you will receive a reward. CAVE B2 Don't be afraid to fall into the large hole, it could lead you to new places. CAVE B1 Be sure to check the walls around you, it may help you get to other parts of the maze. There is a special order to opening and closing the 10 treasure chests. You must defeat the Ninja before moving onto the Dark Zone. It is best to attack from far away using Barrier Magic or the Ring of Anger, and attack up close with the Sword of Flames. You may have to slow the speed of the game. DARK ZONES 1 & 2 Follow the monsters to lead you through the maze. Use the magnifying glass or steel balls to check areas in front of you. It is best to kill the Tatsujin with Fire Magic. FORTRESS 1 Take off your shield of darkness in the Fortress. When defending yourself from the Manticore in the room with all of the treasure chests, use Heal Magic and your strongest sword. In the large room with switches around the periphery, there is a post that remains constant to the southwest of the warp zone. Face north and touch the post. FORTRESS 2 When you touch the Green-eyed Wall, beware of the Erase Eye who will confuse you by erasing parts of the map. It's a good idea to discover most of the maze before touching the wall and setting this monster free. FORTRESS 3 Read all the plaques on this floor to get extra hints. To get through the room with all the switches, you must begin in front of the right switch and then use the code which was on the plaque in the room below (L=turn left, R=turn right, J=jump and F=forward). When you flip all 5 switches in the final room and the Warp Zone maze, one path will open up and lead you to an exit. FORTRESS 4 Use Heal Magic before jumping into holes. Watch out for evil imitation treasure chests, that can kill you. Try jumping over them. FORTRESS 5, 6, 7 You will need to do a lot of traveling between these floors before succeeding to the Backbone level. BACKBONE Kill the Bezalhydra to get a hold of a powerful sword and key which will bring you victory. BERIMYA Congratulations, you've made it to the final stage! To get past the last room, use the Planet Buster sword, Star Shield and all of your power to kill the final monster, King Berebus. It may help to slow the game speed in this room. Good job, Varik!

Marrying at an early age has become a taboo in almost every culture. Due to the parents, boys can't get married until they have an established job and girls can't get married to their proper matches. It is a social problem.
The way to cure this is to address the parents as well as the youth. Each one should know their responsibilities and limits.

The tragic shooting death of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother this week was compounded by the fact — baffling to many who don't use guns — that the .22 rifle the boy used has been given to him as a present.
The shooting was also the fourth this past month in which a child fired a gun at a sibling or parent. The most recent incident happened Wednesday night in Auburn, Wash., when a 7-year-old boy accidentally shot his 9-year-old sister in the leg. The boy had grabbed a .22 caliber rifle from another brother's closet.

Minister for Infrastructure and Investment Ganta Srinivasa Rao on Saturday said the contention that there was no development in the panchayats merged with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) was 'not correct'.
The Minister visited the 'Harita' housing project at Madhurawada and Kailasagiri Health Arena along with Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) Vice- Chairman N. Yuvaraj and inspected the works being undertaken there.
Interacting with the mediapersons, Mr. Srinivasa Rao felt it was wrong to oppose the merger of Anakapalle and Bheemunipatnam Municipalities on the plea that there was no development in the newly merged areas in the past. He said Visakhapatnam could get the Metro Rail project, if it had a population of 20 lakhs.
The population of the city was falling short by a few lakhs and merger of these two municipalities could help in Visakhapatnam getting the prestigious project and contribute to the growth of the region. He, however, admitted that the newly merged areas need to be developed further. He said he had already submitted a proposal to Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and hoped that it would be completed before the next elections.
On the cancellation of the 'Harita' housing project contract of VUDA, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said those, who were allotted houses in the project, had formed an association and represented to him. He said the Harita project would be completed in 18 months and the month-wise progress would be reviewed. It would be developed as a model township, he said.
The VUDA Vice-Chairman said Harita project was launched with 710 apartment units in 20 acres of area in the first phase. He attributed the delay in the work to a dispute with the contractor. The delay had led to escalation of cost by about Rs.40 crore thereby taking the project cost to Rs.160 crore.
VUDA Chief Engineer I. Viswanatha Rao, DFO B.V.A. Krishna Murthy, executive engineers V Bhavani Sankar, M Balarama Raju, Deputy Executive Engineers Devi Prasad Patro and M Satyanarayana and Haritha Allottees Association representative G.A.N. Bhukta were among those who participated.

I ride a bullet. A 2 wheeled, multiple-explosion powered machine with enough moving parts to remove entire fingers. Surfaces hot enough to cook flesh. It propels me at neck-breaking, bone-snapping flesh-tearing speeds, over and trough obstacle's I can only see as blurs. Its a sport that kills the careless, maims the best, and spits at the concept of mercy.

Broad Noodles Stir Fry with Tofu
Noodles Recipes are always popular at our home, specially because of the various tastes and flavours. My recent finding is this broad noodle, which is a flat noodle. These flat broad noodles are often used in Chinese noodles recipes, and here in Singapore, it is easily available to buy.

Pasta with prawns
Pasta always comes to my mind when it comes to pack meal box. I try different pasta in different recipes and some are my own version. Usually I cook pasta in a large quantity and freeze in small quantities, so I only need to prepare the sauce when it comes to cook. This is a simple and easy recipe with prawns. I simply used pasta sauce with little bit chili powder. The taste was good with addition of prawns, anyway next time I want to add chili sauce instead of chili powder. Then I will have some vibrant colour in my dish.
Here is the recipe, hope you will enjoy it.

Fried Bee Hoon
This is a recipe I try when I am not sure what to pack into meal box. We love this simple plain bee hoon (rice vermicelli) cooked with soy sauce. Though it is plain, it tastes flavourful due to soy sauce. In Singapore, I really love to eat this plain bee hoon from Hawker centres, however they use dark soy sauce too together with light soy sauce, so the colour of Bee hoon is really nice.(A little bit darker than this ).I will share that recipe soon. Till then, enjoy this super simple Bee Hoon recipe.(Fried Vermicelli)

Fried Instant Noodles with Mixed vegetables
Do you like instant noodles? Most of us like it because it is instant.
Anyway I do not use the sachet inside it. As I know it contains MSG which is not good for health.
Why don't we spend another 4-5 minutes & prepare a tasty & healthy dish without using any flavoured pack?
Here is my way of preparing instant noodles.
Ingredients (For 2 servings)
2 packs of instant noodles
1 cup of sliced mixed vegetables (carrot,leek,spring onion,bell pepper,cabbage etc)
Cooking oil about 2 tbspn
Water to cook noodles
Salt & pepper to taste
Allow water to boil in a pan.
Then cook the noodles as per instructions in the packet.
Drain it & keep aside.
Heat 2 tbspn oil in a pan,once it is hot add the vegeatable mix.
Sauté for few minutes until cooked.
Add some salt & pepper too.
Mix well.
Then add the cooked noodles & mix well.
It is ready to serve.
I can't say it is cooked within 2 minutes as instant noodles do.
But this dish is ready within less than 10 minutes.
Now I am sharing this with the event 'Fast Food but not Fat food' started by Priya & Guest hosting by Archana.Because instant noodles is always leading the fast food,but better if we can prepare it in a healthy way.

BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi today today attacked Sonia Gandhi over her assertion that Congress stood for democratic values, citing the ruling party's "refusal" to consult BJP in selecting the country's President and former PM Indira Gandhi's targeting of the media during Emergency.
The BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate took on the Congress president over her televised appeal three days ago and said her party and government had "belittled" and "humilated" all democratic institutions from the CAG, the CVC and the CBI.
"The constitution gave media freedom. Your (Sonia's) mother-in-law snatched this and put behind the bars self-respecting journalists... Could you not have enhanced the country's pride by consulting the opposition in choosing the President? You used CBI to reach a majority in Parliament whenever the need arose.
"Your shehzade (Rahul Gandhi) called a press conference to reject a decision taken by the Cabinet headed by a Prime Minister who was loyal to you. You talk of Congress respecting democratic institutions, what kind of respect is this"? he said in a speech broadcast across the country through 3D technology.
Taking a dig at her and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, he claimed Rahul seemed to have run away from the field and she has had to take charge now.
"He must be searching for toffees and balloons," Modi said, refering to often-repeated barbs of Rahul at his developmental claims which the Congress leader has derided as "toffee-model" and "baloon".
Modi also cited the registration of a criminal case by the CBI against senior IB officials in Ishrat Jahan encounter case to target the Congress-led UPA government and alleged that it pitted two "vital" institutions against each other.
In the strongest-ever attack on BJP in the current campaign, Sonia Gandhi had appealed to people to defeat "divisive and autocratic" forces which will "destroy" the Indian ethos.
The appeal for support to Congress, in the form of a short televised speech, saw Gandhi launching an all-out attack on BJP saying its vision is "clouded with hatred and falsehood" and its ideology is "divisive and autocratic".
Modi, however, did not reply to her attack on BJP in his speech.
He expressed confidence over the BJP's performance in the elections to 232 seats in Lok Sabha elections so far and said it was clear that the current Congress government has been "unseated by people".
"We have to work for a strong government in the remaining seats. We have to aim for 300 plus seats. A strong government can take strong steps and your strong intentions can then bear fruits," he said.

The Cycle.
INDEPENDENCE -- It's bound to happen everywhere, at some time or another.
HILLSVILLE -- It's not like Carroll County head coach Tom Hale is jacking around with a good thing. The Cavaliers' wing-T scheme produces a potent – if not flashy – ground game, with four main backs combining for more than 2,000 yards last year.
The Galax football team is hoping to get its bell rung. Frequently. By a lot of kids.
ELK CREEK -- The Great Diesel Truck Championship kicked off an exciting weekend of racing last Friday at Elk Creek Dragway, with the finals coming down to a Ford vs. Chevy match-up. Bobby Hash of Independence took the class win in his Chevy, running a 9.90 e.t. at 62 mph. Robbie Baker of Fries settled for a runner-up finish in his Ford with an 11.11 e.t.
Preparing to face a single wing offense is no easy thing to in and of itself. Doing so in Week 1 makes the task just that much more challenging. Add to that the fact that Northwood's offensive backfield is full of experience, and it gives Galax head coach Jared Van Acker cause for concern.
HILLSVILLE -- It's difficult to come up with the right word to describe what graduation did to the Bassett football roster after last season.
'Gutted' comes to mind. 'Decimated' works. 'Annihi-lated,' 'devastated' and 'ravaged' will fit, too.
HILLSVILLE -- Carroll County got win No. 1 for the year and forced Galax to wait at least a couple of days to reach a magic number as the Cavaliers opened the 2009 volleyball season with a 25-22, 25-16, 25-18 nondistrict win Monday.

Officials deserve thanks
The Carroll County administrator and board of supervisors are well deserving of the encouragement of citizens of Carroll County.
In the past year this board and our administrator have taken Carroll County in such a positive direction.
We no longer pick up our newspaper to read about an argument or personal vendetta between board members.
We have progress for Carroll County like there has not been in so many, many years. As a citizen I believe Carroll County has a great future.

Between September 2010 and September 2011 visits to Social Networks and Forums have increased by nearly 11% and, if you saw my Internet clock blog last month, social media accounts for nearly a quarter of all time spent online. But when are people engaging with social media the most?[ READ MORE ]
Facebook: where we reach out when life happens
For members of the "Facebook Generation", Facebook has become the de facto conduit for communication when something important occurs in our lives. Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg revealed further design upgrades at the annual f8 Conference, including "Timeline", which will be a form of digital biography of our lives and encourages users to see Facebook as a digital home.In the past, we'd run to a specific person when something big happened in our lives and the world around us – now we have networks of hundreds of people we rush to with news big and small. In March of 2010, Facebook became the largest website by market share of visits and, combined with the Pew Internet & American Life Project's research that the average adult Facebook user has 229 Facebook friends.Typically, Facebook's market share of visits peaks on Saturdays and Sundays according to our data.But that pattern varies with the occurrence of major news events. Indeed, peaks in traffic to Facebook tend to correlate with major news events and, concurrently, peaks in the News and Media category's upstream traffic from Facebook. The chart below illustrates the dates over the past nine months when Facebook's market share of visits had the greatest positive difference in comparison to the average for each weekday. Peaks in positive variance correlate to major events like "Snowmageddon 2011" (2/2/11) and tornado outbreaks in the US (late April). There are less newsworthy peaks, like New Year's Day, Memorial Day weekend, the 4th of July and Labor Day weekend; evidently web-users were less inclined to visit news sites after their New Year's Eve festivities.Though some jumps in the News and Media category's upstream from Facebook are merely a natural increase resulting from an increase in Facebook's market share of visits (e.g. holidays), other peaks in upstream from Facebook further illustrate the site's success as a major communication channel for web-users during important events. When examining the peaks in variance for News and Media's upstream traffic from Facebook alone, the nexus between Facebook and key incidents becomes evident. Weekends may be when Facebook's share of traffic generally peaks, but when major events happen, web-users turn to Facebook to share information with their communities. As a result, news organizations need to be prepared to capitalize on the influx of new traffic to their sites when major events occur and marketing organizations as a whole could benefit from recognizing that their Facebook ad campaigns may have a wider reach during said time frames.Thanks to Margot Bonner, Analyst on the Custom Data & Insights team for helping with today's analysis.[ READ MORE ]
Google+ opens the floodgates to all, market share rockets
Google+ emerged as the third largest site in the Social Network and Forums category last Wednesday, a day after the site went from "invitation-only" to "open access" available to everyone.Opening access created a massive spike in market share of visits for the site, with a 1269% growth from the week ending September 17th to the week of September 24th. The site also received nearly 15 million total US visits last week.In just one week, Google+ went from ranking as 54th most visited site in our Social Networking and Forums category to 8th place.The evolution of Google+'s audience composition from its launch in early July to last week illustrates how quickly the cycle from "Innovator" and "Early Adopter" phase, to the "Early Majority" and "Late Majority" can occur.In comparison to the online population, Google + continued to over-index for and win a high share of its visits from Mosaic USA 2011 Types which contain "Influencers", "Early Adopters" and the internet-savvy, like "Bohemian Groove", "Gotham Blend" and "Progressive Potpourri" ; this indicates that "Early Adopters" still account for a large share of Google+'s traffic.Yet the week of September 24th also saw a sharp increase in visit share from "Hispanic Harmony", "Platinum Prosperity" and "Striving Single Scene", amongst others, shifting the audience profile of Google+. Besides the outlier "Platinum Prosperity", the unifying factor between these varied groups is their lower to middle income profile. This evolution in audience profile indicates that Google+ may be shifting into the "Early Majority" stage.Note – the data does not include mobile traffic or traffic from the Google Notification BarThanks to Margot Bonner, Analyst on the Custom Data & Insights team for helping with today's analysis.[ READ MORE ]

I don't have any advice on the NFP front, but what about the non-latex condoms in conjunction with NFP for fertile days? I think they're made of polyurethane (maybe??) but they're for people with latex sensitivities.

Okay, I made the leap and have planned myself a four-day solo trip to DLRP. I'm coming in about three weeks, flying from London to Paris, and staying at Hotel Santa Fe starting 28 November. I've got tons of experience with WDW and DL, but this is a whole new thing for me.
Firstly, (and probably the one most important to my mom), I'm a nineteen-year-old girl, I've got airport transfers to and from the hotel, so I think I'll be okay, but would you say there are any things I have to worry about with safety? I'm not going to get pickpocketed, am I? That sort of thing doesn't happen inside the park, does it?
Secondly, this is probably only answerable by you UK residents. I've got a T-Mobile pay-as-you-go phone, will this work at all in France? I imagine I'll be charged exorbitantly if it does, but it'd be nice to know I can use it.
Thirdly, what's the cheapest way to get my hands on some euros? Is it better to get a small quantity in cash and use the Natwest debit card otherwise?
Fourthly, I don't speak any French at all. Will I be able to get along all right? I imagine I can get English maps/schedules, but for attractions, is there some sort of translation system? Also I was thinking of purchasing a short phrasebook, any recommendations?
Fifthly, the days I'll be there, don't have appear to have very long operating hours, but it looks like they all have extra magic hours, am I correct in thinking that that means both parks open two hours early every day?
Sixthly (just keep thinking of more things), I'm that person who likes to grab a spot for the parades/shows at the last minute. I don't think it'll be too crowded when I go, so will this tactic fly, or to people start to queue up early for these things.
One more, seventhly, weather. I know it'll be cold, but what to wear? And, on somewhat related note, is there any chance it'll snow?
If you can give any other advice to a virgin solo-tripper, go for it.

Lodge® L927C3 9-Stick Cast Iron Cornstick Pan
This is our second 9-stick corn stick iron. We are happy with the first one from Lodge-Logic. Before use, it must be cured with Crisco oil brushed on & then set in a 400 degree oven for one hour approximately. Allow to cool. Before putting batter in each time, it must be oiled with a brush to keep batter from sticking. After use, simply wipe with paper towel and store carefully. We wrap ours in parchment paper. Do not wash in detergent.

After a CFL bulb breaks, simply "open the windows and doors, sweep up the glass and throw it away," Scarbro says. "You shouldn't vacuum because that will take whatever level of mercury airborne. But it's not enough to close off the room and call EPA."
He says old CFL bulbs should be recycled or disposed of like other hazardous waste such as paint. Some governments have begun CFL bulb recycling programs, as have IKEA and a few other retailers. One company, Veoliaes Environmental Services, accepts old bulbs by mail for recycling.
But there is no national recycling system, and frustration over the availability of recycling programs is raising questions about how long it will take such programs to catch on. Drey says she called a hotline run by the maker of her bulbs to learn how to recycle them. "It was not an easy thing to do," she says.
Scarbro and other CFL advocates say that even if such bulbs are thrown into the trash, each CFL bulb represents a net reduction of mercury in the environment compared with each incandescent bulb. That's because the amount of mercury generated by a power plant to light a CFL bulb is dramatically less than that generated to light an incandescent bulb, Scarbro says.
Federal officials agree that the energy saved by CFL bulbs makes them worthwhile.
Lighting typically makes up about 20 percent of a household's electric bill. Because CFLs are close to 75 percent more efficient than regular light bulbs, the EPA estimates that if every home in America replaced just one light bulb with a CFL bulb rated highly by the agency, the USA would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year and more than $600 million in annual energy costs. It also would prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars, the EPA says.
That was Veson Terry's motivation. He just moved from an apartment in San Francisco where the utilities were paid to a condo in Daly City, Calif., where he pays the bills. "I decided I want to see whether this stuff really works." So he has swapped out every incandescent bulb in his unit for a CFL.
He even has them in his dining room's chandelier, though it means he can't use the dimmer. Even so, he's pleased with the results. The top swirl of the bulbs sticks out of the lamps, "but I don't care, just as long as I can save energy."
CFL bulbs were invented in 1976 by Ed Hammer, a General Electric engineer. They were a response to the energy crisis of 1973-1974. But his spiral tube design was too expensive to make and too fragile to ship, so GE shelved it.
A more incandescent-like warm white CFL was developed by Phillips in 1982. It wasn't until 1995 that a cost-effective, durable spiral design was introduced. But there were many problems with the original CFLs, making some early adopters swear off them forever.
Besides their unflattering light, they didn't last as long as they do now -- 1,000 hours then, up to 15,000 hours today. They also were more expensive: $10 to $20, compared with as little as $3 today.
Horowitz acknowledges the shortcomings of CFLs but says the congressional mandate to boost efficiency will push manufacturers to keep coming up with better bulbs.
"This is an easy way to address global warming," Drey says. "We all have to participate. That's all there is to it."

Pelosi backs strikes against Syria
Minority leader says this action is much different from Iraq
By Joe Garofoli | September 4, 2013 | Updated: September 4, 2013 6:45pm

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (center) talks with Faryl Ury (left), Square communications spokesperson, during a tour of Square on Wednesday, September 4, 2013 in San Francisco, Calif.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi was one of the fiercest critics of the U.S. decision to invade Iraq, but she said Wednesday that after seeing the intelligence on how the Syrian government allegedly used chemical weapons on its people "this time it's different. This time the intelligence is very clear.
"This is the responsibility of the (Bashar Assad) regime," the Democratic leader said in San Francisco Wednesday, as protesters demonstrated outside her office. "They have acted in a way that I believe is outside the circle of civilized human behavior and that we cannot ignore that if we intend to protect the American people."
Many of her closest California House allies - like Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland - and the state Democratic Party firmly oppose U.S. military action.
So do the majority of Americans, according to several polls. A Washington Post/ABC News poll released this week found that 59 percent of all respondents - including 54 percent of Democrats and 66 percent of independent voters - oppose launching missile strikes at Syria in retaliation for the chemical attacks.
President Obama got a big boost Wednesday with 10-7 approval by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of a resolution authorizing the use of force in Syria. Three Republicans voted no.
Congress remains in recess, so most members are still in their districts, limiting the scope of the war debate. Pelosi doesn't expect the House to vote until next week.
Wednesday's vote was the first to address military action since lawmakers voted in October 2002 to give President George W. Bush authority to invade Iraq.
The resolution authorizes the use of force in Syria, but forbids ground troops and limits operations to 60 days with a possible 30-day extension.
Pelosi's remarks Wednesday were the most powerful yet from the influential House Minority Leader. She recalled being privy to intelligence briefings as senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee more than a decade ago, during the debate preceding the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Then, Pelosi said Wednesday, "the intelligence did not support the threat."
When it was later learned that there weren't any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - the Bush administration's pretext for the U.S. invasion - Pelosi said, "my members were happy that they trusted my judgment."
Democratic opposition
But many of her longtime allies aren't trusting her now. Or at least not yet. Many have issued vague statements praising Obama for seeking congressional input, but have shied away from taking a definitive stand.
Instead, Pelosi finds herself siding with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., in supporting military action.
"I think the difference might be that now she's supporting a Democratic administration, when then (during the Iraq War) it was a Republican administration," said Art Persyko, who organized about 75 antiwar demonstrators in front of Pelosi's office Wednesday.
Pelosi is opposed by some of the more liberal House Democrats, such as her longtime ally Lee, who wants the U.S. to "learn the lessons of the past" from its wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
"We must respond to the heinous use of chemical weapons, but the danger of a military strike and its unintended consequences, including the possibility of further loss of life and the danger of escalated violence in the region, demand that we work with the international community and consider all the alternatives," Lee said.
Limited action
But Pelosi sought to define any such attack not as a war but as a limited military action. Pressed as to what that meant, Pelosi said, "I can't answer to you what the strike would be, but it would be limited, it would be targeted, tailored for the purposes we are talking about, and it would be short in duration."
Pelosi said she is not "whipping up" votes on the issue, but is listening to input from other members.
"It is in our national interest," Pelosi said. "The regional stability of the region is in our national interest. Global security, in relationship to weapons of mass destruction is in our national interest."

Will South Carolina Elect an Indian-American Woman Governor?
9:00 AM, May 15, 2009 • By BRIAN FAUGHNAN
In 2010, South Carolina will elect a new Governor to replace the term-limited Mark Sanford. Today there is a new entrant into the race: America's first Indian-American Republican legislator. Nikki Haley - first elected to the South Carolina statehouse in 2004 - is a 37-year old accountant, and a conservative mother of two. She enters the race with the blessing - though not the formal endorsement - of the popular Governor:
Some question whether South Carolina is ready for a South Asian female governor. But then again, many thought Bobby Jindal couldn't win in Louisiana, and that Sarah Palin could not win in Alaska. Perhaps there's more appetite for smart, young, energetic conservative reformers than some believe.
That said, Haley has a tough road ahead. She has raised less money than some of the other candidates, and she is much less know than the other Republican candidates -- two of whom have been elected statewide.

On-the-job training for medical aides consists of supervised work and training sessions that last a few months. New aides may be assigned a mentor who supervises aides' work and provides feedback. Aspiring medical aides can gain experience by volunteering at medical centers.
Though not required, certification shows that a medical aide's skills meet industry standards. Certification is available through the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA).
Graduating from a medical assisting program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) is prerequisite for AAMA certification. First-time applicants must also provide their college transcripts. The AAMA certification exam is administered by the Certifying Board of the American Association of Medical Assistants. Under the AAMA guidelines, certified medical aides are required to renew their certification every five years.
Certified medical aides can recertify by taking the certification exam again or by completing continuing education. They are also required to maintain CPR certification. CPR certification courses are offered by the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association.

Special Correspondent
VELLORE: The Revenue Divisional Officers (RDOs) would head the Tribunals constituted by the Tamil Nadu government to hear petitions from parents and senior citizens in the respective sub-divisions seeking maintenance from their legal heirs under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007.
According to a release from the Collector of Vellore district, the above Act treats the neglect of parents or senior citizens as a crime. Under the Act, if parents or senior citizens do not have the resources to maintain themselves, they can seek maintenance from their sons, daughters, grand children or other legal heirs (in the case of senior citizens who do not have children). Petitions seeking maintenance from children/legal heirs could be submitted to the RDO. The Tribunal headed by the RDO would hear their petitions. The District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO) has been appointed as the Maintenance Officer and the Mediation Officer under the Act.
If the petitioner so desires, the Maintenance Officer should appear on his/her behalf before the Tribunal and assist him/her. Parents and senior citizens seeking maintenance under the Act could contact the DSWO at the district-level and the social welfare extension officers at the panchayat union level.
The District Collector would be the Appellate Authority under the Act, and would hear appeals against the order of the Tribunal headed by the RDOs. Senior citizens living alone could contact the police station in their jurisdiction for assistance in protecting their properties.
