This special buy is no longer available.
One of the reasons we really like these storage cases is that they have
modular internal bins of various sizes. This design not only lets you
arrange the bins in different configurations but also allows easy access
to their contents – you can lift out a bin and tip the contents
into your palm.
Raised grid lines inside the lid and on the case bottom link with the
bins to help hold them in place during transport, even if one or two are
removed. The clear lid lets you quickly find what you need, and fits snugly
to keep contents from mixing when the case is tipped. Two sliding latches
secure the lid.
Available with either fifteen or seventeen 44mm (1-3/4")
deep bins (see chart for bin dimensions), each stackable case is made
of tough polypropylene and has a molded carrying handle. Overall dimensions
are 335mm x 255mm x 55mm (13-3/16" x 10" x 2-3/16").
Available in pairs, the cases are a great complement to the
Tanos Rack Systainer® (our item #68K45.07) because they are interchangeable
with those the cases that come in it. They are made by the same Danish manufacturer,
and are even an identical shade of light grey.
Having extra cases lets you choose which ones to take for
a particular task. Offer available while supplies last.

Companies in this industry operate physical retail establishments that sell clothing and accessories. Major companies include TJX Companies (TJ Maxx, Marshalls), Gap, and L Brands (all based in the US), along with Hennes & Mauritz (Sweden), Inditex's Zara chain (Spain), and Arcadia Group's Topshop (UK).
Personal income and fashion trends drive demand for clothing. The profitability of individual companies depends heavily on effective merchandising and marketing. Large companies can offer wide selections of clothing and have advantages in purchasing, distribution, and marketing.

The US industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 65 percent of industry revenue.
The clothing retail industry includes stores specializing in women's clothing (50 percent of industry revenue) or men's clothing (20 percent). Stores may also specialize in children's clothing (nearly 10 percent of sales) or accessories. Children's clothing stores include infant wear.

Down Periscope is a 1996 comedy movie starring Kelsey Grammer as the captain of a rust-bucket submarine called the USS Stingray, (referred to as "the USS Rustoleum" by Grammer), who is fighting for his career. Rob Schneider provides comic support as the uptight executive officer, and Lauren Holly costars as the Navy's first female submarine crewmember. The USS Stingray in the movie was filmed on the USS Pampanito, a Balao-class submarine from WWII, now a museum ship and memorial in San Francisco.
Lieutenant Commander Thomas Dodge (Kelsey Grammer), a capable, a somewhat unorthodox U.S. Navy officer, is about to be denied command of his own submarine for a third time because of his questionable history, including a widely known tattoo on his penis reading 'Welcome aboard!' that he got in a bout of drunkenness after the embarrassment caused by a "Murmansk brushing incident" some years prior. He is particularly opposed by Rear Admiral Yancy Graham (Bruce Dern), who dislikes Dodge personally. Failure to secure a command will result in him being dropped from the command program, which he informs his commander, Vice Admiral Dean Winslow (Rip Torn), will lead to his early retirement. Winslow asks Dodge if he is setting terms; Dodge replies that he is merely "respectfully requesting." Winslow manages to convince the Navy to give him a last chance in a wargame to test the Navy's defenses against enemy diesel submarines. For this purpose, Dodge is granted the command over a rusty and outdated Balao-class diesel sub, the USS Stingray, which should simulate a situation with Russian diesel subs sold to terrorists. Winslow gives Dodge the order to "think like a pirate", meaning to disregard the traditional rules of warfare and play by his own discretion. Winslow tells Dodge that if he can win the wargame -- which includes Winslow's giving the Stingray two live torpedoes to sink a mock target in Norfolk harbor -- he will do what he can to get Dodge command of a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine.
Dodge's opponent in the wargame is Admiral Graham, who is overseeing the maneuvers of the ultra-modern submarine USS Orlando, headed by Commander Carl Knox (William H. Macy). Graham, motivated by his dislike for Dodge and his own ambition (he brags that he has never lost a wargame, and that he is in line for a third star), tries to arrange circumstances to make Dodge's mission even more difficult. He handpicks a motley crew for the Stingray consisting mostly of what he considers rejects and failures: hot-tempered Executive Officer Martin Pascal (Rob Schneider), rebellious Engineman 1st Class Brad Stapanek, sharp-eared Sonar Technician 2nd Class E.T. 'Sonar' Lovacelli (Harland Williams), compulsive gambler Seaman Stanley 'Spots' Sylvesterson, shock-prone (and shock-addled) electrician Seaman Nitro (Toby Huss), and the not-so-culinary cook Seaman Buckman. Also, as part of a pilot program instituted by Graham, Lieutenant Emily Lake (Lauren Holly) joins the crew as the Navy's first female diving officer. When Dodge's non-conventional tactics threaten Graham's success, he radios Dodge that the containment area of the exercise has been cut in half, effectively limiting what courses Dodge can take, also reminding him that the Stingray will unconditionally surrender upon being informed of a "shooting solution" (or enemy lock-on) at any time during the wargame.
Using risky and unorthodox strategies to offset their technological disadvantage, Dodge and the Stingray crew manage to evade the Orlando. After Dodge remembers his orders to "think like a pirate" and leaves the modified exercise area, Pascal attempts to relieve Dodge of his command. No one supports Pascal, and Dodge makes him walk the plank into the nets of a flagged-down fishing boat after a mock trial for attempted mutiny. Dodge then makes a final run for Norfolk, attempting to navigate the Stingray between the propellors of a ship heading for the harbor, which would make it impossible for the Orlando to confirm the Stingray's position by sonar. Both the pilot and Lieutenant Lake question Dodge's navigation as the Stingray mistakenly heads directly for one of the screws; after a tense moment, Lake takes her position as diving officer and successfully positions the submarine. Dodge and Lake then talk in his cabin, Lake realizing after the fact that Dodge was purposely steering the boat incorrectly to force her hand. She thanks him for his confidence in her, then kisses him briefly before both are called back to bridge.
Graham by this point has assumed direct command of the Orlando helm and contacted Norfolk harbor, closing it to civilian traffic. With the tanker diverting and the Stingray losing its cover, Dodge, knowing that the Orlando is nearby, heads into the harbor and fires his torpedoes with only a rudimentary shooting solution. Immediately after the second torpedo is away, the Stingray is "pinged"; Graham has accquired a shooting solution and "killed" the Stingray. Dodge radios a response to the Orlando congratulating Graham on the "kill", but informing Graham that the Stingray had already fired two torpedoes, reminding Graham that if the torpedoes successfully impact their target, the Stingray still wins. An enraged Graham can do nothing but wait, and soon both torpedoes find their mark, giving the admiral his first wargame defeat.
Admiral Winslow shows up at the Norfolk docks and is confronted by an irate Graham, who claims that Dodge left the wargame containment area; but Winslow tells Graham that he knows Graham altered the area without being authorized to do so. Graham then tries to say that Dodge had defied his direct order, but Winslow reveals that Dodge was acting under his direct orders, which took precedence over Graham's. He also tells Graham that because of his actions, he "can forget about that third star."
Winslow congratulates Dodge on a job well done and tells him that because of his impressive performance, he will not get a Los Angeles-class submarine; instead he will be given a brand-new Seawolf-class submarine, and a "proper crew". Dodge hesitates for a moment before telling Winslow that he would have to decline the posting unless he could take his current crew along to the new sub, saying that without them he wouldn't have been able to win the game. A bemused Winslow again asks Dodge if he is setting terms, with Dodge again saying that he is only "resepectfully requesting." Winslow then points out that at least Dodge was able to make a decent sailor out of his son, Stepanak, who had enlisted under his mother's name to avoid any accusations of nepotism. As the crew breaks up for leave, Lake asks Dodge the story behind "this tattoo I keep hearing about", and as they walk off, Dodge can be heard beginning to tell her about the Murmansk brushing incident.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The NC State volleyball team opened its season on Friday with 3-0 sweep overJacksonville in the opening round of the Hampton Inn & Suites West AshleyInvitational at the College of Charleston's TD Arena.

"I thought we played pretty well," Bunn said. "We cut down on our errors and played pretty good defense.
"We have to slow things down some and make sure we don't make careless mistakes."
The Pack opened with a 25-14 first set win, led by junior middle blocker Meredith Richardson's accurate hitting, who had nine kills in the opening frame.
State followed with a 25-16 win in the second set, as both Richardson and junior Brie Merriwether played well in the middle. Merriwether had three blocks in the first two sets.
The Pack closed out the quick contest by matching the score in the opening set, 25-14, to get the season off to a 1-0 start.
Richardson finished the match with a career-high 13 kills, three blocks, a .500 attack average and 14.5 points. She wasn't the Wolfpack'sonly top performer, as Merriwether finished with seven kills, a .538 attack average, a team-high five blocks and 9.5 points.
Sophomore Nikki Glass had 10 digs to go with her six kills and senior setter Megan Cyr had 29 assists.

text: Pindar van Arman started his presentation of Zanelle http://www.zanelle.com/ yesterday with a question that I felt familiar with: What's missing in all those robots like Asimo? What is it that makes them ultimately not human like even though they walk on two legs, play ball and talk to people? Pindar's approach is to teach Zanelle a very human skill: creative production, painting. A couple of years ago I explored the same question but the outcome was very different: I felt that the key was purpose. Humans haven't been "built" for a particular purpose - we pursue our own goals in a social context. Together with a couple of friends from http://www.timesup.org I set out to build a self sufficient robot. The result was the bar bot: a robot that hangs out in a bar, scrounging money from patrons and ordering a beer when there's enough in its (his, her?) pocket. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xypy61_GB_c This project is partly a challenge to humanoid robotics (think: a mouse trying to piss on an elephant's leg) and partly a comment on the pursuit of happiness in bars (I drink and socialize, therefore I am) and certainly not to be taken entirely serious. Still: I think two very important aspects of the ultimate humanoid robot are - independent purpose and social interaction. And I might add: the thing needs to have a frickin face :) Don't underestimate animism. It was my first dorkbot dc yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed it, see you all soon again, Alex

Six Okies get the bends
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Loosely planned. Finely executed. No flats or broken bones. One citation. Good food. Good beer. Good weather. Good times.
Six Okies from the Tulsa area headed down to Big Bend Texas for a 5-day trip. We hauled 5+1 bikes in a trailer and Dodge, respectively, and hauled some bodies in a borrowed Mazda.
The players:
Jerry (aka Fotobo, WR250R)
Rick (aka Dirt2007, 950SE)
Ralph (aka Jumpjet, DRZ SM/S)
Tom (aka Tomski74, DR650)
Brian (aka Newner, green KLR650)
myself (aka DirtyDog, black KLR650)
The plan:
Day 1- drive 750 miles to Big Bend National Park
Day 2- ride
Day 3- ride
Day 4- ride
Day 5- drive 750 miles to Tulsa
The drive South was uneventful aside from getting pulled over and accused of bike theivery. We rolled into Cottonwood Campground at 3:30 am.
Sunrise came quickly and we feasted on breakfast burritoes before heading out into the dust. Our plan to ride one day in Mexico was thwarted by the US Passport system (and possible processing delays due to the blizzards?). I was the only one lacking a passport. Despite my urges that I would have ditched any one of my compadres to ride in Mexico, they insisted on unity and we scrapped the international component. This left Day 2 as a wander-fest. We stared at the topo maps a bit and just headed out. Managed to turn it into a 130 mile day and we were all a bit beat from little sleep.
We rode river road, Black Gap road, made a stop at the hot springs for a soak, and headed back to camp.
The group got separated for a while on Black Gap when Rick took a fall and attempted to disassemble his KTM. He boogered his foot in the process, so we're lucky he was ok.
Tom waits and watches for our stragglers.
We all survived Black Gap and headed into Panther (aka Pampers) Junction for fuel and respite. It was nearly 90 degrees by then.
Newner's chain needed some adjustment.
Group pic.
Then we stopped at the hot springs before slabbing back to camp.
The ladies were impressed.
Just the necessities for desert survival.
Day 1 was mild, but fulfilling.
Carnage pics of Rick's foot.
Didn't ruin our appetites. We paired into teams to handle the cooking duties. Each pair planned a dinner and a breakfast. We typically had lunch on the trail. First night was newner and myself. We made grilled chicken, corn on the cob, and beans. It was good.
Wildlife sightings. The javelina smelled it too and came out of the woods for a taste.
The rest of the night was spent telling lies, drinking beer and tequila. We had great plans for tomorrow.
Day 3 coming soon...
"This place fucking runs on beer, you buy the right person a beer, and you get a job, a blow, a place to sleep, whatever.
You're hot, cold, thirsty, hungry... beer will fix that.
Beer is a god damn miracle, and don't you forget it!"

We will ride again. Figure I need at least a week to let these ribs heal up, friend of mine cracked a joke at lunch and thought I was gonna die when I laughed
Stay tuned for the next episode
I'd guess that the Austineers have plenty of good stuff to ride right in their back yard so....maybe not quite as interested in commuting to a ride farther north......But....some of them,like me...have probably memorized most of the good stuff by riding it so much & might want a change now & then.I'm the same way about some of the roads around here at times...& have to expand my horizions.That's why I've started to venture off the pavement more & more....Kinda fills in the gaps in my maps.

Glee Christmas: [Spoiler] to Help Kurt and Blaine Grow Closer!
Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) finally spoke to one another during Glee's "Thanksgiving" episode, but these two could still use some help in restoring their friendship. Luckily, someone will in fact be helping Kurt and Blaine attempt to regain what they once had!
During Season 4, Episode 8: "Thanksgiving," Kurt calls Blaine for the first time since Blaine cheated, and he tells his ex that they can walk toward patching up their friendship over Christmas. Luckily for us, Christmas arrives early on Glee!
In tonight's Season 4 Christmas episode: "Glee, Actually" we'll be seeing Kurt spending time with his dad, Burt (Mike O'Malley) — and it looks like Burt might help Klaine reconcile further. Burt will be "possibly playing a huge role in pushing Kurt and Blaine back together, even if just as friends," according to E! Online.
Woo hoo! Frankly, we're excited just to see Burt again at all, but the fact that he'll be helping Kurt and Blaine make peace means we love him even more. When it comes to bringing people together, Burt is like Glee's very own Jimmy Carter.

CenturyLink Man of the Match vs. San Jose Earthquakes: Danny Mwanga
The first time the Portland TImbers played the San Jose Earthquakes this season, Danny Mwanga scored a goal.
On Wednesday night, having not started in over a month, Mwanga improved on that agains San Jose with a brace. Scoring at the end of the first half on a nifty give-and-go with Rodney Wallace, Mwanga followed that up with an absolute laser in the second half. His second goal was due in no small part to the near 40-yard run that Franck Songo'o took with the ball blowing past defenders before laying it off to an onrushing Mwanga.
Despite the heroics of this trio and the solid play of David Horst and Jack Jewsbury, San Jose came back to draw 2-2. Nevertheless, the Timbers remain unbeaten in MLS against San Jose and a large part of that is due to the goal scoring abilities of Mr. Danny Mwanga.

OPP 'Citizen Self Reporting' lets you report crime online
ORILLIA — Police are going high-tech with reporting your non-emergency crime from your computer or smartphone.
The Ontario Provincial Police say they have made another move to "improve efficiency" within one of the largest deployed police services in North America.
This week the OPP unveils a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer.
"Citizen Self Reporting" will offer the public another way to report select incidents, which are not an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience.
Const. Chrystal Jones, OPP media relations officer at Orillia, told TODAILY that the system is active as of Monday.
She said you have to go to the OPP's public Internet portal www.opp.ca to log on and send a message.
You can't just text your crime, says Jones, but if you have a smartphone, iPad or tablet you can easily connect that way.
And she explained it's very simple, walking TODAILY through the website, which includes a map to let you contact the nearest appropriate local OPP detachment.
The OPP says it is one of several Ontario police services who have adopted an Internet-based crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched.
Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, a suspect or evidence are applicable. An officer will attend if requested by the complainant.
They say, in a release, that they expect that Citizen Self Reporting will be "beneficial to both the public and the police. It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers to focus their efforts on other enforcement and crime prevention strategies within our communities.
"By providing people with another option for reporting crimes, the OPP is hopeful that more incidents will be reported, resulting in the collection of information to develop future crime prevention initiatives."
To access the system, go to opp.ca.
The OPP can be contacted toll free anytime at 1-888-310-1122.

In Redirect, Timothy D. Wilson argues that psychological change can be brought about by editing the narratives we use to make sense of the world
DO YOU think that airing your feelings right away will help you through trauma? Are you persuaded that bringing kids to prisons will scare them straight? Convinced that costly, intensive long-term interventions are needed to close the achievement gap in education, curb alcohol abuse and reduce teen pregnancies?
Think again, says psychologist Timothy Wilson. At the heart of his book Redirect: The surprising new science of psychological change is the conviction that many favoured approaches to changing behaviour are akin to "bloodletting" and may do more harm than good. Armed with the tools of experimental social psychology, he argues we can move beyond these untested, "common-sense" views and begin to make some real progress.
Central to Wilson's perspective is the idea that our interpretations of ...

'That '70s Show' arrest: Lisa Robin Kelly is assault suspect - Husband is alleged victimAdd to Favorites | That '70s Show
Lisa Robin Kelly, a former star of "That '70s Show," has been arrested for assaulting a man reported to be her husband. The "That 70s Show" arrest occurred in North Carolina, and no drugs or alcohol were said to be involved.
TMZ obtained a copy of the arrest's police report, which says that Kelly and a 61-year-old man were arrested "following a violent incident at their home in which they allegedly assaulted each other." The man has been identified as Kelly's husband. Both are still in police custody.
This isn't the first time Kelly has had abuse charges leveled against her. She was arrested on a felony spousal abuse charge earlier this year, but charges were eventually dropped. The mug shot pictured in this article is from that arrest. Kelly also pled guilty to a DUI in 2010 and was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation.
Kelly is best known for playing Laurie Forman, the older sister of Eric Forman in "That 70s Show."

Site Title :
After worked years as a private investor in the property and stock markets, which I still do, I found out that American seniors need reliable and independent information about the reverse mortgage loans, about their pros and cons. And that this information must be told with a street man`s language, without the typical marketing jargon, which the big companies usually use. The market of the reverse mortgage loans has increased it`s popularity dramatically during the recent years. However, seniors are often very confused about the public information and advertising texts about the reverse mortgage loans. When I am not writing or researching the reverse mortgage loans market, I am an enthusiastic cyclist, some times golfer, and I strongly believe, that the fresh thoughts will be to your advantage, my dear reader.

Madison, Wis., Gala Goes Vegas for CF Foundation
November 17, 2006
On November 10, guests enjoyed an evening of good luck at the Vegas-style casino during the Wisconsin Chapter - Madison Office's 2nd annual Breath of Life Gala, held at Monona Terrace in Madison, Wis. The evening began with cocktails on the Grand Terrace overlooking Lake Monona and ended with an extraordinary $100,000 raised on behalf on the CF Foundation.
Dr. Philip Farrell, Dean of the Medical College at the University of Wisconsin, began the Bid for a Cure presentation with an update on the latest CF research. Betsey Day, a CF mother, followed with her own inspiring speech, describing her son's daily routine that includes therapies that would not have been possible without the Foundation's support. Committed to funding more science, guests generously began bidding at $25,000. During the Bid for a Cure portion alone, donations totaled nearly $72,000.
Special thanks go to event co-chairs Jim Hegenbarth, Betsey Day, Tonia King and Catherine Decker for their leadership and vision. Corporate sponsors included Park Bank, Widen Enterprises, Lee & Associates, University of Wisconsin Hospitals, Hausmann Johnson Insurance, Wegner CPA's, Novartis TOBI Foundation, GlaxoSmithKline, Eragen Biosciences and Virchow Krause.

NIDILRR's Unique Role
Across NIDILRR's agenda, the central focus is on the whole person with a disability, whose ability to function and quality of life are dependent on the complex interactions among personal, societal, and environmental factors. (p.20)
NIDILRR plays a unique role in that its target population includes all disability types and all age groups.While other federal research entities fund prevention, cure, and acute rehabilitation research, NIDILRR also invests in rehabilitation research that is tied more closely to longer-term outcomes, such as independence, community participation, and employment (p.20)
NIDILRR's Mission
NIDILRR's mission is to:
- Generate new knowledge and promote its effective use to improve the abilities of people with disabilities to perform activities of their choice in the community, and also to
- Expand society's capacity to provide full opportunities and accommodations for its citizens with disabilities.
NIDILRR's History
As a result of the Rehabilitation, Comprehensive Services, and Developmental Disabilities amendments of 1978 (P.L. 95-602), which amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the National Institute on Handicapped Research (NIHR) was created.
NIHR was charged with the prime responsibility of providing the required knowledge for defining needs, and of identifying the means for improving services to individuals with disabilities. NIHR was the result of intense effort by voluntary agencies of and for persons with disabilities, Congress, and the administration of the time.
According to Leclair (1979), the original goal of NIHR was to focus in one agency a strong commitment to carry on a major program of research on all aspects of disability and the attendant socio-economic implications of the problems encountered by individuals with disabilities (p. 1).
The scope of activities prescribed for NIHR was all encompassing and cut across practically every facet of rehabilitation and habilitation research activities imaginable, with no limitations in terms of type of disability, age, or intended goals. (Leclair, 1979; p.1). Finally NIHR was created, not to duplicate services but rather to ensure that NIHR could proceed with "full authority if research programs were found inadequate or non-existent in a specific area of concern (Leclair, 1979; p. 1).
NIHR retained most of the programs originally conducted by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) such as the Rehabilitation Engineering Centers (RECs), the Research and Training Centers (RTC), and the array of discrete psycho-social, vocational, and medical project grants that RSA and its predecessors had been conducting, in one form or other, since 1935.
Some new initiatives and changes that NIHR spear-headed included but were not limited to:
- Research that improved the rehabilitation and habilitation of children with disabilities as well as older Americans with disabilities;
- Conduct of model research and training centers on innovative programs and techniques for evaluating, training, and placing individuals with disabilities in productive work.
- Conduct of a research program to determine ways to train and retain rehabilitation professionals to serve in rural areas
- Development and implementation of a public education program, based on research results, to inform the public about the needs, concerns and problems of individuals with disabilities including information relating to family care, self-care, and preventative aspects of rehabilitation and habilitation
- Establishment of a program to improve the development, evaluation, production, and distribution of technological systems and devices that could improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities
- Development, in conjunction with other federal agencies, of statistical reports on the employment, health, income, and other demographic characteristics of individuals with disabilities
- The conduct of projects by private profit-making organizations, non-profit public entities as well with universities
Adapted from Leclair, R. R. (1979). National Institute on Handicapped Research (NIHR): A giant step for expanded rehabilitation research. Bulletin of Prosthetics Research, 10(32), 1-6.
In 1986, again as a result of amendments to the Rehabilitation Act, NIHR would become known as the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Since its initial creation as NIHR in 1978, and its name change and expansion to NIDRR in 1986, NIDRR's basic purpose and reason for being has not changed much. Expressed using updated terminology to reflect current times, NIDRR's mission still remains to generate new knowledge and to promote its effective use to improve the abilities of people with disabilities to perform activities of their choice in the community. NIDRR still sponsors research and development in broad outcome domains of health and function, employment, and participation and community living. And ultimately NIDRR still remains committed to expanding society's capacity to provide full opportunities and accommodations for its citizens with disabilities
And now, with the passage of the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act, NIDRR has a new home in the Administration for Community Living within the Department of Human Services as well as a new name--the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).

The Zimbabwe Women's Resource Centre and Network has urged women to be part of organisations that lobby for their participation and contribution in the budget processes to avoid situations where they complain that they were not consulted on certain issues.
Speaking during a discussion with women at a "Womenomics" Dialogues held in Harare last week, ZWRCN executive director Mrs Naome Chimbetete said women cannot take part in the budget process individually, but as a group as they were the only ones who can say what they want and how they want it done.
"We cannot let men do the planning and budgeting for us, we need to be active in the processes and really come together and make our voices heard, but we need to do that as a group instead of individuals, because there is power in numbers," she said.
She added that women have been disadvantaged by the lack of knowledge on how the budget comes about hence they have not been fully participating in the process.
"Women need to be educated so that they know how they can be part of the budget. We need to begin at grassroots level so that each woman knows how she can contribute to the economic growth of the country and how they can make their concerns heard and considered in the budget," Mrs Chimbetete said.
Women have expressed the need to educate each other on the dissemination of information so that they understand what the budget allocation to their sector means and how they can make the funds available work to their best advantage.
"For anyone to make a meaningful contribution, it has to be within a specific sector. It is important therefore to have sector-specific dialogues so that women know how to progress within their sector and be able to access funds to finance their businesses," Mrs Chimbetete said.

Sneak Peek: R&B Divas LA – Season 2 New Cast; Welcome Chrisette Michelle & Leela James To The Show
I remember watching R&B Divas LA thinking this show is going to be positive, but shortly into the season I learned why the word Divas appears in the title. Kelly Price and her attitude caused so much friction among the cast. So it's no surprise that she's not returning this season. Kelly Price has some serious PR damage control to do to repair her image. And then there's Dawn Robinson, who can't manage to stay in any group, so we knew she wouldn't be staying on this show with this group of women for too long. Dawn didn't even attend the reunion special last season.
Premiering July 16 on TV One, R&B Divas LA is back with new faces, Chrisette Michelle and Leela James. I love Chrisette Michelle's music, so I'm hoping this baby doesn't turn out to be a thirst seeker. I wouldn't be able to handle it. Also returning this season are veterans Claudette Ortiz, Michel'le, and Ms. Chante Moore. Check out the trailer below for a sneak peek of the season:

I was most interested in the articles about post-mortems, particularly the assertion that an opt-out scheme in Austria, Sweden and Switzerland resulted in a much higher autopsy rate than the "compulsory in some circumstances only" system operated in Britain and the US (2 February, p 16).
I would like to draw your attention to the website www.autopsychoice.com, which has been advocating such a system for over a year. The site is polling visitors and displaying the results, and it also has links to government materials.
I am confident that the introduction of an opt-out scheme that gives individuals the freedom to express an absolute veto would improve the social standing and working conditions of pathologists. Instead of being seen as ghoulish butchers compelled by law, they would be seen as, and indeed be, professionals performing a service for the deceased and their relatives.

Bin sweep issue still unresolvedFARGO, N.D. — Grain elevator operators are operating in a gray area by using automated bin sweeps, which are common in the industry, according to an expert on employee safety law.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
FARGO, N.D. — Grain elevator operators are operating in a gray area by using automated bin sweeps, which are common in the industry, according to an expert on employee safety law.
The issue has been in limbo since 2008, when an insurance company sent a letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, requesting an interpretation on how employers can have employees in grain bins while a sweep auger is energized and working, says Eric Conn, a Washington, D.C., attorney, speaking to the North Dakota Grain Dealers annual convention last week.
Initially, OSHA said it was OK if there were adequate precautions in place to prevent employees from contacting the moving parts of the sweep auger, Conn says.
A follow-up request for an interpretation from the Obama administration came back less favorable and quite confusing, Conn says. "Basically they said employees can't be in a bin with an energized, unguarded sweep auger. They basically said that 'all points' had to be guarded, even the points doing the job. But if it's guarded it's not going to sweep, it's not going to do its job. Basically, the interpretation is that the employee can't be in the bin at all when you have an energized sweep auger. This has huge practical and economic consequences."
Companies and associations are working to clarify this and get it changed, Conn says. "Right now, that is the active, formal interpretation of the agency. You have to be careful how you manage this situation. There are cases where citations have been issued and challenged."
Maryland's state safety inspection agency recently found that it was legal to continue allowing sweep augers to work. "If you had a good guard in place, and had a good administrative program in place," those employees could be in the bin as long as they are "kept out of the zone of danger."
"Right now the federal interpretation of OSHA is contrary to that, and different than how the industry has operated for years," Conn said.

****Blue Cheese Pizza****
Hi All,
I know this is not all that exciting, But as a newbie everytime i fire up is so cool,,, Last night I made a pizza with blue cheese, It was incredible.. You really have to like blue cheese as its a strong taste.. also made pepperoni and hot dog for toppings,, For dessert we made a nutella pizza. You make a regular dough, (flat and round) spread the nutella which is a chocolate hazelnut spread the fold the two sides over the middle kind of like a calzone. That was incredibly tasty as well. Since my oven has been cooking, I have eaten pizza for 6 nights now and not even close to being tired of it. Im thinking a outting a fire pit near it so i can be out there cooking well into the fall and maybe some of winter. has anyone tried roasting a pig in theirs yet ?
Does anyone have some other recommended good toppings ?
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
Blue cheese has lots of potential! Some ideas...
Quattro formaggio is a classic - mascarpone, blue cheese, mozz, and parme in roughly equal amounts - they meld into a whole new food group! (NOTE: NO red sauce, just cheese!)
Caramelized onions, blue cheese and walnuts is a great semi-savory dessert pizza.
Ditto caramelized onions, blue cheese, figs, and bacon or pancetta.
I find it is best to use dabs of blue cheese so some bites have more and some less. (true of most combo pizzas IMO).
Prosciutto or serrano ham with fontina and grilled asparagus/artichoke hearts (choose one) with a touch of parme.
I really like guanciale (hog cheek) but it can be hard to get but you probably can in NJ. very simple pizza - very thinly sliced guanciale (shaved!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a touch of parme. It's pork heaven on a slice!
Browse through the forum and you will find LOTS of ideas!
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
There's a local pizza joint in Philly out near the airport that makes a killer "Buffalo Chicken" pizza. They use some sort of thickened ranch dressing, Blue cheese and shredded chicken breast marinaded in spicy buffalo wing sauce.
Yummy! (if you like that sort of thing)
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
I mandolin slice really thinly some yukon gold potatoes and marinade them in some herb olive oil for about 30 minutes. On a skin I put a small amount of a parm garlic white sauce (literally a TB or 2 so on a whole 14" dough) spread the potatoes out like pepperoni and then top with a either gorgonzola or a blue cheese. This has become by far one of my most popular pizzas, if I am at an party and make a total of 30 pizzas, I will do between 8-10 of these.
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
Can you tell us more about the "parm garlic white sauce" and "herb olive oil"? I'd like to give it a try and need to know what too use! Do you make these two items yourself or buy them?
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
Ken - I use the Herb Oil recipe in Peter Reinhart's American Pie book which is a great read if you want a good book on pizzas. As for the parm garlic sauce, my wife makes that and unfortunately there is no recipe because she refuses to write it down. I know she uses butter, flour, milk, garlic, parmesan. the next time she makes it I will try to estimate by looking over her shoulder.
I hate to even admit this, but I have also in a pinch opened a jar of white Ragu or other brand of off the shelf sauce and with a few quick additions of fresh garlic or a bit of grated cheese, most people probably don't even know. The key if doing that is using it sparingly and not too thick on the pizza at least for my palate, too much of the plastic fake sauce and it really stands out so try to just sneak it in if needed in a pinch.
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
I recently bought American Pie, so I'll look up the recipe. Thanks!!
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
Great sounding recipe, Ken... (potato/parme sauce pizza)
I occasionally make Reinhart's potato foccacia and OOH-LA-LA it is amazing and truly blows people away. Have you tried it? It is so great I will definitely do your pizza!
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
actually I got the idea for the pizza after taking a class from Reinhart at Ramekins last year. We made the foccacia in class and I thought it was so good, it has to work on a pizza...and it does!
Re: ****Blue Cheese Pizza****
I recently tried Stilton on a pizza - great taste but we got a lot of "oil" out of it. Maybe I need to go thinner on the slices?
Goats cheese is great too - but doesn't really melt so you need to have some mozz in there as well.

Swim and Dive 2nd at Big Tens
Feb. 22, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Senior Lindsay Vrooman won her second B1G title in the 1,650 freestyle, sophomore Brooklynn Snodgrass led a 1-2-3-4 finish in the 200 backstroke and freshman Gia Dalesandro smashed the Big Ten Record in the 200 butterfly as the Hoosiers placed second at the 2014 Big Ten Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Minn.
Minnesota won its third-straight title with a score of 760. The Hoosiers followed with 649 points as Penn State (484), Ohio State (374) and Michigan (361) rounded out the top five.
Vrooman defended her Big Ten title in the 1,650 freestyle with a time of 15:55.20. That is the fourth-fastest time in school history, giving Vrooman all four top times. Haley Lips took seventh with her career best of 16:18.51.Madelon Webb cut 10 seconds off her personal best to finish 19th in 16:32.31. Stephanie Marchuk was 21st in 16:35.79.
The 200 backstroke was an all-Indiana affair as the Hoosiers had five of the eight slots in the championship final. Snodgrass paced a 1-2-3-4 IU finish with a time of 1:51.43, a career best and the third-fastest time in IU history. Allie Day finished second in 1:54.67, followed by Cynthia Pammett in third (1:55.20) and Justine Ress fourth (1:55.27). Dorina Szekeres placed seventh in a time of 1:56.30.
Shelby Carroll put up a time of 1:57.20 in the consolation final to finish 12th overall. Grace Padget took 24th after swimming the bonus final in 2:04.91.
Kait Flederbach added her name to the IU record book yet again, clocking a 48.54 to finish third in the 100 free, the fastest time in school history. In prelims she put up the third-fastest time on record for IU with a 48.86. Stephanie Armstrong went 50.30 to finish 28th. Audrey Scott put up a career best in heat two, finishing in 53.18, which was good for 84th.
Bronwyn Pasloski capped her Big Ten career with a lifetime best in the 200 breaststroke, finishing third in 2:09.69. In prelims she took second in her heat and qualified third overall for the championship final with a time of 2:11.14. Swimming together in heat three, Claudia DiCapua and Rachel Thompson both put up career marks with Di Capua coming in at 2:20.31, and Thompson at 2:20.54. Di Capua finished 30th overall, with Thompson 33rd.
Dalesandro posted her second school butterfly record of the meet with a 1:53.95 in the 200 fly championship final. That topped the previous Big Ten record by nearly a second and is an NCAA automatic qualifying time. Her prelim mark of 1:55.29 is the third fastest in IU history.
Brenna MacLean picked up a bronze medal with her time of 1:56.84, an NCAA B cut. Freshman Olivia Barker made her first Big Ten championship final, finishing fifth in 1:57.47. She went a career best 1:57.14 in prelims. Bailey Pressey finished third in the B final and 11th overall with her career best of 1:58.24.
Kate Hillman took home the silver medal in the platform diving competition as she tallied a career-best score of 322.25 for best ever finish at the Big Ten Championships.
In the 400 freestyle relay nightcap, Flederbach, Pammett, Armstrong and Snodgrass took fourth by topping their own school record by 2/100ths of a second with a 3:16.70.
Dalesandro was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the second-straight freshman of the year award for a Hoosier, with Snodgrass winning it in 2013. Flederbach, Pasloski, Snodgrass and Vrooman joined Dalesandro on the All-Big Ten first team.
Earning All-Big Ten second team honors were Day, Hillman, Lips and Pammett.
A group of Hoosiers will return to the University of Minnesota March 20-22 for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

Sports Car of the Year: M135i vs Boxster
Two cars divided opinion so much that they required one last test. Stand back, and release The Stig...
Posted: 11 Jan 2013
Of course, it looks like we're making the mistake of comparing fish with horses: one car is a two-seat, mid-engined sports car with natural aspiration and a decidedly slinky demeanor, the other is a slightly frumpy hatchback with a big turbo motor and four seats. But look more closely. They're both reasonably sized, rear-wheel drive, six-cylinder, premium cars that hit 62mph from rest in the fives. They both comfortably exceed 150mph, and are aimed at the kind of person that - while they enjoy driving - also sees the value in day-to-day utility with a dash of quality. Real-world cars for real people. While The Stig is continuing his assessment, I decide to chase him. He's left me with the BMW, so I fire up the 3.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged straight-six and follow him out.

Multan (central Pakistan) at 9pm yesterday
People were burnt alive, Billion of rupees worth of private property was looted or destroyed. I have been waiting since then to see even one so called national leader come forward and condemn these acts. That's the tragedy of Pakistan. We don't have even a single national leader. They are all lilliputian, so small in there stature that they can't be seen outside of there protective cocoons.
wat r all going to do about it dont allof yall go to jail for doing that stuff
For three days Proporties were looted Cars Trucks were burnt Factories where works were bus in prducingin goods were set on fire and the worst part is Kidnaping women while going back from work.
These ino0cent people
who were killed to achive there plotical moptive were not given the status of SHEED because they were not plotical celeberties

Metastasis (Greek: displacement, μετά=next + στάσις=placement, plural: metastases), sometimes abbreviated mets, is the spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part. Only malignant tumor cells and infections have the capacity to metastasize. Metastatic disease is a synonym of metastasis.
Cancer cells can "break away", "leak", or "spill" from a primary tumor, enter lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and settle down to grow within normal tissues elsewhere in the body. Metastasis is one of three hallmarks of malignancy (contrast benign tumors). Most tumors and other neoplasms can metastasize, although in varying degrees (e.g., glioma and basal cell carcinoma rarely metastasize).
When tumor cells metastasize, the new tumor is called a secondary or metastatic tumor, and its cells are like those in the original tumor. This means, for example, that, if breast cancer metastasizes to the lung, the secondary tumor is made up of abnormal breast cells, not of abnormal lung cells. The tumor in the lung is then called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer.
For example, breast tumor cells, which gather calcium ions from breast milk, metastasize to bone tissue, where they can gather calcium ions from bone. Malignant melanoma spreads to the brain, presumably because neural tissue and melanocytes arise from the same cell line in the embryo.
Cancer cells may spread to lymph nodes (regional lymph nodes) near the primary tumor.This is called nodal involvement, positive nodes, or regional disease. Localized spread to regional lymph nodes near the primary tumor is not normally counted as metastasis, although this is a sign of worse prognosis.Transport through lymphatics is the most common pathway for the initial dissemination of carcinomas.
In addition to the above routes, metastasis may occur by direct seeding, e.g., in the peritoneal cavity or pleural cavity.
Cancer researchers studying the conditions necessary for cancer metastasis have discovered that one of the critical events required is the growth of a new network of blood vessels, called tumor angiogenesis. It has been found that angiogenesis inhibitors would therefore prevent the growth of metastases.
The use of immunohistochemistry has permitted pathologists to give an identity to many of these metastases. However, imaging of the indicated area only occasionally reveals a primary. In rare cases (e.g., of melanoma), no primary tumor is found, even on autopsy. It is therefore thought that some primary tumors can regress completely, but leave their metastases behind.
The cells in a metastatic tumor resemble those in the primary tumor. Once the cancerous tissue is examined under a microscope to determine the cell type, a doctor can usually tell whether that type of cell is normally found in the part of the body from which the tissue sample was taken.
For instance, breast cancer cells look the same whether they are found in the breast or have spread to another part of the body. So, if a tissue sample taken from a tumor in the lung contains cells that look like breast cells, the doctor determines that the lung tumor is a secondary tumor. Still, the determination of the primary tumor can often be very difficult, and the pathologist may have to use several adjuvant techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization), and others. Despite the use of techniques, in some cases the primary tumor remains unidentified.
Metastatic cancers may be found at the same time as the primary tumor, or months or years later. When a second tumor is found in a patient that has been treated for cancer in the past, it is more often a metastasis than another primary tumor.
When cancer has metastasized, it may be treated with radiosurgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, hormone therapy, surgery or a combination of these. The choice of treatment generally depends on the type of primary cancer, the size and location of the metastasis, the patient's age and general health, and the types of treatments used previously. In patients diagnosed with CUP, it is still possible to treat the disease even when the primary tumor cannot be located.
The treatment options currently available are rarely able to cure metastatic cancer, though some tumors, such as those found in testicular cancer, are usually still curable.

The Lusaka provincial constitutional convention has adopted the preamble declaring Zambia as a Christian Nation.
However, the Muslim community is not pleased with this after failing to convince pushing delegates to support the preferred declaration of Zambia as a multi-religious state.
The delegates extensively debated the clause until it was subjected to a vote where it received massive votes in affirmation.
Some delegates also suggested the change of the National Anthem to make it more gender sensitive but the idea was frown upon and dismissed by the majority.
In Chipata, the constitutional conference has adopted the duo citizenship clause and upheld the death penalty.
The final three provincial constitutional conference are currently underway in Lusaka, Eastern and Southern provinces.

Could a small dose of genetic information cure complacency about weight loss and exercise? That's the suggestion made by a new study of how information from "personal genomics" companies has influenced their customers.
David Kaufman of the Genetics and Public Policy Center in Washington DC quizzed 1048 customers who had ordered genome scans from Decode Genetics of Reykjavik, Iceland, 23andMe of Mountain View, California, or Navigenics, based in Foster City, California.
Asked about changes in their behaviour between two and six months after receiving the results, 34 per cent of respondents said they were being more careful about their diet, 14 per cent said they were doing more exercise, and 16 per cent had changed their medications or dietary supplements.
"I was surprised at the number of people who said they'd made changes already," says Kaufman, who revealed the results this week at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in Washington DC.
That's impressive because getting people to adopt more healthy lifestyles is notoriously difficult – even when family history shows a high risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart attacks.
Right thing, wrong reasons?
But responses to genetic information may be out of proportion to its actual predictive value. For most common diseases, the genome scans available now explain relatively little about your future risks. In the case of type 2 diabetes, for example, diet and exercise play a greater role in risk than genetics does, and the DNA variants discovered so far explain only a small proportion of the disease's heritability.
Even so, if genetic information has a disproportionate effect in getting people to heed advice that they should be following anyway, that could be a strong force for improving public health.
David Marrero, a specialist in diabetes prevention at Indiana University in Indianapolis, says he is impressed by reported changes in behaviour, but adds, "The question is how long it is sustained."
Early adopters
Kaufman hopes to run follow-up studies to address that question. Another important issue is whether genetic information will be similarly motivating when it moves outside the self-selecting group who now purchase genome scans and becomes part of mainstream medical practice.
Toby Jayaratne, a specialist in health behaviour at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, worries that some people will adopt a fatalistic attitude if told that they have a genetic predisposition to a particular disease, and become less likely to act to improve their health. This is more likely among poor and socially disadvantaged people, she adds.
Customers of personal genomics firms are typically relatively wealthy and well-educated. The same is true of those who have joined academic studies of the effects of providing genetic information on health behaviour. "They tend to be people who are highly motivated health-seekers and science geeks," says Barbara Bernhardt of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, who has conducted detailed interviews with 60 volunteers in the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative, a pioneering effort to study the medical value of genetic information.
Risk judgements
Bernhardt's findings, also revealed at the ASHG meeting, suggest that people tend to focus mainly on whether their genetic risks for each condition are higher or lower than average, rather than paying close attention to the size of those risks. This means that people might be paying undue attention to risks that are not actually significantly elevated.
Kaufman, meanwhile, has found that a minority of his respondents misunderstand the "relative risk" figures provided by personal genomics firms, particularly when the risks are below average – a relative risk of 0.8, for instance, indicates that the person tested is 20 per cent less likely to develop a condition than a typical member of the same population.
However, despite these glitches, he finds little evidence that people are misinterpreting genetic information in ways that might be dangerous to their health. Those who said they had changed medications, for instance, had overwhelmingly done so in consultation with their doctor.
"We don't give people enough credit to people's abilities to decide what's useful to them," Kaufman suggests. "People who get their data are generally pleased with it, and they respond in generally positive ways."

Web host Rackspace has launched an invitation-only MySQL Cloud Database private beta program for US customers.
Historically, customers running relational databases in the cloud have suffered from poor and inconsistent performance as a result of the limitations inherited from the underlying hardware virtualization platform. These constraints are common across most infrastructure providers, including Rackspace.
For example, with virtualized disks, there is extra overhead for each operation against the database. While there have been advances to alleviate some of these constraints, this overhead continues to limit the performance of I/O intensive applications running in the cloud. Other providers have dealt with this limitation by creating custom database storage engines that operate directly in memory. This approach has great benefits in terms of availability and scalability, but often sacrifices referential integrity or compatibility with your existing applications.
Rackspace has taken a fundamentally different approach to solving this problem by eliminating the overhead of traditional virtualization platforms and utilizing a container-based solution to provide a high performance MySQL relational database service. This solution provides resource isolation and allows you to quickly and easily automate complex database administration tasks.
Designed specifically for databases, Rackspace's offering leverages dedicated SAN storage with built-in data replication that gives you high-speed access and redundancy for your data.

Amphibious and amphibiotic animals, like frogs (the order Anura), while they do require water, are separated into their own environmental classification. The majority of amphibians (class Amphibia) have an aquatic larval stage, like a tadpole, but then live as terrestrial adults, and may return to the water to mate.
Aquatic animals are often of special concern to conservationists because of the fragility of their environments.
