Blue Sleep Therapy
Blue light has been shown to help reset the body's Circadian rhythm. This silent sleep aid works by gently projecting soft blue light onto your wall or ceiling, guiding your breathing to a quick and restful sleep, and in the morning replace your coffee with a blue light sunrise!
The illumination rises and falls over a customizable time period slowing and dimming to a gradual power-off. The cycling encourages breathing patterns that lead to a faster more relaxing night's sleep.
Spending time indoors surrounded by white artificial light can disrupts the body's natural sleep/wake cycle known as the Circadian rhythm. Aging only exacerbates the problem. But research has shown that the use of blue light before bed and upon rising can promote the reset of your body's Circadian rhythm, necessary to sleep through the night and ward off Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Help your baby sleep through the night. Blue light, timed before bed and upon waking, has even been shown to help regulate the sleep cycle for infants and toddlers.
Get over jet lag faster! Jet Lag is the body's response to confusing Circadian cues. Reset this and get to sleep faster by using Blue Sleep Therapy in the morning and night!
Multiple 1-button preset routines can be used in the morning or before bed, and, unlike white noise machines, this silent app's soft blue tones won't disturb a sleeping partner.
Standalone products offering similar features have been referenced in health magazines, news reports and books such as the "The 4 Hour Body", but these products are hardly affordable, often reaching prices of $50 - $150. This app replaces those products while offering customization and timely updates.
Interface optimized for screens of all sizes including Android Tablets such as the Motorola Xoom, Acer Iconia and Galaxy Tab.
This app requires an internet connection to collect and report usage analytics using Flurry. No personal information is collected, the data is used by us to improve it based on popular usage.
While coached breathing techniques are widely accepted and used to help a person relax and enter a restful state, the research on Blue Light therapy is incomplete, and there are conflicting opinions on it, so we provide a selection of articles written for the layperson supporting the use of lighting and breathing cycles to help sleep:

Hugo Chávez Funeral: Derided by US Media, Venezuelan Leader Uplifted Poor from Caracas to the Bronx
Millions are gathering in Caracas to mourn the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez on the day of his funeral. More than 30 world leaders are expected to attend today's ceremony as Venezuelans brave long lines to see Chávez lying in state. We go to Caracas to speak with Carol Delgado, Venezuelan consul general in New York, who has returned home for the funeral. Delgado responds to the torrent of U.S. corporate media criticism that has followed Chávez to the grave, arguing that Chávez has been attacked in spite of — and perhaps because of — his social programs benefiting Venezuela's poor majority, and a global reach that extended to impoverished neighborhoods of the United States.

New Violence Against Women Act Includes Historic Protections for Native American and LGBT Survivors
President Obama has signed into law historic new protections for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault with the expanded reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Initially passed in 1994, the bill lapsed in 2011 after Republicans blocked it over the new protections. The measure was approved after House Republicans finally allowed a vote last week. It includes a landmark addition that empower Native American tribal authorities to prosecute non-Native Americans for abuses committed on tribal lands. For the first time ever, it will also specifically include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender survivors. We're joined by two guests who attended Thursday's reauthorization ceremony at the White House: Juana Majel Dixon, first vice president of the National Congress of American Indians, and Mara Keisling, a transgender rights activist and founding executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality.

Vandana Shiva on Int'l Women's Day: "Capitalist Patriarchy Has Aggravated Violence Against Women"
We end our International Women's Day broadcast with the Indian feminist, activist and thinker Dr. Vandana Shiva. The author of many books, most recently "Making Peace with the Earth," Dr. Shiva discusses the impact on women by what she calls the world's "violent economic order," and the women-led uproar over sexual violence in India triggered by last year's brutal gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student in Delhi. A world-renowned physicist, Dr. Shiva also addresses the recent U.S. Supreme Court case pitting an Indiana farmer against the agri-giant Monsanto. "The multiple wars against the earth, through the economy, through greed, through capitalist, patriarchal domination, must end, and we have to recognize we are part of the earth," Dr. Shiva says. "The liberation of the earth, the liberation of women, the liberation of all humanity is the next step of freedom we need to work for, and it's the next step of peace that we need to create."

GAO found that: (1) DOD maintains aging and overstocked C&T inventories and incurs excessive and unnecessary storage and handling costs; (2) DOD has a total C&T inventory value of over $1.8 billion of which about 26 percent represents a 10-year supply; (3) the large DOD C&T inventory is due to the multiple layers of the DLA supply system, the need to maintain war reserves, the low turnover of stock, the nonvisibility of retail level assets, excessive lead times, liberal retention policies, short-term contracts, and the failure to deplete phase-out items before issuing new clothing; (4) the holding costs for the C&T inventory have exceeded the items' original purchase prices; (5) leading private-sector companies use just-in-time inventory practices and centralized distribution points to keep inventories low and fill orders quickly; (6) many private-sector firms and some federal agencies use prime vendors to manage their clothing inventories; (7) prime vendors minimize inventories and holding costs by providing timely and direct delivery between customers and suppliers and ordering additional stock from manufacturers on short notice; (8) although DOD has begun to use innovative commercial inventory practices, its progress has been slow; (9) DLA needs to enhance its computer capabilities to implement commercial inventory practices and overcome government procurement requirements that inhibit the use of commercial practices; and (10) DLA has not explored the use of prime vendors for high volume C&T items which would benefit recruit induction centers' operations.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The intent of this recommendation has been achieved. DOD began testing a prime vendor program at the Lackland Air Force Base recruit induction center in March 1996 and expects it to continue for two more years. In identifying benefits to date, DOD has reported that logistics response time has improved, customer satisfaction has increased, and inventories at wholesale and retail levels has been reduced. DOD is planning to expand the types of items in the second year of the test to include Class A dress items. In the third year of the test, DOD plans to bring the prime vendor and his inventory into Lackland's base supply operation and supply clothing items from that location. This is a key feature of the integrated supplier concept--one that GAO has been promoting for several years. GAO plans to follow developments of this program under future work assignments.
Recommendation: In addition to current modified prime vendor demonstration efforts to obtain low volume and special order items, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Director, DLA, to conduct a pilot project to demonstrate whether the prime vendor concept is beneficial in providing high usage uniform items, such as items that are currently a part of the Defense Personnel Supply Center quick response initiatives, to recruit induction centers.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As stated in the action taken on recommendation 1, these aspects are being covered in DOD's test of the prime vendor program for clothing items.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Director, DLA, to determine the number of prime vendors, items, military services, and recruit induction centers include in the project to measure the cost benefit potential.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As stated in the action taken on recommendation 1, these aspects are being covered in DOD's test of the prime vendor program for clothing items.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Director, DLA, to use the pilot project as an opportunity for testing ways to overcome other impediments such as software and hardware incompatibilities within DOD and inconsistencies between DOD and commercial sector procurement practices.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense

Pawz for Thought is a small but very active animal charity operating throughout the North East of England. It was formed as a positive response to the distressingly high number of animal welfare issues in the region.
The Charity always has many cats for adoption. There are fewer dogs for adoption as we spend many weeks with each animal getting to know them to ensure their next home is a 'forever home' Rabbits available for adoption are always plentiful either as singles or in pairs. Help can be given bonding a new rabbit with your existing bunnies. Not being a traditional cat and dog shelter with large capacities we are limited in the number of rescue cats, dogs and rabbits that can be taken in. We also work in the rescue and rehoming of smaller animals.
Our work is mainly in Newcastle, Sunderland and the North East Counties of Northumberland, Durham and Tyne and Wear, however, distance is never a barrier if the home is right.
Colin and his team are running the Morrisons Great North 10k tommorrow Sunday the 5th July.
On Saturday we were at Churchill playing fields annual fun dog show. It was lovely meeting people who great to see some of our dogs.
Its the annual Churchill Park fun Dog Show on Sat 27th from 11am to 3pm.
We arrived at the Dog Walk super early in the morning and found the field in disarray.
We had a fabulous Sunday at Kirkley Hall's Spring Fair.

The opening sequence of the new movie, Gravity, is set in the darkness of outer space. You can hear two voices from a distance that slowly become audible as two figures in space suits come into view. Two astronauts, George Clooney's Matt Kowalski and Sandra Bullock's Dr. Ryan Stone are adrift in space, 370 miles above the earth's surface, the only survivors of a failed space mission.
The first 13 minutes of this film will go into the history books as one of the longest and most beautifully filmed, un-interrupted scenes in movie history. And this is just the beginning of 90 minutes of heart-stopping events that transcend anything we've seen before. Space debris has destroyed their shuttle and Clooney figures they've got ninety minutes before it will have circled the earth and come back again. There are other space stations within range, but can they get there before oxygen and jet pack fuel runs out?
Matt Kowalski is a space veteran on his last mission, always cool and calm and a perfect role for George Clooney. Sandra Bullock has a chance to show what a fine actress she is as a scientist, on her first space mission, and scared to death - a possibility that is all too close. Even with minimal dialogue these two are able to convey the awe, the thrills and fears that accompany a human being in outer space.
The film was directed by Alfonso Cuaron and written by him and his son, Jonas. And although the story has a few holes in it, the stunning cinematogrpahy by Emmanuel Lubezki is so outstanding that it more then makes up for a few lapses in logic. The views of earth, the rising and setting sun and reflections seen from the astronaut's helmuts are remarkable.
Gravity was filmed in 3-D and try to see it that way. You'll have an unforgettable and lasting experience.
Time: 90 minutes
Rating: PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language.

Help Stop Bullfighting!
Bullfighting is a traditional European and Latin American sport that involves bulls being publicly baited, taunted, lanced and eventually stabbed to death by bullfighters inside a ring.
Dog Fighting Is Not Entertainment!
Dog fighting, in and of itself is a heinous crime. What may be surprising to find out, however, is that others are encouraging dog fighting by offering instructional videos about the activity!
Dogs Are Not A Delicacy!
Dogs are stolen from loving families and off the streets and illegally transported by truck and by boat into other countries for meat!

Rescued Mustangs soothe PTSD veterans
Jul 1, 2011
Four Mustangs from a
rescue shelter
in Canyon City, Colorado were adopted by the Medicine Horse Program, a nonprofit mental health organization in Colorado, and paired them with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, the Daily Camera reports.
The Fearless Victory Project, part of the non-profit that specializes in equine-assisted therapy based in Boulder, puts veterans with PTSD back in nature to practice meditative techniques that scientists have proven reduce the biological symptoms of the disorder, Executive Director Kathy Johnson told the news source.
Generally, PTSD is treated through several types of cognitive behavioral therapy, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Exposure therapy and group therapy are also common, but equine therapy is becoming more widely used.
These four horses are particularly helpful because they have suffered their own trauma, Johnson says. The horses were separated from their family groups and have had to run from helicopters and be kept in holding pens, so they show PTSD symptoms like anxiety, depression and anger.
The project is free to veterans and uses mindfulness training to treat PTSD. Each monthly meeting includes 10 minutes of mindfulness meditation with the mustangs, then mindfulness practice in training the horses.

Now how does one go about achieving this It's quite simple really. One must try to remain calm and relaxed in the most adverse circumstances. Life does not always go the way we want, but always works out best in the long run. If we are accepting and content with our lot then our path automatically smoothens out. But this is the way to true inner beauty. Let's see how we can handle these windows to our soul externally.
The easiest way is through make-up. You can always emphasize or intensify
the shape and colour of your eyes with the help of a kohl pencil, eyeliners
and eye shadows. But the best way to maintain that inner sparkle is to
take care of your health. Avoid long hours and do not overstrain your eyes.
How Should We Avoid Eye-Strain
One of the most common causes of eyestrain is inadequate lighting while reading or even doing housework, like cleaning, mending or sewing. This causes a weary, dull feeling that can simply be avoided by proper lighting.
Another common fault is the angle at which you tend to hold a paper or book while reading. People generally tend to hold it too close to their eyes and strain them in the process. The correct method is to hold the book about ten inches away from your face. i.e. neither too close nor too far. The same goes for watching television or when using the computer.
Lastly, if none of the above tips seem to help, then you must consult
an optician to check your number. Do not worry as you can go in for contact
lenses. In any case, nowadays spectacles have become a wonderful accessory.
If you already have spectacles, then make sure you get your eyes tested
every two years or so in order to keep a check on your number.
Simple Home Remedies For Tired Eyes
1. To soothe tired eyes, dip cotton pads in chilled milk and place on
closed eyes for 10 minutes. Now relax completely.
2. Alternatively, you can place slices of cucumber or grated cucumber on closed eyelids for about 10 minutes and relax completely.
3. To completely relax the eyes and the surrounding muscles, close your eyes and think of something that is pleasant or soothing and at a distance. Now gently open your eyes and look into the distance. Next focus on an object at arm's length. Do this extremely relaxing exercise four to five times a day.
Make Your Eyes Sparkle
Soak 1 tsp. dry amla in one cup of water overnight. Next morning strain
it through a muslin cloth and then add one extra cup of water. Splash your
eyes with this solution each morning and watch your eyes sparkle.
Problems With Puffy Eyes
All you need to do is grate a potato with its peel and apply on your
closed eyelids for about 20 minutes and relax completely. You may even
take a nap. You will wake up feeling extremely fresh.
Tips For Dark Circles
1. Apply cucumber juice below your eyes every night just before going
to bed.
2. Mix the pulp of a quarter tomato, turmeric powder, lemon juice and gramflour (besan). Apply this mixture on your dark circles and wash off once it dries.

Mississippi Senior
40: 4.73
PROS: Athletic with nice ball skills. Shows ability to read quarterback with nice range to break up the pass. Is physical, and willing to come up and deliver a hit on ballcarrier. Shows some ability when working in deep zone and can keep things in front of him. Plays fast.
CONS: Doesn't show great awareness in zone. Struggles at times in run support as he's too easily blocked by receivers in space and is an undersized tackler.
OVERVIEW: A former wide receiver that flashes that past with his ball skills and hands to make plays in coverage. But is undersized and limited in run support despite having a hard-nosed attitude. Started 32 games at free safety the past three seasons combining for 226 tackles, 10 for loss, 6 picks, and 18 breakups. Caught 5 passes as a freshman receiver.
NFL FORECAST: He is a developmental prospect that because of his ball skills, one thinks he can be a nice free safety down the road. But he's limited in run support, and until he can bulk up, he won't be a reliable option on regular defense. He still plays like he's new to the position despite three years there due to his lack of discipline and ideal awareness. He's worth developing, and in two or three years with NFL-caliber coaching might make a decent stopgap option as a starter. I think he won't be considered a good NFL starter, but can make a few plays here and there to get by. Easily could be a journeyman in the same vein as a Marquand Manuel down the road. Not good enough to keep, but can be a reliable backup because he's a decent stopgap starter.
ATL FORECAST: If he can impact early on special teams, could make the Falcons roster as a rookie and fourth safety. Mainly because his athletic potential is probably a little better than someone like Giordano, although not by a huge degree. But has the potential to develop into a capable Cover-2 free safety that could be a good backup if he's given time to develop.
VALUE: He's nothing special, but I could see a team snagging him in the sixth or seventh round to bolster depth.

It is already my fourth Traxxas car, but I am still excited about my Boss 302 that is on its way. I had a VXL set laying around after upgrading my Merv to big block. So I ordered a Boss roller and a 2.4 receiver.
The car will be here tomorrow, but the receiver will take around a week.
So I will be around this part of the forum more often to ask all kind of newbie questions about it

Principal's Message – Theodore Primary School
Theodore Primary School is situated in Canberra's culturally and historically significant Tuggeranong valley. The valley has been recognised as a significant area to the Ngunnawal people and contains a number of significant sites within the local area.
Theodore Primary School opened its doors to children of the valley in 1991. The school caters for students ranging from preschool to Year 6 and prides itself on providing a stimulating, balanced curriculum that encourages lifelong learning. Decision making is a shared responsibility and the community is active in the education of our students.
The staff at Theodore Primary School are committed professionals who work together to explicitly teach English and Mathematical skills which support students to be literate and numerate members of society. The junior school students (P-2) engage within investigation based learning where students are given opportunities to extend their knowledge in areas that are then of interest to them. Each student spends time as a focus child, photographer and reporter which enables them to demonstrate and articulate their learning. In the senior school (3-6) our students participate in an inquiry or project-based learning approach. Student learning is based on the investigation of questions, scenarios or problems. We encourage students to inquire, think, question, plan, create and reflect in order to make meaning of their learning. We have specialist teachers delivering Science and PE curriculum and provide a wide range of opportunities that meet the needs of our students including a Life Skills program, junior and senior Masterchef, Gardening Club, EALD support, school library, cross class buddies, ICAS competitions, West African Drumming, Instrumental Music Program (band) and Aussie Sports Leaders.
At Theodore Primary School we pride ourselves on being a TRIBES community and work hard at maintaining our agreements of Mutual Respect, Appreciation/No Put Downs, Personal Best, Personal Responsibility and Attentive Listening.
We believe in strong community connections and enjoy offering after hours events which strengthen relationships and give students the opportunity to participate in learning alongside parents, carers and friends. Theodore Primary School works hard to build strong relationships between the students, staff, parents and the community. Children are respected and encouraged to develop their potential in all areas through a forward-thinking approach to education. Our policies and programs are developed to provide a safe, caring and inclusive environment where all our students achieve their best and know they are successful.
Theodore Primary School is a community of learners that I feel very privileged to work with. I look forward to the educational year ahead.

Recently the P&C agreed to support student learning by helping the school to purchase an online learning tool called 'Bug Club'. BugClub is an online literacy program where teachers can allocate digital readers to students. Students are able to access these readers both at school and at home on computers and personal devices such
as iPads.
Each student has been allocated their own individual logon and password. These details have been sent home with your child today. When students logon to their individual account, they are able to have digital books read to them, read books and answer comprehension questions. Students earn points and rewards as they read.
Teachers are able to monitor the progress of the students and continue to allocate appropriate books to support their learning. We hope that everyone jumps onto Bug Club and enjoys this new reading resource!

The School P&C is a great place for families with students to meet others, join in a range of community activities and even get support from other parents at times. We aim to keep it a friendly, community-oriented atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
ALL parents and carers (including grandparents, aunties, uncles etc.) of children at the school are eligible members of the P&C and are encouraged to be involved. No specialised skills are required just enthusiasm and a desire to support all students throughout the school community.
The role of the P&C includes helping people come together, making suggestions to/asking questions of the Principal, getting to know each other, feeling that you can contribute to the school & having fun during this precious time of your child's life. The more members we have actively participating in the P&C association the better we can achieve our objectives.
Please consider coming along to P&C meetings (or as many as you can) through the year and getting involved – it's a great way to meet new people and really contribute to your child's school experience.
As we use email to communicate with parents, it is essential that we have an accurate and up to date email contact list of parents. Opting for a P&C email is great way to engage with activities, issues and useful information for parents in your school even if you can't make it to meetings.
Please provide the following details to firstname.lastname@example.com
Email address
Contact phone numbers
YES I'm interested in being part of the P&C committee.
YES I would like my name to be added to the list of helpers for P&C events.

I am currently developing a website with will display a number of products. These products I initially obtain from an external XML file and store them in a database and I then take them from the database to display them on the website (from XML to database is an automated cronjob process).
This all is working fine, but figured to give some background information.
For this website I use the following rewriteRules
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?page=product&cat=$1$cat2=$2&cat3=$3&xid=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?page=product&cat=$1&cat2=$2&xid=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?page=product&cat=$1&xid=$2 [L]
This in almost every case works, but there is one case, once one certain product has been shown the xid changes value. It has taken me a while to find out it was because of the RewriteRules. I can ensure you that it's not because of something else because when I "skip" the rewriteRules and go there the regular way, it just works fine.
I want these so people can go to
.com/Ladies/1 or
.com/Ladies/pants/4 or
.com/Ladies/Pants/Shorts/2 for example. Now however comes the stranges part.
When I create session like
$_SESSION["pid"] = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_GET["xid"]);
$_SESSION["pid"] will change to this new value. If however I create
$_SESSION["sql"] = "SELECT * FROM somthing WHERE id = " . $mysqli->real_escape_string($_GET["xid"]);
Then it will change it from
"SELECT * FROM something WHERE id = 1" to
"SELECT * FROM something WHERE id = 0810890000116".
Whenever I use
$_GET["xid"], regardless if it's in the middle of a string or not, it will change it.
This happens both when I execute a AJAX called php script or even when I return to the home page and
echo $_SESSION["pid"].
The numbers is the EAN number of that product HOWEVER!! this EAN number is not even in my own database. I am almost certain of it because I checked and checked, it's not even in the discription or whatever. This however is why I know this one product is faulty.
Does anyone has any expirience with this type of problem?
I have no expirience really with rewrite rules, but still this problem seem pretty odd to me. It makes me believe the actualy location on the server memory is altered, else I see no way to the value changing while it has been used in the middle of a string. I have tried renaming it already and that does not fix it.

A Florida pastor's plan to burn the Koran on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks hit the diplomatic community worldwide this week, from the U.S. ambassador in Iraq, who denounced the scheme, to the Pakistani ambassador in Washington, who urged Fox News host Glenn Beck to condemn it.
In Baghdad, Ambassador James F. Jeffrey and Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, called the Rev. Terry Jones' determination to burn 200 copies of the Muslim holy book on Saturday "disrespectful, divisive and disgraceful."
"As this holy month of Ramadan comes to a close and Iraqis prepare to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, we join with the citizens of Iraq and of every nation to repudiate religious intolerance and to respect and defend the diversity of faiths of our fellow man," they said.
Late Thursday, Mr. Jones said he would not burn copies of the Koran, saying he had secured a deal to move a proposed mosque from ground zero in New York.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Thursday warned that Islamic extremists would use the burning of the Koran to incite widespread violence.
"This ghastly action doesn't fall within free expression, and there must be an intervention to stop it," Mr. al-Maliki said during a meeting with Mr. Jeffrey and Gen. Austin. "It might be taken by the fundamentalists as a pretext to do more killings and counterkilling."
Diplomats from Kuwait to Malaysia on Thursday also denounced Mr. Jones' proposed action.
"This bizarre plan is a flagrant insult to the feelings of Muslims worldwide and would ruin efforts to preach understanding among the faiths," a Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry spokesman told the Kuwait News Agency.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said: "Malaysia condemns this act. I'm sure the United States knows the stand of Muslims around the world on this."
In Washington, Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani on Wednesday called on Mr. Beck, who held a massive rally at the Lincoln Memorial last month to promote religious harmony and honor, to condemn the planned burning.
"I think it would help if Glenn Beck came out against it and said the people of faith do not burn the books of people of other faith," he told the Associated Press.
Mr. Haqqani was unaware that Mr. Beck, who is on vacation, denounced the book-burning on his blog on Monday.
"Burning the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible. You can do it, but whose heart will you change by doing it? You will only harden the hearts of those who could be moved," he wrote.
"None of those who are thinking about killing us will be affected, but our good Muslim friends and neighbors will be saddened. It makes the battle that they face inside their own communities even harder."
The Mexican ambassador is imploring President Obama to stop violating the U.S.-Mexico free-trade treaty and allow Mexican trucks to deliver goods in the United States.
Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan defended Mexico's decision to retaliate by imposing tariffs on 99 U.S. products and warned that U.S. and Mexican jobs are at risk the longer the White House and the Democrat-controlled Congress bows to union bosses who oppose Mexican trucks on U.S. roads.
"Why has the trucking issue proven to be so intractable? Simply put, because of protectionism," he wrote in the Mexican Embassy's September newsletter. "By using smoke screens and constantly moving the goal posts, opponents have voiced baseless concerns, particularly over the safety of Mexican trucks and drivers."
The ambassador cited studies by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Congressional Research Service that found Mexican truckers and their vehicles as safe as American trucks and drivers.
More than a year ago, Congress canceled a program that allowed Mexican trucks to deliver goods in the United States. The North American Free Trade Agreement guaranteed Mexican trucks access to the U.S. market and American trucks access to Mexico.

GERMANY: Adidas shares dip on cautious FY outlook
By Michelle Russell | 5 March 2014
- Q4 net profit of EUR42m
- Gross margin at 46.5%
- Net sales grow 3.3%
Adidas sales grew in all regions, channels and brands
Sporting goods giant Adidas saw its shares dip this morning (5 March) after it warned its 2014 results would be significantly impacted by currency movements.
Adidas today revealed it had moved to a profit in the fourth quarter, earning EUR42m (US$57.6m) versus a net loss of EUR7m a year earlier. Gross margin in the three month period narrowed slightly to 47.5% from 47.6% last year due to negative effects resulting from a less favourable hedging rate.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 3.3% to EUR3.48bn, while comparable store sales were up 3%.
Sales grew in all regions, channels and brands. In emerging European markets, currency-neutral sales were up 11%, while in North American sales increased 14% and in China sales grew 8%.
For fiscal 2014, however, Adidas said it expects group results to be hit significantly by weakening emerging market currencies from Russia and Argentina. This despite sales being helped by major sporting events such as the football World Cup, for which Adidas is the Official Partner.
The company expects currency-neutral group sales to increase at a high-single-digit rate and net income to be between EUR830m and EUR930m. The latter falls short of Bloomberg analyst estimates of EUR1bn.
Operating margin is expected to be at a level of between 8.5% and 9%.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Allegra Perry said fourth-quarter earnings were around 13% ahead of consensus estimates. However, comment on the group's outlook, she added: "This now means that in order for Adidas to meet the Route 2015 operating margin target of 11%, the group will need to improve profitability by 250-300bps in FY15E which in our view, even considering likely substantial FX hedging gains that year, will be highly challenging."
Shares were down 0.78% at EUR82.86 at 08:50am GMT today.
Adidas yesterday extended the contact of its chief executive officer Herbert Hainer by two years until 2017.

By Anthony Slater – firstname.lastname@example.com - @anthonyVslater
To his core, Wizards coach Randy Wittman is an Indiana man.
He grew up in Indianapolis, won a 1981 national championship for Bob Knight's Hoosiers and was named to the IU Basketball Hall of Fame in 1996.
So, as expected, Wittman was excited about the current state of his alma mater's resurgent basketball program. Indiana, the top-seed in the East Region, is considered one of the favorites to win this year's national title.
"It's been really gratifying these last two years to see them take the steps they have," Wittman said.
But what makes it even more gratifying to Wittman, he said, is how quickly the program has recovered from the Kelvin Sampson era, which included various recruiting violations that led to crippling sanctions levied by the NCAA.
"It was run into the ground in the matter of 18 months," Wittman said. "That's a storied program with a rich tradition that was built up over 30, 40, 50 years. And in the matter of 18 months, it was torn completely down."
Tom Crean took over the program in 2008, after Sampson was fired, and Indiana predictably struggled in his first two seasons, with combined records of 16-46 overall and 5-31 in the Big Ten. But the past two years, Crean has resurrected the program and produced combined records of 56-15 overall and 25-11 in the Big Ten.
"They had to start from completely scratch," Wittman said. "Tom's first couple teams, it was not very pretty. I give a lot of credit for them sticking to it and returning the team back to prominence. So I'm really, really happy for him and the university."
Wittman isn't the only one who has been highly critical of Sampson (a former OU coach and current Houston Rockets assistant).
Ted Kitchel, an outspoken Hoosier alum and one of Wittman's former teammates, called the Sampson hire "an absolute disgrace" at the time, saying "I wouldn't hire that guy to coach my fifth-grade girls team. That guy is absolutely what we don't want at IU."
Also, earlier this season, Crean came under a bit of heat when he was caught on camera berating one of Sampson's former assistants, Jeff Meyer, after the Hoosiers beat Michigan (where Meyer is currently an assistant) in Ann Arbor.
Crean told Meyer: "You know what you did. You helped wreck our program."

About MeModeling has been a a personal therapy for me, not my bread and butter.
I always do TFP so I require my photographers to give me my raw photos right after the shoot since I deliver my end of the bargain when I show up, made up and all. I hate being made to wait while photographers procrastinate and take their time to edit from 2 weeks to a month when it can be done in half an hour by a mall studio. If something bad happens to you, I will never see the fruits of my labor from the collaboration. Photographers do not have the monopoly of rights in securing guaranteed reward from their efforts.
I'm primarily a human rights activist taking Persons with Disabilities advocacy particularly the Psychosocial sector. I got a Bachelor and a Master's Degree in English Studies from the University of the Philippines, the premiere in the country. I worked as a college professor, call center trainer, writer, researcher, and events host. I now serve as Resource Speaker for Disability awareness as well as Language Education.
I'm fluent in English, Filipino, and Sign Language so let's talk =)

text: I still haven't seen all the photos from this trip. I come home from Seattle all pumped to go through pictures and I'm like, Violet, one thing at a time. I still have a heap of pictures to go through from this trip! These were taken during our first day in Yosemite. It was rainy, dreary and absolutely breathtaking. Everything about this trip was perfect and the best way to celebrate five years of marriage. I'm so very thankful.
