So the Kitz is going to sign this into "law". Who decides who goes to college? Who pays for it? Who is going to enforce this absurd bulls#$t ? What happens if you refuse to go .....do you go to jail if you don't go to college? Oh, wait.....free college in jail....what a deal ! Who the hell sits around and wastes time dreaming up crap like this to debate and turn into law? I have a great idea....why don't we drop out and become politicians....obviously it does'nt require any educational intelligence to become an esteemed representative to come up with crap like this when there are so many other issues of actual impotance ! These bozo's have way to much time on their hands and there are way to many of them in the first place ! Just once I'd like to see a polio-tician follow thru with their campaign platform !! What a huge waste of toilet paper electing these idiots ! Focus on high scool graduation ! FOCUS on JOBS for those that DO graduate. If we knew jobs were waiting, we would be more inclined to finish school in the first place. There are only so many jobs that will ever be available for any catagory of certificate.....get realistic and focus on teaching students how to speak properly like you know what I mean like you know what i'm talkn bout now don cha ? Teach them how to learn and they will do most of the worl themselves!! This absurdity irritates me....there are TOO MANY POLIO-TICIANS that don't know how to FOCUS !!!!
a motorized skateboard ( with a small gas engine ) does not require a license or helmet because it doesnt go over 17 mph. this was the case in hood river as of last summer........I support the biker. we have too much "tough cop" attitude !.....Remember.....cops get away with murder !!
cgavic.....i'll go ya one further.....this young terrorist does not need life in prison ! he needs to be stood up against a brick wall and executed !!!! no trial,' as no trial is needed when a confession is made !

incredibly stupid young "adults"!!!
sarah may be a flake, but dont discount her backing! Whether or not you liked al gore- he won the popular vote for the 2000 presidency and look who we ended up with. It's extreamly troubeling that we don't even elect our own president, but even more troubeling the number of people that don't realize it !
nuclear power is incredible....problem is, we still have'nt figured out what to do with the refuse!! we can't continue to stuff it in a tin can ( yeah, I know....lead) and bury it in the salt mines ! I guess thats the way we humans are tho...sometimes we're in such a dither to make our mark that we end up leaving our mark instead and someone else has to clean up the mess !!! God help our children .
BO also promised a crack down on lobbiest. After all, isnt lobbying illegal ? Oh no, wait. It's the low class politicians that accept the coercian $$$ that are even below scum sucking lobbiest. Who bought the Supeme Court ?! Our government slams other countries for their misuse of power and crooked elections and politicians that seem to have forgotten who they work for like John MaCain and his incredulous statement "The American people do'nt know what's good for them...I do". We elect these people just to have them turn around and beat, abuse and belittle us and we put up with it!!! Who's stupid ??

its about time the elimination process was allowed!! the salmon/steelhead protection is worth far more than protecting an over population of sea lions. the bleeding hearts cry over the low number of fish, but turn a deaf ear and blind eye toward reality when it seems to harsh of a solution !! these sea lions are just more californicators moving into oregon! if they call it " tourist season" then why cant we shoot them too ?! ................load the gun!!
fitfo.....did you report officer greens' actions or did the common criminal get lucky.....?? keeping ones' mouth shut does raise a few questions!

note the big bag on top is open! i wonder how many stoned cops it took to confirm the contents?? don't kid your self into thinking our finest are all on the up and up. every one is susceptable to temptation! most cops do a fine job.....how ever....
when ever some one, or institution, sugar coats a way of knowing more about me, i get a little more paranoid and protective of our privacy--what little we have left! big brother is already in the corp. world! electronic communication is probably the easiest, most efficient way of compiling a portfolio on any of us! privacy laws? don't bet on it! remember the patriot act? cameras on street cornors, eye in the sky, cell phones etc. ...its probably to late to worry about privacy any way. still gotta protect what little we have left!!!
well....global warming is a reality, and proven that it is not a 'rare occurance as far as earths existance.,and no doubt we can do our part to ease the speed of occurance this time around, but im afraid teddy just isnt being the least bit realistic with his time frame! at all!! " one of the Worlds toughest greenhouse gas limits"....Is this guy building a monument to him self or what?? He would be laughable if he were'nt so dangerous!!
here we go again. ted is jumping in with both eyes closed or else he does'nt even know whats going on in his own state. oregon happens to be making substantial head way in wind generation, meeting federal guide lines concerning clean air and water. finally coming to terms with proper forest managment that most all can accept. etc. things can only happen just so fast no matter how hard you push. ted just likes to TRY to make himself look good. study it ted, before you jump on it!
Do they think we are all idiots?! Gonna freeze their pay after giving themselves a pay raise! That works. They're trying to make things look good and pat themselves on the back and claim they are doing this for the good of the people and then Ted signs into law a 175 million dollar bond issue that, you know who is going to end up paying for, will be used to "spruce up" state agencies and if there's any thing left we might get a little help out of it!! How do these people
KEEP getting away with this inapprpriate action?! Its about time to march on salem, since our elected politicians seem to be missing the point that we are fed up!!!!!
this is nuts! We're800 million in the hole, and this stimilus will be used to "spruce up" state agencies and a couple of $ to put people back to work. We can guess where most of the money will go! In this story you will notice that state agencies come first!! Where does the money eventually come from to repay the bonds? They gona float another loan from the tax payers to pay back the tax payers? Why are they building more parks and state funded bike trails when in fact usage has been down for years!!etc....etc...Hood river co. just made a tough decision to close cascade locks high and bus students to an already crowded school. I thought the lottery was supposed to be used for roads and schools first then little doughnut shops if anything is left. Our esteemed politicians certainly hold themselves in high regard with raises along with cost of living increases that most of us havent seen in years and now some heavy duty "Sprucing".....who are these people besides self appointed gods!? EXTREAMLY upsetting...
only 6 managers? on paid leave no less! are these full time positions? where can i get a job like this? if 6 managers are on leave, then who is going to issue our bicycle permits? my god, how will we get by? I suppose there are 6 more positions for inspecters and each one has a secretary that drive state cars! friends of friends of friends of................
there has to be more to the story.......otherwise, why bother?

WELCOME to the ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT COMMUNITY: This Patient-To-Patient Community is for discussions relating to Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) which is a hole in the part of the septum that separates the atria (the upper chambers of the heart). This hole allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to flow into the right atrium instead of flowing into the left ventricle as it should. This means that oxygen-rich blood gets pumped back to the lungs, where it has just been, instead of going to the body.
If you have coronary microvascular disease (MVD), you can take steps to stop it from getting worse. These steps are the same as those used to prevent coronary MVD. See "How Can Coronary Microvascular Disease Be Prevented" for more information.
If you have coronary MVD, see your doctor regularly to make sure the disease isn't getting worse and to keep track of your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. A cholesterol blood test will show your levels of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. It will show whether you need more treatment. You may need to see a cardiologist in addition to your primary care doctor.
Talk to your doctor about how often you should schedule office visits or blood tests. Between those visits, call your doctor if you develop any new symptoms or your symptoms become more severe. You should:
MVD, like traditional coronary artery disease, increases your chance for a heart attack. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack include:
Call 9–1–1 within 5 minutes if you think you're having a heart attack. Acting fast at the first sign of heart attack symptoms can save your life and limit damage to your heart. Treatment is most effective when started within 1 hour of the beginning of symptoms.

Pho The Gioi Review
@ South San Francisco
2239 Gellert Blvd
South San Francisco, CA 94080
Came here one night for dinner since this was one of the very few pho restaurants I have not tried in the area. This restaurant was actually one of the first places I had pho. Back then, it was a different restaurant with different owners and since the owner change, I have not tried this place until now.
Stepping inside the restaurant, I had high hopes because it smelled good and the place looked pretty clean (except for the seats). This restaurant is very big and has plenty of seating. After sitting down, I noticed all the waiters were very old. After looking over the menu one of the waiters came by to take our order. He had a difficult time hearing us ordering and would ask us to point to the menu in what we wanted. After we ordered, the owner came by and told us that the dish my fiance ordered did not have the sauce, so she decided to get Vermicilli.
The food took awhile to come, probably 15 minutes. Pho usually takes 5-10 minutes to come out so I was thinking, this Pho better be good for the wait. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I was disappointed. The broth was not piping hot like it should be but instead it was warm. The noodles were OK, a little on the uncooked side and the meat was just alright. Even when the vegetable plate came, they didn't have enough lemon and basil. I asked for more and it took them another 5 minutes to get me lemon and basil.
Overall, the experience and the pho was pretty bad. The flavor in the broth was actually decent but everything else was bad. I would have to rate this place a 6/10. I would only come here if Pho's Saigon or Pho Hyunh Heip were closed.

Video: Judson Phillips Interviews Roy Beck of NumbersUSA at CPAC02.15.2012
In yet another sign of the converging Tea Party and nativist interests we detailed in Beyond FAIR: The Decline of the Established Anti-Immigrant Organizations and the Rise of Tea Party Nativism, Tea Party Nation leader Judson Phillips caught up with NumbersUSA head Roy Beck for an interview at the 2012 CPAC Convention. Phillips used the interview to re-introduce NumbersUSA to his Tea Party Nation supporters. The two were familiar with one another from when Beck appeared at the 2010 Tea Party Nation Convention in Nashville.
Beyond FAIR01.17.2012
In this special report the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights (IREHR) delineates the intersection of two trends. One is a measureable drop in the number of local and national anti-immigrant organizations that were established prior to the presidency of Barack Obama. Along the same lines, those organizations which remained experienced a noticeable decrease in the size of their membership and financial support.
This has led to a relative decline in what IREHR describes as the Nativist Establishment. It should be noted that IREHR is not arguing that these organizations have disappeared altogether. Neither does IREHR contend that such organizations have ceased to be a danger to human rights. Rather, the data suggests that their size and power have fallen relative to the strength they had achieved at their height during the period 2007-2008.
The second trend is a rise in anti-immigrant activism by the Tea Parties. As IREHR reported in its 2010 special report, Tea Party Nationalism, anti-immigrant sentiment and activism have been part of the Tea Party mix from the beginning. Indeed, we noted then that one of the six national factions, 1776 Tea Party, had imported its staff leadership directly from the Minutemen. In Beyond FAIR, however, we note both an increase in anti-immigrant activism by national and local Tea Party groups, as well as a measurable number of anti-immigrant leaders who have joined the Tea Parties and consequently accelerated the rate of anti-immigrant activism by those Tea Parties.
To a noticeable degree, the transfer of organizational allegiances to the Tea Parties noted in trend two is caused by the drop in strength by established anti-immigrant organizations described in trend one.
This re-articulation of the Nativist Establishment into the Tea Parties changes both the shape and strength of the anti-immigrant impulse in American life. Mixed into the activities of multi-issue organizations (the Tea Parties), it will be harder to delineate and counter by immigrant rights advocates. Further, the Tea Party movement by itself is larger and more significant than the Nativist Establishment ever was, even at its height. As a result, anti-immigrant activism has a bigger immediate constituency and is likely to be stronger.
Nativists Shift Target to Documented Immigrants09.22.2011
NumbersUSA announced that they will air television ads during the next GOP presidential candidate debate that advocate further restrictions on the level of documented (so called "legal") immigrants. As IREHR recently noted, some national nativist groups appear to be changing course, and preparing to launch a campaign to restrict documented immigration. If this shift in nativist strategy fully materializes, it is likely to alter the terms of discussion by policymakers and the public.
Revival and Revolt: Inside the Tea Party Nation Convention02.11.2010
Nashville - The rancor and division among Tea Partiers that erupted in the weeks leading up to the first Tea Party National Convention were nowhere to be found inside the expansive biosphere-like confines of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. Squabbles set aside, at least for the moment, the real business of the February 4-7 convention was three-fold: culture warring, movement building, and campaign winning.
Tea Party Switcheroo: Different Nativist Group to Present at Tea Party Nation Conference01.28.2010
Just when you thought they were out, they jump right back in…
As quickly as one anti-immigrant group extricates itself from the Tea Party Nation convention, another one jumps in to fill the gap.

The river jelly lichen produces small rosettes up to 2.5cm in diameter. Thalli are greyish dark green to almost brownish when dry, and dark to bright green (sometimes with a brownish tinge). The dry lichen is very brittle but turns into a jelly like texture when wet.
Characters typical for the species are:
Other species of jelly lichens (Collema spp. and Leptogium spp.) in amphibious habitats are less submersion tolerant and they do not have the combination of characters of convex lobes and a dichotomous branching pattern.
Some liverworts may appear similar. In the field they can be easily distinguished by the absence of the reddish brown disk like fruiting bodies.

It is very light, provides minimal coverage, even if you try to build it, it doesn't make a difference.
It comes on looking very powdery, it can make the skin look really dry and dehydrated.
It is so expensive, I paid $98 in Australia, and it is not worth it. I think for that much $ you should get a miracle in a bottle. This is not a miracle in a bottle. I expected a lot more for the price.
When i bought it my skin wasn't that great, It was after a few too many nights out and my skin was looking a bit dehydrated, broken out, so I thought I will give it another chance once my skin improves, and it did, and when I tried it, it still didn't do much for me, just made my skin look dry, dehydrated and not glowing like i was expecting.
It is very thin and the application can be very messy. The man who sold it to me recommended application with fingertips as this foundation is very liquidy it sinks into the brush so you end up wasting alot of it.
This foundation is great if your skin has NO imperfections and no dryness. SO if you have perfect skin and just need a very light coverage it's great.

This "foundation" is amazing and definitely a HG item for me now! I have never used anything like it. It goes on so light, almost like a moisturizer that seeps into your skin. It blends flawlessly. By the end of the night I swear my skin looked even more flawless! I could not be more impressed with this product. The coverage is def light to (at best) a modest medium. So if your skin has minor imperfections and/or you are looking for a nice evening of skin tone for a flawless finish, this is DEFINITELY the foundation for you. This product is unreal and unlike anything I have ever used. It is on the expensive side, but worth every penny!

Well, i find this foundation beyond excellent. It spreads over my skin really fast and putting it on takes seconds. It seems fool-proof. The consistency is that of a really thin oil, but it transforms instantly on skin leaving no greasy feeling at all. It is an amazing feeling to not feel the foundation on the skin, too! The finish without a powder is quite beautiful and dewy, and very natural as the cover is sheer. i find you can build it to a medium cover, but a bit of the amazing natural look gets lost. As the application top makes it easy to use a precise amount, I actually find this foundation priceworthy. I have this in 6.5 and it matches my fair but easily tanned nordic skin tone. in winter I might switch to 5.5.
Will update in a few weeks regarding two concerns, though:
I work long night shifts (17 hrs) and the staying power test will be brutal!
Also, this foundation is full of 'cones and this often makes me break out. We'll se about that.
Update 21/9: Been using this for a week now. Still love! No pimples:)
Am using it sometimes with primer (Lancome La Base) and sometimes without. The staying power is better with primer although difference is subtle. It looks fresh on my slightly oily skin still after 8 hrs. I have found 5.5 is a better match now. Best thing of all is that it does,n settle into the large pores I have on nose, cheeks and forehead. This happens with almost every other product in spite of using thin or thick primer.
Will update in a few months how this performs in cooler weather.

This foundation has a light, dry oil texture, which is actually quite nice to apply. The main strength of this foundation is that it doesn't look like you have any make up on, but have excellent skin. I'm not one for thick, full coverage foundations, so this one is great for me.
It doesn't offer a lot by way of coverage but it covers more than a tinted moisturizer. Of course you can also build it up, but I recommend getting a different foundation if you're looking for more than light coverage.
I use a good moisturizer the night before (Aurelia night cream, ANR, sometimes PAI rosehip oil too) plus a hydrating day cream before applying this (Aurelia day cream or Bioderma) and this looks excellent. So I recommend you have a good moisturization process before trying this out, as it *will* look flaky if your skin is a little dry.
It wouldn't survive a night out clubbing and sweating but for a normal work day, it's fine. I put Dior loose powder over this for a matte effect and it stays put. It doesn't do well on hot days though, so I keep it limited to winter times.
It doesn't break me out, and it comes out in a small pipette which is always nice for hygiene reasons. It looks excellent when applied with both a brush and fingers.
I wouldn't repurchase because on days where I want more coverage, I simply don't have that option. With more full coverage foundations, I can at least "water" them down with moisturizer.

Well this was a big surprise for me. I was truly expecting a normal foundation-like texture...of course I had read up a bit, but assumed (as with pretty much every skin product) that the description was a bit of flouncy words to sell the brand.
Usually when trying on foundations in department stores i try on my hand (I know, I know--never match the color to your hand! eek!) to check not the color, but the texture. I figure, if a product shows up on my hand, it will definitely be obvious on my face. This one, to my surprise, melted into my skin, and left my hand looking perfect and silky. I cannot stress this enough--the foundation literally sinks in in about 2 seconds and you cannot feel anything afterwards. Its a very "naked-face" feel.
I bought number 6, which is a perfect color match to my face. The applicator is not the most mess-free way of going about things, but allows for easy enough application, and is very controllable. (i.e., no dilemma of 1 pump too little, 2 pumps too much).
Price wise, it is not awful. I paid about 80 $ which is nothing out of the ordinary for high end makeup. And this one is truly a foundation like no other. I like my foundations to look natural, and I only use them on special occasions. I keep my skin care simple with coconut oil as a cleanser and moisturiser, and on normal days just wear concealer and Soleil Tan de Chanel for my skin. This product is perfect for me for so many reasons, but mainly because my skin still looks very real and touchable, not cakey or dry. My boyfriend always points out girls whose makeup looks like its 1 inch thick, he always says it looks like you can scrape through the layers like cake frosting. NOT a look I want.
This is how I use Maestro foundation in my regular routine!
1. Wash face with lukewarm water and soap. If needed, exfoliate gently.
2. Cleanse/moisturise with a cotton ball and organic coconut oil and pure vitamin E.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for oil to sink in.
4. Starting from the center of my face, apply a few drops of foundation.
5. Immediately massage it into my skin (it melts into it immediately)
5. Brush EL Double wear concealer under my eyes and around my nose, blend in with BB sponge.
6. Set everything with a light dusting of NARS laguna, and finish with a corally blush and a light highlight on my cheekbones.
Hope you give this foundation a try and I hope this review helps make your decision :) Remember to just moisturise/exfoliate well before use!

well I got the Giorgio Armani Fusion Makeup in color 4. Colors a good match but not sure on the makeup. I literally just put it on with some powder. It feels really silicony when you first put it on. Then it fads and the coverage is buildable and once you add some powder feels very light and like its not there. The feel is really nice once it soaks in a bit. Wears well on me. Works well with my medium oily skin and the heat.
Worth trying out.

The texture of Armani Maestro is like a very light dry oil, it looks slightly powdery after applied on my face, but just wait for it sets (about 10 minutes), it just melts into my skin and the colour also becomes a perfect match. I think it's a good foundation for summer, non-greasy, velvety finish, ultra lightweight, and it lasts pretty well. But in colder months, it may feels a little bit dry.

I was considering buying this but asked to try a sample first. Thank goodness.
I like how it "melted" into my skin on application, but it showed up every little flake. The tiny little bottle and dropper they gave me for the sample soon got totally clogged - the neck of it was so caked with product after a couple of days I no longer want to use it.
Worse, when I went to clean out the little bottle (it's cute and I wanted to re-use it) NOTHING would clean the product away. Not makeup remover, not soap, not WD40, not dishwashing detergent, not Mr. Clean floor cleaner, not Windex. That is scary.... I don't want that sort of product anywhere on my skin, thank you very much!

I am not a huge fan of the Maestro Fusion Makeup, especially since it makes my skin look extremely flakey (see video below, shows how flakey my skin looks). With the price of the Maestro foundation, I expected more from it! Secondly, the oil and the foundation splits into two separate parts if you don't use it for a while, which makes it quite gross (I got this from the Armani Store in Hong Kong too!).
However, that being said, if your skin is smooth and you just want to cover redness, this foundation would be perfect for you. Also, since it's oil based, my skin doesn't feel dry (despite it's still flakey). Yes, some beauticians told me to exfoliate more often, but given my sensitive skin, I try not to do too much exfoliate too often since it makes my skin even more sensitive. I am currently using the Hera UV BB Mist Cushion, it's cheaper than the Maestro Foundation, but the downside is, it's not too easy to find. I got mine from my trip to Korea.

The Elbert County Board of Education recently filled a newly created position within the school system.
The new administrative position is Director of Security for the Elbert County School System.
Elbert County School Superintendent Rick Higginbotham explains why the position was created.
"The culture in our society now, school safety and school security is really important and what we wanted to do is create a position whose sole purpose is to focus on the safety of our children and our school personnel", said Higginbotham.
He says that the Director of Security will have numerous responsibilities, and explains what some of those responsibilities are.
"The focus will be to evaluate the district's security program, coordinate preparation of reports for safety", explained Higginbotham. "Also, every school has an emergency procedure plan, which has to be approved by GEMA, but our director will make certain that all of those plans in each school follow the same template so code words mean the same across the entire system."
The board of education, during their last meeting, approved the hiring of Shane Bennett as the Director of Security for the Elbert County School System.
Bennett began his new role with the school system earlier this week on March 4th.

How will you talk in your head when it happens? You stand before the high council, as they decide your fate. You dressed up in an elegant Klingon costume. Well good for you. You brought your traditional Bat'leth, even better. Yet instead of learning the language, you tried to use a Klingon translator on the go. You weren't able to type fast enough, and in your hurry, you misspelled a word. Needless to say, the others at the convention were a little bit shocked at your lack of language master. What kind of warrior uses a Klingon translator in person? A Tagh you say? No you don't because they took away your translator and you don't even know what that means.
The lesson learned from this, is that despite having computer knowledge, an English to Klingon translator is not the best way to go around speaking. There are three fundamental problems with them:
#1. You have to have one with you at all times to use it effectively
#2. You won't actually learn the language like you want to
#3. Most of them are incomplete or don't provide all the words you need
What are some solutions? Make a better translator, if you are a programmer and know the langue ins and outs, you could do this. The problem with that is, if you knew the language that well, then this wouldn't be an issue. Another half-hearted solution is to keep on using incomplete Klingon translators, but you know where that got you in the first place. The third solution is different, actually learning the Klingon language. There are many resources out there to help you learn this real living language. Developed by a language expert, it is something you can use to connect with others. The next time you see others, you may not look quite like a Klingon because the smile on your face. When you are speaking fluently, you may even become head of a house, or have a seat on the high council. Let's face it, a Klingon translator is a fun toy, but if you are serious about being a Klingon of legend, then leave the translator back home on the pc where it belongs and check out these real page for learning Klingon
P.S. Those books and audios are pretty cheap, you may want to get a couple of them to see the different aspects of the language and culture.

Stories from Quick Reads and Portugal
Spain: Unconceivable Oblivion of an Atlético Madrid Football Club Fan
In an exciting football soccer match, Real Madrid team defeated with a final score of four goals to one the Atlético de Madrid for the Champions League championship, in the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. Fans from one and another team cheered their favorites in the Portuguese stadium. All but Jacinto, who minutes away from the starting kick and at the entrance of the packed stadium, realized he had forgotten his ticket at home, in Madrid.
Jacinto, socio número 474 del Atlético ,más de 50 años de socio. Se ha olvidado la entrada en casa, ha pedido una solución en @carrusel
— Carrusel Deportivo (@carrusel) Mayo 24, 2014
Jacinto, Atletico fan with ID 474, a fan for over 50 years. Has forgotten his ticket at home. He has asked for a solution on @carrusel.
Some Twitter users looked for the positive side of the situation and joked about it:
Mirémoslo por el lado bueno: de la que se ha librado Jacinto xddddd
— Josep Maria Sempere (@kr3at0r) Mayo 24, 2014
Let's consider the good angle: no worries for Jacinto xddddd
@PeterLimVCF Ídolo Jacinto. Es capaz de llegar a Madrid esta noche y no poder entrar en su casa porque se ha dejado las llaves en Lisboa.
— Mr. Julio (@JulioSanchis10) Mayo 24, 2014
An idol Jacinto. More surely he will arrive to Madrid tonight and won't be able to get into his house, as he left his keys in Lisbon.
European Citizens Call for the Protection of Media Pluralism
"European institutions should safeguard the right to free, independent and pluralistic information". The quote, from the Media Initiative website, summarizes the main idea behind a pan-European campaign that aims at urging the European Commission to draft a Directive to protect Media Pluralism and Press Freedom.
The Media Initiative is running a European Citizens' Initiative – a tool of participatory democracy "which allows civil society coalitions to collect online and offline one million signatures in at least 7 EU member states to present directly to the European Commission a proposal forming the base of an EU Directive, initiating a legislative process". The petition is available in 15 languages and can be signed online:
Protecting media pluralism through partial harmonization of national rules on media ownership and transparency, conflicts of interest with political office and independence of media supervisory bodies.
A short video presents the campaign:
New Global Voices Podcast in Portuguese
The prolific team of Global Voices in Portuguese have launched a new monthly podcast, Vozes Globais, with alternative news gleaned from the internet in all Portuguese speaking countries.
Portuguese journalist Vanessa Rodrigues (@lunacronica) is heading up the podcast in partnership with community radio station RadioManobras.pt. The goal is to partner with community radios in more Portuguese language countries to see the show re-broadcast internationally.
The idea for the podcast was born at a #GVMeetup event in Porto, Portugal in December 2013. For more information on the podcast or other activities of Global Voices' Portuguese language teams, please contact Sara Moreira.
"Beyond Brazil": European Journalists Wanted for Reporting Trips
Coolpolitics in Portugal announces [pt] an open call for European journalists who want to go on a reporting trip to Brazil in 2014. Twenty-one young reporters from Portugal, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, United Kingdom and Bulgaria will be selected to take part of three different groups that will cover events in Brazil, before and after the World Cup, while collaborating with Brazilian peers.
The Beyond Your World website explains the application process and the expected outcomes of this international reporting and training opportunity:
Ongoing demonstrations, the upcoming World Cup, preparations for the Olympic Games and approaching elections; 2014 is considered to be a very important year for Brazil. Consequently, many beautiful stories are out there and are waiting to be covered. Beyond Your World would likes to make a big contribution with this special project. We want to take this incredible opportunity to explore and tell stories in and from Brazil, not only by giving young journalists the chance to gain experience overseas, but also enabling them to work together with colleagues from different countries.
Deadline for applications is on January 10, 2014. This project – a cooperation between Lokaalmondiaal and the Brazilian media organisation Canal Futura – is part of the training program Beyond Your World which "seeks to inspire and enable the next generation of journalists to cover international development issues".
Portugal Says "Thank You Troika", Really?
Subverting the discourse of austerity, a protest was held in Lisbon earlier this week to "thank" the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European Commission for the ongoing measures to tackle the economic crisis in Portugal.
The protest took place on October 21, 2013, and gained the attention of mainstream media though journalists were surprised to find out that protesters were just being ironic:
De forma a: 1. mostrar, usando uma linguagem clara e sem subterfúgios o que realmente a troika e o governo querem, 2. tornar clarinho como água o que já sabiamos, que só 2% dos portugueses acredita que a austeridade está a funcionar; e 3. divulgar a manifestação de dia 26 de Outubro, o grupo Que se Lixe a troika, organizou este protesto recorrendo à ironia e ao humor.
Aiming at 1. showing, through a clear and direct language, what troika and the government really want; 2. making something we already knew crystal clear: that only 2% of the Portuguese believe austerity is working; and 3. spreading the word out about the protest called for October 26, the group Que se lixe a Troika (Screw Troika) organized this protest resorting to irony and humour.
In a video from October 21's action you can hear messages of "support" such as "485 euros a month?? Isn't that a bit too much? 150 or 200 would be just fine!" or:
We came here to thank Troika, to thank austerity, I believe we must get poorer, because not everyone can have rights, isn't it?
Check out the caption of the poster above for more information about the national protest called for October 26.
'I Saw You On The Train': Falling in Love on Portugal's Public Transport
A Facebook page called Vi-te No Comboio [pt] (I Saw You On The Train) aims to gather and share the stories of anonymous people who meet on the train and take an interest in the passenger next to them.
The stories are sent to the social network's administrators who then post them on the Facebook page and on the website vite.pt [pt]. The posts are organised with 'hashtags' which specify the train line where the characters met, facilitating their selection, such as for example the story of the meeting and separation of a man from the Alentejo region and the passenger Amélia [pt] on the #linhaEvora [pt] (Evora line), in one of the most moving texts on the page. In an interview with P3 [pt], the page's creators and administrators, Daniel, Tiago and Pedro (for reasons of privacy, they prefer not to divulge their surnames), admit that they were inspired by the website I Saw You, a platform which was created in 1997 by three friends from the USA who had themselves been inspired by the section of the Seattle Weekly newspaper dedicated to the issue of 'missed connections'. 'I Saw You On The Train' was recently extended to the metro, posting stories of those who met on the Porto or Lisbon metro. Numerous other pages with a similar aim to 'I Saw You On The Train' already exist, for example 'Vi-te No Autocarro' [pt] ('I Saw You On The Bus') and even 'Vi-te Num Concerto de Metal' [pt] ('I Saw You At A Metal Concert').
Intonaspacio: a New Digital Musical Instrument Made in Portugal
Mailis Rodrigues, a young talented Portuguese women has invented a new musical instrument and now needs help to show it to the world in an annual event to find the world's best new ideas in musical instrument design:
Hi, I was selected as one of the 20 semi-finalists of the Margaret Guthman competition with my PhD work. This competition chooses the best new music instrument. I have to travel to Atlanta in February to present Intonaspacio, the music instrument that I designed (you can take a look on how it looks like in the photos), to a juri. But I need some help to pay my trip to Atlanta. Please contribute, even if it's just 5 euros it would help me a lot. I can promise to send you a postcard from Atlanta. Thank you so much!
She explains what Intonaspacio is, and shows the instrument in action in the video below:
She has raised so far €1.275,00 out of the €1.500,00 she needs to cover the costs of her trip. To contribute, check her Go Fund Me campaign.
Understanding Human Rights in Portuguese-Speaking Countries
[All links lead to Portuguese language pages, except where otherwise stated]
The Portuguese language version of the educational manual for human rights "Understanding Human Rights" is available online. The website provides the complete manual in pdf format or divided into chapters, as well as training material, bibliographical references and institutional information specifically aimed at countries with Portuguese as an official language.
Originally [en] developed by the European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Graz, Austria, the Portuguese language version was produced by the Institute of International Law and Cooperation with Lusophone Countries and Communities at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra – "IUS Gentium Conimbrigae" (IGC), also known as Human Rights Centre (CDH):
Com este projeto pretende o IGC/CDH contribuir para uma difusão de informação teórica, prática e de acesso fácil relativa aos direitos humanos, na senda do artº 1º, nº 1, da Declaração das Nações Unidas sobre Educação e Formação em Direitos Humanos, de 2011, segundo a qual "Todas as pessoas têm direito a saber, procurar e receber informações sobre todos os direitos humanos e liberdades fundamentais e devem ter acesso à educação e formação em matéria de direitos humanos".
With this project, the IGC/CDH seeks to contribute to a dissemination of easily accessible theoretical and practical information relating to human rights, complying with Article 1, nº 1, of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training 2011, according to which "Everyone has the right to know, seek and receive information about all human rights and fundamental freedoms and should have access to human rights education and training".
In addition to Portuguese, the manual has already been published in 15 other languages [en].
Social Movements of Portugal Get Together to Debate Massive Protests
"What is the purpose of the massive protests?", a question that many Portuguese citizens have repeated since the economic crisis started, has become a motto for a Laboratory of Democracy organized by the non-profit association Academia Cidadã (Citizen Academy).
The "informal debate about the occupation of the public space in large scale demonstrations" in Portugal will take place on November 14, 2013, at The Nation Room – Embassy of No Land of 2013's Architecture Triennale of Lisbon, and will be broadcast via livestream:
O que muda no país quando centenas de milhares de pessoas se manifestam? Serve de alguma coisa dizer apenas que o caminho "não é por aí"? Se os políticos não ouvem de que serve perder um dia a gritar? E que alternativas e propostas têm os protestantes? Quem organiza as manifestações deve ser responsabilizado pela situações de violência? Ou a violência é a resposta possível ao estado a que chegámos? A polícia tem agentes infiltrados a criar agitação?
What is the change that comes in the country when hundreds of thousands of people demonstrate? Is there any point to just [criticize and] say that the path [to follow] is "not that way"? If politicians do not hear, then why should one waste a day shouting? And which alternatives and proposals do protesters have? Those who organize demonstrations should be made responsible for the situations of violence? Or is violence the possible answer to the state that we have reached? Does the police use undercover agents to "agitate"?
Aiming at "helping to create political, economic and social alternatives to the austerity", the debate, moderated by journalist São José Almeida, will bring together the main collectives that have mobilized massive protests in Portugal in the last years to share the "defeats, achievements and challenges to the current ways of protesting". Guests include members of the Geração à Rasca ("Scraping-By" Generation) protest that started the March 12 Movement back in 2011, Plataform October 15, Screw Troika!, and also the trade union federation CGTP (General Confederation of the Portuguese Workers). More activities hosted by Academia Cidadã are planned until November 16.
Future Places: Digital Media Tools for Citizenship
Future Places, a former digital media festival that is turning into a "media lab for citizenship" for its sixth edition, will take place in Porto, Portugal, from October 28 to November 2, 2013.
"A festival without an audience, where everyone who is present participates and discovers in real time ways of collaborating", explained curator Heitor Alvelos in an inspiring closing note [pt] of 2012's edition, recalling the ongoing motto since 2008 "technology are potential tools for the emancipation of citizens":
não subscrevemos o paradigma que está por detrás da instantaneidade vertiginosa e auto-referente dos gadgets digitais. Queremos usá-los, sim, mas recusamos a amnésia que muitas vezes transportam e induzem. Queremos simultaneamente honrar uma herança histórica, analógica, que atribui sentido e explica o que somos hoje; queremos cultivar a determinação que permite revoluções lentas, mudanças de paradigma a longo prazo; e participando em actos de contestação ao que é socialmente injusto, queremos simultaneamente propor.
we do not endorse the paradigm that lies behind the dizzying instantaneity and self-reference of digital gadgets. We want to use them, yes, but we refuse the amnesia that they often carry and induce. We both honor a historic and analog inheritance which gives sense and explains what we are today; we want to cultivate the determination that allows for slow revolutions, paradigm shifts in the long term; and while actively contesting what is socially unjust, we want to simultaneously make proposals.
The event will bring together scholars, artists, scientists and technologists for a week of practices and debate on digital media. A series of citizen labs will offer workshops on stopmotion, music, gaming, photography, and more.

Try removing the caps from the pipeline, as well of all those typefinds, that would simplify the debugging of the problem. Then send the log again if still fails.

Indonesia to remain best palm-oil producer within next decade
Publication Date : 21-06-2012
Amid soaring global demand for palm oil, Indonesia is predicted to remain dominant as the world's largest palm-oil producer within the next decade, on the back of its main rival Malaysia's land scarcity and aging plantations, says a report by financial service provider Rabobank.
According to the report, average palm-oil consumption in the world has grown at a faster rate than global supplies over the last 10 years, reaching demand of 2.5 million tons per year compared to production of 2.4 million tons per year, putting pressure on palm-oil producers to intensify their output.
"Due to demand outweighing supply, constraints are now apparent," said the report, titled: Palm Oil Outlook: Palm, the Leader of the Pack.
To meet global demand, palm-oil producers need to expand their plantations by 640,000 hectares of land per year. With that figure in mind, Indonesia's land availability is expected to last for another 12 years, as it still has 16 million to 17 million hectares of land that can be used for oil palm plantations.
On the other hand, Malaysia had mostly exhausted its land supply, leaving the country with only 600,000 hectares of suitable land as of now, said Rabobank International's associate director for food and agribusiness research and advice Pawan Kumar.
"Given the current land situation and the increasing regulatory, environmental and sustainability protocols, Malaysia may run out of suitable land for palm cultivation within three to four years," he said during a press conference in Jakarta yesterday.
Besides land scarcity, Malaysia also faced the problem of aging plantations, with 87 per cent of its total planted areas already matured. In comparison, only 76 per cent of Indonesia's total planted areas had reached maturity, indicating potential for future production growth in the country, suggested the report.
"The Malaysian plantation sector is relatively mature and there is very little land left for expansion," the report said.
Rabobank's corporate and investment banking director, Eri Budiono, also shared the same bright outlook for Indonesia as he predicted that the country could produce up to 55 per cent of the world's palm oil by 2020, up from 48 per cent last year, due to its advantages.
But the US might not be among those palm-oil buyers in the future as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added Indonesia's crude palm oil (CPO) to its imported commodities' blacklist in January this year based on allegations that Indonesia's CPO produces higher carbon emissions than the minimum level required by the EPA.
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that Indonesia's palm oil is of a lower quality than Malaysia's. They are just better at image building and public relations than us, so the outside world has this misperception about the quality and sustainability of Indonesia's palm oil," Budiono said.
Despite this, Indonesia has for the first time this year overtaken Malaysia as the world's largest sustainable palm-oil producer due to its increased certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) production.
Looking ahead, Indonesia's palm-oil industry still faces many hurdles, however, in securing and developing land due to lack of infrastructure, land costs and complex social issues, according to the report.

If you ask the 12 people seeking elected offices this year in the City of Jonesboro about the city's most pressing issues, they will frequently mention three items: balancing the budget, addressing the town's recently instituted property tax, and attracting new businesses.
Some candidates also say the city needs better communication between City Hall and residents, as well as more-defined plans for re-developing the city.
Voters in Jonesboro are being asked to pick a mayor and three council members in this year's municipal elections. Mayoral candidates include current Mayor Luther Maddox, former Mayor Joy Day, and small business owner, John Templeman.
The people seeking the council seats include current Councilmen Wallace Norrington, Roger Grider and Bobby Wiggins, as well as former Councilmen Billy Powell and Rick Yonce, business owner Jack Bruce, pawn shop owner Wayne Day (not related to Joy Day), retired Clayton County Juvenile Court program coordinator, Suzanne Igler, and real estate broker, Randy Segner.
Early voting is already under way, but the official election day is Nov. 8. In addition to choosing a mayor and councilmembers, voters will also decide whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales inside the city limits. The top vote-getter in the mayor's race will take the job, while the top three vote-getters in the council race will take seats on the council for the next four years.
This week, the candidates talked to a reporter about what they feel are the most pressing issues in Jonesboro, and what they would do if elected.
The Mayoral Candidates
• Luther Maddox, 70, has been part of Jonesboro's government since 2001. He first served as a member of the city council, but defeated Joy Day in 2007, to become mayor. He said he grew up in Clayton County, has lived in the city, off-and-on, all of his life.
He said he has "a lot of things in place, that I want to see through to completion," including the city's Streetscape development, and efforts to balance the city's budget. Maddox said he wants to get construction work on Streetscape's second phase begun next year. He also said he wants to keep Jonesboro out of debt, and get the city to a point where its leaders do not have to take money from the town's financial reserves to balance budgets. He said he would like to do that by limiting spending in the city.
"The most pressing issue facing the city is the economy," Maddox said. "The city has limited control over what the economy does, but we have a responsibility to be fiscally responsible ... We have to keep the city solvent, and continue to provide city services to the citizens at the same time."
• Joy Day, 63, was Jonesboro's mayor for 12 years, and is a retired Clayton County Public Schools teacher and administrator. She said she has lived in Jonesboro since 1971.
Day said there are three areas she wants to focus on: Law enforcement, finances and communication between city leaders and residents. She explained that while the city has "great officers" in the police department, the department's budget needs to be increased, so it has the tools to continue keeping residents safe. The former mayor also said she would work on developing "out of the box" ways to manage the city's budget, as well as develop a new strategic plan, to guide future growth in the city, and update the town's Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) plan.
She also said she would like to update the city's web site, to make it a better source of information, bring back Jonesboro's newsletter, and offer more activities that involve more residents.
"They [residents] need to feel like they are a part of the city," she said. "We need to embrace every person who lives in this city, and treat them as very important parts of our community."
• John Templeman, 52, is a political newcomer, although he regularly attends Jonesboro City Council meetings. He was born in Jonesboro, but moved to Fayette County, and lived there for 19 years. He said he moved back to Jonesboro 12 years ago. He still owns a property development business in Fayette County.
Templeman said he would take steps to cut expenses in the city, starting with cutting his mayoral salary by 25 percent. He also said he would roll back the recently re-instituted millage rate, as a first step in drawing new businesses to the city. He would also like to create a new business district, near the Harold R. Banke Justice Center, on Tara Boulevard, using the court facility as anchor to attract businesses, such as restaurants and gas stations. He added that he believes the city's downtown area cannot be re-vitalized until the local economy improves. "That [the county courts] was a our anchor in downtown, and now that's moved across Tara Boulevard," Templeman said. "There's no drawing card to downtown anymore, nothing to bring people to town. We've got to start a new area, to tie the old to the new."
The City Council Candidates
• Roger Grider, 66, who has been on the city council for five years, echoed Templeman's opposition to the property tax. Grider said, if re-elected, he would work to get enough votes on the council to roll the city's millage rate back to zero mills, where it had been for several years, until the council raised it to 1.5 mills, this fall. Grider was one of the council members who voted against the tax.
He said the tax issue was the reason why he chose to run for re-election this year. He also said he wanted to keep the city's homestead exemption at $60,000, despite a push from Maddox to have a referendum on lowering it to $30,000. Grider said rolling back the tax rate is the key to bringing in new businesses. "We have got to attract more businesses, and I don't think we do that by adding more taxes on them," he said. "That's dual taxation, because everybody is already paying county property taxes."
• Bobby Wiggins, 63, who has been on the council for 6 years, said the tax was needed to keep the city from having to continually dip into its reserves to balance its budget. "I just think we shouldn't have rolled the millage rate back in the first place," he said. "If it wasn't set at zero, then maybe, it [the city's financial situation] wouldn't have gotten to where it is now."
Wiggins and Grider offered similar suggestions, however, for ways to attract new businesses to Jonesboro — offer financial incentives, such as breaks from business license fees, to new businesses. "I know we need the money, but we could offer tax breaks, or fee waivers to get businesses to move into the city," he said. Wiggins also said he wanted to spend another term working to bring together the different factions in the city, so they could work together to improve Jonesboro.
Suzanne Igler, 65, an 11-year resident of Jonesboro, and a political newcomer, said she would like to focus on planned redevelopment of the city. She said she was a member of Jonesboro's Downtown Development Authority (DDA), until it was dissolved by city leaders in late 2006, and she would like to work on getting the DDA re-instituted, "because it affords the city many opportunities for development."
She also said she would like to continue meeting with residents after the election, while working to establish collaborations between the city and county agencies, including the school system, and beautification groups. "I think we need to make this a place that is children friendly, because they are the generation that is going to keep Jonesboro alive," she said.
Wallace Norrington, 67, who has been on the city council for 20 years, said he wants to see Streetscape completed, which is one of the reasons why he is seeking re-election. He said Jonesboro's 2012 budget is going to be one of the city's most pressing, upcoming issues, "because the economy is so low." He added that the council needs people with experience in city government to deal with the budget, and that cuts will need to be made in the next budget. "We're going to have to look at all of the departments, to see if we have any fat that we can cut out," he said.
Randy Segner, 59, said he was "not real confident in the budget that was put forth" last winter. He expressed skepticism in the projected expenses included in the city's 2011 budget, echoing sentiments that have been expressed by Jonesboro City Councilmembers Clarence Mann and Joe Compton. Segner announced this week that his campaign has received an endorsement from Compton. He said he would like to create an ad hoc committee to look into ways to attract new businesses. He said he believes the city should leverage its ties to Margaret Mitchell's novel "Gone With the Wind" to attract businesses, such as bed-and-breakfast inns and restaurants.
He admitted there are obstacles to building an industry around the book, in this day and age, though. "There was an opportunity to do that, and it kind of passed us by," he said. "Hopefully, it can be rekindled."
Billy Powell, 59, said the city needs to learn to "live within its financial means" and stop "unnecessary spending." The former councilmember added that more people are needed on the council who feel spending cuts should be made before taxes are raised. "We need enough people wise enough to do away with wasteful spending," he added. He served on the council for two years, before losing a re-election bid in 2009. The former city councilman said, if elected, he would like to maintain Jonesboro's neighborhoods, and protect citizens.
"If you've got a good residential base, that will attract new businesses to the city," he said. But, Powell added that the city council needs to take a stronger stand in dealing with the mayor, by being more willing to stand up to the city's top elected official. "The mayor should not be allowed to think he, or she, is a king, or queen," he said. "The council has been so weak in recent years, that it has allowed to the mayor to think that way."
Rick Yonce, 52, also said cuts need to be made in the city's expenses, rather than raising taxes, saying that "everybody is being taxed to death." He said he has some ideas for cutting the budget, some of which "people will agree with," but he declined to go into specifics about those ideas. "Any budget is going to have to be more cautious with how we spend money," he said.
He did reveal, however, that he wants to see restrictions placed on the police department's take-home vehicle policy, so officers are not allowed to take their car home, if they do not live near the city limits. "For them to drive their cars home [to locations outside Clayton County], and then have us pay for the gas is unreasonable," said Yonce, who added that he supports Jonesboro's police department.
Wayne Day, 61, said he would, if elected, work to support the police department's efforts to combat crime, referring to the department as the city's "most important asset." He said Jonesboro is currently one of the safest cities in Clayton County, because of the department, and its officers, and he would like to provide more funding to the department. "My goal is to keep it [the city] safe, and it's time for Christian values," he said. "It's time to be serious about government." He added, however, that, like Powell, he feels the city should live within its financial means. Day said he would also like to initiate programs, such as the establishment of neighborhoods that cater to senior citizens, to put people into some of Jonesboro's vacant homes. "I'm going to spend the next four years trying to turn around some of these empty houses that we have in our city," he said.
Jack Bruce could not be reached for comment, although he and a reporter spent two days playing "phone tag" with each other. But, he explains his plans for what he'll do as a council member on his web site, votejackbruce.com/.
On the web site, Bruce said he would use his experience as the chief executive officer of VSP, Inc., to "work diligently to assure that the city operates at peak performance" by working with other councilmembers to manage the city's income and "use the money wisely, and eliminate any inefficiency."
Meet The Candidates
City residents will get a chance to meet the candidates, and hear them talk about their plans for the city next week. One of Jonesboro's residents, Sonja Sleeper, is planning to host a candidates' forum/meet-and-greet event on Nov. 4, from 7 p.m., to 9 p.m., at the Jonesboro Fire House Museum and Community Center, located at 103 West Mill Street, in Jonesboro.
She said several candidates have agreed to attend.

Biden mixes Virginia, North Carolina during campaign stop
(CNN) — Vice President Joe Biden leveled a heavy charge at Mitt Romney on Tuesday, arguing the presumptive GOP nominee's proposed policies on Wall Street reform would be detrimental for Americans.
"(Romney) is going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street," Biden said at a campaign event in Danville, Virginia. "He is going to put y'all back in chains."
The former Massachusetts governor has previously stated his opposition to the so-called Dodd-Frank bill, also known as the financial reform bill signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The bill was designed to reign in risky practices and prevent another Wall Street meltdown similar to the one that occurred in 2008.
Critics, including Romney, rail against the legislation for being too heavy with regulation and argue the new law is crippling for small banks. However, the Republican candidate has clarified his position in the past, saying he does not support the "deregulation" of Wall Street, as some in the GOP have trumpeted, and argued instead that some regulations are necessary.
"Of course you have to have laws and regulations to make free markets able to produce and to be effective," Romney said at a fund-raising event in London last month. "But you have to make the regulations modern and up to date."
"Dealing with all the new regulatory burden has caused a lot of community banks to pull back–at the very time we'd like them to step forward and provide financing to small business," Romney continued. "I'd like to get rid of Dodd-Frank and go back and look at regulation piece by piece."
Some conservatives Tuesday were quick to react on Twitter to Biden's remarks, making a racial connection between the vice president's "chains" comment and slavery.
Responding to Biden's speech, Romney's campaign said Team Obama has "reached a new low."
"The comments made by the Vice President of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama Campaign will say and do anything to win this election," Romney national press secretary Andrea Saul said in a statement. "President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden's comments."
Biden's Wall Street attack line was one of many launched at the Republican rival and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, during the vice president's speech Tuesday.
It marked the second day in a row in which Biden has unleashed some digs at the recently-formed GOP ticket. Piling onto comments he made the day prior, Biden argued the selection of Ryan now defines Romney.
"Before Governor Romney had a tendency to either be vague or change his position a lot. Well, it's now clear," Biden said, adding that there's "no distinction" between the policies of House Republicans and Romney.
The vice president also recycled a Washington Post report from June that claimed Romney's former private equity firm, Bain Capital, was a "pioneer" in advising the practice of outsourcing. Democrats have since used the report to peg Romney as a would-be "outsourcer-in-chief," though Romney's team argues the former Bain CEO had left the company before the firm began wading into the field of outsourcing.
Biden, however, wasted no time taking multiple jabs at Romney over the issue, including a new line: "Everybody wants to be a pioneer, but I don't want to be on that wagon train."
The vice president, who recently returned from a beachside vacation, resumed the campaign trail this week, where he's known as the president's attack dog and pulls no punches in criticizing the Republican opposition.
While thanking the Virginia crowd and closing out his speech, however, the vice president made a mistake, mixing up the state in which he was speaking.
"With you we can win North Carolina again," he said, before exiting the stage.
Biden campaigned Monday in North Carolina, but has events all day in Virginia on Tuesday.

Rebecca Trousil
(Washington University in Saint Louis)
In 2004, we launched a new calculus-based, introductory physics sequence at Washington University. Designed as an alternative to our traditional lecture-based sequence, the primary objectives for this new course were to actively engage students in the learning process, to significantly strengthen students' conceptual reasoning skills, to help students develop higher level quantitative problem solving skills necessary for analyzing ``real world'' problems, and to integrate modern physics into the curriculum. This talk will describe our approach, using The Six Ideas That Shaped Physics text by Thomas Moore, to creating an active learning environment in large classes as well as share our perspective on key elements for success and challenges that we face in the large class environment.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
28:1-8 Christ rose the third day after his death; that was the time he had often spoken of. On the first day of the first week God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. On this day did He who is the Light of the world, shine out of the darkness of the grave; and this day is from henceforward often mentioned in the New Testament, as the day which Christians religiously observed in solemn assemblies, to the honour of Christ. Our Lord Jesus could have rolled back the stone by his own power, but he chose to have it done by an angel. The resurrection of Christ, as it is the joy of his friends, so it is the terror and confusion of his enemies. The angel encouraged the women against their fears. Let the sinners in Zion be afraid. Fear not ye, for his resurrection will be your consolation. Our communion with him must be spiritual, by faith in his word. When we are ready to make this world our home, and to say, It is good to be here, then let us remember our Lord Jesus is not here, he is risen; therefore let our hearts rise, and seek the things that are above. He is risen, as he said. Let us never think that strange which the word of Christ has told us to expect; whether the sufferings of this present time, or the glory that is to be revealed. It may have a good effect upon us, by faith to view the place where the Lord lay. Go quickly. It was good to be there, but the servants of God have other work appointed. Public usefulness must be chosen before the pleasure of secret communion with God. Tell the disciples, that they may be comforted under their present sorrows. Christ knows where his disciples dwell, and will visit them. Even to those at a distance from the plenty of the means of grace, he will graciously manifest himself. The fear and the joy together quickened their pace. The disciples of Christ should be forward to make known to each other their experiences of communion with their Lord; and should tell others what God has done for their souls.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 4. - And for fear of him; but from the fear of him. From the fear inspired by this awful angel. It would seem, from this expression, that the soldiers were sensible, not only of the earthquake and the movement of the stone, but also of the presence of the heavenly messenger, in this respect differing from the companions of Daniel and St. Paul, who were only partially conscious of the visions beheld by the two saints (see Daniel 10:7; Acts 22:9). Did shake. The verb is cognate with the noun "earthquake;" they were shaken, convulsed with terror. If these were some of the company that had watched the Crucifixion, they were already possessed of some feeling respecting the unearthly nature of the Occupant of the tomb which they were guarding, and had a vague expectation of something that might happen. At any rate, they must have heard the late events discussed by their comrades, and were not without apprehension of a catastrophe. Became as dead men. They fell to the ground in deathlike faintness, and, when they recovered from the trance, fled in terror from the tomb into the city (ver. 11).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And for fear of him the keepers did shake,.... Though they were soldiers, Roman soldiers and veterans, who had been used to terrible sights in the field of battle; were men of courage, and fearless of danger; and yet were seized with a panic, and every limb of them shook and trembled at the sight of the angel, for fear he was come as an executioner of divine vengeance upon them; who had been concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, had watched him as he hung upon the cross, and now his body in the sepulchre: and even supposing no consciousness of guilt in them, or dread of punishment from him; yet such was the glory and majesty in which he appeared, of which they had never seen the like before, that it had this effect upon them:
and became as dead men: they turned pale, as dead men, and had scarce any life, or spirit, left in them.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

A miniature pig named Clive has sent shockwaves through the swine style community with his choice of bold footwear! A resident at the Pennywell Farm in Devon, England, the little pig's keeper thought dressing him up in cherry red wellington boots would be a good training exercise for Clive, who will one day be adopted by a family.
"Miniature pigs are sold only as pets," Chris Murray explains to PEOPLEPets.com, "and therefore we know that, as all pets are, they will be played with ... its important that nothing particularly worries them or gets stressful."
So they picked up the adorable red boots -- originally made as accessories for a Paddington bear stuffed animal -- from a local toy shop and Clive tried them on for size, and a photo op was born.
"Being a little fellow and more sensitive to having wet feet he was quite happy to pop two 'bears' of boots on," says Murray. The mini pig was perfect for this little experiment because most have a "gentle character, easy going attitude," he adds.
Is the trend catching on with other pigs at the farm? "No, being bespoke footwear they are rather expensive and also fashion, it changes so fast," jokes Murray.

What is Quality Assurance?
Quality Assurance, from the name itself is the act of guaranteeing that products and services match the required standards in the industry. A quality insurance inspector works by determining a set of products and determines if those standards are met.
Quality Assurance Inspector Job Duties
Quality assurance inspectors work closely with products and samples them by measuring and testing if those manufactured goods have met quality standards. These standards are closely guarded by the International Standards Organization and the American National Standards Institute standards. Quality assurance inspectors or supervisors may have several technicians under their authority also performing quality assurance work.
Why Choose a Quality Assurance Career?
Quality assurance jobs are bountiful and can be found almost anywhere where there are industries in the metropolitan. If you want to have a job that pays good and requires a little investigating then a job in the quality assurance field is definitely for you. There are at least 82% of quality assurance inspectors being employed in manufacturing facilities and most of them involve around checking standards of manufacturing products. The need for professionally trained inspectors is a booming industry. Manufacturing never stops as long as there are service or goods, inspectors are needed.
Enrolling in a Quality Assurance Program
Quality assurance inspectors require you to at least finish high school and at least be 18 years of age when enrolled in the program. Usually, schools offering quality assurance programs offer a two year associate degree or four-year bachelors degree. Students enrolled in the program are taught in the field of Engineering. It could be in Mechanical, or Industrial engineering as mostly these courses are the most sought after when it comes to manufacturing. Students are also immersed in real life situations through on-the-job training.
Jobs as a Quality Assurance Inspector
Quality assurance inspector are responsible in measuring products against a set of define set of tests. Inspectors often do recordings and testing daily depending on the required output. Inspectors are also task in proving reports to quality assurance engineers who formulate plans to improve product quality. Not only that, they are also assign to do charts, and graphs of a production line.
