Least favorite exercise
"I hate doing arms. I care what my body looks like, but I can't have bulging arm muscles. In golf it's so important for me to stay limber and I'm nervous that if I work my arms up then I'll lose my flexibility."
Why he's not into yoga and Pilates
"My A.D.D. immediately kicks in," Kim jokes. When Kim's golf coach at the University of Oklahoma made the team take Pilates, he couldn't figure out why Kim always went to the back of the class. "Usually I'm always in front trying to beat everyone else," Kim says. During Pilates, he rolled up extra mats and napped in the back of the room.
Breakfast of champions
A breakfast burrito with chicken, rice and jalapenos.
Diet pitfall
"I'm never full, so I just keep eating," says Kim, whose appetite may rival swim star Michael Phelps's 12,000-calorie diet. When a friend challenged him to a pizza-eating contest, Kim gobbled 21 slices. Even though he was fit and active as a teen, he was a big kid. At 15 he weighed 210 pounds. Today, the 5-foot-10-inch Kim weighs 160 pounds and follows a much healthier diet, heavy on complex carbs and lean protein. "I hate salads, but if my mom found out I wasn't eating my vegetables, she wouldn't be happy so I do it for her."
While I'm working out
"I'm listening to music and trying not to think about the workout because although it feels good after, who really enjoys sitting there and doing 300 sit-ups? Mentally, I enjoy it because I know its going to improve my game, but it's terrible when you're gasping for air."
After a workout, I most look forward to
"Lying on the couch and watching ESPN."
How he prepares for a tournament
Kim listens to his iPod while practicing and warming up. His tournament playlists always include "My Life" by the Game featuring Lil Wayne; "We Made It" by Busta Rhymes with Linkin Park; and "Stay" by Sugarland. An hour or so before Kim has to tee off, he turns off the iPod. "I talk as much as I can to get all of my nervous energy out. I don't want that around when I have to make a 10-foot putt."

American Airlines is seeking to reassure objectors to the proposed collateral of its up to $3.25 billion South American route financing.
The Fort Worth-based carrier says that the debt, known as the SGR financing, would only be secured by unencumbered "slots, gates and route authorities" and excludes property that is subject to transfer restrictions, including some airport leases, in a bankruptcy court filing on 6 May.
Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon and Wilmington Trust raised concerns regarding whether the collateral would include assets that secure existing American debt financings, and Dallas-Fort Worth International airport filed an objection citing language in its lease with American that bars the airline from using facilities at the airport as collateral, in court filings earlier this month.
American plans to secure the proposed debt with slots, gates and route authorities associated with its South American operation, and possibly with its Central American and Mexico operations, according to a filing on 25 April.
The SGR financing would be split between an up to $2.25 billion secured term loan with a six-year tenor and a $1 billion revolving credit facility with a five-year tenor.
Proceeds would be split between partially repaying $450 million in outstanding principal and $73 million in outstanding interest payments on its 10.5% senior secured notes that were due in October 2012, and to boost liquidity.
Barclays Capital, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have provided American with commitments to act as joint lead arrangers of the debt. Rothschild is financial adviser to the airline.

A North Charleston Police Department investigation netted 11 arrests on Wednesday in connection with a prostitution operation on Remount Road, spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
The police department's SPEED Team conducted the sting at the Remount Village shopping center, 1357 Remount Road, after community members complained of prostitution in that area, Pryor said.
Ten people were charged with solicitation for prostitution as a result of the investigation, Pryor said. An eleventh person was charged with disorderly conduct, he said.
Each accused person faces a $470 fine, Pryor said.

My dear father and a man of God who taught Sunday School at Full Gospel Holiness Church in Canton, North Carolina went home to be with Jesus on May 5, 2005.
Andrew ('Andy') Shreve, my father, just went home to be with Jesus: Thursday, May 5th, 2005. He would have been eighty-one this coming September 8th. After struggling with lung cancer for about a year-and-a-half, his body finally succumbed to this devastating disease.
However, Andy Shreve did not die. He merely "passed from death unto life." (Jn. 5:24) His soul left this world with "the promise of the Father" (the indwelling of God's Spirit) and the "blessed hope" (the expectation of ultimate bodily resurrection). (Ac. 1:4, Ti. 2:13)
Let me tell you a little bit about his story. After graduating from Gonzaga (a Roman Catholic High School), he went on to serve in the U.S. Navy. He flew PB4Y2 Liberators for coastal reconnaissance, including service in the Hurricane Hunter Squadron (and flew a number of times into the eye of a hurricane to take weather measurements—yes, he had "the right stuff"). This was followed by several years of shipboard duty, culminating with the position of Commander of the USS Meredith, a destroyer in the Atlantic Fleet. His twenty-year career was brought to full circle with distinguished duty at the Pentagon. Then for over thirty years he became a successful small business consultant, specializing in tax matters. Through all of these stages of life, he was a devoted husband and father.
During his earthly sojourn, my father was a man of integrity. He was a man of compassion. He was a man of honor.
Most of all, he was a man of God. As an adult Sunday School teacher at Full Gospel Holiness Church in Canton, North Carolina, he loved to teach God's Word—especially the book of Proverbs. But he didn't just teach it; he lived it. He was honest in his dealings with others, full of wisdom and always ready to share his knowledge with others unselfishly. He left the legacy of a life well lived to his four offspring (two daughters, Winnie Jean and Betty, and two sons, Mike and Bob) and five grandchildren (Winnie Kay, Sam, Zoe, Seth and Destiny) who all love him dearly. He is also survived by others who were very dear to him: his son-in-law, Chuck Booker, and his daughters-in-law, Elizabeth Shreve (wife of Mike) and Darlene Cridlin (wife of Bob).
Dad had a deep love for God, as far as I know, his entire life. He served as an altar boy and at one time even contemplated entering the priesthood (I and my siblings are quite ecstatic that he decided not to walk this road, but to live a married life instead). The spiritual experience that dramatically altered his life happened later in his life, in the early 80s.
After I was born again in 1970, I began fervently praying for my family (believing the promise, "You will be saved…and your household" Ac. 16:31). Soon after, my mother was born again and filled with the Spirit, but it was twelve years later before Dad had this kind of life-transforming encounter with God. And it happened in such a unique way!!!
Dad developed such a severe neck condition that for seven days his head was in a bowed position. He finally checked into Winter Park Hospital. Later on that night, he called me on the phone and said "Mike, you won't believe what happened to me." He then proceeded to explain his week-long dilemma, but he went on to tell how God had manifested Himself to him supernaturally. I was in awe as he detailed what had taken place.
He decided since his head was locked into a bowed position, and he was stuck in a hospital room with nothing to do, he might as well pray
("Subtle hint from heaven, Dad"). So he proceeded to THANK God for every good thing God had done in his life, beginning from his earliest memories. It took him about two hours (I wonder how many people have ever done that). Then he told me, "Mike, I ran out of things to thank God for, so I decided just to PRAISE Him just because He is God!" I thought to myself, "Dad, you may not have known it, but you were exercising a Biblical principle. Psalm 100:4 commands that we "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise."
Dad then excitedly conveyed to me the divine visitation he received,
"While I was praising God, a golden light came the hospital room. Suddenly, the golden color turned into a crimson red—then
the face of Jesus Christ appeared in the light (battered, beaten, bloodied and crowned with thorns) and waves of red light began pouring over me."
He continued, "I knew I was being bathed in the blood of Jesus and I knew I was being born
again." For a month after this powerful visionary experience, Dad was often found weeping with gratitude.
Soon after that, he and Mom decided to renew their vows—since they were finally "one in the Spirit." And guess who they chose to conduct the ceremony? (Yours truly, of course—and in the most unlikely place—a tent meeting I was conducting in Lake Placid, Florida.)
What a privilege it was to remarry my own parents! (I've definitely gotten a number of comments on this unique arrangement.)
During that same tent meeting God planned another divine manifestation for Dad. One night he was singing a song about the blood of Jesus. (As I remember, it was "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power.") Suddenly, he had his second vision of the Lord, lifted up on a cross. Three drops of blood fell from the nail-pierced hand of the Lord and struck him on the forehead. When the third drop fell he prayed, "Lord, fill me with Your Spirit" and he immediately began speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit flowed through him in power. That was quite a night—an unforgettable experience indeed! Of course, this empowerment came to prepare him for ministry later on.
The last two weeks of April (2005)—Dad and Mom called all the children, urging us all to come quickly to Winter Park. He was bleeding profusely from the place where the feeding tube had been inserted (his only means of sustenance for about six months). He was in a lot of pain. He felt like God may call him home at any moment. For about 14 days his bed had been surrounded by those he loved, first in the hospital and then, back at the home on Fifeshire Drive in Winter Park. Some memorable things, even some remarkable things, happened that deserve to be told.
Andrew Shreve with his wife Winnie.
At the hospital, Dad was just overflowing with love toward everyone who came in the room. Several nurses even commented that they wished all of their patients were like him. He was so unafraid of what seemed imminent. (Of course, the Bible explains, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." Ps. 23:4)
One day I asked Dad if he wanted me to read the Bible to him. He responded eagerly and said, "Turn to Proverbs 31. I love Proverbs 31." I began reading this excellent chapter that celebrates "a virtuous woman" and declares "her price" to be "far above rubies." Dad's face just glowed. Every chance he got, he broke in with statements like, "That's exactly like your mother. Or maybe, "I've been so blessed to married to someone like that."
I continued reading, "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her…She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life." (vss. 11-12) "Her children arise up, and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her…A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." (vss. 28, 30) Then after he embellished the chapter with all kinds of references to Mom, he drifted off to sleep with a look of utter contentment and peace on his face. I was awed. I thought, "Almost anyone else would have asked for some chapter to be read about the heavenly hope waiting in the near future. Instead, he wanted to celebrate the wife of 62 years he was leaving behind." What a unique man! And what a wonderful woman! And how blessed I am to have parents of such covenant commitment to each other!
The last day of Dad's life, he knew the time of his departure had come. He asked me with a somewhat distressed look on his face,
"Mike, am I dying?" I couldn't bring myself to even use that word. I said,
"Dad, you are just beginning to live." That seemed to be a sufficient answer for him. He fell asleep. Because of the weakness of his body, and the pain-killing drugs, he kept slipping in and out of consciousness. A number of times, things happened that made it clear God was getting him ready for the next world.
My lovable, sweet niece, Winnie Kay (daughter of my sister, Winnie Jean—yes, it is a family name passed down) was standing near his bed. Without warning he awoke out of sleep and startled her with the statement,
"I JUST SAW HIM…AND I TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT!" How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful to imagine what he must have witnessed! Several times he awoke saying,
"Death unto life. DEATH UNTO LIFE, DEATH UNTO LIFE!"
The very last few moments, though, were totally unique. We (Mom and all the children) were gathered around the hospital bed on the back porch where Dad was laying. We were singing along with a tape by Andy Griffith of Gospel hymns (Dad's favorite tape). The Holy Spirit was so strong in the room. Then Dad's blood pressure started dropping. His breathing was labored and we knew the time had come. We could hardly feel a heartbeat in his chest. Then the strangest thing happened! But if you are to understand the significance, I've got to back up a few years.
Back in the 90's Mom had crippling arthritis. She was really in bad shape. She could hardly get out of bed. For a long time, she prayed that God would heal her and nothing seemed to change. But then one day, as she lay there, looking outside the bedroom window, a beautiful redbird softly lit on the windowsill. Immediately, the power of God fell on Mom and she was instantly healed. She's never suffered with arthritis since. From that time forward, the redbird has always been a special sign to her of God's care, His provision and His power to deliver. In her mind, the color red especially represents the precious blood of Jesus, the price paid for our healing: body, mind, soul and spirit.
Well, as Dad was drawing his last breaths, my sister Winnie gasped,
"Look! A redbird!" It had flown down and was perched in the orange tree in the back yard, just outside of the porch window, not too far from Dad's bed. We all agreed that it was a sign from above. Then Dad took his last breath and his spirit went back to God. At the very same moment, the redbird took to flight. It was as if God was saying, "I'm taking him home, to a much better place! I am healing him of all his pain." I have never experienced anything to compare with what I felt that day, especially that moment. Yes, it was terribly sad (as death always is), but it was wonderfully full of God's personal involvement. What a unique way of testifying of the relationship Dad shared with the Almighty.
The Sign of the Redbird
The REDBIRD came
To take a son home—
The sign of the blood
That washes God's own.
As he drew his last breath,
And his spirit took FLIGHT,
The cardinal took wing
And flew out of sight.
A spirit of weeping
Fell on those who remained,
A great sense of AWE
Filled the ones who were pained.
How could GOD in His greatness
Choose to speak in this way?
Because He'd done it before
On a notable day—
When arthritis departed
From the suffering wife
The redbird appeared
A SIGN of health and new life.
The connection was apparent
And understood by all.
This was GOD intervening,
And a heaven-sent CALL—
"Come, Andrew, My son
And rise to your rest;
No longer in pain
But eternally BLESSED!"
"You trusted My Word;
And your faith did not waver.
Now join Me in heaven
And live on FOREVER!"
The only way I can sum it up is to say—Dad, the former hurricane hunter, finally reached the eye of another kind of storm and found peace in God. For this we are thankful. But still we miss him deeply.,
"Dad, we plan on seeing you again one day—'In the Sweet By and
By'. May God help us to live lives of integrity and honesty, just like you did, and be a praise to God in the earth!"

"The man made
of dust is the pattern of all men of dust, and the heavenly man is the pattern
of all THE HEAVENLY." (1 Corinthians 15:48 NEB)
Though we, the sons of God, are
still bound to Adam-dust, we can dare to refer to ourselves as the heavenly.
God has made us to "sit together in heavenly places," allowed us to
taste "of the heavenly gift," and daily preserves us unto "His
heavenly kingdom." (Ephesians 2:6, Hebrews 6:4, 2 Timothy 4:18)
Meditation verses:
"There is one
glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for
one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is
raised in incorruption.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is
raised in power.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being."
The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the
The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from
As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the
heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly Man.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
"O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
1 Corinthians
"Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,"
Ephesians 1:3 (NKJ)
"These all
died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off
were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and
pilgrims on the earth.
For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.
And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out,
they would have had opportunity to return.
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God
is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for
Hebrews 11:13-16 (NKJ)

And I used to always find postcards in vendor kiosks or
tourist shops, but now I realize I can take advantage of this mini format by painting
and drawing postcards of my own and then sending them to friends and loved
Working on a postcard-size scale means I have to create
tighter composition because there is no room to waste. In such a small format,
I've come to realize that an angle of action is key. Filling in all of the
space on the postcard tends to make the scene read flatly, so I try to pick a
strong diagonal or X-shaped arrangement that offers white space around the main
action to give more impact to the objects I am depicting.
Also, using less detail works to my advantage when creating a landscape painting and prevents
my hand from cramping as I try to use tiny controlled brush or pencil strokes to capture
everything I see. But that's definitely not the only way of working. My amateur
abilities have led me to try and suss out the crucial parts of a scene so I
don't mess it up trying to add detail upon detail (especially in a watercolor painting!), but the more skilled you
are, the more you might be able to incorporate. Go for it!
The other thing I will keep in mind during all my travels and
adventures is to experiment with mixed media and maybe use watercolors because they are so easily transportable. If I'm stumped over how to deal with a
scene I want to depict, I can also take leeway into abstraction if I think it resonates with the feel of the place. To see more about what I mean, consider Mark Mehaffey's Kit on Landscape Painting and Abstract Landscapes, and you'll soon be ready to make your own art when traveling and having adventures away from home. Enjoy!
This April special offer from the North Light Shop brings you a 9" x 12" pad of YUPO® paper perfect for getting started. Plus, you'll receive three DVDs featuring Mark Mehaffey that teach you about the unique properties of this paper and techniques you can utilize in your watercolor paintings on YUPO®. You'll benefit from instruction on both objective and abstract painting in this video series. Mark's book, Creative Workshop: Watercolor and Acrylic, is also included to make sure you have no short supply of techniques and creative painting exercises to try on your new watercolor paper.
I am inspired by the concept of the postcard paintings. It is wonderful and a time redeeming art. Enjoy!
Ohh, I have some new ideas now... great post, Thanks.
Small postcard size paintings are great. I've been trying to do more lately, less time needed, not nearly as intimidating to try new subjects and methods, and local galleries will consider taking them on because of the smaller prices and smaller wall space required to display them. - Great article.
I paint some of my wee postcard paintings on location. Some when back home from vacation. Some I dont get around to for years. Since i'm not mailing my 'postcards' to anyone....what's the rush?

Located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, the Hôtel de Ville is a monument that already attracts a large number of tourists. And from May 30 until July 6, 2013, travelers will have yet another reason to visit the popular site. This is because the Hôtel de Ville is organizing a free exhibition dedicated to Nelson Mandela. Entitled 'Nelson Mandela: from Prisoner to President,' the exhibition enables visitors to discover Mandela's extraordinary life through photographs, drawings, sculptures, films and first-hand accounts.
The exhibit has been organized as part of the South Africa Season in France. Having debuted in 2012, the second edition of France's South Africa Season includes various cultural and artistic events revolving around the country of South Africa. 'Nelson Mandela: from Prisoner to President' is one of these events, and it explores how the first black president of South Africa became such a historical symbol in the fight for racial equality and human rights.
Following its 2008 debut at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, this exhibit has traveled to many countries around the globe, such as Sweden and Argentina. After its run in France, it will be shown in Peru and Ecuador later this year. In a constant state of evolution, the exhibit has benefited from occasional updates as well as being slightly adapted to each host country in which it is displayed.
Guests staying at the Hôtel de la Tour Maubourg should make sure to stop by this exhibit, which retraces the complex journey of Mandela by revealing the political, public and private facets of his life. In this way, they can also learn about the history of South Africa and its reinvention as a new country led by Mandela.

Kaymer let his game own the moment
His putter dropped milliseconds before the ball and he leaned forward a bit, appearing a little overwhelmed. Normal reaction from a guy who doesn't show too much emotion. There didn't need to be.
When Martin Kaymer made his 14-foot putt on the 72nd green of the U.S. Open, there was no drama, no "if I don't make this I lose." The win was long ago assured. There was no need on the final day to be risky, hit a bunch of fantastic shots. He just had to keep playing like he did every other day.
And he did, earning his second career major championship in the process, following up from the 2010 PGA Championship. He's not a one-hit wonder anymore, and with that he's quite pleased.
"You want to win majors in your career, but if you can win one more, it means so much more," he said. "Some people called me the one-hit wonder and those things. So it's quite nice proof, even though I don't feel like I need to prove a lot to people, but somehow it's quite satisfying to have two under your belt. And I'm only 29 years old, so I hope I have another few years ahead of me.
Kaymer didn't just win the U.S. Open, he dominated it. Apart from his eight-stroke victory, he led the field in birdies (16) and was third in putts (110, 27.5 per round), solo seventh in driving average (305.5 yards per drive) and tied for ninth in fairways hit (43, 10.8 per round).
He credited his iron play as the best part of his game this week.
"I didn't hit many bad iron shots," he said. "Of course, you hit a couple off line here and there, but I didn't make many mistakes with the irons."
But more importantly than just hitting the ball well, he managed to keep his emotions in check and have the right attitude throughout. Even on the last day, when the pressure could have gotten to him, could have thrown him off his game. Not this week.
Even his reaction to winning, his approach to handling the media. It was all a different story than back in 2010. He was relaxed, engaging, even funny at times in his post-round press conference Sunday night. Three examples, all that elicited laughter in the interview room.
On the U.S. soccer team, who will face his native Germany in the group stage of the World Cup: "You have two Germans on your team, you have a German coach (Jurgen Klinnsman), and he has been very successful with our team in 2006. So I think you are a little bit the underdog, you're not as bad as people make you."
On practicing Sunday beside LPGA players, who will play their U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 starting Thursday: "I did like it. Some of them are very pretty. I'm sure a lot of guys out here enjoyed the view as much as we did."
On being more honest and open in press conferences: "I want to explain (so) that you understand. Otherwise people write something which is not true. And I'd rather take a minute longer to explain it properly what I mean than if you make something up. I want to be in control here."
It was quite a change from the way he handled all the attention he received after winning the PGA in 2010.
"Four years ago, I didn't know what's happening," he said. "I was not expecting myself to win a major at 25. It was too much. It was very difficult to handle everything and to play good golf."
But now, he spoke about being relaxed when talking with reporters, not having to say something "special" or "interesting," but just having a normal conversation. Just being a normal guy who just happens to win major championships, this one in spectacular fashion.
On Sunday before his round, he had a conversation with his brother and his manager in the players lounge at Pinehurst about playing defensive or just playing like he'd been playing, continuing to press forward, dealing with the pressure.
"It's very easy," his brother said to him. "I don't need to tell you anything more, you know it all. You just have to let it happen."
It happened, and Martin Kaymer is the 2014 U.S. Open champion.

Naturally Gorgeous Model Julia is a pixie of a woman, with a sparkle in her eye and ready smile. She exudes such a warmth and caring that you just know you could sit down and pour your heart out to her like a trusted maternal figure, but her twinkle clues you in that your comforting session might just end with her sharing a wickedly funny joke. But it is Julia's thoughtfulness and caring that led her to develop The Girl Effect, whose videos we highly recommend you take the time to view.
AP: What do you do for a living?
JP: I run a social innovation consultancy.
AP: How did you decide this was what you wanted to do?
JP: My first project in social innovation was at the Nike Foundation, developing the Girl Effect. I've been hooked ever since.
AP: Do you have kids or pets?
JP: A son (age 5) and a daughter (age 2). We want to get a pet. Any suggestions?
AP: (We would have to suggest a dog, of course!)
AP: What do you do for fun?
JP: This summer--stand up paddle boarding, playing in a kickball league, hosting pirate dinners and rocking out at family discos.
AP: Anything you really want to tell people about yourself?
JP: I'm pioneering.
AP: Anything you want to mention that you really care about?
JP: I believe people make the world go around.
AP: How do you define beauty?
JP: Natural.
AP: What makes you feel beautiful?
JP: Smiling.
AP: What inspires you?
JP: A starry night. The human spirit. Creativity.
AP: What scares you?
JP: The absence of love and compassion.
AP: What's always in your handbag?
JP: I prefer not to carry a handbag.
AP: What surprises people about you?
JP: I grew up in Arkansas. Go Hogs!
AP: Who would you invite to your fantasy dinner party?
JP: Amelia Earhart, Fred Astaire and James Bond.
AP: If you won an all expense-paid vacation, where in the world would you go, and why?
JP: Machu Pichu with my dad. It looks magical!
We started with Julia's perfect match in Satin Matte Foundation, Warm 3, applied with our #25 Foundation Brush and concealed around her eyes with her foundation using the #3 Concealer Brush. Then we added Satin Matte Blush in Pink to her cheeks with the #17 Blush Brush. To bring out the green in Julia's eyes, we applied Nymph Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow from lashes to brow, and Black Orchid Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow to her lids. We lined with Paparazzi Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner on a damp #31 Brush. To finish the look, we dusted with Hanae Satin Finishing Powder and slicked on Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Sweet Pea. As always, Julia's photos are unretouched and Naturally Gorgeous!
'The beautiful empowering women like yourself are the one's who inspire others to just go for it and live big.
If you want a pet….please adopt an older dog. A puppy is a lot of work with kids so young and their are hundreds of great dogs who would love a forever home. You also have Beautiful natural look.
Adopting and training a puppy or dog from a rescue organization would be wonderful. These dogs are just waiting for a wonderful permanent home.
Young and adult dogs are also good to consider as many of them will not require as much effort in toilet training and are potentially calmer around young children.
It is still important to investigate dog breeds appropriate to your household, activity level, and preferences, but there is an abundance of dogs available from shelters to match your parameters. Many rescue staff will make excellent recommendations as they are also invested in having a successful adoption placement.
I am a graphic designer at the World Bank and absolutely love and admire The Girl Effect. I hope to have the opportunity to do something like that one day.
WOW! The Girl Effect video is incredibly powerful. What talent and vision to create this. I am inspired and plan to – at the very least – donate to this worthy cause. Thank you Alima for featuring Julia (she is beautiful!) and The Girl Effect. Love it!
For heaven's sake, not a puppy — please.
The children are much too young.
If you really want a dog, consider an older dog (and one who is large enough to survive with two very small children).

As someone who has spent a significant amount of my career in the tech industry, I cannot tell you how optimistic I am about the future of civic engagement. This optimism was made even greater by my visit to MIT yesterday. While there, I had the opportunity to tour their Media Lab and see first hand some of the forward leaning, innovative uses of broadband that will help to transform how citizens engage. The Media Lab is working on important issues, especially when it comes to thinking about technology and its future impact on society. That is why I'm particularly grateful to have been invited by MIT's Center for Civic Media to participate in today's symposium entitled "The Future of Civic Engagement in a Broadband-Enabled World."
The implications for civic participation as broadband becomes ubiquitous are enormous. Here at the FCC, we've spent the last few months poring over the extensive record on the issue. The working recommendations that we have developed for the National Broadband Plan will harness this potential and move the nation towards governance that is more open, accountable and participatory. These recommendations aim to increase the public's access to both mediated and unmediated information, and to make greater use of broadband-enabled technologies and tools to provide greater and higher quality ways for citizens to engage their government and each other.
We've organized our work into five areas:
- Creating an open and transparent government.
- Developing a robust digital public media ecosystem.
- Expanding civic engagement through social media.
- Bringing innovation to government.
- Modernizing democratic processes.
I hope that you will share your feedback on the speech that I will be giving at the symposium (see remarks below), and offer a few ideas of your own

This is Great when your on the go and hungry for a Delicious Roasted Marshmallow.
So let's get Started!
WARNING !! - This instructable uses high heat and open flames. Be Careful.
Use all necessary Precautions.
I am not responsible for your actions!
Step 1: You Will Need....
1. Altoids Tin
2. Scissors
3. Skewer or Toothpick
4. One Charcoal Briquette (Charcoal Can Be Substituted by a T-Light Candle to roast the Marshmallow)
5. One T - Light Candle Tin
6. One Small Pill Holder or Small Seal able Container ( Best with O Ring )
7. Lighter Fluid or Charcoal Starter Fluid
8. Matches or Lighter
9. Marshmallows
10. Paper and Tape ( Optional )
And of Course Some of your free time.
Step 2: Prepare Your Tin and Skewer
Then get your T - Light Candle and remove the candle from the candle tin.
IMPORTANT !!!!! - You Need to poke holes in the candle tin so the charcoal can get oxygen.
See Secondary Photo for this step.
After the Above is done place the candle tin into the Altoids tin.
Next take your Skewer and cut it to size so it fits inside the Altiod tin.
Step 3: Break Up Your Charcoal and Make a Charcoal Packet
in my Altoids tin. Well your not.
So we need to break it up into smaller, more
manageable sized prices.
This Stuff is HARD well it is what diamonds are made of.
So take what ever you can i.e Hammer and Chisel to break the charcoal up into Nickel and Penny Sized Chunks.
After that get some paper and your nickel sized chucks then put the charcoal into the paper
and make a Packet of Charcoal.
REASON: You Wrap the charcoal in a packet so it wont rattle around the tin and cover your
marshmallow and other items in Charcoal Dust. Also this provides Greater Portability.
i warn you to use a Tea-light candel as alternative to a charcoal.Tea-lights are mostly made of paraffin wax. I would not recommend to hold your marshmellow in the smoke of burning paraffine wax due to health risk.
i will warn you to use a Tea-light candel as alternative to a charcoal.Tea-lights are mostly made of paraffin wax. I would not recommend to hold your marshmellow in the smoke of burning paraffine wax due to health risk.
That is awesome!!!
Although I would suggest a water container to put out the fire! : )

Bitcoin is an online communication protocol that facilitates virtual currency including electronic payments. Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has served approximately 41.8 million transactions between 62.8 million accounts, and the total market value of all bitcoins in circulation exceeds $8 billion. This article, forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, presents the platform's design principles and properties for a non-technical audience; reviews its past, present, and future uses; and points out risks and regulatory issues as Bitcoin interacts with the conventional financial system and the real economy. Key features of Bitcoin's design are irreversible transactions, a prescribed path of money creation, and a public transaction history. Collectively, these yield a system that is understood to be more flexible, more private, and less amenable to regulatory oversight than other forms of payment--though as discussed in this paper, all these benefits face important limits. Yet the authors argue that the decentralization initially touted by Bitcoin has not fully come to fruition. Indeed there seem to be significant forces pushing towards concentration despite Bitcoin's design, calling into question the benefits that Bitcoin can offer compared to existing payment mechanisms and other stores of value.

Mechanisms of Technology Re-Emergence and Identity Change in a Mature Field: Swiss Watchmaking, 1970-2008
According to most theories of technological change, old technologies tend to disappear when newer ones arrive. As this paper argues, however, market demand for old technologies may wane only to emerge again at a later point in time, as seems to be the case for products like Swiss watches, fountain pens, streetcars, independent bookstores, and vinyl records, which have all begun to claim significant market interest again. Looking specifically at watchmaking, the author examines dynamics of technology re-emergence and the mechanisms whereby this re-emergence occurs in mature industries and fields. Swiss watchmakers had dominated their industry and the mechanical watch movement for nearly two centuries, but their reign ended abruptly in the mid-1970s at the onset of the "Quartz Revolution" (also known as the "Quartz Crisis"). By 1983, two-thirds of all watch industry jobs in Switzerland were gone. More recently, however, as the field has moved toward a focus on luxury, a "re-coupling" of product, organizational, and community identity has allowed master craftsmen to continue building their works of art. The study makes three main contributions: 1) It highlights the importance of studying technology-in-practice as a lens on viewing organizational and institutional change. 2) It extends the theorization of identity to products, organizations, and communities and embeds these within cycles of technology change. 3) It suggests the importance of understanding field-level change as tentative and time-bound: This perspective may allow deeper insights into the mechanisms that propel emergence, and even re-emergence, of seemingly "dead" technologies and industries.

Heterogeneous Technology Diffusion and Ricardian Trade Patterns
The principle of Ricardian technology differences as a source of trade is well established in the theory of international economics. This theory argues that countries can focus on producing products in which they have comparative productivity advantages; subsequent exchanges afford higher standards of living in all countries than are possible without trade. While a key theory, economists have struggled to quantify the empirical importance of comparative technology advantages and their link to trade. This is especially difficult given the high degree to which technology states of countries and industries can be correlated with other traits about countries that could also promote trade. This study contributes to scholarship on Ricardian advantages through the development of a substantially larger dataset than previously utilized and the study of changes in technology/trade over time. Even more important, the study provides a tool for isolating relative technology growth in exporting countries across industries. The foundation for this identification is the modeling of Ricardian advantages through differences across countries and their industries in terms of their access to the U.S. technology frontier. The differences arise due to historical migration patterns (e.g., Chinese migration to San Francisco versus Hispanic migration to Miami). The study analyzes how technologies flow differentially to countries and industries based upon the historical settlement patterns of migrants from countries and the spatial development of new technologies in the United States (i.e., which technologies flourished in San Francisco versus Miami). The study finds that these differential technology flows are powerful enough to influence world trade patterns, and in the process, they provide new identification to an age-old theory. Read More

From Green Users to Green Voters
Does the diffusion of technology affect voting patterns? Technology is usually not aligned with a specific ideology or political party. Indeed, to the extent that technology raises living standards, all parties tend to favor technology diffusion. However, in some cases, voters may associate a political party with a specific technology. Green parties, for example, advocate for the diffusion of green energy technologies and pursue policies that foster the diffusion of green energies. This paper finds a significant effect of photovoltaic (PV) adoption on the increase in the share of votes for Germany's Green Party. In particular, the increase in the diffusion rate of PV systems between 1998 and 2009 led to an increase in the fraction of green votes of 1 percent, which represents 25 percent of the actual increase in the voting rate experienced by the Green Party between 1998 and 2009.

If Technology Has Arrived Everywhere, Why Has Income Diverged?
To respond to the question posed in the title of their paper, the authors explore one potential driver—the dynamics of technology adoption. Using a stylized model of adoption that accounts for individual technologies, the authors identify two margins of adoption: adoption lags and penetration rates. Analyzing a panel of adoption lags and penetration rates for 25 technologies and 132 countries, they show that adoption lags have converged across countries over the last 200 years, while penetration rates have diverged. Feeding these patterns into the aggregate representation of their model economy, they next evaluate the effects of cross-country evolution of adoption patterns on the cross-country evolution of income growth. The paper's main finding is that the evolution of adoption patterns accounts for the vast majority of cross-country evolution of income growth for many country groupings. Therefore, adoption dynamics are at the core of cross-country differences in per-capita income over the last 200 years, a phenomenon known as the Great Divergence. Read More

The Spatial Diffusion of Technology
Technology disparities are critical for explaining cross-country differences in per capita income. Despite being non-rival in nature and involving no direct transport costs, technology diffuses slowly both across and within countries. Even when a technology has arrived in a country, it takes years and even decades before it has diffused to the point of having a significant impact on productivity. Why does technology diffuse slowly? How do we explain cross-country differences in its speed of diffusion? In this paper, the authors study the diffusion over time and space of 20 major technologies in 161 countries over the last 140 years. The spatial effects they identify for technologies vanish over time. For most technologies, this implies that the effect of geography is initially strong, decays over time, and eventually disappears. This is the first paper to document these patterns in adoption rates for a large number of technologies and countries. Estimates provided of structural parameters can be used to inform spatial theories of growth. Closed for comment; 0 Comments posted.

The Value of Advice: Evidence from Mobile Phone-Based Agricultural Extension
This paper evaluates a new service that provides mobile-phone based agricultural consulting to poor farmers in India. For decades, the Government of India, like most governments in the developing world, has operated a system of agricultural extension, intended to spread information on new agricultural practices and technologies through a large work force of public extension agents. Evidence of the efficacy of these extension services, however, is limited. This paper describes a randomized field experiment examining the potential for an alternate route to improving agricultural management. Specifically, the authors evaluate Avaaj Otalo (AO), a mobile phone-based technology that allows farmers to call a hotline, ask questions, and receive responses from agricultural scientists and local extension workers. Findings show that AO had a range of important, positive effects on farmer behavior. This paper may be the first rigorous evaluation of mobile phone-based extension and, more generally, the first evaluation of a demand-driven extension service delivered by any means. Read More

Investment Incentives in Proprietary and Open-Source Two-Sided Platforms
While proprietary and open-source software have coexisted since the early days of the computing industry, competition between these two modes of development has intensified dramatically following the surge of the Internet in the mid-1990s. This paper provides a first step to better understand incentives to invest in proprietary and open platforms. Specifically, the authors examine a model of a proprietary and an open-source two-sided platform to study equilibrium investment in platform quality. Their analysis provides answers to three important questions: (1) How are the incentives to invest in platform quality affected by the degree of platform openness? (2) Which of these two modes of governance leads to investment closer to the social optimum? And (3), how are incentives to invest in platform quality moderated by competition between proprietary and open two-sided platforms? Comparing monopoly platforms reveals that for a given level of user and developer adoption, investment incentives are stronger in proprietary platforms. However, open platforms may receive larger investment because they may benefit from wider adoption, which raises the returns to quality investment. The authors also find that proprietary platforms may benefit from higher investment in competing open platforms when developers multi-home, a result that helps explain why a proprietary platform such as Microsoft has chosen to contribute to the development of Linux.

Platform Competition Under Partial Belief Advantage
In platform competition in a two-sided market, a platform's ability to attract consumers depends not only on the consumers' beliefs regarding its quality, but also on consumers' beliefs regarding the platform's ability to attract the other side of the market. For example, in the market for smart-phones the recent introductions of Apple's iPhone 4S with the improved operating system, and Samsung's Galaxy II with the improved Android 4, open a new round in the competition between the two platforms. The ability of each platform to attract users depends not only on its perceived quality, but also on users' beliefs regarding the number new applications developed for the platform. Likewise, the ability to attract application developers to the platform depends on their beliefs regarding the number of users that will join the platform. In a competitive market, some platforms may enjoy more favorable beliefs of the market (about their ability to attract ``the other side) than other platforms. Such a belief advantage may be source of a competitive advantage. In this paper, the authors look at how the belief advantage helps the platform to compete in the market, and also how a platform may create the belief advantage. The authors find that the degree of the platform's belief advantage affects its decision regarding its business model (whether to subsidize buyers or sellers), as well as the access fees and the size of the platform. Moreover, the paper looks into the optimal advertising strategy that leads to creating belief advantage. This paper contributes to scholarship on economics and business strategy. Read More

Historical Trajectories and Corporate Competences in Wind Energy
Analyzing developments in the wind turbine business over more than a century, Geoffrey Jones and Loubna Bouamane argue that public policy has been a key variable in the spread of wind energy since the 1980s, but that public policy was more of a problem than a facilitator in the earlier history of the industry. Geography has mattered to some extent, also: Both in the United States and Denmark, the existence of rural areas not supplied by electricity provided the initial stimulus to entrepreneurs and innovators. Building firm-level capabilities has been essential in an industry which has been both technically difficult and vulnerable to policy shifts. Read More

The Intensive Margin of Technology Adoption
To anyone who observes the world, it's pretty clear that a country's poverty level is at least somewhat related to its adoption of new technologies. Historically, though, this fact has been difficult to quantify. Harvard Business School professor Diego Comin and MIT researcher Mart� Mestieri are developing a model to analyze the relationship between economic growth and technology adoption. In their paper, they discuss both "extensive" margins (the length of time it takes a country to adopt any given new technology) and "intensive" margins (the number of technology units--smartphones, PCs, etc.--that the country adopts).

The Influence of Prior Industry Affiliation on Framing in Nascent Industries: The Evolution of Digital Cameras
Firms entering a new product market face tremendous ambiguity and competitive uncertainty, particularly when the new market is sparked by radical technological change. Potential customers have little or no experience with products, and during this period of turbulence, firms experiment with alternative product configurations, functions, and technologies. By studying the emergence of the consumer mass market for digital cameras, Carlson School of Management professor Mary J. Benner and HBS professor Mary Tripsas explore what factors influence a firm's initial introduction of product features during the nascent stage of a product market, and how the process of convergence on a standard set of features unfolds. In particular, they assess how a firm's prior industry affiliation influences its conceptualization of the product. Read More

Mixed Source
As most managers know, commercial firms may benefit from participating in open source software development by selling complementary goods or services. Open source has the potential to improve value creation because it benefits from the efforts of a large community of developers. Proprietary software, on the other hand, results in superior value capture because the intellectual property remains under the control of the original developer. While the straightforward rationale for "mixed source" (a combination of the two) is appealing, what does it mean for a business model? Under what circumstances should a profit-maximizing firm adopt a mixed source business model? How should firms respond to competitors' adoption of mixed source business models? And what are the right pricing structures under mixed source compared with the proprietary business model? In this paper the researchers analyze a model where firms with modular software must decide which modules to open and which to keep proprietary. Findings can be directly applied to the design of optimal business strategies. Read More

File-Sharing and Copyright
The researchers argue that file-sharing technology has not undermined the incentives of artists and entertainment companies to create, market, and distribute new works. The advent of new technology has allowed consumers to copy music, books, video games, and other protected works on an unprecedented scale at minimal cost. Such technology has considerably weakened copyright protection, first of music and software and increasingly of movies, video games, and books. While policy discussion surrounding file-sharing has largely focused on the legality of the new technology and the question of whether declining sales in music are due to file-sharing, the debate has been overly narrow. Copyright protection exists to encourage innovation and the creation of new works—in other words, to promote social welfare. This essay analyzes the landscape and identifies areas for more research.

Testing a Purportedly More Learnable Auction Mechanism
Each year, auctions are used to determine how billions of dollars of goods and services will be allocated across the globe. On eBay alone, $52.5 billion in merchandise was exchanged in 2.4 billion auctions conducted during fiscal year 2006. Considerable attention has been paid in the academic literature to the question of how to design auctions with efficient allocation and revenue-maximizing properties. However, in part because auction rules are typically published and standard theory assumes economic agents are capable of computing optimal strategies from published rules, little attention has been paid to the question of how to design auctions whose optimal strategies are easy to learn. Evidence suggests that even when auction rules are published and dominant strategies exist, people nonetheless struggle and sometimes fail to learn to play their optimal strategy. As a result, the authors argue that the question of how to design a learnable, strategy-proof auction mechanism is an important one. Read More

Marketing has struggled to find its place on these new communication pathways. Old paradigms have been slow to die. This paper reviews early beliefs about interactive marketing, then identifies 5 discrete roles for interactive technology in contemporary life and 5 ways that firms respond. It concludes that the new media are rewarding more participatory, more sincere, and less directive marketing styles than the old broadcast media rewarded. Read More

The main aim of this book is to introduce the idea that ethics are an intrinsic component of any water policy, program, or practice, and that understanding what ethics are being acted out in water policies is very relevant to all aspects of water resource management. Thus in controversies or conflicts over water resource allocation and use, an examination of ethics can help by clarifying the positions of conflicting parties as preparation for constructive negotiations. The author shows the benefits of exposing tacit values and motivations and subjecting these to explicit and perhaps public scrutiny where the values themselves can be debated and adjusted. The aim of such a process is to create the proverbial 'level playing field', where values favouring environmental sustainability are considered in relation to values favouring short-term exploitation for quick economic stimulus (the current problem) or quick protection from water disasters (through infrastructure which science suggests is not sustainable). The book shows how the underlying purpose of new technologies, such as drip irrigation, or governance structures, such as river basin organizations, becomes seen as a way of supporting a new ethic of coexistence and synergies with nature. It includes a wide range of case studies from countries including Australia, India, Philippines, South Africa and USA. These cover various contexts including water for agriculture, urban, domestic and industrial use, the rights of indigenous people and river, watershed and ecosystem management.

Two monitor wide display confuses some applications
My System:-
RedHat 9.0
Compaq Evo W4000
P4 2.0Ghz
Two Samsung SyncMaster 191T monitors on
a Quadro4 900 XGL AGP card.
Model: Quadro4 900 XGL
Video BIOS: 04.25.00.29.06
Card Type: AGP
NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module 1.0-4363 Sat Apr 19 17:46:46 PDT 2003
GCC version: gcc version 3.2
Attachments: XF86Config and XFree86.0.log (verbose)
The Problem:-
If I configure my two monitors as one wide display, (DISPLAY 0.0), some applications are confused about the display geometry. For example, Open Office thinks that A4 pages are really wide, and fonts are confused, they look to be double spaced and are really ugly.
I can configure two displays (one on each monitor i.e 0.0 and 0.1), the geometry looks reasonable, but if I am not mistaken, I can only have hardware acceleration on the first display - is this right?
Ideally, I would like one display (0.0) with hardware acceleration and snae geometry, however, hardware acceleration on both heads, and two sane (geometry wise) displays would be an acceptable (but not ideal) alternative.
TIA Andy
Graeme Howlett.

So at long last, I tried Ippudo and honestly, I don't really see what all the fuss is about. The pork buns were, eh, ok. The bun part was tasty and the pork just tasted like barbecue with half of it being pure fat. Perhaps this is why people say that it melts in your mouth. Lard will do that. Everyone in my party had the one-year anniversary special ramen and while the broth was tasty, it was also extremely salty. If you do go, be sure to be seated somewhere in the middle of the restaurant. if you're seated in the back, as we were, you will have the constant rumble of subway trains underneath your seat as an added dining companion.
Posted by mushitushi on 04/13/2009
the Ramen is excellent, many different kinds to choose from. The pork belly is also excellent. Dont forget to try the tofu dessert. Be prepared to wait a half hour
Posted by Anonymous on 04/04/2009
So we had a party of four on a Friday night and were told the wait would be 2 hours... turned out to be more like 30 minutes. Had the pork buns, which even though I didn't think you got a lot of food for your money, what you got was out of this world. Seriously. Also had the spicy ramen noodles with the belly pork. Got the soup extra spicy, which to me was just spicy, but was good. The pork belly (all 2 tiny pieces of it) was amazing. The meat was so tender and flavorful and just melted in your mouth. Tried my friends miso soup as well... by far, the most richly flavored miso broth I have ever tried. Service is subpar... they rush your order, and it took us at least 3 tries to get the bill (which might explain why they have 2 hour waits). Overall, this place is a cheap meal ($140 for 4 people, 3 apps, 4 soups, and 4 drinks, with tax and tip), that you will enjoy, and in my opinion, is far superior in price and quality to Momofuku.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/23/2009
Don't ever go here unless you want to wait FOREVER for over priced noodles. I came here HOPING to eat the ramen with my mom and aunt and ended up waiting OVER an hour. We still were not seated after an hour and twenty minutes, so I spoke to the manager and they tried to make us wait even longer. We ended up leaving. I've been a patron of Ippudo since they've opened and this is the first time I've EVER experienced something like this!
Posted by toner on 02/05/2009
Ippudo has some of the best ramen in Japan. I used to eat at the Ippudo across the street from my university in Tokyo on a weekly basis. It was a little more expensive than the hole-in-the-wall joints but worth splurging for. They've brought the same dedication to quality to their Manhattan location. If I look down at the bowl while sitting at the counter I could swear I was in Tokyo. The gyoza is fantastic, the broth is rich, the noodles are thin and al dente, and it tastes exactly the way Hakata ramen should. The only catch is the Manhattan price tag for working class food that comes from the harbor in Fukuoka (Hakata). How would you feel paying $20 for a burrito or a hoagie? That's how I feel when I go here. Sometimes you have to pay extra to get the authenticity of a favorite food from around the globe. I love the food, but it always feels weird when I get the check. I wish they had remembered to do what they do best which is make ramen. Keep the deliciousness, lose the chic!
Posted by Nick on 02/04/2009
The Akamaru Modern at Ippudo is simply the best ramen dish I've had in New York. The other ramen offings at Ippudo are also better than any I've tasted around town. In fact, having recently visited Tokyo I'm convinced that Ippudo dishes can stand up to any in Japan itself. The appetizers and side dishes are also great, and the atmosphere in Ippudo is exciting and bustling. Just don't try to go at peak hours or weekends if you're not prepared for a long wait.
Posted by digger on 01/18/2009
I habve been hearing a lot of hype about ippudo and finally decided to try it. In a nutshell the staff is nice and friendly. Put simply I was disappointed with the amount of Pork that came with my Ramen. At other places you get a nice amount. Here I got on paper thin slice. I also didnt like the fact that you cant take leftovers home. I was there at 5pm. The time the bar opens, already had my name on the list and still had to wait 10 minutes. It was ok but not great. Wouldnt rush back here and definitely not worth the hype.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York's Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo are on track to pass the earliest state budget in decades.
The Legislature is to publicly present counterproposals to Cuomo on Monday or Tuesday, although closed-door negotiations have been going on for weeks.
Cuomo's $143 billion budget proposal would increase state spending about 2 percent. It includes no new taxes, although he would extend some business taxes that were due to expire.
The independent Citizens Budget Commission says Cuomo's budget proposal is reasonable.
The Legislature traditionally adds less than 1 percent to the budget, but it is usually in the areas that hit New Yorkers most such as school aid, taxes, fees and health care.
After two decades of late budgets, this would be the third straight that was passed on time.

USDA Allows Interstate Movement of Citrus Nursery Stock from Certain
Quarantine Areas
"This rule will provide much needed economic relief for citrus-producing nursery growers in the quarantine areas," said APHIS administrator Gregory Parham. "Most of these nurseries are small businesses that have been impacted by the previous quarantine measures, which were necessary in the short term to limit the spread of these devastating citrus diseases. To allow this new movement out of the quarantine areas, the rule establishes rigorous, science-based safeguarding measures that will protect all citrus-producing states."
With the interim rule, regulated nursery stock accompanied by a certificate can move interstate from areas quarantined for citrus canker, citrus greening and/or the Asian citrus psyllid to any area within the United States. The interim rule also revises the regulations regarding the movement of regulated nursery stock under a limited permit from an area quarantined for the Asian citrus psyllid but not for citrus greening. The rule defines citrus nursery stock as all plants for planting in the family Rutaceae, which includes citrus and citrus relatives.
Certificates and limited permits will only be issued for shipments of plants originating from facilities that operate under a compliance agreement with APHIS, meet strict standards for the production of disease-free plant material and employ safeguards during packing and movement. The specific protocols for these agreements are outlined in a document that is available on APHIS' website at www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/
The movement of citrus nursery stock remains restricted in areas quarantined for sweet orange scab and citrus black spot. Nursery stock from areas quarantined for sweet orange scab may move to non-citrus producing states under certain conditions. The entire states of Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas are quarantined for sweet orange scab. The interstate movement of citrus nursery stock from areas quarantined for citrus black spot is prohibited. Portions of two Florida counties are quarantined for citrus black spot.
Citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing, is one of the most devastating diseases of citrus worldwide. While it does not pose a human health risk, it greatly reduces fruit production and will cause economic losses. Once infected, there is no known cure for a tree with citrus greening. A gnat-sized insect, the Asian citrus psyllid, spreads the bacterium that causes citrus greening as it feeds. The pest's feeding activity can also seriously damage the citrus plants directly, especially new shoots.
To learn more about APHIS' efforts to protect U.S. citrus, please visit our website at www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/
This action is published in today's April 27 Federal Register and becomes effective upon publication.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before June 27. Send a copy of your comment to Docket No. APHIS-2010-0048, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238.
