Christian retailer Hobby Lobby has won its second legal decision in a month in its ongoing battle against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) contraception mandate, which requires employers to provide their employees with health insurance that includes free contraception — including drugs that can cause abortion.
On July 19 a federal judge in Oklahoma City granted the retailer and its sister business, the Mardel Christian book chain, a preliminary injunction preventing the federal government from enforcing the mandate against the businesses. The ruling follows on the heels of a landmark decision by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled June 27 that Hobby Lobby's owners are free to follow their religious convictions under the First Amendment, and are likely to win their case against the mandate.
Hobby Lobby's owners, led by company founder and CEO David Green, filed suit to stop the mandate in September 2011, arguing that forcing them to provide their thousands of employees with contraceptives like the RU-486 "abortion pill" would cause them to violate their convictions that life begins at conception. The company faced as much as $1.3 million in fines per day for their refusal to knuckle under to the mandate.
"By being required to make a choice between sacrificing our faith or paying millions of dollars in fines, we essentially must choose which poison pill to swallow," Green said as the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing the company in the case, announced the suit last year. "We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate."

Update includes FULL PAGE POPUP ADS? No thanks. This was a useful app, and the addition of finally being able to look up individual planes should be a good one. With the addition of constant full page popup ads, though, the annoyance factor has skyrocketed, and I am uninstalling now. FIX THIS.
Fine when it works! The last time I used this it worked ok however today it is not recognising flight numbers and the one I am currently tracking has disappeared and states no results on search. Pop up adds are very annoying.
Can't find flights why upgrade Tried searching for flights but this app doesnt locate them. Used other free tracker and located them no problem at all. The free version is full of ads and very limited but as it doesn't work not worth upgrading.
No longer useful. When I first used this a couple years back it was functional for tracking a specific flight. Now it is so overrun by full screen ads and nearly unusable. I have switched to another ap that keeps me Aware of my Flight.
Adverts AND reduced functionality? Most other FREE apps are either (a) fully functional (so you can try out all features) but full of advertising, OR (b) limited in function compared to the paid version but without advertising. This one offers very little function AND torrential advertising. So one cannot test it out fully, nor can one use the basic features without interruption. Yuck.
Not good Dowloaded free version to check the performance but it misses many aircrafts.. I work at airport and compared the real time data but to my disappointment it is not reliable..uninstalling :(

Salvatore Ferragamo My Boot

Nice, but narrow. I have a narrow calf and found that these just fit. There was no getting any skinny jeans into these. Fit was TTS & width. I am petite (5'1") and found the shaft to be too long - comes over the part where you bend in the back of the leg, and the boot was scrunching up at the ankle. It gives you the curvy calf look. Too bad - if the shaft were an inch or 2 shorter I would have kept them. They are very soft and comfortable.
I'd also recommend: LK Bennett, Valentino, Stuart Weitzman

These are the worst quality boots I have ever bought. The leather scrapes off from barely touching and after 15 wears, the elastic has loosened so much that the boots literally fall down. Third pair of elastic boots like this and have never had a problem before. Will stick to Jimmy Choo and other high end marks, no more Ferragamo! So upset as I paid over $500 for these.

English prelate condemns rioting, asks for prayers
Catholic World News - August 10, 2011
England's leading Catholic prelate has condemned the violent rioting that has erupted in urban areas, and exhorted the country's people to act "with honesty, compassion, and prayer."
Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster said that looters and hooligans have shown a "callous disregard for the common good," and the riots illustrate "how easily basic principles of respect and honesty are cast aside." He asked the faithful to pray for those who have been harmed or endangered by the violence.

Information Is Power: A Look at the Latest Data and Emerging Trends in Youth Development and the Camp Industry
Information is power in the world where we live. People involved in the organized camp industry know in their hearts that camp can be good for kids and that most camps operate successfully. In today's world, however, the camp profession must be able to show and communicate information about its value and capacity to many audiences. The American Camping Association (ACA) is committed to compiling the information needed to show the efficacy of camp endeavors. Two recent studies, 2003 Camp Benchmarks and Youth Development Outcomes of the Camp Experience, provide a world of information helpful to camp staff as well as to external publics. These two studies, along with additional youth development data to be collected in 2004 by Youth Development Strategies, Inc. (YDSI), demonstrate both the efficiency and effectiveness of camp programs. Here is a preview of "the latest" information now available from ACA.
2003 Camp Benchmarks
The real value of the data contained in 2003 Camp Benchmarks is in helping individual camp directors find baseline information. Suppose you are a director for an agency resident camp in Iowa, and you want to find out what the "going rate" was in 2003 for a seasonal waterfront director. The Benchmarks Study tells you the average salary across the country in 2003 and further details the average salary at agency/government sponsored camps and the average for all resident camps in the Mid-American region. You find that the median salary increase for returning staff is 5 percent a year, and you also discover this information could be helpful in determining market rates and setting salaries for the coming year.
Now, suppose you are a resident camp director in an independent, for-profit camp in New Mexico, and you want to know what discount practices existed among camps in 2003. The Benchmarks Study reveals that 69 percent of the camps surveyed gave discounts. Interestingly, 90 percent of the independent, for-profit camps gave discounts, and 60 percent of all the camps in the Western region gave discounts. Further, you find that early registration, early payment, and sibling discounts are the most common practices. Figure 1 shows average discounts as they varied for sponsors and regions.
A Snapshot of Study Results
An additional data analysis portrays all the day and resident camp information by five regions: New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southern, Mid-America, and Western. For example, the survey asked the salary per week of seasonal camp directors. Figures 3 and Figure 4 on page 39 compare average salaries for seasonal camp directors in both day and resident camp by region.
Summarizing the data in 2003 Camp Benchmarks is a complex task because so much information exists. Figures 5 and 6 on page 39 compare day and resident camp responses on a small number of variables about directors and budget sizes.
A Study Comparison
Further data are available in the Benchmarks Study about camp budgets. This can be helpful in planning or analyzing your own budget against others like yours — whether based on region of the country, or size of budget. The following delineates a few of the significant budget-specific findings from the Benchmarks Study:
The tables in 2003 Camp Benchmarks also provide interesting comparative data. For example, independent, for-profit resident camps got 96 percent of their revenues from camper fees compared to 49 percent for independent, nonprofit camps. Some small regional differences were also evident — in New England resident camps, the percentage of salaries for year-round and part-time staff were almost the same (19 percent) while in the Southern region, almost twice as much of the budget (25 percent) was for year-round staff compared to seasonal staff (13 percent).
Youth Development Outcomes of the Camp Experience
During the summers of 2002 and 2003, ACA undertook the biggest comprehensive study of camper outcomes ever conducted in the U.S. The Youth Development Outcomes of the Camp Experience Study was funded by a major grant from the Lilly Endowment in Indianapolis, Indiana, with additional assistance from the CAMPaign '07 (ACA's current fund-raising initiative). A total of 125 ACA camps participated in pilot testing, field testing, and in the stratified sample for data collection. The goals of the research project were:
1. To measure change in a subset of important developmental constructs such as positive identity and social skills; and
Most people associated with organized camps believe that youth development is what organized camping is all about. Youth development is the process of enhancing adolescent experience and promoting the successful transition from childhood to adulthood. With this definition in mind, the ACA Research Committee, ACA staff, and external research consultants from Philiber Research Associates identified ten developmental areas or constructs that appeared from the camp and youth development literature to capture camp experiences: positive identity, adventure/exploration, making friends, peer relationships, overcoming insecurity, independence, leadership, environment, positive values, and spirituality.
Good News!
Knowing that Positive Change Occurs Is Important
To the extent that youth development can be enhanced, however, we must uncover the characteristics related to change. For instance, in early analysis we are seeing that religiously affiliated camps appear most likely of the sponsoring groups to see statistically significant positive change in their most important outcome which, in most cases, was spiritual growth. These camps have something to teach the rest of us about how to integrate our most important outcomes into everyday camp life. In other initial data analyses, it appears that camp characteristics such as session length, sponsorship, day or resident structure, staff to camper ratio, experience of the director, staff turnover, camper fees, budget size, or program structure seem not to be related to outcome changes. Change, however, did vary from camp to camp. The factors at play are still being analyzed and final results could clarify these statements.
In the coming months, this rich data set will be more closely examined to ascertain where other relationships might exist and to determine if multivariate combinations of factors contribute to camper outcomes. Additional reports will be offered in Camping Magazine, in regional and national conferences, and in other ACA communication venues.
Enhancing Supports and Opportunities for Youth
During the summer of 2003, while evaluating what program characteristics may be related to the positive changes analyzed in the Youth Development Outcomes Study, the work of Youth Development Strategies, Inc. (YDSI) was examined. Dr. Michelle Gambone and her staff at YDSI have validated a way to measure the supports and opportunities associated with attaining strong youth outcomes that predict achievement of long-term outcomes in adulthood. This is exciting and ground-breaking work! Among the supports examined in the YDSI work are supportive relationships, meaningful opportunities for involvement, challenging and engaging activities, and safety.
The YDSI survey for camps was piloted in four of the camps who participated in the 2002-2003 ACA Outcomes Project. The results were enlightening! Young people in the camps (N=582) showed markedly stronger performance than young people in other youth development programs and middle or high schools, particularly in the dimension of "supportive relationships." Campers in the four camps reported that supportive relationships, which included aspects of guidance, emotional support, practical support, adults' knowledge of youth, and peers' knowledge of youth were rated as optimal by almost 70 percent of the respondents. A sense of physical safety was rated as optimal by 55 percent of the campers and emotional safety was optimal for 69 percent. Scores related to youth participation were lower with only 13 percent reporting that input and decision making were optimal and only 2 percent reporting optimal opportunities for leadership at camp. Almost 50 percent of the campers reported opportunities for skill building (e.g., growth and progress, challenging, and interesting) were optimal.
When the data from the four ACA camps were compared to other baseline data that YDSI collected from youth development organizations, middle schools, and high schools, a significantly higher percentage of campers reported optimal levels of these dimensions. However, it must be remembered that these campers came from just four camp programs. Much more study is needed.
Therefore, in the summer of 2004, ACA administered the YDSI survey in approximately eighty camps. This information will assist in establishing a standardized youth development evaluation system for camps and will contribute to our understanding the relationship between supports and opportunities for youth and camper outcomes. This information will make a major contribution to youth development understanding in our society.
After the data from the YDSI survey are analyzed, the plan is for a sample of camps to come together to develop and then implement improvement strategies. During the summer of 2005, this sample will be resurveyed to ascertain if the improvement strategies have contributed to an increased number of campers reporting optimal experiences. ACA and YDSI will collect information on the strategies to evaluate their effectiveness in improving practices. This foundation will ultimately result in the establishment of "best practices" for youth development in camps and other youth programs.

Darcy at 200: the critic John Carey has mixed feelings about the hero of "Pride and Prejudice"...
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, January/February 2013
I have never met a man who likes Darcy, though most women seem to. Perhaps men are jealous of his possessions and his success in wooing Elizabeth. My own feelings are mixed. Sometimes I think of him as a monster, sometimes as noble, and I'm not sure I believe in either.
The monster is what you see in the first half of "Pride and Prejudice". It's not so much his behaviour at the assembly-room ball that seems unforgivable. To say, "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me," and to say it so that Elizabeth can hear, is, admittedly, gross. But you might excuse it as the awkwardness of a conceited, shy young man. Much more damning is his first proposal, where he starts by telling Elizabeth how unwilling he is to be linked to her ("In vain have I struggled"), and proceeds to dwell on his sense of her "inferiority" and on its being "a degradation" to marry her.
It's the stupidity rather than the discourtesy that disconcerts. We are told that Darcy is intelligent—more so than Bingley. How could an intelligent young man address the woman he loves in this way? How he could imagine it would win her heart? When Elizabeth rejects him he is furious and amazed, and asks, "Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections?" When she accuses him of deliberately putting a stop to the romance between Bingley and Jane, he admits it unashamedly, "I rejoice in my success." The letter he gives Elizabeth the next day is couched in the same insulting, arrogant terms.
But that is the last we hear of the monster. The next time we see Darcy is when Elizabeth and the Gardiners come upon him unexpectedly while walking round the grounds at Pemberley, and this is a quite new character, a polite, affable young man who enters into a friendly discussion of fishing with Mr Gardiner, without the least indication that he is addressing a tradesman. This new, astonishingly improved Darcy is the one we see for the rest of the novel, tracking down Wickham and Lydia, paying out thousands of pounds to persuade Wickham to marry her, and insisting that the Gardiners keep his generosity secret.
How do we account for the change from monster to paragon? Do we say it is a flaw in an otherwise flawless novel? Or do we take it as evidence of the transforming power of love? Sometimes I think one, sometimes the other.
For other views on Mr Darcy, read Allison Pearson on The immovable Mr Darcy, Adam Foulds on Jane Austen's alpha male, Helen Simpson's Not a bad boy, P.D. James on The master of Pemberley and Ali Smith on The gift of astringency.
John Carey is a literary critic and emeritus professor of English at Oxford. His books include "William Golding"

Need for Speed Carbon Demo
editor's review
5 comments
EA's Need for Speed franchise has made quite a name for itself thanks to the constant improvements brought with each installment that revolutionized the racing genre. With Carbon, EA continues the story from NFS Most Wanted, with less emphasis on police chases and more on team play through the introduction of crews.
You can't escape your past life
After escaping from the police in Rockport (the main location in NFS Most Wanted), you make your way to Palmont City only to discover that former police sergeant Cross is now a bounty hunter and still on your tail.
Upon losing the race against Cross, and almost get arrested, a new racer called Darius along with his crew comes and pays off Cross, insuring your safety. With your car destroyed and no reputation on the streets of Palmont, you will now have to challenge the crews that hold the districts of the city and defeat them one by one.
Prove your skills in the all new Canyon events
The new Career Mode is focused on conquering the city alongside your crew, while introducing a few new features including three unique car classes, wingmen and even an online mode.
Speaking of classes, in Carbon cars are divided into Muscles, Exotics, and Tuners, giving you a single choice when starting the game, a choice that will also affect future car unlocks.
While Most Wanted saw the removal of drift events, in Carbon you will once again feel the asphalt tremble under your wheels as you skillfully drift through various twisted circuits and canyons.
Besides that, the focus of the game is shifted towards the new canyon events that take place in two stages and are heavily inspired by the Japanese Touge races.
Police pursuits weren't left aside and although based on the same system, the arrest tactics have been revised and made less dominant in high pursuit levels.
As in previous titles, you can customize any car to your liking, but Carbon makes a step forward and introduces the Autosculpt mode which allows players to further change the look of each aftermarket car part.
A deep racing simulator with solid gameplay
Need for Speed: Carbon improves upon the features introduced with previous versions and thanks to the new customization options, game modes, and enhanced career mode, it manages to offer a solid gameplay with tons of action packed moments.

What makes one person happier than another? Happiness and emotion: Is happiness harder to study than fear, surprise, anxiety? Why or why not? Happiness is much harder to define also more difficult to elicit in the lab universality? Questions about anxiety... what makes people anxious, what are the roles of genes, of immediate environment on anxiety? Do certain things make everyone anxious? Are some people more anxious by nature? What are the physiological correlates of anxiety? Questions about happiness what makes people happy? Role of genes and upbringing on happiness? Immediate environment and happiness? Do certain things make everyone happy? Are some people happier by nature? Consequences of happiness on behavior and development? Physiological correlates for happiness? Happiness and the brain! Brain damage or trauma to the left side of the brain causes a more depressive state feelings of well-being reside within the left hemisphere, negative feelings in the right hemisphere. EEG recordings: funny movie clips, tasting sweetness, etc increase electrical activity in the left hemisphere negative emotions such as tasting sour are associated with increased activity in the right hemisphere MRI scanning: stimulating the left side of the brain causes an increase in euphoric reactions. What makes you feel happy? Happiness is pleasure and positive emotions things like close relationship, success and honesty are some things that make a happy life feeling component: What makes someone feel happy in the here and now, typically pleasure and positive emotions and more immediate causes such as coffee, warm weather, music, etc. cognitive compnent: what makes a happy life, typically things that cause meaning and satisfaction and are more abstract such as kids, being successful, love, etc. memory experience and the end rule imagine you live until you are 80, you may experience 79 years of joy and think of the last year as being miserable or experience 79 years without joy and think during the last year as life being joyful. The "experiencing self" being happy throughout life, living in the present, feeling component the "remembering self" being happy about life, keeping score and being the story teller, cognitive component we judge our past experiences based on how they were at the end hand in cold water/ cold press experiment 60 seconds of cold vs 60 seconds of cold and 30 seconds of warmth if experience mattered, the 60 seconds of cold would be more likely to repeat the 60 secodns of cold versus the 90 seconds of total cold. If endings mattered, the 90 second group would repeat the experience. 30 second ending was more pleasurable overall loud and unpleasent noises followed by a more pleasant noise found to be more pleasurable overall. Kohnmen: the remembered self makes all of the decisions, weather going from bad to good is more likely to cause higher mood than stably good weather. Biological basis for happiness genes are not life circumstances 50% of happiness is contributed to genes twins who share all genes, more happiness repeats than those who share half of their genes happiness has set-points, attractor state, always either a little happy or unhappy overall. Life circumstances have a 10% impact on happiness, lottery winners have reported being aboutas happy as everyone else, less pleasure out of every-day activities. Initially very happy until happiness reverts back to set point. Accident Victims: accident among the worst things to happen to them, same as everyone else in terms of happiness. They are slightly less happy than control group but take more pleasure than lottery winners in performing daily activities. The everyday life experiences make up for about 40% of our happiness. These are aspects that are completely within our control. Money most people think that money doesn't buy happiness people ranked money next to last in sources of a satisfying life many judged to be largely irrelevant in what makes a happy life most people also feel though having a little more money would improve their quality of life what keeps us from living a good life? Not enough money what part of life is least satisfying? Amount of money we had to live on. Typically this is true Regardless of income! When asked about life right now, people say that more money would be nice, however, when looking at the big picture they say that it doesn't buy happiness Therefore, people ACT and not SAY it buys happines, however life circumstances like wealth make up for 10% of happines. How to figure it out? Brickman et all: lottery winners, pay increases lead to short term boosts in happiness but not long term. Pay decreases lead to short term negative happiness levels but not long term effects heady & wearing (1989) in changes of over 8 years, they found that pay increases and decreases cause no long term effect on happiness why doesnt it matter in the long term? Adaptation sensory stimuli decrease over time sense respond to changing stimulus than constant stimulation hedonistic adaptation. Perfect vision after near blindness: after two weeks, patient was adapted to this new experience and no longer had a happiness boost. Coolidge effect: suggested that sexual activity is higher when the animals in the farm had different partners. Hedonic treadmill we keep running after pleasures but because we adapt to them we continue running to find other ones. Simularity with exotic partners with habituation original excitedness of a country or person became habituatied over time, 7-year item Forming an ideal life: young and old what you have and what you need, having more stuff doesnt negate the fact that you want more stuff. Cell phones and introduction of a need into society: needs rise with our incomes we underestimate our capacities for adaptation how do you feel about your level of maternal comfort? House sizes have doubled in the last 50 years, from 1,000 to 2,000 sq. ft per household commuting and big houses: the trade-off isnt making you happier, hedonic pleasure versus bi house with a commute is not equal more comfortable/ safer cars; more entertainment; more luxurious vacations if we are so rich, why aren't we more happy? social comparison comparison and sensation if your earn 100,000 per year, and others made 250,00 per year, you would not be as happy as if you made 50,000 per year and others made 30,000 per year. We evaluate our own incomes to the incomes of other people Bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists because they do not compare themselves to those with a higher honor, they compare themselves to those who did not get a medal. Silver medalists are comparing themselves to the gold medalists. We don't get happier when we get richer because our point of comparison changes. We are happy with a honda until we ride a friend's BMW Upward/downward comparison: students who compare themselves upward do not feel good, those who compare themselves downward feel better. It involves everything: looks, body, potential, etc Virtual world: social networking allows for an increased means of social comparison. Things we compare like vacation is less impervious to social comparison because vacation has a different meaning to everybody. Two types of goods: positional goods: happiness depends on what others have non-positional goods: happiness is independent of what others have. Idea: memory = morestuff = more happiness happiness is what we have over what we want, unhappiness is what we want over what we have. If money can get you into the state of having being greater than wanting, than you can buy happiness if it gets you to a state where wanting is greater than having, money can buy sadness.

Luxardo Maraschino Liq.
Sku: 1877
Maraschino Luxardo is a classic. The typical straw coated bottle is by now a true icon on the mass consumption scenario. It is one of the very few liqueurs in the world produced by distillation. It is obtained from the marasca, a sour cherry variety exclusively cultivated by Luxardo. The distillate is allowed to mature for two years in Finnish ash vats (this wood does not lend its colour even after many years of maturing), and is then diluted and sugared.

Ask Ananda's Experts
Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
Is a Little Wine OK?
Ajay Diwanji
Having alcohol is bad for one's spiritual growth, but what if one has wine occasionally or maybe just to taste but doesn't get addicted. Is it still bad?
Dear Ajay,
Yogananda describes alcohol as one of the three main weapons of maya. That's a strong statement. I would't play with it, not even a little, if you are a serious devotee. Just leave the taste alone, there are many other lovely tastes around.
Swami Kriyananda was very strict concerning alcohol at Ananda. In his Guidelines for Living at Ananda he writes: "Strictly prohibited to Ananda members is the use, both on and off the property, of hallucinogenic drugs and alcoholic beverages. An exception to the proscription against alcoholic beverages may be allowed for medicinal needs."
Once a member here asked about non-alcoholic beer, called "near-beer". "Too near," was Swami's comment.
Yogananda too strictly prohibited alcohol for his disciples. Once a woman disciple thought that wine and beer are alright, and drank it to be sociable, without telling her Master. But Yogananda knew it anyway. Next time he saw her he looked at her penetratingly, saying, 'I meant all alcoholic beverages!"
He would tell you the same, I am sure.
"Saints are full of no-power".
Make it strong, Jayadev

Will Wright is Bringing 'The Sims' to TV
Will Wright, the creator of the iconic line of "Sim" games including the popular "Sims," has created a program called the "Storymaker Engine" that lets ordinary schlubs like you and me create TV shows using Sims.
Wright and company are hoping that the stories created from this engine can be turned into an entertaining half-hour to hour of television for Current TV. "Machinima" shows like 'Red vs. Blue' and the 'South Park' 'Make Love, Not Warcraft' episode have helped bring some video game driven entertainment to audiences, but would you watch an entire show that was produced on a video game?

A Valentine's date gone wrong marks the beginning of a love that will last for all time. Jena knows about vampires, particularly about the one who watches her every step, lest she somehow reveal her knowledge to the mortal world. Ian Sinclair would be her executioner should she even try to share her knowledge, but she doesn't fear him. No, Ian bothers her on an even more elemental level. He's just too sexy for his own good--and hers. Ian finds himself attracted to the all-too-mortal lady doctor, though he knows better. He's been assigned to watch her, not seduce her, but seduction seems to be all he can think of when he looks at the gorgeous woman who works entirely too hard and has such sad eyes. He feels things he hasn't felt in centuries when she's around, including an unreasonable jealousy when he follows her on a Valentine's date with one of her colleagues. After the disastrous date, will they both be able to resist temptation when Jena invites the vampire in? Warning, this title contains explicit sex and graphic language.

Utah is a land of contradictions. Early in January, Governor Gary Herbert goes to D.C. with his hat in his hand, looking for more federal "investment" in Utah. Then, earlier this week during his annual "State of the State" address, he promises he will stand up for his state's sovereignty and that he will stand up to federal overreach.
On January 14, for example, Governor Herbert made the annual pilgrimage to the White House to petition the president for more money. Herbert and several other governors spent about an hour and a half talking to the president and vice-president about "energy, transportation, public lands and health care." The state executives were trying to find "an optimal point" between state and federal power in these areas, according to comments made by Herbert to the Deseret News.
Fast forward, then, to January 29, and Herbert is standing in front of the Utah State legislature, delivering his "state of the state" address. Outside of D.C. and after having already secured his place at the trough, Herbert strikes a more defiant, independent tone. Speaking of the challenge of "asserting [Utah's] rightful role as a sovereign state," Herbert said:
James Madison, the father of our Constitution, said: "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite."
Unfortunately, our nation has strayed from what our founding fathers intended. Whether the issue is marriage, Medicaid or management of our public lands, our right to find Utah solutions to Utah issues is being hindered by federal overreach.
In Utah, we understand state sovereignty, and we will do everything in our power to represent the will of the people while respecting the democratic and judicial processes.
The change in altitude from D.C. to Salt Lake City must have affected Herbert's short-term memory. Two weeks before proclaiming his state's sovereignty and "right to find Utah solutions to Utah issues," he's standing in the Oval Office with his hat in his hand asking the feds for money.
It's not just money Governor Herbert would like to see shipped in from Washington, D.C. to Utah, however.
Last year, Herbert began lobbying the Obama administration for Utah to become one of the six drone testing sites to be established this year by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

· Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is one of the most common long-term diseases of children, but adults can have asthma, too.
· Asthma causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing at night or early in the morning.
· The strongest risk factors for developing asthma are inhaled substances and particles that may provoke allergic reactions or irritate the airways.
· Medication can control asthma. Avoiding asthma triggers can also reduce the severity of asthma.
· Appropriate management of asthma can enable people to enjoy a good quality of life.
v Symptoms of asthma:-
1. Coughing, especially at night
2. Wheezing
3. Shortness of breath
4. Chest tightness, pain, or pressure
v The Causes
The fundamental causes of asthma are not completely understood. The strongest risk factors for developing asthma are a combination of genetic predisposition with environmental exposure to inhaled substances and particles that may provoke allergic reactions or irritate the airways.
What Causes an Asthma Attack?
An asthma attack can happen when you are exposed to "asthma triggers." Your triggers can be very different from those of someone else with asthma. Know your triggers and learn how to avoid them. Some of the most common triggers are:
1- Smoking
Smoke is unhealthy for everyone, especially people with asthma. If you have asthma and you smoke, quit smoking. "Secondhand smoke" is smoke created by a smoker and breathed in by a second person. Secondhand smoke can trigger an asthma attack.
2- Dust Mites
Dust mites are tiny bugs that are in almost every home. If you have asthma, dust mites can trigger an asthma attack. To prevent attacks, use mattress covers and pillowcase covers to make a barrier between dust mites and yourself. Remove stuffed animals and clutter from your bedroom. Wash your bedding on the hottest water setting.
3- Outdoor Air Pollution
Outdoor air pollution can trigger an asthma attack. This pollution can come from factories, automobiles, and other sources. Pay attention to air quality forecasts on radio, television, and the Internet and check your newspaper to plan your activities for when air pollution and humidity levels will be low.
4- Cockroach Allergen
Cockroaches and their droppings can trigger an asthma attack. Get rid of cockroaches in your home by removing as many water sourses, food waists and crumbs as you can. Vacuum or sweep areas that might attract cockroaches at least every 2 to 3 days.
5- Pets
Pets can trigger an asthma attack by their fur droplets and bugs found on their bodies. If you think pets may be causing you attacks, you better avoid them. If you one, at least keep it out of the asthma patient bedroom. Bathe pets every week and keep them outside as much as you can. People with asthma are not allergic to their pet's fur only but also to their droplets and bugs found on their bodies , so trimming the pet's fur will not help your asthma.
6- Mold
Breathing in mold can trigger an asthma attack. Get rid of mold in your home to help control your attacks. Humidity can make mold grow. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the humidity level low.
7- Smoke From Burning Wood or Grass
Smoke from burning wood or other plants is made up of a mix of harmful gases and small particles. Breathing in too much of this smoke can cause an asthma attack. If you can, avoid burning wood in your home.
8- Other Triggers
Infections linked to influenza (flu), colds, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can trigger an asthma attack.
Sinus infections, allergies, breathing in some chemicals, and acid reflux can also trigger attacks.
Burning incense or candles, of any kind, can be a source of particulate matter, which may trigger an asthma attack in some individuals.
Physical exercise; some medicines; bad weather, such as thunderstorms or high humidity; breathing in cold, dry air; and some foods, food additives, and fragrances can also trigger an asthma attack.
v How Is Asthma prevented and Treated?
Control your asthma and avoid an attack by taking your medicine exactly as your doctor tells you and by staying away from things that can trigger an attack.
Everyone with asthma does not take the same medicine. Some medicines can be breathed in, and some can be taken as a pill. Asthma medicines come in two types : quick-relief and long-term control. Quick-relief medicines control the symptoms of an asthma attack. If you need to use your quick-relief medicines frrequently, visit your doctor to see if you need to modify your treatment. Long-term control medicines help you have fewer and milder attacks, but they don't help you while you are having an asthma attack.
Asthma medicines can have side effects, but most side effects are mild and soon go away. Ask your doctor about the side effects of your medicines.
v How to control asthma?
You can control your asthma by knowing the warning signs of an asthma attack, staying away from things that cause an attack, and following your doctor's advice.
· When you control your asthma:
1. •you won't have symptoms such as wheezing or coughing,
2. •you'll sleep better,
3. •you won't miss work or school,
4. •you can take part in all physical activities, and
5. •you won't have to go to the hospital.
Remember – you can control your asthma. With your healthcare provider's help, make your own asthma action plan. Take your long-term control medicine even when you don't have symptoms.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Saying he wanted to set the record straight, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols has accused a man never charged in the 1995 attack with providing some of the explosives.
In a letter from prison, Nichols said Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore gave the explosives to bomber Timothy McVeigh and also provided additional bomb components recently found in Nichols' former Kansas home.
Nichols wrote the letter to Kathy Sanders, who lost two grandchildren in the bombing and has been investigating it independently. A copy of the letter, first disclosed in a Los Angeles Times report, was obtained yesterday by the Associated Press from Mrs. Sanders' literary agent, Jim Baird.
Mr. Moore has denied any involvement in the bombing and testified against Nichols about a robbery of guns and other property from his home.
In the early stages of the bombing investigation, the FBI looked at Mr. Moore because of his anti-government views and close relationship with McVeigh. He was never charged.
Nichols' letter was part of recent correspondence with Mrs. Sanders. Nichols, 50, said in the letter that he wanted to speak out because he "felt the record should be set straight."
The letter was dated April 18, the day before the 10-year anniversary of the federal building bombing that killed 168 persons. McVeigh was executed in June 2001.
Nichols said in the handwritten, four-page letter that FBI tests of bomb components found about a month ago at his former home in Herington, Kan., would support his claim that they came from Mr. Moore and Mr. Moore's girlfriend, Karen Anderson.
"That case of nitromethane came directly from Roger Moore's Royal, Arkansas, home, and his prints should be found on that box and/or tubes, and Karen Anderson's prints may be there as well," Nichols wrote.
"The Fed Gov't knows of Roger Moore's corrupt activities, and they are protecting him and covering up his involvement with McVeigh at the OKC bombing!" Nichols wrote.
Miss Anderson also testified against Nichols about the robbery.
FBI agents searched the Herington home on March 31. Officials said agents found blasting caps and other explosive materials, apparently related to the 1995 attack, buried in a crawl space that hadn't been checked earlier.
An FBI spokesman in Kansas City, Mo., Jeff Lanza, said yesterday that material found at the home, which he would not identify, was being examined for fingerprints and other evidence. He said that there is no indication this material came from Mr. Moore and that Nichols' letter would not lead to a new investigation.
"We believe the information that came out of the original investigation, and we stand by the results of that investigation," Mr. Lanza said.
Nichols has been convicted twice — in federal court and in an Oklahoma state court — and is serving two life sentences without parole.

Letter of Invitation - DefinitionA letter of invitation, or invitation letter, is a key business marketing letter that is typically used to invite clients or customers to participate in special business events.Because formally written invitation letters are almost always used in business situations, as opposed to personal situations, they are generally classified as business letters.Note: Invitation letters for personal situations almost always involve one person inviting another/others to a social function. For most of these events (e.g. weddings, parties, baptisms, etc.), ready-made, pre-printed invitations can be purchased at stationery stores, eliminating the need to specifically write personal invitation letters for most of these types of personal situations.
Sample Invitation LettersThe following letter of invitation templates are real-life examples of the types of invitation letters typically written in business situations.
Invitation Letter - invite someone to speak at a conference.
Letter of Invitation - invite customers to a special event.
Real-Life Invitation Letter TemplatesThe thing that makes the above two invitation letter examples different from what you will typically find online is that they are "real-life templates". In other words, they are complete, fully-formatted letters, written by professionals for actual real-life personal situations.These are NOT your typical fill-in-the-blanks templates. They are complete letters that one can quickly learn from and adapt to fit one's own situation.When you need to write a letter of invitation, or invitation letter, it is always helpful to have some real-life samples that show you exactly how a professional writes a letter for a similar real-world situation.

Drew Brees and New Orleans Saints Reportedly Agree on Contract Extension
July 13th, 2012
The New Orleans Saints took far too long to sign Drew Brees to a contact extension, but the two sides have reportedly struck a deal.
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Brees and the Saints have agreed to a 5-year deal worth $100 million ($60 million guaranteed).
Brees is the unquestioned leader in New Orleans, but a standoff between the star quarterback and the Saints front office could ultimately be a huge problem for this team.
The Saints will play this entire season without head coach Sean Payton after he was suspended by the league for his role in the bounty scandal. Assistant coach Joe Vitt, who will act in place of Payton, is suspended for the first six games of the season.

Lack of space for paper books at home (1000+ books in a two room flat shared with another person and a couple of cats) meant I'd basically given up reading new books for several years as there was literally no space for them - and living in non-English-speaking country and reading almost exclusively in English, buying books was the only option for me to read them, i.e. no library or borrowing from friends and then returning.
So that was the main reason. Not having to wait 2-3 weeks for a bought book to get to me (and worrying whether it would make it or get lost in the mail) was a major bonus, as was the much easier reading - no having to struggle with the paperback to keep it open, no worrying about font size or unreadably narrow margins and line spacing.

After giving up 48 points in a 48-42 loss to the Kansas Koyotes the previous week, the Mid Missouri Outlaws' defense had something to prove Saturday night. And prove they did.
The Outlaws defense forced five turnovers and the offense capitalize every time in a 66-28 American Professional Football League victory over the Cheyenne Wyoming Warriors Saturday night at the Mathewson Exhibition Center.
Outlaw defensive back Jaiwan Shields from Kansas City, picked off two passes and recovered a fumble. Massive defensive lineman Jeff Clancy, a Smith-Cotton product, had three quarterback sacks to lead a hungry Outlaw defense.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Outlaws scored every time they had the ball except their second possession of the fourth quarter after the game was already decided and Outlaw head coach Ben Lyles had inserted several reserves in the game.
Former University of Missouri career punt and kickoff-return yardage leader scored five touchdowns and quarterback Kyle Middleton threw five TD passes in the rout of the Warriors.
The Outlaws improved to 3-1 on the season while the Warriors remained winless at 0-3, creating an even longer trip back home.
Unlike the previous week, the Outlaws were able to sustain scoring drives. On their first possession, the Outlaws marched 38 yards and ate up over 6"30 of the first quarter with James scoring from a yard out with 8:37 left in the first quarter. Derek Doerfier from Baker University kicked the extra point to put the Outlaws up 7-0.
The Warriors answered with a 31-yard field goal to get within 7-3.
On the Outlaws next possession, Middleton threw an interception and the Warriors capitalized with a 20-yard TD pass on the last play of the first quarter. The extra point put the Warriors up 10-7 after one period.
That's when the Outlaws kicked it into high gear. They marched 30 yards with James going the final seven for his second TD. The extra point made it 14-10 and the Outlaws never trailed again.
Shields intercepted a Warrior pass at the Warriors' 17 and five plays later,
Colton Miller scored on a one yard run with 4:24 left in the half. The PAT made it 21-10
Shields recovered a Warrior fumble at the visitor's 12-yard line and James scored three plays later from three yards out. The PAT made it 28-`10.
The Outlaws got the ball back and Middleton connected with Joshua Reid on a pass to the Warrior 10. Three plays later Middleton hit his favorite target on the night, Jacob Cahill, on a four-yard pass for a score. The PAT made it 35-10.
In the closing seconds of the half, the Outlaws pinned the Warriors deep and came up with a safety on the last play of the half when the Warrior quarterback intentionally grounded the ball in the endzone giving the Outlaws 37-10 lead at the half.
The rout continued in the second half. James scored on a one-yard run but the extra point failed as the Outlaws' lead grew to 43-10.
The Warriors got a field goal of 35 yards to make t 43-13.
Middleton hit Gary Taylor with a TD pass but the extra point was blocked and it was 43-13.
James scored again and the extra point made it 56-19 after three quarters.
From there, it was a process of running the clock for the Outlaws but they tacked on a pair of TDs and the Warriors got two more scores against the Outlaw reserves. Photos by Randy Kirby, Sedalia News Journal.

Oklahoma is embarking on a new rapid bridge-building program that is expected to dramatically reduce the amount of time that motorists are delayed.
Oklahoma launches rapid bridge-building program
Parts or all of a new bridge would be built next to or near an existing bridge, and then scooted over to be assembled, state Transportation Secretary Gary Ridley told Oklahoma Transportation Commission members Monday. The process would be used on a project-by-project basis, and would be practical only in areas where enough space is available to build the structure nearby.
"You have to be careful about locations you can do it with," Ridley told commissioners. "There's an inherent problem with trying to get it over a creek or a river."
When told that Oklahoma's first rapid bridge-building project was over a creek, Ridley said: "Shoot. Well, I don't know how that's going to work out. I can't believe we're going to try a river crossing first."
Commissioners approved a $3.8 million bid to Manhattan Road and Bridge Co. to use the accelerated bridge construction method to replace the nearly 300-foot-long State Highway 51 bridge over Cottonwood Creek in Creek County, west of Mannford.
"It will be very interesting to follow," Ridley said after the meeting.
Randle White, division engineer for the Tulsa area, said motorists under normal construction practices would be affected adversely for the entire period of the nine-month project. Motorists would either be detoured 30 miles to another route or limited to one-lane traffic over the two-lane bridge, he said. The bridge handles about 4,000 vehicles a day.
Under the rapid bridge-building program, motorists will be rerouted for only 21 days, White said.
Construction on the project should start in the next 90 days. Because of the accelerated bridge-building approach, the overall time for the project is reduced from nine to six months, he said.

It's easy for metal fab shop owners and managers to fall into the habit of complaining about the lack of skilled talent in the marketplace. Executives at of General Sheet Metal Works, South Bend, Ind., recognized that their employees had plenty of knowledge and skill.

Should you advertise your fabricating business? The answer depends on whether or not you want your business to grow.
March 14, 2014
O'Neal Steel, founded in 1921 in Birmingham, Ala., originally was a fabrication shop, and the founder later added metal distribution to the company's repertoire. Over the decades the business model changed, fabrication disappearing altogether at one point. Eventually the company resurrected its fabrication arm, but one thing has been a constant: The company's small-town, close-knit, neighborly culture.
March 14, 2014
People should spend less time pushing every student toward college and spend more time realizing what people are actually doing on a shop floor of progressive fabricating shops. They aren't "laborers," but skilled machine operators and technicians—typically without a traditional four-year degree. Any stigma that exists about today's factory worker is no longer relevant.
March 13, 2014
You might have noticed the employees of CAID Industries Inc., Tucson, Ariz., walking around FABTECH 2013 with bright yellow shirts indicating that the fabricator was hiring. The company is looking for the right talent to help turn the $40-million-a-year business into something much larger.

Perhaps all animals have a compass, that is a "sixth" sense about how to be "in tune" with the earth.
Recent studies of aerial photographs taken of animals on the earth indicate that cows, elk, deer and possibly all animals sense the earth's magnetic field, and know how to align themselves with the north/south direction. According to professor John Phillips, a sensory biologist from Virginia Tech University, in the US, this magnetic ability might be "virtually ubiquitous in the animal kingdom". That is, this ability is everywhere. He adds "We need to think about some really fundamental things that this sensory ability provides in animals." (Se below for the full BBC article.)
For us, this sixth sense is important information. Arny's most recent book, "Earth Based Psychology" centers on people's ability to associate feelings and dream experiences with directions, and use them to interpret dreams, and find their "way" through inner life and outer relationship situations. E.B.P. was derived from a combination of Richard Feynman's theories about how particles move, and Australian Aboriginal and shamanistic Native American abilities to know when and where to move, at a given moment.
In brief, dreaming means among other things, following the earth's magnetic field.

Heyman says the Mets like Ryan Theriot, Jack Wilson, and Ronny Cedeno as candidates.
My favorite is Theriot because of what I seen of him when he played in for the Cubs and some last year with the Cards.. He has fire and grit and I think if Theriot can get some AB's, the Mets will get their money's worth. He is a leader type that the Mets are lacking in their clubhouse.

"But one thing that struck me is that I just found out today that the way AdSense works is we don't actually know how much of a cut we're getting. We just take their ads and run them on our site and they send us a check at the end of the month, and we trust them to give us a fair amount of whatever they were paid, though there's no actual way to determine what a fair amount might be." – FJY
