This was first published in August 2012
Ita Buttrose is chairwoman of the Sydney-based digital publishing company, Reddo Media Services, and a regular social commentator on Channel Nine's Today Show. She is National President of Alzheimer's Australia, Vice President Emeritus of Arthritis Australia, patron of the Macular Degeneration Foundation of Australia, and a Trustee of the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust. Her 11th book, A Passionate Life - the third edition of her autobiography – has just been published by Penguin. She was named Australian of the Year for 2013.
Growing up, what kind of career did you want to pursue?
I decided when I was 11 that I wanted to be a journalist. By 16 I had got my journalism cadetship on the Women's Section of the Daily & Sunday Telegraphs in Sydney. I have never once regretted my decision. Journalism has opened an incredible array of doors for me.
... and as a little girl, what did you imagine working life to be like?
I thought I would work for a few years, marry, have children and leave the workforce to become a housewife. I married and had children but kept on working, becoming part of women's changing world, much of which was driven by the arrival of women's liberation. It has been an exciting time to be a woman!
What qualities do you most admire in a female colleague?
Honesty and unconditional support during good times – and bad times.
What is the best path to success in your field of endeavor?
Never lose your curiosity; be well informed – start the day listening, watching or reading the news; always do your research before an interview; and never accept second best from yourself.
How would you describe your ideal work day?
One that starts with a vigorous, hour long walk by the sea – then I can happily cope with whatever the day may bring as far as work is concerned.
What makes you happy?
Spending time with my four grandchildren. They are enormous fun to be with – they are all delightfully inquisitive and full of humour.
What brings you sadness?
The appalling gender inequality for women in such countries as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan...
What personal attributes have you used to overcome adversity in your life?
A belief in myself and my right to make the most of my abilities in whatever job I went for plus the knowledge that life is full of detours – some good, some not so good. I always tell myself tomorrow will be better and it usually is.
What are your career goals from here?
To continue writing books; I have a yearning to start another magazine (Yes, I admit it! I am definitely a magazine junkie), to continue my voluntary work in the health area and to be ready to accept whatever unexpected opportunities come my way.
What are your life goals from here?
To keep living life to the fullest; to work hard at maintaining my health and fitness and not to waste a moment of any day.

Detailed Description:
Exercise training is well documented as part of effective treatment for type 2-diabetes patients. Endurance training has been suggested as the most suitable form of exercise. There are reasons to believe that strength training also has a positive effect. However, comparisons of endurance training and strength training regimes are limited.
Therefore we randomized 26 men with type 2-diabetes to either an endurance training group or a strength training group. Both groups exercised three sessions per week for three months. The training was supervised.

Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapy
The University of Chicago Medicine is recognized as one of the most innovative vascular centers, offering minimally invasive and traditional surgical treatment options. As one of the top vascular surgery programs in the country, we provide state-of-the-art care for disorders of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems. Our highly trained surgeons are dedicated exclusively to the care of: the arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the brain, abdominal organs, arms, and legs; and the veins, which return the blood to the heart.
Only vascular surgeons are trained to perform both minimally invasive and traditional open procedures. Our experts will educate and guide you, helping you select the best possible treatment for your condition.
We specialize in the evaluation and medical management of:
- Peripheral arterial disease: blockages of the arteries in the legs and abdomen
- Aneurysms: expansion or bulging of the arteries
- Carotid artery disease and stroke: blockages of the arteries to the brain
- Venous disorders: bulging and painful veins
Our surgical specialties include traditional procedures and minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms: bulging of the major artery in the abdomen
- Thoracic aortic aneurysms: bulging of the major artery in the chest
- Aneurysms of the arms and legs
- Iliac aneurysms: bulging of the iliac artery in the pelvis
- Carotid artery disease: blockage of the arteries to the brain that can cause stroke
- Renal artery stenosis: blockage of the arteries to the kidneys
- Peripheral vascular disease: blockage of the arteries in the legs
- Dialysis access for kidney failure
- Varicose veins
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
Minimally Invasive Approaches
Whenever appropriate, our surgeons choose endovascular techniques instead of traditional open surgery, using catheters, intravascular balloons, stents, coils and/or medication to provide therapeutic treatment through major blood vessels. Our team offers endovascular therapy for obstructive arterial lesions, aortic aneurysms, and carotid disease.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery
- Less pain
- Less scarring
- Less injury to tissue
Leaders in Vascular Research
The University of Chicago Section of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy is nationally known for its contributions to the understanding of atherosclerosis and other conditions of the veins and arteries. Our surgeons are actively involved in the development of new minimally invasive and non-invasive surgical techniques. We also participate in several clinical trials investigating FDA approved and experimental devices.

PHOENIX — A man accused of breaking into the Scottsdale apartments of two
women and raping them in 2012 has pleaded guilty to six felony charges.
Maricopa County prosecutors said 19-year-old Danny T. Jackson entered his plea
Jackson is facing at least 18 years in prison when he's sentenced on July 15.
A judge told Jackson that the two rape charges each carried a minimum of nine
years in prison and a maximum of 12 years. For the four other charges, Jackson
will get lifetime probation.
Under his plea agreement, six other felonies were dismissed including burglary
and kidnapping.
Authorities said the rapes occurred days apart in October 2012, when Jackson was a
student at Scottsdale's Chaparral High School.

Hot Or Not? Vanessa Hudgens Channels Siouxsie Sioux For Paper Magazine
I'm kind of getting borderline obsessed with the direction Spring Breakers is taking its mostly previously squeaky clean starlets. Between Selena Gomez getting all racy with James Franco in the trailer and changing up her style from girl next door to bombshell down the block (not sure if that works but I'm pretty tired sorry) and Vanessa Hudgens showing up looking like THIS is Paper Magazine, my mind is kind of blown. Vanessa is the giving me some strong Siouxsie Sioux vibes with that super big punky mullet hair and crazy intense eyeliner, there's not a whole lot I love more than Siouxsie (except for french fries and rom coms).
What do you think of Vanessa's look? Too good or too much?

It's Christmas Cottage's 20th and last year
Bonnie Poligardo's Elkridge Christmas Cottage has been a tradition in our town for 20 years! However, all good things must come to an end, and Bonnie would like to invite all of her dedicated customers, far and near, to come, shop and celebrate 20 wonderful years. This will be the last opportunity for you to visit the Elkridge Christmas Cottage, so come out and enjoy a shopping spree.
The Elkridge Christmas Cottage will be open for business for the next two weekends, starting tomorrow. Shopping days include Nov. 24-26, and Dec. 1-3, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day. You will see her sign at 6259 Old Washington Road, close to the firehouse, in Elkridge. For additional information please call Bonnie at 410-796-7842.
Bonnie called me and explained that everything is high-quality handcrafted items, made by talented crafters from all over. Karen Cole, a local crafter, has been contributing items for the cottage for over a decade. I talked to Karen and she shared, "I will miss being a part of the best craft show in Maryland. Please come and help us celebrate 20 years -- you won't be disappointed!"
Jeannie Bertoni, who lived in Elkridge for many years, along with her sons, David, Matt and Chris, looks forward to the Elkridge Christmas Cottage each year. She always finds handcrafted treasures, but also loves the socializing part of it. Jeannie never fails to run into old friends, Jane Shilling being one of them. Sometimes, it's the only time they get to talk and catch up, and it makes shopping even more fun.
The idea of giving up this annual tradition of the Elkridge Christmas Cottage, which has lasted for 20 wonderful years, brings on a wave of emotions for Bonnie. I could hear the unhappiness and disappointment in her voice as she described how her health finalized the difficult decision to have this year the last.
Bonnie would like to express her thanks and love foremost to her incredible husband, Gene, about whom she stated, "I could not have made the Elkridge Christmas Cottage a reality all these years without him." Gene (aka Santa extraordinaire) has supported her every step of the way, along with her entire family, in all her endeavors.
She would also like to say thank you to all the devoted customers who have been coming to the Elkridge Christmas Cottage year after year -- she has made many new friends, and cherishes each one.
"I would like to convey my gratitude to our gracious neighbors who have put up with the parking and traffic issues that the Elkridge Christmas Cottage has created throughout the years," Bonnie also shared with obvious gratitude.
Many of the same friends and neighbors will be happy to find out that Nancy Grabowski will have her annual Christmas Greens and Craft Sale again this year.
Mark your calendars now for the first weekend in December. It will be held Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at her house, 5820 Augustine Ave., in Elkridge.
Nancy explained in an e-mail that she would be selling fresh wreaths, swags for doors, lampposts and mailboxes, windowsill sprays, roping, centerpieces, topiaries, miniature boxwood Christmas trees, fireside baskets of greens, bows and craft items, too.
So you can see Elkridge is full of gifts and holiday decorations galore! 'Tis the season to be shopping.
Happy Thanksgiving! It's one of my very favorite holidays, one during which you can move at a slower pace and enjoy. Everyone is willing to help out with the meal preparation and last-minute dinner details. Once the turkey is in the oven, you can sit back and relax, visit with the special people in your life and count your blessings.

A panel of Indiana University economists offered a slightly optimistic outlook for our region's economy last week during a meeting in Columbus.
The panelists said South Central Indiana should see modest economic growth next year, adding perhaps 2,000 new jobs, if global and national risks don't cause unexpected bumps in the road to those potential gains.
Ryan Brewer, assistant professor of finance at IUPUC, was cautiously optimistic when speaking to about 100 folks gathered for the program.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. When Codpiece was in high school he asked one of the most popular girls out on a date. The girl, not knowing what excuse to give him told him she couldn't go out with him because he wasn't "big enough." This surprised him. He han no idea how she could know about his lack of endowment. It turns out she did, in fact mean that he wasn't tall enough. Codpiece started becoming more sensitive to the issue of his "manhood's" small size.In college, he finds himself in another failed relationship. When confronting his "girlfriend" asking if they were breaking up, she informed him that they were never together to begin with. They had only gone on three dates. Codpiece naturally assumed she was leaving him because he was too small even though she had no way of knowing.As an adult and still insecure about his size. He continued trying to thrust himself upon women who quickly turned him away. All the while, Codpiece simply assumed it was because of his body.Codpiece goes to a plastic surgeon asking him if he can do anything about his situation. The doctor tells him that they could try implants or he could try some stretching exercises. When he suggests counseling before taking drastic measures, Codpiece thinks the doctor is making fun of him. He thinks he's insinuating that he needs to get his head "shrunk" to match the rest of his body.He tries paying for some female companionship but even that goes wrong when he fails to perform. The woman tells him not to get hung up on it as it ruins his concentration. She suggests he get something to "pad the protection." Codpiece doesn't take this well.Angered more than ever, Codpiece, built a robotic suit, complete with a transforming weapon in jutting out from his groin area. The weapon (a self-made codpiece) included several gadgets such as a spring-loaded boxing glove, an intimidating drill, giant scissors, an ultra sound emitter and a rocket firing canon.After robbing a bank and causing chaos, a transsexual superhero named Coagula comes to the rescue and destroys his groin weaponry with her special dissolving powers.

Actor Johnny Depp, who will play Tonto in the upcoming film version of The Lone Ranger, has been adopted by the Comanche Nation.
The character of Tonto, in this latest telling of the story, is said to be Comanche—a bit of information that LaDonna Harris, an esteemed Comanche who is president and founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), found very interesting. "Johnny is reprising the historic role of Tonto, and it seemed like a natural fit to officially welcome him into our Comanche family," Harris said, according to a release. "I reached out, and Johnny was very receptive to the idea. He seemed proud to receive the invitation, and we were honored that he so enthusiastically agreed."
The traditional ceremony took place on May 16 at Harris's home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Comanche Nation Chairman Johnny Wauqua was on hand, as were AIO's staff and close family members. At the end of the ceremony, in accordance with tradition, Depp gave gifts to the attendees as a sign of gratitude.
"Welcoming Johnny into the family in the traditional way was so fitting," Harris said. "He's a very thoughtful human being, and throughout his life and career, he has exhibited traits that are aligned with the values and worldview that Indigenous peoples share."
The Lone Ranger, which is currently filming, is being directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and is set for a May 31, 2013 release. The Depp-Verbinski-Bruckheimer team previously collaborated on three films in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

only 13 psi
aaaahhh. I typed out all this detailed info, and wasn't logged in so i lost it! argh.
Ok, I almost hate posting another "no power" thread, but I need a few pointers here.
2000 7.3 auto that runs 13 psi stock or with a tuner on any level.
Scantool(genisys): no dtcs besides the one the tuner sets. key on engine off the ebp and baro are both very close to 13 psi, but my map is 11.3. should I worry about this? WOT the injection pressure peaks about 2800-2900 psi. I do not have a pyrometer yet. I have one, but havn't installed it. I'm taking my boost readings from the scantool.
I have replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the 2 socks in the fuel sending unit. They weren't dirty. The turbo is not dusted and does not have excessive shaft play. I just put a new ford air filter in it. I also just replaced the ebp(KOEO it was reading 15 psi before) and cleaned that pipe out. i really though that fixed it. My truck was running MUCH better after the ebp install. I checked and still 13 psi.
My truck barely smokes any at WOT.
Before I replaced the ebp, I pulled a 28ft enclosed trailer with a car and it couldn't do it in over drive. keeping it floored it still wouldn't maintain speed. I had to turn over drive off and run 50-55. On the way to my destination it wasn't that bad, but on the way back is when it felt like I was pulling another truck the with brakes applied. I got out and felt my trailer brakes. cool to the touch.
I have read that stock boost should be around 17 psi and with a tuner I might expect 25 or less. is this correct?
Let me know if any more info is needed.
Thanks in advance!
I need to add that the truck is completly stock minus the tuner. I had already ordered my exhaust, but I wish I wouldn't have. I'd rather have spent that money fixing the problem.
I put the scantool on a co-worker's 2003 7.3 to check his map sensor reading and it was right around 13 at KOEO like it should be. I took it out and put it in my truck and it read 11.3 in my truck. aarggghhh!! He has a superchips tuner and put it on the economy tune for a test drive. his truck peaked at 17-18 psi. I looked at mine again and it's only 12-13 psi.
I put my truck back to stock for the first time after replacing/cleaning the EBP. For the first time, it doesn't make a louder diesel cackle at WOT. Someone told me that was normally fuel starvation. Any time in the past with or without the tuner, it would do that at WOT. It was just much worse with the tuner in the highest setting. It got better after replacing the EBP, but not gone. I'm going to try a different tuner today. Bullydog said I should expect 16-20 psi on the different settings with my truck.
I would guess boost leak, but here is my experience:
DIY Intake w/ Stock Exhaust: 10-16PSI at WOT.
DIY Intake w/ Stock Exhaust AND PHP Tunes: 18-26PSI at WOT.
So I would expect higher w/ a chip/programmer...but I don't know.
I'm getting a 4" MBRP exhaust installed today... but my chip is in GA right now, lol!
Anyway, heres a
yeah, definately sounds like a boost leak, fun part is determining if its on the exhaust side or the intake side.
Check all of your intercooler boots, check both plenium boots. When mine leaked it was at the pleniums, but mines an e99 so its an issue. If they are greasy and all I'd go ahead and take em all off and wash them, do the ccv mod, then re-install them. A little hairspray can help them seat better during reinstallation (which is a pita at some points). This is how you'd check the intake side.
For the exhaust side, get a small angular mirror (like they use at the dentist office) to check for soot on your uppipes. If there is soot on your firewall you can almost garuntee its an exhaust side leak. Unfortunately if its leaking here its more of a pita all together, because you need to do uppipe gaskets, or switch to international bellowed uppipes. the bellowed uppipes solve the problem permanently (barring catastrophic failure) but are expensive, the gaskets are cheaper but have to be done ever so often.
BUT before doing both of these, how are you reading your boost? Is it thru a seperate gauge or is it electronically through the map sensor? If its thru a seperate gauge, I'd say for sure a boost leak. If its electronically thru the map sensor, I'd say it could be bad/blocked.
I have been using a genysis scantool reading the manifold gauge pressure which is supposed to be boost. It subtracts the baro sensor reading from the map sensor reading. For some reason my map reads 11.3 (I can't remember the unit of measure here) and it's supposed to match the baro and EBP sensors readings with the key on and the engine off. They both read right at 13. Since the reading is key on engine off, that takes a blockage out of the picture for this reading.
I hooked the scantool up to a 2003 7.3 and his map was reading right at 13. So I put his map in my truck and it was still reading 11.3. I'm wondering if because of how it calculates boost, I need to add 2 psi to that to get my actuall. When the ecu does the math, if my map is reading a little low, it will throw the final number off.
Anyway. I put my truck to stock last night and just put the scantool on it to read boost and it hit 15 psi. It has never done that in the past. Maybe my tuner is the problem here, or it's for a 94-97 7.3. I'm assuming they run less boost since they don't have an intercooler. I'll be trying a superchips tuner here in a few.
On the boost leak issue. I removed both IC pipes looking for large holes/splits in the couplers. found nothing. I'm not saying there isn't tiny boost leaks here or there, but nothing that's going to cause what's going on here. I also checked for exhaust leaks before the turbo. The pass side has an up-pipe leak, but it's super small. And the drivers side manifold has a small leak to. but again, not enough to cause problems. It's such a tiny amount of black soot. You can't hear either one of them.
I need to read what the ccv mod is.
On another note, my 4 in exhaust will be here today! yay!
cliffnotes: truck runs more boost without the tuner. haha
with the superchips tuner installed on the highest mode, my truck peaked around 22 psi. Which that reading may be 2 psi lower than actual. I don't know. And lots of black smoke. yyaaaaayyy!!!!
So there's nothing wrong with my truck!! It's the tuner! either the tuner is somehow faulty, or this tuner is for the pre-intercooled 7.3. I'm just assuming they run less boost.
a tuner for an obs stroke shouldnt even have worked on your truck. thats why it wasnt working right....
I left a message with bully dog to explore my options.
I'm about to go install my exhaust.

Heisman Watch: Jameis Winston at Head of the Class
Wow, what an opening weekend of college football.
From the myriad of upsets that took place, to Johnny Manziel sitting on the sidelines for the 1st half of A&M's opener versus Rice, to Alabama once again dominating the opposition, there were no shortage of interesting headlines.
And while there is still plenty of football to be played, it is never too early to talk about college football's most prestigious award, the Heisman Trophy.
While most of the preseason Heisman talk has centered on three individuals -- Jadeveon Clowney, Teddy Bridgewater, and Braxton Miller, at this point there might not be a clear favorite.
Or is there?
Without further ado, here are the top candidates for Heisman after Week 1 of college football, complete with their previous perfomance, their next opponent, and outlook going forward:
1. Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State: The redshirt freshman from Hueystown, Alabama dubbed 'Fam(e)ous Jameis' made waves on Monday night after helping the Seminoles throttle the Panthers 41-13. Winston put on a clinic against what was supposed to be a very competent Pitt pass defense, completing 25 of 27 passes for 356 yards and 4 TDs, with no interceptions.
The skinny: As many have declared, it was only one game, and Winston's first at that. Regardless, two things were clear: 1) this kid is cool under pressure and 2) he has a cannon for an arm. There is no doubt he will be in the Heisman discussion for weeks to come.
Up Next: Nevada
2. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville: 'Touchdown Teddy' Bridgewater lived up to the name in the season opener vs. Ohio, lighting up the Bobcats for 5 passing TDs and 355 yards. The only knock against Bridgewater could be that Winston set what might be an unrealistic bar for passing efficiency.
The skinny: With what many have called the easiest of schedules among the Heisman contenders, there are better than average odds that Bridgewater duplicates Sunday's perfomance in the near future. He may have to, as the rise in dual-threat quarterbacks have redefined the position as of late.
Up Next: Eastern Kentucky
3. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson: Air Boyd was in full effect on Saturday night, as the senior signal caller threw for 270 yards and 3 TDs against the Bulldogs, while adding 2 TDs rushing as well. With back-to-back impressive perfomances against two of the better schools in the SEC, Boyd has quickly moved himself to top five status in the Heisman race.
The skinny: Boyd's biggest competition won't come from teammate Sammy Watkins, but rather Florida State's Winston. As long as the Tigers keep winning, and Boyd plays mistake free football, he should hold his position. He'll have a few weeks to pad his stats before the Seminoles come to town on October 19th.
Up Next: South Carolina St
4. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia: Ran for 154 yards and 2 TDs in a losing effort for the Georgia Bulldogs. While most of the attention prior to the Georgia-Clemson contest centered on Boyd and Bulldogs' quarterback Aaron Murray, it was Gurley who ended up making the second biggest statement of the night.
The skinny: Despite gashing the Clemson defense for 12.8 ypc, Gurley still had to come out of the game due to cramping in his quadricep. If the sophomore is to have any chance in this year's race, he will have to make sure he doesn't miss any more time.
Up Next: South Carolina
5. Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State: The junior had and up and down performance versus Buffalo, passing for 178 yards 2 TDs, and 1 interception. He also ran for 77 yards.
The skinny: The preseason favorite for Heisman among most experts, Miller will need to become more consistent in the passing game in order to wow voters. With the playmakers the Buckeyes have on offense this year, he should get the chance.
Up Next: San Diego State

July 6, 2009
By Daniella Markheim
On June 24, 106 Members of Congress introduced the Trade Reform,
Accountability, Development and Employment (TRADE) Act (H.R. 3012)
as the vehicle for reshaping U.S. trade policy. Mandating
additional reviews of current and potential trade agreements and
adding a multitude of new exceptions, regulatory barriers, and
other requirements, the act, if implemented, will effectively bring
to a halt the free flow of goods and services into and out of the
United States--hurting U.S. consumers and exporters alike.
Though cloaked as a measure designed to "ensure that trade is
fair for our workers and economy,"[1] in reality such "fairness"
means special breaks and government handouts for the politically
connected and powerful, with the rest of America paying the bill.
The real intent of the legislation is clear: to erect costly,
protectionist walls around America's economy. In the process, it is
likely to sound the death knell for the international trade system
as a whole.
Open Markets: A Vital American
As a consequence of more than six decades of trade
liberalization, the United States has become the central and
critical player in the global market, serving as a principle
consumer and producer of goods and services flowing around the
world. This trade has bolstered U.S. investment, jobs, economic
growth, and prosperity. Trade accounts for about one-third of U.S.
GDP, and open markets are vital to America's well-being. The
proposed interventions of the TRADE Act would end openness by:
The legislation would reduce America's presence in international
commerce and hurt workers and businesses in all nations--including
the U.S.
Rather than embracing protectionism in a misguided attempt to
promote "fair" opportunity, policymakers should preserve open
markets and instead redress the factors that produce less
competitive firms and workers. High U.S. corporate tax rates,
complex and inefficient retraining and jobs programs, costly
regulations, weak protection of property rights, and direct and
indirect subsidies are only some of the policy failures that bar
many from a "fair" chance to succeed.
Free trade is one of the greatest economic engines of change,
inspiring innovation and bolstering growth. By keeping America open
to trade, Congress can ensure that U.S. workers, consumers, and
companies really get a fair shot to earn and keep their place at
the top of the global marketplace.
Revamping U.S. Trade Agreements
As of the beginning of 2009, the U.S. has 11 free trade
agreements (FTAs) with 17 countries.[2] Though not all of the
agreements have been fully implemented, the U.S. has already seen
impressive results from these bilateral trade deals. In 2008, the
FTAs in force accounted for more than $1 trillion in two-way trade,
which is about 35 percent of the total of U.S. trade with the
world.[3] Along with the economic benefits of the
agreements, the FTAs bring strengthened political relationships
with strategic allies around the world.
Proponents of protectionist measures such as those in the TRADE
Act paint a dire picture of trade's impact on the U.S. economy,
pointing to factory closures and lost jobs. That picture is a lie.
Economy-wide, international trade accounts for only about 3 percent
of annual job losses, and in most years the U.S. economy overall
continues to create more jobs than it loses.[4]
Far more important in changing the composition of America's
workforce have been improvements in technology and shifts in
consumer preferences. The combined impact of innovation and reduced
barriers to trade has served to help the economy, not harm it.
Today, more than 57 million Americans are employed by firms that
engage in international trade.[5]
While production may fall in less competitive industries,
exporters and domestic producers that use lower-cost imported
inputs gain a competitive boost that promotes investment,
productivity, and growth in these industries. Lower prices for
imported goods also help households stretch their incomes, enabling
them to buy more of everything, including goods and services that
are produced domestically. With freer trade, resources flow from
less competitive uses to more competitive and efficient uses,
creating opportunity and bolstering long-run economic growth and
job creation.
The TRADE Act would compromise all of these benefits by:
In addition to holding trade agreements hostage to every
populist whim of Congress, the proposed legislation also seeks to
force America's trade partners to adopt U.S.-style regulations and
other policies that could be costly and inappropriate for their own
economies or else lose the benefits of a trade agreement. Moreover,
the TRADE Act could be used as a back door to increasing U.S.
regulation of labor, health, food, product safety, environment, and
other laws without transparent debate.
Introducing more stringent regulations into trade agreements
will not make trade "fairer" for America. Instead, it will unfairly
penalize American consumers and more efficient producers to benefit
uncompetitive firms unable to survive the marketplace without
government assistance. America cannot afford to abandon open market
The major economic benefits of free trade derive from the
differences among trading partners, which allow any country
embracing world markets a chance to become competitive. Free trade
is fair when countries with different advantages are allowed to
trade and capitalize on those differences.
TRADE Act Is Not the Answer
While it is certainly the case that America's trade agreements
can always be improved, that does not mean they are broken. Indeed,
reopening them is most likely to break them: Should the U.S. demand
to reopen NAFTA or other agreements as a means to pull back from
previous market access commitments, then it is fair to expect that
America's trade partners will retaliate with protectionist demands
of their own.
U.S. trade agreements do not need to be renegotiated to make
them better. Because it is clear that economies evolve over time,
NAFTA and the other agreements have working groups and formal
committees designed to continuously ensure that the rules of trade
defined in the agreements work effectively for all parties. More
can be done to help U.S. families, workers, and businesses by
vigorously supporting these efforts to keep trade free in the face
of changing economic conditions than by opening them to an
onslaught of special interest demands for protection and weakening
the rules-based system of international trade that has served the
U.S. so well.
The best approach to ensuring that America continues to reap the
benefits of international commerce is one that is based on a solid
commitment to advancing trade liberalization--not one that
undermines it. Without this commitment from the U.S., the pressure
for erecting barriers to trade and investment will build in many
countries, creating the real potential for a costly contraction in
global trade and world prosperity. Perhaps even more important,
advancing trade liberalization signals to the rest of the
international community that the U.S. will not abandon its world
economy by turning inward but remain committed to providing the
global leadership and vision needed to bolster its economic
recovery and growth in the long term.

This week, animal rights advocates protested at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., to raise awareness about the school's use of cats to teach medical students in its Pediatrics Advanced Life Support (PALS) program how to perform tracheal intubation, a practice that involves placing a tube down a newborn's windpipe.
Animals used in these procedures can suffer from a number of issues from bruising, bleeding and scarring to chronic pain and death. In some cases, lawsuits have been filed against schools that still support this practice by organizations such as the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine who believe that using animals violates the Animal Welfare Act since alternatives are widely available.
Only a handful of schools still use animals to teach medical students. The rest of the medical facilities in the U.S. and Canada have made the switch to non-animal models, such as the TraumaMan System, Synman, PREMIE Hal and human cadavers for medical and trauma training courses, including Harvard Medical School, Duke University, Yale University and the University of Michigan. These simulators are anatomically correct, realistic, can be used over and over again and have been approved by the American College of Surgeons.
In recent months, a growing number of schools have abandoned the use of animals in their curricula, including the Medical College of Wisconsin, East Carolina University, the University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University, the University of Oklahoma, the University Texas at Houston and Albert Einstein Medical Center.
Unfortunately, Washington University still believes it's alright to use animals and has attempted to justify the practice by saying that the cats are treated well and later adopted out… after repeatedly being used in the program for three years.
"Students report a cat gives them a better opportunity to visualize vocal cords that are moving and to learn to coordinate intubation with the animal's breathing. They also report greater confidence to deal more adequately with infant and pediatric emergencies," said a spokesman for the university in a statement.
Animal advocates disagree and are protesting the school's use of cats, when it could instead take advantage of simulators that are available there. Others, including physicians, agree with the stance that animals shouldn't be used and that simulators are more appropriate for teaching human anatomy. The study Dying to Learn: Exposing the Supply of Dogs and Cats to Higher Education found that both medical and veterinary students learn just as well through alternative teaching methods.
"This is such an easy campaign to win," Laura Shields, co-founder of St. Louis Vegan, told the Riverfront Times. "People have cats at home. To imagine someone restraining your cat, opening their mouth and cramming a tube down it, must really upset a lot of people."
Hopefully, Washington University will be next on the list of schools that stop using animals to teach students.
Please sign the petition asking Washington University to stop the cruel and unnecessary practice of using live animals and switch to infant simulators to teach pediatrics residents.

Absolutely horrendous! Disgusting pigs.This should be illegale!
Thanks Alicia.
I singed the petition ages ago. This sort of thing needs to stop. Universities should be places of learning and no harm towards animals should ever take place. The animals must be set free and allowed to live their lives without fear of being killed or hurt in any way.
you students who are comitting these actts should be ashamed of yourselfs these experiments do not prove anything anyway leave these cats alone its so cruel.
Use prisoners who are on death row, so what if they die - when will supposedly educated people realise that animals are not and never will be an alternative to a human - sickened by society and ashamed to be classed as a human being - would rather be a cat !!
Sandy, I agree with everything that Margaret just said, plus, please remember, this testing on these poor cats is done repeatedly, not just once. It is torture to the animal, no matter what you think. Maybe you should volunteer to be a test subject or perhaps volunteer your own child for the testing since it's just no big deal as far as you're concerned.
If you've ever been intubated, you might change your tune. The aftereffects are extremely uncomfortable and the patient must be monitored for possible injury. Anesthesia is no treat either. Pets that I've had to have operated on generally have diarrhea and vomiting after the anesthesia and there are a number of risks incurred during the procedure. This is from the "Medline Plus" site on the topic of endotracheal intubation"
"Additional risks for this procedure include trauma to the voice box (larynx), thyroid gland, vocal cords and trachea (windpipe), or esophagus. Puncture or perforation (tearing) of body parts in the chest cavity, leading to lung collapse, may also occur."
Surgery and anesthesia are invasive, painful, traumatic and dangerous. Hardly something I would want any living and feeling being to go through unnecessarily and without benefit to themselves.
This procedure is not torture, it is the very same thing that veterinarians do to cats every day when they anesthetize them for surgery. And those of you who are so stupid to think it is torture, the cats are anesthetized when they are intubated, just like you are when you are intubated for anesthesia. The tube is not crammed down the throat, it is carefully introduced into the trachea, just like it is for humans and any other animal being intubated. Do you fools really want doctors operating on you after learning surgery and other invasive procedures on rubber dolls? If so, well, you deserve what you get. the price of ignorance.
voted and signed, thanks for sharing :)
Petition, so signed!!!!!!!!!
We have years of experience experimenting on animals. This has given us the ability to make alternate methods for instruction that don't require animal experimentation and training. While the cats at Washington University are lucky enough to have a future after three years of training use, unlike so many other lab animals, there is no need for them to have to be used like this in the first place.

Allen has been a thorn in the side of city officials for years, trafficking in rumor and innuendo via his newsletter, often in the form of "letters" of clouded or dubious authorship. At Tuesday's Council meeting, Weisman presented evidence that Allen, going by a different name, was arrested for counterfeiting in the mid 1980s. As a result, he said, any complaints Allen had about city governance were suspect and should be ignored.
Officials already have a hard time getting people involved in local issues. If an individual fears interacting with city workers due to a shady past, problems may fester. A conviction 30 years, three years or even three months ago does not erase their right to be heard.

Where you get testing done may depend on several factors, including your child's age, where you live, and your insurance coverage. Below are basic guidelines on how to get an evaluation.
If you are worried that your child shows signs of autism or a developmental delay, talk to his or her pediatrician, nurse practitioner, or family medicine physician. They may be able to refer you to a local testing center.
There are many private practitioners, hospitals, and universities throughout Tennessee that offer autism evaluations. Some universities also offer research studies that include an autism evaluation. To find out more information, you can use the Tennessee Disability Pathfinder Database. You can also contact your local autism society and ask for recommendations.

Yesterday, Boston's city council voted unanimously to ban minors (those under the age of 16) from attending (live) mixed martial arts events.
The effort to ban said minors from such sporting events has been led by Boston city council president, Stephen J. Murphy.
Murphy, who originally tried to have minors under the age of 18 banned from attending MMA events, has been on a one-man-mission in his efforts to thwart the UFC's attempts to grow MMA in "Beantown" and according to UFC President Dana White, it's all been a charade and nothing more than a backdoor attack by the Las Vegas culinary union; a body that the UFC has been doing battle with for years, now and a conflict that emanates from an un-related issue, namely the union's desires to organize the Fertitta brother's "Stations Casinos".
In response, the UFC has issued a statement asking the council to reconsider the ban and in doing so, have publicly named council president Murphy and the allegations that he's raised, which are ostensibly that the sport is too violent and that some of its participants are homophobic and sexist, as being nothing more than falsehoods and inaccuracies; which they are.
As the ban itself is non-binding, it's over-ridden by State law, the net effect of it is a null to the promotion. Subsequently, if the UFC chooses to return to Boston they are free to do so and the council will be powerless to prevent it.
The odious part of this debate (if it can be called that) is that minors, even those well below the age of 16, not only watch MMA, but they participate in it. Denying them the right to see professionals doing what they themselves practice weekly at their clubs, makes no rational sense.
Moreover, these same minors are inundated daily with images of violence and sexuality, and it's in everything they watch. Whether or not it's a movie or video, the latest game, TV shows or the news, it doesn't stop and it's as graphic as they can make it. Yet, councilman Murphy made no note of these facts in his presentation to the council.
The whole argument against MMA, UFC or otherwise, is a complete sham and has no basis in either logic or fact and no matter how hard the political panderers try, they cannot and will not, be able to stop MMAs' inevitable rise to the top of organized professional sports.
To councilman Murphy, a man who's probably never watched an MMA fight in his entire life, I say let it go, because he has no idea as to what he's talking about and all he's accomplishing is nothing more than embarrassing himself and the city of Boston.
The UFC's statement to Boston's city council, in full, is as follows:
"Zuffa, LLC, owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, learned today that the Boston City Council passed a non-binding resolution regarding mixed martial arts (MMA).
The non-binding resolution merely concludes that the city of Boston should follow existing state law. However, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is extremely disappointed that the non-binding resolution is filled with blatant inaccuracies and falsehoods. The UFC organization finds it shocking that Councillor Murphy would present such a misleading document for consideration to the City Council.
UFC is proud of the recent event it put on at the TD Garden, which was televised around the world. By all measures, the event was a resounding success, generating millions of dollars in economic benefit for the community and cast the great city of Boston in a positive light," the statement read.
Councillor Murphy's resolution demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about what mixed martial arts is, the amazing world class athletes that compete in the sport, and the many benefits it brings to a community. There is clearly a reason why MMA is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
Consequently, it is unfortunate that Councillor Murphy's actions caused the Boston City Council to be manipulated by a union based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We would hope that the City Council, once it learns the truth about MMA and all of the positive aspects of the sport, would consider revoking this non-binding resolution."

Filmmaking is a family business for Rob Bowman. Taking a cue from his father Chuck—an Emmy-nominated writer, director, producer and television journalist—the younger Bowman got his start as a producer and director in the mid-1980s, working on such hit shows as The A-Team and Star Trek: The Next Generation. He solidified his reputation as a forward-thinking filmmaker when he earned his stripes as producer-director on The X-Files.
InCamera sat down with Bowman earlier this year as he was completing the 2012-2013 season of Castle. He talked about keeping up with the show's lightning-fast pace and his penchant for Rocky Road ice cream.
At what point in the development process do you generally begin thinking about the capture medium? You've asked the wrong person about what decision to make because the only decision I ever make is that it's got to be film. It's the only medium that has the dexterity and artistry to convey all the emotions and the story. However, digital is coming along. And I'm excited about the future possibilities of it … but in the meantime I'm fully entrenched in the world of Kodak and Panavision filmmaking.
Why is it important to you that Castle be shot on film? From a production standpoint, we go very, very fast on Castle. We don't blow through things, but because the show has a fast rhythm and pace, we do it fast. To get all the setups, we need to have a piece of equipment where all you do is stuff it full of film and stick a battery into it. And if something breaks, because it's a machine, you can hear it. So you stop and you fix it. But to add cables and keyboards and monitors and for the camera to not 'cry when it's sick' is a very unnerving thing. So it's much faster to shoot on film.
That's a really important distinction that few people ever talk about. Yeah, it tells you: 'Hey, I twisted my ankle.' 'I broke my finger.' 'I chipped a tooth.' Whatever it is, the camera will tell you. If you start hearing gears grinding like there's sand in it, you stop filming. We hear enough stories about how productions move to the next location and realize one of the digital locations didn't record.
In terms of the aesthetic values of film, the competition on both sides of our time slot has always been terrifying. We've gone up against the finest. So to be competitive, we try to be better storytellers, we try to be more entertaining and we try to be as cinematic as we can within the time and resources we have.
With digital, you can turn the camera on and shoot for days, whereas with film there comes a time when you need to call 'Cut.' How does that work in terms of the fast-paced style of the show? First of all, many actors like the sound of 'Roll camera,' then the clapper, and then a good sharp 'Action!' from the director, almost as a metronome to start performing. … An actor knows, 'When he says go, I'll do it and then I'll stop. And then I'll catch my breath and we'll do it again.' They don't necessarily know where the finish line is; they're just going to keep going. So that metronome of 'the take' is very helpful to an actor.
What do you say to your colleagues when you discuss origination formats? Film looks better, and art is subjective. I always use the Baskin Robbins analogy: I order Rocky Road because I like it, you order Chocolate Mint because you like it. That doesn't mean that Chocolate Mint is bad or Rocky Road is bad, it's just what we like. It doesn't mean that if you don't like the look of film you're wrong; it's just a matter of taste. If you're the person in charge of the look—which I am—and I say film looks better, what are you going to say? If I'm in charge of picking the ice cream, then everybody's getting Rocky Road!
Film is also the only proven archival medium. How important is it to you to know that the images you're capturing today will still be viable years from now? The extreme description is that it's kind of gut-wrenching to think that the things we're doing might be disposable. There's supposed to be, historically, some legacy to what we do. So maybe the archival process will get sorted out for digital … it's one of those costs that not many people talk about because it's not a financially viable part of the digital medium.

Green energy no guarantee for emission reductionJuly 7th, 2008
According to Ecotricity, a supplier of green electricity in the United Kingdom, what has so far been referred to as 'green electricity' does not guarantee that there will be a reduction in the greenhouse gas emissions. This is because some of the so-called 'green electricity' is not really renewable energy.
As per Ecotricity the only renewable energy that contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions as well reducing the dependency on fossil fuels is what is presently being developed. Ecotricity goes ahead to say that anyone who is not developing any renewable energy generation facility and yet claims to produce green electricity is lying.
Ecotricity has made public a table showing the funds invested in renewable energy project by the six major energy suppliers in the United Kingdom. Ecotricity itself has claimed that out of the combined electricity that it supplies twenty eight per cent of that amount is produced from renewable sources of energy. The energy supplier pledged that this would continue to increase as they set up more wind energy turbines.
But Ecotricity is not alone in accusing some energy suppliers of making some false green tariff allegations. An spokesman for Ofgem asserted that the energy regulator was concerned about the false green energy tariff claims and was working towards clearing the confusion that was reigning among electricity consumers over the matter. Ofgem is understood to be preparing a rating system which will clearly demonstrate which energy tariffs are of benefit to the environment.
