In his Washington Post column, George Will claimed that "evidence" of climate change is "elusive" and that scientists are overstating the threat of warming when they say -- in the words of a September 21 New York Times article Will criticizes -- that a recent "plateau" in temperatures has "no bearing" on the long-term warming trend; in fact, scientists routinely present strong evidence of long-term warming and its consequences -- including a September 2009 United Nations report Will himself cited that says "rapid environmental change is underway with the pace and the scale of climate change accelerating." Will has previously been criticized by the World Meteorological Organization, his own Post colleagues, and others for misusing scientific data to claim that warming may not be occurring.
From the September 30 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk:

In reports on FoxNews.com, America's Newsroom, and Your World, Fox News repeatedly advanced misinformation about Department of Energy loans recently granted to Fisker Automotive and Tesla Motors to support development of fuel-efficient vehicles, suggesting that those funds would be ill-spent. The false or misleading claims include: that the loans will be used to build cars that cost $89,000 and $109,000; that the loans will finance foreign manufacturing; and that Fisker and Tesla are European companies.
If there's one thing journalists love, it's pretending that every flaw evident among conservatives is mirrored exactly among liberals.
Sure, Ann Coulter may fantasize about killing journalists, and Lou Dobbs may help spread nutty ideas about Barack Obama's birthplace, and the conservative movement may have accused Bill Clinton of being complicit in dozens of murders, but reporters will rush to assure you that there are extremists on both the Left and the Right -- and they enjoy similar positions of prominence on both sides.
Enter Slate's William Saletan, whose recent feature about the "food police" contains this whopper of a false equivalence:
To justify taxes on unhealthy food, the lifestyle regulators are stretching the evidence about obesity and addiction ... Liberals like to talk about a Republican war on science, but it turns out that they're just as willing to bend facts. In wars of piety, science has no friends.
Oh, really? Many conservatives want to stop teaching evolution in schools, to pick but one obvious example. They deny global warming, even as the polar ice caps melt away before our eyes. But liberals are just as willing to bend facts, according to Will Saletan, because ... Well, because their estimates of the budgetary impact of increased obesity may be too high.
Yeah. That's the same.
(It's telling, by the way, that Saletan doesn't feel the need to list any actual conservative falsehoods by way of comparison -- he assumes it is self-evident that both sides are "just as willing to bend facts." No need to actually compare the ways in which they do so before making that assertion.)
On his September 23 show, Sean Hannity claimed that a New York Times article reporting that "global temperatures have been relatively stable for a decade and may even drop in the next few years" is in conflict with President Obama's comments at the United Nations that "[i]f we continue down our current course, every member of this assembly will see irreversible changes within their borders." But Times reporter Andrew C. Revkin, in the article Hannity misconstrued, also reported that the recent temperatures have "been seized upon by skeptics" but that scientists say short-term climate variability "has no bearing on the long-term warming effects of greenhouse gases" and that "trying to communicate such scientific nuances to the public -- and to policy makers -- can be frustrating."
From the September 25 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:

On their radio shows, both Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity seized on a World Climate Conference presentation on short-term natural climate variability by Mojib Latif, a prominent climate modeler, to suggest that, in Beck's words, Latif has "backed out now and said, 'We were wrong,' " about global warming because, according to Hannity, Latif stated that global temperatures are actually "cooling." In fact, Latif asserted that contrary to common "media" misperceptions of global warming as a "monotonic process" in which "each year is warmer than the preceding year," there are significant natural climate variations within the decadal timescale that do not change the "long-term warming trend."
Broadcasting live from California's Central Valley, Sean Hannity continued his oft-repeated attack on "radical" environmentalists and the Obama administration for supporting water pumping restrictions that protect threatened delta smelt, by claiming the restrictions are "drying up this once fertile area" and calling on President Obama to "turn this water on now." But according to the Department of the Interior, the pumping restrictions ended on June 30 and have been returning to capacity since; moreover, water resource issues in the valley persist for many reasons, including years of drought in California, despite conservatives' attempts to blame problems solely on the restrictions.
From the September 22 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

A Jim Angle report on cap and trade just featured a clip of Myron Ebell warning that environmental legislation would lead to "energy rationing" and higher prices. And who is Myron Ebell? FOX News identified him only via a chyron labeling him an "Energy and Environment Expert."
In fact, Ebell is Director of Energy and Global Warming Policy for the Conservative Enterprise Institute and "chairs the Cooler Heads Coalition, which comprises over two dozen non-profit groups in this country and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies."
The Competitive Enterprise Institute has enjoyed funding from, among others, Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, Texaco, General Motors, Richard Mellon Scaife's foundations, and the Koch family foundations (Koch Industries is the nation's largest privately-held energy company and a record-setting polluter. Oh, and they use the fortune the accumulated in part by stealing oil from US taxpayers and Indian lands to provide millions of dollars in funding for the conservative movement.)
Anyway, FOX Viewers don't know any of that. They're just told that Myron Ebell is an "Energy and Environment Expert." I guess FOX figures that telling them Ebell is funded by the nation's worst polluters would just confuse them.

Article Summary
Walk into any consumer electronics store and you'll likely encounter an overwhelming choice of wireless speaker systems on display. If you want premium cable-free sound, however, you can expect to pay a premium price. The Minx Go portable speaker from London-based Cambridge Audio is a little different. Not only is it claimed to offer high fidelity audio for a fraction of the cost of comparable systems, but its built-in battery keeps the party going long after other devices have given up and headed for the wall outlet. Gizmag has spent the last few weeks with a review unit, and we're suitably impressed.

North American International Auto Show 2012
The North American International Auto Show 2012 will see members of the automotive community from around the world coming together to look at the latest technologies and developments. A number of new vehicles will be debuted.
Legends Car Racing
Back in 1992, Charlotte Motor Speedway officials recognized that a need existed for an affordable race car that was easy to maintain. With increasing race car costs, car counts dropped, with an estimated 30% to 40% of North America's cars not competing due to costs. Research revealed that tracks with lower cost cars saw far greater participation. Thus, US Legend Cars, Inc. was introduced in January 1992, with the aim of creating an affordable race car that could race on smaller tracks and had lower maintenance costs. The first Legends Car debuted in April 1992, and since then the sport has grown tremendously.
North American International Auto Show 2011
The North American International Auto Show actually consists of four shows in one: The Press Preview (10 & 11 January 2011), the Industry Preview (12 & 13 January 2011), the Charity Preview (14 January 2011) and the Public Show (15 to 23 January 2011). The Industry Preview is a great opportunity for professionals from some […]

Toledo-Lucas County Public Library officials say they have been made aware of a possible major crisis for Ohio's public libraries.
TLCPL Oregon Branch manager Mary Beth Gratop is among those librarians state-wide urging local residents to put pressure on the Ohio Senate to pass House Bill 318.
According to the Ohio Library Council, this proposal would postpone the final cut in the state income tax. Although this proposal means that Ohioans will not pay any more state income taxes than they did in 2009, it will provide enough money to the state to balance the budget next year, a TLCPL press release states.
The TLCPL has already been impacted by an 18 percent cut from the Public Library Fund when the state budget was approved earlier this year.
Carbon dioxide levels in Luckey and Pemberville schools in the Eastwood district are well below the threshold that would pose a safety concern for students, according to the administration, which has retained consultants to plan a long-term solution to the problem.
"We have established baseline numbers in both buildings and know that without students, those buildings are fine," superintendent Brent Welker, said in a newsletter to residents.
Thomas Lingenfelder, principal of Webster Elementary School, asked for assistance in evaluating the air quality at the school last month after some students passed out during a music program.
An investigation by the Wood County Health Department determined there were elevated levels of carbon dioxide in several of the classrooms. The health department later determined the source was the students and teachers in each classroom and that simply venting the rooms with fresh air from the windows lowered the carbon dioxide to levels considered acceptable.
Two local entrepreneurs have announced they are opening new businesses. Doug Samsen will host a grand opening of his Samsen Furniture Outlet the day after Christmas and Jennifer Roberts has launched a photography and design services company..
Samsen's new store is located in Perrysburg across from Levis Commons. It will offer close-outs, discontinued styles, fabrics and overstocked merchandise. The store will also carry the clearance and scratch and dent furniture from Samsen's flagship store located on Rt. 51 in Genoa and Fine Designs located in Sylvania.
Doug Samsen is a second-generation owner of the Genoa store opened by his father Bob Samsen in 1954. He said the 6,600 square-foot store will offer warehouse and factory close-outs of brands found at the Genoa store such as Flexsteel, Ashley and Thomasville as well as Craftmaster and Best Chair.
Oregon Council, by a vote of 6-1, approved a contract last Monday with the Buehrer Group Architecture & Engineering, Inc., for the design of a new concession stand and restroom facility to serve the recreation department's new South Recreation Complex.
Councilman Sandy Bihn was opposed.
Last month, council was considering an $11,280 contract with Buehrer for the three-phased project.
Mike Seferian, who was mayor-elect at the time, was opposed, saying the city would be wasting money on a project that may not occur since there are no sanitary sewers at the site, just off Starr Extension. The matter was referred to a Dec. 7 recreation committee meeting for further discussion.
"Council wanted to get some direction with this proposal," said Seferian, who has since been sworn in as mayor.
"There's some discrepancy of where this possibly would go," he added, due to the lack of sewers.
A Toledo man is planning on opening a trading center in the former Value City Furniture Store at the Great Eastern Shopping Center.
Norm Eisen, of Toledo, will call the center Stormin Normin, which will feature vendors who will sell their goods, according to Northwood Administrator Pat Bacon.
The Plan Commission was cautions about the proposal, she said, out of concerns it would be a flea market.
"We already had a request like that, and it was turned down," said Bacon. "We don't want anything tacky or fly by night, with someone setting up card tables to sell their wares. But this is supposed to be a higher caliber shop."
Eisen went to the board of zoning appeals to get approval for signage, said Bacon.
The Plan Commission has given approval, but with conditions, according to Kimberly Grames, the city's planning, zoning and economic development coordinator.
"The Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit for one year," said Grames. Among the conditions: Eisen will have to report to the Plan Commission quarterly "to let them know how things are going," said Grames.

Transfer pattern of your choice to cardboard. Cut out along pattern line. Punch hole for jump ring.
Paint back of cardboard. Let dry.
Apply smooth coat of Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to front of cardboard with squeegee. Glue to wrong side of felt. Let dry for approximately one hour.

With Prejudice: Teachers Union Withdraws Labor Complaint
The Hawaii State Teachers Association has officially withdrawn its complaint with the Hawaii Labor Relations Board, but it didn't go as smoothly as Gov. Neil Abercrombie would have liked.
The complaint was filed in July 2011 after the state imposed 5 percent pay cuts and higher medical premiums as part of its "last, best, final offer" to the union when contract negotiations fell apart. HSTA claimed the state violated its collective bargaining rights by forcing teachers to accept the contract.
The long labor board hearings wrapped up in May 2012, but the gubernatorial-appointed board never made a ruling on the case. This was convenient for the state negotiating team when contract talks resumed because as long as that case was pending, the union couldn't strike.
In March, the state reached a roughly $350 million four-year contract agreement with HSTA that included pay raises, better health benefits — and a memorandum of understanding that required the union to withdraw its labor complaint.
On May 1, two weeks after the governor and HSTA President Wil Okabe signed the new deal, the union filed a motion to withdraw its complaint without prejudice with HLRB.
Abercrombie and members of the state contract negotiations team retorted May 7 with a motion in opposition. They didn't like the "without prejudice" part, which means the union can bring the same complaint against the state at a later date.
The labor board, comprised of Chair James Nicholson and member Rock Ley, sided with the state this week.
The board on Tuesday granted the withdrawal of the complaint, but with prejudice, meaning the union can't file the same complaint with the board.
And as the order states, "This …

Much like Lisboa itself (The city is somewhere i'd like to live in the future i think), this is an example of a hostel that just gets everything right.

Probably most of all though, the staff were helpful, fun and inclusive.. hope i'll be back someday, thanks to all for a great Lisbon experience

MXL 990 Mods
We have three modification options for the MXL 990. Are you looking for a simple upgrade, or a full rebuild? We have what you need.
We even have a video about it:
#1: Capsule Replacement
If you've never upgraded a mic before, you might wish to start with something very simple. The mic's capsule gives you 90% of the sound of the microphone. In the case of most inexpensive condensers, the capsule is a $5-$10 part that, frankly, does not sound very good. Our line of premium replacement capsules will re-voice your mic, giving you a much smoother and more musically useful sound. In the case of the 990, a new large-diaphragm capsule will lower the mic's self-noise too. And it can be replaced by soldering just two wires. For the MXL 990, we recommend the RK-47 or RK7. Both make wonderful all-purpose microphones, with great detail in the mids, and a neutral to dark top end -- a welcome contrast to most over-bright condensers.
#2: 990B Circuit Replacement Kit
Our premier mod kit for the MXL 990 replaces the entire circuit board with a high-quality, made-in-the-USA, dual-layer board with our full suite of audio enhancements and a Cardioid/Omni switch -- making your MXL 990 into a multipattern microphone with exceptionally low noise and high resolution. This kit fits all generations of MXL 990. It is the only circuit mod on the market for newer 990's made with surface-mount circuit boards. Click for more information on our MXL 990 PCB kits.
#3: Custom Headbasket
Our custom, handmade headbaskets for the MXL 990 provide both a cosmetic and sonic upgrade. Click for more information on replacement grilles for the MXL 990.

On The Political Economy Of Educational Vouchers
Two significant challenges hamper analyses of the collective choice of educational vouchers. One is the multi-dimensional choice set arising from the interdependence of the voucher, public education spending, and taxation. Second, even absent a voucher, preferences over public spending are not single-peaked; a middling level of public school spending may be less attractive to a household than either high public school spending or private education coupled with low public spending. We show that Besley and Coate's (1997) representative democracy model provides a viable approach to overcome these hurdles. We provide a complete characterization of equilibria with an endogenous voucher. A voucher is adopted in political equilibrium provided the coefficient of variation of income is sufficiently small. We undertake a parallel quantitative analysis. We find that no voucher arises in equilibrium for the U.S. income distribution, which exhibits too much heterogeneity. For tighter income distributions, including those in Douglas County, Colorado (where a voucher was recently adopted) and in Denmark (which has a national voucher program) our model predicts a positive voucher. Public support for a not-too-large voucher arises because the cross subsidy to public school expenditure from those switching to private schools outweighs the subsidy to those who attend private school in the absence of a voucher.

Articles about Y!OS
I really think this challenges software developers to have a much broader understanding of the ecosystem out there, the platform upon which to build which includes Y!OS type strategies. Starting to see the value you add to your customer, and realize what you need to write vs what you can leverage. Examples of this are comment systems such as Disqus, as well as feedback systems such as Get Satisfaction. Now, these applications seem first to be targeting the public consumer space, but I guess will migrate to be able to be more private.
Previously software developers needed to keep on top of the newest code level components such as ORM tools, caching tools, unit testing tools, etc. Now however, they need to add to the tools the services and platforms such as Google App Engine, Widget services, Y!OS and servers such as the Disqus and Get Satisfaction.

Very clean !!! Very good customer service Lily Parrish
Beautiful property, great staff, and I did enjoy getting to take a dip in the pool at the end of a long day, since it's open until midight!
$15 per day for spotty WiFi is terrible for a business traveler. I'm a Marriott Rewards member and so told WiFi was only free if I booked directly through Marriott - but you don't always have control over these things when you're booking business travel. Very little in the area - Sea World across the street, but just a 711 and Bonefish grill in the area and VERY DARK sidewalk and parking lot make it clear this is not an area for pedestrians. Seemed a great fit for families, with the water park, but as someone in town for a conference, it didn't offer anything to make me a repeat customer.
Staff are wonderful, specifically at the Mist, and values, very respectful and kind. Also, I thought I had misplaced some cash, and my room attendanant must have found it and he/she folded everything in my room nicely, and there was the bundle of money I thought I had lost! I loved the gym, the pool, the lobby bars and restaurants. Steve, Jimmy and Jamie, at the Mist, specifically, were kind and so nice and accommodating. Good service equals happy customers,they deserve a bonus for working hard and remaining not only calm, but kind, even at peak times with a variety of guests to deal with, including some that were less than kind.
My room had ants upon arrival, however I was quickly moved to a new room, although I had to ask for the move, it turned out on.
The staff was great - from the valet, to front desk, to concierge and housekeeping. Lounge and restaurant (buffet breakfast was GREAT) drinks, food and service were top notch. We found everything clean, well-stocked, and in good condition. Very comfortable beds, linens, and nice towels. Room was very quiet, even though it was close to the elevators. Free valet parking for our Hybrid car, too!
The A/C didn't quite do the job - it never did get down to the thermostat temp of 72 - although it indicated it was. We then set it to 65, but it never got any cooler. Had we stayed another night, we would have asked that it be addressed. In room coffemakers - inconveniently placed on a bottom shelf of the TV cabinet. On/off switch was broken. Two creamers that barely turned the coffee a different color - surely could be better on that front.
The atmosphere was beautiful. All staff and services were amazing. Dominic at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and well designed.
Parking is $20 but it's not too bad considering how affordable the hotel is.
Everything. Staff, cleanliness, spectacular room accommodation, food, pool. 5 stars from us. Will be back next month.
Friendly staff, very nice hotel, great food, nice pool, 20.00 resort fee per day very worth it. Walking distance to Seaworld and Aquatica.
Nothing....liked everything
The water park was amazing, the rooms we luxurious and clean!!! This will be where me and my family stay every time we visit Orlando!!! The price was good as well!!
There was nothing to not like!!
Gentlemen at front desk remembered us from a previous visit . Personal service.
Staff were very nice and the hotel was very clean. It also had one of the best hotel gyms and pools. Rooms prices were very affordable.
The hotel restaurants were expensive and they charge you alot for parking.
Walking distance to sea world gate, very helpful staff, beautiful pool.
Pretty pricy at the bar for beverages but that is just my opinion.
The staff that greeted us upon arrival was pleasant and welcoming. Some were knowledgeable and were able to give us accurate advice and information regarding the hotel and surroundings. The room was clean and the daily service was good. Our conference box lunches were adequate...the cookie in our box lunch was outstanding!
There is a $20 fee per day for the shuttle to Disney theme parks plus other amenities like in-room wifi. However, with our conference ending at 4:30 each day, there was no shuttle to take us to the Disney theme parks. Therefore, we had to use a taxi as our only mode of transportation to and from the parks. This became quite costly (approx. $70 per day). Once at a Disney park, you could use the various buses and the monorail to go between parks and Downtown Disney. However, we were quite disappointed that the Renaissance did not offer more options for their shuttle service in the afternoon. When trying to figure out our best options for transportation, the staff at the front desk was not always consistent in their answers and some were absolutely inaccurate.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Stories for a Better Worldby Jack Canfield Mark Victor Hansen Susanna Palomares Linda Williams Candice Carter Bradley Winch
Do you believe that a story can change your life? That it can inspire you to be happier, more confident, and more caring? That it can lift your mood, clear your head, and give you perspective? Now what about 101 of the most uplifting stories you've ever read about people reaching out, stepping up, and transforming their lives and the world around them??At Chicken Soup for the Soul, we know that a story can change your heart. It can touch your mind. It can free your soul. The moment might be as simple as a small child giving water to a dog on a hot day or as heart-wrenching as a parent responding with love to the murder of their child. It might be as common as a class of poor immigrants giving their young instructor a new coat she needed but couldn't afford; as life changing as an unruly student learning to love math because of a dedicated teacher; as satisfying as someone apologizing for a hurtful action of several years before; or as monumental as the international work of Jimmy Carter and Oscar Arias, former President of Costa Rica. As these stories so wonderful illustrate, the power to change starts with you, but it doesn't end there. When we change one heart at a time--our own and then those around us--we create a better world. We hope these stories will touch and change your heart today.

"The Nest" is a charming two bedroom villa with a private tropical garden, offering you the best of both worlds - a swimming pool located right next to the villa and the beautiful Cavelossim Beach an easy 5 minute stroll away for glorious sunsets and a 25km unbroken stretch of fine sand.
The villa is beautifully decorated and houses two air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms along with a fully equipped kitchen. But what you will enjoy the most is the delightful garden with its relaxing hammock, the open dining veranda and the secluded sunbathing area where you can work on your tan in the privacy of your own garden space.
The villa offers exceptional value for money with a full maid cleaning service six days a week, fresh linen twice weekly, a washing machine, well-equipped kitchen with a microwave oven etc all included in the price of your holiday.
The Nest is part of a beautiful and green condominium of around 70 villas, called Luisa by the Sea, located in South Goa. It offers you the best of both worlds. The tranquil river bank setting of Luisa by the Sea makes it an ideal haven for those in search of peace and quiet, while an easy 5 minute stroll takes you to the famous Cavelossim beach, home to a plethora of beach shacks serving fresh and absolutely delicious food.
This beach is wide and almost 25km long unbroken stretch of sand. You and your children can enjoy cycling on the beach, swimming or splashing about in the warm waters, water sports like parasailing and jet skiing, or simply playing in the sand. There are boat tours that will take you out into the sea for a few hours to spot dolphins. And you get to experience amazing sunsets on the beach.
Turn right at the main road and within 2 minutes you come to a parade of shops selling a range of wonderful clothes and artifacts you immediately want to take home!
There are so many restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute walking radius that you can easily try a different one every night of your holiday, with an excellent selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine – Goan, North India, South Indian and Continental.
The Radisson Hotel, with its famous nightclub "Tito's", is almost right outside the gates of Luisa by the Sea.
Cycles and scooters (or a taxi) are available for hire just outside Luisa by the Sea.

The Goa region
Goa exudes charm and warmth mainly because of the friendly and happy-go-lucky people who reside there. The people of Goa are extremely hospitable and make their guests feel at home.
A very important part of the life of an average Goan is a 'Siesta'. This is basically an afternoon break when Goans retire back to their houses, shut down shops and take a break.
With lovely sundrenched beaches and a multitude of food shacks, Goa is the ideal tourist paradise. It also offers a unique multicultural and multireligious experience, with friendly people, ancient temples and old churches next to each other, and a combination of Indian and Portuguese influences.
GOA SPICE PLANTATIONS: There is more to Goa than just beaches, A major attraction in the rural side are the spice plantations. Situated in the region called Ponda (in central Goa), the spice plantations in Goa use organic methods of cultivation and farming. The spices that are produced are then cleaned and ground into powder.
The spice plantations of Goa are quite popular as a tourist attraction. On a typical excursion to the spice plantations, you shall begin your day by starting to explore the fields and the farms. It is very astonishing to see men climbing on very tall trees while maintaining a balance and at the same time plucking betel nut fruits from those swaying trees. The spice plantations are managed by people who have comprehensive knowledge and excel in technical knowhow of farming spices. Some major spices produced in these plantations are: * Black pepper * Cardamom * Nutmeg * Vanilla * Cinnamon * Cloves *Chillies * Betel nut * Coriander.
The Nest is located in a beautiful and green condominium of around 70 villas, called Luisa by the Sea, located in South Goa, on the banks of the River Sal. The Cavelossim beach is across the road from the condominium, and is only a 5 minute stroll away from the villa itself.
One of the more famous beaches in India, the Cavelossim beach of Goa will give you the experience of a lifetime when you come here for a vacation. Located between the Arabian Sea and the Sal River, with 25km of unbroken fine sand, the Cavelossim beach is the ideal place to enjoy your vacation.
BEACH ACTIVITIES: You and your children can enjoy cycling on the beach, swimming or splashing about in the warm waters, water sports like parasailing and jet skiing, or simply playing in the sand. There are boat tours that will take you out into the sea for a few hours to spot dolphins.
EATING OUT AND NIGHTLIFE: During the tourist season from November to April, there are several restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute walking radius, many beach shacks serving fresh and absolutely delicious food, and some highly recommended restaurants like Fisherman's Wharf within a 2 kilometer radius. They all provide an excellent selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine – Goan, North India, South Indian and Continental.
The Radisson Hotel, with its famous nightclub Titos, is almost right outside the gates of Luisa by the Sea and the starred Hotels The Leela and the Holiday Inn are just 2 kilometres away.
DOLPHIN AND SUNSET CRUISES: Cavelossim is famous for its dolphin spotting tours and expeditions. One can also go on sunset cruises on the Sal River. Feel the magic take over as you feel completely at peace with yourself when you see the sun set at a distance and the water gets painted golden orange. Dolphin cruises in the sea are fun and you can be sure to spot a dolphin or two cruising along your boat. If you are lucky enough, they can come real close and allow you to touch them.
SHOPPING: There are several shops and shacks for groceries, medicines, liquor, clothes, trinkets, souvenirs, and whatever else a person would normally need on a holiday, within a five minute stroll. Several tailors provide material and stitching for Indian and Western outfits delivered at short notice.
Cycles and scooters are available for hire from many sources just outside Luisa by the Sea.
Taxis are available at the gate of Luisa by the Sea to take you all over Goa.
And if you want to experience the local bus, it operates at 30 minute intervals and takes you to Madgaon. For longer journeys, Madgaon offers many buses to take you all over Goa.

"Quality family time........"
The Nest is set in fantastic well kept gardens and is great for watching all the beautiful birds. Your within easy walking distance to the beach, Watson's supermarket, great restaurants. The village has everything you need. There are normally taxis waiting near the gated entrance.The nest is a well kept villa. (Has the odd high cob web, but I'm a dust freak, my Sister in law didn't notice) It has everything you need, comfortable, peace and tranquillity. Frankie, is on hand to sort any problems out. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, who shared there local knowledge of restaurants, nothing is too much trouble. All in all we had a fantastic time, would have no problem recommending this villa to families with children or couples. Disappointed it's booked when we return next month, but we will be back. Thanks for everything. Regards Tina & Graham.

Fruits vs. Veggies
I know plenty of people who love fruit, but feel quite differently about vegetables. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and folic acid are just some of the many vitamins that you can get from fruits if you don't like vegetables. All three are found in dark green vegetables, for example. Not bonkers for broccoli? Feel free to enjoy the fruits listed above, and get your daily dose of these vitamins.
And what about the powerful phytochemicals found in colorful vegetables, which you've been hearing so much about in the news? Many of them are found in fruit, too.
Anthocyanins and proanthocyanins, which are thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, are in most berries and grapes, in addition to eggplant and red cabbage. Lutein, which is known to have antioxidant action, is in oranges as well as dark green veggies. Lycopene, another antioxidant, can be found in watermelon, guava, and red and pink grapefruit in addition to tomatoes.
Red grapes and blueberries contribute resveratrol, an antioxidant that may offer protection from heart disease. Blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple have p-courmaric, another known antioxidant. The antioxidant quercetin is found in apples, pears, cherries, grapes, and strawberries. Lots of fruits contain the phenolic acid phytochemical group: bright green kiwifruit; purple fruits like plums and blackberries; red cherries, strawberries and cranberries; and orange fruits like guava and mango.
Dressing Up Your Fruit Salad
You can dress up your fruit salad with all sorts of additional ingredients. There are things you toss in for texture and flavor pizzazz -- like walnuts or gingersnap crumbs if you want something crunchy, and miniature marshmallows if you want something sweet. And then there are things you drizzle onto the fruit, like flavored light yogurt if you want something creamy and tart or a splash of amaretto liqueur if you want a little kick.
What should you avoid adding to your fruit salad if you're trying to trim calories? First, there's whipped cream, with 51 calories per 2-tablespoon serving. Some recipes call for mayonnaise or Miracle Whip -- but at 200 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, you're better off without it. (See the recipe below for a lighter Mock Mayo for your fruit salad recipes.)

The Effects of Employment while Pregnant on Health at Birth
Today, many pregnant women take a brief period of time off from work to give birth. In this paper, I identify the effects of pregnancy employment on health at birth. My initial results show that pregnancy employment has beneficial effects. However, these effects often become statistically insignificant when I control for earnings from pregnancy employment, when I exclusively examine women employed prior to the pregnancy, and when I examine siblings in fixed effects models. I conclude that beneficial effects of pregnancy employment are partially due to increased family income via earnings during the pregnancy and partially due to unobserved heterogeneity. There is no evidence that increased female labor force participation adversely affects health at birth.

Armed police swoop in New Cross after gunshots heard
Mark Chandler, deputy news editor / / News
A New Cross road was cordoned off by armed police yesterday morning after neighbours reported gunshots being fired.

But despite cordoning off the area and making a thorough search, no victims, suspects or firearms were found.
